Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and a device therefor, wherein the method comprises the steps of: receiving a PDCCH signal that contains scheduling information from a base station on a first subframe; receiving a PDSCH signal corresponding to said PDCCH signal from said base station on a second subframe; and decoding said PDSCH signal, wherein an interval between said first subframe and said second subframe is varied.

Claims (26)

1. A method for receiving a downlink signal at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS) via a higher layer, information on a number (Nr) of bits of a resource indicator and a number (Ncc) of component carriers (CCs) configured for the UE, wherein Ncc≤2 Nr ;

receiving, from the BS, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in an n th subframe, the PDCCH including the resource indicator which has a value K, wherein 0≤K≤2 Nr , and wherein K defines an index of a specific CC among the CCs configured for the UE and a subframe interval (m);

receiving, from the BS via the specific CC, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in an (n+m) th subframe, the PDSCH corresponding to the PDCCH; and

decoding the PDSCH based on the PDCCH,

wherein m has an integer value of 0 through (floor{(2^N R )/Ncc}−1), where the floor is a floor operator.

2. The method according to 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the BS, a Physical Control Format Indicator Channel (PCFICH) in the n th subframe, the PCFICH including information on a starting point of the PDSCH transmitted via the (n+m) th subframe.

3. The method according to 1 , wherein the index of the specific CC is K when K≤(Ncc−1).

4. The method according to 1 , further comprising:

Transmitting, to the BS, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) including reception acknowledgement information for the PDSCH.

5. The method according to 4 , wherein the PUCCH is transmitted in an (n+m+4) th subframe in a Frequency Duplex Division (FDD) system.

6. A user equipment (UE) that receives a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor operably coupled with the RF unit, wherein the processor:

receives, from a base station (BS) via a higher layer, information on a number (Nr) of bits of a resource indicator and a number (Ncc) of component carriers (CCs) configured for the UE, wherein Ncc≤2 Nr ,

receives, from the BS, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in an n th subframe, wherein the PDCCH includes the resource indicator which has a value (K),

wherein 0≤K≤2 Nr ), and wherein K defines an index of a specific CC among the CCs configured for the UE and a subframe interval (m),

receives, from the BS through the specific CC, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in an (n+m) th subframe, the PDSCH corresponding to the PDCCH, and

decodes the PDSCH based on the PDCCH,

wherein m has an integer value of 0 through (floor{(2^N R )/Ncc}−1)and

wherein floor is a floor operator.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the processor further receives, from the BS, a Physical Control Format Indicator Channel (PCFICH) via the n th subframe, the PCFICH including information on a starting point of the PDSCH transmitted via the (n+m) th subframe.

8. The UE according to 6 , wherein the index of the specific CC is K when K≤(Ncc−1).

9. The UE according to 6 , wherein the processor is further transmits, to the BS, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) including reception acknowledgement information for the PDSCH.

10. The UE according to 9 , wherein the PUCCH is transmitted in an (n+m+4) th subframe in a Frequency Duplex Division (FDD) system.
