  • Patent number: 9807697
    Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless communication system supporting multiple antennas. The method is performed by a user equipment (UE) having a first antenna port and a second antenna port, and configured for using a multiple-antenna transmit mode for transmission using multiple antennas and a single-antenna transmit mode for transmission using a single antenna. The UE determines that the multiple-antenna transmit mode is to be used for transmitting the PUCCH, and determines a transmit power offset value to be added to a transmit power of the PUCCH depending on a PUCCH format to be used for transmitting the PUCCH using the first and second antenna ports. The UE transmits the PUCCH by using a first PUCCH resource through the first antenna port, and transmits the PUCCH by using a second PUCCH resource through the second antenna port.

  • Patent number: 9801145
    Abstract: A method for controlling transmission powers by a communication apparatus in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of component carriers. When a sounding reference symbol (SRS) transmission overlaps with a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission in a time domain, the communication apparatus checks whether a total of a PUSCH transmission power for the PUSCH transmission on a first component carrier and a SRS transmission power for the SRS transmission on a second component carrier exceeds a maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus, and drops the SRS transmission if the total of the PUSCH transmission power and the SRS transmission power exceeds the maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9794915
    Abstract: A method for adaptively allocating resources of an uplink control channel according to a system situation is disclosed. If a base station (BS) recognizes the system situation, establishes control information for resource allocation, and transmits the control information to a mobile station (MS), the mobile station (MS) allocates resources for transmitting uplink control information using a specific block or a specific resource distribution method according to the corresponding control information. The system situation may be changed according to the number of users contained in the BS's coverage or the usage of a multi-antenna. The variation of the system situation is actively reflected so that the uplink channel resources can be effectively used.

  • Publication number: 20170279563
    Abstract: A method is provided for performing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) by a user equipment (UE). An uplink (UL) grant for a first subframe of a second serving cell is received through a first serving cell. UL data in the first subframe of the second serving cell is transmitted according to the UL grant. When a not-acknowledgement (NACK) for the UL data is received through a physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) in a subframe i of the first serving cell, the UE performs a non-adaptive retransmission for the UL data in a second subframe of the second serving cell. When a PHICH resource corresponding to the UL data is not present in the subframe i, the UE does not perform the non-adaptive retransmission in the second subframe of the second serving cell.
