[DESCRIPTION]
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to mobile communication
technology, and more particularly, to technology of
transmitting uplink signals including ACK/NACK signals,
control signals other than the ACK/NACK signals, and data
signals.
BACKGROUND ART
A user equipment (UE) of a mobile communication
system transmits various signals through an uplink. Uplink
signals transmitted by the user equipment can be segmented
into data signals and control signals. Also, examples of
the control signals transmitted to the uplink include
uplink ACK/NACK signals for HARQ communication, channel
quality indicator (CQI) information, and precoding matrix
index (PMI).
3GPP LTE system uses a single carrier frequency
division multiplexing access (SC-FDMA) scheme for uplink
signal transmission. Also, the 3GPP LTE system prescribes
that data signals and control signals among the uplink
signals are first multiplexed and ACK/NACK signals are

transmitted to the multiplexed signals by puncturing the
data or control signals when uplink ACK/NACK signal
transmission is required for downlink data. Hereinafter, in
order that the ACK/NACK signals are divided from control
signals other than the ACK/NACK signals, the control
signals will mean those except for the ACK/NACK signals.
Meanwhile, Athens conference (#50) for 3GPP LTE has
decided that data information is rate matched together with
control information when the control information is
multiplexed with the data information, wherein the control
information is transmitted near a reference signal. This is
to improve channel estimation performance by approximating
all the control signals to the reference signal as the
control signals generally require higher reliability than
the data signals.
However, the control signals transmitted to the
uplink include various signals as described above, and the
ACK/NACK signals require higher reliability than the other
control signals. In this case, when uplink ACK/NACK signal
transmission is required while all the control signals are
transmitted by approximating to the reference signal,
problems occur in that the ACK/NACK signals can neither be
transmitted by puncturing the control signals arranged near
the reference signal nor be transmitted near the reference

signal.
In this respect, a technology of transmitting uplink
signals by efficiently arranging ACK/NACK signals and other
control signals in a resource region considering priority
among them is required.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a
method for transmitting uplink signals, which substantially
obviates one or more problems due to limitations and
disadvantages of the related art.
An object of the present invention is to provide a
method for transmitting uplink signals by efficiently
arranging ACK/NACK signals and other control signals in a
resource region considering priority among them.
Another object of the present invention is to provide
transmitting uplink signals using the aforementioned signal
arrangement.
TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS
To achieve these objects and other advantages and in
accordance with the purpose of the invention, as embodied
and broadly described herein, the present invention

provides a method for transmitting uplink signals, which
include ACK/NACK signals, control signals other than the
ACK/NACK signals, and data signals. The method comprises
serially multiplexing the control signals and the data
signals; sequentially mapping the multiplexed signals
within a specific resource region in accordance with a
time-first mapping method, the specific resource region
including a plurality of symbols and a plurality of virtual
subcarriers; and arranging the ACK/NACK signals at both
symbols near to symbols through which a reference signal is
transmitted.
At this time, the ACK/NACK signals are overwritten on
a part of the multiplexed signals. And, the part of the
multiplexed signals, on which the ACK/NACK signals are
overwritten, includes one or more of the control signals
and the data signals.
Also, the method further comprises performing a
discrete fourier transform (DFT) for the signals mapped on
the specific resource region in a unit of each symbols of
the plurality of symbols in accordance with each index of
the plurality of virtual subcarriers; performing an inverse
fast fourier transform (IFFT) for the DFT symbol unit
signals and attaching a cyclic prefix (CP) the signals; and
transmitting the symbol unit signals attached with the CP

as single carrier frequency division multiplexing access
(SC-FDMA) symbols.
Also, the method further comprises transmitting the
signals mapped on the specific resource region through a
physical uplink sharing channel (PUSCH).
In another aspect of the present invention, the
present invention provides a method for transmitting uplink
signals, which include ACK/NACK signals, control signals
other than the ACK/NACK signals, and data signals. The
method comprises performing channel coding for each of the
data signals, the control signals, and the ACK/NACK
signals; serially multiplexing the channel coded data and
control signals; sequentially mapping the multiplexed
signals in accordance with a time-first mapping method
within a specific resource region in accordance with a
time-first mapping method, the specific resource region
including a plurality of symbols and a plurality of virtual
subcarriers; and arranging the ACK/NACK signals at both
symbols near to the symbols through which a reference
signal is transmitted.
At this time, the step of performing channel coding
for the data signals includes attaching a CRC for a
transport block (TB) to a transport block for transmission
of the data signals; segmenting the transport block

