Abstract

A terminal receives downlink control information through downlink control channels repeatedly allocated by a plurality of subframes. To this end, the terminal receives configuration information related to the plurality of subframes through higher layer signaling. The terminal receives the downlink control channels repeatedly allocated by the plurality of subframes and combines the received downlink control channels based on the configuration information.

Claims (17)

1. A method for receiving, by a terminal, downlink control information through downlink control channels repeatedly allocated in a plurality of subframes, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information relating to the plurality of subframes through higher layer signaling;

receiving the downlink control channels repeatedly allocated in the plurality of subframes and combining the received downlink control channels on the basis of the configuration information; and

extracting the downlink control information from the combined downlink control channels,

wherein:

the configuration information comprises information on a start subframe of the plurality of subframes; and

the downlink control information comprises information on the number of the plurality of subframes.

2. A method for transmitting, by a base station, downlink control information through downlink control channels repeatedly allocated in a plurality of subframes, the method comprising:

transmitting configuration information relating to the plurality of subframes through higher layer signaling; and

transmitting the downlink control information through the downlink control channels repeatedly allocated in the plurality of subframes,

wherein:

the configuration information comprises information on a start subframe of the plurality of subframes; and

the downlink control information comprises information on the number of the plurality of subframes.

3. A terminal for receiving downlink control information through downlink control channels repeatedly allocated in plurality of subframes, the terminal comprising:

a receiver configured to receive configuration information comprising information on a start subframe of the plurality of subframes through higher layer signaling, to receive the downlink control channels repeatedly allocated in the plurality of subframes, and to combine the received downlink control channels based on the configuration information; and

a controller configured to extract downlink control information from the combined downlink control channels,

wherein the downlink control information comprises information on the number of the plurality of subframes.
