Abstract

A method of transmitting a scheduling request (SR) for a user equipment (UE) for supporting a plurality of transmission time interval (TTI) lengths in a wireless communication system is performed by the UE and includes receiving downlink data, and transmitting hybrid automatic retransmission request-acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) in a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) with a first TTI length for transmitting HARQ-ACK corresponding to the downlink data when transmission timings of the first PUCCH and a second PUCCH for transmitting SR overlap with each other, wherein, when the first PUCCH includes a smaller number of symbols than the second PUCCH and the first PUCCH does not include an effective SR resource, the SR is not transmitted.

based on the second TTI-based PUCCH not coinciding with the second TTI-based SR transmission instance, not transmitting the SR on the second TTI-based PUCCH.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the state in which the first TTI-based PUCCH overlaps in time with the second TTI-based PUCCH and based on the second TTI-based PUCCH coinciding with the second TTI-based SR transmission instance, the SR is transmitted on the second TTI-based PUCCH.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SR comprises a request or a resource configuration request for uplink transmission that does not require uplink grant.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the SR is represented by a plurality of bits; and

wherein each state represented by the plurality of bits is linked with a hybrid-automatic-repeat-request (HARQ) process number associated with the uplink transmission.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the SR is represented by a plurality of bits; and

wherein a HARQ process number associated with the uplink transmission is determined according to a combination of the plurality of bits and a resource for transmitting the uplink transmission.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

in the state in which the first TTI-based PUCCH overlaps in time with the second TTI-based PUCCH and based on the second TTI-based PUCCH coinciding with the second TTI-based SR transmission instance:

bundling and mapping, to a state of a modulation symbol to be transmitted, two types of information of (i) the SR, (ii) HARQ acknowledgment/non-acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK/NACK), and (iii) a buffer state report (BSR).

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

in the state in which the first TTI-based PUCCH overlaps in time with the second TTI-based PUCCH and based on the second TTI-based PUCCH coinciding with the second TTI-based SR transmission instance:

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SR is for a specific service or a specific requirement, and

wherein a time interval or a time period of the second TTI-based SR transmission instance is shorter than a time interval or a time period of an SR transmission instance timing for general data traffic.

9. A terminal configured to transmit control information in a wireless communication system, the terminal supporting transmission time intervals (TTIs) of different lengths, the terminal comprising:

a receiver and a transmitter;

at least one processor; and
