Abstract

Disclosed are: a communication technique for merging, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system; and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail, security and safety-related services, and the like) on the basis of 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. The present invention provides a method by which a base station transmits a DM-RS in a wireless mobile communication system supporting a first transmission time interval (TTI) and a second TTI, comprising the steps of: checking a TTI used in a downlink control channel transmission; determining, as a first pattern, a DM-RS for the downlink control channel if the TTI is the first TTI, and determining, as a second pattern, a DM-RS for the downlink control channel if the TTI is the second TTI; and transmitting, to the terminal, the downlink control channel and the DM-RS according to the determination.

Claims (35)

1. A method by a base station, in a wireless mobile communication system the method comprising:

identifying a service type of a terminal, the terminal being associated with a first antenna port;

determining a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) pattern based on the identified service type of the terminal from among a first DM-RS pattern and a second DM-RS pattern, the first DM-RS pattern being based on a first resource corresponding to the first antenna port, and the second DM-RS pattern being based on a second resource corresponding to the first antenna port and a second antenna port; and

transmitting, to the terminal, a downlink control channel and a DM-RS based on the DM-RS pattern.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of DM-RS resources for the second DM-RS pattern is greater than a number of DM-RS resources for the first DM-RS pattern.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein in case that the identified service type of the terminal corresponds to an ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC), the DM-RS pattern is determined as the second DM-RS pattern.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first type of the second DM-RS pattern corresponds to transmitting the DM-RS on the second resource, and a second type of the second DM-RS pattern corresponds to transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) on a resource associated with the second antenna port.

5. A method by a terminal in a wireless mobile communication system, the method comprising:

identifying a first antenna port associated with the terminal;

identifying a service type of the terminal;

determining a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) pattern based on the identified service type of the terminal; and

receiving a downlink control channel and a DM-RS based on the DM-RS pattern,

wherein the DM-RS pattern is determined based on the identified service type of the terminal from among a first DM-RS pattern and a second DM-RS pattern, the first DM-RS pattern being based on a first resource corresponding to the first antenna port, and the second DM-RS pattern being based on a second resource corresponding to the first antenna port and a second antenna port.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a number of DM-RS resources for the second DM-RS pattern is greater than a number of DM-RS resources for the first DM-RS pattern.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein in case that the identified service type of the terminal corresponds to an ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC), the DM-RS pattern is determined as the second DM-RS pattern.

8. A base station of a wireless mobile communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

identify a service type of a terminal, the terminal being associated with a first antenna port;

determine a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) pattern based on the identified service type of the terminal from among a first DM-RS pattern and a second DM-RS pattern; and

transmit, to the terminal, a downlink control channel and a DM-RS based on the DM-RS pattern,

wherein the first DM-RS pattern is based on a first resource corresponding to the first antenna port, and the second DM-RS pattern is based on a second resource corresponding to the first antenna port and a second antenna port.

9. The base station of claim 8 , wherein a number of DM-RS resources for the second DM-RS pattern is greater than a number of DM-RS resources for the first DM-RS pattern.

10. The base station of claim 8 , wherein in case that the identified service type of the terminal corresponds to an ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC), the DM-RS pattern is determined as the second DM-RS pattern.

11. The base station of claim 8 , wherein a first type of the second DM-RS pattern corresponds to transmitting the DM-RS on the second resource, and a second type of the second DM-RS pattern corresponds to transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) on a resource associated with the second antenna port.

12. A terminal of a wireless mobile communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

identify a first antenna port associated with the terminal;

identify a service type of the terminal;

determine a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) pattern based on the identified service type of the terminal; and

receive a downlink control channel and a DM-RS based on the DM-RS pattern,

wherein the DM-RS pattern is determined based on the identified service type of the terminal from among a first DM-RS pattern and a second DM-RS pattern, the first DM-RS pattern being based on a first resource corresponding to the first antenna port, and the second DM-RS pattern being based on a second resource corresponding to the first antenna port and a second antenna port.

13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein a number of DM-RS resources for the second DM-RS pattern is greater than a number of DM-RS resources for the first DM-RS pattern.

14. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein in case that the service type of the terminal corresponds to an ultra-reliable and low latency communication (URLLC), the DM-RS pattern is determined as the second DM-RS pattern.
