Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for transmitting, by a terminal, a HARQ-ACK in a CA wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising: receiving at SF#n-k one or more DG DCIs containing a first DAI; receiving a UG DCI which schedules a PUSCH; and transmitting at SF #n a HARQ-ACK payload over the PUSCH, wherein the size of the HARQ-ACK payload is determined on the basis of a value of the first DAI, the value of the first DAI corresponds to the total number of cells on which a first type of DL signal is scheduled at the SF#n-k with respect to the terminal, n is an integer of 0 or more and k is a positive integer.

Claims (27)

1. A method for transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ-ACK) by a device in a carrier aggregation (CA) wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving two or more downlink grant (DG) downlink control information (DCIs) including a first downlink assignment index (DAI) in time unit (TU) # n-k; and

transmitting an HARQ-ACK payload in time unit # n,

wherein a size of the HARQ-ACK payload is determined based on a value of the first DAI,

wherein the value of the first DAI corresponds to a total number of cells in which first-type downlink (DL) signals are scheduled for the device in TU #n-k, and is the same in the two or more DCIs,

wherein the first-type DL signals comprise at least (i) a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) associated with a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or (ii) a PDCCH indicating a DL semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) release, and

wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and k is a positive integer.

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

receiving an SPS PDSCH in TU #n-k,

wherein the size of the HARQ-ACK payload is given as a sum of a value determined based on the value of the first DAI and 1.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the two or more DG DCIs comprises a second DAI, and a value of the second DAI corresponds to a scheduling order value of a cell scheduled by a corresponding DG DCI.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the HARQ-ACK payload is transmitted in the time unit #n on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

5. A device configured to transmit a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ-ACK) in a carrier aggregation (CA) wireless communication system, the device comprising:

a memory; and

a processor operably connected with the memory,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive two or more downlink grant (DG) downlink control information (DCIs) including a first downlink assignment index (DAI) in time unit (TU) # n-k; and

transmit an HARQ-ACK payload in TU # n,

wherein a size of the HARQ-ACK payload is determined based on a value of the first DAI,

wherein the value of the first DAI corresponds to a total number of cells in which first-type downlink (DL) signals are scheduled for the device in TU #n-k, and is the same in the two or more DG DCIs,

wherein the first-type DL signals comprise at least (i) a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) associated with a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or (ii) a PDCCH indicating a DL semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) release, and

wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and k is a positive integer.

6. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive an SPS PDSCH in TU #n-k,

wherein the size of the HARQ-ACK payload is given as a sum of a value determined based on the value of the first DAI and 1.

7. The device according to claim 5 , wherein each of the two or more DG DCIs comprises a second DAI, and a value of the second DAI corresponds to a scheduling order value of a cell scheduled by a corresponding DG DCI.

8. The device according to claim 5 , wherein the HARQ-ACK payload is transmitted in the time unit #n on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

9. The device according to claim 5 , further comprising a radio frequency (RF) unit.
