Abstract

A method and an apparatus for controlling in-device coexistence interference (IDC) in a wireless communication system are provided. The present invention comprises transmitting IDC indication information including an unusable frequency band that is a frequency band in which performing communication is difficult because of IDC interference to a Base Station (BS), receiving Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration including IDC Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration reconfiguring DRX relating the unusable frequency band based on the IDC indication information from the BS and performing autonomously denial of Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) transmission in the unusable frequency band by reconfiguring DRX based on the IDC DRX configuration.

Claims (28)

1. A method for controlling interference in a Mobile Station (MS), comprising:

receiving, from a Base Station (BS), Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration including In-device coexistence (IDC) Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration reconfiguring DRX relating to an unusable frequency band based on IDC indication information; and

reconfiguring DRX based on the IDC DRX configuration to perform autonomous denial of Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) transmission in the unusable frequency band,

wherein the IDC DRX configuration includes information configuring a DRX retransmission timer and information configuring a DRX short cycle to a predetermined cycle for avoiding the IDC interference, and

wherein the RRC connection reconfiguration further includes information for configuring a time-division multiplexing (TDM) pattern which is not related to IDC interference.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IDC indication information is transmitted to the BS, the IDC indication information including the unusable frequency band that is a frequency band in which performing communication is interfered by IDC interference.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the autonomous denial of ISM transmission in the unusable frequency band autonomously denies a transmission of a scheduling request.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the autonomous denial of ISM transmission in the unusable frequency band autonomously denies the ISM transmission with respect to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) region in a random access operation and autonomously denies the ISM transmission with respect to a non-PDCCH region in a case where downlink resource allocation exists in the non-PDCCH region that is indicated by the PDCCH region.

5. A Mobile Station (MS) for controlling interference in the MS, comprising:

a receiver to receive, from a Base Station (BS), Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration including In-device coexistence (IDC) Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration reconfiguring DRX relating to an unusable frequency band based on IDC indication information; and

an IDC resolution processor to reconfigure DRX based on the IDC DRX configuration to autonomously deny Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) transmission in the unusable frequency band,

wherein the IDC DRX configuration includes information configuring a DRX retransmission timer and information configuring a DRX short cycle to a predetermined cycle for avoiding the IDC interference, and

wherein the RRC connection reconfiguration further includes information for configuring a time-division multiplexing (TDM) pattern which is not related to IDC interference.

6. The MS of claim 5 , wherein the IDC indication information is transmitted to the BS, the IDC indication information including the unusable frequency band that is a frequency band in which performing communication is interfered by IDC interference.

7. The MS of claim 5 , wherein the IDC resolution processor autonomously denies a transmission of a scheduling request.

8. The MS of claim 5 , wherein the IDC resolution processor autonomously denies the ISM transmission with respect to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) region in a random access operation and autonomously denies the ISM transmission with respect to a non-PDCCH region in a case where downlink resource allocation exists in the non-PDCCH region that is indicated by the PDCCH region.

9. A method for controlling interference in a Base Station (BS), comprising:

receiving, from a Mobile Station (MS), IDC indication information including an unusable frequency band that is a frequency band in which performing communication is interfered by IDC interference;

determining IDC Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration reconfiguring DRX relating to the unusable frequency band based on the IDC indication information, and selecting IDC resolution operation autonomously denying Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) transmission in the unusable frequency band; and

transmitting, to the UE, Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection reconfiguration including the IDC DRX configuration and the IDC resolution operation;

wherein the IDC DRX configuration includes information configuring a DRX retransmission timer and information configuring a DRX short cycle to a predetermined cycle for avoiding the IDC interference, and

wherein the RRC connection reconfiguration further includes information for configuring a time-division multiplexing (TDM) pattern which is not related to IDC interference.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

analyzing the IDC indication information to determine IDC Discontinuous Reception (DRX) configuration associated with the unusable frequency.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein

the DRX pattern based on the IDC DRX configuration is information reconfiguring the TDM pattern which is not related to IDC interference.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the IDC resolution operation comprises autonomously denying a transmission of a scheduling request.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the IDC resolution operation comprises autonomously denying the ISM transmission with respect to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) region in a random access operation and autonomously denying the ISM transmission with respect to a non-PDCCH region in a case where downlink resource allocation exists in the non-PDCCH region that is indicated by the PDCCH region.
