Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for transmitting/receiving data in a relay communication system. The method comprises the steps of: setting, as a guard band, the first predetermined number of symbol transmission slots of a data transmission period in a subframe resource element of a downlink channel constituted by a control signal transmission period to which a control signal is allocated and the data transmission period to which downlink data is allocated; allocating reference signals to symbols of the data transmission period; puncturing the symbols corresponding to the guard band from among the symbols to which said reference signals are allocated; and transmitting signals to which said reference signals are allocated.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a downlink reference signal in a wireless communication system supporting multiple antennas are discussed. A method for transmitting Channel State Information-Reference Signals (CSI-RSs) for eight or less antenna ports includes selecting one of a plurality of CSI-RS Resource Element (RE) groups defined on a data region of a downlink subframe and mapping CSI-RSs for the eight or less antenna ports to the selected CSI-RS RE group, and transmitting the downlink subframe in which the CSI-RSs for the eight or less antenna ports are mapped.
Abstract:
A method for performing HARQ includes: receiving information to determine downlink subframes used for a relay station to receive scheduling information from a BS; determining uplink subframes for performing a HARQ with the DL subframes, each of the UL subframes corresponding to each of the DL subframes; assigning sequentially each of a plurality of HARQ processes to each of the UL subframes one by one; and performing HARQ with the BS at at least one of the HARQ processes. An n-th subframe is configured for a corresponding UL subframe if an (n−4)-th subframe is configured for one of the DL subframes, n denoting an integer. The HARQ processes are equal in number to the UL subframes. The DL subframes are configured in at least one radio frame having 10 subframes indexed from 0 to 9. Subframes having indexes 0, 4, 5 and 9 are not configured as a DL subframe.
Abstract:
A method and a base station are described for transmitting a downlink signal in a wireless communication system. A configuration of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols for a first partition of a subframe are transmitted through high layer signaling. A relay-physical downlink control channel (R-PDCCH) contained in the first partition of the subframe is transmitted. If the R-PDCCH contains a downlink assignment, the first partition of the subframe is configured to be not used for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission.

Abstract:
A method is provided for transmitting a downlink signal by a base station in a wireless communication system. A configuration of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols is transmitted for a first partition of a subframe through higher layer signaling, and a Relay-Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) contained in at least the first partition of the subframe is also transmitted. If the R-PDCCH contains a downlink assignment, the first partition of the subframe is configured not to be used for a transmission of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) corresponding the R-PDCCH.

A method and apparatus for transmitting reference signals in a relay communication system are provided. The method transmits reference signals via a type 2 relay node in a relay communication system and includes a base station (BS) allocating a plurality of antenna ports in a mutually exclusive manner so that the antenna port of the BS and the antenna port of a peripheral relay node do not overlap each other, the BS and relay node transmitting reference signals to a user equipment (UE) via the corresponding antenna ports that are mutually exclusively allocated and the BS receiving channel state information from the UE to obtain channel state information between the BS and the UE and channel state information between the relay node and the UE.
