Method and apparatus for communicating in a wireless communication system

A method of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting time division duplex (TDD), the method comprising:

• receiving a system information block;
• identifying a plurality of downlink (DL) subframes indicated by configuration information in the system information block;
• obtaining first DL control information (DCI) for a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process and second DCI for a second HARQ process by monitoring a DL control channel on the plurality of DL subframes;
• and
• receiving first DL data for the first HARQ process based on the first DCI, and receiving second DL data for the second HARQ process based on the second DCI.

A method of a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system supporting time division duplex (TDD), the method comprising:

• transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a system information block including configuration information, the configuration information indicating a plurality of downlink (DL) subframes;
• transmitting, to the UE, first DL control information (DCI) for a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process and second DCI for a second HARQ process through a DL control channel on the plurality of DL subframes;
• and
• transmitting, to the UE, first DL data for the first HARQ process based on the first DCI, and transmitting, to the UE, second DL data for the second HARQ process based on the second DCI.

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting time division duplex (TDD), the UE comprising:

• a transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• control the transceiver to receive a system information block,
• identify a plurality of downlink (DL) subframes indicated by configuration information in the system information block,
• obtain first DL control information (DCI) for a first hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process and second DCI for a second HARQ process by monitoring a DL control channel on the plurality of DL subframes, and
• control the transceiver to receive first DL data for the first HARQ process based on the first DCI, and receive second DL data for the second HARQ process based on the second DCI.
