Abstract
Provided is a method and apparatus for controlling soft buffer for TDD-FDD carrier aggregation. The method includes: establishing a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with a base station through a first serving cell, the first serving cell supporting a Time Division Duplex (TDD) mode; receiving an RRC message from the base station through the first serving cell, the RRC message comprising carrier aggregation (CA) configuration information, the CA configuration information comprising information of a second serving cell supporting a Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) mode; determining a maximum number of DL HARQ processes for the second serving cell, the maximum number of DL HARQ processes for the second serving cell being differently determined according to a DL reference timing; and storing soft channel bits for a received transport block (TB) based on the determined maximum number of DL HARQ processes for the second serving cell.
