Abstract

The disclosure provides a method for scheduling an uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a next generation/5G wireless access network. The method of a terminal for scheduling a PUCCH may include: receiving, from a base station, timing relationship setting information between a downlink data channel (PDSCH) and a PUCCH; and scheduling the PUCCH on the basis of the timing relationship setting information.

Claims (32)

1. An operation method of a user equipment, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) including timing relationship configuration information between a downlink (DL) and an uplink (UL) for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) feedback; and

transmitting, to the base station, uplink control information via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a slot based on the timing relationship configuration information,

wherein the uplink control information includes HARQ ACK/NACK feedback information with respect to a downlink data via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and

wherein at least one, among plural subcarrier spacings (SCSs) including a first SCS for the DL and a second SCS for the UL, is selected as a reference.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the timing relationship configuration information is configured in a slot unit based on the second SCS for the UL.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a reference slot for the timing relationship configuration information is determined to be a slot that overlaps with a slot used for the DL.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, if a plurality of slots overlap with a slot used for the DL, a reference slot for the timing relationship configuration information is determined to be a last slot among the plurality of slots.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the timing relationship configuration information is received from the base station through high layer signaling.

6. A base station comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a controller which controls the receiver and the transmitter to:

determine timing relationship configuration information between a downlink (DL) and an uplink (UL) for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) feedback;

transmit, via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) including the timing relationship configuration information to a user equipment; and

receive, from the user equipment, uplink control information via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a slot based on the timing relationship configuration information,

wherein the uplink control information includes HARQ ACK/NACK feedback information, with respect to a downlink data via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and

wherein at least one, among plural subcarrier spacings (SCSs) including a first SCS for the DL and a second SCS for the UL, is selected as a reference.

7. The base station according to claim 6 , wherein the timing relationship configuration information is configured in a slot unit based on the second SCS for the UL.

8. The base station according to claim 6 , wherein a reference slot for the timing relationship configuration information is determined to be a slot that overlaps with a slot used for the DL.

9. A user equipment comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a controller which controls the receiver and the transmitter to:

receive, from a base station via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) including timing relationship configuration information between a downlink (DL) and an uplink (UL) for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) feedback; and

transmit, to the base station, uplink control information via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a slot based on the timing relationship configuration information,

wherein the uplink control information includes HARQ ACK/NACK feedback information with respect to a downlink data via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and

wherein at least one, among plural subcarrier spacings (SCSs) including a first SCS for the DL and a second SCS for the UL, is selected as a reference.

10. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the timing relationship configuration information is configured in a slot unit based on the second SCS for the UL.

11. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein a reference slot for the timing relationship configuration information is determined to be a slot that overlaps with a slot used for the DL.

12. The user equipment according to claim 9 , if a plurality of slots overlap with a slot used for the DL, a reference slot for the timing relationship configuration information is determined to be a last slot among the plurality of slots.

13. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the timing relationship configuration information is received from the base station through high layer signaling.
