Abstract

A method for and apparatus for transmitting uplink transmission in a wireless communication system supporting multiple carriers is provided. A wireless device transmits the uplink transmission via an alternative Primary serving cell or Secondary serving cell in uplink between the UE and the eNB. Herein the uplink transmission is configured by enabling information with corresponding serving cell as the Primary serving cell or the Secondary serving cell for the uplink transmission. And then, a PUCCH and/or PUSCH can performed on the enabling serving cell and/or cells in consideration of power control more accurately and efficiently.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for transmitting uplink transmission in a wireless communication system supporting multiple carriers, performed by a wireless device, the method comprising:
receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) order on either a primary serving cell (PCell) or a secondary serving cell (SCell) to change the unlink transmission for the wireless device,
wherein the PCell or the SCell for the uplink transmission is changed alternatively, based on whether the PDCCH order is received on the PCell or the SCell, and
wherein the PDCCH order is received in a random access channel (RACH) process;
if the PDCCH order is received on the PCell,
enabling the PCell for the uplink transmission, and
transmitting a set of uplink channels via the enabled PCell for the uplink transmission,
wherein the SCell is disabled, while the PCell is enabled for the uplink transmission; and

if the PDCCH order is received on the SCell,
enabling the SCell for the uplink transmission, and
transmitting the set of uplink channels via the enabled SCell for the unlink transmission,
wherein the PCell is disabled, while the SCell is enabled for the uplink transmission,

wherein each uplink channel in the set of uplink channels includes at least one of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
configuring the PUCCH and the PUSCH via each of the PCell and the SCell separately,
wherein the PUCCH is transmitted via the PCell and the PUSCH is transmitted via the PCell or the SCell, based on the received PDCCH order.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
configuring the PUCCH and the PUSCH via each of the PCell and the SCell separately,
wherein the PUSCH is transmitted via the PCell and the PUCCH is transmitted via the PCell or the SCell, based on the received PDCCH order.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a medium access control (MAC) signal which includes deactivating or activating the PCell and the SCell for the uplink transmission.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a paging message to change alternatively the PCell or the SCell for the uplink transmission.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a Carrier Indicator Field (CIF) in downlink control information (DCI) to change alternatively the PCell or the SCell for the uplink transmission.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting a periodic Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) via either the enabled PCell or the enabled SCell transmitting the PUCCH,
wherein at least one of a channel-state-information (CSI) and an uplink control information (UCI) is transmitted via either the enabled PCell or the enabled SCell transmitting the PUCCH.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting a periodic Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) via either the enabled PCell or the enabled SCell transmitting the PUSCH,
wherein at least one of a channel-state-information (CSI) and an uplink control information (UCI) is transmitted via either the enabled PCell or the enabled SCell transmitting the PUSCH.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
changing physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission timing with a subframe dynamically, when the PRACH is scheduled to be transmitted via the PCell and the set of uplink channels is scheduled to be transmitted via the SCell at the subframe.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting the PUCCH or the PUSCH using a reference configuration of the PCell or the SCell when a different Time Division Duplex (TDD) with two more serving cells is configured,
wherein, an ACK (Acknowledgement)/NACK (Non-Acknowledgement) for the PCell is transmitted by following the PCell configuration and an ACK/NACK for the SCell is transmitted by following the SCell configuration.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining an ACK (Acknowledgement)/NACK (Non-Acknowledgement) timing via a serving cell,
wherein the ACK/NACK timing for a plurality of downlink subframes is mapped to one of sets of uplink subframes and/or channels.

12. A wireless device for transmitting uplink transmission in a wireless communication system supporting multiple carriers, the wireless device comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
a processor, operatively coupled with the transceiver and the memory, and configured to:
control the transceiver to receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) order on either a primary serving cell (PCell) or a secondary serving cell (SCell) to change the uplink transmission for the wireless device,
wherein the PCell or the SCell for the uplink transmission is changed alternatively, based on whether the PDCCH order is received on the PCell or the SCell, and
wherein the PDCCH order is received in a random access channel (RACH) process:
if the PDCCH order is received on the PCell,
enable the PCell for the uplink transmission, and
control the transceiver to transmit a set of uplink channels via the enabled PCell for the uplink transmission,
wherein the SCell is disabled, while the PCell is enabled for the u link transmission; and

if the PDCCH order is received on the SCell,
enable the SCell for the uplink transmission, and
control the transceiver to transmit the set of uplink channels via the enabled SCell for the uplink transmission,
wherein the PCell is disabled, while the SCell is enabled for the uplink transmission,

wherein each uplink channel in the set of uplink channels includes at least one of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
