Abstract

Provided is a method for receiving a downlink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, comprising: receiving a plurality of parameter sets for Semi Persistent Scheduling (SPS)-physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) through higher layer signaling; receiving a downlink control information (DCI) configuring the SPS-PDSCH; and decoding the SPS-PDSCH using one of the received plurality of parameter sets, wherein the parameter set to be used for decoding is determined based on whether an indicator indicating the parameter set to be used for decoding is included in the DCI.

Claims

1. A method for receiving a downlink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving a plurality of parameter sets for Semi Persistent Scheduling (SPS)-physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) through higher layer signaling;

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) configuring the SPS-PDSCH;

determining a parameter set to be used for decoding the SPS-PDSCH among the received plurality of parameter sets based on whether an indicator indicating that the parameter set to be used for decoding the SPS-PDSCH is included in the DCI; and

decoding the SPS-PDSCH using the determined parameter set,

wherein the parameter set to be used for decoding the SPS-PDSCH is determined as a predetermined one of the received plurality of parameter sets when the indicator is not included in the DCI.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of parameter sets includes information regarding a starting symbol position of the SPS-PDSCH.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of parameter sets includes resource element (RE) mapping pattern information related to specific reference signal(s).

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein:

if the SPS-PDSCH is received in a MBSFN (Multimedia Broadcast multicast service Single Frequency Network) subframe, a starting symbol position of the SPS-PDSCH is restricted to a starting symbol position of a downlink data channel of the MBSFN subframe.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the user equipment (UE) is configured in transmission mode 10.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the user equipment (UE) is configured to receive the downlink signal from at least two eNBs.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein

the parameter set is used to decode the SPS-PDSCH until receiving new DCI configuring the SPS-PDSCH.

15. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

if the DCI configuring the SPS-PDSCH includes the indicator which indicates the parameter set to be used for decoding, the determined parameter set is the parameter set indicated by the indicator.

8. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a downlink control signal in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to;

control the RF unit,

receive a plurality of parameter sets for Semi Persistent Scheduling (SPS)-physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) through higher layer signaling,

receive a downlink control information (DCI) configuring the SPS-PDSCH,

determine a parameter set to be used for decoding the SPS-PDSCH among the received plurality of parameter sets based on whether an indicator indicating that the parameter set to be used for decoding the SPS-PDSCH is included in the DCI; and

decode the SPS-PDSCH using the determined parameter set,

wherein the parameter set to be used for decoding the SPS-PDSCH is determined as a predetermined one of the received plurality of parameter sets when the indicator is not included in the DCI.

9. The user equipment (UE) according to claim 8, wherein each of the plurality of parameter sets includes information regarding a starting symbol position of the SPS-PDSCH.

10. The user equipment (UE) according to claim 8, wherein each of the plurality of parameter sets includes resource element (RE) mapping pattern information related to specific reference signal(s).

11. The user equipment (UE) according to claim 8, wherein:

if the SPS-PDSCH is received in a MBSFN (Multimedia Broadcast multicast service Single Frequency Network) subframe, a starting symbol position of the SPS-PDSCH is restricted to a starting symbol position of a downlink data channel of the MBSFN subframe.

12. The user equipment (UE) according to claim 8, wherein the user equipment (UE) is configured in transmission mode 10.

13. The user equipment (UE) according to claim 8, wherein the user equipment (UE) is configured to receive the downlink signal from at least two eNBs.

14. The user equipment (UE) according to claim 8, wherein the parameter set is used to decode the SPS-PDSCH until receiving new DCI configuring the SPS-PDSCH.

16. The user equipment (UE) according to claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to:

if the DCI configuring the SPS-PDSCH includes the indicator which indicates the parameter set to be used for decoding, the determined parameter set is the parameter set indicated by the indicator.