attached with the CRC for the transport block in a code
block unit and attaching a CRC for a code block to the
segmented code block; performing channel coding for the
data attached with the CRC for a code block; and performing
rate matching and code block concatenation for the channel
coded data.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS
According to the aforementioned embodiments of the
present invention, it is possible to transmit uplink
signals by efficiently arranging ACK/NACK signals and other
control signals in a resource region in accordance with
priority among them.
In addition, the ACK/NACK signals having high
priority can be set in such a manner that they acquire more
channel estimation effect.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the preferred embodiments of the present
invention will be described with reference to the

accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the
detailed description, which will be disclosed along with
the accompanying drawings, is intended to describe the
exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and is not
intended to describe a unique embodiment with which the
present invention can be carried out. Hereinafter, the
following detailed description includes detailed matters to
provide full understanding of the present invention.
However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art
that the present invention can be carried out without the
detailed matters.
Meanwhile, in some cases, to prevent the concept of
the present invention from being ambiguous, structures and
apparatuses of the known art will be omitted, or will be
shown in the form of a block diagram based on main
functions of each structure and apparatus. Also, wherever
possible, the same reference numbers will be used
throughout the drawings and the specification to refer to
the same or like parts.
As described above, the embodiment of the present
invention is intended to provide a method for transmitting
uplink signals by efficiently arranging ACK/NACK signals
and other control signals in a resource region considering
priority among them. To this end, a detailed method for

transmitting uplink signals in a 3GPP LTE system will be
described.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a transmitter
to describe a method for transmitting signals in accordance
with a single carrier frequency division multiplexing
access (SC-FDMA) scheme.
As described above, a 3GPP LTE system transmits
uplink signals in accordance with a single carrier
frequency division multiplexing access (SC-FDMA) scheme. In
detail, direct-to-parallel conversion is performed for
information sequences to be transmitted, to perform a
discrete fourier transform (DFT) (101). The DFT is
performed for the signals converted to the parallel
sequences (102), and then inverse fast fourier transform
(IFFT) can be performed to obtain a single carrier feature
(103). At this time, a length of information inserted to an
IFFT module 103 may not be equal to a size of the IFFT
module 103. However, it is required that the DFT result
performed by the DFT module 102 should be mapped with
continuous IFFT input indexes.
Values undergone IFFT are again converted to serial
signals by a parallel-to-serial conversion module 104.
Afterwards, the signals are changed to a format of OFDM
symbols by a cyclic prefix (CP) (105) and then transmitted

to a real time space.
The aforementioned SC-FDMA scheme has advantages in
that it has low peak power-to-average power ratio (PAPR)
and/or cubic metric (CM) while maintaining a single carrier
feature. However, in order to satisfy low PAPR/CM condition
while maintaining a single carrier feature, it is required
that information undergone DFT precoding should be input to
the IFFT module 103 in an OFDM format by mapping with
continuous indexes. In other words, it is required that DFT
precoded information should be inserted to continuous
subcarriers of OFDM. Accordingly, it is preferable that
information data (for example, control information and data
information) having different features are multiplexed
together when they are transmitted to an uplink so that
they undergo DFT precoding together and then are
transmitted in an OFDM format.
Hereinafter, a procedure of multiplexing data
information and control information will be described.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a procedure of
multiplexing data information, control information and
ACK/NACK signals for uplink signal transmission.
Data information multiplexed with control information
is segmented into several code blocks (CB) in accordance
with a size of a transport block (TB) to be transmitted to

