Abstract: A DTV transmitting system includes a frame encoder, a randomizer, a block processor, a group formatter, a deinterleaver, and a packet formatter. The frame encoder builds an enhanced data frame and adds parity data into the data frame. The frame encoder further divides the data frame into first and second sub-frames including first and second portions of the parity data, respectively, and permutes a plurality of the first sub-frames and a plurality of the second sub-frames, respectively. The randomizer randomizes enhanced data in the permuted sub-frames, and the block processor codes the randomized data at a rate of 1/N1. The group formatter forms a group of enhanced data having one or more data regions and inserts the 1/N1 coded data into at least one of the data regions. The deinterleaver deinterleaves the group of enhanced data, and the packet formatter formats the deinterleaved data into enhanced data packets.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting reception acknowledgement for an HARQ (hybrid automatic repeat request) in a wireless communication system. A terminal receives the information on downlink resource allocation through at least one downlink carrier among plural downlink carriers. In addition, the terminal receives a downlink transmission block through a downlink shared channel indicated by the downlink resource allocation. The terminal transmits an ACK/NACK signal for the downlink transmission block through an uplink control channel. If at least one downlink carrier is a primary carrier, the uplink control channel uses a primary resource. Otherwise, the uplink control channel uses a secondary resource.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for a serving base station in a wireless communication system to mitigate inter-cell interference. More specifically, the method comprises the steps of: allocating a first resource for a terminal existing in a first region in which the coverage of the serving base station and the coverage of a neighboring base station are overlapped with each other; and allocating a second resource with the first resource for a terminal existing in a second region of the coverage of the serving base station, which is outside of the coverage of the neighboring base station. Desirably, the first resource is for the serving base station only with reuse factor of ½, and the second resource is shared with the neighboring base station with reuse factor of 1.
