Apparatus and method for controlling coexistence interference within device in wireless communication system
View Patent ↗The present invention provides an apparatus and a method for controlling coexistence interference within a device in a wireless communication system. The method discloses the following steps: performing triggering, in which a transmission, which is generated in a terminal, in a first frequency band of a first network system requests controlling of interference on a reception, which is generated in the terminal, in a second frequency band of a second network system; transmitting to a base station support information including information on a time section that can or cannot be used by the first network system of the second network system, due to the interference; and receiving from the base station reply information for accepting or denying interference control as a reply to the support information.
1. A method for coordinating in device coexistence (IDC) interference by a user equipment, the method comprising:
transmitting, to an eNodeB (eNB), first assistance information for a first coordination of the IDC interference, wherein the first assistance information comprises a first request for the first coordination to be based on a Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) technique;
receiving, from the eNB, a first response to the first assistance information;
if the first response indicates a rejection of the first request, transmitting, to the eNB, second assistance information for a second coordination of the IDC interference, wherein the second assistance information comprises a second request for the second coordination to be based on a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technique; and
receiving, from the eNB, a second response to the second assistance information, wherein the second response comprises information indicating whether the second request is accepted or rejected.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second assistance information comprises a bitmap for indicating an unusable subframe irrespective of uplink and downlink, and wherein a subframe is a usable subframe if a value of the bitmap corresponding to the subframe indicates ‘1’, and the subframe is an unusable subframe if the value of the bitmap corresponding to the subframe indicates ‘0’.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second assistance information is transmitted by being included in a radio resource control (RRC) message.
4. A method for coordinating in device coexistence (IDC) interference by an eNodeB (eNB), the method comprising:
receiving, from a user equipment (UE), first assistance information regarding a first coordination of the IDC interference, wherein the first assistance information comprises a first request for the first coordination to be based on a Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) technique;
transmitting, to the UE, a first response indicating a rejection of the first request;
receiving, from the UE, second assistance information regarding a second coordination of IDC interference, wherein the second assistance information comprises a second request for the second coordination to be based on a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technique; and
transmitting, to the UE, a second response to the second assistance information, wherein the second response comprises information indicating whether the second request is accepted or rejected.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second assistance information comprises a bitmap for indicating an unusable subframe irrespective of uplink and downlink, and
wherein a subframe is a usable subframe if a value of the bitmap corresponding to the subframe indicates ‘1’, and the subframe is an unusable subframe if the value of the bitmap corresponding to the subframe indicates ‘0’.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first and second assistance information is received by being included in a radio resource control (RRC) message.
7. A user equipment (UE) for coordinating in device coexistence (IDC) interference, wherein the UE is configured to:
transmit, to an eNodeB (eNB), first assistance information for a first coordination of the IDC interference, wherein the first assistance information comprises a first request for the first coordination to be based on a Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) technique;
receive, from the eNB, a first response to the first assistance information;
if the first response indicates a rejection of the first request, transmit, to the eNB, second assistance information for a second coordination of the IDC interference, wherein the second assistance information comprises a second request for the second coordination to be based on a Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) technique; and
receive, from the eNB, a second response to the second assistance information, wherein the second response comprises information indicating whether the second request is accepted or rejected.
8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the second assistance information comprises a bitmap for indicating an unusable subframe irrespective of uplink and downlink, and
wherein a subframe is a usable subframe if a value of the bitmap corresponding to the subframe indicates ‘1’, and the subframe is an unusable subframe if the value of the bitmap corresponding to the subframe indicates ‘0’.
9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the first and second assistance information is transmitted by being included in a radio resource control (RRC) message.
