Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for transmitting uplink control information in a wireless communication system. A method for multiplexing uplink control information and uplink data and for transmitting the multiplexed uplink control information and uplink data according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the following steps: encoding a first transmission block and a second transmission block to generate a first codeword and a second codeword; mapping the first codeword and the second codeword to one or more layers, respectively; and transmitting, via one or more antenna ports, each layer to which the first codeword and the second codeword are mapped, wherein the uplink control information is multiplexed only to either the first transmission block or to the second transmission block.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for multiplexing and transmitting uplink control information (UCI) with uplink data in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: encoding a plurality of transport blocks (TBs) each containing the uplink data to generate a plurality of codewords (CWs); mapping each of the plurality of CWs to one or more layers; and transmitting the plurality of CWs mapped on the one or more layers through one or more antenna ports, wherein w…
