Abstract:
1. A method for uplink control information transmission in a radio communication system utilizing carrier aggregation, wherein a plurality of uplink component carriers can be aggregated for communication between a User Equipment (UE) and a network node in the system, the method comprising: determining, by the UE, that a set including one or more uplink component carriers of the plurality of uplink component carriers includes at least one uplink component carrier that comprises an uplink shared channel, and selecting, by the UE, one of said at least one uplink component carrier that comprises an uplink shared channel for transmission of uplink control information in the uplink shared channel, wherein the selection is based on priority indication information in which each of said one or more uplink component carriers of said set is assigned a priority indication; wherein the priority indication assigned to each of the one or more uplink component carriers of the set, respectively, is based on priority indication of an integer value received from a network node.
