Abstract

One embodiment of the present specification discloses an uplink transmission method in a multi-cell environment in which a single uplink resource is shared. The method may comprise: receiving control information that configures an uplink control channel and an uplink shared channel so that the uplink control channel and the uplink shared channel are not simultaneously transmitted on the same one uplink subframe, wherein the single uplink resource is shared by a first cell and a second cell; selecting any one of the uplink control channel and the uplink shared channel if a first Scheduling Request (SR) for the first cell and Uplink Control Information (UCI) for the second cell are requested to be simultaneously transmitted on the same subframe through the uplink control channel and the uplink shared channel, respectively; sending the selected channel on the uplink subframe.

Claims (30)

1. An uplink transmission method, the method performed by a single user equipment (UE) and comprising:

determining, by the single UE configured with a first cell group and a second cell group, whether a first uplink channel transmission toward the first cell group is overlapped in a subframe with a second uplink channel transmission toward the second cell group;

determining, by the single UE, whether to transmit both or one of the first uplink channel transmission and the second uplink channel transmission, based on the determining that the first uplink channel transmission is overlapped with the second uplink channel transmission; and

performing, by the single UE, both of the first uplink channel transmission and the second uplink channel transmission based on the determining that the first uplink channel transmission is overlapped with the second uplink channel transmission,

wherein the first uplink channel transmission includes a first a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission and the second uplink channel transmission includes a second PRACH transmission.

2. The uplink transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the first uplink channel transmission further includes a first transmission for a first scheduling request (SR) and the second uplink channel transmission further includes a second transmission for a second SR,

wherein each of the first and the second SRs comprises information about a corresponding cell.

3. The uplink transmission method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving control information on the second SR.

4. The uplink transmission method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving a first uplink grant for the first SR; and

receiving a second uplink grant for the second SR,

wherein the first uplink grant and the second uplink grant are received on different subframes.

5. The uplink transmission method of claim 1 , further comprising performing a hopping of radio resources for the second uplink channel.

6. The uplink transmission method of claim 1 ,

wherein both of the first uplink channel transmission and the second uplink channel transmission are performed based on a priority.

7. The uplink transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the second uplink channel transmission further includes a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission including a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement (ACK)/negative-acknowledgement (NACK).

8. The uplink transmission method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first uplink channel transmission further includes a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission, and

wherein the second uplink channel transmission further includes a second PUCCH transmission.

9. The uplink transmission method of claim 1 , wherein based on that the second uplink channel transmission further includes a transmission of a HARQ ACK/NACK, the second uplink channel transmission is prioritized over the first uplink channel transmission.

10. The uplink transmission method of claim 1 , wherein based on that the second uplink channel transmission does not include a transmission for a HARQ ACK/NACK, the first uplink channel transmission is prioritized over the second uplink channel transmission.

11. A single user equipment for performing uplink transmission, the user equipment comprising:

a transceiver which is configured with a first cell group and a second cell group and transmits and receives signals; and

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver and is configured to:

determine whether a first uplink channel transmission toward the first cell group is overlapped in a subframe with a second uplink channel transmission toward the second cell group;

determine whether to transmit both or one of the first uplink channel transmission and the second uplink channel transmission, based on the determine that the first uplink channel transmission is overlapped with the second uplink channel transmission; and

perform both of the first uplink channel transmission and the second uplink channel transmission based on the determine that the first uplink channel transmission is overlapped with the second uplink channel transmission,

wherein the first uplink channel transmission includes a first a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission and the second uplink channel transmission includes a second PRACH transmission.

12. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the first uplink channel transmission further includes a first transmission for a first scheduling request (SR) and the second uplink channel transmission further includes a second transmission for a second SR,

wherein each of the first and the second SRs comprises information about a corresponding cell.
