Method for mapping modulation symbols onto resource units of allocated subframe

Abstract

A method and a user equipment (UE) for modulation symbol mapping are provided. The method comprises mapping the CQI modulation symbols onto resource units of the second slot of the allocated subframe, wherein the CQI modulation symbols are mapped from the first resource unit of the second slot in a time-first mapping; and mapping the PUSCH modulation symbols onto resource units of both the first and second slot of the allocated subframe, wherein the PUSCH modulation symbols are mapped from the first resource unit of the first slot in a time-first mapping.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for modulation symbol mapping, the method comprising:
 mapping a channel quality information, CQI, modulation symbols onto resource units of a second slot of an allocated subframe, wherein the CQI modulation symbols are mapped from a first resource unit of the second slot in a time-first mapping which first follows a time direction of the second slot and then follows a frequency direction of the allocated frequency resource of the allocated subframe; and   mapping modulation symbols of user data from a first resource unit of a first slot in a time-first mapping which first follows a time direction of both the first slot and the second slot and then follows a frequency direction of the allocated frequency resource of the allocated subframe.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the modulation symbols of user data are mapped from the first resource unit of the first slot in a time-first mapping while skipping the resource units used for mapping the CQI modulation symbols. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 calculating an amount of resource units for the CQI modulation symbols.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the CQI modulation symbols are mapped onto the resource units of the second slot of the allocated subframe with an amount of mapped resource units equals to the amount of the calculated resource units. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the modulation symbols of user data formed by concatenation of the modulation symbols of one or more code blocks, CBs, of one transport block, TB. 
     
     
         6 . A user equipment, UE, for modulation symbol mapping, the user equipment comprising:
 a memory; and   a processor,   wherein the memory stores one or more computer programs that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:   map a channel quality information, CQI, modulation symbols onto resource units of a second slot of an allocated subframe, wherein the CQI modulation symbols are mapped from a first resource unit of the second slot in a time-first mapping which first follows a time direction of the second slot and then follows a frequency direction of the allocated frequency resource of the allocated subframe; and   map modulation symbols of user data from a first resource unit of a first slot in a time-first mapping which first follows a time direction of both the first slot and the second slot and then follows a frequency direction of the allocated frequency resource of the allocated subframe.   
     
     
         7 . The UE of  claim 6 , wherein the modulation symbols of user data are mapped from the first resource unit of the first slot in a time-first mapping while skipping the resource units used for mapping the CQI modulation symbols. 
     
     
         8 . The UE of  claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to calculate an amount of resource units for the CQI modulation symbols. 
     
     
         9 . The UE of  claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to map the CQI modulation symbols onto the resource units of the second slot of the allocated subframe with an amount of mapped resource units equals to the amount of the calculated resource units. 
     
     
         10 . The UE of  claim 6 , wherein the modulation symbols of user data formed by concatenation of the modulation symbols of one or more code blocks, CBs, of one transport block, TB.
