Abstract

A method for a transmitting side transmitting a signal for low transmission latency in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: mapping a signal to at least one subframe; and the transmitting side transmitting the signal to a receiving side. Here, the at least one subframe is a legacy subframe comprising L number of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, or an advanced subframe comprising N number of OFDM symbols, wherein the advanced subframe may be transmitted twice or more times within the transmission period of the legacy subframe.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting a signal for low transmission latency in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

mapping a signal to at least one advanced subframe included in a radio frame; and

transmitting, by a transmitting side, the at least one advanced subframe to a receiving side,

wherein the radio frame comprises the at least one advanced subframe and at least one special symbol separated from the at least one advanced subframe,

wherein the at least one advanced subframe comprises N number of symbols, wherein N is smaller than or equal to 3, and

wherein the at least one special symbol is transmitted in a different time duration from a transmission time duration of the at least one advanced subframe.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the radio frame includes at least two advanced subframes.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one special symbol includes control and/or configuration information on the at least one advanced subframe.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the transmitting includes transmitting of at least one legacy subframe comprising L number of symbols, L being at least 12.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein a symbol of the N number of symbols is an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) symbol or a Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbol.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the N number of symbols included in the advanced subframe is determined based on a transmission latency value.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the different time duration and the transmission time duration of the at least one advanced subframe are located within a transmission time duration of a legacy subframe.

8. The method according to claim 1, wherein data is transmitted through a data channel in the at least one advanced subframe, and the control information is transmitted through a control channel by the at least one special symbol.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one special symbol is used for transmission of at least one of a downlink physical control channel, a downlink synchronization signal, a reference signal or an acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) signal, or measurement of interference.
