Method for transmitting control information in wireless communication system and apparatus therefor
A method is provided for generating Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information at a user equipment in a wireless communication system. The user equipment receives a plurality of codewords corresponding to data blocks through a plurality of downlink carriers from a base station, wherein each of the plurality of downlink carriers carries one or more codewords. The user equipment generates the ACK/NACK information by concatenating ACK/NACK bits corresponding to the plurality of codewords. When a corresponding downlink carrier carries two or more codewords, the ACK/NACK bits corresponding to the two or more codewords associated with the corresponding downlink carrier are concatenated in accordance with an index order of a corresponding data block. The ACK/NACK bits concatenated in accordance with the index order of the corresponding data block associated with each of the downlink carriers are concatenated again in accordance with an index order of a corresponding downlink carrier.
1. A method for generating Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information at a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a plurality of codewords corresponding to data blocks through a plurality of downlink carriers from a base station, wherein each of the plurality of downlink carriers carries one or more codewords; and
generating the ACK/NACK information by concatenating ACK/NACK bits corresponding to the plurality of codewords,
wherein when a corresponding downlink carrier supports two or more codewords, the ACK/NACK bits corresponding to the two or more codewords supported by the corresponding downlink carrier are concatenated in accordance with an index order of a corresponding data block, and
wherein the ACK/NACK bits concatenated in accordance with the index order of the corresponding data block associated with each of the downlink carriers are concatenated again in accordance with an index order of a corresponding downlink carrier.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting the ACK/NACK information through one uplink carrier to the base station.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the ACK/NACK information is transmitted through a physical uplink control channel of the one uplink carrier.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of codewords received through each of the plurality of downlink carriers depends on a transmission mode for each of the plurality of downlink carriers.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of codewords received through each of the plurality of downlink carriers is configured by a higher layer.
6. A user equipment comprising:
a receiving module configured to receive a plurality of codewords corresponding to data blocks through a plurality of downlink carriers from a base station, wherein each of the plurality of downlink carriers carries one or more codewords; and
a processor configured to generate Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information by concatenating ACK/NACK bits corresponding to the plurality of codewords,
wherein when a corresponding downlink carrier supports two or more codewords, the ACK/NACK bits corresponding to the two or more codewords supported by the corresponding downlink carrier are concatenated in accordance with an index order of a corresponding data block, and
wherein the ACK/NACK bits concatenated in accordance with the index order of the corresponding data block associated with each of the downlink carriers are concatenated again in accordance with an index order of a corresponding downlink carrier.
7. The user equipment of claim 6 , further comprising:
a transmitting module configured to transmit the ACK/NACK information through one uplink carrier to the base station.
8. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein the ACK/NACK information is transmitted through a physical uplink control channel of the one uplink carrier.
9. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein a number of codewords received through each of the plurality of downlink carriers depends on a transmission mode for each of the plurality of downlink carriers.
10. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein a number of codewords received through each of the plurality of downlink carriers is configured by a higher layer.
