Abstract

Provided is a communication method of a terminal in a multi-carrier system using a plurality of component carriers. The method includes: receiving a reconfiguration message indicating whether downlink control information (DCI) includes a carrier indication field (CIF); receiving a plurality of DCIs indicating a resource used to transmit a reconfiguration complete message in response to the reconfiguration message; and transmitting the reconfiguration complete message on the basis of resource allocation information included in DCI which is successfully decoded among the plurality of DCIs, wherein the plurality of DCIs include first DCI used before the CIF of the DCI is reconfigured by the reconfiguration message and second DCI used after the CIF of the DCI is reconfigured by the reconfiguration message.

Claims (11)

1. A communication method of a terminal in a multi-carrier system using a plurality of component carriers, the method comprising:

receiving a reconfiguration message indicating whether downlink control information (DCI) includes a carrier indication field (CIF);

transmitting an acknowledgment (ACK)/not-acknowledgement (NACK) signal according to whether the reconfiguration message is successfully decoded;

receiving a plurality of DCIs indicating a resource used to transmit a reconfiguration complete message in response to the reconfiguration message; and

transmitting the reconfiguration complete message on the basis of resource allocation information included in DCI which is successfully decoded among the plurality of DCIs,

wherein the plurality of DCIs include first DCI used before the CIF if the DCI is reconfigured by the reconfiguration message and second DCI used after the CIF if the DCI is reconfigured by the reconfiguration message,

wherein if the terminal transmits the ACK signal, the reconfiguration complete message is transmitted on the basis of resource allocation information included in the second DCI,

wherein if the terminal transmits the NACK signal, the reconfiguration complete message is transmitted on the basis of resource allocation information included in the first DCI, and

wherein the first DCI does not include the CIF, and the second DCI includes the CIF.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguration message is transmitted using a radio resource control (RRC) signal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguration complete message includes information indicating a success of the reconfiguration or information indicating a failure of the reconfiguration according to the reconfiguration message.
