Method and apparatus for transmitting uplink control information in a wireless communication system
A method and an apparatus for transmitting uplink control information (UCI), performed by a user equipment, in a wireless communication system are provided. The method comprising: generating encoded information bits by performing channel coding on information bits of the UCI; generating a modulation symbol sequence by modulating the encoded information bits; generating a spread sequence by block-wise spreading on the modulation symbol sequences with an orthogonal sequence; and transmitting the spread sequence to a base station through an uplink control channel, wherein the information bits of the UCI comprises a first UCI bit sequence and a second UCI information bit.
1. A method for transmitting uplink control information (UCI), performed by a user equipment, in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
generating a spread sequence by block-wise spreading of modulation symbol sequences with an orthogonal sequence; and
transmitting the spread sequence to a base station through an uplink control channel in a subframe,
wherein the modulation symbol sequences are generated by modulating encoded information bits and the encoded information bits are generated by performing channel coding on information bits of the UCI,
wherein when the subframe is configured for transmission of a scheduling request (SR) and when transmission of a hybrid automatic repeat request(HARQ)-acknowledgement(ACK) coincides with the subframe, the information bits of the UCI comprise concatenation of HARQ-ACK information bits for each of serving cells and a SR information bit,
wherein the SR information bit is appended to the end of the concatenated HARQ-ACK information bits, and
wherein transmission power of the uplink control channel is determined based on a bit number of the HARQ-ACK information bits and a value determined by whether or not the subframe is configured for a scheduling request.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the spread sequence includes a sequence generated by multiplying some modulation symbols of the modulation symbol sequence by an element of the orthogonal sequence.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SR information bit is one bit.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the spread sequence is transmitted to the base station through 1 st , 3 rd , 4 th , 5 th , and 7 th single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbols in a slot consisting of 7 SC-FDMA symbols.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a reference signal is transmitted in 2 nd and 6 th SC-FDMA symbols in the slot.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the spread sequence is transmitted via a primary cell in which the user equipment performs an initial connection establishment procedure or a connection re-establishment procedure with respect to the base station.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modulation symbol sequence is generated by performing quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) on the encoded information bits.

a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting or receiving a radio signal; and

transmitting the spread sequence to a base station through an uplink control channel in a subframe,
wherein the modulation symbol sequences are generated by modulating encoded information bits and the encoded information bits are generated by performing channel coding on information bits of the UCI and
wherein when the subframe is configured for transmission of a scheduling request (SR) and when transmission of a hybrid automatic repeat request(HARQ)-acknowledgement(ACK) coincides with the subframe,
the information bits of the UCI comprise concatenation of HARQ-ACK information bits for each of serving cells and a SR information bit, and wherein the SR information bit is appended to the end of the concatenated HARQ-ACK information bits, and
wherein transmission power of the uplink control channel is determined based on a bit number of the HARQ-ACK information bits and a value determined by whether the subframe is configured for a scheduling request or not.
