Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for transmitting and receiving signaling, by a User Equipment (UE) with reduced processing capabilities, to conserve power are provided. A method for transmitting from a network a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) to a first User Equipment (UE) from a first class of UEs or to a second UE from a second class of UEs, includes transmitting a PDSCH to the first UE using a first bandwidth unit; and transmitting a PDSCH to the second UE using a second bandwidth unit, wherein the second bandwidth unit is smaller than the first bandwidth unit.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for wireless communication. First offset information and second offset information are identified. A size of uplink data for a user equipment (UE) is identified. The uplink data is transmitted with at least one of acknowledgement/non-acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) information and channel quality indicator (CQI) information on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). A number of symbols for the ACK/NACK information is determined based on the first offset information and the size of uplink data. A number of symbols for the CQI information is determined based on the second offset information and the size of uplink data.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for wireless communications. Configuration information including a resource start offset is received. Downlink control information (DCI) is received on an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH) using at least one of control channel elements (CCEs). The DCI includes a resource offset for a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback. A resource of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is determined based on a first CCE of the CCEs, the resource offset in the DCI, and the resource start offset in the configuration information. A HARQ-ACK signal is transmitted on the PUCCH using the determined resource to a base station.

An apparatus and method for transmitting Uplink Control Information (UCI) over a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) in a communication system. A method includes acquiring, by a user equipment (UE), from an evolved Node B (eNB), at least one physical resource block (PRB) information; generating, by the UE, UCI to be transmitted, the UCI being arranged in an order of an index of multiple cells; encoding, by the UE, the UCI; performing, by the UE, a Fourier transform (FT) operation on the encoded UCI; performing, by the UE, an inverse Fourier transform (IFT) operation on the Fourier transformed UCI; and transmitting, by the UE, the inverse Fourier transformed UCI based on a PUCCH format associated with the multiple cells and the at least one PRB information.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting, by a user equipment, a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) are provided. The method includes identifying power of the HARQ-ACK based on transmission power control information in first downlink control information for a primary cell; identifying, for a time division duplexing (TDD) and a plurality of configured cells, a resource for transmission of the HARQ-ACK based on transmission power control information in second downlink control information with a downlink assignment index (DAI) value greater than 1; and transmitting the HARQ-ACK based on the resource on the primary cell.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting symbols in wireless communication system. A method includes determining a channel quality indicator (CQI) and one or more acknowledgements; generating a first symbol based on the CQI;generating a second symbol based on the one or more acknowledgements; and transmitting the first symbol and the second symbol in a slot. One of a first code and a second code is applied for generating the second symbol, if the one or more acknowledgements is one bit. One of the first code, the second code, a third code, and a fourth code is applied for generating the second symbol, if the one or more acknowledgements are two bits.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for a User Equipment (UE) configured with multiple cells in a DownLink (DL) of a Time Division Duplex (TDD) communication system to determine the coding method for acknowledgement information bits as a function of their number, to apply bundling to the acknowledgement information bits when their number exceeds a first predetermined value, and to partition the acknowledgement information bits, possibly together with other control information bits, into two separate codewords when their total number exceeds a second predetermined value.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are provided for transmitting a set of acknowledgement (ACK) bits, by a user equipment (UE). A first subset of ACK bits is transmitted. A second subset of ACK bits is transmitted. The first subset of ACK bits is a response to a reception of one or more scheduling assignments (SAs) for a first cell group, and the second subset of ACK bits is a response to a reception of one or more SAs for a second cell group. The first subset of ACK bits is different from the second subset of ACK bits. A union of the first subset of ACK bits and the second subset of ACK bits is the set of ACK bits that the UE transmits in a subframe.
