Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to downlink/uplink data transmission in a wireless communication system. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for downlink data transmission in a wireless communication system which comprises transmitting an indication for a new-type reference signal to a user equipment, wherein the new-type reference signal has an identical location in frequency domain to a legacy reference signal; and transmitting the new-type reference signal and the legacy reference signal to the user equipment for using in channel estimation. In a case of more than one antenna port, the new-type reference signal may be designed to have a different location in time domain from a legacy reference signal to avoid interference to other antenna ports. With embodiments of the present disclosure, it is possible to perform a channel estimation based on both the legacy reference signal and the new-type reference signal to achieve a higher accuracy of channel estimation, and thus a UE with a low SNR may be also used in LTE networks.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to uplink data transmission in a wireless communication system. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for uplink data transmission in a wireless communication system. The method comprises transmitting an indication for new-type reference signals to a user equipment, wherein the new-type reference signals have a reduced density of reference signals in frequency domain, and resource elements not used by reference signals in symbols for the new-type reference signals are used for coverage enhancement; receiving the new-type reference signals; and performing channel estimation based on the new-type reference signals. With embodiments of the present disclosure, it may reduce the density of reference signals in frequency domain, which means the overhead will not be increased substantially and besides saved resource element may be used to implement the coverage enhancement. Thus, the number of retransmission of MTC UE in low SNR could be further reduced, which in turn results in the improvement of the system throughput. Accordingly, it is possible for a UE with a low SNR to be used in LTE networks.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for performing Transmission Time Interval (TTI) bundling in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system. One of the methods may comprise receiving a first TTI bundling packet containing a first part of a redundancy version of a transport block on a special subframe and a second TTI bundling packet containing a second part of the redundancy version on another special subframe; and combining the first TTI bundling packet and the second TTI bundling packet to obtain the redundancy version of the transport block in a complete form. With embodiments of the present disclosure, more configurations may be used in TTI bundling for enhancing coverage in the TDD system, and it may avoid additional interferences to legacy UEs.
