Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for transmitting or receiving data in an unlicensed band. The method may include: receiving configuration information of one or more subbands relating to a cell system bandwidth included in an unlicensed band or a bandwidth part included in an unlicensed band; receiving downlink control information including uplink frequency domain resource allocation information for uplink data transmission in the bandwidth part or the system bandwidth; on the basis of the resource allocation information, performing an LBT operation on each of subbands including frequency resources allocated for the uplink data transmission; and on the basis of the result of the LBT operation, determining a subband for transmitting uplink data; and transmitting the uplink data in the determined subband.

Claims (15)

1. A method for an uplink data transmission using an unlicensed band by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

configuring multiple subbands of a bandwidth part for the unlicensed band;

receiving downlink control information including frequency domain resource allocation information for transmitting uplink data;

performing an listen before talk (LBT) operation on each of the multiple subbands based on the downlink control information;

determining whether the LBT operation is succeed on all of the multiple subbands; and

performing a transmission of the uplink data based on the determination that the LBT operation is succeed on all of the multiple subbands.

2. A user equipment (UE) for an uplink data transmission using an unlicensed band, the UE comprising:

a receiver configured to receive downlink control information including frequency domain resource allocation information for transmitting uplink data;

a controller configured to configure multiple subbands of a bandwidth part for the unlicensed band, perform an listen before talk (LBT) operation on each of the multiple subbands based on the downlink control information, and determine whether the LBT operation is succeed on all of the multiple subbands; and

a transmitter configured to perform a transmission of the uplink data based on the determination that the LBT operation is succeed on all of the multiple subbands.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information is received via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

4. The UE of claim 2 , wherein the downlink control information is received via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving configuration information for configuring the multiple subbands.

6. The UE of claim 2 , wherein the receiver further configured to receive configuration information for configuring the multiple subbands.
