Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. In detail, the present invention is a method in which user equipment for which a plurality of cells is constituted receives control information in a carrier aggregation-based wireless communication system, and an apparatus for the method. The method comprises: a step of receiving, through a first cell, uplink resource allocation information for a second cell; a step of transmitting an uplink signal on the second cell using the uplink resource allocation information; and a step of receiving response information to the uplink signal. The response information is received via a specific cell rather than the first cell when the uplink signal is transmitted by a random access process, and the response information is received via the first cell when the uplink signal is transmitted by a non-random access process.

Claims

1. A method for receiving control information by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, via a primary cell (PCell) of a first timing advance group (TAG), a random access response (RAR) including uplink resource allocation information for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

transmitting, via a first secondary cell (SCell) of a second TAG, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signal based on the uplink resource allocation information; and

receiving, via a second SCell configured to schedule the first SCell, a physical hybrid ARQ channel (PHICH) signal including acknowledgement information for the PUSCH signal,

wherein the first and second SCells are different from each other, and each of the first and second TAGs has a respective timing advance value applied to uplink transmission.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the uplink resource allocation information for the PUSCH is received via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that includes the RAR to a RACH preamble previously transmitted by the UE via the first SCell.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the PDSCH that includes the RAR is received only via the PCell.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) via the second SCell,

transmitting another PUSCH signal on the first SCell in accordance with the PDCCH received via the second SCell; and

receiving another PHICH signal including acknowledgement information for the another PUSCH signal via the second SCell.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the second SCell is a cell configured to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) having a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) for the first SCell.

6. A user equipment (UE) configured to receive control information in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor operatively connected to the RF unit and configured to;

receive, via a primary cell(PCell) of a first timing advance group (TAG), a random access response (RAR) including uplink resource allocation information;

transmit, via a first secondary cell (SCell) of a second TAG, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signal based on the uplink resource allocation information; and

receive via a second SCell configured to schedule the first SCell, a physical hybrid ARQ channel (PHICH) signal including acknowledgement information for the PUSCH,

wherein the first and second SCells are different from each other, and each of the first and second TAGs has a respective timing advance value applied to uplink transmission.

7. The UE of claim 6, wherein the uplink resource allocation information for the PUSCH is received via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) that includes the RAR to a RACH preamble previously transmitted by the UE via the first SCell.

8. The UE of claim 7, wherein the PDSCH that includes the RAR is received only via the PCell.

9. The UE of claim 6, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) via the second SCell,

transmit another PUSCH signal on the first SCell in accordance with the PDCCH received via the second SCell; and

receive another PHICH signal including acknowledgement information for the another PUSCH signal via the second SCell.

10. The UE of claim 6, wherein the second SCell is a cell configured to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) having a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI) for the first SCell.
