Abstract

Provided is a method for transmitting control information by a terminal, the terminal generates a first bit stream for first control information and a second bit stream for second control information; determines the transmission power of the first bit stream and the second bit stream on the basis of the weight of the first control information with respect to the second control information; generates a multiplexed bit stream by multiplexing the first bit stream and the second bit stream; and transmits the multiplexed bit stream to a base station on the basis of the transmission power.

Claims (41)

1. A method for transmitting control information through uplink in a wireless communication system, by a user equipment, the method comprising the steps of:

generating a first bit stream related to first control information and a second bit stream related to second control information;

determining transmission power of each of the first bit stream and the second bit stream based on a weight of the first control information in relation to the second control information;

determining effective coding rates of the first bit stream and the second bit stream based on the weight, wherein the first bit stream and the second bit stream are subject to channel coding based on the effective coding rates;

generating a multiplexed bit stream by multiplexing the first bit stream and the second bit stream; and

transmitting the multiplexed bit stream to a base station based on the transmission power.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first information is HARQ ACK or NACK, and

the second information is Channel State Information (CSI).

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first bit stream and the second bit stream are transmitted through a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) format 3.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the step of determining the transmission power comprises steps of:

modulating the first bit stream and the second bit stream using QPSK;

mapping the modulated first bit stream to a real part of a QPSK constellation and mapping the modulated second bit stream to an imaginary part of the QPSK constellation; and

applying the weight to the imaginary part of the QPSK constellation.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the step of determining the transmission power comprises steps of:

modulating the first bit stream and the second bit stream using QPSK;

mapping the modulated first bit stream to a real part of a QPSK constellation;

multiplying the modulated second bit stream by an imaginary number j and mapping the multiplied second bit stream to an imaginary part of the QPSK constellation; and

applying the weight to the imaginary part of the QPSK constellation.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising a step of performing interleaving on the first bit stream and the second bit stream.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the weight is determined based on priorities of the first control information and the second control information.

8. A method for transmitting control information through uplink in a wireless communication system, by user equipment, the method comprising steps of:

generating a first bit stream for first control information and a second bit stream for a second control information;

determining effective coding rates of the first bit stream and the second bit stream based on a weight of the first control information in relation to the second control information;

performing channel coding on the first bit stream and the second bit stream based on the effective coding rates;

generating a multiplexed bit stream by multiplexing the channel-coded first bit stream and the channel-coded second bit stream; and

transmitting the multiplexed bit stream to a base station.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein:

the first information is HARQ ACK or NACK, and

the second information is Channel State Information (CSI).

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first bit stream and the second bit stream are transmitted through a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) format 3.

11. The method of claim 8 , the weight is determined based on priorities of the first control information and the second control information.

12. A wireless device for transmitting control information through uplink in a wireless communication system, the wireless device comprises:

a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor operatively coupled to the RF unit, wherein the processor is configured for:

generating a first bit stream related to first control information and a second bit stream related to second control information;

determining transmission power of each of the first bit stream and the second bit stream based on a weight of the first control information in relation to the second control information;

determining effective coding rates of the first bit stream and the second bit stream based on the weight, wherein the first bit stream and the second bit stream are subject to channel coding based on the effective coding rates;

generating a multiplexed bit stream by multiplexing the first bit stream and the second bit stream; and

transmitting the multiplexed bit stream to a base station based on the transmission power.

13. The wireless device of claim 12 , wherein weight is determined based on priorities of the first control information and the second control information.
