Abstract

A method and an apparatus for transmitting a resource, and a method for the HARQ retransmission using an unlicensed band include an operation of performing clear channel assessment (CCA) for the unlicensed band; and an operation of occupying a channel of the unlicensed band according to the CCA and determining whether or not the resource is transmitted based on a position of a transmission time interval (TTI) within a channel occupancy time (COT) for the channel.

Claims (13)

1. A terminal capable of measuring a channel in an unlicensed band of a wireless communication system, comprising:

a processor, a memory, and a radio frequency unit, wherein the processor executes a program stored in the memory to perform steps of:

receiving configuration information for a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), wherein the configuration information configures CSI-RS subframes in which the CSI-RS is transmitted; and

receiving the CSI-RS through the CSI-RS subframes based on the configuration information,

wherein the CSI-RS is not transmitted in a subframe in which a synchronization signal overlaps with a symbol where the CSI-RS is configured even though the subframe belongs to the CSI-RS subframes.

2. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the processor executes the program to further performs a step of measuring a state of the channel based on the CSI-RS.

3. The terminal of claim 2 , wherein the step of measuring includes measuring interference from another system when a resource for the CSI-RS is a zero-power (ZP) CSI-RS resource.

4. The terminal of claim 2 , wherein a resource for the CSI-RS is a non zero-power (NZP) CSI-RS resource.

5. The terminal of claim 2 , wherein the step of measuring includes measuring interference for the channel when a resource for the CSI-RS is a channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource.

6. A method for transmitting a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) to a terminal capable of measuring a channel in an unlicensed band of a wireless communication system, comprising:

transmitting configuration information for the CSI-RS, wherein the configuration information configures CSI-RS subframes in which the CSI-RS is transmitted; and

transmitting the CSI-RS through the CSI-RS subframes based on the configuration information,

wherein the CSI-RS is not transmitted in a subframe hi which a synchronization signal overlaps with an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol for the CSI-RS even though the subframe belongs to the CSI-RS subframes in a channel occupancy time (COT) for the unlicensed band.
