Abstract

A method of transmitting data in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment receives an antenna group selection indicator indicating an antenna group comprising two or more activated transmit antennas among a plurality of transmit antennas, selects a transmit antenna to be activated according to the antenna group selection indicator, and transmits the data by supplying power to a power amplifier corresponding to the selected transmit antenna, wherein the number of power amplifiers is less than the number of transmit antennas and a type of the antenna group is determined according to the number of the power amplifiers. Accordingly, information on an antenna group in use among a plurality of antennas can be effectively transmitted.

Claims (22)

1. A method of transmitting control information, performed by a base station, in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

generating downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling of a physical uplink shared channel;

attaching a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for error detection to the DCI;

scrambling the CRC with an antenna group selection indicator indicating an antenna group comprising two or more activated transmit antennas among a plurality of transmit antennas;

transmitting the DCI and the scrambled CRC to a user equipment (UE) using a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH); and

receiving data, from the UE, transmitted through the transmit antennas included in the antenna group.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of transmit antennas included in the antenna group indicated by the antenna group selection indicator is same to the number of power amplifiers of the UE.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the number of the plurality of transmit antennas is larger than the number of the power amplifiers of the UE.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the number of the plurality of transmit antennas is 4.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the antenna group selection indicator indicates an antenna group comprising two activated transmit antennas among the 4 transmit antennas.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antenna group selection indicator indicates an antenna group among predetermined antenna groups.

7. A method of transmitting data, performed by a user equipment (UE), in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) which is scrambled with an antenna group selection indicator indicating an antenna group comprising two or more activated transmit antennas among a plurality of transmit antennas;

decoding the DCI;

selecting transmit antennas to be activated according to the antenna group selection indicator; and

transmitting data through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduled by the DCI,

wherein the transmit antennas used for the transmission of the PUSCH are indicated by the antenna group selection indicator.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the number of transmit antennas included in the antenna group indicated by the antenna group selection indicator is same to the number of power amplifiers of the UE.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the number of the plurality of transmit antennas is larger than the number of the power amplifiers of the UE.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the number of the plurality of transmit antennas is 4.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the antenna group selection indicator indicates an antenna group comprising two activated transmit antennas among the 4 transmit antennas.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the antenna group selection indicator indicates an antenna group among predetermined antenna groups.
