Abstract

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for supporting high-speed mobility in a communication. A method of a terminal may comprise: estimating a first frequency offset based on a downlink transmission received from a base station; estimating first time-varying characteristic information based on the downlink transmission; and transmitting, to the base station, a first uplink transmission including time-varying characteristic feedback information based on the first time-varying characteristic information and a configured time-varying characteristic information feedback condition.

Claims (36)

1 . A method of a terminal, comprising:

receiving a first downlink (DL) transmission from a base station;

estimating a first frequency offset (FO) based on the first DL transmission;

estimating first time-varying characteristic information based on the first DL transmission;

transmitting, to the base station, a first uplink (UL) transmission including time-varying characteristic feedback information based on the first time-varying characteristic information and a configured time-varying characteristic information feedback condition;

receiving, from the base station, a second DL transmission including Doppler shift (DS) feedback information generated in consideration of the time-varying characteristic feedback information; and

performing a reception operation for a third DL transmission based on the Doppler shift feedback information included in the second DL transmission.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first DL transmission includes at least one of a synchronization signal (SS), a reference signal (RS), a data channel, or a control channel, and at least one of the SS or RS included in the first DL transmission is used to estimate the first FO.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein at least one of the SS or RS included in the first DL transmission is compensated based on the first FO.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first FO is estimated as a sum of a carrier frequency offset (CFO) in the first DL transmission and a Doppler shift (DS) in the first DL transmission.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the time-varying characteristic information feedback condition is a condition for determining whether the first time-varying characteristic information is greater than or equal to a time-varying characteristic information threshold, and the time-varying characteristic information threshold is a predetermined value or a value set by the base station.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first UL transmission includes at least one of a preamble, a reference signal, a data channel, or a control channel.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the time-varying characteristic feedback information indicates whether the time-varying characteristic information feedback condition is satisfied, and the time-varying characteristic feedback information is included in a data channel or control channel included in the first UL transmission.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the DS feedback information includes information on an estimated DS, the second DL transmission is compensated based on the estimated DS and transmitted to the terminal.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the DS feedback information includes information indicating to ignore an estimated DS, the second DL transmission is transmitted to the terminal without compensation for a DS between the base station and the terminal.

10 . A method of a terminal, comprising:

receiving a first downlink (DL) transmission from a base station;

estimating a first frequency offset (FO) based on the first DL transmission;

transmitting, to the base station, a first uplink (UL) transmission frequency pre-shifted by twice the first FO;

receiving, from the base station, a second DL transmission including carrier frequency offset (CFO) feedback information; and

performing a reception operation for a third DL transmission based on the CFO feedback information included in the second DL transmission.

11 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the first DL transmission includes at least one of a synchronization signal (SS), a reference signal (RS), a data channel, or a control channel, and at least one of the SS or RS included in the first DL transmission is used to estimate the first FO.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein at least one of the SS or RS included in the first DL transmission is compensated based on the first FO.

13 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the first FO is estimated as a sum of a carrier frequency offset (CFO) in the first DL transmission and a Doppler shift (DS) in the first DL transmission.

14 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the first UL transmission includes at least one of a preamble, a reference signal, a data channel, or a control channel.

15 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein the CFO feedback information includes at least one of information indicating to ignore an estimated CFO or information on the estimated CFO, and the CFO feedback information is included in a data channel included in the second DL transmission.

16 . The method according to claim 10 , wherein when the CFO feedback information includes information indicating to ignore an estimated CFO, the second DL transmission is transmitted to the terminal without compensation for a CFO between the base station and the terminal.

17 . A method of a base station, comprising:

transmitting a first downlink (DL) transmission to a terminal;

receiving a first uplink (UL) transmission including time-varying characteristic feedback information from the terminal;

estimating a Doppler shift (DS) based on the time-varying characteristic feedback information;

transmitting, to the terminal, a second DL transmission including DS feedback information generated in consideration of the time-varying characteristic feedback information; and

transmitting, to the terminal, a third DL transmission based on the DS feedback information included in the second DL transmission.

18 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein the first DL transmission includes at least one of a synchronization signal (SS), a reference signal (RS), a data channel, or a control channel.

19 . The method according to claim 17 , wherein the DS feedback information includes at least one of estimated DS information including an estimated DS or information indicating to ignore an estimated DS.

20 . The method according to claim 19 , wherein when the DS feedback information includes information indicating to ignore an estimated DS, the second DL transmission is transmitted to the terminal without compensation for a DS between the base station and the terminal.
