Abstract

A method by which a terminal transmits uplink control information including acknowledgment information in a wireless communication system supporting a carrier aggregation is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station, downlink control information including indication information of a resource for transmitting the acknowledgment information; when the number of bits of the acknowledgment information is larger than the determined number of bits, determining a specific format of an uplink control channel to which the acknowledgment information will be transmitted; and transmitting the acknowledgment information in the uplink control channel of the specific format using the resource having been indicated on the basis of the indication information.

Claims (55)

1. A method for transmitting, by a terminal, uplink control information (UCI) including acknowledgment information in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, downlink control information including indication information of a resource for transmitting the acknowledgment information;

determining a resource of an uplink control channel in which the UCI including the acknowledgment information and channel information is to be transmitted based on a number of bits of the UCI and the indication information; and

transmitting the UCI including the acknowledgment information and the channel information in the uplink control channel based on the determined resource,

wherein the determining of the resource of the uplink control channel includes:

determining a first set of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources in case that the number of bits of the UCI is greater than 2 and not greater than a first predetermined number and determining a first PUCCH resource from the first set of PUCCH resources based on the indication information,

determining a second set of PUCCH resources in case that the number of bits of the UCI is greater than the first predetermined number and not greater than a second predetermined number and determining a second PUCCH resource from the second set of PUCCH resources based on the indication information, and

determining a third set of PUCCH resources in case that the number of bits of the UCI is greater than the second predetermined number and not greater than a third predetermined number and determining a third PUCCH resource from the third set of PUCCH resources based on the indication information, and

wherein the first predetermined number, the second predetermined number and the third predetermined number are different from each other.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the acknowledgment information relates to downlink data received from a plurality of cells configured by the carrier aggregation.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

comparing a sum of a number of bits of the acknowledgment information and a number of bits of the channel information with a payload size configured by higher layer information; and

selectively transmitting the channel information based on a result obtained from the comparing.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

comparing a sum of a number of bits of the acknowledgment information and a number of bits of the channel information with a payload size configured by higher layer information; and

determining whether to apply spatial bundling to the acknowledgment information, based on a result obtained from the comparing.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

comparing a sum of a number of bits of the acknowledgment information and a number of bits of the channel information with a payload size configured by higher layer information; and

transmitting the channel information within the payload size according to a determined priority, based on a result obtained from the comparing.

6. A terminal in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit or receive data; and

a processor configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a base station via the transceiver, downlink control information including indication information of a resource for transmitting acknowledgment information,

determine a resource of an uplink control channel in which uplink control information (UCI) including the acknowledgment information and channel information is to be transmitted based on a number of bits of the UCI and the indication information, and

control the transceiver to transmit the UCI including the acknowledgment information and the channel information in the uplink control channel based on the determined resource,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a first set of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources in case that the number of bits of the UCI is greater than 2 and not greater than a first predetermined number and determine a first PUCCH resource from the first set of PUCCH resources based on the indication information,

determine a second set of PUCCH resources in case that the number of bits of the UCI is greater than the first predetermined number and not greater than a second predetermined number and determine a second PUCCH resource from the second set of PUCCH resources based on the indication information, and

determine a third set of PUCCH resources in case that the number of bits of the UCI is greater than the second predetermined number and not greater than a third predetermined number and determine a third PUCCH resource from the third set of PUCCH resources based on the indication information, and

wherein the first predetermined number, the second predetermined number and the third predetermined number are different from each other.

7. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the acknowledgment information relates to downlink data received from a plurality of cells configured by the carrier aggregation.

8. The terminal of claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

compare a sum of a number of bits of the acknowledgment information and a number of bits of the channel information with a payload size configured by higher layer information, and

selectively transmit the channel information based on a result obtained from the comparing.

9. The terminal of claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

compare a sum of a number of bits of the acknowledgment information and a number of bits of the channel information with a payload size configured by higher layer information, and

determine whether to apply spatial bundling to the acknowledgment information, based on a result obtained from the comparing.

10. The terminal of claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

compare a sum of a number of bits of the acknowledgment information and a number of bits of the channel information with a payload size configured by higher layer information, and

transmit the channel information within the payload size according to a determined priority, based on a result obtained from the comparing.

11. A terminal in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit or receive data; and

a processor configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a base station via the transceiver, downlink control information including indication information of a resource for transmitting acknowledgment information,

determine a resource of an uplink control channel in which uplink control information (UCI) including the acknowledgment information and channel information is to be transmitted based on a number of bits of the UCI and the indication information,

control the transceiver to transmit the UCI including the acknowledgment information and the channel information in the uplink control channel in case that the terminal is configured to transmit the acknowledgment information and the channel information simultaneously by higher layer information, and

control the transceiver to transmit the acknowledgment information without the channel information in the uplink control channel in case that the terminal is not configured to transmit the acknowledgment information and the channel information simultaneously,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine a first set of physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources in case that the number of bits of the UCI is greater than 2 and not greater than a first predetermined number and determine a first PUCCH resource from the first set of PUCCH resources based on the indication information,

determine a second set of PUCCH resources in case that the number of bits of the UCI is greater than the first predetermined number and not greater than a second predetermined number and determine a second PUCCH resource from the second set of PUCCH resources based on the indication information, and
