Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and device for transmitting and receiving a control signal, and the method includes: receiving control information including scheduling information for data transmission and receipt through higher layer signaling; and receiving a trigger signal triggering data scheduling on a terminal using the scheduling information, wherein the trigger signal may be received through a physical channel that carries a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgment (ACK) response for uplink data transmission.

Claims (26)

1. A method of performing data communication by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving scheduling information through a radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling, the scheduling information including resource allocation (RA) information for the data communication, modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information, and transport block (TB) size information; and

receiving, based on a preset resource index, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) signal through a physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH); and

when the PHICH is received and the HARQ-ACK signal indicates ACK, performing a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception based on the RA information, the MCS information, and the TB size information received through the RRC layer signaling,

wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is omitted for the PUSCH transmission and the PDSCH reception,

wherein the user equipment does not perform any operation for the PUSCH transmission and the PDSCH reception when the HARQ-ACK signal indicates negative acknowledgement (NACK),

wherein the scheduling information comprises downlink scheduling information or uplink scheduling information, and

wherein one of the PDSCH reception based on the downlink scheduling information or the PUSCH transmission based on the uplink scheduling information is performed when the preset resource index is independently allocated for the PDSCH reception and the PUSCH transmission and the HARQ-ACK signal indicates ACK.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PDSCH reception based on the downlink scheduling information and the PUSCH transmission based on the uplink scheduling information are simultaneously performed when the preset resource index is commonly allocated for the PDSCH reception and the PUSCH transmission and the HARQ-ACK signal indicates ACK.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the preset resource index is allocated through the RRC layer signaling.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the preset resource index indicates at least one of information of a resource group to which the PHICH is allocated, information of an orthogonal sequence applied to the PHICH, and a cycle or offset for monitoring the PHICH.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of physical resources are allocated for the PHICH, and the plurality of physical resources are frequency division multiplexed (FDM) or code division multiplexed (CDM) in a same subframe or is time division multiplexed (TDM) across a plurality of subframes.

6. A user equipment (UE) for performing data communication, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive scheduling information through a radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling through the RF unit, the scheduling information including resource allocation (RA) information for the data communication, modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information, and transport block (TB) size information, and

receive, based on a preset resource index, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ)-acknowledgement (ACK) signal through a physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH); and

when the PHICH is received and the HARQ-ACK signal indicates ACK, perform a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception based on the RA information, the MCS information, and the TB size information received through the RRC layer signaling,

wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is omitted for the PUSCH transmission and the PDSCH reception,

wherein the user equipment does not perform any operation for the PUSCH transmission and the PDSCH reception when the HARQ-ACK signal indicates negative acknowledgement (NACK),

wherein the scheduling information comprises downlink scheduling information or uplink scheduling information, and

wherein one of the PDSCH reception based on the downlink scheduling information or the PUSCH transmission based on the uplink scheduling information is performed when the preset resource index is independently allocated for the PDSCH reception and the PUSCH transmission and the HARQ-ACK signal indicates ACK.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the PDSCH reception based on the downlink scheduling information and the PUSCH transmission based on the uplink scheduling information are simultaneously performed when the preset resource index is commonly allocated for the PDSCH reception and the PUSCH transmission and the HARQ-ACK signal indicates ACK.

8. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the preset resource index is allocated through the RRC layer signaling.

9. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the preset resource index indicates at least one of information of a resource group to which the PHICH is allocated, information of an orthogonal sequence applied to the PHICH, and a cycle or offset for monitoring the PHICH.

10. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein a plurality of physical resources are allocated for the PHICH, and the plurality of physical resources are frequency division multiplexed (FDM) or code division multiplexed (CDM) in a same subframe or is time division multiplexed (TDM) across a plurality of subframes.