the uplink after CRC for TB is attached to the TB (S201 and
S202). Afterwards, the CRC for CB is attached to several
CBs (S203), and channel coding is performed for the result
value obtained by attaching the CRC for CB to several CBs
(S204). Also, after the channel coded data undergo rate
matching (S205), concatenation among CBs is performed
(S206) . The CBs are then multiplexed with control
information (S230). Meanwhile, the aforementioned steps may-
be subject to channel coding chain for a data transport
block.
Channel coding can be performed for the control
information separately from the data information (S211).
The channel coded control information can later be
multiplexed with the data information by a data and control
channel rate mapping multiplexer (S230).
Channel coding can be performed for the ACK/NACK
signals separately from the data and control signals (S221).
Some of the uplink signals in which the data and control
signals are multiplexed (S23 0) may be transmitted to the
uplink through puncturing (S240).
As described above, the control information that can
be transmitted together with the data information is
segmented into two types, i.e., uplink (UL) ACK/NACK
signals for downlink data and other control information.

The uplink ACK/NACK signals for downlink data are
transmitted only when downlink data exist. A user equipment
may not know whether to receive downlink data even though
it should transmit the UL ACK/NACK signals. Accordingly,
the user equipment segments the two types of control
information from each other and transmits them to the
uplink together with the data information. Hereinafter, in
order to segment the ACK/NACK signals from the control
signals transmitted separately from the ACK/NACK signals,
"control signals" will mean those other than the ACK/NACK
signals. In more detailed embodiment, the control signals
may mean those other than a rank indicator as well as the
ACK/NACK signals. In other words, in a specific embodiment,
the control signals may include CQI and PMI. However, since
the following description relates to efficient arrangement
among the control signals, the data signals and the
ACK/NACK signals, if the control signals are those other
than the ACK/NACK signals, their detailed type will not be
suggested.
When the data information is transmitted to the
uplink, the data information can be transmitted together
with the control information. Also, ACK/NACK information
can be transmitted together with the data information and
the control information. Moreover, only the data

information and the ACK/NACK information can be transmitted
to the uplink.
Transmission information sequences obtained to
transmit the data information multiplexed with the control
information or the ACK/NACK information can be transmitted
in accordance with the SC-FDMA scheme. At this time, the
transmission information sequences can be mapped in a
resource region in accordance with a time-first mapping
method.
For example, it is supposed that the information
sequences are transmitted using one resource block, i.e.,
twelve (12) OFDM subcarriers and information is transmitted
through one sub-frame. Also, it is supposed that one sub-
frame includes fourteen (14) SC-FDMA symbols and two of the
fourteen SC-FDMS symbols are used as references signals
that are pilot signals. At this time, the number of
modulation symbols of the information that can be
transmitted to the uplink becomes 12*12=144.
144 information sequence symbols can be transmitted
through 12 virtual subcarriers and 12 SC-FDMA symbols. This
can be represented by a matrix structure of 12*12 called a
time-frequency mapper. The information sequences to be
transmitted to the uplink are mapped one by one based on
the SC-FDMA symbols. This is called time-first mapping

because the SC-FDMA symbols are segmented temporally.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of
mapping information sequences according to one embodiment
of the present invention in accordance with a time-first
mapping method, and FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are diagrams
illustrating a method for transmitting information, which
is mapped in accordance with the time-first mapping method
as illustrated in FIG. 3, in accordance with the SC-FDMA
scheme.
The information sequences to be transmitted to the
uplink can be arranged temporally in the time-frequency
mapper as illustrated in FIG. 3. In other words, 12
information data are mapped temporally in a first virtual
subcarrier region, and then subsequent 12 information data
are mapped temporally in a second virtual subcarrier region.
After time-frequency mapping is performed as above,
the sequences arranged on a frequency axis as illustrated
in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 undergo DFT and then are inserted to a
desired frequency band. Afterwards, IFFT and CP insertion
are performed for each frequency region information, which
can be transmitted as SC-FDMA symbols. FIG. 4 and FIG. 5
illustrate a procedure of generating and transmitting the
SC-FDMA symbols. FIG. 4 illustrates a case where a normal
CP is used, and FIG. 5 illustrates a case where an extended

