## Abstract

The present application relates to a method performed by a terminal for transmitting uplink data (UL data) in a wireless communication system supporting a low latency service, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a UL grant for transmitting initial data from a base station; transmitting the initial data to the base station on the basis of the received UL grant; receiving, from the base station, non-acknowledgement (NACK) for the transmission of the initial data and a simple UL grant comprising resource information related to the retransmission of the initial data; and performing the retransmission of the initial data on the basis of the received simple UL grant.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), uplink (UL) data in a wireless communication system that supports a low latency system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a first UL grant for initial data
transmitting, to the base station, the initial data based on the first UL grant;
generating a transport block related to a retransmission of the initial data;
receiving, from the base station, a negative acknowledgement (NACK) for the initial data and a second UL grant,
wherein the second UL grant includes a position of a physical resource for the transport block;
mapping the transport block to the position of the physical resource based on the second UL grant; and
transmitting, to the base station, the transport block on the physical resource.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1,
wherein the second UL grant further includes at least one of a subframe offset (SF_offset) field representing a subframe (SF) offset from a SF on which the base station transmits the second UL grant, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process ID (HARQ PID) field representing a HARQ process ID that corresponds to retransmission data, a RBSTART field representing an index of a resource allocation start resource of the transport block or a redundancy version (RV) field representing a version of redundancy in HARQ of incremental redundancy scheme.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the NACK is received through a Physical Hybrid-ARQ Indicator Channel (PHICH), and
wherein the second UL grant is received through a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein when the initial data is data having a fixed size, a first format of the first UL grant is same as a second format of the second UL grant.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, further comprising transmitting, to the base station, control information representing whether the initial data is general data or data of a fixed size.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, wherein the control information is transmitted to the base station through a scheduling request (SR).

### Claim 7

A method for transmitting, by a base station, uplink (UL) data in a wireless communication system that supports a low latency system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a first UL grant for initial data;
receiving, from the UE, the initial data;
transmitting, to the UE, a second UL grant and a negative acknowledgement (NACK), when decoding of the received initial data is failed,
wherein the second UL grant includes a position of a physical resource for a transport block related to a retransmission of the initial data; and
receiving, from the UE, the transport block on the physical resource.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the second UL grant further includes at least one of a subframe offset (SF_offset) field representing a subframe (SF) offset from a SF for transmitting the second UL grant to the UE, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process ID (HARQ PID) field representing a HARQ process ID that corresponds to retransmission data, a RBSTART field representing an index of a resource allocation start resource of the transport block or a redundancy version (RV) field representing a version of redundancy in HARQ of incremental redundancy scheme.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein the NACK is transmitted through a Physical Hybrid-ARQ Indicator Channel (PHICH), and
wherein the second UL grant is transmitted through a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH).

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein when the initial data is data having a fixed size, a first format of the first UL grant is same as a second format of the second UL grant.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, further comprising receiving control information representing whether the initial data is general data or data of a fixed size.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The method of claim 11, wherein the control information is transmitted to the base station through a scheduling request (SR).

### Claim 13

A user equipment (UE) transmitting uplink (UL) data in a wireless communication system that supports a low latency system, the UE comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and
a processor functionally connected to the RF unit,
wherein the processor is configured to perform:
receiving, from a base station, a first UL grant for initial data;
transmitting, to the base station, the initial data based on the first UL grant;
generating a transport block related to a retransmission of the initial data;
receiving, from the base station, a negative acknowledgement (NACK) for the initial data and a second UL grant,
wherein the second UL grant includes a position of a physical resource for the transport block;
mapping the transport block to the position of the physical resource based on the second UL grant; and
transmitting, to the base station, the transport block on the physical resource.
