Abstract:
A method is provided for a User Equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system. The method includes monitoring a control channel candidate with a downlink control information (DCI) format size in a plurality of search spaces. Each of the plurality of search spaces corresponds to a respective carrier indicator field (CIF) value. The method further includes transmitting or receiving data using downlink control information which is detected by monitoring the control channel candidate. In a state that control channel candidates have different values of carrier indicator field for the DCI format size, the control channel candidate with the DCI format size is received in any search space corresponding to any of the different values of carrier indicator field for the DCI format size.

Abstract:
Provided are a method and an apparatus for a user equipment, which is allocated a plurality of serving cells, receiving acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: transmitting uplink data through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and receiving ACK/NACK with respect to the uplink through a physical hybrid-ARQ indicator channel (PHICH), wherein a serving cell that receives the ACK/NACK is selected from one or more serving cells, which the user equipment monitors to detect an uplink grant that schedules the PUSCH.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting channel status information of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE reports first channel information to a base station periodically; and reports second channel information to the base station periodically. The first channel information and the second channel information are pieces of information combined to indicate one precoding matrix. The second channel information reported in a specific subframe is calculated based on last reported first channel information. A channel quality indicator (CQI) reported in the specific subframe is calculated based on one precoding matrix indicated by the last reported first channel information and the second channel information reported in the specific subframe.
Abstract:
A method is provided for performing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) by a user equipment (UE). An uplink (UL) grant for a first subframe of a second serving cell is received through a first serving cell. UL data in the first subframe of the second serving cell is transmitted according to the UL grant. When a not-acknowledgement (NACK) for the UL data is received through a physical HARQ indicator channel (PHICH) in a subframe i of the first serving cell, the UE performs a non-adaptive retransmission for the UL data in a second subframe of the second serving cell. When a PHICH resource corresponding to the UL data is not present in the subframe i, the UE does not perform the non-adaptive retransmission in the second subframe of the second serving cell.
Abstract:
A method, a user equipment, and a base station for maintaining uplink synchronization in a wireless communication system supporting carrier aggregation are discussed. The method of maintaining uplink synchronization at a user equipment according to an embodiment includes receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) order. The PDCCH order indicates an initiation of a random access procedure and includes a carrier indicator field and a predefined set of values of a 1-bit flag indicating a localized/distributed resource block assignment, and a resource block assignment field. The method further includes transmitting a random access preamble through an uplink component carrier corresponding to a value of the carrier indicator field among a plurality of uplink component carriers.

Abstract:
A method of controlling an uplink transmission in a wireless communications system, and a user equipment therefore are discussed. The method according to one embodiment includes configuring the user equipment with multiple component carriers; receiving first configuration information for allocating one or more component carrier sets; receiving second configuration information for periodically transmitting an uplink signal; receiving control information for configuring states of component carriers, by which a downlink component carrier and an uplink component carrier are controlled to be in a same state; and performing a procedure for periodically transmitting the uplink signal on an uplink component carrier in use of the first configuration information, the second configuration information and the control information. When the uplink component carrier is in the active state, a transmission of the uplink signal is performed. When the uplink component carrier is in the non-active state, the transmission of the uplink signal is skipped.
