Abstract

According to an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives downlink control information (DCI) through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), determines a downlink resource allocated to the UE based on a frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) field included in the DCI, and receives a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in the downlink resource, and in this case, based on that a first bandwidth of the UE supported for the PDCCH is different from a second bandwidth of the UE supported for the PDSCH, the UE determines the downlink resource allocated through the FDRA field based on the second bandwidth other than the first bandwidth.

Claims (35)

1 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, through a downlink control channel, downlink control information including a first field for frequency domain resource allocation and a second field for time domain resource allocation;

determining a downlink resource allocated to the UE based on the first field and the second field; and

receiving a first downlink data channel in the downlink resource,

wherein the downlink control information schedules a plurality of downlink data channels including the first downlink data channel,

wherein the plurality of downlink data channels are transmitted in a plurality of sub-bandwidths which are frequency divisionally multiplexed in a bandwidth for the downlink control channel, and

wherein a first sub-bandwidth for the first downlink data channel is determined among the plurality of sub-bandwidths based on a UE identification configured in the UE.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a size of the bandwidth of the downlink control channel is 20 MHZ, and a size of each sub-bandwidth is 5 MHz.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE determines the frequency domain resource allocation of the first field based on a location of the first sub-bandwidth.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a total number of resource block groups related to the first downlink data channel and physical resource blocks are determined based on the first sub-bandwidth.

5 . A non-transitory processor-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for performing the method of claim 1 .

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the same time domain resource allocation is applied for the plurality of the downlink data channels.

7 . A device comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions,

wherein the operations of the processor comprise:

receiving, through a downlink control channel, downlink control information including a first field for frequency domain resource allocation and a second field for time domain resource allocation;

determining a downlink resource allocated to the device based on the first field and the second field; and

receiving a first downlink data channel in the downlink resource; and

wherein the downlink control information schedules a plurality of downlink data channels including the first downlink data channel,

wherein the plurality of downlink data channels are transmitted in a plurality of sub-bandwidths which are frequency divisionally multiplexed in a bandwidth for the downlink control channel, and

wherein a first sub-bandwidth for the first downlink data channel is determined among the plurality of sub-bandwidths based on a UE identification configured in the device.

8 . The device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal under control of the processor,

wherein the device is a user equipment (UE).

9 . The device of claim 7 , wherein the device is an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a digital signal processing device.

10 . A base station (BS) comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions,

wherein the operations of the processor comprise:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), through a downlink control channel, downlink control information including a first field for frequency domain resource allocation and a second field for time domain resource allocation; and

transmitting a first downlink data channel in a downlink resource allocated to the UE based on the first field and the second field,

wherein the downlink control information schedules a plurality of downlink data channels including the first downlink data channel,

wherein the plurality of downlink data channels are transmitted in a plurality of sub-bandwidths which are frequency divisionally multiplexed in a bandwidth for the downlink control channel, and

wherein a first sub-bandwidth for the first downlink data channel is determined among the plurality of sub-bandwidths based on a UE identification configured in the UE.
