Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting or receiving a downlink signal by considering an antenna port relationship. A method for user equipment receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) signal in the wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: determining from the downlink subframe a resource element (RE) on which the PDSCH is mapped; and receiving the PDSCH signal based on the RE on which the PDSCH is mapped, wherein when the DCI is comprised according to DCI format 1A and the downlink subframe is a multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe, the RE on which the PDSCH is mapped can be determined depending on cell-specific reference signal (CRS) location information, which is included in a PDSCH resource element mapping and Quasi co-location indicator (PQI) parameter set that is established by an upper layer.

Claims (21)

1. A method for receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining a resource element (RE) to which the PDSCH is mapped in a downlink subframe; and

receiving the PDSCH signal based on the RE to which the PDSCH is mapped,

wherein the PDSCH is scheduled by downlink control information (DCI), and

wherein when the DCI is configured according to DCI format 1A, and the downlink subframe is a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe, the RE to which the PDSCH is mapped is determined according to Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS) position information contained in a PDSCH resource element mapping and Quasi co-location Indicator (PQI) parameter set configured by a higher layer.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CRS position information contained in the PQI parameter set comprises at least one of number-of-CRS ports information, CRS frequency shift information and MBSFN subframe configuration information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PQI parameter set is a PQI parameter set having a lowest index.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the DCI is configured according to the DCI format 1A and the downlink subframe is a non-MBSFN subframe, the RE to which the PDSCH is mapped is determined according to a CRS configuration of a serving cell.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the CRS configuration of the serving cell comprises at least one of a number of CRS ports of the serving cell, CRS frequency shift of the serving cell and an MBSFN subframe configuration of the serving cell.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the RE to which the PDSCH is mapped is not used for the CRS.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the DCI is configured according to DCI format 2D, the PQI parameter set is determined according to a state value of a PQI field of the DCI format 2D.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the DCI is received through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or an enhanced PDCCH (EPDCCH).

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PQI parameter set comprises at least one of parameters corresponding to number-of-CRS ports information, CRS frequency shift information, MBSFN subframe configuration information, Zero Power Channel State Information Reference Signal (ZP CSI-RS) configuration information, a PDSCH start symbol value, and Non-Zero Power (NZP) CSI-RS configuration information.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE is set to transmission mode 10 (TM10).

11. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transmit module;

a receive module; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to determine a resource element (RE) to which the PDSCH is mapped in a downlink subframe and to receive the PDSCH signal based on the RE to which the PDSCH is mapped using the receive module,

wherein the PDSCH is scheduled by downlink control information (DCI), and

wherein when the DCI is configured according to DCI format 1A, and the downlink subframe is a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe, the RE to which the PDSCH is mapped is determined according to Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS) position information contained in a PDSCH resource element mapping and Quasi co-location Indicator (PQI) parameter set configured by a higher layer.
