A Radio Network Temporary Identity (RNTI) reception method of a terminal in a wireless communication system supporting inter-evolved Node B (eNB) carrier aggregation includes receiving cell information on at least one activated cell under control of an eNB, configuring first and second RNTIs allocated by the eNB, monitoring the at least one activated cell for the first RNTI, and monitoring a primary cell among the at least one activated cell for the second RNTI.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are described for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) bits in a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system. A method includes receiving a configuration of a plurality of cells, the plurality of cells being associated with one or more transport blocks; arranging HARQ-ACK bits for the plurality of cells, based on an order of cell indexes and an order of transport block indexes; encoding the arranged HARQ-ACK bits; and transmitting, to a node B, the encoded arranged HARQ-ACK bits in the PUSCH. 2 HARQ-ACK bits for a cell configured with 2 transport blocks are included in the arranged HARQ-ACK bits. The arranged HARQ-ACK bits are encoded by a (32, O) block code in case that a number of the arranged HARQ-ACK bits is 3, O being the number of the arranged HARQ-ACK bits.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for determining a resource for an acknowledgement signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. Information is received for transmission of the acknowledgement signal in an operating bandwidth. A resource block (RB) is determined for transmission of the acknowledgement signal, based on the information. The acknowledge signal is transmitted on the determined RB.

Abstract:
A device and method for handling HARQ feedback in a mobile communication system are disclosed. The HARQ feedback handling method includes: analyzing a control message from a base station to recognize presence of HARQ feedback relationships between downlink carriers and uplink carriers; determining an uplink carrier (a downlink carrier) to support HARQ feedback in response to downlink traffic (uplink traffic) sent through a downlink carrier (an uplink carrier); and sending (receiving) HARQ feedback through the determined uplink carrier (downlink carrier).
Abstract:
Methods for performing communication by a user equipment (UE) and a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, a UE, and a BS are provided. The method for performing communication by the UE includes identifying a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol for a downlink (DL) channel in a subframe based on higher layer signaling; identifying a bandwidth of the DL channel based on a modulo operation using a cell identity and a predetermined number; and receiving the DL channel in the subframe based on the starting OFDM symbol and the bandwidth.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described for a User Equipment (UE) to transmit in a control channel ACKnowledgement signals associated with a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest process (HARQ-ACK signals) in response to receiving Transport Blocks (TBs) transmitted from a base station. The UE conveys the HARQ-ACK information by selecting one resource from multiple resources in the control channel and by selecting a constellation point of the modulation scheme for the HARQ-ACK signal. Transmission diversity is supported using different control channel resources that are already available to the UE without configuring additional resources. Design principles are described to optimally map the HARQ-ACK information to control channel resources and modulation constellation points for a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system and for a Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system.
