Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and specifically, to a method and a device for the method which comprises the steps of: aggregating a LCell and a UCell in order to communicate with a base station; and transmitting a slotted uplink physical channel via only one slot among a plurality of slots of a subframe #m of the UCell, wherein the transmission of the slotted uplink physical channel includes performing a first CCA procedure X-time prior to a reference time point of the first slot of the subframe #m, and if the first CCA procedure fails, performing a second CCA procedure Y-time (Y>X) prior to a reference time point of the second slot of the subframe #m.

Claims (19)

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

aggregating a licensed band cell (LCell) and an unlicensed band cell (UCell) in order to communicate with a base station; and

transmitting a slotted uplink physical channel in only one of a plurality of slots of a subframe #m of the UCell,

wherein transmission of the slotted uplink physical channel includes performing a first clear channel assessment (CCA) procedure before a time X from a reference time of a first slot of the subframe #m and if the first CCA procedure fails, performing a second CCA procedure before a time Y (Y>X) from a reference time point of a second slot of the subframe #m.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the slotted uplink physical channel is transmitted in the first slot of the subframe #m without transmission of a reservation signal when the first CCA procedure has been successfully performed.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the slotted uplink physical channel is transmitted in the second slot of the subframe #m after transmission of the reservation signal when the second CCA procedure has been successfully performed.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a third CCA procedure is further performed before the time X from the reference time of the second slot of the subframe #m when the second CCA procedure fails.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the uplink physical channel is transmitted over a plurality of slots of a subframe #n of the LCell.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the uplink physical channel includes a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

7. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit an uplink signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to aggregate a licensed band cell (LCell) and an unlicensed band cell (UCell) in order to communicate with a base station and to transmit a slotted uplink physical channel in only one of a plurality of slots of a subframe #m of the UCell, and

wherein transmission of the slotted uplink physical channel includes performing a first CCA procedure before a time X from a reference time of a first slot of the subframe #m and if the first CCA procedure fails, performing a second CCA procedure before a time Y (Y>X) from a reference time point of a second slot of the subframe #m.

8. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the slotted uplink physical channel is transmitted in the first slot of the subframe #m without transmission of a reservation signal when the first CCA procedure has been successfully performed.

9. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the slotted uplink physical channel is transmitted in the second slot of the subframe #m after transmission of the reservation signal when the second CCA procedure has been successfully performed.

10. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein a third CCA procedure is further performed before the time X from the reference time of the second slot of the subframe #m when the second CCA procedure fails.

11. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the uplink physical channel is transmitted over a plurality of slots of a subframe #n of the LCell.

12. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the uplink physical channel includes a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
