Abstract

A method for transmitting data using a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) is provided. The method includes receiving scheduling information, the scheduling information comprising information regarding a radio resource; transmitting data by using the radio resource; and retransmitting the data or transmitting new data by reusing the radio resource if a received scheduling change indicator indicates that the radio resource is reused. The scheduling change indicator is control information different from the scheduling information. Resources can be effectively used by decreasing an amount of radio resources required for scheduling information.

Claims (22)

1. A method for transmitting data using a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ), the method comprising:

receiving scheduling information from a base station, the scheduling information comprising information regarding a first radio resource;

transmitting data to the base station by using the first radio resource;

receiving a scheduling change indicator which indicates whether the first radio resource is reused or not from the base station through a physical uplink scheduling indicator channel (PUSICH), the PUSICH being configured with bits corresponding to a number of user equipments (UEs) processed in one transmission time interval (TTI), each UE being identified by performing bit-shifting on a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) index; and

retransmitting the data or transmitting new data to the base station by reusing the first radio resource if the scheduling change indicator indicates that the first radio resource is reused, or

transmitting the new data to the base station by using a second radio resource if the scheduling change indicator indicates that the first radio resource is not reused,

wherein the scheduling change indicator is control information different from the scheduling information.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving the scheduling information comprising information regarding the second radio resource from the base station if the scheduling change indicator indicates that the first radio resource is not reused.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data includes a redundancy version (RV) indicating a number of retransmission attempts.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling information is uplink scheduling information and is received through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling information further comprises information regarding modulation and coding of the data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data is HARQ data transmitted according to an HARQ scheme.

7. A method for transmitting data using scheduling information, the method comprising:

transmitting to a user equipment the scheduling information, the scheduling information comprising information regarding a first radio resource to be allocated;

transmitting the data to the user equipment by using the first radio resource;

transmitting a scheduling change indicator indicating whether the first radio resource is reused or not to the user equipment through a physical downlink scheduling indicator channel (PDSICH), the PDSICH being configured with bits corresponding to a number of user equipments (UEs) processed in one transmission time interval (TTI), each UE being identified by performing bit-shifting on a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) index; and

retransmitting the data or transmitting new data to the user equipment by reusing the first radio resource if the scheduling change indicator indicates that the first radio resource is reused, or

transmitting the new data to the user equipment by using a second radio resource if the scheduling change indicator indicates that the first radio resource is not reused.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the scheduling change indicator is user equipment identification information for identifying user equipments in the same cell.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the user equipment identification information is a user signature assigned from a base station when a radio resource control (RRC) connection is established.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the scheduling information is downlink scheduling information and is received through a PDCCH.
