Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method and an apparatus for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation (CA), the method comprises receiving a downlink signal from a base station, determining the number of bits of HARQ-ACK information for cells configured for the UE on the basis of at least one of an uplink downlink assignment index (UL DAI), the number of downlink subframes, the number of the cells configured for the UE, which are acquired from the downlink signal, and a transmission mode, and transmitting an uplink subframe including the HARQ-ACK information for the cells.

Claims (42)

1. A method for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving higher layer signaling;

determining whether to apply the HARQ-ACK spatial bundling based on the higher layer signaling;

determining at least one HARQ-ACK information bit corresponding to downlink data received in at least one cell, based on the higher layer signaling; and

transmitting HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the determined at least one HARQ-ACK information bit,

wherein a total number of the at least one HARQ-ACK information bit is determined based on a total number of the at least one cell, and

wherein the higher layer signaling includes at least one of a first single bit and a second single bit,

wherein the first single bit indicates whether to apply HARQ-ACK spatial bundling to HARQ-ACK information to be transmitted on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), and

wherein the second single bit, different from the first single bit, indicates whether to apply HARQ-ACK spatial bundling to HARQ-ACK information to be transmitted on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the at least one HARQ-ACK information bit comprises:

when the HARQ-ACK spatial bundling is applied, determining a first number of HARQ-ACK information bits corresponding to downlink data received in at least one cell, and

when the HARQ-ACK spatial bundling is not applied, determining a second number of HARQ-ACK information bits corresponding to downlink data received in at least one cell.

3. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive a higher layer signaling;

determining whether to apply the HARQ-ACK spatial bundling based on the higher layer signaling;

determine at least one HARQ-ACK information bit corresponding to downlink data received in at least one cell, based on the higher layer signaling; and

transmit HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the determined at least one HARQ-ACK information bit,

wherein a total number of the at least one HARQ-ACK information bit is determined based on a total number of the at least one cell, and

wherein the higher layer signaling includes at least one of a first single bit and a second single bit,

wherein the first single bit indicates whether to apply the HARQ-ACK spatial bundling to HARQ-ACK information to be transmitted on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), and

wherein the second single bit, different from the first single bit, indicates whether to apply HARQ-ACK spatial bundling to HARQ-ACK information to be transmitted on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

when the HARQ-ACK spatial bundling is applied, determine a first number of HARQ-ACK information bits corresponding to downlink data received in at least one cell, and

when the HARQ-ACK spatial bundling is not applied, determine a second number of HARQ-ACK information bits corresponding to downlink data received in at least one cell.

5. A method for receiving hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a higher layer signaling; and

receiving, from the UE, HARQ-ACK information in response to downlink data of at least one cell,

wherein a total number of bits of the received HARQ-ACK information is determined based on information indicating that the HARQ-ACK spatial bundling is applied included in the higher layer signaling and a total number of the at least one cell, and

wherein the higher layer signaling includes at least one of a first single bit and a second single bit,

wherein the first single bit indicates whether to apply HARQ-ACK spatial bundling to HARQ-ACK information to be transmitted on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), and

wherein the second single bit, different from the first single bit, indicates whether to apply HARQ-ACK spatial bundling to HARQ-ACK information to be transmitted on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

6. A base station for receiving hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a higher layer signaling; and

receive HARQ-ACK information in response to downlink data of at least one cell,

wherein a total number of bits of the received HARQ-ACK information is determined based on information indicating that HARQ-ACK spatial bundling is applied included in the higher layer signaling and a total number of the at least one cell, and

wherein the higher layer signaling includes at least one of a first single bit and a second single bit,

wherein the first single bit indicates whether to apply HARQ-ACK spatial bundling to HARQ-ACK information to be transmitted on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), and

wherein the second single bit, different from the first single bit, indicates whether to apply HARQ-ACK spatial bundling to HARQ-ACK information to be transmitted on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
