Abstract

The present invention provides a method for receiving acknowledgement/not-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) of a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method transmits uplink data through an uplink data channel and receives ACK/NACK for the uplink data. The uplink data channel is transmitted through aggregated carriers and the aggregated carriers include a first band recognizable to first and second type terminals and a second band recognizable only to the second type terminal.

Claims (20)

1. A method of communication by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving physical hybrid-ARQ indicator channel (PHICH) information indicating PHICH duration of a subframe; and

receiving enhanced-physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) information indicating a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of an E-PDCCH in the subframe via a radio resource control (RRC) message,

wherein the starting OFDM symbol of the E-PDCCH indicated by the E-PDCCH information in the subframe is configured after the PHICH duration indicated by the PHICH information in the subframe.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PHICH information indicating the PHICH duration is received via another RRC message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PHICH duration is normal PHICH duration or extended PHICH duration.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein if the PHICH duration is the normal PHICH duration and the subframe is a non-Multicast-broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe, the value of the PHICH duration is 1.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein if the PHICH duration is normal PHICH and the subframe is a Multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) subframe on a carrier supporting a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), the value of the PHICH duration is 1.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein acknowledgement/not-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) for uplink data which is transmitted from the UE is received during the PHICH duration.

7. A user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit that transmits and receives a radio signal; and

a processor that controls the RF unit to:

receive physical hybrid-ARQ indicator channel (PHICH) information indicating PHICH duration of a subframe; and

receive enhanced-physical downlink control channel (E-PDCCH) information indicating a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of an E-PDCCH in the subframe via a radio resource control (RRC) message,

wherein the starting OFDM symbol of the E-PDCCH indicated by the E-PDCCH information in the subframe is configured after the PHICH duration indicated by the PHICH information in the subframe.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the PHICH information indicating the PHICH duration is received via another RRC message.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein acknowledgement/not-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) for uplink data which is transmitted from the UE is received during the PHICH duration.

10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the PHICH duration is normal PHICH duration or extended PHICH duration.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein if the PHICH duration is the normal PHICH duration and the subframe is a non-Multicast-broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe, the value of the PHICH duration is 1.

12. The UE of claim 10 , wherein if the PHICH duration is the normal PHICH and the subframe is a Multicast-broadcast single-frequency network (MBSFN) subframe on a carrier supporting a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), the value of the PHICH duration is 1.
