Method and apparatus of transmitting control information in wireless communication system
A method and an apparatus of transmitting control information in a wireless communication systema are provided. The method includes transmitting first control information and second control information through an uplink component carrier (UL CC), wherein the first control information is for a first downlink component carrier (DL CC), and the second control information is for a second DL CC.
1. A method of transmitting an acknowledgement (ACK)/negative acknowledgement (NACK) from a user equipment (UE) supporting carrier aggregation in a multiple carrier system, the method comprising:
receiving, by a UE, a first downlink (DL) channel on a first DL component carrier (CC) and a second DL channel on a second DL CC;
determining, by the UE, a single uplink (UL) CC used for transmitting feedback information for the first DL channel and the second DL channel via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); and
transmitting, by the UE to a base station (BS), an ACK/NACK feedback indicating both ACK/NACK information for the first DL channel and ACK/NACK information for the second DL channel on the single UL CC,
wherein the ACK/NACK feedback is transmitted both on a first PUCCH resource of a first antenna port and on a second PUCCH resource of a second antenna port, and
wherein the first antenna port and the second antenna port are configured for the UE.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ACK/NACK feedback includes a channel quality indicator (CQI) of at least one of the first DL channel and the second DL channel.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
receiving, from the BS, a periodicity of the CQI,
wherein the CQI is transmitted on the PUCCH periodically.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the resource used for the transmission of the PUCCH is determined by the BS.
5. A mobile station for transmitting an acknowledgement (ACK)/negative acknowledgement (NACK) in a multiple carrier system, comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to:
support carrier aggregation associated with a plurality of downlink (DL) component carriers (CCs); and
receive a first downlink (DL) channel on a first DL component carrier (CC) and a second DL channel on a second DL CC; and
a processor operably coupled with the RF unit and configured to:
determine a single uplink (UL) CC used for transmitting feedback information for a first DL channel and a second DL channel via a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); and
transmit, to a base station (BS), an ACK/NACK feedback indicating both ACK/NACK information for the first DL channel and ACK/NACK information for the second DL channel on the single UL CC,
wherein the ACK/NACK feedback is transmitted both on a first PUCCH resource of a first antenna port and on a second PUCCH resource of a second antenna port, and
wherein the first antenna port and the second antenna port are configured for the mobile station.
6. The mobile station of claim 5 , wherein the ACK/NACK feedback includes a channel quality indicator (CQI) of at least one of the first DL channel and the second DL channel.
7. The mobile station of claim 6 , wherein the RF unit is further configured to:
receive, from the BS, a periodicity of the CQI,
wherein the CQI is transmitted on the PUCCH periodically.
8. The mobile station of claim 7 , wherein the resource used for the transmission of the PUCCH is determined by the BS.
