Abstract

A method for reducing interference of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless access system, and the user equipment (UE) for the same are disclosed. The method for reducing interference of a UE includes receiving a signal from a first base station (BS) and a second BS; and detecting a signal of the second BS from the reception signal, wherein allocation resources of the detection signal of the second BS is OFDM-symbol-level-shifted according to a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) of the first BS in such a manner that a control region does not overlap with another part.

Claims (22)

1. A method for reducing interference of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless access system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a macro base station (BS), a first subframe including a first physical broadcast channel (PBCH), a first primary synchronization channel (PSCH) and a first secondary synchronization channel (SSCH);

receiving, from a heterogeneous BS, a second subframe including a second PBCH, a second PSCH and a second SSCH, wherein the second subframe is OFDM-symbol-level-shifted in order that at least one of the second PSCH and the second SSCH is overlapped with the first PBCH, and in order that both of the second PSCH and the second SSCH are not overlapped with a common reference signal (CRS) from the macro BS; and

detecting the second PSCH and the second SSCH by cancelling the first PBCH from entire reception signals in the first subframe.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the UE is served by the macro BS.

3. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

acquiring synchronization of the heterogeneous BS by using the second PSCH and the second SSCH.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising: performing a handover process from the macro BS to the heterogeneous BS.

5. A user equipment (UE) for reducing interference from heterogeneous base stations in a wireless access system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit that receives signals from a macro base station (BS) or a heterogeneous BS; and

a processor, operably coupled with the RF unit, that:

controls the RF unit to receive, from a macro base station (BS), a first subframe including a first physical broadcast channel (PBCH), a first primary synchronization channel (PSCH) and a first secondary synchronization channel (SSCH),

controls the RF unit to receive, from a heterogeneous BS, a second subframe including a second PBCH, a second PSCH and a second SSCH,

wherein the second subframe is OFDM-symbol-level-shifted in order that, at least one of the second PSCH and the second SSCH is overlapped with the first PBCH, and in order that both of the second PSCH and the second SSCH are not overlapped with a common reference signal (CRS) from the macro BS, and

detects the second PSCH and the second SSCH by cancelling the first PBCH from entire reception signals in the first subframe.

6. The UE according to claim 5 ,

wherein the UE is served by the macro BS.

7. The UE according to claim 6 wherein the processor further:

acquires synchronization of the heterogeneous BS by using the second PSCH and the second SSCH.

8. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the processor further:

performs a handover process from the macro BS to the heterogeneous BS.
