Abstract

A method and apparatus for transmitting control information are discussed. The method can include generating uplink control information (UCI) and transmitting the UCI through an physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a subframe, 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, transmission power of the PUCCH is determined based on a number of HARQ-ACK information bits and a SR bit. A value of the SR bit can be determined by whether or not the subframe is configured for a scheduling request.

Claims (27)

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

generating, by the UE, uplink control information (UCI); and

transmitting, by the UE to a base station, the UCI through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a subframe,

wherein, when the subframe is configured for transmission of a scheduling request (SR) and when transmission of a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) coincides with the subframe, transmission power of the PUCCH is determined based on a payload size of both the HARQ-ACK and the SR, and

wherein a payload size of the SR is one bit.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI comprises HARQ-ACK information bits and an SR bit.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI is generated by block-wise spreading of a symbol sequence with orthogonal sequences, and

wherein the symbol sequence is generated from encoded information bits and the encoded information bits are generated by performing channel coding on information bits.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the information bits comprise a concatenation of HARQ-ACK information bits for each of a plurality of serving cells and an SR bit, and

wherein the SR bit is appended to the end of the concatenated HARQ-ACK information bits.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the payload size of the HARQ-ACK and the SR is determined based on a number of HARQ-ACK information bits and an SR bit.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a value of the SR bit is determined based on whether or not the subframe is configured for the SR.

7. An apparatus for transmitting control information, the apparatus comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

a processor operably coupled to the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

generate uplink control information (UCI); and

transmit the UCI to a base station through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a subframe,

wherein, when the subframe is configured for transmission of a scheduling request (SR) and when transmission of a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) coincides with the subframe, transmission power of the PUCCH is determined based on a payload size of both the HARQ-ACK and the SR, and

wherein a payload size of the SR is one bit.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the UCI comprises HARQ-ACK information bits and an SR bit.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the UCI is generated by block-wise spreading of a symbol sequence with orthogonal sequences, and

wherein the symbol sequence is generated from encoded information bits and the encoded information bits are generated by performing channel coding on information bits.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the information bits comprise a concatenation of HARQ-ACK information bits for each of a plurality of serving cells and an SR bit, and

wherein the SR bit is appended to the end of the concatenated HARQ-ACK information bits.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the payload size of the HARQ-ACK and the SR is determined based on a number of HARQ-ACK information bits and an SR bit.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein a value of the SR bit is determined based on whether or not the subframe is configured for the SR.
