Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a device for transmitting uplink control information in a wireless communication system supporting carrier merging of a plurality of cells comprising a first cell and a second cell, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a first uplink grant from a base station by means of a random access response; the first uplink grant scheduling first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission on a first cell and receiving a second uplink grant from the base station by means of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH); and the second uplink grant scheduling a second PUSCH transmission on a second cell and, if the first PUSCH transmission and the second PUSCH transmission are configured in the same subframe, transmitting uplink control information to the base station on the second cell by means of a second PUSCH, wherein the first PUSCH transmission scheduled on the first cell is dropped.

Claims (33)

1. A method for transmitting uplink control information by a user equipment in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation of a plurality of cells containing a first cell and a second cell, the method comprising:

receiving a random access response via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from a base station,

wherein the random access response schedules a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission on the first cell;

receiving downlink control information via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from the base station,

wherein the downlink control information schedules a second PUSCH transmission on the second cell; and

when the first PUSCH transmission and the second PUSCH transmission are configured in a same subframe, transmitting the uplink control information to the base station on the second cell via the second PUSCH,

wherein the first PUSCH transmission scheduled on the first cell is dropped.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein when a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission is configured in the subframe, a rate-matching is applied to the second PUSCH.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink control information comprises channel state information (CSI), and the CSI comprises at least one of channel quality indication information, precoding matrix indication information, or rank indication information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein when a hybrid automatic repeat and request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) transmission is configured in the subframe and a simultaneous transmission of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and PUSCH is not configured in the subframe, the HARQ-ACK is transmitted via the second PUSCH, and

wherein when the HARQ-ACK transmission is configured in the subframe and the simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is configured in the subframe, the HARQ-ACK is transmitted via a PUCCH on the first cell.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the random access response is received in response to a random access preamble which is transmitted to the base station by the user equipment in a contention-based random access procedure.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of cells belong to a single timing advance group (TAG).

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a buffer status report (BSR) via the second PUSCH, the BSR indicating an uplink data buffer status of the user equipment.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first cell is a primary cell (Pcell) and the second cell is a secondary cell (Scell).

9. A user equipment configured to transmit uplink control information to a base station in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation of a plurality of cells containing a first cell and a second cell, the user equipment comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a processor operably connected to the transceiver and configured to:

control the transceiver to receive a random access response via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from a base station,

wherein the random access response schedules a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission on the first cell,

control the transceiver to receive downlink control information via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) from the base station,

wherein the downlink control information schedules a second PUSCH transmission on the second cell,

when the first PUSCH transmission and the second PUSCH transmission are configured in a same subframe, control the transceiver to transmit the uplink control information to the base station on the second cell via the second PUSCH,

wherein the first PUSCH transmission scheduled on the first cell is dropped.

10. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein when a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission is configured in the subframe, a rate-matching is applied to the second PUSCH.

11. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein the uplink control information comprises channel state information (CSI), and the CSI comprises at least one of channel quality indication information, precoding matrix indication information, or rank indication information.

12. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein if a hybrid automatic repeat and request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) transmission is configured in the subframe and a simultaneous transmission of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and PUSCH is not configured in the subframe, the HARQ-ACK is transmitted via the second PUSCH, and

when the HARQ-ACK transmission is configured in the subframe and the simultaneous transmission of PUCCH and PUSCH is configured in the subframe, the HARQ-ACK is transmitted via a PUCCH on the first cell.

13. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein the random access response is received in response to a random access preamble which is transmitted to the base station by the user equipment in a contention-based random access procedure.

14. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of cells belong to a single timing advance group (TAG).

15. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein a buffer status report (BSR) is transmitted via the second PUSCH, the BSR indicating an uplink data buffer status of the user equipment.

16. The user equipment of claim 9 , wherein the first cell is a primary cell (Pcell) and the second cell is a secondary cell (Scell).
