DETERMINATION OF CARRIERS AND MULTIPLEXING FOR UPLINK CONTROL INFORMATION TRANSMISSION

摘要

Embodiments contemplate methods and devices that may select uplink (UL) transmission resources for transmitting uplink control information (UCI). A determination may be made that UCI should be transmitted. A physical channel resource for transmission of the UCI may be selected and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WRTU) may transmit the UCI over a physical uplink channel capable of supporting multiple component carriers using the selected physical channel resource. The selection of the physical channel resource may include at least one of: selecting a pre-determined UL component carrier (CC) for uplink transmission on a physical uplink control shared channel (PUSCH) upon a PUSCH resource being available in a subframe, or, selecting a pre-determined UL CC for uplink transmission on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) capable of UCI transmission in the subframe upon a PUSCH resource not being available in the subframe.
