Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, particularly, to a method and a device therefor, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, from a base station, resource allocation information indicating a frequency resource for a transmission of an uplink signal; and transmitting, to the base station, the uplink signal using the frequency resource indicated by the resource allocation information, wherein the frequency resource comprises multiple continuous tones when the resource allocation information relates to an Lcell, and the frequency resource comprises multiple tones separated by the same interval when the resource allocation information relates to a Ucell.

Claims (35)

1. A method of transmitting an uplink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

aggregating a cell on a licensed band (LCell) and a cell on an unlicensed band (UCell), for communication with a base station (BS);

receiving resource allocation information indicating a frequency resource from the BS, for transmission of the uplink signal; and

transmitting the uplink signal via one of the LCell and the UCell to the BS using the frequency resource indicated by the resource allocation information,

wherein, if the resource allocation information is about the LCell, the frequency resource indicated by the resource allocation information includes a plurality of contiguous tones within the LCell, and

wherein if the resource allocation information is about the UCell, the frequency resource indicated by the resource allocation information includes a plurality of tones separated from each other by an equal spacing within the UCell.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein, if the resource allocation information is about the UCell, the resource allocation information indicates a start tone index and the number of tone groups and each of the tone groups includes tones separated from each other by an equal spacing.

3. The method according to claim 2 ,

wherein, if the start tone index is k and the number of the tone groups is L, the frequency resource includes the L tone groups each having the start tone index of [k+i×(2 N /L)] (where i=0, . . . , L−1 and 2 N is the total number of tone groups) and each of the tone groups includes a plurality of tones separated from each other by 2 N tones.

4. The method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the uplink signal is sequentially mapped in units of tone groups starting from a tone group having a low index.

5. The method according to claim 2 ,

wherein a spacing between tones in a tone group is given as a maximum value from among values of 2 X which are less than the number of tones corresponding to (100−Z) % of a system bandwidth, Z indicating a ratio of a bandwidth that a transmission signal should occupy on the UCell.

6. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the resource allocation information is received through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on the LCell.

7. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting an uplink signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

aggregate a cell on a licensed band (LCell) and a cell on an unlicensed band (UCell), for communication with a base station (BS),

receive resource allocation information indicating a frequency resource from the BS, for transmission of the uplink signal, and

transmit the uplink signal via one of the LCell and the UCell to the BS using the frequency resource indicated by the resource allocation information, and

wherein, if the resource allocation information is about the LCell, the frequency resource indicated by the resource allocation information includes a plurality of contiguous tones within the LCell, and

wherein if the resource allocation information is about the UCell, the frequency resource indicated by the resource allocation information includes a plurality of tones separated from each other by an equal spacing within the UCell.

8. The UE according to claim 7 ,

wherein, if the resource allocation information is about the UCell, the resource allocation information indicates a start tone index and the number of tone groups and each of the tone groups includes tones separated from each other by an equal spacing.

9. The UE according to claim 8 ,

wherein, if the start tone index is k and the number of the tone groups is L, the frequency resource includes the L tone groups each having the start tone index of [k+i×(2 N /L)] (where i=0, . . . , L−1 and 2 N is the total number of tone groups) and each of the tone groups includes a plurality of tones separated from each other by 2 N tones.

10. The UE according to claim 8 ,

wherein the uplink signal is sequentially mapped in units of tone groups starting from a tone group having a low index.

11. The UE according to claim 8 ,

wherein a spacing between tones in a tone group is given as a maximum value from among values of 2 X which are less than the number of tones corresponding to (100−Z) % of a system bandwidth, Z indicating a ratio of a bandwidth that a transmission signal should occupy on the UCell.

12. The UE according to claim 7 ,

wherein the resource allocation information is received through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on the LCell.
