Uplink transmission in carrier aggregation environment
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method of uplink transmission, in which a user equipment transmits a signal in uplink in a wireless communication system. The present invention includes switching an uplink transmission mode used in transmitting the signal to a base station to either a first transmission mode or a second transmission mode, generating a plurality of signals to transmit to the base station via a plurality of component carriers (CCs), and transmitting a plurality of the signals to the base station according to the switched uplink transmission mode, wherein the first transmission mode allows multi-carrier characteristics for the signal transmitted via a plurality of the component carriers and wherein the second transmission mode requests single carrier characteristics for the signals transmitted via a plurality of the component carriers.
1. A method of controlling uplink transmission by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
configuring a transmission mode for a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) as one of a SU-MIMO (Single User Multiple Input Multiple Output) mode and a Non-SU-MIMO mode; and
performing a procedure for UCI (Uplink Control Information) transmission at a subframe, wherein the UCI needs to be transmitted at the subframe,
wherein, if the SU MIMO mode is configured and if there is allocation of a PUSCH at the subframe, transmission of the UCI is dropped at the subframe, and
wherein, if the Non-SU-MIMO mode is configured and if there is allocation of a PUSCH at the subframe, the UCI is transmitted via the PUSCH at the subframe.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, if the SU-MIMO mode is configured and if there is allocation of the PUSCH at the subframe, the PUSCH is transmitted at the subframe and carries a plurality of layers for data.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein, if the Non-SU-MIMO mode is configured and if there is allocation of the PUSCH at the subframe, the UCI is multiplexed with data and transmitted via the PUSCH at the subframe.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user equipment is configured so as to allow a transmission of only one physical uplink channel over a set of component carriers.
5. A user equipment configured to control uplink transmission in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:
a radio frequency unit; and
a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
configure a transmission mode for a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) as one of a SU-MIMO (Single User Multiple Input Multiple Output) mode and a Non-SU-MIMO mode, and
perform a procedure for UCI (Uplink Control Information) transmission at a subframe, wherein the UCI needs to be transmitted at the subframe,
wherein, if the SU-MIMO mode is configured and if there is allocation of a PUSCH at the subframe, transmission of the UCI is dropped at the subframe, and
wherein, if the Non-SU-MIMO mode is configured and if there is allocation of a PUSCH at the subframe, the UCI is transmitted via the PUSCH at the subframe.
6. The user equipment of claim 5 , wherein, if the SU-MIMO mode is configured and if there is allocation of the PUSCH at the subframe, the PUSCH is transmitted at the subframe and carries a plurality of layers for data.
7. The user equipment of claim 5 , wherein, if the Non-SU-MIMO mode is configured and if there is allocation of the PUSCH at the subframe, the UCI is multiplexed with data and transmitted via the PUSCH at the subframe.
8. The user equipment of claim 5 , wherein the user equipment is configured so as to allow a transmission of only one physical uplink channel over a set of component carriers.
