Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting and receiving signals to/from a plurality of coordinated multiple-point transmission (CoMP) cells of a terminal in a wireless communication system supporting the usage change of a wireless resource. Specifically, the method comprises the steps of receiving, at a first subframe, uplink scheduling information indicating a second subframe from a plurality of CoMP cells; and if it is determined that the uplink scheduling information is valid, transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) at the second subframe.

Claims (15)

1. A method for transmitting and receiving signals to and from a plurality of coordinated multiple-point transmission (CoMP) cells by a user equipment in a wireless communication system supporting a usage change of a radio resource, the method comprising:

receiving, from the plurality of CoMP cells, uplink scheduling information indicating a second subframe at a first subframe; and

if it is determined that the uplink scheduling information is valid, transmitting an uplink data channel (physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)) at the second subframe,

wherein the uplink scheduling information is determined to be valid when the second subframe is configured to be used for uplink transmission for all of the plurality of CoMP cells.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first subframe and the second subframe are configured in accordance with an uplink-downlink timeline defined to change a usage of at least a part of radio resources corresponding to a reference HARQ timeline.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink scheduling information is determined to be valid if the first subframe is a subframe indicated to be valid by a previously defined signal.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving configuration for each of a downlink transmission point and an uplink reception point through a previously defined signal.

5. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting and receiving signals to and from a plurality of coordinated multiple-point transmission (CoMP) cells in a wireless communication system supporting a usage change of a radio resource, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency unit; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, via the radio frequency unit from the plurality of CoMP cells, uplink scheduling information indicating a second subframe at a first subframe; and

if it is determined that the uplink scheduling information is valid, transmit an uplink data channel (physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)) at the second subframe,

wherein the uplink scheduling information is determined to be valid when the second subframe is configured to be used for uplink transmission for all of the plurality of CoMP cells.
