Method for determining uplink transmission timing of terminal having plurality of cells configured therein in wireless communication system, and apparatus using the method
Provided is a method for determining an uplink transmission timing of a terminal having a plurality of cells configured therein, and a terminal using the method in a wireless communication system. The method comprises receiving timing advance (TA) configuration information, and determining an uplink transmission timing for each of the two cells on the basis of the TA configuration information, wherein the plurality of cells comprise a first cell using a frequency division duplex (FDD) frame structure and a second cell using a time division duplex (TDD) frame structure.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a memory; and
a processor connected to the memory,
wherein the processor is configured to receive timing advance (TA) configuration information, and, upon reception of the TA configuration information, the processor is further configured to determine an uplink transmission time for each of two cells among a plurality of cells, wherein the two cells are included in a group, and
wherein:
i) based on the two cells comprising a first cell using a frequency division duplex (FDD) frame structure and a second cell using a time division duplex (TDD) frame structure and based on the group including only secondary cells, both the uplink transmission time of the first cell and the uplink transmission time of the second cell are determined by applying a same offset value regardless of frame structures of the first cell and the second cell, and the same offset value is an offset value applied to a cell using the TDD frame structure, and
ii) based on the two cells comprising the first cell using the FDD frame structure and the second cell using the TDD frame structure and based on the group including a primary cell, an uplink transmission time of the primary cell is determined based on the TA configuration information, and both the uplink transmission time of the first cell and the uplink transmission time of the second cell are determined to be the same as the uplink transmission time of the primary cell.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the primary cell is a serving cell on which a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is transmitted.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein both the first cell and the second cell are secondary cells.
