Abstract

A method of a user equipment (UE) for transmitting acknowledgement information. The method comprises receiving a physical downlink control channel conveying a downlink control information (DCI) format, a physical downlink shared channel conveying one or more data transport blocks scheduled by the DCI format, and configuration information for transmission of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) conveying acknowledgement information in response to the reception of the one or more data transport blocks; and transmitting the PUCCH in time-frequency resources within a first slot. An index of the first slot is configured by the DCI format. The time-frequency resources within the first slot are configured by the DCI format through a configuration of an index of a first symbol, a number of consecutive slot symbols, and an index of a first frequency resource block.

Claims (43)

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

receiving, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the DCI comprises information associated with a slot for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and information associated with a PUCCH format among at least one PUCCH format;

applying a sequence and an orthogonal sequence to hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the PDSCH; and

transmitting, to the base station in the slot, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the HARQ-ACK information and the HARQ-ACK information applied with the sequence and the orthogonal sequence based on the PUCCH format,

wherein a number of symbols of the PUCCH format comprises variable and even number, and

wherein the DMRS for the HARQ-ACK information is mapped to at least one symbol with even-numbered index including index 0 within the symbols of the PUCCH format and the HARQ-ACK information is mapped to at least one symbol with odd-numbered index within the symbols of the PUCCH format.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a minimum number of symbols of the PUCCH format is 4 and a maximum number of symbols of the PUCCH format is 14.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI comprises information associated with the number of symbols of the PUCCH format, the information associated with the number of symbols of the PUCCH format indicating one of variable even numbers.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a power for transmission of a PUCCH depends on the number of symbols of the PUCCH format, and

wherein the orthogonal sequence depends on the number of symbols of the PUCCH format.

5. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the DCI comprises information associated with a slot for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and information associated with a PUCCH format among at least one PUCCH format; and

receiving, from the terminal in the slot, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the PDSCH and the HARQ-ACK information, wherein the HARQ-ACK information is applied with a sequence and an orthogonal sequence based on the PUCCH format,

wherein a number of symbols of the PUCCH format comprises variable and even number, and

wherein the DMRS for the HARQ-ACK information is mapped to at least one symbol with even-numbered index including index 0 within the symbols of the PUCCH format, and the HARQ-ACK information is mapped to at least one symbol with odd-numbered index within the symbols of the PUCCH format.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a minimum number of symbols of the PUCCH format is 4 and a maximum number of symbols of the PUCCH format is 14, and

wherein the DCI comprises information associated with the number of symbols of the PUCCH format, the information associated with the number of symbols of the PUCCH format indicating one of variable even numbers.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein a power for transmission of a PUCCH depends on the number of symbols of the PUCCH format, and

wherein the orthogonal sequence depends on the number of symbols of the PUCCH format.

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

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the DCI comprises information associated with a slot for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and information associated with a PUCCH format among at least one PUCCH format,

apply a sequence and an orthogonal sequence to hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the PDSCH, and

transmit, to the base station in the slot, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the HARQ-ACK information and the HARQ-ACK information applied with the sequence and the orthogonal sequence based on the PUCCH format,

wherein a number of symbols of the PUCCH format comprises variable and even number, and

wherein the DMRS for the HARQ-ACK information is mapped to at least one symbol with even-numbered index including index 0 within the symbols of the PUCCH format, and the HARQ-ACK information is mapped to at least one symbol with odd-numbered index with the symbols of the PUCCH format.

9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein a minimum number of symbols of the PUCCH format is 4 and a maximum number of symbols of the PUCCH format is 14.

10. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the DCI comprises information associated with the number of symbols of the PUCCH format, the information associated with the number of symbols of the PUCCH format indicating one of variable even numbers.

11. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein a power for transmission of a PUCCH depends on the number of symbols of the PUCCH format, and

wherein the orthogonal sequence depends on the number of symbols of the PUCCH format.

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

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the DCI comprises information associated with a slot for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and information associated with a PUCCH format among at least one PUCCH format, and

receive, from the terminal in the slot, a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the PDSCH and the HARQ-ACK information, wherein the HARQ-ACK information is applied with a sequence and an orthogonal sequence based on the PUCCH format,

wherein a number of symbols of the PUCCH format comprises variable and even number, and

wherein the DMRS for the HARQ-ACK information is mapped to at least one symbol with even-numbered index including index 0 within the symbols of the PUCCH format, and the HARQ-ACK information is mapped to at least one symbol with odd-numbered index within the symbols of the PUCCH format.

13. The base station of claim 12 , wherein a minimum number of symbols of the PUCCH format is 4 and a maximum number of symbols of the PUCCH format is 14.
