Provided are a method for determining the number of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes in a carrier aggregated system configured with a plurality of serving cells, and an apparatus using such a method. The method receives data from a downlink subframe of a second serving cell, and transmits an ACK/NACK signal for the data from an uplink subframe of a first serving cell, wherein the first serving cell uses a first-type frame, the second serving cell uses a second-type frame, and the number of HARQ processes in the second serving cell are determined with respect to each subframe comprised in the second-type frame and on the basis of the number of downlink subframes comprised in each section comprising a set number of subframes.
