Abstract:
An apparatus and method for feeding back hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information are provided. The apparatus and method include user equipment (UE) that first receives a downlink grant (DL-GRANT) which schedules downlink HARQ transmission in a time-frequency bundling window corresponding to an uplink subframe used for feeding back HARQ-ACK, obtains a DL downlink assignment index (DL DAI) in the DL-GRANT, and determines a mapping value of each DL DAI. Then, according to the mapping value of the corresponding DL DAI, the HARQ-ACK bit of each HARQ feedback unit is mapped to a corresponding bit of a feedback bit sequence. According to the method and apparatus provided by the present disclosure, useless HARQ-ACK bits may be effectively removed, and efficiency for feeding back HARQ-ACK may be increased. As such, a downlink peak rate of a UE is ensured.

A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving an uplink Sounding Reference Signal (SRS). The method includes receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration index; identifying an SRS periodicity and at least one offset based on the SRS configuration index; determining a number of SRS transmissions in a radio frame based on an uplink-downlink (UL-DL) subframe configuration, if the SRS periodicity is 2 ms; and transmitting SRSs based on the determined number and the at least one offset.
Abstract:
A method for configuring a search space of a downlink control channel is provided. The method includes determining the parameters for Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (E-PDCCH) candidates of each aggregate level according to the number of Resource Elements (RE) in a subframe and/or the number of bits of Downlink Control Information (DCI) formats, when the parameters for E-PDCCH candidates of E-PDCCH search space is configured, determining, by a User Equipment (UE), the parameters for E-PDCCH candidates according to a current downlink subframe and a detected DCI format, and detecting blindly, by the UE, the E-PDCCH candidates in the E-PDCCH search space corresponding to the parameters for E-PDCCH candidates. The present invention also provides a UE and a base station. Application of the present invention can improve the flexibility of the base station scheduling, and reduce the possibility that the E-PDCCHs of different UEs block each other.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving an uplink Sounding Reference Signal (SRS). The method includes receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration index; identifying an SRS periodicity and at least one offset based on the SRS configuration index; transmitting SRSs four times within a radio frame based on the at least one offset, if the SRS periodicity is 2 ms and an uplink-downlink (UL-DL) subframe configuration 0, 1, 2, or 6 is applied; and transmitting the SRSs twice within the radio frame based on the at least one offset, if the SRS periodicity is 2 ms and to the UL-DL subframe configuration 3, 4, or 5 is applied.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving an SRS. The method includes determining a number of SC-FDMA symbols in an UpPTS; receiving index information for an SRS; determining an SRS offset and an SRS period, based on the index information; and transmitting the SRS, based on the SRS offset and the SRS period. If the index information includes an integer from 0 to 9, the SRS is transmitted twice in a period of 5 ms, and if the UpPTS includes two SC-FDMA symbols, a first symbol is indicated by SRS offset 0 and a second symbol is indicated by SRS offset 1, but if the UpPTS includes one SC-FDMA symbol, the first symbol is indicated by the SRS offset 1. If the index information includes an integer from 10 to 644, the SRS period is selected among 5 ms, 10 ms, 20 ms, 40 ms, 80 ms, 160 ms, and 320 ms.
Abstract:
A method for controlling an uplink (UL) power in a multi-subframe scheduling system is provided. The method includes receiving by a User Equipment (UE), a multi-subframe uplink (UL) scheduling instruction or Physical Downlink Control Channel CHannel (PDCCH) data of a Downlink Control Information (DCI) format 3/3 A of the UE, in a Downlink (DL) subframe where the multi-subframe UL scheduling instruction is transmitted, wherein the multi-subframe UL scheduling instruction or the PDCCH data with DCI format 3/3 A comprises a power controlling command of the PUSCH and determining, by the UE, a transmitting power of the PUSCH of each UL subframe, which is scheduled by the multi-subframe UL scheduling instruction, based on a power controlling command value, and transmitting corresponding PUSCH data based on the transmitting power calculated.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are provided for transmitting Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgment (HARQ-ACK) feedback information by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, when Component Carriers (CCs) configured for the UE include a Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) CC and a Time Division Duplexing (TDD) CC. The method includes determining a HARQ-ACK timing and a CC for transmitting the HARQ-ACK feedback information, based on a composition structure of the CCs configured for the UE, and transmitting the HARQ-ACK feedback information on a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) of the determined CC, based on the determined HARQ-ACK timing.
