Method and apparatus for uplink multiple input multiple output (MIMO) transmission

A UE for performing uplink MIMO transmission, the UE comprising:

• a physical layer module including a reception module for receiving uplink scheduling control information from an eNB and a transmission module for performing initial transmission or retransmission of a first data block and a second data block;
• and
• a medium access control (MAC) layer module including a plurality of HARQ processes including a HARQ entity, a first HARQ process and a second HARQ process which are managed by the HARQ entity,
• wherein the MAC layer module is configured to control the transmission module to transmit the first data block and the second data block at a first subframe through the first HARQ process and the second HARQ process, respectively, and to control the transmission module to perform retransmission of the first data block at a third subframe on the basis of uplink scheduling control information on the first data block when the uplink scheduling control information on the first data block is received at a second subframe through the reception module,
• wherein the physical layer module transmits an acknowledgement (ACK) signal for the second data block to the MAC layer module when control information which indicates disabling of the second data block is received at the second subframe,
• wherein the MAC layer module sets a HARQ feedback information state on the second data block to an ACK state and controls retransmission of the second data block not to be performed until uplink scheduling control information on the second data block is received, and
• wherein the HARQ feedback information state on the second data block is set to the ACK state regardless whether any HARQ feedback information is indicated or HARQ feedback information indicates NACK state or ACK state.
