Abstract

The present disclosure relates to communication schemes for combining 5G communication systems with IoT technology to support higher data transmission rate as post-4G systems and systems for the same. The present disclosure may be used in intelligent services (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, or connected car, health-care, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related services, etc.) based on the 5G communication technology and IoT-related techniques. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for transmitting control information in a wireless communication system comprises generating a header including a plurality of MAC subheaders and a medium access control (MAC) control information including a control field indicating whether there are included information related to a power headroom for a primary cell (PCell) and information regarding secondary cells (SCells) reportable to an extended power headroom and transmitting a payload including the MAC control information and the header, wherein the control field indicating activation or deactivation of at least one of the SCells.

generating a header including a plurality of MAC subheaders and a medium access control (MAC) control information including a control field indicating whether there are included information related to a power headroom for a primary cell (PCell) and information regarding secondary cells (SCells) reportable to an extended power headroom; and

transmitting a payload including the MAC control information and the header, wherein the control field indicating activation or deactivation of at least one of the SCells.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of MAC subheaders indicates presence of the MAC control information.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of SCells is 32.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining an activation/deactivation medium access control control element (A/D MAC CE) format to be used to activate or deactivate at least one SCell according to one of a first rule and a second rule.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the first rule is that when the number of remaining SCells other than a Wi-Fi SCell is seven or less, a legacy A/D MAC CE format is used, and when the number of the remaining SCells exceeds seven, an extended A/D MAC CE format is used.

6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the second rule is that when a highest SCellIndex value of remaining SCells other than a Wi-Fi SCell is seven or less, a legacy A/D MAC CE format is used, and when the highest SCellIndex value exceeds seven, an extended A/D MAC CE format is used.

7 . An apparatus for transmitting control information in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a controller generating a header including a plurality of MAC subheaders and a medium access control (MAC) control information including a control field indicating whether there are included information related to a power headroom for a primary cell (PCell) and information regarding secondary cells (SCells) reportable to an extended power headroom; and

a transmitter transmitting a payload including the MAC control information and the header, wherein the control field indicating activation or deactivation of at least one of the SCells.

8 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein one of the plurality of MAC subheaders indicates presence of the MAC control information.

9 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the number of SCells is 32.

10 . The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the controller determines an activation/deactivation medium access control control element (A/D MAC CE) format to be used to activate or deactivate at least one SCell according to one of a first rule and a second rule.

11 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first rule is that when the number of remaining SCells other than a Wi-Fi SCell is seven or less, a legacy A/D MAC CE format is used, and when the number of the remaining SCells exceeds seven, an extended A/D MAC CE format is used.

12 . The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the second rule is that when a highest SCellIndex value of remaining SCells other than a Wi-Fi SCell is seven or less, a legacy A/D MAC CE format is used, and when the highest SCellIndex value exceeds seven, an extended A/D MAC CE format is used.

13 . A method for receiving control information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a broadcast message, the broadcast message including at least one or more bits indicating whether to support a repetitive transmission count of narrowband and system information;

identifying whether a first cell supports narrowband and/or enhanced coverage; and

when the first cell supports the narrowband and/or enhanced coverage, receiving system information based on the repetitive transmission count.

14 . An apparatus for receiving control information in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a receiver receiving a broadcast message, the broadcast message including at least one or more bits indicating whether to support a repetitive transmission count of narrowband and system information; and

a controller identifying whether a first cell supports narrowband and/or enhanced coverage, and when the first cell supports the narrowband and/or enhanced coverage, receiving system information based on the repetitive transmission count.

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

receiving system information, the system information including information regarding frequency hopping and multiple physical random access channel (PRACH) resource sets; and

determining a radio resource to be used for a preamble to be used based on the system information.

16 .
