METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PUCCH RESOURCE ALLOCATION OF MTC

摘要

A method of PUCCH resource allocation for a MTC device is disclosed, wherein comprising: receiving a physical downlink data channel (PDSCH); determining corresponding physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource based on one or more following parameters used for the PDSCH transmission: MTC band index, the lowest physical resource block (PRB) index and antenna port index; and transmitting ACK/NACK of the PDSCH on the determined PUCCH resource. A method of PUCCH resource allocation for a MTC device is disclosed, wherein comprising: receiving an initial PUCCH resource value indicated in a DL MSG during a PRACH procedure; transmitting PUCCH on the initial PUCCH resource; receiving a reconfigured PUCCH resource value indicated in a higher layer signaling; and transmitting PUCCH on the reconfigured PUCCH resource.
