Abstract

Provided are a method of transmitting an uplink control information in a next-generation/5G radio access network. The method may include receiving uplink control channel resource set configuration information to transmit the uplink control information from a base station, determining one of uplink control channel resource sets contained in the uplink control channel resource set configuration information, determining one of uplink control channel resources configuring the determined uplink control channel resource set, and transmitting the uplink control information through the determined uplink control channel resource.

Claims (32)

1. A method of transmitting uplink (UL) control information by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, UL control channel resource set configuration information for UL control information transmission;

determining one of UL control channel resource sets contained in the received UL control channel resource set configuration information;

determining one of UL control channel resources contained in the determined UL control channel resource set; and

transmitting UL control information through the determined UL control channel resource,

wherein the determining of the one of the UL control channel resource sets is performed based on a size of the UL control information, and

wherein the UL control channel resource set configuration information is received through UE specific radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UL control channel resource sets are configured for each UL bandwidth part (BWP) configured for the UE.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the each UL BWP is activated through downlink (DL) control information.

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

receiving, from the base station, downlink (DL) control information containing information indicating the one of the UL control channel resources for the UL control information transmission,

wherein the one of the UL control channel resources is indicated from the base station through the DL control information.

5. A method of receiving uplink (UL) control information by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), UL control channel resource set configuration information for UL control information; and

receiving the UL control information through one of UL control channel resources in one of UL control channel resource sets contained in the transmitted UL control channel resource set configuration information,

wherein the one of the UL control channel resource sets for the UL control information transmission is determined based on a size of the UL control information, and

wherein the UL control channel resource set configuration information is transmitted through UE specific radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the UL control channel resource sets are configured for each UL bandwidth part (BWP) configured for the UE.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the each UL BWP is activated through downlink (DL) control information.

8. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the user equipment, downlink (DL) control information containing information that indicates the one of the UL control channel resources for the UL control information transmission,

wherein the one of the UL control channel resources is indicated to the UE through the DL control information.

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

a receiver configured to receive, from a base station, UL control channel resource set configuration information for UL control information transmission;

a controller configured to determine one of UL control channel resource sets contained in the received UL control channel resource set configuration information, and determine one of UL control channel resources configuring the determined one UL control channel resource set; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the UL control information through the determined UL control channel resource,

wherein the determining of the one of the UL control channel resource sets is performed based on a size of the UL control information, and

wherein the UL control channel resource set configuration information is received through UE specific radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

10. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein the UL control channel resource sets are configured for each UL bandwidth part (BWP) configured for the UE.

11. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the each UL BWP is activated through downlink (DL) control information.

12. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein the receiver receives, from the base station, DL control information containing information that indicates the one of the UL control channel resources for the UL control information transmission,

wherein the one of the UL control channel resources is indicated from the base station through the DL control information.
