Abstract

A method for configuring a time division duplex (TDD) of a user equipment in a communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving from a base station a first TDD configuration; receiving from the base station a message including information related to a dynamic TDD configuration; receiving a second TDD configuration according to the received information related to the dynamic TDD configuration; receiving from the base station an uplink grant; and determining whether to apply the first TDD configuration or the second TDD configuration based on a method by which the unlink grant is received. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the advantages of configuring a shorter cycle of the TDD to the user equipment supporting the TDD in a wireless communication system, and rapidly configuring the TDD to the user equipment variably according to a communication situation are provided.

Claims (50)

1. A method of a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a first time division duplex (TDD) uplink/downlink (UL/DL) configuration from a base station;

receiving configuration information related to a second TDD UL/DL configuration from the base station;

receiving downlink control information indicating the second TDD configuration from the base station based on the received configuration information;

transmitting, if uplink scheduling information is received in a random access response message, a message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information to the base station based on the first TDD UL/DL configuration; and

transmitting, if uplink scheduling information is received on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information to the base station based on the second TDD UL/DL configuration.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving a first TDD UL/DL configuration comprises:

receiving a system information block message including the first TDD UL/DL configuration from the base station.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving configuration information comprises:

receiving a radio resource control message including the configuration information from the base station.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting a message comprises:

transmitting, if uplink scheduling information is received in a random access response message on subframe n, the message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information to the base station based on the first TDD UL/DL configuration on a subframe n+k,

wherein in the k is an integer greater than or equal to 6.

5. A terminal of a communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a signal; and

a controller configured to:

receive a first time division duplex (TDD) uplink/downlink (UL/DL) configuration from a base station,

receive configuration information related to a second TDD UL/DL configuration from the base station,

receive downlink control information indicating the second TDD UL/DL configuration from the base station based on the received configuration information,

transmit, if uplink scheduling information is received in a random access response message, a message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information to the base station based on the first TDD UL/DL configuration, and

transmit, if uplink scheduling information is received on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information to the base station based on the second TDD UL/DL.

6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive a system information block message including the first TDD UL/DL configuration from the base station.

7. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive a radio resource control message including the configuration information from the base station.

8. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit, if uplink scheduling information is received in a random access response message on subframe n, the message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information to the base station based on the first TDD UL/DL configuration on a subframe n+k,

wherein in the k is an integer greater than or equal to 6.

9. A method of a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a first time division duplex (TDD) uplink/downlink (UL/DL) configuration to a terminal;

transmitting configuration information related to a second TDD UL/DL configuration to the terminal;

transmitting downlink control information indicating the second TDD configuration to the terminal based on the transmitted configuration information;

receiving, if uplink scheduling information is transmitted in a random response message, a message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information from the terminal based on the first TDD UL/DL configuration; and

receiving, if uplink scheduling information is transmitted on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information from the terminal based on the second TDD UL/DL configuration.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the transmitting a first TDD UL/DL configuration comprises:

transmitting a system information block message including the first TDD UL/DL configuration to the terminal.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the transmitting configuration information comprises:

transmitting a radio resource control message including the configuration information to the terminal.

12. The method of claim 9 , receiving a message comprises:

receiving, if uplink scheduling information is transmitted in a random access response message on subframe n, the message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information from the terminal based on the first TDD UL/DL configuration on a subframe n+k,

wherein in the k is an integer greater than or equal to 6.

13. A base station of a communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a signal; and

a controller configured to:

transmit a first time division duplex (TDD) uplink/downlink (UL/DL) configuration to a terminal,

transmit configuration information related to a second TDD UL/DL configuration to the terminal,

transmit downlink control information indicating a second TDD UL/DL configuration to the terminal based on the transmitted configuration information,

receive, if uplink scheduling information is transmitted in a random response message, a message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information from the terminal based on the first TDD UL/DL configuration, and

receive, if uplink scheduling information is transmitted on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information from the terminal based on the second TDD UL/DL configuration.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit a system information block message including the first TDD UL/DL configuration to the terminal.

15. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit a radio resource control message including the configuration information to the terminal.

16. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive, if the uplink scheduling information is transmitted in a random access response message on subframe n, the message corresponding to the uplink scheduling information from the terminal based on the first TDD UL/DL configuration on a subframe n+k,

wherein in the k is an integer greater than or equal to 6.
