Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for receiving, by a terminal, control information in a wireless communication system supporting a carrier aggregation system. In detail, the method includes a step of receiving control information on a specific subframe through a first carrier and second carrier, wherein, when the control channel type on the first carrier and the control channel type on the second carrier are different from each other in the specific subframe, the control information is received according to the control channel type on one carrier of either the first carrier or second carrier corresponding to predefined monitoring information.

Claims

1. A method of receiving a control information by a user equipment in a wireless communication system supportive of a carrier aggregation system, the method comprising:

identifying, by the user equipment, an Enhanced Physical Downlink control channel (EPDCCH) monitoring subframe set and a Physical Downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring subframe set for a primary cell;

identifying, by the user equipment, an EPDCCH monitoring subframe set and a PDCCH monitoring subframe set for a secondary cell; and

receiving, by the user equipment, control information for the secondary cell at a specific subframe through one of the primary cell and the secondary cell based on a control channel type for the primary cell and a control channel type for the secondary cell,

wherein if the user equipment is configured to monitor control channels of an identical control channel type for the primary cell and the secondary cell at the specific subframe, the control information for the secondary cell is received via the primary cell, and

wherein if the user equipment is configured to monitor an EPDCCH for the primary cell and to monitor a PDCCH for the secondary cell at the specific subframe, the control information for the secondary cell is received via the secondary cell.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary cell is configured in a manner that a downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) set differently in accordance with a type of a control channel for receiving monitoring information is applied.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary cell is configured in a manner that a predefined downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) is applied.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary cell is configured in a manner that an uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) set differently in accordance with a type of a control channel for receiving monitoring information is applied.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the secondary cell is configured in a manner that a predefined uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) is applied.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the control channel type is either the EPDCCH or the PDCCH.

7. A user equipment for receiving a control information in a wireless communication system supportive of a carrier aggregation system, the user equipment comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor operably coupled with the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to;

identify an Enhanced Physical Downlink control channel (EPDCCH) monitoring subframe set and a Physical Downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring subframe set for a primary cell;

identify an EPDCCH monitoring subframe set and a PDCCH monitoring subframe set for a secondary cell; and

receive control information for the secondary cell at a specific subframe through one of the primary cell and secondary cell, based on a control channel type for the primary cell and a control channel type for the secondary cell,

wherein if the user equipment is configured to monitor control channels of an identical control channel type for the primary cell and the secondary cell at the specific subframe, the control information for the secondary cell is received via the primary cell, and

wherein if the user equipment is configured to monitor an EPDCCH for the primary cell and to monitor a PDCCH for the secondary cell at the specific subframe, the control information for the secondary cell is received via the secondary cell.

8. The user equipment of claim 7, wherein the secondary cell is configured in a manner that a downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) set differently in accordance with a type of a control channel for receiving monitoring information is applied.

9. The user equipment of claim 7, wherein the secondary cell is configured in a manner that a predefined downlink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) is applied.

10. The user equipment of claim 7, wherein the secondary cell is configured in a manner that an uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) set differently in accordance with a type of a control channel for receiving monitoring information is applied.

11. The user equipment of claim 7, wherein the secondary cell is configured in a manner that a predefined uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) is applied.

12. The user equipment of claim 7, wherein the control channel type is either the EPDCCH or the PDCCH.
