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 (17)

1. A method for transmitting an uplink signal by a User Equipment (UE) according to a 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) in a first subframe of the second cell;

receiving a PHICH (physical HARQ indicator channel) for the initial PUSCH and a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) for a retransmission of the initial PUSCH, in a second subframe of the first cell; and

transmitting a HARQ retransmission of the initial PUSCH in a third subframe of the second cell, according to the PHICH and the PDCCH received on the first cell.

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

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first subframe, the second subframe and the third subframe correspond to a same HARQ process.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a gap between the first subframe and the second subframe and a gap between the second subframe and the third subframe are set according to a UL(uplink)-DL(downlink) configuration of the second cell.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is configured to monitor the first cell for scheduling the second cell.

6. A User Equipment (UE) configured to transmit an uplink signal according to a 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,

wherein the processor is 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) in a first subframe of the second cell, to receive a PHICH (physical HARQ indicator channel) for the initial PUSCH and a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) for a retransmission of the initial PUSCH, in a second subframe of the first cell, and to transmit a HARQ retransmission of the initial PUSCH in a third subframe of the second cell, according to the PHICH and the PDCCH received on the first cell.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the initial PUSCH, the PHICH, the PDCCH and the HARQ retransmission correspond to a same HARQ process.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the first subframe, the second subframe and the third subframe correspond to a same HARQ process.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein a gap between the first subframe and the second subframe and a gap between the second subframe and the third subframe are set according to a UL(uplink)-DL(downlink) configuration of the second cell.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the UE is configured to monitor the first cell for scheduling the second cell.
