Method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving uplink signal, and method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving downlink signal
First Claim
1. A method for transmitting, by a user equipment, an uplink signal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the user equipment from a base station, machine type communication (MTC) group configuration information for a group of user equipments (MTC group);
receiving, by the user equipment from the base station, a random access response physical downlink control channel (RA response PDCCH) corresponding to a random access preamble based on the MTC group configuration information and a random access response physical downlink shared channel (RA response PDSCH) based on the RA response PDCCH, with or without transmitting, by the user equipment, the random access preamble to the base station according to whether the user equipment is a primary user equipment of the MTC group or not;
transmitting, by the user equipment to the base station, uplink data to the base station based on the RA response PDSCH;
receiving, by the user equipment from the base station, a PDSCH carrying downlink feedback information for the MTC group (DL feedback PDSCH); and
retransmitting, by the user equipment to the base station, the uplink data when acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information of the user equipment, included in the DL feedback PDSCH, indicates NACK.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method for scheduling an uplink and a method for scheduling a downlink for a user equipment group comprising a plurality of user equipments in similar channel situations. In the present invention, which relates to the method for scheduling the uplink, a primary user equipment for a user equipment group is configured, and information according to a random access procedure that is performed by the primary user equipment is shared by means of other user equipments in the user equipment group. In the present invention, which relates to the method for scheduling the downlink, each of the user equipment in the user equipment group attempt to detect downlink data by a random access preamble transmission timing, and transmits a pertinent random access preamble to a base station at the random access preamble transmission timing, thereby notifying the base station of a failure to receive the downlink data, when the detection of the downlink data by the random access preamble transmission timing fails.
