Method and apparatus for transmitting ACK/NACK information in wireless communication system
A method and apparatus for transmitting ACK/NACK information in a wireless communication system are disclosed. In accordance with a method for transmitting ACK/NACK information, an ACK/NACK signal of downlink transmission in a downlink subframe set is transmitted in a single uplink subframe. In this case, if a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format is established by a higher layer for a downlink receiver, and if one physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is transmitted in a downlink subframe set, the ACK/NACK information can be transmitted using a second PUCCH format on PUCCH resources established by a higher layer for the second PUCCH format.
1. A method for transmitting ACK/NACK information by a relay node (RN) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
determining a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format and resource which are used for transmitting ACK/NACK information in response to a backhaul downlink transmission within a downlink subframe set, wherein the downlink subframe set includes M downlink subframes where M≧1, and the M downlink subframes are configured as Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframes by the RN; and
transmitting the ACK/NACK information through a backhaul uplink using the PUCCH format and resource in a single uplink subframe,
wherein, when the RN is configured with a PUCCH format 3 and when one physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is transmitted within the downlink subframe set, the ACK/NACK information is transmitted using a PUCCH format 1a/1b on a PUCCH resource configured by a higher layer for the PUCCH format 1a/1b.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for the RN is mapped to remaining OFDM symbols other than initial N OFDM symbols (where N<3) of a subframe.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the PDCCH for the RN is an R-PDCCH.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
if two or more downlink assignment PDCCHs are transmitted within the downlink subframe set, one PUCCH resource for the PUCCH format 3 from among PUCCH resources configured by a higher layer for the PUCCH format 3 is decided by a transmission power control (TPC) field of a PDCCH having a downlink assignment index (DAI) higher than 1 (DAI>1).
5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the ACK/NACK information is transmitted using the PUCCH format 3 on the decided one PUCCH resource for the PUCCH format 3.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication system is a time division duplex (TDD) wireless communication system.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein more than one serving cell is configured for the RN.
8. A method for receiving ACK/NACK information from a relay node (RN) by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving ACK/NACK information through a backhaul uplink, in response to the backhaul downlink transmission in a single uplink subframe,
wherein, when the RN is configured with a PUCCH format 3 and when one physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is transmitted within the downlink subframe set, the ACK/NACK information is received using a PUCCH format 1a/1b on a PUCCH resource configured by a higher layer for the PUCCH format 1a/1b.

a Rx module for receiving a downlink signal from a base station through a backhaul downlink;
a Tx module for transmitting an uplink signal to the base station through a backhaul uplink; and
a processor for controlling the RN including the Rx module and the Tx module,
wherein the processor is configured to:
determine a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format and resource which are used for transmitting ACK/NACK information in response to a backhaul downlink transmission within a downlink subframe set, wherein the downlink subframe set included M downlink subframes where M≧1, and the M downlink subframes are configured as Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframes by the RN; and
transmit the ACK/NACK information through a backhaul uplink using the PUCCH format and resource in a single uplink subframe,
wherein, when the RN is configured with a PUCCH format 3 and when one physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is transmitted within the downlink subframe set, the ACK/NACK information is transmitted using a PUCCH format 1a/1b on a PUCCH resource configured by a higher layer for the PUCCH format 1a/1b.
10. A base station for receiving ACK/NACK information from a relay node (RN) in a wireless communication system, comprising:
a Rx module for receiving an uplink signal from the RN through a backhaul uplink;
a Tx module for transmitting a downlink signal to the RN through a backhaul downlink; and

receive ACK/NACK information through a backhaul uplink, in response to the backhaul downlink transmission in a single uplink subframe through the Rx module,
wherein, when the RN is configured with a PUCCH format 3 and when one physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is transmitted within the downlink subframe set, the ACK/NACK information is received using a PUCCH format 1a/1b on a PUCCH resource configured by a higher layer for the PUCCH format 1a/1b.
