Abstract

A method for determining link direction of resources in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving frame configuration information from a base station, wherein the frame configuration information indicates at least one of default resources and flexible resources in a frame, receiving downlink control information (DCI) format from the base station, and determining link direction of the flexible resources in the frame based on the frame configuration information and the DCI format.

Claims (28)

1. A method for determining link direction of a resource in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:

receiving frame configuration information from a base station, wherein the frame configuration information informs at least one of a default resource and a flexible resource in a frame, wherein each of the default resource is a downlink resource or an uplink resource, and the flexible resource is a specific resource which is not informed as the default resource by the frame configuration information,

receiving downlink control information (DCI) informing link direction of the flexible resource, from the base station; and

determining the link direction of the flexible resource in the frame based on both the frame configuration information and the DCI,

wherein a time duration of both the default resource and the flexible resource is determined by a transmission time interval (TTI).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the DCI informs the UE of an uplink transmission to the base station, the link direction of the flexible resource is determined as uplink.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the DCI informs the UE of a downlink transmission from the base station, the link direction of the flexible resource is determined a downlink.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the frame configuration information is received through a radio resource control (RRC) message.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is received through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

6. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

a processor coupled to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive frame configuration information from a base station, wherein the frame configuration information informs at least one of a default resource and a flexible resource in a frame, wherein each of the default resource is a downlink resource or an uplink resource, and the flexible resource is a specific resource which is not informed as the default resource by the frame configuration information,

receive downlink control information (DCI) informing link direction of the flexible resource, from the base station; and

determine the link direction of the flexible resource in the frame based on both the frame configuration information and the DCI,

wherein a time duration of both the default resource and the flexible resource is determined by a transmission time interval (TTI).

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein when the DCI informs the UE of an uplink transmission to the base station, the link direction of the flexible resource is determined as uplink.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein when the DCI informs the UE of a downlink transmission from the base station, the link direction of the flexible resource is determined a downlink.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the frame configuration information is received through a radio resource control (RRC) message.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the DCI is received through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

11. A processing apparatus configured to control a user equipment (UE) to operate in a wireless communication system, the processing apparatus comprising:

a processor; and

a computer memory operably connected to the processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving frame configuration information from a base station, wherein the frame configuration information informs at least one of a default resource and a flexible resource in a frame, wherein each of the default resource is a downlink resource or an uplink resource, and the flexible resource is a specific resource which is not informed as the default resource by the frame configuration information,

receiving downlink control information (DCI) informing link direction of the flexible resource, from the base station; and

determining the link direction of the flexible resource in the frame based on both the frame configuration information and the DCI,

wherein a time duration of both the default resource and the flexible resource is determined by a transmission time interval (TTI).
