Method for setting interference measurement resource in wireless communication system and apparatus therefor
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for a terminal to perform interference measurement in a wireless communication system. More specifically, the method comprises the steps of: receiving a first interference measurement resource setting and a second interference measurement resource setting for one channel state estimation process (Channel State Information Process); and performing interference measurement on an interference measurement resource based on the first interference measurement resource setting and the second interference measurement resource setting, wherein the first interference measurement resource setting is set for an aggregation of first downlink subframes, in which the use of a wireless resource is set not to be changed by a repurposing message, and the second interference measurement resource setting is set for an aggregation of second downlink subframes, in which the use of the wireless resource is set not to be changed by the repurposing message.
1. A method of measuring interference by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a first interference measurement resource configuration for a first downlink subframe set and a second interference measurement resource configuration for a second downlink subframe set, being used to configure interference measurement resources for one channel state estimation process;
receiving a usage change message for changing a usage of a radio resource;
determining validity of each of the interference measurement resources as valid if each of the interference measurement resources exists in a transient period when the usage of the radio resource is changed from downlink to uplink by the usage change message, or if each of the interference measurement resources exists after the transient period when the usage of the radio resource is changed from uplink to downlink by the usage change message,
wherein the transient period is a period ranging from a timing of receiving the usage change message to a timing of changing the usage of the radio resource by the usage change message; and
measuring interference on one or more of the interference measurement resources if the one or more of the interference measurement resources are determined as valid,
wherein the first downlink subframe set is configured not to change the usage of the radio resource by the usage change message, and
wherein the second downlink subframe set is configured to change the usage of the radio resource by the usage change message.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an interference characteristic of the first downlink subframe set and an interference characteristic of the second downlink subframe set are different from each other.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein when one or more of the interference measurement resources are positioned at the first downlink subframe set and are configured using the first interference measurement resource configuration, the validity of each of the interference measurement resources is determined based on a zero-power channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein when one or more of the interference measurement resources are positioned at the first downlink subframe set and are configured using the second interference measurement resource configuration, the validity of each of the interference measurement resources is determined irrespective of a zero-power channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein when one or more of the interference measurement resources are positioned at the second downlink subframe set and are configured using the first interference measurement resource configuration, the validity of each of the interference measurement resources is determined irrespective of a zero-power channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration.
6. A user equipment for measuring interference in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit; and
a processor configured to:
control the RF unit to receive a first interference measurement resource configuration for a first downlink subframe set and a second interference measurement resource configuration for a second downlink subframe set, indicating interference measurement resources, being used to configure interference measurement resources for one channel state estimation process,
control the RF unit to receive a usage change message for changing a usage of a radio resource,
determine validity of each of the interference measurement resources as valid if each of the interference measurement resources exists in a transient period when the usage of the radio resource is changed from downlink to uplink by the usage change message, or if each of the interference measurement resources exists after the transient period when the usage of the radio resource is changed from uplink to downlink by the usage change message,
wherein the transient period is a period ranging from a timing of receiving the usage change message to a timing of changing the usage of the radio resource by the usage change message, and
measure interference on one or more of the interference measurement resources if the one or more of the interference measurement resources determined as valid,
wherein the first downlink subframe set is configured not to change the usage of the radio resource by the usage change message, and
wherein the second downlink subframe set is configured to change the usage of the radio resource by the usage change message.
7. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein an interference characteristic of the first downlink subframe set and an interference characteristic of the second downlink subframe set are different from each other.
8. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein when one or more of the interference measurement resources are positioned at the first downlink subframe set and are configured using the first interference measurement resource configuration, the validity of each of the interference measurement resources is determined based on a zero-power channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration.
9. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein when one or more of the interference measurement resources are positioned at the first downlink subframe set and are configured using the second interference measurement resource configuration, the validity of each of the interference measurement resources is determined irrespective of a zero-power channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration.
10. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein when one or more of the interference measurement resources are positioned at the second downlink subframe set and are configured using the first interference measurement resource configuration, the validity of each of the interference measurement resources is determined irrespective of a zero-power channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration.
