Efficient control information transmission method and apparatus for supporting multiple antenna transmission technique
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and provides an efficient control information transmission method and apparatus for supporting a multiple antenna transmission technique. A method is provided for transmitting downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information related to an uplink multiple codeword transmission and includes receiving the uplink multiple codeword transmission, generating HARQ information related to each of the multiple codewords based on a result of decoding each of the multiple codewords, modulating the HARQ information, and transmitting the modulated HARQ information via one or more physical HARQ indicator channels (PHICHs).
1. A method of transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting a first codeword (CW) and a second CW to a base station (BS) via the PUSCH;
receiving downlink control information (DCI) from the BS via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the DCI including a first new data indicator (NDI) field corresponding to the first CW and a second NDI field corresponding to the second CW; and
retransmitting at least the first CW or the second CW when at least the first NDI field or second NDI field has not been toggled,
wherein the DCI further includes a first redundancy version (RV) field for the first CW, a second RV field for the second CW, a PUSCH resource block allocation field, a transmit power control (TPC) command for the PUSCH, a cyclic shift field for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), a channel state information (CSI) request field, a precoding information field, an uplink index for time division duplexing (TDD) and a downlink allocation index for the TDD.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting a new CW instead of the at least the first CW or second CW when the at least the first NDI field or second NDI field has been toggled.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first NDI field and the second NDI field are determined based on a result of a reception of the first CW and the second CW in the BS.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the corresponding first NDI field and second NDI field is toggled for requesting new data if the at least the first CW or the second CW is received correctly in BS.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a physical hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) indication channel (PHICH) indicating an acknowledgement (ACK) or a negative acknowledgement (NACK),
wherein a physical HARQ process for the PUSCH is performed based only on the DCI regardless of the received PHICH.
6. The method of claim 1 , when the first NDI field is set to a previous NDI value for requesting retransmission of the first CW if the first CW is not received correctly.
7. A method of scheduling a transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
determining a first new data indicator (NDI) field corresponding to a first codeword (CW) and a second NDI field corresponding to a second CW for scheduling the transmission of the PUSCH; and
transmitting downlink control information (DCI) to a user equipment (UE) via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the DCI including the first NDI field and the second NDI field,
wherein the DCI further includes a first redundancy version (RV) field for the first CW, a second RV field for the second CW, a PUSCH resource block allocation field, a transmit power control (TPC) command for the PUSCH, a cyclic shift field for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), a channel state information (CSI) request field, a precoding information field, an uplink index for time division duplexing (TDD) and a downlink allocation index for the TDD.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising receiving the first CW and the second CW from the UE via the PUSCH.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first NDI field and the second NDI field are determined based on a result of the reception of the first CW and the second CW.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the corresponding first NDI field or second NDI field is toggled for requesting new data if at least the first CW or the second CW is received correctly.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first NDI field is set to a previous NDI value for requesting retransmission of the first CW if the first CW is not received correctly.
12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising receiving a new CW instead of the first CW or second CW when at least the first NDI field or second NDI field has been toggled.
13. The method of claim 7 , further comprising transmitting a physical hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) indication channel (PH ICH) indicating an acknowledgement (ACK) or a negative acknowledgement (NACK),
wherein a physical HARQ process for the PUSCH performed based only on the DCI regardless of the received PHICH.
