  • Publication number: 20160353392
    Abstract: A method is provided 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 control channel (PUCCH) transmission in a time domain, the communication apparatus checks as to whether a total of a PUCCH transmission power for the PUCCH 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. The SRS transmission is dropped by the communication apparatus if the total of the PUCCH transmission power and the SRS transmission power exceeds the maximum transmission power configured for the communication apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9510334
    Abstract: A method of reporting control information in a wireless communication system in which M downlink time divisional duplex (TDD) subframes are associated with an uplink TDD subframe. A user equipment (UE) receives resource allocation information used for a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format. The UE selects a PUCCH format among a plurality of PUCCH formats including the first PUCCH format and a second PUCCH format. The second PUCCH format is selected if the UE receives a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in one of the M downlink TDD subframes on the primary cell. The UE receives a second PDSCH with a downlink assignment index (DAI) in one of the M downlink TDD subframes on the primary cell. The UE does not receive a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) corresponding to the first PDSCH on the primary cell.

  • Publication number: 20160323831
    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.
