Abstract

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for transmitting control information by a base station, comprising the steps of: transmitting data through a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and receiving a receipt acknowledgement in response to said data in the 4 th subframe following the subframe in which said data is transmitted. When downlink control information that indicates said PDSCH is transmitted in a resource region not including a resource indicated by a physical control format indication channel, the downlink control information is transmitted in k th subframe prior to the subframe in which the PDSCH is transmitted.

Claims (30)

1. A method of transmitting control information, which is transmitted by an eNode B in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of:

transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) indicating a PDSCH on a data region of a specific subframe,

wherein the data region corresponds to symbols in the specific subframe except a first 3 or 4 symbols indicated by a physical control format indication channel (PCFICH);

transmitting a data on the PDSCH in a k-th following subframe of the specific subframe; and

receiving a reception confirmation response for the data in a (k+4)-th following subframe from the specific subframe.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the k is determined in consideration of at least one selected from the group consisting of a cell size, a processing time of a user equipment (UE), and a position of the UE within a cell.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is transmitted in a subframe immediately before a subframe in which the PDSCH is transmitted.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI does not indicate any PDSCH except the PDSCH.

5. A method of receiving control information, which is received by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of:

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) indicating a PDSCH on a data region of a specific subframe,

wherein the data region corresponds to symbols in the specific subframe except a first 3 or 4 symbols indicated by a physical control format indication channel (PCFICH);

receiving a data on the PDSCH in a k-th following subframe of the specific subframe; and

transmitting a reception confirmation response for the data in a (k+4)-th following subframe from the specific subframe.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the k is determined in consideration of at least one selected from the group consisting of a cell size, a processing time of a user equipment (UE), and a position of the UE within a cell.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the DCI is transmitted in a subframe immediately before a subframe in which the PDSCH is transmitted.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the DCI does not indicate any PDSCH except the PDSCH.

9. An eNode B in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) module; and

a processor operably coupled with the RF module and configured to:

transmit a downlink control information (DCI) indicating a PDSCH on a data region of a specific subframe,

wherein the data region corresponds to symbols in the specific subframe except a first 3 or 4 symbols indicated by a physical control format indication channel (PCFICH);

transmit a data on the PDSCH in a k-th following subframe of the specific subframe; and

receive a reception confirmation response for the data in a (k+4)-th following subframe from the specific subframe.

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

a Radio Frequency (RF) module; and

a processor operably coupled with the RF module and configured to:

receive a downlink control information (DCI) indicating a PDSCH on a data region of a specific subframe,

wherein the data region corresponds to symbols in the specific subframe except a first 3 or 4 symbols indicated by a physical control format indication channel (PCFICH);

receive a data on the PDSCH in a k-th following subframe of the specific subframe; and

transmit a reception confirmation response for the data in a (k+4)-th following subframe from the specific subframe.
