Abstract

Provided are a method and a device for reducing a transmission resource of a control channel in a short TTI in a wireless communication system. Specifically, a plurality of first downlink channels which are received during an sTTI and are included in a subframe corresponding to one TTI, and a second downlink channel received during a TTI are received. Further, information on a resource block used for the plurality of first downlink channels is obtained by using a resource block indicator transmitted to a downlink control channel of a control region comprising the first symbol of a subframe. The plurality of first downlink channels are demodulated by using the information, and the second downlink channel is demodulated by using the downlink control channel.

Claims (34)

1. A method for performing communication by a first device among a plurality of devices in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message including first information, second information and third information,

wherein the first information is related to a number of first resource blocks (RBs) allocated during short transmission time intervals (sTTIs),

wherein the second information is related to a format of a plurality of first downlink channels,

wherein the third information is related to a resource mapping method in the sTTIs, and

wherein the sTTIs are shorter than a TTI which is related to a subframe;

receiving, during the TTI, fourth information on an indicator for resource allocation bits in the plurality of the first downlink channels through a common control channel for the plurality of the devices,

wherein the resource allocation bits are dynamically determined based on the first to fourth information, wherein a number of the resource allocation bits is related to a number of second devices that can be allocated in the first RBs,

wherein the first device is included in the second devices;

acquiring allocation information on second RBs for the first device among the first RBs based on the resource allocation bits;

receiving, during the sTTIs, the resource allocation bits through the plurality of the first downlink channels for scheduling uplink data and downlink data; and

transmitting the uplink data in the second RBs during the sTTIs, or receiving the downlink data in the second RBs during the sTTIs.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the common control channel includes a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), wherein each of the plurality of first downlink channels includes a Short PDCCH (sPDCCH).

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the fourth information is included in a Downlink Control Information (DCI) field included in the PDCCH.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein a DCI field of the PDCCH includes information on the first RBs.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the sPDCCH includes Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) or Transmitter Power Control (TPC) information.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sPDCCH received at a predetermined time point includes only information on a change amount of the MCS or TPC information.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first downlink channels is received using the same number of symbols.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the symbols includes an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol or a Single-Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbol.

9. A first device for performing communication by a first device among a plurality of devices in a wireless communication system, the first device comprising:

a transmitter and receiver; and

a processor, operatively coupled to the transmitter and receiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

control the receiver to receive a radio resource control (RRC) message including first information, second information and third information,

wherein the first information is related to a number of first resource blocks (RBs) allocated during short transmission time intervals (sTTIs),

wherein the second information is related to a format of a plurality of first downlink channels,

wherein the third information is related to a resource mapping method in the sTTIs, and

wherein the sTTIs are shorter than a TTI which is related to a subframe;

control the receiver to receive, during the TTI, fourth information on an indicator for resource allocation bits in the plurality of the first downlink channels through a common control channel for the plurality of the devices,

wherein the resource allocation bits are dynamically determined based on the first to fourth information,

wherein a number of the resource allocation bits is related to a number of second devices that can be allocated in the first RBs,

wherein the first device is included in the second devices;

acquire allocation information on second RBs for the first device among the first RBs based on the resource allocation bits;

control the receiver to receive, during the sTTIs, the resource allocation bits through the plurality of the first downlink channels for scheduling uplink data and downlink data; and

control the transmitter to transmit the uplink data in the second RBs during the sTTIs, or control the receiver to receive the downlink data in the second RBs during the sTTIs.
