Abstract

The present invention relates a wireless access system which supports a full duplex radio (FDR) transmission environment. A method for receiving a signal from a base station by a terminal in the wireless access system which supports FDR transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving, from the base station, reference signal mode information indicating resources by which a reference signal is transmitted, from among reference signal available resources by which the reference signal can be transmitted; receiving, from the base station, additional resource mode information indicating additional data resources by which a terminal can simultaneously transmit data, from among the resources by which the reference signal is transmitted; and transmitting the data using the additional resource mode information simultaneously while receiving the reference signal using the reference signal mode information.

Claims

1. A method for receiving a signal from a Base Station (BS) by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless access system supporting Full Duplex Radio (FDR) transmission, the method comprising:

receiving, from the BS, reference signal mode information indicating resource elements on which a reference signal is transmitted among available reference signal resource elements allocated to transmit the reference signal;

receiving additional resource mode information indicating additional data resource elements for transmitting data among the resource elements indicated by the reference signal mode information; and

receiving the reference signal through the resource elements indicated by the reference signal mode information within a subframe and simultaneously transmitting the data through resource elements excluding the resource elements indicated by the reference signal mode information within the subframe and through the additional data resource elements indicated by the additional resource mode information.

2. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the reference signal mode information includes information indicating any one of:

a first mode for allocating the reference signal to all of the available reference signal resource elements;

a second mode for allocating the reference signal to part of the available reference signal resource elements;

a third mode for allocating the reference signal to resource elements except for resource elements for the second mode among the available reference signal resource elements; and

a fourth mode for not allocating the reference signal to all of the available reference signal resource elements.

3. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the additional resource mode information includes information indicating any one of:

a first mode for not allocating the additional data resource elements to all of the available reference signal resource elements;

a second mode for allocating the additional data resource elements to part of the available reference signal resource elements;

a third mode for allocating the additional data resource elements to resource elements except for resource elements for the second mode among the available reference signal resource elements; and

a fourth mode for allocating the additional data resource elements to all of the available reference signal resource elements.

4. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the sum of the resource elements on which the reference signal is transmitted according to the reference signal mode information and the additional data resource elements according to the additional resource mode information constitutes the available reference signal resource elements.

5. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the reference signal mode information is transmitted in every Transmit Time Interval (TTI).

6. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the reference signal mode information is transmitted in every Transmit Time Interval (TTI) of a reference value.

7. The method according to claim 1,

wherein the reference signal mode information is transmitted through a downlink control channel.

8. A User Equipment (UE) for receiving a signal from a Base Station (BS) in a wireless access system supporting Full Duplex Radio (FDR) transmission, the UE comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive radio signals to and from the BS; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to

receive, from the BS, reference signal mode information indicating resource elements on which a reference signal is transmitted among available reference signal resource elements allocated to transmit the reference signal,

receive additional resource mode information indicating additional data resource elements for transmitting data among the resource elements indicated by the reference signal mode information, and

receive the reference signal through the resource elements indicated by the reference signal mode information within a subframe and simultaneously transmit the data through resource elements excluding the resource elements indicated by the reference signal mode information within the subframe and through the additional data resource elements indicated by the additional resource mode information.

9. The UE according to claim 8,

wherein the reference signal mode information includes information indicating any one of:

a first mode for allocating the reference signal to all of the available reference signal resource elements;

a second mode for allocating the reference signal to part of the available reference signal resource elements;

a third mode for allocating the reference signal to resource elements except for resource elements for the second mode among the available reference signal resource elements; and

a fourth mode for not allocating the reference signal to all of the available reference signal resource elements.

10. The UE according to claim 8,

wherein the additional resource mode information includes information indicating any one of:

a first mode for not allocating the additional data resource elements to all of the available reference signal resource elements;

a second mode for allocating the additional data resource elements to part of the available reference signal resource elements;

a third mode for allocating the additional data resource elements to resource elements except for resource elements for the second mode among the available reference signal resource elements; and

a fourth mode for allocating the additional data resource elements to all of the available reference signal resource elements.

11. The UE according to claim 8,

wherein sum of the resource elements on which the reference signal is transmitted according to the reference signal mode information and the additional data resource elements according to the additional resource mode information constitutes the available reference signal resource elements.

12. The UE according to claim 8,

wherein the reference signal mode information is transmitted in every Transmit Time Interval (TTI).

13. The UE according to claim 8,

wherein the reference signal mode information is transmitted in every Transmit Time Interval (TTI) of a reference value.
