Abstract

Provided is a method for transmitting and receiving downlink pre-emption indication information using a bitmap in a next-generation/5G radio access network. The method may include: receiving monitoring configuration information for downlink pre-emption indication information from a base station; monitoring downlink pre-emption indication information based on the monitoring configuration information; and receiving the downlink pre-emption indication information from the base station, wherein the downlink pre-emption indication information includes a bitmap indicating information on at least one of time-section resources and frequency-section resources in which pre-emption has occurred, among reference downlink resources.

Claims (29)

1. A method for receiving downlink pre-emption indication information by a user equipment, the method comprising:

receiving monitoring configuration information for downlink pre-emption indication information from a base station;

monitoring downlink pre-emption indication information based on the monitoring configuration information; and

receiving the downlink pre-emption indication information from the base station,

wherein the downlink pre-emption indication information comprises a bitmap indicating information on at least one of time-section resources and frequency-section resources in which pre-emption has occurred, among reference downlink resources,

wherein respective bits of the bitmap are mapped with different resources to distinguish between resources and to indicate one of M different time-section resources and indicates one of N different frequency-section resources where M and N are a natural number equal to or greater than 1,

wherein the bitmap comprises 14 bits, and

wherein M and N have values such that M=14 and N=1 or M=7 and N=2.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink pre-emption indication information is indicated through group-common downlink control indication (DCI).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information for setting a unit of time-section resources and a unit of frequency-section resources is received from the base station through higher layer signaling.

4. A method for transmitting downlink pre-emption indication information by a base station, the method comprising:

configuring monitoring configuration information for downlink pre-emption indication information;

transmitting the monitoring configuration information to a user equipment; and

transmitting the downlink pre-emption indication information to the user equipment when downlink pre-emption occurs,

wherein the downlink pre-emption indication information comprises a bitmap indicating information on at least one of time-section resources a frequency-section resources in which pre-emption has occurred, among reference downlink resources,

wherein respective bits of the bitmap are mapped with different resources to distinguish between resources and to indicate one of M different time-section resources and indicate one of N different frequency-section resources, where M and N are a natural number equal to or greater than 1,

wherein the bitmap comprises 14 bits, and

wherein M and N have values such that M=14 and N=1 or M=7 and N=2.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the downlink pre-emption indication information is transmitted to the user equipment through group-common downlink control indication (DCI).

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the information for setting a unit of time-section resources and a unit of frequency-section resources is transmitted to the user equipment through higher layer signaling.

7. A user equipment for receiving downlink pre-emption indication information, the user equipment comprising:

a receiver configured to receive monitoring configuration information for downlink pre-emption indication information from a base station and configured to receive the downlink pre-emption indication information from the base station; and

a controller configured to monitor the downlink pre-emption indication information based on the monitoring configuration information,

wherein the downlink pre-emption indication information comprises a bitmap indicating information on at least one of time-section resources and frequency-section resources in which pre-emption has occurred, among reference downlink resources,

wherein respective bits of the bitmap are mapped with different resources to distinguish between resources and to indicate one of M different time-section resources and indicate one of N different frequency-section resources, where M and N are a natural number equal to or greater than 1,

wherein the bitmap comprises 14 bits, and

wherein M and N have values such that M=14 and N=1 or M=7 and N=2.

8. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein the downlink pre-emption indication information is indicated through group-common downlink control indication (DCI).

9. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein the information for setting a unit of time-section resources and a unit of frequency-section resources is received from the base station through higher layer signaling.
