Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging IoT technology with 5G communication systems for supporting higher data transmission rates than 4G systems and to a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (e.g. smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security- and safety-related services, etc.) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. The method for data decoding by a terminal in a wireless communication system according to the present disclosure comprises the steps of: receiving subframes on the basis of a configuration; obtaining at least one channel phase value on the basis of available subframes, which are configured to transmit identical downlink data, among the received subframes; correcting the other channel phase value(s) with any one of said at least one obtained channel phase value as a reference value; and decoding the downlink data by means of the reference value and the corrected channel phase value(s).

Claims

1. A method of a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a configuration message including first information on available subframes for a downlink data transmission and second information on a number of subframes configured to carry a same downlink data repetitively;

identifying the available subframes configured to carry the same downlink data among a plurality of subframes based on the first information and the second information;

acquiring channel phase values for the available subframes;

compensating for, using one of the channel phase values as a reference value, a remaining channel phase value; and

decoding the same downlink data using the reference value and the compensated remaining channel phase value.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the compensating for the remaining channel phase value comprises compensating for a phase difference between the reference value and the remaining channel phase value.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the configuration message further comprises third information on a narrowband configuration.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the channel phase values are acquired for the available subframes per an available subframe.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the channel phase values are acquired for the available subframes per a subframe group, the subframe group comprising at least two contiguous available subframes among the available subframes.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the plurality of subframes comprise at least one unavailable subframe that is not configured to carry the same downlink data, and the subframe group is identified by the at least one unavailable subframe.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein compensating for the remaining channel phase value comprises:

compensating for a phase difference between the reference value and the remaining channel phase value weighted according to a number of subframes per the subframe group.

8. A terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to;

receive a configuration message including first information on available subframes for a downlink data transmission and second information on a number of subframes configured to carry a same downlink data repetitively,

identify the available subframes configured to carry the same downlink data among a plurality of subframes based on the first information and the second information,

acquire channel phase values for the available subframes,

compensate for, using one of the channel phase values as a reference value, a remaining channel phase value, and

decode the same downlink data using the reference value and the compensated remaining channel phase value.

9. The terminal of claim 8, wherein the controller is configured to compensate for a phase difference between the reference value and the remaining channel phase value.

10. The terminal of claim 8, wherein the configuration message further comprises third information on a narrowband configuration.

11. The terminal of claim 8, wherein the channel phase values are acquired for the available subframes per an available subframe.

12. The terminal of claim 8, wherein the channel phase values are acquired for the available subframes per a subframe group, the subframe group comprising at least two contiguous available subframes among the available subframes.

13. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the plurality of subframes comprise at least one unavailable subframe that is not configured to carry the same downlink data, and the subframe group is identified by the at least one unavailable subframe.

14. The terminal of claim 12, wherein the controller is configured to compensate for a phase difference between the reference value and the remaining channel phase value weighted according to a number of subframes per the subframe group.
