Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more specifically, disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transmitting or receiving a downlink signal by considering an antenna port relationship. A method for user equipment receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) signal in the wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: determining from the downlink subframe a resource element (RE) on which the PDSCH is mapped; and receiving the PDSCH signal based on the RE on which the PDSCH is mapped, wherein when the DCI is comprised according to DCI format 1A and the downlink subframe is a multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) subframe, the RE on which the PDSCH is mapped can be determined depending on cell-specific reference signal (CRS) location information, which is included in a PDSCH resource element mapping and Quasi co-location indicator (PQI) parameter set that is established by an upper layer.

Claims (29)

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

receiving one or more PDSCH resource element and Quasi co-location Indicator (PQI) parameter sets;

determining a PDSCH resource element (RE) in a downlink subframe based on downlink control information (DCI); and

receiving the PDSCH on the PDSCH RE,

wherein when the DCI is configured according to DCI format 2D, the PDSCH RE is determined according to a PQI parameter set indicated by the DCI among the one or more PQI parameter sets, and

wherein when the DCI is configured according to DCI format 1A, and the downlink subframe is a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe, the PDSCH RE is determined according to a lowest indexed PQI parameter set among the one or more PQI parameter sets.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more PQI parameter sets includes at least one of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) position parameter, a zero-power channel state information-reference signal (ZP CSI-RS) parameter, a PDSCH start symbol parameter, and a non-ZP CSI-RS (NZP CSI-RS) parameter.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the CRS position parameter comprises at least one of number-of-CRS ports information, CRS frequency shift information and MBSFN subframe configuration information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the DCI is configured according to the DCI format 1A and the downlink subframe is a non-MBSFN subframe, the PDSCH RE is determined according to a CRS configuration of a serving cell.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the CRS configuration of the serving cell comprises at least one of a number of CRS ports of the serving cell, CRS frequency shift of the serving cell and an MBSFN subframe configuration of the serving cell.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the DCI is configured according to the DCI format 2D, the PQI parameter set used for determining the PDSCH RE is indicated by a state value of a PQI field of the DCI format 2D.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the DCI format 1A does not include the PQI field.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or an enhanced PDCCH (EPDCCH), the DCI scheduling the PDSCH.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE is configured with a transmission mode 10 (TM10) for a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) operation.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium recorded thereon a program for executing the method of claim 1 .

11. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the UE comprising:

a processor to determine a PDSCH resource element (RE) in a downlink subframe based on downlink control information (DCI); and

a receiver to receive one or more PDSCH resource element and Quasi co-location Indicator (PQI) parameter sets and to receive the PDSCH on the PDSCH RE,

wherein when the DCI is configured according to DCI format 2D, the PDSCH RE is determined according to a PQI parameter set indicated by the DCI among the one or more PQI parameter sets, and

wherein when the DCI is configured according to DCI format 1A, and the downlink subframe is a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe, the PDSCH RE is determined according to a lowest indexed PQI parameter set among the one or more PQI parameter sets.

12. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein each of the one or more PQI parameter sets includes at least one of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) position parameter, a zero-power channel state information-reference signal (ZP CSI-RS) parameter, a PDSCH start symbol parameter, and a non-ZP CSI-RS (NZP CSI-RS) parameter.

13. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the CRS position parameter comprises at least one of number-of-CRS ports information, CRS frequency shift information and MBSFN subframe configuration information.

14. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein when the DCI is configured according to the DCI format 1A and the downlink subframe is a non-MBSFN subframe, the PDSCH RE is determined according to a CRS configuration of a serving cell.

15. The UE according to claim 14 , wherein the CRS configuration of the serving cell comprises at least one of a number of CRS ports of the serving cell, CRS frequency shift of the serving cell and an MBSFN subframe configuration of the serving cell.

16. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein when the DCI is configured according to the DCI format 2D, the PQI parameter set used for determining the PDSCH RE is indicated by a state value of a PQI field of the DCI format 2D.

17. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the DCI format 1A does not include the PQI field.

18. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the receiver receives the DCI scheduling the PDSCH through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or an enhanced PDCCH (EPDCCH).

19. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the UE is configured with a transmission mode 10 (TM10) for a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) operation.
