Abstract

According to one embodiment of the present invention, suggested art a method for reporting a power headroom report (hereinafter, PHR) of a terminal and an apparatus of the terminal, the method comprising the steps of: determining whether the terminal is operated in dynamic time division multiple access (hereinafter, TDD, time division duplexer) mode; determining whether the terminal receives service from a plurality of serving cells, when it is determined that the terminal is operated in dynamic TDD mode; determining a power headroom type (hereinafter, PH type) on the basis of a radio resource control (hereinafter, RRC) message and downlink control information (DCI) received from a base station, when it is determined that the terminal receives a service from the plurality of serving cells; and transmitting information about the determined PH type using an extended PHR format. In addition, suggested are a method for receiving a PHR by a base station and a base station apparatus capable of setting a TDD mode in the terminal and receiving the PHR from the terminal.

Claims (57)

1. A method for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) procedure by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a first message including first time division duplex (TDD) configuration information;

receiving a second message including second TDD configuration information indicating downlink HARQ reference for dynamic TDD configuration;

determining, when the second message including second TDD configuration information is received, HARQ round trip time (RTT) based on the second TDD configuration information included in the second message;

receiving a third message including information for a third TDD configuration; and

monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in subframes indicated by the information for the third TDD configuration within a duration, when HARQ RTT expires,

wherein the duration is determined based on the first TDD configuration information and a configured number of subframes.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the HARQ RTT is set to k+4, and

wherein the k is determined according to the downlink HARQ reference.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein,

the first message is a system information block type 1 (SIB 1),

the second message is a radio resource control (RRC) message, and

the third message is a layer 1 (L1) signal message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configured number of subframes is configured by the first message or a fourth message transmitted from the base station.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first message is system information block type 1 (SIB 1), and the fourth message is a radio resource control (RRC) message.

6. A terminal for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) procedure in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and

a controller configured to:

receive, via the transceiver from a base station, a first message including first time division duplex (TDD) configuration information,

receive, via the transceiver from the base station, a second message including second TDD configuration information indicating downlink HARQ reference for dynamic TDD configuration,

determine, when the second message including the second TDD configuration information is received, HARQ round trip time (RTT) based on the second TDD configuration information included in the second message,

receive, via the transceiver from the base station, a third message including information for a third TDD configuration, and

monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in subframes indicated by the information for the third TDD configuration information within a duration, when the HARQ RTT expires,

wherein the duration is determined based on the first TDD configuration information and a configured number of subframes.

7. The terminal of claim 6 ,

wherein the HARQ RTT is set to k+4, and

wherein the k is determined according to the downlink HARQ reference.

8. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the configured number of subframes is configured by the first message or a fourth message transmitted from the base station.

9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the first message is a system information block type 1 (SIB 1), and the fourth message is a radio resource control (RRC) message.

10. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the first message is a system information block type 1 (SIB 1), the second message is a radio resource control (RRC) message, and the third message is a layer 1 (L1) signal message.

11. A base station for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) procedure in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, via the transceiver to a terminal, a first message including first time division duplex (TDD) configuration information,

transmit, via the transceiver to the terminal, a second message including second TDD configuration information indicating downlink HARQ reference for dynamic TDD configuration, and

transmit, via the transceiver to the terminal, a third message including information for a third TDD configuration,

wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is monitored in subframes indicated by the information for the third TDD configuration within a duration by the terminal, when HARQ round trip time (RTT) related to the downlink HARQ reference is expired, and

wherein the duration is determined by the terminal based on the first TDD configuration information and a configured number of subframes.

12. The base station of claim 11 ,

wherein the HARQ RTT is set to k+4, and

wherein the k is determined according to the downlink HARQ reference.

13. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the configured number of subframes is configured by the first message or a fourth message.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the first message is a system information block type 1 (SIB 1), and the fourth message is a radio resource control (RRC) message.

15. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the first message is a system information block type 1 (SIB 1), the second message is a radio resource control (RRC) message, and the third message is a layer 1 (L1) signal message.

16. A method for a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) procedure by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, a first message including first time division duplex (TDD) configuration information;

transmitting, to the terminal, a second message including second TDD configuration information indicating downlink HARQ reference for dynamic TDD configuration; and

transmitting, to the terminal, a third message including information for a third TDD configuration,

wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is monitored in subframes indicated by the information for the third TDD configuration within a duration by the terminal, when HARQ round trip time (RTT) related to the downlink HARQ reference is expired, and

wherein the duration is determined by the terminal based on the first TDD configuration information and a configured number of subframes.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein:
