Abstract

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method by which a terminal transmits a signal in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving timing advance (TA) information on a self-contained subframe having all of a downlink control region, a downlink data region, a guard period (GP) for transmission/reception switching, and an uplink control region; and transmitting uplink control information by advancing transmission timing corresponding to the uplink control region by the time length indicated by the TA information, wherein, when the time length indicated by the TA information is shorter than a predetermined magnitude, the terminal can first transmit a specific uplink signal, and then transmit the uplink control information in a GP remaining period remaining after completion of the transmission/reception switching.

Claims (28)

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

receiving timing advance (TA) information on a self-contained subframe having all of a downlink control region, a downlink data region, a guard period (GP) for transmission/reception switching, and an uplink control region; and

transmitting uplink control information by advancing transmission timing corresponding to the uplink control region by a time length indicated by the TA information,

wherein when the time length indicated by the TA information is less than a predetermined length, the UE first transmits a specific uplink signal and then transmits the uplink control information at a residual duration of the GP, which remains after completion of the transmission/reception switching, and

wherein the residual duration of the GP is varied depending on the time length indicated by the TA information, and the UE transmits the specific uplink signal if the residual duration of the GP is at least a half symbol duration or more.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, if a base station requests the UE to transmit the specific uplink signal at the residual duration of the GP when the time length indicated by the TA information is the predetermined length or more, the UE receives downlink data by assuming that at least one symbol located at an end of the downlink data region has been punctured or rate matched by the base station.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein, before the GP is started, the UE performs the transmission/reception switching in at least one symbol of the downlink data region, which has been assumed to be punctured or rate matched.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, if the UE is not scheduled to receive downlink data, the UE performs transmission/reception switching in the downlink data region located prior to the GP.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein, if the time length indicated by the TA information is the predetermined length or more and the UE is scheduled to receive downlink data, transmission of the specific uplink signal is omitted.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving index or period information of self-contained subframes allowed to transmit the specific uplink signal on the residual duration of the GP.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the specific uplink signal is an uplink reference signal of which subcarrier spacing is twice greater than that of other signals, or the specific uplink signal is an uplink reference signal transmitted based on transmission comb.

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

a processor;

a receiver configured to receive timing advance (TA) information on a self-contained subframe having all of a downlink control region, a downlink data region, a guard period (GP) for transmission/reception switching, and an uplink control region; and

a transmitter configured to transmit uplink control information by advancing transmission timing corresponding to the uplink control region by a time length indicated by the TA information,

wherein when the time length indicated by the TA information is less than a predetermined length, the processor controls the transmitter to first transmit a specific uplink signal and then transmit the uplink control information at a residual duration of the GP, which remains after completion of the transmission/reception switching, and

wherein the residual duration of the GP is varied depending on the time length indicated by the TA information, and the processor controls the transmitter to transmit the specific uplink signal if the residual duration of the GP is at least a half symbol duration or more.

9. A method for receiving a signal by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), timing advance (TA) information indicating that transmission timing of an uplink control region should be moved forward, with respect to a self-contained subframe having all of a downlink control region, a downlink data region, a guard period (GP) for transmission/reception switching, and the uplink control region;

receiving a specific uplink signal at a residual duration of the GP, which remains after completion of the transmission/reception switching when a time length indicated by the TA information is less than a predetermined length; and

receiving uplink control information in the uplink control region after receiving the specific uplink signal,

wherein the residual duration of the GP is varied depending on the time length indicated by the TA information, and the base station receives the specific uplink signal if the residual duration of the GP is at least a half symbol duration or more.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein, if the time length indicated by the TA information is the predetermined length or more, the base station performs puncturing or rate matching for at least one symbol located at an end of the downlink data region and transmits downlink data.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein, if the time length indicated by the TA information is the predetermined length or more and the UE is scheduled to receive downlink data, transmission of the specific uplink signal is omitted.

12. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, index or period information of self-contained subframes allowed to transmit the specific uplink signal on the residual duration of the GP.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the specific uplink signal is an uplink reference signal of which subcarrier spacing is twice greater than that of other signals, or the specific uplink signal is an uplink reference signal transmitted based on transmission comb.
