Patent ID: 8144571

Claim:
A method for transmitting data of a Node-B over a network of a wireless communication system employing multiple carriers, the method comprising: transmitting first indication information indicating first sub-carrier spacing of first cell through first control channel corresponding to first traffic channel; transmitting second indication information indicating second sub-carrier spacing of second cell through second control channel corresponding to second traffic channel; transmitting first data, which has been converted into a time-domain signal by sub-carriers having the first sub-carrier spacing therebetween, through the first traffic channel to first user equipment (UE) in the first cell; and transmitting second data, which has been converted into a time-domain signal by sub-carriers having the second sub-carrier spacing therebetween, through the second traffic channel to second user equipment (UE) in the second cell, the second sub-carrier spacing being different from the first sub-carrier spacing, wherein the first sub-carrier spacing is larger than the second sub-carrier spacing if a coverage of the first cell is larger than a coverage of the second cell, wherein a predetermined basic sub-carrier spacing of the wireless communication system is applied to the first control channel and the second control channel, and wherein each of the first indication information and the second indication information has been converted into a time-domain signal by sub-carriers having the predetermined basic sub-carrier spacing therebetween.
