Abstract

Claims (69)

1. A terminal configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver;

a processor functionally connected to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive configuration information that is related to a guard-band for an uplink carrier and for a downlink carrier,

receive a first downlink control information (DCI) including a bitmap,

wherein each bit of the bitmap indicates whether each sub-band of a first group comprising one or more sub-bands in the downlink carrier is available for reception of a downlink channel,

receive a second DCI including scheduling information for transmission of the an uplink channel,

receive the downlink channel based on the first DCI,

transmit the uplink channel based on the second DCI,

wherein the downlink channel is received on a first resource,

wherein the first resource includes at least one sub-band of the first group indicated by the bitmap to be available for reception of the downlink channel, and the first resource does not include a resource for a first guard-band allocated based on the configuration information,

wherein the uplink channel is transmitted on a second resource,

wherein when the second resource includes a plurality of sub-bands of a second group of sub-bands in the uplink carrier, the second resource includes a resource for a second guard-band allocated based on the configuration information,

wherein the first guard-band and the second guard-band are each located between adjacent sub-bands in a frequency domain.

2. The terminal as claimed in 1 ,

wherein when the uplink channel is scheduled to be transmitted only on one sub-band, the second resource does not include the resource for the second guard-band allocated based on the configuration information.

3. The terminal as claimed in 1 ,

wherein the first DCI is a group-common DCI (GC DCI).

4. The terminal as claimed in 1 ,

wherein one or more sub-bands of the first group are configured through radio resource control (RRC) signal.

5. The terminal as claimed in 1 ,

wherein each of sub-band of the first group is a unit for channel access in an unlicensed band.

6. The terminal as claimed in 1 ,

wherein each sub-band of the second group is a unit for channel access in an unlicensed band.

7. A method for use by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information that is related to a guard-band for an uplink carrier and for a downlink carrier;

receiving a first downlink control information (DCI) including a bitmap,

wherein each bit of the bitmap indicates whether each of sub-band a first group comprising one or more sub-bands in the downlink carrier is available for reception of a downlink channel;

receiving a second DCI including scheduling information for transmission of the an uplink channel;

receiving the downlink channel based on the first DCI;

transmitting the uplink channel based on the second DCI,

wherein the downlink channel is received on a first resource,

wherein the first resource includes at least one sub-band of the first group by the bitmap to be available for reception of the downlink channel, and the first resource does not include a resource for a first guard-band allocated based on the configuration information,

wherein the uplink channel is transmitted on a second resource,

wherein when the second resource includes a plurality of sub-bands of a second group of sub-bands in the uplink carrier, the second resource includes a resource for a second guard-band allocated based on the configuration information,

wherein the first guard-band and the second guard-band are each located between adjacent sub-bands in a frequency domain.

8. The method as claimed in 7 ,

wherein when the uplink channel is scheduled to be transmitted only on one sub-band, the second resource does not include the resource for the second guard-band allocated based on the configuration information related.

9. The method as claimed in 7 ,

wherein the first DCI is a group-common DCI (GC DCI).

10. The method as claimed in 7 ,

wherein one or more sub-bands of the first group are configured through radio resource control (RRC) signal.

11. The method as claimed in 7 ,

wherein each sub-band of the first group is a unit for channel access in an unlicensed band.

12. The method as claimed in 7 ,

wherein each sub-band of the second group is a unit for channel access in an unlicensed band.

13. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting configuration information that is related to a guard-band for an uplink carrier and for a downlink carrier,

transmitting a first downlink control information (DCI) including a bitmap,

wherein each bit of the bitmap indicates whether each sub-band of a first group comprising one or more sub-bands in the downlink carrier is available for transmission of a downlink channel;

transmitting a second DCI including scheduling information for reception of the an uplink channel;

transmitting the downlink channel based on the first DCI;

receiving the uplink channel based on the second DCI,

wherein the downlink channel is transmitted on a first resource,

wherein the first resource includes at least one sub-band of a first group indicated by bitmap to be available for transmission of the downlink channel, and the first resource does not include a resource for a first guard-band allocated based on the configuration information,

wherein the uplink channel is received on a second resource,

wherein when the second resource includes a plurality of sub-bands of a second group of sub-bands in the uplink carrier, the second resource includes a resource for a second guard-band allocated based on the configuration information,

wherein the first guard-band and the second guard-band are each located between adjacent sub-bands in a frequency domain.

14. The method as claimed in 13 ,

wherein when the uplink channel is scheduled to be received only on one sub-band, the second resource does not include the resource for the second guard-band allocated based on the configuration information.

15. The method as claimed in 13 ,

wherein the first DCI is a group-common DCI (GC DCI).

16. The method as claimed in 13 ,

wherein one or more sub-bands of the first group are configured through radio resource control (RRC) signal.

17. The method as claimed in 13 ,

wherein each sub-band of the first group is a unit for channel access in an unlicensed band.

18. The method as claimed in 13 ,

wherein each sub-band of the second group is a unit for channel access in an unlicensed band.
