Abstract

A user equipment (UE), including: a receiver configured to receive downlink data transmitted by a base station via downlink component carriers including a secondary component carrier; and a circuit configured to select uplink resources from available resources for transmitting response signals obtained by decoding the received downlink data and select corresponding modulation symbols by using a mapping relation between a state of the response signals and the selected resources and the modulation symbols according to the state of the response signals; wherein the available resources include resources corresponding to a primary component carrier and resources allocated to the secondary component carrier by the base station; and, wherein the mapping relation includes cases in which the resource corresponding to the response signal that is NACK/DTX is not selected; where NACK represents Negative Acknowledgement, and DTX represents Discontinuous Transmission; and when the response signals are all DTX, no resource is selected.

Claims (11)

1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a receiver configured to receive downlink data transmitted by a base station via downlink component carriers including a secondary component carrier; and

a circuit configured to select uplink resources from available resources for transmitting response signals obtained by decoding the received downlink data and select corresponding modulation symbols by using a mapping relation between a state of the response signals and the selected resources and the modulation symbols according to the state of the response signals;

wherein the available resources include resources corresponding to a primary component carrier and resources allocated to the secondary component carrier by the base station; and,

wherein the mapping relation includes cases in which the resource corresponding to the response signal that is NACK/DTX is not selected; where NACK represents Negative Acknowledgement, and DTX represents Discontinuous Transmission; and when the response signals are all DTX, no resource is selected.

2. A method used by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving downlink data transmitted by a base station via downlink component carriers including a secondary component carrier;

selecting uplink resources from available resources for transmitting response signals obtained by decoding the received downlink data and corresponding modulation symbols by using a mapping relation between a state of the response signals and the selected resources and the modulation symbols according to the state of the response signals; and

transmitting the response signals by using the selected uplink resources and the corresponding modulation symbols;

wherein the available resources include resources corresponding to a primary component carrier and resources allocated to the secondary component carrier by the base station; and,

wherein the mapping relation includes cases in which the resource corresponding to the response signal that is NACK/DTX is not selected; where NACK represents Negative Acknowledgement, and DTX represents Discontinuous Transmission; and when the response signals are all DTX, no resource is selected.
