Abstract:
The present invention relates to a radio access system that supports an unlicensed band, and provides methods for controlling a contention window size (CWS) for performing uplink LBT, methods for effectively utilizing a radio resource even when an uplink data transmission fails, and apparatuses supporting the same. As an embodiment of the present invention, a method for controlling a contention window size (CWS) for transmitting uplink data in a radio access system supporting an unlicensed band by a user equipment, may comprise the steps of: receiving, from an evolved node B, a radio signal including CSW control information indicating information required for controlling a CWS; controlling the CWS on the basis of the CWS control information; performing a listen before talk (LBT) process using the controlled CWS; and transmitting uplink data when a result of the LBT process shows that an unlicensed band is in an idle state.
