Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for transmitting and receiving a signal by an inband full duplex (IBFD) base station in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of: receiving respective uplink signals that repeat K times in K time intervals; and transmitting K-N downlink signals in K-N time intervals while the uplink signals are received in the K time intervals, wherein the N time intervals in the K time intervals are used for handling interference received by one or more terminals receiving the downlink signals from one or more terminals transmitting the uplink signals.

Claims

1. A method of transmitting and receiving signals by an IBFD (inband full duplex) base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving uplink signals, which are repeated K times, in K time intervals, respectively; and

transmitting (K-N) downlink signals in (K-N) time intervals while receiving the uplink signals in the K time intervals,

wherein among the K time intervals, the N time intervals are used for cancelling an interference, which one or more user equipments that transmit the uplink signals cause to one or more user equipments that receive the downlink signals, and

wherein the cancelling of the interference is performed in such a manner that the one or more user equipments that receive the downlink signals eliminate signal components received in the N time intervals when decoding the (K-N) downlink signals.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein in case N=1 and the downlink signals are expressed as follows:

3. The method of claim 1, wherein when the uplink signals repeated K times are received, a different channel is used in each of the K time intervals.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein when the base station has K predetermined antenna modes, the K predetermined antenna modes are respectively applied to the K time intervals.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the base station assumes that channel states are not changed in the K time intervals.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein when channel states are changed in the K time intervals, the N time intervals are located at a center of the K time intervals.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the N time intervals are located at an end of the K time intervals.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the time interval corresponds to any one of an OFDM symbol, a slot, and a subframe.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the number of the user equipments that receive the downlink signals is K.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the base station comprises a reconfigurable antenna.

11. A base station apparatus in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a receiver; and

a processor configured to control the receiver,

wherein the processor is configured to respectively receive uplink signals repeated K times in K time intervals and transmit (K-N) downlink signals in (K-N) time intervals while receiving the uplink signals in the K time intervals, and

wherein among the K time intervals, the N time intervals are used for cancelling an interference, which one or more user equipments that transmit the uplink signals cause to one or more user equipments that receive the downlink signals, and

wherein the cancelling of the interference is performed in such a manner that the one or more user equipments that receive the downlink signals eliminate signal components received in the N time intervals when decoding the (K-N) downlink signals.
