Abstract:
Disclosed is a sounding reference signal transmission method which is efficient in an uplink wireless telecommunications system using a multiple antenna technique and sounding reference signal hopping. A terminal is equipped with a plurality of antennas, and a base station receives the sounding reference signal transmitted from these antennas and estimates the uplink channel state of each antenna. The sounding reference signal performs frequency hopping so that the base station determines the channel condition for the entire bandwidth to which data is transmitted in the uplink system. In this environment, the sounding reference signal is transmitted through an antenna pattern through the entire data transmission bandwidth of the uplink system for each antenna of the terminal without additional overhead.

A method, base station, and terminal employing time division duplex and carrier aggregation are disclosed. The method by the base station includes transmitting, to a terminal, scheduling information on a control channel of a first cell, and transmitting, to the terminal, data on a shared channel of a second cell based on the scheduling information. The scheduling information is transmitted in a first downlink subframe or a first subframe including downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS) based on first subframe configuration information of the first cell. The data is transmitted in a second downlink subframe or a second subframe including DwPTS corresponding to the first downlink subframe or the first subframe. The first subframe configuration information of the first cell is different from second subframe configuration information of the second cell.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving reference signals in Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems includes determining whether a dedicated reference signal is detected in a current subframe; estimating, if a dedicated reference signal is detected in the current subframe, a data channel using the dedicated reference signal to receive data; and estimating, if no dedicated reference signal is detected in the current subframe, a data channel using a common reference signal detected in the current subframe to receive data. The transmission scheme uses a DeModulation Reference Signal (DM-RS) for channel response estimation. To secure backward compatibility of the LTE-A system, a Common Reference Signal is transmitted in normal subframes.
