Abstract:
A method for transmitting uplink signals comprises multiplexing data and first type control information to output multiplexed signals; mapping the multiplexed signals to a resource region matrix; mapping second type control information to the resource region matrix to overwrite some of the multiplexed signals mapped to specific positions of the resource region matrix corresponding to symbols which are near symbols used for reference signals; and transmitting an output sequence of the resource region matrix to the base station. The second type control information comprises at least one of an ACK/NACK information and a rank indicator (RI), and the first type control information comprises control information other than the rank indicator (RI) and the ACK/NACK information.
Abstract:
A User Equipment (UE) receives control information via a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) at subframe k. A decoder monitors a set of PDCCH candidates a UE-specific search space, among the search spaces, at each of aggregation levels (L) of 1, 2, 4 and 8 control channel elements (CCEs). The UE-specific search space is given based on a modulus operation using variables Yk and C for the subframe k. Yk is defined by: Yk=(A*Yk−1+B) mod D. C is determined based on the number of CCEs (NCCE) divided by the aggregation level (L). A, B, and D are predetermined constant values regardless of the aggregation levels (L). Y−1 is determined based on a UE identifier having 16-bits when k=0. The decoder decodes the control information of the PDCCH.
Abstract:
A User Equipment (UE) receives a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) at subframe k and decodes at the subframe k a set of PDCCH candidates including L control channel elements (CCEs). The L CCEs are contiguously located from a position given by using a variable of Yk and a modulo (N/L) operation, where N represents a total number of CCEs in the subframe k, Yk is defined by Yk=(A*Yk−1)mod D, and A and D are predetermined constant values. When k=0, Y−1 is determined based on a UE identifier having 16-bits.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for performing HARQ performed by a user equipment (UE) are provided. A bundling indicator is received which indicates the number of bundled downlink subframes, and a determination is made whether at least one bundled downlink subframe is missed by comparing the bundling indicator with the number of detected bundled downlink subframes. A representative ACK/NACK signal is generated when no bundled downlink subframe is missed, and the representative ACK/NACK signal is transmitted on an uplink channel. Recovery capability is maximized and packet loss is reduced so that fewer ACK/NACK signals are fed back than downlink packets.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting uplink signals, which include ACK/NACK signals, control signals other than the ACK/NACK signals, and data signals, is disclosed. The method comprises serially multiplexing the control signals and the data signals; sequentially mapping the multiplexed signals within a specific resource region in accordance with a time-first mapping method, the specific resource region including a plurality of symbols and a plurality of virtual subcarriers; and arranging the ACK/NACK signals at both symbols near symbols to which a reference signal of the plurality of symbols is transmitted. Thus, the uplink signals can be transmitted to improve receiving reliability of signals having high priority.

Abstract:
A method for efficiently transmitting and receiving control information through a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is provided. When a User Equipment (UE) receives control information through a PDCCH, the received control information is set to be decoded in units of search spaces, each having a specific start position in the specific subframe. Here, a modulo operation according to a predetermined first constant value (D) is performed on an input value to calculate a first result value, and a modulo operation according to a predetermined first variable value (C) corresponding to the number of candidate start positions that can be used as the specific start position is performed on the calculated first result value to calculate a second result value and an index position corresponding to the second result value is used as the specific start position. Transmitting control information in this manner enables a plurality of UEs to efficiently receive PDCCHs without collisions.
Abstract:
A user equipment receives configuration information from a base station in a wireless communication system. Radio signals carrying configuration control information are received by a user equipment (UE) that includes an ACK/NACK feedback mode indicator. The UE also receives downlink subframes. The ACK/NACK feedback mode indicator is processed to determine if the ACK/NACK feedback mode indicator indicates the user equipment should (a) send an ACK/NACK signal in a one-to-one mapping between a downlink subframe and a corresponding uplink ACK/NACK signal or (b) send an ACK/NACK signal in an N-to-one mapping between N downlink subframes, where N is an integer greater than one, and a corresponding single uplink ACK/NACK signal. One or more ACK/NACK signals is transmitted in accordance with the determination of the processor.
