Abstract

Provided is a method for receiving downlink data in a wireless communication system. User equipment (UE) receives downlink control information in a first subframe from a primary cell. The user equipment receives downlink data from a secondary cell in a second subframe over a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The user equipment determines a transmission block size in accordance with the type of the carrier of the second subframe. The user equipment decodes the PDSCH on the basis of the downlink control information and the transmission block size.

Claims (40)

1. A method for receiving downlink data in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving downlink control information in a first subframe from a primary cell;

receiving downlink data in a second subframe through a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from a secondary cell;

determining a transport block size based on a carrier type of the second subframe; and

decoding the PDSCH based on the downlink control information and the transport block size.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transport block size is determined based on a position of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the second subframe at which the decoding of the PDSCH is started.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein determining the transport block size comprises obtaining a number of resource blocks N″ PRB to which the downlink data has been allocated, and

wherein if the decoding of the PDSCH is started at a first OFDM symbol of the second subframe, the transport block size is determined based on N′ PRB determined based on an equation as below:

N′ PRB =min{└ N′ PRB ×c┘,N RB DL }

where c=1.15, min{a,b} is a smaller value of a and b, └d┘ is a greatest integer equal to or smaller than d, and N RB DL is a downlink bandwidth configuration represented as a multiple of a size of a resource block.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transport block size is determined based on whether or not the second subframe includes a reference signal for channel measurement.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein determining the transport block size comprises obtaining a number of resource blocks N″ PRB to which the downlink data has been allocated, and

wherein if the second subframe includes the reference signal for the channel measurement, the transport block size is determined based on N′ PRB determined based on an equation as below:

N′ PRB =min{└ N′ PRB ×c┘,N RB DL }

where c=1.05, min{a,b} is a smaller value of a and b, └d┘ is a greatest integer equal to or smaller than d, and N RB DL is a downlink bandwidth configuration represented as a multiple of a size of a resource block.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transport block size is determined based on a position of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the second subframe at which the decoding of the PDSCH is started and whether or not the second subframe includes a reference signal for channel measurement.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein determining the transport block size comprises a step of obtaining a number of resource blocks N″ PRB to which the downlink data has been allocated, and

wherein if the PDSCH is started at a first OFDM symbol of the second subframe and the second subframe includes the reference signal for the channel measurement, the transport block size is determined based on N′ PRB determined based on an equation as below:

N′ PRB =min{└ N′ PRB ×c┘,N RB DL }

where c=1.2, min{a,b} is a smaller value of a and b, └d┘ is a greatest integer equal to or smaller than d, and N RB DL is a downlink bandwidth configuration represented as a multiple of a size of a resource block.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the reference signal for the channel measurement is a Tracking Reference Signal (TRS) transmitted every 5 ms.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second subframe is a special subframe in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, and

wherein the transport block size is determined based on a special subframe configuration of the second subframe and a position of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the second subframe at which the decoding of the PDSCH is started.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second subframe is a special subframe in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, and

wherein the transport block size is determined based on a number of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols used to send the PDSCH.

11. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency unit configured to transmit and receive radio signals; and

a processor connected to the radio frequency unit and configured to:

receive downlink control information in a first subframe from a primary cell;

receive downlink data in a second subframe through a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from a secondary cell;

determine a transport block size based on a carrier type of the second subframe; and

decode the PDSCH based on the downlink control information and the transport block size.

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the transport block size is determined based on a position of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the second subframe at which the decoding of the PDSCH is started.

13. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the transport block size is determined based on whether or not the second subframe includes a reference signal for channel measurement.

14. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the transport block size is determined based on a position of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the second subframe at which the decoding of the PDSCH is started and whether or not the second subframe includes a reference signal for channel measurement.

15. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the reference signal for the channel measurement is a Tracking Reference Signal (TRS) transmitted every 5 ms.

16. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the second subframe is a special subframe in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, and

wherein the transport block size is determined based on a special subframe configuration of the second subframe and a position of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the second subframe at which the decoding of the PDSCH is started.

17. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the second subframe is a special subframe in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system, and

wherein the transport block size is determined based on a number of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols used to send the PDSCH.
