Abstract

Disclosed are a method for transmitting uplink control information by a terminal in a wireless communication system and a device for supporting the same. More particularly, disclosed are a method for transmitting, by a terminal, uplink control information corresponding to downlink signals received from two base stations communicating with the terminal by different schemes when the two base stations are connected with the terminal by a dual connectivity method, and a device for supporting the same.

Claims (36)

1. A method for transmitting uplink control information by a user equipment in a wireless communication system comprising a first base station and a second base station connected to the first base station on a manner of dual connectivity, the method comprising:

receiving a first downlink signal from the first base station and a second downlink signal from the second base station; and

transmitting first uplink control information corresponding to the first downlink signal and second uplink control information corresponding to the second downlink signal using a carrier shared by the first base station and the second base station,

wherein the first uplink control information and the second uplink control information are transmitted through an identical Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein, based on a sum of bit sizes of the first uplink control information and the second uplink control information being less than or equal to 22 bits, the first uplink control information and the second uplink control information are transmitted based on PUCCH format 3 by applying Reed-Muller (RM) coding.

3. The method according to claim 2 ,

wherein an input bit stream of the PUCCH format 3 is configured by arranging the first uplink control information before or after the second uplink control information in a time domain.

4. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein, based on a sum of bit sizes of the first uplink control information and the second uplink control information being greater than 22 bits, the first uplink control information and the second uplink control information are transmitted by applying tail biting convolutional coding (TBCC).

5. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first base station is a New RAT (NR) base station and the second base station is a Long Term Evolution (LTE) base station.

6. The method according to claim 5 ,

wherein the NR base station operates in time division duplex (TDD), and

wherein the LTE base station operates in frequency division duplex (FDD).

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first base station is connected to the second base station through a non-ideal backhaul.

8. A user equipment configured to transmit uplink control information in a wireless communication system comprising a first base station and a second base station connected to the first base station on a manner of dual connectivity, the user equipment comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

a processor connected to the transmitter and the receiver to operate,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a first downlink signal from the first base station and a second downlink signal from the second base station; and

transmit first uplink control information corresponding to the first downlink signal and second uplink control information corresponding to the second downlink signal using a carrier shared by the first base station and the second base station,

wherein the first uplink control information and the second uplink control information are transmitted through an identical Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource.

9. The user equipment according to claim 8 ,

wherein, based on a sum of bit sizes of the first uplink control information and the second uplink control information being less than or equal to 22 bits, the first uplink control information and the second uplink control information are transmitted based on PUCCH format 3 by applying Reed-Muller (RM) coding.

10. The user equipment according to claim 9 ,

wherein an input bit stream of the PUCCH format 3 is configured by arranging the first uplink control information before or after the second uplink control information in a time domain.

11. The user equipment according to claim 8 ,

wherein, based on a sum of bit sizes of the first uplink control information and the second uplink control information being greater than 22 bits, the first uplink control information and the second uplink control information are transmitted by applying tail biting convolutional coding (TBCC).

12. The user equipment according to claim 8 ,

wherein the first base station is a New RAT (NR) base station and the second base station is a Long Term Evolution (LTE) base station.

13. The user equipment according to claim 12 ,

wherein the NR base station operates in time division duplex (TDD), and

wherein the LTE base station operates in frequency division duplex (FDD).

14. The user equipment according to claim 8 , wherein the first base station is connected to the second base station through a non-ideal backhaul.
