Abstract

A method for transmitting uplink control information and an apparatus therefor are disclosed. In a method for transmitting uplink control information using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system, the method is performed by a terminal and includes receiving downlink control information including an accumulated number of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCH) transmissions associated with a cell group configured for the terminal, coding the uplink control information using the accumulated number of PDSCH transmissions, and transmitting the coded uplink control information using the PUSCH.

Claims (26)

1. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system that includes a base station (BS), the method comprising:

receiving, from the BS, downlink (DL) scheduling information (DSI) for a cell group that includes a plurality of cells, the DSI being for a specific DSI timing after an initial DSI timing and within a set of plural DSI timings of the cell group, the DSI including a downlink assignment index (DAI) value,

wherein the DAI value is related to an updated total number of DSIs that have been scheduled by the BS for two or more cells of the cell group from an initial DSI timing through the specific DSI timing;

receiving, from the BS, downlink data according to the DSI; and

transmitting, to the BS, control information, the control information including an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response about the downlink data,

wherein a payload size of the ACK/NACK response is related to the DAI value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific DSI timing comprises two or more subframes.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the payload size of the ACK/NACK response is related to the total number of DSIs indicated by the DAI value.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the DSI is received via a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), the downlink data is received via a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and the control information is transmitted via a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and

wherein the specific DSI timing within the predetermined set of plural DSI timings of the cell group comprises: a specific PDCCH monitoring occasion within a predetermined set of plural PDCCH monitoring occasions of the cell group, the specific PDCCH monitoring occasion comprising a timing for receipt for two or more PDCCH subframes.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the initial DSI timing includes an initial DSI via a corresponding DAI value.

6. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system that includes a base station (BS), the UE comprising:

a radio frequency receiver and a transmitter configured to receive and transmit signals; and

a processor configured to:

control the receiver to receive, from the BS, downlink (DL) scheduling information (DSI) for a cell group that includes a plurality of cells, the DSI being for a specific DSI timing after an initial DSI timing and within a set of plural DSI timings of the cell group, the DSI including a downlink assignment index (DAI) value,

wherein the DAI value is related to an updated total number of DSIs that have been scheduled by the BS for two or more cells of the cell group from an initial DSI timing through the specific DSI timing;

control the receiver to receive, from the BS, downlink data according to the DSI; and

control the transmitter to transmit, to the BS, control information, the control information including an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response about the downlink data,

wherein a payload size of the ACK/NACK response is related to the DAI value.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the specific DSI timing comprises two or more subframes.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the payload size of the ACK/NACK response is related to the total number of DSIs indicated by the DAI value.

9. The UE of claim 6 ,

wherein the DSI is received via a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), the downlink data is received via a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and the control information is transmitted via a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and

wherein the specific DSI timing within the predetermined set of plural DSI timings of the cell group comprises: a specific PDCCH monitoring occasion within a predetermined set of plural PDCCH monitoring occasions of the cell group, the specific PDCCH monitoring occasion comprising a timing for receipt for two or more PDCCH subframes.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the initial DSI timing includes an initial DSI via a corresponding DAI value.
