Abstract

An apparatus and a method for transmitting/receiving downlink data channel signal transmission information in a cellular radio communication system using a Cooperative Multi-Point (COMP) scheme are provided. In the downlink data channel signal transmission information transmission method, a Base Station (BS) transmits downlink data channel signal transmission information including information related to Resource Elements (REs) scheduled for a downlink data channel signal transmission to a User Equipment (UE), and transmits downlink data channel signal non-transmission information including information related to REs through which a downlink data channel signal is not transmitted among the REs scheduled for the downlink data channel signal transmission to the UE.

Claims (34)

1. A method for transmitting downlink data by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting configuration information including a plurality of values for a parameter set;

transmitting information indicating one of the plurality of values for the parameter set;

determining resource elements on which downlink data is transmitted based on the information indicating the one of the plurality of values for the parameter set; and

transmitting the downlink data on the determined resource elements,

wherein the parameter set comprises multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe configuration information.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the parameter set further comprises at least one of a number of cell-specific reference signal (CRS) antenna ports, starting symbol information for downlink data, and a position information related to the at least one of a number of CRS antenna ports.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the configuration information is transmitted by a higher layer signaling.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the information indicating the one of the plurality of values has two bits.

5. A method for receiving downlink data by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information including a plurality of values for a parameter set;

receiving information indicating one of the plurality of values for the parameter set;

determining resource elements on which downlink data is transmitted based on the information indicating the one of the plurality of values for the parameter set; and

receiving the downlink data on the determined resource elements,

wherein the parameter set comprises multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe configuration information.

6. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the parameter set further comprises at least one of a number of cell-specific reference signal (CRS) antenna ports, starting symbol information for downlink data, and a position information related to the at least one of a number of CRS antenna ports.

7. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the configuration information is transmitted by a higher layer signaling.

8. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the information indicating the one of the plurality of values has two bits.

9. A base station for transmitting downlink data in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transmitter for transmitting configuration information including a plurality of values for a parameter set, and for transmitting information indicating one of the plurality of values for the parameter set; and

a controller for determining resource elements on which downlink data is transmitted based on the information indicating the one of the plurality of values for the parameter set,

wherein the transmitter further configured to transmit the downlink data on the determined resource elements, and

wherein the parameter set comprises multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe configuration information.

10. The base station as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the parameter set further comprises at least one of a number of cell-specific reference signal (CRS) antenna ports, starting symbol information for downlink data and a position information related to the at least one of a number of CRS antenna ports.

11. The base station as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the configuration information is transmitted by a higher layer signaling.

12. The base station as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the information indicating the one of the plurality of values has two bits.

13. A terminal for receiving downlink data in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a receiver for receiving configuration information including a plurality of values for a parameter set, and for receiving information indicating one of the plurality of values for the parameter set; and

a controller for determining resource elements on which downlink data is transmitted based on the information indicating the one of the plurality of values for the parameter set,

wherein the receiver further configured to receive the downlink data on the determined resource elements, and

wherein the parameter set comprises multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe configuration information.

14. The terminal as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the parameter set further comprises at least one of a number of cell-specific reference signal (CRS) antenna ports, starting symbol information for downlink data and a position information related to the at least one of a number of CRS antenna ports.

15. The terminal as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the configuration information is transmitted by a higher layer signaling.

16. The terminal as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the information indicating one of the plurality of values has two bits.
