Method for transmitting/receiving downlink control information in wireless communication system and device therefor
Disclosed in the present invention is a method for a terminal to receive downlink control information from a base station in a wireless communication system. More particularly, the present invention comprises the steps of receiving control information in a first area of a specific subframe on the basis of a first reference signal, receiving control information in a second area of the specific subframe on the basis of a second reference signal, wherein the first reference signal and the second reference signal are applied to a same precoding.
1. A method for receiving downlink control information from a base station at a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, by the user equipment, first control information in a first physical resource block (PRB) pair of a specific subframe using a first antenna port transmitting a first reference signal; and
receiving, by the user equipment, second control information in a second PRB pair of the specific subframe using a second antenna port transmitting a second reference signal,
wherein a same precoding is applied to the first reference signal and the second reference signal, when a distance between the first PRB pair and the second PRB pair is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value in a unit of frequency, and
wherein a different precoding is applied to the first reference signal and the second reference signal, when the distance between the first PRB pair and the second PRB pair is greater than the predetermined value in the unit of frequency.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
performing channel estimation for the second PRB pair by combining the first reference signal and the second reference signal,
wherein the first control information is received in a first area of the first PRB pair and, and
wherein the second control information is received in a second area of the second PRB pair.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second control information transmitted using the same layer as the first control information is transmitted.
4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first reference signal and the second reference signal are mapped into a predetermined area of the specific subframe through code division multiplexing.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first control information received in the first PRB pair and the second control information received in the second PRB pair correspond to one downlink control information.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first control information received in the first PRB pair and the second control information received in the second PRB pair corresponds to separate downlink control information for the user equipment.
7. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first area is a first slot of the specific subframe, and the second area is a second slot of the specific subframe.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined value in unit of the frequency corresponds to one resource block or two resource blocks.
9. A user equipment in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:
a wireless communication module configured to transmit and receive a signal to and from a base station; and
a processor operatively connected to the wireless communication module and configured to process the signal,
wherein the processor is further configured to control the wireless communication module to:
receive first control information in a first physical resource block pair (PRB) of a specific subframe using a first antenna port transmitting a first reference signal, and
receive second control information in a second PRB of the specific subframe using a second antenna port transmitting a second reference signal,
wherein a same precoding is applied to the first reference signal and the second reference signal, when a distance between the first PRB pair and the second PRB pair is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value in a unit of frequency, and
wherein a different precoding is applied to the first reference signal and the second reference signal, when the distance between the first PRB pair and the second PRB pair is greater than the predetermined value in the unit of frequency.
10. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the processor performs channel estimation for the second PRB by combining the first reference signal and the second reference signal,
wherein the first control information is received in a first area of the first PRB pair and, and
wherein the second control information is received in a second area of the second PRB pair.
11. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the second control information transmitted using the same layer as the first control information is transmitted.
12. The user equipment according to claim 10 , wherein the first reference signal and the second reference signal are mapped into a predetermined PRB pair of the specific subframe through code division multiplexing.
13. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the first control information received in the first PRB air and the second control information received in the second PRB pair correspond to one downlink control information.
14. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein each of the first control information received in the first PRB pair and the second control information received in the second PRB pair corresponds to separate downlink control information for the user equipment.
15. The user equipment according to claim 10 , wherein the first area is a first slot of the specific subframe, and the second area is a second slot of the specific subframe.
16. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the predetermined value in the unit of the frequency corresponds to one resource block or two resource blocks.
