Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for receiving a downlink signal at a terminal in a wireless communication system. In particular, the method comprises: receiving a control channel to be transmitted to a specific subframe via a first carrier; and decoding a data channel corresponding to the control channel to be transmitted to the specific subframe via a second carrier, using at least one parameter included in the control channel, wherein information on the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) start symbol of data channels that are transmitted via each of at least one carrier allocated to the terminal is signaled through an upper layer.

Claims (9)

1. A method for receiving a downlink signal at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, by the UE from a base station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) corresponding to the PDCCH,

wherein, if a cell receiving the PDSCH is indicated by a carrier indicator field (CIF) included in the PDCCH and if the cell receiving the PDSCH is different from a cell receiving the PDCCH, a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the PDSCH is given by an index of an OFDM symbol of a first slot in a subframe having two slots, the index being indicated by a higher layer parameter for the cell receiving the PDSCH, and

wherein, if the cell receiving the PDSCH is same as the cell receiving the PDCCH, or if the cell receiving the PDSCH is not indicated by the CIF included in the PDCCH, the starting OFDM symbol of the PDSCH is indicated by a Control Format Indicator (CFI).

2. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the receiver and configured to receive, from a base station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) corresponding to the PDCCH

wherein, if a cell receiving the PDSCH is indicated by a carrier indicator field (CIF) included in the PDCCH and if the cell receiving the PDSCH is different from a cell receiving the PDCCH, a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the received PDSCH is given by an index of an OFDM symbol of a first slot in a subframe having two slots, the index being indicated by a higher layer parameter for the cell receiving the PDSCH, and

wherein, if the cell receiving the PDSCH is same as the cell receiving the PDCCH, or if the cell receiving the PDSCH is not indicated by the CIF included in the PDCCH, the starting OFDM symbol of the received PDSCH is indicated by a Control Format Indicator (CFI).
