Effective method and device for transmitting control information for supporting uplink multi-antenna transmission
Disclosed is a method for transmitting control information on uplink multi-antenna transmission from a base station and the method includes: transmitting DCI that schedules uplink transmission of a first data block and a second data block through a PDCCH; receiving the first and second data blocks scheduled by the DCI; transmitting information indicating ACK or NACK for the received first and second data blocks, respectively, by using a first PHICH for the first data block and a second PHICH resource for the second data block; receiving a retransmission for a negative-acknowledged data block; and transmitting information indicating ACK or NACK of the retransmission of the negative-acknowledged data block by using the first PHICH resource when the number of negative-acknowledged data blocks is not identical to the number of data blocks that the PDCCH indicates.
1. A method at a user equipment (UE) for performing uplink Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission, the method comprising:
transmitting, by the UE to a base station (BS), retransmission of one Negative-Acknowledged transport block (TB) among a first TB and a second TB; and
receiving, by the UE from the BS, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information for the retransmission of the Negative-Acknowledged TB using a fixed physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) resource, regardless of which PHICH resource was used to receive HARQ information indicating Acknowledgement (ACK) or Negative-Acknowledgement (NACK) for each of the first TB and the second TB among first and second PHICH resources,
wherein the fixed PHICH resource is the first PHICH resource which was used to receive HARQ information indicating the ACK or the NACK for the first TB,
wherein the second PHICH resource was used to receive HARQ information indicating the ACK or the NACK for the second TB.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for the retransmission of Negative-Acknowledged TB is not received from the BS.
3. A method by a base station (BS) for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information to a user equipment (UE) in response to uplink Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission, the method comprising:
receiving, by the BS from the UE, retransmission of one Negative-Acknowledged transport block (TB) among a first TB and a second TB; and
transmitting, by the BS to the UE, HARQ information for the retransmission of the Negative-Acknowledged TB using a fixed physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) resource, regardless of which PHICH resource was used to transmit HARQ information indicating Acknowledgement (ACK) or Negative-Acknowledgement (NACK) for each of the first TB and the second TB among first and second PHICH resources,
wherein the fixed PHICH resource is the first PHICH resource which was used to transmit HARQ information indicating the ACK or the NACK for the first TB,
wherein the second PHICH resource was used to transmit HARQ information indicating the ACK or the NACK for the second TB.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for the retransmission of Negative-Acknowledged TB is not transmitted to the UE.
5. A user equipment (UE) for performing uplink Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission, the UE comprising:
a reception module;
a transmission module; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
cause the transmission module to transmit retransmission of one Negative-Acknowledged transport block (TB) among a first TB and a second TB to a base station (BS); and
cause the reception module to receive hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information for the retransmission of the Negative-Acknowledged TB using a fixed physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) resource, regardless of which PHICH resource was used to receive HARQ information indicating Acknowledgement (ACK) or Negative-Acknowledgement (NACK) for each of the first TB and the second TB among first and second PHICH resources,
wherein the fixed PHICH resource is the first PHICH resource which was used to receive HARQ information indicating the ACK or the NACK for the first TB,
wherein the second PHICH resource was used to receive HARQ information indicating the ACK or the NACK for the second TB.
6. A base station (BS) for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information in response to uplink Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission, the BS comprising:
a reception module;
a transmission module; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
cause the reception module to receive retransmission of one Negative-Acknowledged transport block (TB) among a first TB and a second TB from a user equipment (UE); and
cause the transmission module to transmit, to the UE, HARQ information for the retransmission of the Negative-Acknowledged TB using a fixed physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) resource, regardless of which PHICH resource was used to transmit HARQ information indicating Acknowledgement (ACK) or Negative-Acknowledgement (NACK) for each of the first TB and the second TB among first and second PHICH resources,
wherein the fixed PHICH resource is the first PHICH resource which was used to transmit HARQ information indicating the ACK or the NACK for the first TB,
wherein the second PHICH resource was used to transmit HARQ information indicating the ACK or the NACK for the second TB.
