Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for receiving control information by a UE in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus for same. More specifically, the method includes a step of receiving reconfiguration downlink control information (DCI), wherein the reconfiguration DCI includes a plurality of reconfigurations relating to a UE group including the UE and is configured so as to be received on the basis of a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) defined for the reconfiguration DCI.

Claims (23)

1. A method for receiving downlink control information (DCI) by a user equipment (UE) served by multiple cells in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration information, related to a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) used for a resource format indication;

receiving the DCI, based on the RNTI, including a plurality of resource format indicators, wherein each of the plurality of resource format indicators is related to a corresponding one of a plurality of uplink-downlink configurations (UL-DL configurations); and

communicating, with one of the multiple cells, using one UL-DL configuration corresponding to one resource format indicator among the plurality of UL-DL configurations,

wherein the RRC configuration information further includes identification information related to a bit position of a resource format indicator corresponding to each of the multiple cells in the DCI, and

wherein the one resource format indicator is identified for the one cell among the plurality of resource format indicators based on the identification information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the number of resource format indicators that make up the plurality of resource format indicators included in the DCI is based on a size related to a format of the DCI.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the DCI is received through a common search space of the one cell.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the resource format indicator is configured for the one cell.

5. The method according to claim 1 further comprising:

identifying the RNTI, from among a plurality of RNTI, based on information included in the RRC message.

6. A user equipment (UE), served by at least one cell, capable of receiving downlink control information (DCI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver; and

a processor, operatively coupled to the transmitter and receiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

control the receiver to receive Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration information, related to a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) used for a resource format indication,

control the receiver to receive the DCI, based on the RNTI, including a plurality of resource format indicators, wherein each of the plurality of resource format indicators is related to a corresponding one of a plurality of uplink-downlink configurations (UL-DL configurations), and

communicate, with one of the multiple cells, using one UL-DL configuration corresponding to one resource format indicator among the plurality of UL-DL configurations,

wherein the RRC configuration information further includes identification information related to a bit position of a resource format indicator corresponding to each of the multiple cells in the DCI, and

wherein the one resource format indicator is an indicator identified for the one cell among the plurality of resource format indicators based on the identification information.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the number of resource format indicators that make up the plurality of resource format indicators included in the DCI is based on a size related to a format of the DCI.

8. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the DCI is received through a common search space of the one cell.

9. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the resource format indicator is configured for the one cell.

10. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to identify the RNTI, from among a plurality of RNTI, based on information included in the RRC message.
