Abstract

A disclosure of the present specification provides a method for transmitting an uplink control channel by a user equipment (UE). The method may comprise the steps of: determining first uplink control information and second uplink control information different from the first uplink control information; determining the size of a first transmission time interval (TTI) for transmitting a first uplink control channel, on the basis of the size of the first uplink control information; determining the size of a second TTI for transmitting a second uplink control channel, on the basis of the size of the second uplink control information; transmitting the first uplink control channel including the first uplink control information according to the size of the first TTI; and transmitting the second uplink control channel including the second uplink control information according to the size of the second TTI.

Claims (28)

1. A method for transmitting a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:

generating a sequence of the DMRS;

mapping the sequence of the DMRS over resource elements (REs), wherein the REs over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped are included in one or more resource blocks (RBs) of a slot used for the PUCCH, wherein the REs over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped are non-continuous;

mapping uplink control information (UCI) of the PUCCH over a plurality of REs other than the REs, over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped; and

transmitting, via the PUCCH, (i) the sequence of the DMRS mapped to the REs, and (ii) the UCI mapped to the plurality of REs other than the REs over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the REs over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped are distant from each other at equal intervals.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the REs over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped are offset from each other by 3.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequence of the DMRS is mapped in unit of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating the UCI.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI includes at least one of a hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARD) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI is mapped over the REs and OFDM symbols in increasing order of first RE indexes and then OFDM symbol indexes.

8. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to control the transceiver and configured to:

generate a sequence of the DMRS,

map the sequence of the DMRS over resource elements (REs), wherein the REs over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped are included in one or more resource blocks (RBs) of a slot used for the PUCCH, wherein the REs over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped are non-continuous,

map uplink control information (UCI) of the PUCCH over a plurality of REs other than the REs, over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped, and

transmit, via the PUCCH, (i) the sequence of the DMRS mapped to the REs, and (ii) the UCI mapped to the plurality of REs other than the REs over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the REs over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped are distant from each other at equal intervals.

10. The UE of claim 8 ,

wherein the REs over which the sequence of the DMRS is mapped are offset from each other by 3.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the sequence of the DMRS is mapped in unit of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

generate the UCI.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the UCI includes at least one of a hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK).

14. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the UCI is mapped over the REs and OFDM symbols in increasing order of first RE indexes and then OFDM symbol indexes.
