A method and wireless equipment for performing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) in a wireless communication system are provided. The wireless equipment receives TB from a base station, and determines whether it is possible to completely perform decoding on the TB within a timing at which HARQ ACK/NACK for the TB is transmitted. If it is determined that it is difficult to completely perform the decoding on the TB, the wireless equipment transmits a discontinuous transmission (DTX) signal indicating the decoding on the TB was skipped to the base station.
