4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first DCI format is configured by modifying the second DCI format to additionally include an HARQ process number and a repetition number.
5. A method of transceiving data via an uplink data channel for coverage expansion, the method comprising:
establishing a transmission mode for transmitting an uplink data channel;
when the transmission mode is an uplink data channel enhancement transmission mode, monitoring a downlink control channel to receive a first downlink control information (DCI) format, and when the transmission mode is an uplink data channel normal mode, monitoring the downlink control channel to receive a second DCI format; and
receiving one of the first DCI format and the second DCI format via the downlink control channel,
wherein the first DCI format is a DCI format for the uplink data channel enhancement transmission mode for allocating uplink shared channel resources for the user equipment, and the first DCI format includes information for allocating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number and information for setting a repetition number, and
when a transmission mode of the user equipment is the uplink data channel enhancement transmission mode, the user equipment monitors the first DCI format in a specific search space without monitoring a second DCI format, wherein the second DCI format is a DCI format for a user equipment configured for an uplink data channel normal transmission mode.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the uplink data channel enhancement transmission mode is established by specific higher layer signaling of a user equipment.
7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the specific search space of the user equipment is a UE specific search space, and the user equipment decodes the first DCI formation in the UE specific search space without decoding a second DCI format.
8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the first DCI format is configured by modifying the second DCI format to include a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number and a repetition number.
9. A base station for transceiving data via an uplink data channel for coverage expansion, comprising:
a controller configured to establish an uplink data channel enhancement transmission mode for uplink data channel coverage enhancement of a user equipment and configures a first downlink control information (DCI) format for the user equipment set with the uplink data channel enhancement transmission mode; and
a transmitter configured to transmit the first DCI format via a downlink control channel,
wherein the first DCI format is a DCI format for the uplink data channel enhancement transmission mode for allocating uplink shared channel resources for the user equipment, and the first DCI format includes information for allocating a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number and information for setting a repetition number, and
when a transmission mode of the user equipment is the uplink data channel enhancement transmission mode, the user equipment monitors the first DCI format in a specific search space without monitoring a second DCI format, wherein the second DCI format is a DCI format for a user equipment configured for an uplink data channel normal transmission mode.
10. The base station according to claim 9 , wherein the uplink data channel enhancement transmission mode is established by specific higher layer signaling of the user equipment.
11. The base station according to claim 9 , wherein the specific search space of the user equipment is a UE specific search space, and the user equipment decodes the first DCI format in the UE specific search space without decoding a second DCI format.
