Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for data transmission or reception performed by a first node in a wireless communication system, the method including: performing a first data transmission or reception to or from a UE on an access link on the basis of a first timing case in an access time duration; and performing a second data transmission or reception to or from a second node or a donor base station on a backhaul link on the basis of a second timing case in a backhaul time duration, wherein downlink transmission timings over the donor base station, the first node, the second node and the UE are aligned in the first timing case, and downlink and uplink transmission timings or downlink and uplink reception timings are aligned in the first node in the second timing case.

Claims (24)

1. A method for receiving first slot format information and second slot format information in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a node and comprising:

receiving the first slot format information, wherein the first slot format information is slot format information for distributed unit (DU) operation;

receiving the second slot format information, wherein the second slot format information is slot format information for mobile terminal (MT) operation;

performing the DU operation based on the first slot format information; and

performing the MT operation based on the second slot format information,

wherein the first slot format information or the second slot format information is information informing a symbol type for a plurality of symbols included in a slot.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the symbol type is one of an uplink type, a downlink type, or a flexible type.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the second slot format information informs that the plurality of symbols in the slot for the MT operation are configured from the uplink type and then configured to the downlink type.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a symbol of the flexible type is present between a symbol of the uplink type and a symbol of the downlink type.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first slot format information informs that the plurality of symbols in the slot for the DU operation are configured from the downlink type and then configured to the uplink type.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the node performs the DU operation and the MT operation simultaneously in a same slot.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MT operation is operation related to a communication between the node and a parent node, and

wherein the DU operation is operation related to a communication between the node and a child node or a communication between the node and a user equipment (UE).

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the node is an Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) node.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first slot format information is different from the second slot format information.

10. A node comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one memory; and

at least one processor operatively coupled to the at least one memory and the transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

control the transceiver to receive the first slot format information, wherein the first slot format information is slot format information for distributed unit (DU) operation;

control the transceiver to receive the second slot format information, wherein the second slot format information is slot format information for mobile terminal (MT) operation;

perform the DU operation based on the first slot format information; and

perform the MT operation based on the second slot format information,

wherein the first slot format information or the second slot format information is information informing a symbol type for a plurality of symbols included in a slot.
