Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for communicating in a network supporting licensed and unlicensed bands. A terminal operation method comprises the steps of: detecting a control channel of a subframe #n transmitted from a base station; obtaining, from the control channel, a DCI for an uplink grant; executing channel sensing on the basis of channel connection-related information included in the DCI; and transmitting, to the base station, a subframe #(n+1) if the result of executing channel sensing is an idle state. Thus, the performance of the communication network may be improved.
Abstract:
Disclosed are operation methods of a communication node in a network supporting licensed and unlicensed bands. An operation method of a user equipment (UE) may comprises receiving, from a base station, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including downlink control information (DCI) in a subframe n−1 of an unlicensed band; decoding the DCI using a common radio network temporary identifier (RNTI); and identifying the number of symbols of the subframe n−1 or a subframe n based on the decoded DCI. Therefore, a performance of the network can be enhanced.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device and method for allocating a coexistence resource in an unlicensed band. The device according to the present invention comprises: a frame configuration unit for configuring a subframe in which data and a reference signal for a channel in an unlicensed band are allocated, and allocating a part of the symbols of the subframe as a coexistence resource; a signal detection unit for detecting a signal of another LTE system or Wi-Fi system during a transmission idle period where the coexistence resource is allocated; and a transmission processing unit which, when the signal of another system is detected during the transmission idle period, does not occupy a resource for the next subframe, and when the occupation of the coexistence resource by the another system has ended, occupies the resource for the next subframe.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for avoiding signal interference between access points (APs) in a non-license band, and more particularly, an interference avoidance apparatus and method between access points (APs) that avoid interference based on whether an overlapping basic service set (OBSS) is present, whether an overlapping operation channel between adjacent APs is used, whether it is possible to select a non-overlapping operation channel between adjacent APs, and the like.
