Abstract

A user equipment for performing multi-RAT concurrent transmission according to an embodiment of the present invention receives, from a base station, information on subframe sets and power management parameters to be applied to each of the subframe sets, sets the maximum transmission power of each of a first RAT signal and a second RAT signal using the power management parameters, and transmits at least one of the first RAT signal and the second RAT signal based on the set maximum transmission power. The subframe sets may include a first subframe set in which only transmission of the first RAT signal is allowed and a second subframe set in which multi-RAT concurrent transmission is allowed, and the power management parameters may include a parameter for limiting the maximum transmission power of the second RAT signal to be transmitted concurrently with the first RAT signal in the second subframe set.

Claims (35)

1. A method of performing multi-radio access technology (RAT) simultaneous transmission by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a first RAT base station, information on a plurality of subframe sets and a plurality of power management parameters to be applied to each of the plurality of subframe sets;

configuring maximum transmit power of a first RAT signal and maximum transmit power of a second RAT signal using the plurality of power management parameters; and

transmitting at least one of the first RAT signal or the second RAT signal based on the configured maximum transmit power,

wherein the plurality of subframe sets contain a first subframe set in which transmission of the first RAT signal is allowed only and a second subframe set in which multi-RAT simultaneous transmission is allowed,

wherein the plurality of power management parameters contain a parameter for limiting the maximum transmit power of the second RAT signal to be simultaneously transmitted with the first RAT signal in the second subframe set, and

wherein when transmit power required by a specific signal among the first RAT signal and the second RAT signal to be transmitted in the second subframe set, exceeds maximum transmit power set to the specific signal, the UE drops a remaining signal except the specific signal.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of power management parameters contain a first power management-maximum power reduction (P-MPR) value for the first subframe set and a second P-MPR value for the second subframe set, and

wherein the UE limits the maximum transmit power of the second RAT signal to be simultaneously transmitted with the first RAT signal in the second subframe set based on the second P-MPR value.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein configuring the maximum transmit power comprises:

determining a third P-MPR value for the second subframe set;

selecting a smaller one from among the second P-MPR value and the third P-MPR value; and

applying the selected P-MPR value to the second subframe set.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the UE determines a lower bound of the maximum transmit power of the first RAT signal by selecting the smaller one from among the second P-MPR value and the third P-MPR value.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first P-MPR value for the first subframe set in which transmission of the second RAT signal is not allowed is configured by 0 dB.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

reporting, to the first RAT base station, a list of heterogeneous RATs supported by the UE in addition to the first RAT.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first RAT corresponds to a long term evolution (LTE)-based cellular network, and

wherein the second RAT corresponds to a dedicated short range communication (DSRC)/wireless access for vehicular environment (WAVE)-based vehicle to everything (V2X) network.

8. A user equipment (UE) performing multi-radio access technology (RAT) simultaneous transmission in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiver configured to receive information on a plurality of subframe sets and a plurality of power management parameters to be applied to each of the plurality of subframe sets from a first RAT base station;

a processor configured to set maximum transmit power of a first RAT signal and maximum transmit power of a second RAT signal using the plurality of power management parameters; and

a transmitter configured to transmit at least one of the first RAT signal or the second RAT signal based on the set maximum transmit power,

wherein the plurality of subframe sets contain a first subframe set in which transmission of the first RAT signal is allowed only and a second subframe set in which multi-RAT simultaneous transmission is allowed,

wherein the plurality of power management parameters contain a parameter for limiting the maximum transmit power of the second RAT signal to be simultaneously transmitted with the first RAT signal in the second subframe set, and

wherein when transmit power required by a specific signal among the first RAT signal and the second RAT signal to be transmitted in the second subframe set, exceeds maximum transmit power set to the specific signal, the processor is configured to drop a remaining signal except the specific signal.

9. The UE of claim 8 ,

wherein the plurality of power management parameters contain a first power management-maximum power reduction (P-MPR) value for the first subframe set and a second P-MPR value for the second subframe set, and

wherein the processor is configured to limit the maximum transmit power of the second RAT signal to be simultaneously transmitted with the first RAT signal in the second subframe set based on the second P-MPR value.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to determine a third P-MPR for the second subframe set, select a smaller one from among the second P-MPR value and the third P-MPR value, and apply the selected P-MPR value to the second subframe set.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to determine a lower bound of the maximum transmit power of the first RAT signal by selecting the smaller one from among the second P-MPR value and the third P-MPR value.

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the first P-MPR value for the first subframe set in which transmission of the second RAT signal is not allowed is configured by 0 dB.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to report, to the first RAT base station, a list of heterogeneous RATs supported by the UE in addition to the first RAT.
