Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and a device for a terminal to transmit an uplink signal according to a normal HARQ operation in a wireless communication system supporting a carrier merge, the method comprising the steps of: forming a first cell set with a FDD and a second serving cell set with a TDD; receiving a PHICH signal from a subframe #(n−m−p) of the first serving cell, or receiving a PDCCH signal from a subframe #(n−m) of the first serving cell; and transmitting a PUSCH signal from a subframe #n of the second serving cell, in correspondence to the PHICH signal or the PDCCH signal, wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 0, m is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and p is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

Claims (22)

1. A method for transmitting an uplink signal by a User Equipment (UE) according to a normal HARQ (hybrid automatic repeat and request) operation in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation, the method comprising:

configuring a first cell to FDD (frequency division duplex) and a second cell to TDD (time division duplex);

transmitting an initial PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) signal in a subframe #(n-m-p-q) of the second cell;

receiving a PHICH (physical HARQ indicator channel) signal in a subframe #(n-m-p) of the first cell, or a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) signal in a subframe #(n-m) of the first cell; and

transmitting a HARQ retransmission signal of the initial PUSCH signal in a subframe #n of the second cell, according to the PHICH signal or the PDCCH signal received in the first cell,

wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 0, m is an integer greater than or equal to 1, p is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and q is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PHICH signal, the PDCCH signal and the initial PUSCH signal correspond to a same HARQ process.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the subframes #(n-m-p), #(n-m) and #n are allocated to a same HARQ process.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein m and p are set according to a UL (uplink)-DL (downlink) configuration for the second cell.

5. A User Equipment (UE) configured to transmit an uplink signal according to a normal HARQ (hybrid automatic repeat and request) operation in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor operatively connected to the RF unit and configured:

to configure a first cell to FDD (frequency division duplex) and a second cell to TDD (time division duplex),

to transmit an initial PUSCH (physical uplink shared channel) signal in a subframe #(n-m-p-q) of the second cell,

to receive a PHICH (physical HARQ indicator channel) signal in a subframe #(n-m-p) of the first cell, or receive a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) signal in a subframe #(n-m) of the first cell, and

to transmit a HARQ retransmission signal of the initial PUSCH signal in a subframe #n of the second cell, according to the PHICH signal or the PDCCH signal received in the first cell,

wherein n is an integer greater than or equal to 0, m is an integer greater than or equal to 1, p is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and q is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the PHICH signal, the PDCCH signal and the initial PUSCH signal correspond to a same HARQ process.

7. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the subframes #(n-m-p), #(n-m) and #n are allocated to a same HARQ process.

8. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein m and p are set according to a UL (uplink)-DL (downlink) configuration for the second cell.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein q is set according to a UL-DL configuration for the second cell.

10. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein q is set according to a UL-DL configuration for the second cell.
