Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting uplink control information in the event that a plurality of cells is constructed, wherein the method comprises the following steps: receiving a PDCCH and/or a PDSCH; generating acknowledgement information on the PDCCH and/or PDSCH; and, if acknowledgement information transmission timing and channel state information transmission timing collide with each other, dropping the channel state information and transmitting only the acknowledgement information, or transmitting the acknowledgement information and the channel state information together in accordance with a predetermined condition.

Claims (220)

1. A method of transmitting uplink control information at a communication apparatus in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving at least one of one or more Physical Downlink Control CHannels (PDCCHs) and one or more Physical Downlink Shared CHannels (PDCCHs); and

generating reception response information about the at least one of the one or more PDCCHs and the one or more PDCCHs,

wherein when a transmission time of the reception response information and a transmission time of channel status information are collided, if a certain condition is satisfied, the reception response information and the channel status information are transmitted together using a first Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) format,

wherein when the transmission time of the reception response information and the transmission time of the channel status information are collided, if the certain condition is not satisfied, the reception response information is transmitted using a second PUCCH format and the channel status information is dropped,

wherein the certain condition includes at least one of the following conditions (1) to (3):

(1) a single PDSCH transmission only on a Primary Cell (PCell) indicated by detection of a PDCCH having a Downlink Assignment Index (DAI) initial value is present;

(2) a single PDCCH transmission only on the PCell that has the DAI initial value and indicates a Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) release is present; and

(3) a single PDSCH transmission only on the PCell where there is not a corresponding PDCCH is present.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the certain condition is not satisfied, resource for the second PUCCH format is indicated by a value of Transmit Power Control (TPC) field of one or more Secondary Cell (SCell) PDCCH and/or one or more PCell PDCCH not correspond to the DAI initial value.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of one or more Physical Downlink Control CHannels (PDSCHs) and one or more Physical Downlink Shared CHannels (PDSCHs) is received in a subframe n−k (kεK), the reception response information is transmitted in a subframe n, and K is given by the below table in accordance with UL-DL configuration.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first PUCCH format is a PUCCH format 2, 2a or 2b.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second PUCCH format is a PUCCH format 3.

7. A communication apparatus configured to transmit uplink control information in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) wireless communication system, the communication apparatus comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to receive at least one of one or more Physical Downlink Control CHannels (PDCCHs) and one or more Physical Downlink Shared CHannels (PDSCHs), and to generate reception response information about the at least one of the one or more PDCCHs and the one or more PDSCHs,

wherein when a transmission time of the reception response information and a transmission time of channel status information are collided, if a certain condition is satisfied, the reception response information and the channel status information are transmitted together using a first Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) format,

wherein when the transmission time of the reception response information and the transmission time of the channel status information are collided, if the certain condition is not satisfied, the reception response information is transmitted using a second PUCCH format and the channel status information is dropped,

wherein the certain condition includes at least one of the following conditions (1) to (3):

(1) a single PDSCH transmission only on a Primary Cell (PCell) indicated by detection of a PDCCH having a Downlink Assignment Index (DAI) initial value is present;

(2) a single PDCCH transmission only on the PCell that has the DAI initial value and indicates a Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) release is present; and

(3) a single PDSCH transmission only on the PCell where there is not a corresponding PDCCH is present.

8. The communication apparatus of claim 7 , wherein if the certain condition is not satisfied, resource for the second PUCCH format is indicated by a value of Transmit Power Control (TPC) field of one or more Secondary Cell (SCell) PDCCH and/or one or more PCell PDCCH not corresponding to the DAI initial value.

9. The communication apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one of one or more Physical Downlink Control CHannels (PDCCHs) and one or more Physical Downlink Shared CHannels (PDSCHs) is received in a subframe n−k (kεK), the reception response information is transmitted in a subframe n, and K is given by the below table in accordance with UL-DL configuration.
