Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for transmitting uplink control information performed by a user equipment in a wireless communication system. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a first parameter for indicating whether to simultaneously transmit a first combination of an acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) and a channel quality indicator (CQI), and a second parameter for indicating whether to multiplex a second combination of an ACK/NACK and the CQI and transmitting same as a second physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format; and multiplexing the first combination of the ACK/NACK or the second combination of ACK/NACK with the CQI and transmitting same as a first PUCCH format or the second PUCCH format, based on the first parameter and the second parameter.

Claims (33)

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

receiving a first parameter and a second parameter,

wherein the first parameter indicates whether simultaneous transmission of a channel quality indicator (CQI) and a first combination of acknowledgment/no-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information is allowed, and the

second parameter indicates whether the user equipment performs simultaneous transmission of the CQI and a second combination of ACK/NACK information multiplexing on a second physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format; and

transmitting the second combination of the ACK/NACK information with the CQI through the second PUCCH format based on the first parameter and the second parameter, wherein the first combination of the ACK/NACK information with the CQI is transmitted through a first PUCCH format based on the first parameter,

wherein if the second parameter has a value of TRUE and one resource is determined by a specific field of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) among four resources configured in advance by a radio resource control (RRC) message, the CQI and the second combination of ACK/NACK information are multiplexed to be transmitted through the second PUCCH format.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first parameter and the second parameter is received through a radio resource control (RRC) message and has a value of TRUE or FALSE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein maximum 2-bit ACK/NACK information is transmitted through the first PUCCH format and maximum 22-bit ACK/NACK information is transmitted through the second PUCCH format.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second parameter is included in a radio resource control (RRC) message only when the second combination of ACK/NACK information is pre-configured to be transmitted by using the second PUCCH format.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

when the wireless communication system is a frequency division duplex (FDD) system, the first combination of ACK/NACK information is an ACK/NACK for

a case in which one physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) exists only in a primary cell in which the user equipment performs an initial connection establishment procedure or a connection reestablishment procedure with a base station and is scheduled without a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH),

a case in which one PDSCH exits only in the primary cell and is scheduled by a PDCCH, or

a case in which one PDCCH exists only in the primary cell and an ACK/NACK response is required.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

when the wireless communication system is a time division duplex (TDD) system, the first combination of ACK/NACK information is an ACK/NACK for:

i) a case in which when a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled without a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) exists only in a primary cell in which the user equipment performs an initial connection establishment procedure or a connection reestablishment procedure with a base station and there is no PDCCH requiring an ACK/NACK response,

ii) a case in which one PDSCH scheduled by a PDCCH in which a downlink assignment index (DAI) is 1 exists only in a primary cell, or

iii) a case in which one PDCCH, requiring an ACK/NACK response, in which a downlink assignment index is 1 exists and there is no PDSCH.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second PUCCH format is transmitted by using one resource, indicated by a specific field of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), among four resources configured in advance by a radio resource control (RRC) message.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CQI is configured to be periodically transmitted.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second PUCCH format is PUCCH format 3.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

when the first parameter indicates that a simultaneous transmission of the CQI and the first combination of ACK/NACK information is not allowed and the second parameter indicates that the user equipment shall perform simultaneous transmission of the CQI and the second combination of ACK/NACK information multiplexing on the second PUCCH format,

the CQI and the second combination of ACK/NACK information are simultaneously transmitted through the second PUCCH format.

11. User equipment, comprising:

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

a processor connected with the RF unit,

wherein the processors is configured to:

receive a first parameter and a second parameter,

wherein the first parameter indicates whether simultaneous transmission of a channel quality indicator (CQI) and a first combination of acknowledgment/no-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information is allowed, and the second parameter indicates whether the user equipment performs simultaneous transmission of the CQI and a second combination of ACK/NACK information multiplexing on a second physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format, and

transmit the second combination of the ACK/NACK information with the CQI through the second PUCCH format based on the first parameter and the second parameter, wherein the first combination of the ACK/NACK information with the CQI is transmitted through a first PUCCH format based on the first parameter,

wherein if the second parameter has a value of TRUE and one resource is determined by a specific field of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) among four resources configured in advance by a radio resource control (RRC) message, the CQI and the second combination of ACK/NACK information are multiplexed to be transmitted through the second PUCCH format.
