Abstract: A method for transmitting UCI, UE and base station. The method for transmitting includes: mapping, by UE, UCI onto time-frequency resources, wherein a subframe where the UCI is located contains one uplink reference signal or contains no an uplink reference signal; and transmitting the UCI to a base station via a PUSCH. An uplink reference signal occupies only one OFDM symbol or occupies no an OFDM symbol in a subframe, which may reduce waste of resources, and correspondingly change resource mapping of the UCI, thereby obtaining better decoding performance.

Abstract: A controller and method are usable to control the provision of electrical power from a local electrical network to a power grid. If it is determined that changes in the power grid voltage are correlated with the provision of power to the power grid, the power that is being provided to the power grid is manipulated so that the rate of change of the wattage that is provided to the power grid does not exceed a predetermined ramp rate. Such a manipulation is accomplished by adjusting an operational parameter of one or more electrical loads that are connected with the local electrical network.
