Abstract

A base station of a wireless communication system is disclosed. The base station of the wireless communication includes a communication module, and a processor. The processor generates a preemption indicator indicating a preempted resource. In this case, the resource indicated by the preemption indicator does not include an orthogonal frequency divisional multiplexing (OFDM) symbol configured as an uplink (UL) symbol by a radio resource control (RRC) signal. The processor is configured to transmit the preemption indicator to a user equipment of the wireless system based on a predetermined period.
