Abstract:
A method and a relay node are described for transmitting and receiving data. The relay node receives a downlink data in a subframe n−k from a base station. The subframe n−k is configured as a multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe by the relay node. The relay node transmits to the base station, in response to receiving the downlink data in the subframe n−k, an acknowledgement (ACK)/negative acknowledgement (NACK) in an uplink subframe n, where n is an index number of the uplink subframe for transmitting the ACK/NACK. A value of n is associated with a parameter indicating subframe configuration related with at least one hybrid automatic repeat request (HARM) process between the relay node and the base station. The value of k is equal to or greater than 4.
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 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.

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.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a data transmission/receiving method and apparatus in a relay communication system. In particular, the data transmission/receiving method through a backhaul link between a base station and a relay node in a relay communication system comprises: composing a backhaul subframe including a control signal transmission period to which a control signal is allocated and a backhaul signal transmission period to which a backhaul signal is allocated and then allocating the backhaul signal; transmitting configuration information about the backhaul subframe, the information containing symbol position or size data of the backhaul signal transmission period, to the relay node through an upper layer signal; and transmitting the backhaul signal having been allocated through the backhaul subframe to the relay node.
