Abstract

Provided is a method for designing downlink control channel for satisfying requirement of the different usage scenarios from each other in a next-generation/5G radio access network which has been discussed in the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP). In particular, a method of a base station may be provided for transmitting/receiving data in a next-generation radio access network. The method may include configuring a time domain scheduling unit made up of at least one OFDM symbol for each user equipment, allocating a downlink data channel transmission resource with the time domain scheduling unit for a first user equipment, and puncturing a part of the downlink data channel transmission resource for the first user equipment and allocating the punctured resource to the downlink data channel transmission resource for a second user equipment.

Claims (24)

1. A method of transmitting/receiving data by a base station in a radio access network, the method comprising:

configuring a time domain scheduling unit made up of at least one OFDM symbol for each user equipment;

allocating a downlink data channel transmission resource within the time domain scheduling unit to a first user equipment;

without using a predetermined part of the downlink data channel transmission resource allocated to the first user equipment, allocating the predetermined part of the downlink data channel transmission resource to a second user equipment; and

transmitting, to the first user equipment, pre-emption indication information that indicates the predetermined part of the downlink data channel transmission resource, which is allocated to the second user equipment, based on predefined timing information between the transmitted pre-emption indication information and the predetermined part of the downlink data channel transmission resource,

wherein k, which is the number of OFDM symbols constituting the predetermined part of the downlink data channel transmission resource for transmission, is defined using a function of a subcarrier spacing for the first user equipment, and wherein k is a natural number greater than or equal to 1.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the base station transmits the pre-emption indication information to the first user equipment through dynamic signaling.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprises:

transmitting the pre-emption indication information to the first user equipment within the time domain scheduling unit including the predetermined part of the downlink data channel transmission resource which is allocated to the second user equipment.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the base station transmits the pre-emption indication information to the first user equipment for allocating the predetermined part of resource within the time domain scheduling unit to the second user equipment.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second user equipment has a time domain scheduling unit that is shorter than that of the first user equipment.

6. A method of transmitting/receiving data by a first user equipment in a radio access network, the method comprising:

transmitting/receiving the data from a base station through a resource with a time domain scheduling unit, which is allocated for data transmission to the first user equipment;

receiving pre-emption indication information from the base station, wherein the pre-emption indication information indicates a predetermined part of the resource, which was initially allocated for data transmission to the first user equipment, but not used for data transmission to the first user equipment, and re-allocated to a second user equipment based on predefined timing information between the transmitted pre-emption indication information and the predetermined part of the downlink data channel transmission resource; and

stopping transmitting/receiving the data according to the pre-emption indication information,

wherein k, which is the number of OFDM symbols constituting the predetermined part of the resource, is defined using a function of a subcarrier spacing, and wherein k is a natural number greater than or equal to 1.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first user equipment receives the pre-emption indication information through dynamic signaling.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the predetermined part of the resource according to the pre-emption indication information is allocated for data transmission/reception of second user equipment which has different time domain scheduling unit from the first user equipment.

9. A first user equipment transmitting/receiving data in a radio access network, the first user equipment comprising:

a receiver configured to receive the data from a base station through a resource with a time domain scheduling unit, which is allocated for data transmission to the first user equipment and receive pre-emption indication information from the base station, wherein the pre-emption indication information indicates a predetermined part of the resource, which was initially allocated for data transmission to the first user equipment, but not used for data transmission to the first user equipment, and re-allocated for data transmission to a second user equipment, based on predefined timing information between the transmitted pre-emption indication information and the predetermined part of the downlink data channel transmission resource; and

a controller configured to stop transmitting/receiving the data according to the pre-emption indication information,

wherein k, which is the number of OFDM symbols constituting the predetermined part of the resource, is defined using a function of a subcarrier spacing, and wherein k is a natural number greater than or equal to 1.

10. The first user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the first user equipment receives the pre-emption indication information through dynamic signaling.

11. The first user equipment according to 9 , wherein the predetermined part of the resource according to the pre-emption indication information is allocated for data transmission/reception of the second user equipment which has different time domain scheduling unit from the first user equipment.
