Abstract

Provided is a method for a terminal for transmitting uplink control data. The method includes receiving, from a base station, at least one of UL control channel resource set configuration information and UL control channel transmission information, configuring an UL control channel including the UL control information based on at least one of the UL control channel resource set configuration information and the UL control channel transmission information, and transmitting the UL control channel to the base station. The UL control channel is configured with one or more UL control channel formats based on the number of symbols that configure the UL control channel.

Claims (56)

1. A method for a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a high layer signaling including physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource information,

wherein the PUCCH resource information in the high layer signaling includes both PUCCH format information and also transmission type information,

wherein the PUCCH format information includes one or more of plural PUCCH formats,

wherein at least two PUCCH formats of the plural PUCCH formats are classified based on a number of symbols, which are used for a PUCCH format, in a single slot,

wherein the at least two PUCCH formats includes a first PUCCH format using one or two symbols and a second PUCCH format using four or more symbols,

wherein for at least one PUCCH format, at least one PUCCH resource is configured, and

wherein the at least one PUCCH resource includes one or more physical resource blocks (PRBs); and

transmitting, to the base station, a PUCCH including uplink control information (UCI) using at least one PUCCH format, based on the PUCCH resource information,

wherein based on a situation where both the first PUCCH format using one or two symbols and the second PUCCH format using four or more symbols are configured to be transmitted in a slot, only the second PUCCH format is used, in the slot, for transmitting the PUCCH based on a type of the UCI.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH resource information includes PRB allocation information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the transmission type information in the higher layer signaling includes information on whether frequency hopping is performed.

4. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the plural PUCCH formats are classified based on whether one or two symbols are to be used or whether four or more symbols are to be used.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH resource information includes priority information for the plural PUCCH formats.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UCI includes one or more among a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK)/negative-acknowledgement (NACK), channel state information (CSI) and a scheduling request (SR).

7. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the number of symbols is not less than one (1) in the single slot.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two PUCCH formats are classified based on a payload size of the UCI.

9. A method for a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting a high layer signaling including physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource information,

wherein the PUCCH resource information in the high layer signaling includes both PUCCH format information and also transmission type information,

wherein the PUCCH format information includes one or more of plural PUCCH formats,

wherein at least two PUCCH formats of the plural PUCCH formats are classified based on a number of symbols, which are used for a PUCCH format, in a single slot,

wherein the at least two PUCCH formats includes a first PUCCH format using one or two symbols and a second PUCCH format using four or more symbols,

wherein for at least one PUCCH format, at least one PUCCH resource is configured, and

wherein the at least one PUCCH resource includes one or more physical resource blocks (PRBs); and

receiving a PUCCH including uplink control information (UCI) using at least one PUCCH format, based on the PUCCH resource information,

wherein based on a situation where both the first PUCCH format using one or two symbols and the second PUCCH format using four or more symbols are configured to be transmitted in a slot, only the second PUCCH format is used, in the slot, for transmitting the PUCCH based on a type of the UCI.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the PUCCH resource information includes PRB allocation information, and

wherein the transmission type information in the higher layer signaling includes information about whether frequency hopping is performed.

11. The method according to claim 9 ,

wherein the plural PUCCH formats are classified based on whether one or two symbols are to be used or whether four or more symbols are to be used.

12. The method according to claim 9 ,

wherein the number of symbols is not less than one (1) in the single slot.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the at least two PUCCH formats are classified based on a payload size of the UCI.

14. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting uplink (UL) control information, the user equipment comprising:

a controller;

a receiver operatively connected to the controller and configured to receive, from a base station, a high layer signaling including physical uplink control channel resource (PUCCH) resource information,

wherein the PUCCH resource information in the high layer signaling includes both PUCCH format information and also transmission type information,

wherein the PUCCH format information includes one or more of plural PUCCH formats,

wherein at least two PUCCH formats of the plural PUCCH formats are classified based on a number of symbols, which are used for a PUCCH format, in a single slot,

wherein the at least two PUCCH formats includes a first PUCCH format using one or two symbols and a second PUCCH format using four or more symbols,

wherein for at least one PUCCH format, at least one PUCCH resource is configured, and

wherein the at least one PUCCH resource includes one or more physical resource blocks (PRBs); and

a transmitter operatively connected to the controller and configured to transmit, to the base station, a PUCCH including uplink control information (UCI) using at least one PUCCH format, based on the PUCCH resource information,

wherein based on a situation where both the first PUCCH format using one or two symbols and the second PUCCH format using four or more symbols are configured to be transmitted in a slot, only the second PUCCH format is used, in the slot, for transmitting the PUCCH based on a type of the UCI.

15. The user equipment according to claim 14 , wherein the PUCCH resource information includes PRB allocation information.

16. The user equipment according to claim 14 ,

wherein the PUCCH resource information includes PRB allocation information, and

wherein the transmission type information in the higher layer signaling includes information on whether frequency hopping is performed.

17. The user equipment according to claim 14 ,

wherein the plural PUCCH formats are classified based on whether one or two symbols are to be used or whether four or more symbols are to be used.

18. The user equipment according to claim 14 ,

wherein the number of symbols is not less than one (1) in the single slot.

19. The user equipment according to claim 14 , wherein the at least two PUCCH formats are classified based on a payload size of the UCI.
