Abstract

A method and an apparatus for transmitting Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) are provided. The HARQ ACK/NACK transmission method includes receiving a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in a subframe of a first cell, identifying an ACK subframe for transmitting HARQ ACK/NACK corresponding to the PDSCH, and transmitting the HARQ ACK/NACK in the identified ACK subframe of a second cell.

Claims (38)

1. A hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) transmission method of a terminal in a carrier aggregated system, the method comprising:

receiving control information for a second cell on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a first cell;

receiving a data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the control information in the second cell;

determining a subframe to transmit a HARQ ACK/NACK for responding to the data based on timing relation of a transmission of a HARQ ACK/NACK for the first cell; and

transmitting the HARQ ACK/NACK responding to the data according to the determined subframe in the first cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control information includes scheduling information of the PDSCH in the second cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether the control information on the PDCCH in the first cell, based on the previously configured information, and the data on the PDSCH in the second cell are transmitted from a same subframe; and

receiving the control information on the PDCCH in the first cell and the data on the PDSCH in the second cell at every subframe where data reception is possible when the PDCCH of the first cell and the PDSCH of the second cell are transmitted from the same subframe.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the control information is received from an earlier subframe than the subframe of the PDSCH.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control information obtains the PDCCH in each subframe for the first cell.

6. A hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) reception method in a carrier aggregated system, the method comprising:

transmitting control information for a second cell on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of a first cell;

transmitting a data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) of the second cell based on the control information;

determining a subframe to receive a HARQ ACK/NACK for responding to the data based on timing relation of a transmission of a HARQ ACK/NACK for the first cell; and

receiving the HARQ ACK/NACK responding to the data according to the determined subframe in the first cell.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the control information includes a scheduling information of the PDSCH in the second cell.

8. The method of claim 7 , comprising:

determining whether the control information on the PDCCH in the first cell, based on the previously configured information, and the data on the PDSCH in the second cell can be transmitted from a same subframe; and

transmitting the control information on the PDCCH in the first cell and the data on the PDSCH in the second cell from the same subframe of the first cell and the second cell when the PDCCH of the first cell and the PDSCH of the second cell can be transmitted from the same subframe.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the control information is transmitted from an earlier subframe than the subframe of the PDSCH.

10. A terminal apparatus for transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) in a carrier aggregated system, the apparatus comprising:

a PDCCH receiving unit receiving control information for a second cell on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a first cell;

a PDSCH receiving unit receiving a data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the control information in the second cell;

a cell/timing controller determining a subframe to transmit a HARQ ACK/NACK for responding to the data based on timing relation of a transmission of a HARQ ACK/NACK for the first cell; and

a physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel transmitting unit transmitting the HARQ ACK/NACK responding to the data according to the determined subframe in the first cell.

11. The terminal apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the control information includes a scheduling information of the PDSCH in the second cell.

12. The terminal apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the cell/timing controller determining whether the control information on the PDCCH in the first cell, based on the previously configured information, and the data on the PDSCH in the second cell are transmitted from a same subframe and controlling the PDCCH receiving unit and the PDSCH receiving unit to receive the control information and the data at every subframe where data reception is possible when the PDCCH of the first cell and the PDSCH of the second cell are transmitted from the same subframe.

13. The terminal apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the cell/timing controller controlling the PDSCH receiving unit to receive the data through the PDSCH receiving unit after obtaining the control information from the PDCCH receiving unit.

14. The terminal apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the cell/timing controller controlling the PDCCH receiving unit and obtaining the control information by decrypting the PDCCH in the first cell at each subframe where reception is possible.

15. A base station apparatus for transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) in a carrier aggregated system, the apparatus comprising:

a PDCCH transmitting unit transmitting control information of a second cell on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a first cell;

a PDSCH transmitting unit transmitting a data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the control information in the second cell;

a cell/timing controller determining a subframe to receive a HARQ ACK/NACK for responding to the data based on timing relation of a transmission of a HARQ ACK/NACK for the first cell; and

a physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel transmitting unit receiving the HARQ ACK/NACK responding to the data according to the determined subframe in the first cell.

16. The base station apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the control information includes a scheduling information of the PDSCH in the second cell.

17. The base station apparatus of claim 15 , wherein cell/timing controller determining whether the control information on the PDCCH in the first cell, based on the previously configured information, and the data on the PDSCH in the second cell can be transmitted from a same subframe and controlling the PDCCH transmitting unit and the PDSCH transmitting unit to transmit the control information and the data from the same subframe of the first cell and the second cell when the PDCCH of the first cell and the PDSCH of the second cell can be transmitted from the same subframe.

18. The base station apparatus of claim 15 , cell/timing controller controlling the PDSCH transmitting unit to transmit the data through the PDSCH transmitting unit after transmitting the control information in the PDCCH transmitting unit.
