1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer instructions, that when executed by one or more processors, cause a computing device to perform operations comprising:
transmitting data to a user equipment; and
receiving at least one type of uplink control information (UCI), transmitted from the user equipment, through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) of a subframe,
wherein transmission power of the PUCCH is determined based on a PUCCH format dependent value,
wherein if the PUCCH is of PUCCH format 3, and if the at least one type of UCI includes an acknowledgement/not-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) for the data and periodic channel state information (CSI), the PUCCH format dependent value is determined based on a number of bits of the ACK/NACK and the number of bits of the periodic CSI, and
wherein:
if PUCCH format 3 is configured to be transmitted through two antenna ports or if a total sum of the at least one type of UCI is larger than 11 bits, the PUCCH format dependent value is determined based on Equation 1 given below, and
if the at least one type of UCI is transmitted through a single antenna port and a total sum of the at least one type of UCI is equal to or smaller than 11 bits, the PUCCH format dependent value is determined based on Equation 2 given below,
h(nCQI,nHARQ,nSR)=(nHARQ+nSR+nCQI−1)/3  [Equation 1]
h(nCQI,nHARQ,nSR)=(nHARQ+nSR+nCQI−1)/2,  [Equation 2]
wherein,
h(nCQI, nHARQ,nSR) represents the PUCCH format dependent value,
nHARQ represents the number of bits of the ACK/NACK,
nCQI represents the number of bits of the periodic CSI, and
nSR is 1 or 0 according to a configuration for a scheduling request (SR) for the user equipment.
