Abstract

A method for transmitting control information to request a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of transmission bands is disclosed. The method includes generating control information including downlink transmission band indication information and CQI request information, the downlink transmission band indication information indicating a downlink transmission band requiring CQI reporting among a plurality of downlink transmission bands and the CQI request information requesting CQI reporting for the downlink transmission band, and transmitting the generated control information on a downlink control channel of a predetermined downlink transmission band among the plurality of downlink transmission bands.

Claims (19)

1. A method for transmitting control information to request a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of transmission bands, the method comprising:

generating control information including downlink transmission band indication information and CQI request information, the downlink transmission band indication information indicating a downlink transmission band requiring CQI reporting among a plurality of downlink transmission bands and the CQI request information requesting CQI reporting for the downlink transmission band; and

transmitting the generated control information on a downlink control channel of a predetermined downlink transmission band among the plurality of downlink transmission bands,

wherein if the number of the plurality of downlink transmission bands is M, [log 2 (M+1)] bits are allocated to the downlink transmission band indication information and the CQI request information, and [ ] represents a ceiling function.

2. A method for transmitting control information to request a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of transmission bands, the method comprising:

generating control information including downlink transmission band indication information and CQI request information, the downlink transmission band indication information indicating a downlink transmission band requiring CQI reporting among a plurality of downlink transmission bands and the CQI request information requesting CQI reporting for the downlink transmission band; and

transmitting the generated control information on a downlink control channel of a predetermined downlink transmission band among the plurality of downlink transmission bands, wherein the control information further includes whole band CQI request information requesting a CQI for all of the plurality of downlink transmission bands, [log 2 (M+2)] bits are allocated to the downlink transmission band indication information, the CQI request information, and the whole band CQI request information, and [ ] represents a ceiling function.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CQI request information is one bit and if the one bit is set to 1, the CQI request information indicates request of CQI reporting.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the control information further includes whole band CQI request information requesting CQI information for all of the plurality of downlink transmission bands.

5. A Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of transmission bands, the BS comprising:

a processor unit configured to generate control information including downlink transmission band indication information and Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) request information, the downlink transmission band indication information indicating a downlink transmission band requiring CQI reporting among a plurality of downlink transmission bands and the CQI request information requesting CQI reporting for the downlink transmission band; and

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit electrically connected to the processor unit, and configured to transmit the generated control information on a downlink control channel of a predetermined downlink transmission band among the plurality of downlink transmission bands,

wherein if the number of the plurality of downlink transmission bands is M, [log 2 (M+1)] bits are allocated to the downlink transmission band indication information and the CQI request information, and [ ] represents a ceiling function.

6. The BS according to claim 5 , wherein the CQI request information is one bit and if the one bit is set to 1, the CQI request information indicates request of CQI reporting.

7. The BS according to claim 5 , wherein the control information further includes whole band CQI request information requesting CQI information for all of the plurality of downlink transmission bands.

8. A Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of transmission bands, the BS comprising:

a processor unit configured to generate control information including downlink transmission band indication information and Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) request information, the downlink transmission band indication information indicating a downlink transmission band requiring CQI reporting among a plurality of downlink transmission bands and the CQI request information requesting CQI reporting for the downlink transmission band; and

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit electrically connected to the processor unit, and configured to transmit the generated control information on a downlink control channel of a predetermined downlink transmission band among the plurality of downlink transmission bands,

wherein the control information further includes whole band CQI request information requesting a CQI for all of the plurality of downlink transmission bands, [log 2 (M+2)] bits are allocated to the downlink transmission band indication information, the CQI request information, and the whole band CQI request information, and [ ] represents a ceiling function.
