Abstract

Provided is a channel status information (CSI) transmission method performed by a user equipment in a carrier aggregation system. The method includes: allocating a plurality of serving cells; configuring a subframe predetermined to transmit CSI for a single serving cell among the allocated plurality of serving cells; and if uplink data transmission via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) region exists in the configured subframe and if the single serving cell is deactivated, transmitting deactivation confirmation information for indicating that the single serving cell is deactivated via the PUSCH region together with the uplink data.

Claims (65)

1. A channel status information (CSI) transmission method performed by a user equipment in a carrier aggregation system, comprising:

obtaining information of a single serving cell among a plurality of serving cells,

wherein the information of the single serving cell indicates whether the single serving cell is in a deactivated state or in an activated state,

receiving subframe allocation information for transmitting CSI of the single serving cell among the plurality of serving cells,

wherein the subframe allocation information indicates a configuration of a subframe that is used to transmit the CSI of the single serving cell; and

when if uplink data transmission via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) region exists in the configuration of the subframe, and

when the single serving cell is in the deactivated state, transmitting deactivation confirmation information for indicating that the single serving cell is deactivated via the PUSCH region together with the uplink data,

wherein the CSI is multiplexed by puncturing a PUSCH resource according to a type of the CSI or by decreasing an amount of coded bits for the PUSCH through a rate-matching, and

wherein the single serving cell includes a single downlink component carrier, and the deactivation confirmation information is information for indicating that the single downlink component carrier is deactivated.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the deactivation configuration information is transmitted by using the resource as that used for CSI transmitted when the single serving cell is activated in the PUSCH region.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the deactivation confirmation information is transmitted by puncturing the resource or by performing the rate-matching as that used for the CSI transmitted when the single serving cell is activated.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI for the single serving cell is periodic CSI.

5. A channel status information (CSI) transmission method performed by a user equipment in a carrier aggregation system, comprising:

obtaining information of a single serving cell among a plurality of serving cells,

wherein the information of the single serving cell indicates whether the single serving cell is in a deactivated state or in an activated state;

receiving subframe allocation information for transmitting CSI for N serving cells (where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) among the plurality of serving cells,

wherein the subframe allocation information indicates a configuration of a subframe that is used to transmit the CSI of the single serving cell; and

selecting a single activated serving cell to which the CSI is fed back among the N serving cells,

wherein, when uplink data transmission via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) region exists in the configuration of the subframe, the CSI for the single activated serving cell is transmitted using a PUSCH resource corresponding to a union of PUSCH resources for transmitting CSI for each of the N serving cells,

wherein the CSI is multiplexed by puncturing the PUSCH resource according to a type of the CSI or by decreasing an amount of coded bits for the PUSCH through a rate-matching, and

wherein the single serving cell includes a single downlink component carrier, and the deactivation confirmation information is information for indicating that the single downlink component carrier is deactivated.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the N serving cells include a deactivated serving cell.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the CSI for the activated single serving cell is transmitted together with the uplink data.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the CSI for the activated single serving cell is transmitted in some of the PUSCH resources corresponding to the union, and dummy data is transmitted in the remaining PUSCH resources.

9. A channel status information (CSI) CSI transmission method performed by a user equipment in a carrier aggregation system, comprising:

obtaining information of a single serving cell among a plurality of serving cells,

wherein the information of the single serving cell indicates whether the single serving cell is in a deactivated state or in an activated state;

receiving subframe allocation information for transmitting CSI of the single serving cell among the plurality of serving cells,

wherein the subframe allocation information indicates a configuration of a subframe that is used to transmit the CSI of the single serving cell; and

selecting one serving cell for which the CSI is fed back among the at least one serving cell,

wherein, when the selected one serving cell is a deactivated serving cell, a specific value is transmitted among CSI that can be transmitted when the selected one serving cell is activated, and

wherein the CSI is multiplexed by puncturing a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource according to a type of the CSI or by decreasing an amount of coded bits for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) through a rate-matching.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the specific value is a value indicating a worst channel status.

11. A user equipment comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor coupled to the RF unit,

wherein the processor

obtains information of a single serving cell among a plurality of serving cells,

wherein the information of the single serving cell indicates whether the single serving cell is in a deactivated state or in an activated state;

receives subframe allocation information for transmitting CSI of the single serving cell among the allocated plurality of serving cells,

wherein the subframe allocation information indicates a configuration of a subframe that is used to transmit the CSI of the single serving cell; and

when uplink data transmission via a PUSCH region exists in the configuration of the subframe and when the single serving cell is in the deactivated state, transmits deactivation confirmation information for indicating that the single serving cell is deactivated via the PUSCH region together with the uplink data,

wherein the CSI is multiplexed by puncturing a PUSCH resource according to a type of the CSI or by decreasing an amount of coded bits for the PUSCH through a rate-matching, and

wherein the single serving cell includes a single downlink component carrier, and the deactivation confirmation information is information for indicating that the single downlink component carrier is deactivated.

12. A user equipment comprising:

an RF unit for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor coupled to the RF unit and configured to:

obtain information of a single serving cell among a plurality of serving cells,

wherein the information of the single serving cell indicates whether the single serving cell is in a deactivated state or in an activated state;

receive subframe allocation information for transmitting channel status information (CSI) for N serving cells (where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2) among the allocated plurality of serving cells,

wherein the subframe allocation information indicates a configuration of a subframe that is used to transmit the CSI of the single serving cell; and

select a single activated serving cell to which the CSI is fed back among the N serving cells,

wherein, when uplink data transmission via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) region exists in the configuration of the subframe, the CSI for the single activated serving cell is transmitted using a PUSCH resource corresponding to a union of PUSCH resources for transmitting CSI for each of the N serving cells,
