Abstract:
A method for uplink transmission in a wireless communication system, the method includes determining, by a user equipment (UE), whether the first uplink signal to be transmitted toward a first cell belonging to a first timing advance group (TAG) at an nth subframe overlaps the second uplink signal to be transmitted toward a second cell belonging to a second TAG at an (n+1)st subframe; dropping, by the UE, the first uplink signal at the nth subframe, if a total transmission power including the first and second uplink signals exceeds a maximum transmit power, where n is an integer≧1; and transmitting the second uplink signal without the first uplink signal which is dropped.

Provided are a method and an apparatus for transmitting uplink control information performed by a user equipment in a wireless communication system. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a first parameter for indicating whether to simultaneously transmit a first combination of an acknowledgement/negative-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) and a channel quality indicator (CQI), and a second parameter for indicating whether to multiplex a second combination of an ACK/NACK and the CQI and transmitting same as a second physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format; and multiplexing the first combination of the ACK/NACK or the second combination of ACK/NACK with the CQI and transmitting same as a first PUCCH format or the second PUCCH format, based on the first parameter and the second parameter.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) signals by an apparatus in a wireless communication system. The apparatus spreads ACK/NACKs using spreading codes of a spreading factor, the spreading factor being one of a first spreading factor equal to 2 and a second spreading factor equal to 4. The apparatus transmits one or more physical hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) indicator channel (PHICH) groups allocated in units of four resource elements, each PHICH group carrying up to four ACK/NACK signals for the first spreading factor, and up to eight ACK/NACK signals for the second spreading factor. A total number of allocated PHICH groups for the first spreading factor is determined as twice a total number of allocated PHICH groups for the second spreading factor. Each ACK/NACK signal is identified using an index pair of a PHICH group index and a spreading code index.
Abstract:
A method and a user equipment for controlling an uplink transmission at in a wireless communications system are discussed, the user equipment being configured with multiple component carriers. The method according to an embodiment includes receiving, from a base station, Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration information for a channel status information report; and performing a procedure for periodically transmitting channel status information to the base station. If the corresponding downlink component carrier is in an active state at a time for transmitting the channel status information, a transmission of the channel status information report is performed at the time. If the corresponding downlink component carrier is in a non-active state at a time for transmitting the channel status information report, the transmission of the channel status information report is skipped at the time. Signal reception is limited by the user equipment on a downlink component carrier in the non-active state.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for configuring a starting position of a control channel in a wireless communication system, and a terminal using the same. The method includes receiving duration information about a physical downlink control channel from the first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of a downlink subframe; and configuring a first OFDM symbol after OFDM symbols indicated by the duration information, as a starting point of an enhanced-physical downlink control channel. The downlink subframe includes a plurality of subcarriers in a frequency domain and 12 or 14 OFDM symbols in a time domain. The PDCCH includes the first N (N is a natural number of from 1 to 4) number of OFDM symbols of the downlink subframe. The duration information indicates the N number of OFDM symbols. The E-PDCCH comprises the starting point to the last OFDM symbol of the downlink subframe.
Abstract:
A method is provided for uplink transmission in a wireless communication system. A user equipment (UE) configures multiple timing advance groups (TAGs), determines a power for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) toward a first serving cell in a first TAG, determines a power for transmitting an uplink channel toward a second serving cell in a second TAG, determines whether a portion of a last symbol of an ith subframe for transmitting the SRS toward the first serving cell in the first TAG is overlapped with an (i+1)th subframe for transmitting the uplink channel toward the second serving cell in the second TAG, and drops the SRS transmission on the last symbol in the ith subframe if a total power of the SRS and the uplink channel exceeds a maximum value on the overlapped portion of the last symbol.

Provided are a method and an apparatus for transmitting a reception confirmation in a wireless system. A terminal determines at least one downlink sub-frame for ACK/NACK feedback from each of a plurality of serving cells and determines the number of ACK/NACK bits for the plurality of serving cells. The terminal generates bundled ACK/NACK bits by arraying the ACK/NACK bits in the ascending order of the cell index of the plurality of serving cells, and transmits the bundled ACK/NACK bits.

A reference signal transmission method in a downlink MIMO system is disclosed. The downlink MIMO system supports a first UE supporting N transmission antennas among a total of M transmission antennas (where M>N) and a second UE supporting the M transmission antennas. The method includes transmitting, by a base station (BS), subframe-associated information which designates a first subframe in which data for the first UE and the second UE is transmitted and a second subframe in which data only for the second UE can be transmitted within a radio frame having a plurality of subframes, and transmitting the first subframe and the second subframe. Reference signals corresponding to antenna ports ‘0’ to ‘N−1’ of the N antennas are mapped to the first subframe, and reference signals corresponding to antenna ports ‘0’ to ‘M−1’ of the M antennas are mapped to the second subframe.

The LC device receives configuration information for a random access procedure from a base station. The configuration information includes resource information for transmitting a random access preamble, and the resource information is specific to the LC device. The LC device transmits, to a base station, a random access preamble on a random access resource determined based on the resource information. The LC device receives a random access response in response to the random access preamble. The random access resource is configured for each region of a coverage of the base station.
