  • Patent number: 9515811
    Abstract: A method, base station, and terminal employing time division duplex and carrier aggregation are disclosed. The method by the base station includes transmitting, to a terminal, scheduling information on a control channel of a first cell, and transmitting, to the terminal, data on a shared channel of a second cell based on the scheduling information. The scheduling information is transmitted in a first downlink subframe or a first subframe including downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS) based on first subframe configuration information of the first cell. The data is transmitted in a second downlink subframe or a second subframe including DwPTS corresponding to the first downlink subframe or the first subframe. The first subframe configuration information of the first cell is different from second subframe configuration information of the second cell.

  • Publication number: 20160338022
    Abstract: Disclosed are a device and a method for transmitting control information in a base station the supports a high-speed data service for a primary cell (PCell) area and a secondary cell (SCell) area. To this end, control information is generated according to a format which is determined by considering a primary duplex mode supported in the PCell area and a secondary duplex mode supported in the SCell area. The generated control information is transmitted to a downlink control channel. The primary duplex mode and the secondary duplex mode correspond to either a frequency division duplex (FDD) mode or a time division duplex (TDD) mode so as to be different from each other.
