Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device for counting a DRX (Discontinuous Reception) timer in a carrier aggregation system, the method comprising: configuring a plurality of cells including at least one FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) serving cell and at least one TDD (Time Division Duplex) serving cell; and counting a DRX timer in a subframe, wherein the subframe is an uplink subframe for all TDD serving cells.

Claims (23)

1. A method for a User Equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

configuring a plurality of cells including at least one Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) serving cell and at least two Time Division Duplex (TDD) serving cells;

monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in one of a plurality of subframes which all of the at least two TDD serving cells use for transmitting uplink data when Discontinuous Reception (DRX) is configured; and

receiving the PDCCH in the one of the plurality of subframes which all of the at least two TDD serving cells use for transmitting uplink data.

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

performing a DRX timer by counting the plurality of subframes,

wherein the DRX timer comprises at least one of a drx-Inactivity timer, a drx-Retransmission timer or an onDuration timer.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein all subframes for the at least one FDD serving cell including the received subframe are downlink subframes, and

all of the at least one FDD serving cell are not configured with a schedulingCellId.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein all of the at least two TDD serving cells are not configured with a schedulingCellId.

5. A User Equipment (UE) communicating for operating in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) module; and

a processor configured to control the RF module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

configure a plurality of cells including at least one Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) serving cell and at least two Time Division Duplex (TDD) serving cells,

monitor a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) in one of a plurality of subframes which all of the at least two TDD serving cells use for transmitting uplink data when Discontinuous Reception (DRX) is configured, and

receive the PDCCH in the one of the plurality of subframes which all of the at least two TDD serving cells use for transmitting uplink data.

6. The UE according to claim 5 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to perform a DRX timer by counting the plurality of subframes, and

wherein the DRX timer comprises at least one of a drx-Inactivity timer, a drx-Retransmission timer or an onDuration timer.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein all subframes for the at least one FDD serving cell including the received subframe are downlink subframes, and

all of the at least one FDD serving cell are not configured with a schedulingCellId.

8. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein all of the at least two TDD serving cells are not configured with a schedulingCellId.
