Abstract

A method for receiving a downlink signal by a user equipment (UE) from an eNB in a wireless communication system is disclosed. In detail, the method comprises the steps of receiving a downlink control channel from the eNB; and receiving, from the eNB, a downlink data channel and a front loaded reference signal for demodulation of the downlink data channel by using control information included in the downlink control channel, wherein resource elements of symbols to which a front loaded reference signal is received are identified by two multiplexing groups or three multiplexing groups, and the downlink control channel includes information on a multiplexing group, to which the front loaded reference signal is allocated, among the multiplexing groups, and information on the number of multiplexing groups, to which data are not allocated, among the multiplexing groups.

Claims (19)

1. A method for receiving a downlink signal by a user equipment (UE) from an eNB in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving a downlink control channel from the eNB; and

receiving, from the eNB, a downlink data channel and a front loaded reference signal for demodulation of the downlink data channel by using control information included in the downlink control channel,

wherein resource elements of symbols to which a front loaded reference signal is received are divided into two multiplexing groups or three multiplexing groups,

wherein the downlink control channel includes information on a number of multiplexing groups, to which data are not allocated, among the multiplexing groups, and

wherein, if the number of the multiplexing groups is three and the number of the multiplexing groups to which the data are not allocated is one, the multiplexing groups to which the data are not allocated is a multiplexing group having a lowest index.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of receiving the downlink data channel and the front loaded reference signal includes receiving the downlink data channel under the assumption that the front loaded reference signal is power boosted as much as a specific multiple, and the specific multiple is a difference value between the number of the multiplexing groups and the number of the multiplexing groups to which the data are not allocated.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the downlink control channel further includes information on a number of symbols for the front loaded reference signal.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, if a number of symbols for the front loaded reference signal is two or more, the information on the number of multiplexing groups to which data are not allocated are commonly applied to the two or more symbols.

5. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a wireless communication module; and

a processor connected with the wireless communication module, receiving a downlink signal from an eNB,

wherein the processor receives, from the eNB, a downlink data channel and a front loaded reference signal for demodulation of the downlink data channel by using control information included in a downlink control channel,

wherein resource elements of symbols to which a front loaded reference signal is received are divided into two multiplexing groups or three multiplexing groups,

wherein the downlink control channel includes information on a number of multiplexing groups, to which data are not allocated, among the multiplexing groups, and

wherein, if the number of the multiplexing groups is three and the number of multiplexing groups to which the data are not allocated is one, the multiplexing group to which the data are not allocated is a multiplexing group having a lowest index.

6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the processor receives the downlink data channel under the assumption that the front loaded reference signal is power boosted as much as a specific multiple, and the specific multiple is a difference value between the number of the multiplexing groups and the number of the multiplexing groups to which the data are not allocated.

7. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the downlink control channel further includes information on a number of symbols for the front loaded reference signal.

8. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein, if a number of symbols for the front loaded reference signal is two or more, the information on the number of multiplexing groups to which data are not allocated are commonly applied to the two or more symbols.
