Abstract

The present invention relates to a system that includes a transmission/reception point and a user equipment having different configurations in inter-band and performs a TDD (Time Division Duplex) method.

Claims (693)

1. A user equipment configured with at least two serving cells comprising a primary cell (PCell) and a secondary cell (SCell), the PCell and the SCell having different Time Division Duplex (TDD) Uplink-Downlink (UL-DL) configurations, the user equipment comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit first acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (A/N) in an uplink subframe determined by a reference TDD configuration for the SCell, the first A/N corresponding to a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission on the SCell,

wherein the reference TDD configuration for the SCell has a greatest number of uplink subframes from among one or more reference TDD configurations for the TDD UL-DL configurations of the PCell and the SCell in Table 1 below:
