Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for receiving, by a terminal, a signal by using a network-assisted interference cancellation and suppression (NAICS) in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: transmitting terminal capability information including information on an interference transmission mode (TM) supported by the terminal; receiving network assistance information corresponding to the terminal capability information; and receiving a signal by using the network assistance information, wherein the terminal capability information can include port number information about a number of common reference signal (CRS) ports of an interfering cell on which the terminal can perform NAICS.

Claims (20)

1. A method for receiving a signal from a serving cell by using network-assisted interference cancellation and suppression (NAICS) in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising;

transmitting UE capability information to the serving cell including information related to interference transmission modes (TMs) supported by the UE in carrier aggregation;

receiving network assistance information corresponding to the UE capability information from the serving cell; and

receiving the signal from the serving cell on a predetermined frequency resource region, the signal received using the received network assistance information based on an assumption that an interference TM of the interference cell is same as a TM of the serving cell,

wherein the transmitted UE capability information further includes port number information related to a number of common reference signal (CRS) ports in an interference cell for which the UE is capable of performing NAICS.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the number of CRS ports is determined to be 2.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the port number information indicates the number of CRS ports in the interference cell.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reception of the network assistance information indicates that the interference TM of the interference cell is included in the interference TMs supported by the UE.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the received network assistance information is used only to perform NAICS.

6. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a signal from a serving cell using network-assisted interference cancellation and suppression (NAICS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising;

a radio frequency (RF) unit that transmits and receives signals; and

a processor that:

transmits UE capability information to the serving cell including information related to interference transmission modes (TMs) supported by the UE in carrier aggregation;

receives network assistance information corresponding to the UE capability information from the serving cell; and

receives the signal from the serving cell on a predetermined frequency resource region, the signal received using the received network assistance information based on an assumption that an interference TM of the interference cell is same as a TM of the serving cell,

wherein the transmitted UE capability information further includes port number information related to a number of common reference signal (CRS) ports in an interference cell for which the UE is capable of performing NAICS.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the number of CRS ports in the interference cell is determined to be 2.

8. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the port number information indicates the number of CRS ports in the interference cell.

9. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the reception of the network assistance information indicates that the interference TM of the interference cell is included in the interference TMs supported by the UE.

10. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the received network assistance information is used only to perform NAICS.
