Method, device, and system for signal transmission in unlicensed band
Disclosed relates to a method, device, and system for performing downlink transmission. Specifically, the disclosed relates to a method including when the downlink signal includes a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a channel in the specific cell is sensed to be idle for a first predefined interval, wherein the processor performs backoff after the second predefined time in order to perform the downlink transmission, and when the downlink transmission includes a Discovery Reference Signal (DRS) and the channel in the specific cell is sensed to be idle for a second predefined interval, performing the downlink transmission immediately after the second predefined interval, and a device and system therefor.
1. A method for performing downlink transmission in a specific cell by a base station in a cellular wireless communication system, the method comprising:
when the downlink transmission includes a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a channel in which the downlink transmission is performed is sensed to be idle for a first predefined interval, performing backoff procedure after the first predefined interval to perform the downlink transmission; and
when the downlink transmission includes a Discovery Reference Signal (DRS) and does not include the PDSCH, and the channel in which the downlink transmission is performed is sensed to be idle for a second predefined interval, performing the downlink transmission immediately after the second predefined interval.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DRS is transmitted in any subframe within a periodically-configured Discovery Measurement Timing Configuration (DMTC).
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DRS includes at least one of Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS), Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), and Channel State Information (CSI)-RS.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a last Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of a subframe including the DRS is empty.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the channel in which the downlink transmission is performed is sensed after a previous downlink transmission fails.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the previous downlink transmission fails because the channel in which the downlink transmission is performed is busy.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the backoff procedure comprises generating a random number N (N≥0) in a contention window size and waiting for N slots when the channel in which the downlink transmission is performed is idle.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific cell is a cell using unlicensed spectrum, and the cellular communication system is a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) communication system.
9. A base station performing a downlink transmission in a specific cell in a cellular wireless communication system, the base station comprising:
a wireless communication module; and
a processor,
when the downlink transmission includes a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and a channel in which the downlink transmission is performed is sensed to be idle for a first predefined interval, wherein the processor is configured to perform backoff procedure after the first predefined time to perform the downlink transmission, and
when the downlink transmission includes a Discovery Reference Signal (DRS) and does not include the PDSCH, and the channel in which the downlink transmission is performed is sensed to be idle for a second predefined interval, wherein the processor is configured to perform the downlink transmission immediately after the second predefined interval.
10. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the DRS is transmitted in any subframe within a periodically-configured Discovery Measurement Timing Configuration (DMTC).
11. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the DRS includes at least one of Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS), Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), and Channel State Information (CSI)-RS.
12. The base station of claim 9 , wherein a last Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of a subframe including the DRS is empty.
13. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the channel in which the downlink transmission is performed is sensed after a previous downlink transmission fails.
14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the previous downlink transmission fails because the channel in which the downlink transmission is performed is busy.
15. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the backoff procedure comprises generating a random number N (N≥0) in a contention window size and waiting for N slots when the channel in which the downlink transmission is performed is idle.
16. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the specific cell is a cell using unlicensed spectrum, and the cellular wireless communication system is a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) communication system.
