Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for transmitting uplink information, including: determining a frequency band for carrier sensing and an allocation manner of uplink frequency domain resources by receiving a signaling or by predefining via a protocol; performing carrier sensing at the determined frequency band for carrier sensing; and transmitting uplink information in uplink frequency domain resources determined according to the allocation manner of uplink frequency domain resources when a carrier is idle. The present disclosure also provides a user equipment for transmitting uplink information.

Claims (38)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling of uplink data, wherein the DCI includes interlace allocation information and resource block (RB) set allocation information;

performing a carrier sensing on a plurality of RB sets, wherein the plurality of RB sets is identified based on the RB set allocation information included in the DCI; and

transmitting, to the BS, the uplink data on at least one RB of the plurality of RB sets, based on the interlace allocation information and a result of the carrier sensing on the plurality of RBs,

wherein the RB set allocation information indicates the plurality of RB sets is consecutive RB sets corresponding to a frequency bandwidth for the carrier sensing, and

wherein the interlace allocation information includes a bitmap indicating whether frequency domain resource allocation units is allocated to the UE, and a size of the bitmap is a number of the frequency domain resource allocation units.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interlace allocation information comprises information bits indicating at least one interlace among a plurality of interlaces.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RB set allocation information comprises information about the plurality of RB sets for the carrier sensing.

4. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a base station (BS), downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling of uplink data, wherein the DCI includes interlace allocation information and resource block (RB) set allocation information;

perform a carrier sensing on a plurality of RB sets, wherein the plurality of RB sets is identified based on the RB set allocation information included in the DCI; and

control the transceiver to transmit, to the BS, the uplink data on RB of the plurality of RB sets, based on the interlace allocation information and a result of the carrier sensing on the plurality of RB sets,

wherein the RB set allocation information indicates the plurality of RB sets is consecutive RB sets corresponding to a frequency bandwidth for the carrier sensing, and

wherein the interlace allocation information includes a bitmap indicating whether frequency domain resource allocation units is allocated to the UE, and a size of the bitmap is a number of the frequency domain resource allocation units.

5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the interlace allocation information comprises information bits indicating at least one interlace among a plurality of interlaces.

6. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the RB set allocation information comprises information about the plurality of RB sets for the carrier sensing.

7. A method performed by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling of uplink data, wherein the DCI includes interlace allocation information and resource block (RB) set allocation information; and

receiving, from the UE, the uplink data on RB of a plurality of RB sets,

wherein the uplink data is received from the UE, based on the interlace allocation information and a result of a carrier sensing of the UE on the plurality of RB sets,

wherein the plurality of RB sets is identified based on the RB set allocation information included in the DCI,

wherein the RB set allocation information indicates the plurality of RB sets is consecutive RB sets corresponding to a frequency bandwidth for the carrier sensing, and

wherein the interlace allocation information includes a bitmap indicating whether frequency domain resource allocation units is allocated to the UE, and a size of the bitmap is a number of the frequency domain resource allocation units.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the interlace allocation information comprises information bits indicating at least one interlace among a plurality of interlaces.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the RB set allocation information comprises information about the plurality of RB sets for the carrier sensing.

10. A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

control the transceiver to transmit, to a user equipment (UE), downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling of uplink data, wherein the DCI includes interlace allocation information and resource block (RB) set allocation information; and

control the transceiver to receive, from the UE, the uplink data on RB of a plurality of RB sets,

wherein the uplink data is received from the UE, based on the interlace allocation information and a result of a carrier sensing of the UE on the plurality of RB sets,

wherein the plurality of RB sets is identified based on the RB set allocation information included in the DCI,

wherein the RB set allocation information indicates the plurality of RB sets is consecutive RB sets corresponding to a frequency bandwidth for the carrier sensing, and

wherein the interlace allocation information includes a bitmap indicating whether frequency domain resource allocation units is allocated to the UE, and a size of the bitmap is a number of the frequency domain resource allocation units.

11. The BS of claim 10 , wherein the interlace allocation information comprises information bits indicating at least one interlace among a plurality of interlaces.

12. The BS of claim 10 , wherein the RB set allocation information comprises information about the plurality of RB sets for the carrier sensing.
