Abstract

A method for processing data in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving a first uplink scheduling command indicating a first radio resource, receiving a second uplink scheduling command indicating a second radio resource through a random access response, and stopping a procedure associated with the second uplink scheduling command when the first radio resource and the second radio resource collide.

Claims

1. A method for performing random access procedure by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a preamble for random access to a base station;

receiving a random access response message through a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) from the base station after the preamble is transmitted; and

performing an operation according to only the random access response message if downlink information is received through a PDSCH at a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) or subframe during which the random access response message is received,

wherein the random access response message is indicated by a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) masked with a Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identity (RA-RNTI), and the downlink information is indicated by a PDCCH masked with a Cell-RNTI (C-RNTI).

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the wireless communication system supports Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) for uplink transmission.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the downlink information is not decoded or ignored if the downlink information is received at the TTI or subframe during which the random access response message is received.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the PDCCH masked with the C-RNTI is not decoded or ignored.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein the PDCCH masked with the C-RNTI is ignored if the RA-RNTI and the C-RNTI are allocated in the same TTI or subframe.

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the PDSCH indicated by the PDCCH masked with the C-RNTI is not decoded.

7. An user equipment in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module configured to transmit/receive a radio signal to/from a base station;

a symbol generation module connected to the RF module and configured to generate Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbol to be transmitted to the base station; and

a processor configured to control the RF module and the symbol generation module and to perform operations according to radio interface protocol,

wherein the processor is configured to

transmit a preamble for random access to the base station;

receive a random access response message through a Physical Downlink Shared CHannel (PDSCH) from the base station after the preamble is transmitted; and

perform an operation according to only the random access response message if downlink information is received through a PDSCH at a Transmission Time Interval (TTI) or subframe during which the random access response message is received,

wherein the random access response message is indicated by a Physical Downlink Control CHannel (PDCCH) masked with a Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identity (RA-RNTI), and the downlink information is indicated by a PDCCH masked with a Cell-RNTI (C-RNTI).

8. The user equipment according to claim 7, wherein the processor is configured not to decode the downlink information or configured to ignore the downlink information if the downlink information is received at the TTI or subframe during which the random access response message is received.

9. The user equipment according to claim 8, wherein the processor is configured not to decode the PDCCH masked with the C-RNTI or configured to ignore the PDCCH masked with the C-RNTI.

10. The user equipment according to claim 9, wherein the processor is configured to ignore the PDCCH masked with the C-RNTI if the RA-RNTI and the C-RNTI are allocated in the same TTI or subframe.

11. The user equipment according to claim 10, wherein the processor is configured not to decode PDSCH indicated by the PDCCH masked with the C-RNTI.
