Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for a transmission device to transmit data and a reference signal for demodulation for the data, to a reception device. The transmission device of the present invention appropriately configures the reference signal for demodulation of the data being transmitted to the reception device by the transmission device, and transmits the reference signal to the reception device with the data. According to embodiments of the present invention, the demodulation performance for the data transmitted from the transmission device to the reception device is enhanced.

Claims (34)

1. A method for receiving a downlink signal at a receiving device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a Relay-Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) allocated in a first resource block and a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in a second resource block from a transmitting device, wherein demodulation reference signals for demodulating the PDSCH are transmitted over the first resource block and the second resource block; and

demodulating the PDSCH using the demodulation reference signals on the first resource block and the second resource block,

wherein the first and second resource blocks include a prescribed number of same consecutive subcarriers,

wherein the first resource block and the second resource block are interleaved with depth-4, and

wherein a virtual resource block index of the first resource block plus 4 is equal to a virtual resource block index of the second resource block.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the demodulation reference signals are received using a scrambling ID or an antenna port allocated to the receiving device.

3. A method for transmitting a downlink signal at a transmitting device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

allocating demodulation reference signals for demodulating a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) over a first resource block and a second resource block;

interleaving the first resource block and the second resource block with depth-4; and

transmitting a Relay-Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) allocated in the first resource block and the PDSCH in the second resource block to a receiving device,

wherein the first and second resource blocks include a prescribed number of same consecutive subcarriers, and

wherein a virtual resource block index of the first resource block plus 4 is equal to a virtual resource block index of the second resource block.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the demodulation reference signals are transmitted using a scrambling ID or an antenna port allocated to the receiving device.

5. A receiving device for receiving a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, the receiving device comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to receive signals;

a processor configured to:

control the RF unit,

receive a Relay-Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) allocated in a first resource block and a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in a second resource block from a transmitting device, wherein demodulation reference signals for demodulating the PDSCH are transmitted over the first resource block and the second resource block, and

demodulate the PDSCH using the demodulation reference signals on the first resource block and the second resource block,

wherein the first and second resource blocks include a prescribed number of same consecutive subcarriers,

wherein the first resource block and the second resource block are interleaved with depth-4, and wherein a virtual resource block index of the first resource block plus 4 is equal to a virtual resource block index of the second resource block.

6. The receiving device according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to detect the demodulation reference signals using a scrambling ID or an antenna port allocated to the receiving device.

7. A transmitting device for transmitting a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, the transmitting device comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit signals to a receiving device; and

a processor configured to:

control the RF unit,

allocate demodulation reference signals for demodulating a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) over a first resource block and a second resource block,

interleave the first resource block and the second resource block with depth 4, and

transmit a Relay-Physical Downlink Control Channel (R-PDCCH) allocated in the first resource block and the PDSCH in the second resource block to the receiving device,

wherein the first and second resource blocks include a prescribed number of same consecutive subcarriers,

wherein the first resource block and the second resource block are interleaved with depth-4, and

wherein a virtual resource block index of the first resource block plus 4 is equal to a virtual resource block index of the second resource block.

8. The transmitting device according to claim 7 , wherein the demodulation reference signals are transmitted using a scrambling ID or an antenna port allocated to the receiving device.
