Method and apparatus for transmitting control information in a wireless communication system
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for transmitting acknowledgement/negative ACK (ACK/NACK) in a wireless communication system which supports carrier aggregation, and to an apparatus for the method. A method in which a terminal transmits ACK/NACK in a wireless communication system that supports carrier aggregation comprises the following steps: receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH); receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) indicated by the PDCCH; and transmitting ACK/NACK for the PDSCH via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). A PUCCH format for transmitting ACK/NACK is selected by taking the number of aggregated carriers into account.
1. A method for a base station (BS) to receive Acknowledgement/Negative ACK (ACK/NACK) in a wireless communication that supports carrier aggregation, the method comprising:
transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);
transmitting a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) indicated by the PDCCH; and
receiving ACK/NACK for the PDSCH through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH),
wherein a PUCCH format for receiving the ACK/NACK is configured in consideration of a number of aggregated carriers,
wherein if a first PUCCH format is used for receiving the ACK/NACK, the number of aggregated carriers is 1, and if a second PUCCH format is used for receiving the ACK/NACK, the number of aggregated carriers is 2 or greater, and
wherein the first PUCCH format uses a sequence generated by a root sequence and a cyclic shift for transmitting the ACK/NACK, and the second PUCCH format uses discrete Fourier transform (DFT) for the ACK/NACK.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a resource for the first PUCCH format is determined based on an index of a control channel element (CCE) that constitutes the PDCCH, and a resource for the second PUCCH format is indicated by the PDCCH.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the resource for the second PUCCH format is indicated by a value of a transmit power control (TPC) filed of the PDCCH.
4. A base station (BS) configured to receive Acknowledgement/Negative ACK (ACK/NACK) in a wireless communication system that supports carrier aggregation, the BS comprising:
an radio frequency (RF) unit; and
a processor, the processor configured to transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), to transmit a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) indicated by the PDCCH, and to receive ACK/NACK for the PDSCH through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH),
wherein a PUCCH format for receiving the ACK/NACK is configured in consideration of a number of aggregated carriers,
wherein if a first PUCCH format is used for receiving the ACK/NACK, the number of aggregated carriers is 1, and if a second PUCCH format is used for receiving the ACK/NACK, the number of aggregated carriers is 2 or greater, and
wherein the first PUCCH format uses a sequence generated by a root sequence and a cyclic shift for transmitting the ACK/NACK, and the second PUCCH format uses discrete Fourier transform (DFT) for the ACK/NACK.
5. The BS of claim 4 , wherein a resource for the first PUCCH format is determined based on an index of a control channel element (CCE) that constitutes the PDCCH, and a resource for the second PUCCH format is indicated by the PDCCH.
6. The BS of claim 5 , wherein the resource for the second PUCCH format is indicated by a value of a transmit power control (TPC) filed of the PDCCH.
