Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. In particular, the present invention provides a method for transmitting uplink signals in a wireless communication system, which supports carrier aggregation, and a device for same, the method comprising the steps of: configuring multiple cells having different subframe configurations; transmitting, in a first cell of subframe #n, first control information through a first PUCCH; and transmitting, in a second cell of subframe #m, second control information through a second PUCCH, wherein: the first cell is a cell the transmission direction of which is configured as an uplink in subframe #n; the second cell is a cell the transmission direction of which is configured as an uplink in subframe #m; and the second cell is different from the first cell.

Claims (32)

1. A method of transmitting uplink signals by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation, comprising:

configuring multiple cells having different subframe configurations, wherein the multiple cells includes a first cell group including a primary cell and a second cell group including a first cell and a second cell;

transmitting, in the first cell in a subframe #n, first control information through a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); and

transmitting, in the first cell in a subframe #m, second control information through a second PUCCH,

wherein the first cell is a cell in which a transmission direction is configured as uplink in the subframe #n and the subframe #m, the second cell being different from the first cell, and

wherein the subframe #n is an uplink subframe related to a set of a smallest number of downlink subframes based on the subframe configurations of the first cell and the primary cell, and

wherein the subframe #m is an uplink subframe related to a set of a smallest number of downlink subframes based on the subframe configurations of the first cell, the second cell and the primary cell.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, based on a single cell in which a transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, the first control information includes only uplink control information about the single cell, and

based on multiple cells in which a transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, the first control information includes uplink control information about the multiple cells.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, based on a single cell in which a transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, the first PUCCH is transmitted on the single cell, and

based on multiple cells in which a transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, the first PUCCH is transmitted on a specific cell of the multiple cells.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the specific cell is a cell having a lowest cell index among the multiple cells based on the multiple cells in which the transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein, based on the single cell in which the transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, a downlink grant which schedules the single cell includes power control information for the first PUCCH.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein, based on the multiple cells in which the transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, a downlink grant which schedules the specific cell includes power control information for the first PUCCH and a downlink grant which schedules cells other than the specific cell among the multiple cells includes information for a resource of the first PUCCH.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first control information and the second control information include hybrid ARQ acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information.

8. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit uplink signals in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation, comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

configure multiple cells having different subframe configurations, wherein the multiple cells includes a first cell group including a primary cell and a second cell group including a first cell and a second cell; and

transmit, in the first cell in a subframe #n, first control information through a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and to transmit, in a first cell in a subframe #m, second control information through a second PUCCH,

wherein the first cell is a cell in which a transmission direction is configured as uplink in the subframe #n and the subframe #m, the second cell being different from the first cell,

wherein the subframe #n is an uplink subframe related to a set of a smallest number of downlink subframes based on the subframe configurations of the first cell and the primary cell, and

wherein the subframe #m is an uplink subframe related to a set of a smallest number of downlink subframes based on the subframe configurations of the first cell, the second cell and the primary cell.

9. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein, based on a single cell in which a transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, the first control information includes only uplink control information about the single cell, and

based on multiple cells in which a transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, the first control information includes uplink control information about the multiple cells.

10. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein, based on a single cell in which a transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, the first PUCCH is transmitted on the single cell, and

based on multiple cells in which a transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, the first PUCCH is transmitted on a specific cell of the multiple cells.

11. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the specific cell is a cell having a lowest cell index among the multiple cells based on the multiple cells in which the transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n.

12. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein, based on the single cell in which the transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, a downlink grant which schedules the single cell includes power control information for the first PUCCH.

13. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein, based on the multiple cells in which the transmission direction being configured as uplink in the subframe #n, a downlink grant which schedules the specific cell includes power control information for the first PUCCH and a downlink grant which schedules cells other than the specific cell among the multiple cells includes information for a resource of the first PUCCH.

14. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the first control information and the second control information include hybrid ARQ acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information.
