Abstract:
A device and method of operating carriers at a user equipment in a wireless communication system includes: configuring, by the user equipment, a plurality of carriers including a first carrier and a second carrier; receiving control information on an activation of the second carrier among the plurality of carriers; activating the second carrier; and deactivating the activated second carrier after a certain amount of time. The certain amount of time is based on a valid time of the activation of the second carrier. The valid time is defined by a number of frames.
Abstract:
A method for receiving feedback information by a user equipment (UE) includes: receiving scheduling information from a base station through a first downlink component carrier linked with a first uplink component carrier; determining resources on a second uplink component carrier other than the first uplink component carrier using said scheduling information, wherein said scheduling information allows cross-carrier scheduling which schedules the resources on the second uplink component carrier; transmitting data to the base station through the determined resources on the second uplink component carrier; determining a PHICH (a Physical Hybrid ARQ Indicator Channel) resource to receive feedback information for the data transmitted on the second uplink component carrier, wherein the PHICH resource is predetermined as that of the first downlink component carrier in which the scheduling information was received; and receiving the feedback information from the base station through the determined PHICH resource.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to wideband wireless access system, and more particularly to an effective method for transmitting control information during the combination of multiple carriers. As one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method by which a base station allocates a carrier to a terminal in a wideband wireless access system supporting multiple carriers, the method comprising: transmitting, to the terminal, a terminal specific or terminal group specific carrier allocation information that includes information about at least one of control information and data; and transmitting, to the terminal, a carrier combination control information that includes information about a change in the at least one candidate carrier available.
Abstract:
A method for allocating uplink and downlink physical channels to improve throughput of a wireless access system is disclosed. A method for allocating channels to optimize a wireless access system which supports radio frequencies comprises configuring one or more physical channels in a transmitter; allocating first physical channels to a receiver considering features of the one or more physical channels; and transmitting one or more control channels to the receiver through a predetermined physical channel of the first physical channels, the control channels including configuration information of the first physical channels allocated to the receiver.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting Acknowledgement/Negative-Acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) state information to a base station (BS) at a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method according to one embodiment includes receiving two or more transmission blocks through two or more downlink component carriers from the BS; and transmitting information on a number of ACK responses among ACK/NACK responses corresponding to each of the two or more transmission blocks through a single uplink component carrier to the BS.
Abstract:
A method for receiving Acknowledgement/Negative Acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) information at a base station in a wireless communication system. The method according to one embodiment includes transmitting a plurality of transport blocks through a plurality of downlink carriers to a user equipment. Each of the plurality of downlink carriers carries two or more transport blocks. The method according to the embodiment further includes, after transmitting the plurality of transport blocks, receiving the ACK/NACK information through one uplink carrier from the user equipment. The ACK/NACK information includes ACK/NACK bits corresponding to the plurality of transport blocks, and the ACK/NACK bits are concatenated in accordance with an index order of the downlink carriers and an index order of the two or more transport blocks associated with each of the downlink carriers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for supporting carrier aggregation. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for enabling user equipment to receive a signal from a base station in a wireless communication system which supports carrier aggregation, wherein said the method comprises the steps of: setting a first component carrier to a paused state; receiving state change information for the first component carrier via the second component carrier during the paused state of the first component carrier; and monitoring a control channel via the first component carrier if the state change information indicates a predetermined value. The present invention also relates to an apparatus for the method.
