Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specially, the present invention relates to a method of maintaining uplink synchronization at a user equipment in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation; configuring plural uplink component carriers, wherein each of the plural uplink component carriers has a respective uplink synchronization timing; receiving a downlink control information (DCI) through a physical downlink control channel of a specific downlink component carrier, wherein the DCI indicates an initiation of random access procedure and includes a carrier indicator field indicating one of the plurality of uplink component carriers; and transmitting a random access preamble through a uplink component carrier indicated by the carrier indicator field among the plural uplink component carriers.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for controlling uplink transmission power in a wireless communication system. A terminal transmits a random access preamble in a secondary cell, and receives a random access response in a primary cell. The terminal determines a transmission power for an uplink channel transmitted in the second cell based on the transmit power command (TPC) within the random access response.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for aggregating carriers in wireless communication systems. In the method, a first carrier is set up, and a second carrier is added in addition to the first carrier. In addition, the first carrier is a time division duplex (TDD) carrier for which an uplink subframe and a downlink subframe are positioned at different times in a frame, and the second carrier is a carrier only for a downlink that consists of downlink subframes.
Abstract:
A method is described for uplink transmission in a wireless communication system. A user equipment determines whether to transmit or drop a sounding reference signal (SRS) on a last symbol in an ith subframe. The determination is performed if multiple timing advance groups (TAGs) are configured and if a portion of the last symbol of the ith subframe for the SRS transmission toward the a serving cell in a first TAG is overlapped with an (i+1)th subframe for transmitting an uplink channel toward a second serving cell in a second TAG.
Abstract:
A method for reporting power headroom value in a wireless access system that supports a carrier aggregation, and a user equipment (UE) for performing the method are discussed. The method according to one embodiment includes receiving a uplink transmission grant allocating uplink resources on a predetermined subframe in an anchor uplink component carrier (UL CC); obtaining power headroom value for the anchor UL CC, if the UE is configured with a simultaneous physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission; and reporting the power headroom value to a base station. The power headroom value is calculated.
Abstract:
A method and mobile station are described for reporting channel quality information for multi-cell cooperation. The mobile station receives a channel quality request message for requesting channel quality information from a base station. The channel quality request message indicates that the mobile station is one of a plurality of candidate mobile stations to perform multi-cell cooperation. The mobile station reports the channel quality information to the base station. The channel quality information includes first channel quality information for the base station and second channel quality information for a neighboring base station.
Abstract:
Provided are a communication method for a cooperative multi-point and a wireless device using the same. The wireless device receives, from a first cooperative multi-point (CoMP) cell, a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a first subframe of a first frequency band, and receives, from a second CoMP cell, a second PDSCH in a second subframe of a second frequency band. A portion or the entire first frequency band is overlapped with the second frequency band. A first start point at which the first PDSCH in said first subframe starts being scheduled is the same as a second start point at which the second PDSCH in said second subframe starts being scheduled.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and a device for transmitting an acknowledgement/not-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) of a terminal which is set with a plurality of serving cells. The method comprises the steps of: receiving data in a subframe n of a second serving cell; and transmitting an ACK/NACK signal for the data in a subframe n+kSCC(n) of a first serving cell connected to the subframe n of the second serving cell, wherein the first serving cell is a primary cell for the terminal to execute an initial connection establishment procedure or a connection reestablishment procedure, and uses a frequency division duplex (FDD) wireless frame, the second serving cell is a secondary cell allocated to the terminal in addition to the primary cell, and uses a time division duplex (TDD) wireless frame, and the kSCC(n) is a previously determined value.
Abstract:
A method for configuring an acknowledgement for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving downlink data through one of a first downlink component carrier and a second downlink component carrier from a base station; and determining whether the first or second downlink component carrier is used for receiving the downlink data. If the first downlink component carrier is used for receiving the downlink data, the resource used for the PUCCH is determined by using a control channel element (CCE). If the second downlink component carrier is used for receiving the downlink data, the resource used for the PUCCH is determined by using a radio resource control (RRC) message. The resource used for the PUCCH is associated with an orthogonal sequence with which the ACK/NACK signal is spread.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting an uplink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method according to one embodiment includes receiving, by the UE, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) via one or more resource units; receiving, by the UE, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) indicated by the received PDCCH; and transmitting, by the UE, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) using a PUCCH resource in response to the received PDSCH. An index of the PUCCH resource is determined by adding a first index offset and a second index offset to a lowest index of the one or more resource units. The first index offset is signaled via the PDCCH and the second index offset is signaled via higher layer signaling.
