Abstract

A communication method and system for converging a fifth generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a fourth generation (4G) system with a technology for internet of things (IoT) includes intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology. A method by a terminal for transmitting uplink data in a wireless communication system comprises receiving downlink control information for scheduling of uplink transmission in a cell from a base station and transmitting the uplink data to the base station on the supplementary uplink if the indicator indicates the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the supplementary uplink in the cell. The downlink control information includes an indicator indicating whether the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with a supplementary uplink in the cell.

Claims (44)

1. A method performed by a terminal for transmitting uplink data in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, downlink control information for scheduling of uplink transmission in a cell, wherein the downlink control information includes an indicator indicating whether the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with a non-supplementary uplink or a supplementary uplink in the cell, and a size of the indicator is 1 bit;

identifying whether the indicator indicates that the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the non-supplementary uplink or the supplementary uplink in the cell; and

transmitting, to the base station, the uplink transmission on the supplementary uplink in case that the indicator indicates that the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the supplementary uplink in the cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the base station, the uplink transmission on the non-supplementary uplink in the cell in case that the indicator indicates that the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the non-supplementary uplink in the cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, random access channel (RACH) configuration information for the supplementary uplink in system information;

determining whether to perform a random access (RA) procedure on the supplementary uplink based on the RACH configuration information; and

transmitting, to the base station, an RA preamble on the supplementary uplink in case that the RA procedure is determined to be performed on the supplementary uplink.

4. A method performed by a base station for receiving uplink data in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying whether to schedule uplink transmission for a terminal on a non-supplementary uplink or a supplementary uplink in a cell;

transmitting, to the terminal, downlink control information for the scheduling of the uplink transmission in the cell, wherein the downlink control information includes an indicator indicating whether the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the non-supplementary uplink or the supplementary uplink in the cell, and a size of the indicator is 1 bit; and

receiving, from the terminal, the uplink data on the supplementary uplink in case that the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the supplementary uplink.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

receiving, from the terminal, the uplink data on the non-supplementary uplink in the cell in case that downlink the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the non-supplementary uplink.

6. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the terminal, random access channel (RACH) configuration information for the supplementary uplink in system information.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising;

receiving, from the terminal, a random access (RA) preamble on the supplementary uplink in case that an RA procedure is determined to be performed on the supplementary uplink based on the RACH configuration information.

8. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to:

receive signals from a base station, and

transmit signals to the base station; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

control the transceiver to receive downlink control information for scheduling of uplink transmission in a cell from the base station, wherein the downlink control information includes an indicator indicating whether the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with a non-supplementary uplink or a supplementary uplink in the cell, and a size of the indicator is 1 bit,

identify whether the indicator indicates that the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the non-supplementary uplink or the supplementary uplink in the cell, and

control the transceiver to transmit the uplink transmission to the base station on the supplementary uplink in case that the indicator indicates that the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the supplementary uplink in the cell.

9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to transmit the uplink transmission to the base station on the non-supplementary uplink in the cell in case that the indicator indicates that the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the non-supplementary uplink in the cell.

10. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

control the transceiver to receive random access channel (RACH) configuration information for the supplementary uplink in system information from the base station,

determine whether to perform a random access (RA) procedure on the supplementary uplink based on the RACH configuration information, and

control the transceiver to transmit an RA preamble to the base station on the supplementary uplink in case that the RA procedure is determined to be performed on the supplementary uplink.

11. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to:

receive signals from a terminal, and

transmit signals to the terminal; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

identify whether to schedule uplink transmission for the terminal on a non-supplementary uplink or a supplementary uplink in a cell,

control the transceiver to transmit downlink control information for the scheduling of the uplink transmission in the cell to the terminal, wherein the downlink control information includes an indicator indicating whether the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the non-supplementary uplink or the supplementary uplink in the cell, and a size of the indicator is 1 bit, and

control the transceiver to receive the uplink transmission from the terminal on the supplementary uplink in case that the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the supplementary uplink in the cell.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to control the transceiver to receive the uplink transmission from the terminal on the non-supplementary uplink in the cell in case that the scheduling of the uplink transmission is associated with the non-supplementary uplink.

13. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit random access channel (RACH) configuration information for the supplementary uplink in system information to the terminal.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive a random access (RA) preamble from the terminal on the supplementary uplink in case that an RA procedure is determined to be performed on the supplementary uplink based on the RACH configuration information.
