Abstract

A method for signal transmission in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes: transmitting backhaul resource allocation information by a base station to a relay node; decoding the backhaul resource allocation information by the relay node; and transmitting backhaul downlink control information and backhaul downlink data by the base station to the relay node, wherein a start position of a symbol for transmitting the backhaul downlink control information is fixed to a specific symbol of a backhaul link subframe, and the backhaul resource allocation information includes information on a radio resource for transmitting the backhaul downlink data.

Claims (22)

1. A method for signal transmission in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting backhaul resource allocation information by a base station to a relay node;

decoding the backhaul resource allocation information by the relay node; and

transmitting backhaul downlink control information and backhaul downlink data by the base station to the relay node,

wherein a start position of a symbol for transmitting the backhaul downlink control information is fixed to a specific symbol of a backhaul link subframe when a modification signal is not provided by a higher layer signal, or the start position of the symbol for transmitting the backhaul downlink control information is changed over the specific symbol of the backhaul link subframe when the modification signal is provided by the higher layer signal,

wherein the backhaul resource allocation information includes first information on a radio resource for transmitting the backhaul downlink data,

wherein the backhaul resource allocation information further includes second information on a symbol at which a radio resource for transmitting the backhaul downlink data starts and third information on a length of the radio resource in a time domain, and

wherein if the second and third information are not included in the backhaul resource allocation information, the first information on the radio resource for transmitting the backhaul downlink data indicates a symbol contiguously located next to the symbol for transmitting the backhaul downlink control information as a start symbol of a radio resource for transmitting the backhaul downlink data, in a frequency band in which the backhaul downlink control information is transmitted.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the backhaul resource allocation information is transmitted using the higher layer signal.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the backhaul resource allocation information is transmitted using a radio resource control (RRC) message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the start position of the symbol for transmitting the backhaul downlink control information is any one of 3rd, 4th, and 5th symbols in the backhaul link subframe.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein if the specific symbol is the 4th symbol of the backhaul link subframe, the start symbol of the radio resource for transmitting the backhaul downlink data is the 5th symbol of the backhaul link subframe.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a radio resource region in which the backhaul downlink control information is transmitted includes one or more symbols in a time domain.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein when the radio resource region in which the backhaul downlink control information is transmitted includes a symbol located in a first slot of a backhaul link subframe and a symbol located in a second slot, a backhaul downlink grant is transmitted in the symbol located in the first slot, and a backhaul uplink grant is transmitted in the symbol located in the second slot.

8. A relay node comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

a processor coupled to the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to receive backhaul resource allocation information from a base station, decode the backhaul resource allocation information, and receive backhaul downlink control information and backhaul downlink data from the base station,

wherein a start position of a symbol for transmitting the backhaul downlink control information is fixed to a specific symbol of a backhaul link subframe when a modification signal is not provided by a higher layer signal, or the start position of the symbol for transmitting the backhaul downlink control information is changed over the specific symbol of the backhaul link subframe when the modification signal is provided by the higher layer signal,

wherein the backhaul resource allocation information includes first information on a radio resource for transmitting the backhaul downlink data,

wherein the backhaul resource allocation information further includes second information on a symbol at which a radio resource for transmitting the backhaul downlink data starts and third information on a length of the radio resource in a time domain, and

wherein if the second and third information are not included in the backhaul resource allocation information, the first information on the radio resource for transmitting the backhaul downlink data indicates a symbol contiguously located next to the symbol for transmitting the backhaul downlink control information as a start symbol of a radio resource for transmitting the backhaul downlink data, in a frequency band in which the backhaul downlink control information is transmitted.
