Abstract

A method of acquiring information on a resource region for transmitting PHICH and a method of receiving PDCCH using the same are disclosed. The resource region for transmitting the PHICH can be specified by first information corresponding to the per-subframe PHICH number and second information corresponding to a duration of the PHICH within the subframe. The first information can be specified into a form resulting from multiplying a predetermined basic number by a specific constant. And, the specific constant can be transmitted via PBCH. Moreover, the second information can be acquired from the PBCH as well.

Claims (12)

1. A method for a user equipment (UE) to receive system information from a base station, the method comprising:

receiving a PBCH (physical broadcast channel) comprising first system information from the base station, wherein the first system information comprises system bandwidth information and PHICH (physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel) related information, wherein the PHICH related information comprises first information associated with a number (G N ) of PHICH group and second information associated with a PHICH duration (m), wherein multiple PHICHs mapped to the same set of resource elements constitute a PHICH group;

receiving a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) comprising control information from the base station via a first resource region excluding a second resource region assigned to the PHICH, wherein the second resource region assigned to the PHICH is based on the first information and the second information; and

receiving a PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) comprising second system information from the base station via a third resource region, wherein the third resource region is determined based on the control information of the PDCCH.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first system information is for basic system information of a cell of the UE, and the second system information is for detailed system information other than the basic system information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the system bandwidth information is used to determine the number (G N ) of PHICH group based on the received first information.

4. A method for a base station to transmit system information to a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

transmitting a PBCH (physical broadcast channel) comprising first system information to the UE, wherein the first system information comprises system bandwidth information and PHICH (physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel) related information, wherein the PHICH related information comprises first information associated with a number (G N ) of PHICH group and second information associated with a PHICH duration (m), wherein multiple PHICHs mapped to the same set of resource elements constitute a PHICH group;

transmitting a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) comprising control information to the UE via a first resource region excluding a second resource region assigned to the PHICH, wherein the second resource region assigned to the PHICH is based on the first information and the second information; and

transmitting a PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) comprising second system information to the UE via a third resource region, wherein the third resource region is determined based on the control information of the PDCCH.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first system information is for basic system information of a cell of the base station, and the second system information is for detailed system information other than the basic system information.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the system bandwidth information is used to determine the number (G N ) of PHICH group based on the received first information.