CP is used.
When data are transmitted to the uplink, the control
information can also be transmitted thereto. At this time,
the control information and the data information are
multiplexed through rate matching. However, the ACK/NACK
information can be transmitted in such a manner that it is
overwritten in bit streams of the data information or
symbols where data information and control information are
multiplexed. In this case, "overwritten" means that
specific information mapped in the resource region is
skipped and the corresponding region is mapped. Also,
"overwritten" means that the length of the entire
information is maintained equally even after specific
information is inserted. This overwriting procedure may be
represented by puncturing.
Generally, the control information requires higher
reliability than the data information. To this end, the
control information should be multiplexed or inserted near
the reference signal. In this case, it is possible to
obtain the effect of channel estimation performance,
thereby expecting improvement of performance.
However, since the ACK/NACK information also requires
high reliability in a receiver, if the general control
information is arranged near the reference signal, priority

between the control information and the ACK/NACK signals
should be considered.
Accordingly, methods for multiplexing data
information bit streams, control information bit streams,
and ACK/NACK information sequences at different priorities
will be described as various embodiments of the present
invention.
According to one embodiment of the present invention,
the control information is multiplexed serially with the
data information, and is mapped with a multiplexing region
in accordance with the aforementioned time-first mapping
method. In this case, "multiplexed serially" means that the
data information is mapped with a sequence corresponding to
the multiplexed result directly after the control
information is mapped with the sequence, or vice versa.
Also, according to one embodiment of the present invention,
the ACK/NACK signals are arranged to be transmitted through
both symbols near a symbol through which the reference
signal is transmitted.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method for
transmitting uplink signals in accordance with one
embodiment of the present invention.
According to this embodiment, when the control
information and the data information are multiplexed, they

are serially connected with each other so that they are
mapped with SC-FDMS symbols in accordance with the time-
first mapping method and then are transmitted to the uplink.
If the ACK/NACK information should also be transmitted,
among the serially multiplexed data, modulation symbols
located near the reference signal are punctured so that the
ACK/NACK signals are inserted thereto. In FIG. 6, a
reference numeral 601 illustrates that the data and control
signals are multiplexed serially if the ACK/NACK signals
are not transmitted. A reference numeral 602 illustrates
that the ACK/NACK signals are arranged by puncturing the
multiplexed data if the ACK/NACK signals should be
transmitted to the uplink. Also, a reference numeral 603
illustrates that information sequences such as the
reference numeral 602 are mapped in the time-frequency
region in accordance with the time-first mapping method. In
the reference numeral 603 of FIG. 6, it is supposed that
the reference signal is transmitted through a part between
symbol indexes #3 and #4 and a part between symbol indexes
#9 and #10.
As can be aware of it from the mapping type

illustrated in the reference numeral 603 of FIG. 6, aftert
the control signals are serially connected with data and
then multiplexed, they are mapped in the time-frequency

region in accordance with the time-first mapping method.
Also, the ACK/NACK signals can be set in such a manner that
they are overwritten in the data signals multiplexed with
two symbols (symbols #3, 4, 9 and 10 in FIG. 6) at both
sides of the SC-FDMA symbols to which the reference signal
is transmitted.
FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are diagrams illustrating a method
for processing a number of ACK/NACK information data to be
transmitted in accordance with one embodiment of the
present invention.
In detail, when the number of ACK/NACK information
data to be transmitted is more than the number of
subcarriers (of a virtual frequency region) to which data
are transmitted before and after the reference signal, the
ACK/NACK information can be transmitted through additional
SC-FDMA symbols in addition to both symbols nearest to the
reference signal. In FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the ACK/NACK
information is transmitted through additional symbols in
the order of the symbols near reference symbols in addition
to both symbols near the reference symbols.
At this time, the SC-FDMA symbols existing based on
the reference signal may not be arranged symmetrically
depending on a structure of the SC-FDMA sub-frame of the
uplink as illustrated in FIG. 8. Accordingly, considering

