Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for performing a LCP procedure in a carrier aggregation, the method comprising: configuring with a first cell group including at least one first cell and a second cell group including a least one second cell served by an eNB; receiving two priorities for a logical channel for a LCP procedure; receiving a UL grant from the first cell or the second cell; selecting a priority based on whether the UL grant is received from the first cell or the second cell; and performing a LCP procedure for the logical channel using the selected priority.

Claims (19)

1. A method for a User Equipment (UE) performing a Logical Channel Prioritization (LCP) procedure in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), configuration information including two priorities and two Prioritized Bit Rates (PBRs) for a logical channel for the LCP procedure,

configuring the two priorities and the two PBRs for the logical channel based on the configuration information:

receiving, from the BS, an uplink grant,

selecting a priority among the two priorities as a priority of the logical channel, wherein a higher priority is selected when the uplink grant is received from a first cell of a licensed band, and

wherein a lower priority is selected when the uplink grant is received from a second cell of an unlicensed band:

performing the LCP procedure for the logical channel based on the selected priority, wherein the two PBRs include a first PBR for the uplink grant received from the first cell of the licensed band and a second PBR for the uplink grant received from the second cell of the unlicensed band.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink grant received from the first cell of the licensed band is information for an amount of data that can be transmitted to the first cell of the licensed band, and the uplink grant received from the second cell of the unlicensed band is information for an amount of data that can be transmitted to the second cell of the unlicensed band.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) after performing the LCP procedure.

4. A User Equipment (UE) performing a Logical Channel Prioritization (LCP) procedure in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising: a Radio Frequency (RF) module; and a processor configured to:

control the RF module to receive, from a base station (BS), configuration information including two priorities and two Prioritized Bit Rates (PBRs) for a logical channel for the LCP procedure;

configure the two priorities and the two PBRs for the logical channel based on the configuration information;

control the RF module to receive, from the BS, an uplink grant;

select a priority among the two priorities as a priority of the logical channel,

wherein a higher priority is selected when the uplink grant is received from a first cell of a licensed band, and wherein a lower priority is selected when the uplink grant is received from a second cell of an unlicensed band;

perform the LCP procedure for the logical channel based on the selected priority, wherein the two PBRs include a first PBR for the uplink grant received from the first cell of the licensed band and a second PBR for the uplink grant received from the second cell of the unlicensed band.

5. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the uplink grant received from the first cell of the licensed band is information for an amount of data that can be transmitted to the first cell of the licensed band, and the uplink grant received from the second cell of the unlicensed band is information for an amount of data that can be transmitted to the second cell of the unlicensed band.

6. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a Medium Access Control Protocol Data Unit (MAC PDU) after performing the LCP procedure.
