MULTIPLEXING LARGE PAYLOADS OF CONTROL INFORMATION FROM USER EQUIPMENTS

摘要

An apparatus and method for transmitting Uplink Control Information (UCI) over a Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) in a communication system. A method includes acquiring, by a user equipment (UE), from an evolved Node B (eNB), information for a PUCCH format associated with multiple cells; generating, by the UE, UCI to be transmitted, the UCI being arranged in an order of an index of the multiple cells; encoding, by the UE, the UCI; performing, by the UE, a Fourier transform (FT) operation on the encoded UCI; performing, by the UE, an inverse Fourier transform (IFT) operation on the Fourier transformed UCI; and transmitting, by the UE, the inverse Fourier transformed UCI using the PUCCH format.

1. A method for transmitting uplink control information (UCI) over a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a communication system, the method comprising:
acquiring, by a user equipment (UE), from an evolved Node B (eNB), information for a PUCCH format associated with multiple cells; generating, by the UE, UCI to be transmitted, the UCI being arranged in an order of an index of the multiple cells; encoding, by the UE, the UCI; performing, by the UE, a Fourier transform (FT) operation on the encoded UCI; performing, by the UE, an inverse Fourier transform (IFT) operation on the Fourier transformed UCI; and transmitting, by the UE, the inverse Fourier transformed UCI using the PUCCH format.
