Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for receiving, in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation and usage change of a radio resource, a signal of a terminal which does not support simultaneous reception and transmission of aggregated cells. Specifically, the method comprises the steps of: receiving downlink control information for a secondary cell on a specific radio resource corresponding to a special subframe of a primary cell and a downlink subframe of the secondary cell; and determining validity of the downlink control information according to an uplink-downlink setting of the primary cell, wherein the downlink control information is determined to be invalid if the primary cell is in non-fallback mode, and determined to be valid if the primary cell is a time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink setting according to fallback mode and the secondary cell is cross-carrier scheduled according to the primary cell.

Claims (26)

1. A method for receiving a signal by a user equipment (UE) configured to support simultaneous reception and trans mission of aggregated cells in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation and reconfiguration of a radio resource, the method comprising:

receiving, on a radio resource, in which a special subframe of a primary cell, based on a first uplink-downlink configuration, overlaps a downlink subframe of a secondary cell, downlink control information about the secondary cell, wherein the special subframe includes a Downlink Pilot Time Slot (DwPTS), Guard Period (GP) and Uplink Pilot Time Slot (UpPTS);

monitoring a reconfiguration message for configuring a second uplink-downlink configuration of the primary cell; and

determining whether the downlink control information is valid based on the first and the second uplink-downlink configuration of the primary cell,

wherein, when the radio resource is a subframe identified as a downlink subframe by the second uplink-downlink configuration and as a special subframe by the first uplink-downlink configuration, the downlink control information is determined to be valid, and

wherein the first uplink-downlink configuration is configured by a system information block (SIB) and the second uplink-downlink configuration is configured by a reconfiguration message.

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

receiving, when the downlink control information is determined to be valid, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) on the radio resource.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein validation is performed only when a special subframe configuration of the first uplink-downlink configuration is a plurality of configurations for the special subframe.

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

transmitting, when the downlink control information is valid, a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) on the uplink subframe indicated by an uplink grant included in the downlink control information.

5. A user equipment (UE) configured not to support simultaneous reception and transmission of aggregated cells in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation and reconfiguration of a radio resource, the UE comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver; and

a processor, operatively coupled to the transmitter and receiver, that:

controls the receiver to receive, on a radio resource, in which a special subframe of a primary cell, based on a first uplink-downlink configuration, overlaps a downlink subframe of a secondary cell, downlink control information about the secondary cell, wherein the special subframe includes a Downlink Pilot Time Slot (DwPTS), Guard Period (GP) and Uplink Pilot Time Slot (UpPTS);

monitors a reconfiguration message for configuring a second uplink-downlink configuration of the primary cell; and

determines whether the downlink control information is valid based on the first and the second uplink-downlink configuration of the primary cell,

wherein, when the radio resource is a subframe identified as a downlink subframe by the second uplink-downlink configuration and as a special subframe by the first uplink-downlink configuration, the downlink control information is determined to be valid, and

wherein the first uplink-downlink configuration is configured by a system information block (SIB) and the second uplink-downlink configuration is configured by a reconfiguration message.

6. A method for transmitting a signal by a user equipment (UE) configured not to support simultaneous reception and transmission of aggregated cells in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation and reconfiguration of a radio resource, the method comprising:

receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) triggering message for a secondary cell on a radio resource, in which a special subframe of a primary cell based on a first uplink-downlink configuration, overlaps a downlink subframe of the secondary cell, wherein the special subframe includes a Downlink Pilot Time Slot (DwPTS), Guard Period (GP) and Uplink Pilot Time Slot (UpPTS);

monitoring a reconfiguration message for configuring a second uplink-downlink configuration of the primary cell; and

determining whether the SRS triggering message is valid based on the first and the second uplink-downlink configuration of the primary cell,

wherein, when the radio resource is a subframe identified as a downlink subframe by the second uplink-downlink configuration and as a special subframe by the first uplink-downlink configuration, the SRS triggering message is determined to be valid, and

wherein the first uplink-downlink configuration is configured by a system information block (SIB) and the second uplink-downlink configuration is configured by a reconfiguration message.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the SRS triggering message is determined to be valid when a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) and the SRS are scheduled simultaneously on the radio resource.
