PUCCH resource configuration method in carrier aggregation and equipments thereof
Provided are a PUCCH resource configuration method in carrier aggregation and equipment thereof. According to one implementation, provided is a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource configuration method executed by a base station, including: configuring PUCCH resources comprising a first parameter and a second parameter for a first antenna port, wherein the first parameter indicates PUCCH resource values allocated to the first antenna port, and the second parameter indicates the number of continuous PRBs for PUCCH resources which are allocated to the first antenna port; and sending the PUCCH resource configuration to user equipment.
