Abstract

A method and apparatus for mapping/demapping a resource efficiently in a wireless communication system are provided. A resource mapping method of a transmitter in a wireless communication system includes precoding pairs of symbols, arranging the pairs of precoded symbols adjacently in a resource block, and transmitting the pairs of precoded symbols in the resource block.

Claims (36)

1. A method of transmitting data in a wireless communication system using transmission diversity, the method comprising:

precoding data symbols;

determining whether a number of resource elements available for transmitting the precoded data symbols in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol in a resource block is odd;

mapping the precoded data symbols to the available resource elements; and

transmitting the precoded data symbols mapped to the available resource elements,

wherein, if the number of resource elements available for transmitting the precoded data symbols in the OFDM symbol of the resource block is odd, the precoded data symbols are not mapped to at least one of the available resource elements.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the OFDM symbol contains a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the precoding of data symbols comprises maintaining at least one pair of data symbols non-precoded.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the precoding of data symbols comprises selecting a pair of data symbols to be precoded on a subcarrier across at least one pair of OFDM symbols.

5. A method of transmitting data in a wireless communication system using transmission diversity, the method comprising:

precoding data symbols;

determining, from among resource elements in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol available for transmitting the precoded data symbols, whether resource elements to be mapped for transmitting the precoded data symbols are separated by two or more indexes;

mapping the precoded data symbols to the resource elements; and

transmitting the precoded data symbols mapped to the resource elements,

wherein, if the resource elements to be mapped for transmitting the precoded data symbols in the OFDM symbol are separated by two or more indexes, the precoded data symbols are not mapped to at least one of the available resource elements.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the OFDM symbol contains a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the precoding of data symbols comprises maintaining at least one pair of data symbols non-precoded.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the precoding of data symbols comprises selecting a pair of data symbols to be precoded on a subcarrier across at least one pair of OFDM symbols.

9. An apparatus for transmitting data in a wireless communication system using transmission diversity, the apparatus comprising:

a precoder for precoding data symbols;

a determining unit for determining whether a number of resource elements available for transmitting the precoded data symbols in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol in a resource block is odd;

a resource element mapper for mapping the precoded data symbols to the available resource elements; and

a transceiver for transmitting the precoded data symbols mapped to the available resource elements,

wherein, if the number of resource elements available for transmitting the precoded data symbols in the OFDM symbol of the resource block is odd, the precoded data symbols are not mapped to at least one of the available resource elements.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the OFDM symbol contains a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the precoder maintains at least one pair of data symbols non-precoded.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the precoder selects a pair of data symbols to be precoded on a subcarrier across at least one pair of OFDM symbols.

13. An apparatus for transmitting data in a wireless communication system using transmission diversity, the apparatus comprising:

a precoder for precoding data symbols;

a determining unit for determining, from among resource elements in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol available for transmitting the precoded data symbols, whether resource elements to be mapped for transmitting the precoded data symbols are separated by two or more indexes;

a resource element mapper for mapping the precoded data symbols to the resource elements; and

a transceiver for transmitting the precoded data symbols mapped to the resource elements,

wherein, if the resource elements to be mapped for transmitting the precoded data symbols in the OFDM symbol are separated by two or more indexes, the precoded data symbols are not mapped to at least one of the available resource elements.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the OFDM symbol contains a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the precoder maintains at least one pair of data symbols non-precoded.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the precoder selects a pair of data symbols to be precoded on a subcarrier across at least one pair of OFDM symbols.
