Abstract

The present disclosure relates to: a communication technique for converging an IoT technology and a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transfer rate beyond a 4G system; and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to an intelligent service (for example, a smart home, a smart building, a smart city, a smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related service, etc.) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. The present invention relates to a method for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration information from a base station; and transmitting, to the base station, UCI in a PUCCH to which PUCCH format 1 has been applied on the basis of the PUCCH configuration information, wherein the PUCCH configuration information contains spreading code index information, and the spreading code index information is determined on the basis of the length of a spreading code to be applied to symbols through which the UCI is to be transmitted, among symbols through which the PUCCH is to be transmitted.

Claims (45)

1. A method of transmitting uplink control information (UCI) by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration information comprising spreading code index information; and

transmitting, to the base station, the UCI and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a PUCCH corresponding to PUCCH format 1, based on the spreading code index information,

wherein the spreading code index information is determined based on a minimum value among a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol for the UCI and a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol for the DMRS.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH configuration information further comprises information indicating whether frequency hopping is enabled or disabled,

wherein if frequency hopping is enabled, the spreading code index information is determined based on a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol in which UCI is transmitted in a first hop or a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol in which UCI is transmitted in a second hop, and

wherein if frequency hopping is disabled, the spreading code index information is determined based on a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol in which the UCI is transmitted.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein if frequency hopping is enabled, the spreading code index information is determined based on a smaller value of the length of spreading code to be applied to the symbol in which the UCI is transmitted in the first hop and the length of spreading code to be applied to the symbol in which the UCI is transmitted in the second hop.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving downlink control information (DCI) from the base station,

wherein the DCI comprises information indicating a PUCCH resource, and

wherein the UCI is transmitted through the PUCCH resource.

5. A method of receiving uplink control information (UCI) by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration information comprising spreading code index information; and

receiving, from the terminal, the UCI and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a PUCCH corresponding to PUCCH format 1, based on the spreading code index information,

wherein the spreading code index information is determined based on a minimum value among a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol for the UCI and a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol for the DMRS.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the PUCCH configuration information further comprises information indicating whether frequency hopping is enabled or disabled,

wherein if frequency hopping is enabled, the spreading code index information is determined based on a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol in which UCI is transmitted in a first hop or a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol in which UCI is transmitted in a second hop, and

wherein if frequency hopping is disabled, the spreading code index information is determined based on a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol in which the UCI is transmitted.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein if frequency hopping is enabled, the spreading code index information is determined based on a smaller value of the length of spreading code to be applied to the symbol in which the UCI is transmitted in the first hop and the length of spreading code to be applied to the symbol in which the UCI is transmitted in the second hop.

8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising transmitting downlink control information (DCI) to the terminal,

wherein the DCI comprises information indicating a PUCCH resource, and

wherein the UCI is transmitted through the PUCCH resource.

9. A terminal for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller connected to the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration information comprising spreading code index information, and

transmit, to the base station, the UCI and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a PUCCH corresponding to PUCCH format 1, based on the spreading code index information,

wherein the spreading code index information is determined based on a minimum value among a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol for the UCI and a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol for the DMRS.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the PUCCH configuration information further comprises information indicating whether frequency hopping is enabled or disabled,

wherein if frequency hopping is enabled, the spreading code index information is determined based on a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol in which UCI is transmitted in a first hop or a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol in which UCI is transmitted in a second hop, and

wherein if frequency hopping is disabled, the spreading code index information is determined based on a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol in which the UCI is transmitted.

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein if frequency hopping is enabled, the spreading code index information is determined based on a smaller value of the length of spreading code to be applied to the symbol in which the UCI is transmitted in the first hop and the length of spreading code to be applied to the symbol in which the UCI is transmitted in the second hop.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller further performs control so as to receive downlink control information (DCI) from the base station,

wherein the DCI comprises information indicating a PUCCH resource, and

wherein the UCI is transmitted through the PUCCH resource.

13. A base station for receiving uplink control information (UCI) in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller connected to the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration information comprising spreading code index information, and

receive, from the terminal, the UCI and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a PUCCH corresponding to PUCCH format 1, based on the spreading code index information,

wherein the spreading code index information is determined based on a minimum value among a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol for the UCI and a length of spreading code to be applied to a symbol for the DMRS.
