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 (46)

1. A method for transmitting control information by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) each carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a downlink assignment index (DAI) related to downlink (DL) scheduling;

performing, in one or more serving cells, a reception of each downlink data related to each of the one or more PDCCHs; and

transmitting an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response for the reception of each downlink data,

wherein a value of the DAI denotes an accumulated number that is counted for each pair of {each serving cell related to each downlink data, each PDCCH monitoring timing related to each DL scheduling}.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value of the DAI denotes the accumulated number that is counted, up to a current PDCCH monitoring timing where a corresponding PDCCH is present.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving second DCI for scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH),

wherein the ACK/NACK response is transmitted through the PUSCH scheduled by the second DCI, and the ACK/NACK response is generated based on a second DAI included in the second DCI.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a maximum number of serving cells supported by the UE is greater than 5.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control information is generated based on a semi-statically configured maximum number of downlink data which can be scheduled by each DCI for DL scheduling.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for performing the method of claim 1 .

7. A device for wireless communication, the device comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions, the operations comprising:

receiving one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) each carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a downlink assignment index (DAI) related to downlink (DL) scheduling;

performing, in one or more serving cells, a reception of each downlink data related to each of the one or more PDCCHs; and

transmitting an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response for the reception of each downlink data,

wherein a value of the DAI denotes an accumulated number that is counted for each pair of {each serving cell related to each downlink data, each PDCCH monitoring timing related to each DL scheduling}.

8. The device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a transceiver and

wherein the device is a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system.

9. The device of claim 7 , wherein the device is an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a digital signal processing device configured to control a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system.

10. A method for receiving control information by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) each carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a downlink assignment index (DAI) related to downlink (DL) scheduling;

performing, in one or more serving cells, a transmission of each downlink data related to each of the one or more PDCCHs; and

receiving an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response for the transmission of each downlink data,

wherein a value of the DAI denotes an accumulated number that is counted for each pair of {each serving cell related to each downlink data, each PDCCH transmission timing related to each DL scheduling}.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the value of the DAI denotes the accumulated number that is counted, up to a current PDCCH transmission timing where a corresponding PDCCH is present.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

transmitting second DCI for scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH),

wherein the ACK/NACK response is received through the PUSCH scheduled by the second DCI, and the ACK/NACK response is obtained based on a second DAI included in the second DCI.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein a maximum number of serving cells supported by the BS is greater than 5.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the control information is obtained based on a semi-statically configured maximum number of downlink data which can be scheduled by each DCI for DL scheduling.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for performing the method of claim 10 .

16. A device for wireless communication, the device comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions, the operations comprising:

transmitting one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) each carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a downlink assignment index (DAI) related to downlink (DL) scheduling;

performing, in one or more serving cells, a transmission of each downlink data related to each of the one or more PDCCHs; and

receiving an acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) response for the transmission of each downlink data,

wherein a value of the DAI denotes an accumulated number that is counted for each pair of {each serving cell related to each downlink data, each PDCCH transmission timing related to each DL scheduling}.

17. The device of claim 16 , further comprising:

a transceiver and

wherein the device is a base station (BS) configured to operate in a wireless communication system.

18. The device of claim 16 , wherein the device is an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a digital signal processing device configured to control a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system.
