Abstract

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting channel state information (CSI) of a user equipment, which is allocated a plurality of serving cells, in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: receiving setting information for setting groups comprising at least one serving cell from the plurality of serving cells, and transmitting periodic CSI with respect to a group that is selected according to priority between the groups, when the periodic CSI with respect to each of the groups is set to be transmitted from the same subframe, wherein the periodic CSI with respect to each of at least two serving cells are transmitted together when the at least two serving cells are included in the group that is selected.

Claims (27)

1. A method of transmitting channel state information (CSI) of a user equipment to which a plurality of serving cells are allocated in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information for configuring groups including at least one serving cell from the plurality of serving cells, and

transmitting a periodic CSI for a group selected according to a priority between the groups, when a periodic CSI for each of the groups is configured to be transmitted in a same subframe,

wherein a periodic CSI for each of at least two serving cells is transmitted together when the at least two serving cells are included in the selected group.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information is included in a radio resource control (RRC) message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein if it is configured such that, among the groups, a periodic CSI for a first group including only one serving cell and a periodic CSI for a second group including two or more serving cells are transmitted in the same subframe, only the periodic CSI for the second group is transmitted.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein if two or more serving cells are included in the selected group, a transmission period of the periodic CSI is equally set for all of the two or more serving cells.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the transmission period of the periodic CSI is selected from a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process period, a multiple of the HARQ process period, and a divisor of the HARQ process period.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the periodic CSI for the selected group is transmitted together with uplink data in a PUSCH of the same subframe.

7. A method of transmitting channel state information (CSI) of a user equipment to which a plurality of serving cells are allocated in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

generating a CSI for at least one serving cell among the plurality of serving cells; and

transmitting the generated CSI through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) which is an uplink data channel,

wherein if the PUSCH does not have an uplink grant which is corresponding uplink scheduling information and is transmitted by using a resource predetermined by a higher layer signal, the CSI transmitted through the PUSCH is transmitted within a range of a predetermined upper limit.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the CSI transmitted through the PUSCH is transmitted within a range of a predetermined payload.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the CSI transmitted through the PUSCH includes only a periodic CSI for a predetermined number of serving cells.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the CSI transmitted through the PUSCH is a plurality of periodic CSIs for a plurality of serving cells.

11. A user equipment comprising:

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

a processor operatively coupled to the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured for:

receiving configuration information for configuring groups including at least one serving cell from a plurality of serving cells; and

transmitting a periodic channel state information (CSI) for a group selected according to a priority between the groups, when a periodic CSI for each of the groups is configured to be transmitted in a same subframe,

wherein a periodic CSI for each of at least two serving cells is transmitted together when the at least two serving cells are included in the selected group.

12. A user equipment comprising:

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

a processor operatively coupled to the RF unit,

wherein the processor generates channel state information (CSI) for at least one serving cell among a plurality of serving cells, and transmits the generated CSI through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) which is an uplink data channel, wherein if the PUSCH does not have an uplink grant which is corresponding uplink scheduling information and is transmitted by using a resource predetermined by a higher layer signal, the CSI transmitted through the PUSCH is transmitted within a range of a predetermined upper limit.
