Abstract

A method for transmitting and receiving downlink (DL) data performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system according to the present disclosure includes receiving a first DL grant from a base station (BS); receiving first DL data based on the first DL grant from the BS; transmitting a HARQ response in response to the first DL data to the BS; and receiving one or more second DL data from the BS, and a specific frequency shift pattern is set in a frequency region between a resource in which the second DL data is received and a resource in which the first DL data is received, or between resources in which the second DL data are received.

Claims

wherein a specific frequency shift pattern in the frequency region is configured in a frequency region i) between a resource in which the second DL data is received and a resource in which the first DL data is received, or ii) between resources in which the second DL data is received, and

wherein a Physical Resource Block (PRB) index sequence of a DL data is shifted from a PRB index sequence of a previous DL data, based on a shift value configured by the specific frequency shift pattern.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first DL data is initial DL data, and

wherein the second DL data is retransmission data for the first DL data.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second DL data is received in a frequency shifted resource as much as a predetermined value from the resource in which the first DL data is received or from the resource in which the second DL data is received in a frequency region.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the specific frequency shift pattern is determined by Equation below,

Lowest PRB index_(t+1)^th_data=(Lowest PRB index_i^th_data+shift_n)%N_RB

herein, i represents an integer value satisfying condition 1≤

i≤

n, n represents a maximum HARQ retransmission count, i=1 represents an initial data transmission, shift_n represents an integer value satisfying the condition 0≤

shift_n≤

N_RB−

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the second DL data is received from the BS after a predetermined time from the time when the HARQ response is transmitted.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a retransmission indicator indicating that the second DL data is data which is retransmitted without a DL grant in relation to a reception of the second DL data.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the retransmission indicator is received from the BS by being multiplexed with the second DL data in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource region.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the retransmission indicator is allocated in a unit of resource element (RE) or in a unit of resource block (RB) in the PDSCH resource region.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein the retransmission indicator is allocated in a resource except the resource allocated for a reference signal (RS) or DL data.
