Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and device for receiving a downlink signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system. More particularly, the method includes: receiving first quasi co-location (QCL) characteristic-related information for the downlink communication of a first RF resource; and receiving a downlink signal by using a second RF resource, wherein the second RF resource indicates an RF resource when the use of an RF resource is changed from uplink communication use to downlink communication use at a specific time, and a downlink signal is decoded by using second QCL characteristic-related information for the downlink communication of the second RF resource, and the first QCL characteristic-related information and the second QCL characteristic-related information are independently defined.

Claims (30)

1. A method for receiving a downlink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information associated with a first quasi co-location (QCL) property for a first subframe configured for a downlink communication;

receiving information associated with a second QCL property indicating a part of the first QCL property available for decoding a downlink signal received through a second subframe reconfigured from an uplink subframe to a downlink subframe for the downlink communication; and

decoding the downlink signal received through the second subframe using the part of the first QCL property indicated by the information associated with the second QCL property.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first QCL property includes at least one of a delay spread, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, frequency shift, average received power, received timing, average gain and average delay, and

the second QCL property indicates a part of the first QCL property available for decoding of the second subframe.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a reception power for the second subframe is configured to be lower than a reception power for the first subframe.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first subframe and the second subframe are transmitted through different frequency bands, and

the second QCL property corresponds to at least one QCL parameter commonly assumed between the first subframe and the second subframe transmitted through the different frequency bands, respectively.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least one parameter is commonly assumed between the information associated with the first and second QCL properties when the information associated with the first and second QCL properties is configured to use an oscillator for the first and second subframes.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the first and second QCL properties is determined according to a radio resource at a time point in which downlink control information (DCI) is received.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein a format of the DCI is a DCI format 2D.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) starting symbol for the first subframe and a PDSCH starting symbol for the second subframe are independently defined.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein specific physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource element (RE) mapping and quasi-co-location indicator (PQI) state information is configured to be differently applied to the first and second subframes.

10. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF); and

a processor configured to:

receive in associated with first quasi co-location (QCL) property for a first subframe configured for a downlink communication,

receive information associated with a second QCL property indicating a part of the first QCL property available for decoding a downlink signal received through a second subframe reconfigured from an uplink subframe to a downlink subframe for the downlink communication, and

decode the downlink signal received through the second subframe using the part of the first QCL property indicated by the information associated with the second QCL property.

11. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the first QCL property includes at least one of a delay spread, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, frequency shift, average received power, received timing, average gain and average delay, and

the second QCL property indicates a part of the first QCL property available for decoding of the second subframe.

12. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein a reception power for the second subframe is configured to be lower than a reception power for the first subframe.

13. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the first subframe and the second subframe are transmitted through different frequency bands, and

the second QCL property corresponds to at least one QCL parameter commonly assumed between the first subframe and the second subframe transmitted through the different frequency bands, respectively.

14. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein at least one parameter is commonly assumed between the information associated with the first and second QCL properties when the information associated with the first and second QCL properties is configured to use an oscillator for the first and second subframes.

15. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the information associated with the first and second QCL properties is determined according to a radio resource at a time point in which downlink control information (DCI) is received.

16. The UE according to claim 15 , wherein a format of the DCI is a DCI format 2D.

17. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) starting symbol for the first subframe and a PDSCH starting symbol for the second subframe are independently defined.

18. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein specific physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource element (RE) mapping and quasi-co-location indicator (PQI) state information is configured to be differently applied to the first and second subframes.
