Abstract

A method for transmitting uplink control information and an apparatus therefor are disclosed. In a method for transmitting uplink control information using a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system, the method is performed by a terminal and includes receiving downlink control information including an accumulated number of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCH) transmissions associated with a cell group configured for the terminal, coding the uplink control information using the accumulated number of PDSCH transmissions, and transmitting the coded uplink control information using the PUSCH.

Claims (42)

1. A method for operating an apparatus in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling of a downlink data in a cell group that includes a plurality of cells, at a specific DCI timing within a set of plural DCI timings, the DCI including a downlink assignment index (DAI) value,

wherein the DAI value is related to an accumulated total number of DCIs that have been scheduled for the apparatus over the cell group from an initial DCI timing up to the specific DCI timing, and the specific DCI timing comprises one or more consecutive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a slot;

receiving the downlink data based on the DCI; and

transmitting control information including an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response about the downlink data, based on the DAI value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific DCI timing is after the initial DCI timing.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein another DCI for downlink scheduling is received in another DCI timing before the specific DCI timing within the set of plural DCI timings.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a size of the control information is related to the DAI value.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is received via a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), the downlink data is received via a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and the control information is transmitted via a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and

wherein the specific DCI timing within the set of plural DCI timings comprises: a specific PDCCH monitoring occasion within a set of plural PDCCH monitoring occasions.

6. An apparatus for use in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor configured to:

receive downlink control information (DCI) for downlink scheduling of a downlink data in a cell group that includes a plurality of cells, at a specific DCI timing within a set of plural DCI timings, the DCI including a downlink assignment index (DAI) value, wherein the DAI value is related to an accumulated total number of DCIS that have been scheduled for the apparatus over the cell group from an initial DCI timing up to the specific DCI timing, and the specific DCI timing comprises one or more consecutive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a slot,

receive the downlink data based on the DCI, and

transmit control information including an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response about the downlink data, based on the DAI value.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the specific DCI timing is after the initial DCI timing.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein another DCI for downlink scheduling is received in another DCI timing before the specific DCI timing within the set of plural DCI timings.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein a size of the control information is related to the DAI value.

10. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the DCI is received via a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), the downlink data is received via a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and the control information is transmitted via a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and

wherein the specific DCI timing within the set of plural DSI timings comprises: a specific PDCCH monitoring occasion within a set of plural PDCCH monitoring occasions.

11. A method for operating an apparatus in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting downlink control information (DCI) for downlink scheduling of a downlink data in a cell group that includes a plurality of cells, at a specific DCI timing within a set of plural DCI timings, the DCI including a downlink assignment index (DAI) value,

wherein the DAI value is related to an accumulated total number of DCIs that have been scheduled to a same apparatus over the cell group from an initial DCI timing up to the specific DCI timing, and the specific DCI timing comprises one or more consecutive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a slot;

transmitting the downlink data based on the DCI; and

receiving control information including an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response about the downlink data, based on the DAI value.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the specific DCI timing is after the initial DCI timing.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein another DCI for downlink scheduling is transmitted in another DCI timing before the specific DCI timing within the set of plural DCI timings.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein a size of the control information is related to the DAI value.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the DCI is transmitted via a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), the downlink data is transmitted via a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and the control information is received via a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and

wherein the specific DCI timing within the set of plural DCI timings comprises: a specific PDCCH monitoring occasion within a set of plural PDCCH monitoring occasions.

16. An apparatus for use in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor configured to:

transmit downlink control information (DCI) for downlink scheduling of a downlink data in a cell group that includes a plurality of cells, at a specific DCI timing within a set of plural DCI timings, the DCI including a downlink assignment index (DAI) value, wherein the DAI value is related to an accumulated total number of DCIS that have been scheduled to a same apparatus over the cell group from an initial DCI timing up to the specific DCI timing, and the specific DCI timing comprises one or more consecutive orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in a slot,

transmit the downlink data based on the DCI, and

receive control information including an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response about the downlink data, based on the DAI value.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the specific DCI timing is after the initial DCI timing.

18. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein another DCI for downlink scheduling is transmitted in another DCI timing before the specific DCI timing within the set of plural DCI timings.

19. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein a size of the control information is related to the DAI value.

20. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the DCI is transmitted via a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), the downlink data is transmitted via a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), and the control information is received via a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and

wherein the specific DCI timing within the set of plural DSI timings comprises: a specific PDCCH monitoring occasion within a set of plural PDCCH monitoring occasions.
