Abstract

A method for a user equipment transmitting/receiving signals to and from a base station in a wireless communication system is disclosed in the present invention, which is specifically characterized by comprising the following steps: receiving form the base station information related to a plurality of subframe sets; receiving from the base station information related to transmission modes which correspond to each of the plurality of subframe sets; and transmitting/receiving the signals to and from the base station based on the transmission mode that corresponds to a specific subframe set in a subframe that belongs to the specific subframe set from the plurality of subframe sets.

Claims (21)

1. A method for transmitting and receiving a signal to and from a base station at a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information indicating a first subframe set and a second subframe set from the base station;

receiving an uplink grant on a specific subframe from the base station; and

transmitting an uplink signal based on the uplink grant to the base station,

wherein each of the first subframe set and the second subframe set comprises a plurality of subframes,

wherein, when the specific subframe does not belong to any one of the first and second subframe sets, a transmission mode of the uplink signal is configured by a radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling,

wherein, when the specific subframe belongs to the first subframe set, the uplink signal is transmitted using a multi-antennas transmission mode with ignoring the configured transmission mode, and

wherein, when the specific subframe belongs to the second subframe set, the uplink signal is transmitted using a single antenna transmission mode with ignoring the configured transmission mode.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first subframe set and the second subframe set has a different level of interference that can be caused by a neighbor base station.

3. A user equipment in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal to and from a base station; and

a processor configured to:

process the signal,

control the transceiver to receive information indicating a first subframe set and a second subframe set from the base station,

control the transceiver to receive an uplink grant on a specific subframe from the base station, and

control the transceiver to transmit an uplink signal based on the uplink grant to the base station,

wherein each of the first subframe set and the second subframe set comprises a plurality of subframes,

wherein, when the specific subframe does not belong to any one of the first and second subframe sets, a transmission mode of the uplink signal is configured by a radio resource control (RRC) layer signaling,

wherein, when the specific subframe belongs to the first subframe set, the processor controls the wireless communication module to transmit the uplink signal using a multi-antennas transmission mode with ignoring the configured transmission mode, and

wherein, when the specific subframe belongs to the second subframe set, the processor controls the wireless communication module to transmit the uplink signal using a single antenna transmission mode with ignoring the configured transmission mode.

4. The user equipment according to claim 3 , wherein each of the first subframe set and the second subframe set has a different level of interference that can be caused by a neighbor base station.
