Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for receiving a reference signal by a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) device for V2V communication in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the present invention comprising the steps of: receiving configuration with respect to one or more reference signals that are shared in a first transmission time interval (TTI) and a second TTI following the first TTI; and receiving the reference signals according to the configuration, wherein the first TTI and the second TTI are composed of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols that are shorter than a subframe, and are configured such that the subframe matches with a symbol boundary.

Claims (24)

1. A method for receiving reference signals (RSs) for vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication by a V2V device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a configuration for the RSs including at least one common RS for a first transmission time interval (TTI) and a second TTI following the first TTI; and

receiving the RSs according to the configuration,

wherein the first TTI and the second TTI are composed of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols smaller than a subframe,

wherein symbol boundaries of the first TTI and the second TTI are configured to match symbol boundaries of the subframe,

wherein a first RS is transmitted in the first TTI, and a second RS and a third RS are transmitted in the second TTI,

wherein the first RS and the second RS are used to perform a channel estimation for the first TTI, and

wherein the second RS and the third RS are used to perform a channel estimation for the second TTI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, at least, a part of an OFDM symbol located at the front of each of the first TTI and the second TTI is configured for automatic gain control (AGC).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein, at least, a part of an OFDM symbol located at the end of each of the first TTI and the second TTI is configured for a timing advance (TA).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein an OFDM symbol next to the at least one common RS is configured to be empty.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a fourth RS is included in the first TTI, and wherein the fourth RS is used to perform a channel estimation for the first TTI and the second TTI.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one common RS is configured to use different sequences for different V2V devices.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one common RS is generated using an identifier of another V2V device that transmits the RSs.

8. A vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) device for receiving reference signals (RSs) for V2V communication in a wireless communication system, the V2V device comprising:

a receiver and transmitter; and

a processor, operatively coupled to the receiver and transmitter, wherein the processor is configured to:

control the receiver to receive a configuration for the RSs including at least one common RS for a first transmission time interval (TTI) and a second TTI following the first TTI; and

control the receiver to receive the RSs according to the configuration,

wherein the first TTI and the second TTI are composed of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols smaller than a subframe, and

wherein symbol boundaries of the first TTI and the second TTI are configured to match symbol boundaries of the subframe,

wherein a first RS is transmitted in the first TTI, and a second RS and a third RS are transmitted in the second TTI,

wherein the first RS and the second RS are used to perform a channel estimation for the first TTI, and

wherein the second RS and the third RS are used to perform a channel estimation for the second TTI.
