Abstract

A method for receiving control information for removing interference of an adjacent cell in a wireless access system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving, from a serving cell, indication information expressing whether the number of resource blocks in the serving cell and in the adjacent cell match, and whether the number of antennas in the serving cell and in the adjacent cell are match; receiving a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) of the adjacent cell when the number of resource blocks and/or the number of antennas do not match; and determining the number of resource blocks and/or the number of antennas of the adjacent cell from the physical broadcast channel in the adjacent cell that has been received.

Claims

1. A method for receiving control information for removing interference of an adjacent cell in a wireless access system, the method for receiving control information comprising:

receiving, from a serving cell, indication information expressing whether numbers of resource blocks in a serving cell and in an adjacent cell match, and whether numbers of antennas in the serving cell and in the adjacent cell match;

receiving a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) of the adjacent cell when the numbers of resource blocks and/or the numbers of antennas do not match; and

determining the number of resource blocks and/or the number of antennas of the adjacent cell from the physical broadcast channel in the adjacent cell that has been received.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication information is given a matching value when both the numbers of resource blocks and the numbers of antennas match, and

wherein the indication information is given a non-matching value when at least one of the numbers does not match.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein, if the indication information is given a matching value, the number of resource blocks and the number of antennas of the adjacent cell are determined from the received physical broadcast channel of the adjacent cell.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication information comprises first information indicating whether or not the numbers of resource blocks match, and second information indicating whether or not the numbers of antennas match.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein information corresponding to the non-match is determined from the received physical broadcast channel of the adjacent cell when at least one of the first information and the second information indicates a non-match.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication information is received through a MIB (Master Information Block) message.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication information is received through a RA-RNTI (Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) message.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication information is received through a PDSCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel).

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication information is received through a MAC (Medium Access Control) control element.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication information is received through a RRC (Radio Resource Control) message.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication information is received through a SIB (System Information Block) message.

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving CRS of the adjacent cell by using the number of resource blocks of the adjacent cell and the number of antennas of the adjacent cell.

13. The method of claim 12, further comprising:

estimating a channel of the adjacent cell by using the CRS of the adjacent cell.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

controlling interference caused by the adjacent cell in a receiving signal transmitted from the serving cell by using the estimated channel of the adjacent cell.

15. A user equipment receiving control information for removing interference of an adjacent cell in a wireless access system, the user equipment comprising:

a RF (Radio Frequency) unit; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to;

receive, from a serving cell, indication information expressing whether numbers of resource blocks in a serving cell and in an adjacent cell match, and whether numbers of antennas in the serving cell and in the adjacent cell match,

receive a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) of the adjacent cell when the numbers of resource blocks and/or the numbers of antennas do not match, and

determine the number of resource blocks and/or the number of antennas of the adjacent cell from the physical broadcast channel in the adjacent cell that has been received.
