Abstract

The present invention provides a method for receiving acknowledgement/not-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) of a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method transmits uplink data through an uplink data channel and receives ACK/NACK for the uplink data. The uplink data channel is transmitted through aggregated carriers and the aggregated carriers include a first band recognizable to first and second type terminals and a second band recognizable only to the second type terminal.

Claims (20)

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

receiving physical hybrid-ARQ indicator channel (PHICH) information, the PHICH information indicating PHICH duration in a subframe;

receiving enhanced-physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) information the E-PDCCH information indicating a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of an E-PDCCH in the subframe; and

performing communication based on the E-PDCCH information and the PHICH information,

wherein the E-PDCCH information is received via a radio resource control (RRC) message, and

wherein, in the subframe, the starting OFDM symbol of the E-PDCCH is configured after an OFDM symbol indicated by the PHICH duration.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PHICH information indicating the PHICH duration is received via another RRC message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein acknowledgement/not-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) for uplink data which is transmitted from the UE is received during the OFDM symbol indicated by the PHICH duration.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PHICH duration is normal PHICH duration or extended PHICH duration.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein when the PHICH duration is the normal PHICH duration and the subframe is a non-Multicast-broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe, the PHICH duration is 1.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein when the PHICH duration is normal PHICH and the subframe is a Multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) subframe on a carrier supporting a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), the PHICH duration is 1.

7. A user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively coupled to the transceiver,

wherein the processor:

controls the transceiver to receive physical hybrid-ARQ indicator channel (PHICH) information, the PHICH information indicating PHICH duration in a subframe;

controls the transceiver to receive enhanced-physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) information, the E-PDCCH information indicating a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of an E-PDCCH in the subframe; and

performs communication based on the E-PDCCH information and the PHICH information,

wherein the E-PDCCH information is received via a radio resource control (RRC) message, and

wherein, in the subframe, the starting OFDM symbol of the E-PDCCH is configured after an OFDM symbol indicated by the PHICH duration.
