Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting Uplink Control Information (UCI) on a data channel in a multi-carrier wireless communication system. The method includes channel-coding a UCI with reference to a number of UCI bits available; dividing the channel coded UCI bits into a number of Physical Uplink Shared Channels (PUSCHs); and transmitting the UCI multiplexed with data on the individual PUSCHs.

Claims (44)

1. A method for transmitting information by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying uplink control information (UCI);

identifying a serving cell among a plurality of serving cells, based on information on a cell index of the serving cell; and

transmitting the UCI on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the identified serving cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a serving cell with a smallest cell index among the plurality of serving cells is determined as the identified serving cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of serving cells includes a first cell and at least one second cell, and

wherein the first cell has a smallest cell index among the plurality of serving cells.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first cell is a primary cell and the at least one second cell is at least one secondary cell.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the identified serving cell is determined as the primary cell, if the PUSCH is allocated to the primary cell.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the identified serving cell is determined as a secondary cell with a smallest cell index among the at least one secondary cell, if the PUSCH is not allocated to the primary cell.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI includes at least one of a channel quality indicator (CQI) information, and acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information.

8. An apparatus of a terminal for transmitting information in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a transceiver configured to communicate with at least one base station; and

a controller configured to control the terminal to identify uplink control information (UCI), to identify a serving cell among a plurality of serving cells, based on information on a cell index of the serving cell, and to transmit the UCI on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the identified serving cell.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a serving cell with a smallest cell index among the plurality of serving cells is determined as the identified serving cell.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of serving cells include a first cell and a second cell, and

wherein the first cell has a smallest cell index among the plurality of serving cells.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first cell is a primary cell and the at least one second cell is at least one secondary cell.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the identified serving cell is determined as the primary cell, if the PUSCH is allocated to the primary cell.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the identified serving cell is determined as a secondary cell with a smallest cell index among the at least one secondary cell, if the PUSCH is not allocated to the primary cell.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the UCI includes at least one of a channel quality indicator (CQI) information, and acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information.

15. A method for receiving information by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving uplink control information (UCI) from a terminal;

extracting the UCI from a serving cell among a plurality of serving cells for the terminal; and

decoding the extracted UCI,

wherein the serving cell for the UCI is determined based on information on a cell index of the serving cell.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein a serving cell with a smallest cell index among the plurality of serving cells is determined as the serving cell for the UCI.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of serving cells include a first cell and at least one second cell, and

wherein the first cell has a smallest cell index among the plurality of serving cells.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the first cell is a primary cell and the at least one second cell is at least one secondary cell.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the UCI is received on the primary cell, if a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is allocated to the primary cell.

20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the UCI is received on a secondary cell with a smallest cell index among the at least one secondary cell, if a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is not allocated to the primary cell.

21. The method of claim 15 , wherein the UCI includes at least one of a channel quality indicator (CQI) information, and acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information.

22. An apparatus of a base station for receiving information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

a transceiver configured to communicate with a terminal; and

a controller configured to control the base station to receive uplink control information (UCI) from the terminal, to extract the UCI from a serving cell among a plurality of serving cells for the terminal, and to decode the extracted UCI,

wherein the serving cell for the UCI is determined based on information on a cell index of the serving cell.

23. The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein a serving cell with a smallest cell index among the at least one serving cell is determined as the serving cell for the UCI.

24. The apparatus of claim 22 , wherein the plurality of serving cells include a first cell and at least one second cell, and

wherein the first cell has a smallest cell index among the plurality of serving cells.

25. The apparatus of claim 24 , wherein the first cell is a primary cell and the at least one second cell is at least one secondary cell.

26. The apparatus of claim 25 , wherein the UCI is received on the primary cell, if a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is allocated to the primary cell.

27. The apparatus of claim 25 , wherein the UCI is received on a secondary cell with a smallest cell index among the at least one secondary cell, if a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is not allocated to the primary cell.

28. The method of claim 22 , wherein the UCI includes at least one of a channel quality indicator (CQI) information, and acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information.
