wherein the scheduling information is transmitted in a downlink subframe or a special subframe based on the first subframe configuration information for the first cell,

wherein the data is transmitted in a downlink subframe or a special subframe for the second cell, which corresponds to the downlink subframe or the special subframe for the first cell, and

wherein the first subframe configuration information is different from the second subframe configuration information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first subframe configuration information and the second subframe configuration information include at least one of a downlink subframe, a uplink subframe, and a special subframe.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating the scheduling information of the second cell.

receiving a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request—ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) response corresponding to the data on the second cell from the terminal according to the second subframe configuration information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control channel comprises Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) and the shared channel comprises Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling information is transmitted in a subframe in which scheduling information transmission is restricted according to the first subframe configuration information.

7. A method by a terminal in a mobile communication system employing time division duplexing, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, first subframe configuration information of a first cell;

receiving, from the base station, information for activating a second cell, second subframe configuration information of the second cell, and configuration information of cross-carrier scheduling;

receiving, from the base station, scheduling information on a control channel of the first cell based on the configuration information of cross-carrier scheduling; and

receiving, from the base station, data on a shared channel of the second cell based on the scheduling information,

wherein the scheduling information is received in a downlink subframe or a special subframe based on the first subframe configuration information for the first cell,

wherein the data is received in a downlink subframe or a special subframe for the second cell, which corresponds to the downlink subframe or the special subframe for the first cell, and

wherein the first subframe configuration information is different from the second subframe configuration information.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first subframe configuration information and the second subframe configuration information include at least one of a downlink subframe, a uplink subframe, and a special subframe.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

monitoring the control channel on the first cell.

10. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