this, the ACK/NACK information should be inserted by
puncturing.
When the control information is arranged on the time-
axis in accordance with the aforementioned embodiment of
the present invention, the control information and the data
information are arranged in due order so that they are
mapped in the resource region. Also, if the ACK/NACK
information is arranged near the reference signal, the
ACK/NACK information can be overwritten in the control
information as well as the data information.
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating that the ACK/NACK
signals are inserted by puncturing the control signals as
well as the data signals in accordance with another
embodiment of the present invention.
According to this embodiment, since the ACK/NACK
information is substantially control information, priority
is given to control information channels, so that the
control information channel having the highest priority is
arranged near the reference signal for protection of
channel estimation while the control information channels
having relatively low priority are sequentially mapped on
the time axis and then transmitted. Particularly, in this
embodiment, it is supposed that the ACK/NACK information
has higher priority than the control information. At this

time, the control information and the data information are
sequentially arranged on the time axis in accordance with
the time-first mapping method and then multiplexed. The
ACK/NACK information punctures the data/control information
located near the reference signal.
In detail, a reference numeral 901 of FIG. 9
illustrates that the data and control signals are
multiplexed if the ACK/NACK signals need not to be
transmitted. A reference numeral 902 of FIG. 9 illustrates
that data, control signals and ACK/NACK signals are
multiplexed if the ACK/NACK signals should be transmitted.
Also, a reference numeral 903 of FIG. 9 illustrates that
the multiplexed uplink signals are mapped in the time-
frequency region as illustrated in the reference numeral
902.
As illustrated in the reference numeral 903 of FIG. 9,
it is noted from this embodiment that the ACK/NACK signals
can puncture the control signals as well as the data
matched near the reference signal. In this way, if resource
mapping is performed by giving priority to the control
signals, good channel estimation effect can be obtained as
the ACK/NACK information is located near the reference
signal. On the other hand, since a small number of control
signals are punctured by the ACK/NACK signals, it may not

affect performance. In one embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the
ACK/NACK signals may puncture the control signals/data
equally distributed in the virtual frequency axis. That is,
if the number of virtual subcarriers available for the
above puncturing by the ACK/NACK signals is "N" and the
number of ACK/NACK to be transmitted per SC-FDMA symbol is
"m", the ACK/NACK signals may puncture the control
signals/data equally distributed having the interval of
"N/m" or equivalent.
Also, since the control information and the data
information are multiplexed simply, a multiplexing block
can be formed simply.
Hereinafter, a whole procedure of transmitting uplink
signals in accordance with the aforementioned embodiments
of the present invention will be described. For convenience
of description, this procedure will be described with
reference to FIG. 2.
In order to transmit the uplink signals in accordance
with each of the embodiments of the present invention, the
transmitter performs channel coding for each of data
signals, control signals, and ACK/NACK signals. Channel
coding for each of the uplink signals can be performed
independently as illustrated in FIG. 2.
At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the procedure

of performing channel coding for the data signals can
include steps of segmenting a TB attached with CRC for TB
in a unit of CB (S202) , attaching a CRC for CB to the
segmented CBs (S203), performing channel coding for the
data attached with the CRC for CB (S204) , performing rate
matching for the channel coded data (S206) , and performing
CB concatenation (S207).
The one embodiment of the present invention suggests
that the channel coded data and control signals are
multiplexed serially. Serial multiplexing means that the
control signals are mapped with sequential indexes directly
after the data signals are mapped with them, or vice versa.
Meanwhile, the multiplexed signals can sequentially be
mapped within a specific resource region in accordance with
the time-first mapping method, wherein the specific
resource region includes a plurality of symbols (for
example, 12 SC-FDMA symbols) and a plurality of virtual
subcarriers.
In addition, in this embodiment of the present
invention, the ACK/NACK signals are preferably arranged
near the symbols to which the reference signal is
transmitted, among the plurality of symbols.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that
the present invention can be embodied in other specific

forms without departing from the spirit and essential
characteristics of the invention. Thus, the above
embodiments are to be considered in all respects as
illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the
invention should be determined by reasonable interpretation
of the appended claims and all change which comes within
the equivalent scope of the invention are included in the
scope of the invention.
