Abstract

A wireless communication system is disclosed. A method and apparatus for allowing a user equipment (UE) to transmit uplink control information through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) are disclosed. A method for allowing a UE to transmit uplink control information through a PUSCH in a wireless communication system includes receiving configuration information about a plurality of PUSCH feedback modes, identifying information indicating a specific PUSCH feedback mode for the PUSCH by using uplink allocation information for the PUSCH, and transmitting the uplink control information through the PUSCH in accordance with the specific PUSCH feedback mode

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of transmitting aperiodic channel status information (CSI) at a user equipment (UE) through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for scheduling the PUSCH, the PDCCH including 2-bit level indicator for requesting aperiodic CSI report; and transmitting aperiodic CSI for at least one of a plurality of component carriers through the PUSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, the at least one of the plurality of component carriers being indicated by the 2-bit level indicator in the PDCCH, wherein the plurality of component carriers includes component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report, the component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report are configured by using radio resource control (RRC) configuration information, and each of the component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report includes one or more component carriers.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a value of the 2-bit level indicator indicates one of the component carrier sets for which the aperiodic CSI report is triggered.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the component carrier sets includes two or more component carriers.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of component carriers belongs to a component carrier set indicated by the 2-bit level indicator in the PDCCH among the component carrier sets.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDCCH includes resource block (RB) assignment information and a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process index for the PUSCH.

6 . A method of receiving aperiodic channel status information (CSI) at a base station (BS) through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for scheduling the PUSCH, the PDCCH including 2-bit level indicator for requesting aperiodic CSI report; and receiving aperiodic CSI for at least one of a plurality of component carriers through the PUSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, the at least one of the plurality of component carriers being indicated by the 2-bit level indicator in the PDCCH, wherein the plurality of component carriers includes component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report, the component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report are configured by using radio resource control (RRC) configuration information, and each of the component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report includes one or more component carriers.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein a value of the 2-bit level indicator indicates one of the component carrier sets for which the aperiodic CSI report is triggered.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the component carrier sets includes two or more component carriers.

9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of component carriers belongs to a component carrier set indicated by the 2-bit level indicator in the PDCCH among the component carrier sets.

10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the PDCCH includes resource block (RB) assignment information and a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process index for the PUSCH.

11 . A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit aperiodic channel status information (CSI) through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for scheduling the PUSCH, the PDCCH including 2-bit level indicator for requesting aperiodic CSI report, and
transmit aperiodic CSI for at least one of a plurality of component carriers through the PUSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, the at least one of the plurality of component carriers being indicated by the 2-bit level indicator in the PDCCH,
wherein the plurality of component carriers includes component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report, the component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report are configured by using radio resource control (RRC) configuration information, and each of the component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report includes one or more component carriers.

12 . The UE of claim 11 , wherein a value of the 2-bit level indicator indicates one of the component carrier sets for which the aperiodic CSI report is triggered.

13 . The UE of claim 11 , wherein at least one of the component carrier sets includes two or more component carriers.

14 . The UE of claim 11 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of component carriers belongs to a component carrier set indicated by the 2-bit level indicator in the PDCCH among the component carrier sets.

15 . The UE of claim 11 , wherein the PDCCH includes resource block (RB) assignment information and a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process index for the PUSCH.

16 . A base station (BS) configured to receive aperiodic channel status information (CSI) through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for scheduling the PUSCH, the PDCCH including 2-bit level indicator for requesting aperiodic CSI report, and
receive aperiodic CSI for at least one of a plurality of component carriers through the PUSCH scheduled by the PDCCH, the at least one of the plurality of component carriers being indicated by the 2-bit level indicator in the PDCCH,
wherein the plurality of component carriers includes component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report, the component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report are configured by using radio resource control (RRC) configuration information, and each of the component carrier sets for the aperiodic CSI report includes one or more component carriers.

17 . The BS of claim 16 , wherein a value of the 2-bit level indicator indicates one of the component carrier sets for which the aperiodic CSI report is triggered.

18 . The BS of claim 16 , wherein at least one of the component carrier sets includes two or more component carriers.

19 . The BS of claim 16 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of component carriers belongs to a component carrier set indicated by the 2-bit level indicator in the PDCCH among the component carrier sets.

20 . The BS of claim 16 , wherein the PDCCH includes resource block (RB) assignment information and a hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process index for the PUSCH.
