Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, more specifically to a method for transmitting control information and a device therefor. The wireless communication system can support carrier aggregation. The present invention relates to a method for transmitting information from a terminal to a base station in a wireless communication system, which includes a step for receiving first information for cross carrier scheduling through at least one primary cell among serving cells formed in a terminal from the base station, and a step for transmitting second information about a secondary cell related to at least one first information among serving cells to the base station through an uplink resource of the primary cell.

Claims (34)

1. A method for transmitting information to a Base Station (BS) at a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving first information for cross carrier scheduling from the BS in a downlink primary cell among at least one serving cell configured for the UE, wherein the first information indicates an uplink transmission of the UE in an uplink secondary cell among the at least one serving cell; and

transmitting second information about the uplink secondary cell among the at least one serving cell to the BS in an uplink primary cell.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second information includes at least one of information indicating whether a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) is transmitted in the uplink secondary cell, information about a starting time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell, and information about an ending time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the ending time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell is after a predetermined period for the PUSCH transmission from the starting time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the ending time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell is a subframe boundary or a slot boundary of the uplink primary cell, closest to the starting time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink primary cell includes a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) and a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH).

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second information is one bit, and

wherein if the second information indicates 0, the second information indicates no Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmission in the uplink secondary cell and if the second information indicates 1, the second information indicates that the PUSCH transmission is scheduled in the uplink secondary cell, starting from the starting time of a corresponding slot.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second information is two bits, and

wherein the second information indicates whether a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmission is scheduled in the uplink secondary cell, a starting time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell, and an ending time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell, respectively specified by a combination of the two bits.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising transmitting state information about the uplink secondary cell to the BS,

wherein the state information includes the second information.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the state information indicates that a result of carrier sensing of the uplink secondary cell is kept busy for a predetermined time or longer.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink secondary cell is on unlicensed bands.

11. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

performing carrier sensing to detect the uplink secondary cell.

12. A User Equipment (UE) for transmitting information to a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a processor;

a reception module configured to receive first information for cross carrier scheduling from the BS in a downlink primary cell among at least one serving cell configured for the UE, wherein the first information indicates an uplink transmission of the UE in an uplink secondary cell among the at least one serving cell; and

a transmission module configured to transmit second information about the uplink secondary cell among the at least one serving cell to the BS in an uplink primary cell.

13. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the second information includes at least one of information indicating whether a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) is transmitted in the uplink secondary cell, information about a starting time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell, and information about an ending time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell.

14. The UE according to claim 13 , wherein the ending time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell is after a predetermined period for the PUSCH transmission from the starting time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell.

15. The UE according to claim 13 , wherein the ending time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell is a subframe boundary or a slot boundary of the uplink primary cell, closest to the starting time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell.

16. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the uplink primary cell includes a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) and a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH).

17. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the second information is one bit, and

wherein if the second information indicates 0, the second information indicates no Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmission in the uplink secondary cell and if the second information indicates 1, the second information indicates that the PUSCH transmission is scheduled in the uplink secondary cell, starting from the starting time of a corresponding slot.

18. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the second information is two bits, and

wherein the second information indicates whether a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmission is scheduled in the uplink secondary cell, a starting time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell, and an ending time of the PUSCH transmission in the uplink secondary cell, respectively specified by a combination of the two bits.

19. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to control transmission of state information about the uplink secondary cell to the BS through the transmission module, and

wherein the state information includes the second information.

20. The UE according to claim 19 , wherein the state information indicates that a result of carrier sensing of the uplink secondary cell is kept busy for a predetermined time or longer.

21. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the uplink secondary cell is on unlicensed bands.

22. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to performing carrier sensing to detect the uplink secondary cell.
