Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving Downlink Control Information (DCI) in a wireless communication system. A method for transmitting DCI by a base station includes generating the DCI including at least one of a data format indicator for at least one Transport Block (TB), and a DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) resource allocation indicator corresponding to the at least one TB; and sending the DCI to a terminal. The DMRS resource allocation indicator includes a rank pattern for the at least one TB, an allocated scrambling code type, and DMRS port information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting Channel State Information Reference Symbol (CSI-RS) and data with partial muting of the CSI-RS are proposed. The method includes determining a CSI-RS pattern to be used among CSI-RS pattern candidates, determining a muting pattern for muting some resource elements constituting CSI-RS pattern candidates except for the determined CSI-RS pattern, mapping data symbols and CSI-RS to resource elements in a resource grid with rate patching in consideration of the CSI-RS pattern and muting pattern, and transmitting the data symbols and CSI-RS to a terminal.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for simultaneously communicating on at least two carrier frequencies, of which at least one carrier frequency is a licensed band and at least one carrier frequency is an unlicensed band, includes broadcasting an operating status of the unlicensed band to a receiver device, collecting feedback data regarding channel conditions from the receiver device for both the licensed band and unlicensed band, determining, when a bandwidth request is received from the receiver device, whether to use the unlicensed band based on the channel conditions, transmitting an unlicensed band scheduling indication to the receiver device, and communicating with the receiver device using both the licensed band and the unlicensed band according to the transmitted unlicensed band scheduling indication.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system, the method comprising of determining a CSI-RS pattern type based on a Physical Resource Block (PRB) index of a subframe, assigning, when the subframe is supposed to carry the CSI-RS, CSI-RSs of first to Nth antenna ports to first to Nth Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols of a PRB based on the CSI-RS pattern type, and transmitting the subframe including the PRB in which CSI-RSs of the first to Nth antennas a mapped, wherein the first to Nth CSI-RS pattern types map CSI-RSs of the first to Nth antenna ports to the first to Nth OFDM symbols of the PRB in an alternate manner.

Abstract:
A method for wireless communication by a terminal, a method for wireless communication by a base station, the terminal, and the base station, are provided. The method for wireless communication by the terminal includes receiving first information comprising a muting subframe interval, a subframe offset, and a muting position of a resource element in a resource block, checking presence of a data in a subframe, determining the resource element to be muted in the subframe based on the muting subframe interval, the subframe offset, and the muting position, if the data is present, and receiving the data on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the result of the determining step.
