Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wireless access system which supports a machine-type communication (MTC), and more specifically, provides a method for repeatedly transmitting a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) for an MTC, and apparatuses for supporting same. The method for transmitting a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in a wireless access system which supports a machine-type communication (MTC), according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: broadcasting a legacy PBCH through a legacy transmission region; and broadcasting an MTC PBCH through an MTC transmission region. The legacy transmission region may consist of six resource blocks (RBs) at a frequency axial center of a second slot of a first subframe of each frame, and the MTC transmission region may consist of any subframe other than the first subframe of each frame.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving channel status information (CSI) for supporting 256 QAM in a wireless access system are disclosed. A method for transmitting a Channel Quality Indication (CQI) index for 256 QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) in a wireless access system includes: receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a message including a 256 QAM indicator indicating use of a 256 QAM scheme; performing channel measurement of a downlink channel through which downlink data is transmitted; and transmitting a CQI index in response to the channel measurement result to a base station (BS), wherein the UE simultaneously manages a first CQI feedback table for supporting a legacy modulation scheme and a second CQI feedback table for supporting the 256 QAM scheme.
Abstract:
The present invention enables an increase in data transmission performance by variously applying precoding to open and closed-loop MIMOs. An eNB in the present invention applies an identical precoder to neighboring PRBs scheduled in UE in the closed-loop MIMO, and applies an non-identical precoder to neighboring PRBs scheduled in UE in an open-loop MIMO. The UE variously introduces a precoder applied to neighboring PRBs scheduled in the UE according to whether the MIMO set in the UE is the closed-loop MIMO or the open-loop MIMO.
Abstract:
A method and a user equipment (UE) are described for decoding data in a wireless access system. A higher layer signal is received that includes an indication that 256 quadrature amplitude modulation (256QAM) is to be enabled. In one embodiment, downlink control information (DCI) is received via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). Data is received via the PDSCH. The received data is decoded using one of two modulation and coding scheme (MCS) index tables. The UE has a first MCS index table supporting up to 64 quadrature amplitude modulation (64QAM) and a second MCS index table supporting up to 256QAM. The received data is decoded based on only the first MCS index table even though the 256QAM has been enabled, when a format of the DCI is a DCI format 1A.
Abstract:
A method for receiving downlink data in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment receives downlink control information via a downlink control channel in a subframe. The downlink control information includes reference signal (RS) information and physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) information. The RS information indicates transmission antenna ports, a scrambling identity and a number of transmission layers. The user equipment receives a RS for demodulating a PDSCH based on the RS information in the subframe. The RS is generated based on the scrambling identity. The user equipment receives downlink data via the PDSCH in the subframe. Resource element (RE) mapping information on REs assigned for the PDSCH is determined based on the PDSCH information.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for performing an open loop MIMO transmission based on a user equipment-specific reference signal (UE-RS), which is transmitted only for data that is allocated to a specific resource region, and provides a method and an apparatus for receiving the open loop MIMO transmission.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting a reference signal. A method for receiving a reference signal may comprise the steps of: a subframe including a plurality of resource blocks (RB) and a plurality of OFDM symbols receiving a synchronization signal; and determining the number of RBs which are included in one precoding resource block group (PRB), on the basis of the size of a total system bandwidth, wherein the RBs included in the PRG may include information to which identical precoding has been applied. The synchronization signal is received by six core RBs from the plurality of RBs, and the reference signal can be received by at least one OFDM symbol from the plurality of OFDM symbols, excluding the first and second OFDM symbols, through a plurality of PRGs including the six core RBs. As a result, a channel can be accurately estimated on the basis of the reference signal.
Abstract:
Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) for carrier aggregation, that involves setting a first cell having a first time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink (UL-DL) configuration and a second cell having a second TDD UL-DL configuration; receiving data through a DL subframe of the first cell; and saving at least a portion of the data to a HARQ soft buffer when decoding is unsuccessful. The size of the HARQ soft buffer is determined based on the number of HARQ processes of the first cell, which, in turn, is determined based on the number of subframes of which the first cell is the DL within a specific HARQ round trip time, wherein at least one subframe of which the first cell is the DL and the second cell is the UL is excluded when determining the number of the HARQ processes.

The present invention provides a scheduling method in a wireless personal area network (WPAN) system and a device therefor. Specifically, a method for allocating a guaranteed time slot (GTS) in a WPNA system comprises the steps of: receiving a GTS request command for requesting periodic GTS allocation from a device; and transmitting a beacon frame which includes periodic GTS allocation information to the device, wherein a GTS allocation interval is determined by GTS interval information included in the GTS request command, and an allocated periodic GTS expires if data or an acknowledgement (ACK) frame is not transmitted from the device within a section determined by the GTS allocation interval.
