Abstract

A method for performing, by a terminal, an uplink HARQ process in a wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: transmitting uplink data set to a first HARQ process ID; receiving an ACK/NACK response to the uplink data; and retransmitting the uplink data in response to the ACK/NACK response, wherein when the uplink data includes an SPS signal, the first HARQ process ID is set to one of values #0 to #n−1, and when the uplink data includes a non-SPS signal, the first HARQ process ID is set to one of values #n to #n+m−1, where n is the total number of HARQ processes that can be configured for the SPS signal, and m is the total number of HARQ processes that can be configured for the non-SPS signal.

Claims (20)

1. A method for performing, by a user equipment (UE), an uplink hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting uplink data based on a n+4 processing time at subframe #k;

receiving an ACK/NACK response to the uplink data through a physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) at subframe #k+4; and

retransmitting the uplink data in response to the ACK/NACK response at subframe #k+8,

wherein based on the UE performing an uplink HARQ process based on a n+3 processing time, the uplink data is transmitted at subframe #k, an ACK/NACK signal is received at subframe #k+3, and the uplink data is retransmitted at subframe #k+6, and

wherein a PHICH including an ACK/NACK response corresponding to the uplink data scheduled by downlink control information (DCI) including information related to the n+4 processing time is ignored by the UE, based on the UE receiving the DCI including information related to the switching timing from the n+4 processing time to the n+3 processing time through the UE-specific/Dedicated Search Space (USS) at the subframe #k+4 based on a configured information of the UE.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE supports switching from the n+4 processing time to the n+3 processing time.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the UE is configured to perform an uplink HARQ process based on the n+4 processing time based on the DCI is received through a common search space (CSS).

4. A user equipment (UE) for performing an uplink hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) process in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

transmitter and a receiver; and

a processor, operatively coupled to the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

transmit uplink data based on a n+4 processing time at subframe #k,

receive an ACK/NACK response to the uplink data through a physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) at subframe #k+4, and

retransmit the uplink data in response to the ACK/NACK response at subframe #k+8,

wherein based on the UE performing an uplink HARQ process based on a n+3 processing time, the uplink data is transmitted at subframe #k, an ACK/NACK signal is received at subframe #k+3, and the uplink data is retransmitted at subframe #k+6, and

wherein a PHICH including an ACK/NACK response corresponding to the uplink data scheduled by downlink control information (DCI) including information related to the n+4 processing time is ignored by the UE, based on the UE receiving the DCI including information related to the switching timing from the n+4 processing time to the n+3 processing time through the UE-specific/Dedicated Search Space (USS) at the subframe #k+4 based on a configured information of the UE.

5. The UE of claim 4 , wherein the UE supports switching from the n+4 processing time to the n+3 processing time.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the UE is configured to perform an uplink HARQ process based on the n+4 processing time based on the DCI is received through a common search space (CSS).
