Abstract

Provided are a method for operating user equipment (UE) having multiple serving cells set therefor in a wireless communication system and UE using the method. The method comprises: receiving a higher-level signal indicating a mapping between the values of the serving cell index (ServingCellID) of a serving cell and a carrier index field (CIF); and identifying the serving cell on the basis of the higher-level signal.

Claims (26)

1. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) supporting a carrier aggregation of a plurality of serving cells in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a higher layer signal informing a carrier index field (CIF) value among a plurality of CIF values, wherein the CIF value is used in a scheduling cell, among the plurality of serving cells, to indicate a scheduled cell, among the plurality of serving cells, having a serving cell index among a plurality of serving cell indexes;

receiving, through the scheduling cell, scheduling information which has a carrier index field; and

receiving, through the scheduled cell, data scheduled by the scheduling information, when a value of the carrier index field of the scheduling information is the CIF value,

wherein a number of the plurality of CIF values is smaller than a number of the plurality of serving cell indexes,

wherein the higher layer signal further comprises:

serving cell identification information indicating a first scheduling cell and a second scheduling cell, each of the first scheduling cell and the second scheduling cell configured to schedule a respective first set of one or more scheduled cells and second set of one or more scheduled cells;

a first carrier index field (CIF) value used by the first scheduling cell to indicate the first set of one or more scheduled cells; and

a second CIF value used by the second scheduling cell to indicate the second set of one or more scheduled cells, and

wherein the first and second sets of one or more scheduled cells contain no common cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CIF consists of 3 bits.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the higher layer signal is a radio resource control (RRC) message.

4. A user equipment (UE) supporting a carrier aggregation of a plurality of serving cells in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver and configured to:

receive a higher layer signal informing a carrier index field (CIF) value among a plurality of CIF values, wherein the CIF value is used in a scheduling cell, among the plurality of serving cells, to indicate a scheduled cell, among the plurality of serving cells, having a serving cell index among a plurality of serving cell indexes;

receive, through the scheduling cell, scheduling information which has a carrier index field; and

receive, through the scheduled cell, data scheduled by the scheduling information, when a value of the carrier index field of the scheduling information is the CIF value,

wherein a number of the plurality of CIF values is smaller than a number of the plurality of serving cell indexes,

wherein the higher layer signal further comprises:

serving cell identification information indicating a first scheduling cell and a second scheduling cell, each of the first scheduling cell and the second scheduling cell configured to schedule a respective first set of one or more scheduled cells and second set of one or more scheduled cell;

a first carrier index field (CIF) value used by the first scheduling cell to indicate the first set of one or more scheduled cells; and

a second CIF value used by the second scheduling cell to indicate the second set of one or more scheduled cells, and

wherein the first and second sets of one or more scheduled cells contain no common cell.

5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the CIF consists of 3 bits.

6. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the higher layer signal is a radio resource control (RRC) message.
