Abstract

Disclosed in the present invention is a method for a terminal to transmit/receive a signal from a base station in a wireless communication system. More particularly, the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving through a physical control channel for receiving from the base station an indicator for changing a specific subframe set for one of the uses from a downlink resource and an uplink resource to another one of the uses; and according to the indicator, transmitting a signal to the base station from the specific subframe, or receiving a signal from the base station.

Claims (28)

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

receiving, from a serving cell, system information including an uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration indicating whether each of a plurality of subframes is configured as a UL subframe or a DL subframe;

receiving, from the serving cell, the downlink signal through the DL subframe indicated by the UL-DL configuration, the DL subframe being a subframe configured as the DL subframe by the UL-DL configuration and not configured as the MBSFN subframe by the MBSFN subframe configuration; and

transmitting, to the serving cell, a Hybrid Automatic Repeat and reQuest (HARQ) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) for the downlink signal through a specific subframe,

wherein if the UE is configured with a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe configuration, the specific subframe is determined based on a HARQ ACK/NACK subframe configuration corresponding to the MBSFN subframe configuration, and

wherein if the UE is not configured by the MBSFN subframe configuration, the specific subframe for the HARQ ACK/NACK is determined based on the UL-DL configuration.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MBSFN subframe configuration and the HARQ ACK/NACK subframe configuration corresponding to the MBSFN subframe configuration are received via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the serving cell, a broadcast signal on a subframe configured as the UL subframe by the UL-DL configuration and configured as the MBSFN subframe by the MBSFN subframe configuration.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

receiving a bitmap indicating that a subframe for the broadcast signal is reconfigured as the DL subframe.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein each bit of the bitmap has a value of 0 or a value of 1,

wherein the value of 0 represents that the subframe for the broadcast signal is used in accordance with the UL-DL configuration in the system information, and

wherein the value of 1 represents that the subframe for the broadcast signal is reconfigured as the DL subframe.

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

a radio frequency unit; and

a processor configured to:

receive system information including an uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration indicating whether each of a plurality of subframes is configured as a UL subframe or a DL subframe,

receive, from the serving cell, the downlink signal through the DL subframe indicated by the UL-DL configuration the DL subframe being a subframe configured as the DL subframe by the UL-DL configuration and not configured as the MBSFN subframe by the MBSFN subframe configuration, and

transmit, to the serving cell, a Hybrid Automatic Repeat and reQuest (HARQ) acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) for the downlink signal through a specific subframe,

wherein if the UE is configured with a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe configuration, the specific subframe is determined based on a HARQ ACK/NACK subframe configuration corresponding to the MBSFN subframe configuration, and

wherein if the UE is not configured by the MBSFN subframe configuration, the specific subframe for the HARQ ACK/NACK is determined based on the UL-DL configuration.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the MBSFN subframe configuration and the HARQ ACK/NACK subframe configuration corresponding to the MBSFN subframe configuration are received via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message.

8. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive, from the serving cell, a broadcast signal on a subframe configured as the UL subframe by the UL-DL configuration and configured as the MBSFN subframe by the MBSFN subframe configuration.

9. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive a bitmap indicating that the a subframe for the broadcast signal is reconfigured as the DL subframe.

10. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein each bit of the bitmap has a value of 0 or a value of 1,

wherein the value of 0 represents that the subframe for the broadcast signal is used in accordance with the UL-DL configuration in the system information, and

wherein the value of 1 represents that the subframe for the broadcast signal is reconfigured as the DL subframe.
