Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a device for receiving a downlink signal by a terminal in a time division duplex (TDD) wireless communication system supporting a wireless resource usage change. Specifically, the present invention comprises the steps of: configuring system information block (SIB)-based uplink-downlink configuration 0 as an uplink (UL) reference configuration; and receiving downlink control information including a first field which defines an uplink (UL) index or a downlink assignment index, wherein the downlink control information is received through a common search space, and the first field is determined as the uplink (UL) index when a downlink control information (DCI) format relating to the DL control information is DCI format 0.

Claims (33)

1. A method for receiving a downlink (DL) control signal in a time division duplex (TDD) wireless communication system supporting reconfiguration of a radio resource, the method comprising:

establishing an SIB (System Information Block)-based Uplink-Downlink (UL-DL) configuration 0 as an uplink (UL) reference configuration;

establishing one of uplink-downlink setting # { 2 , 4 , 5 } as a DL reference configuration; and

receiving DL control information containing a specific field for defining a UL index or a DL assignment index,

wherein when the DL control information is received through a common search space and a DL control information format (DCI format) associated with the DL control information is DCI format 0 or DCI format 4, the specific field is determined to be an UL index, and

wherein when the DL control information is received through a UE-specific search space and the downlink control information format associated with the downlink control information is DCI format 0 or DCI format 4, the specific field is determined as a downlink assignment index.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting at least one Hybrid ARQ-ACK/NACK (HARQ-ACK/NACK) over a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH), the PUSCH being based on the DL control information.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein:

at least one UL subframe for transmitting the PUSCH is determined according to the UL index; and

a size of the at least one HARQ-ACK/NACK is defined based on the DL assignment index.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein a size of the at least one HARQ-ACK/NACK is determined based only on an UL subframe for transmitting the at least one HARQ/ACK in a piggyback manner among at least one UL subframe for transmitting the PUSCH.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the DL assignment index is valid only when the DL control information is received on a specific DL subframe; and

the specific DL subframe is a DL subframe for reception of DL control information indicating PUSCH transmission in a specific UL subframe based on a DL reference configuration.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein, when the DL assignment index is not valid, the DL assignment index is used for virtual cycle redundancy check.

7. A terminal for receiving a downlink (DL) control signal in a time division duplex (TDD) wireless communication system supporting reconfiguration of a radio resource, the terminal comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

establish an SIB (System Information Block)-based Uplink-Downlink (UL-DL) configuration 0 as an uplink (UL) reference configuration;

establish one of uplink-downlink setting # { 2 , 4 , 5 } as a DL reference configuration; and

control the RF unit to receive DL control information containing a specific field for defining a UL index or a DL assignment index,

wherein when the DL control information is received through a common search space and a DL control information format (DCI format) associated with the DL control information is DCI format 0 or DCI format 4, the specific field is determined as an UL index, and

wherein when the DL control information is received through a UE-specific search space and the downlink control information format associated with the downlink control information is DCI format 0 or DCI format 4, the specific field is determined as a downlink assignment index.

8. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the RF unit to transmit at least one Hybrid ARQ-ACK/NACK (HARQ-ACK/NACK) over a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH), the PUSCH being based on the DL control information.

9. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein:

at least one UL subframe for transmitting the PUSCH is determined according to the UL index; and

a size of the at least one HARQ-ACK/NACK is defined based on the DL assignment index.

10. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein a size of the at least one HARQ-ACK/NACK is determined based only on an UL subframe for transmitting the at least one HARQ/ACK in a piggyback manner among at least one UL subframe for transmitting the PUSCH.

11. The terminal according to claim 7 , wherein:

the DL assignment index is valid only when the DL control information is received on a specific DL subframe; and

the specific DL subframe is a DL subframe for reception of DL control information indicating PUSCH transmission in a specific UL subframe based on a DL reference configuration.

12. The terminal according to claim 11 , wherein, when the DL assignment index is not valid, the DL assignment index is used for virtual cycle redundancy check.
