Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for receiving control information by a UE in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus for same. More specifically, the method includes a step of receiving reconfiguration downlink control information (DCI), wherein the reconfiguration DCI includes a plurality of reconfigurations relating to a UE group including the UE and is configured so as to be received on the basis of a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) defined for the reconfiguration DCI.

Claims (17)

1. A method for receiving control information by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving reconfiguration downlink control information (reconfiguration DCI),

wherein the reconfiguration DCI comprises a plurality of reconfigurations related with a UE group comprising the UE, and is set to be received based on a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) defined for the reconfiguration DCI.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reconfiguration DCI is set to be transmitted through a common search space (CSS) of a primary cell (PCell).

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the RNTI defined for the reconfiguration DCI is identically configured for the UE group.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the RNTI defined for the reconfiguration DCI is configured through UE-specific radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the number of bits for the plurality of reconfigurations is less than the number of bits constituting the reconfiguration DCI, unused bits of the bits constituting the reconfiguration DCI are set to a specific value.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the specific value is considered as a virtual cyclic redundancy check (virtual CRC) by the UE.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the number of the reconfigurations is indicated through higher layer signaling or physical layer signaling.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the number of bits constituting the reconfiguration DCI is indicated through higher layer signaling or physical layer signaling.

9. The method according to claim 5 , wherein locations of the reconfigurations are set to differ from each other.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein information about the locations of the reconfigurations is indicated through UE-specific signaling.

11. A user equipment for receiving control information in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a radio frequency unit; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to receive reconfiguration downlink control information (reconfiguration DCI),

wherein the reconfiguration DCI comprises a plurality of reconfigurations related with a UE group comprising the UE, and is set to be received based on a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) defined for the reconfiguration DCI.
