Abstract

A method for a terminal performing communication by using a time division duplex (TDD) structure in a wireless communication system comprises the step of performing communication by using a terminal-specific dynamic TDD frame, wherein the terminal-specific dynamic TDD frame comprises a first terminal-common subframe interval and a first terminal-specific subframe interval, wherein the first terminal-common subframe interval corresponds to a subframe interval that is commonly configured for terminals in the wireless communication system or terminals in a cell in which the terminal is included, and the first terminal-specific subframe interval may be formed of the first subframe an the second subframe in the terminal-specific TDD frame.

Claims (22)

1. A method for performing communication using a Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame structure by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

performing communication using a UE-specific dynamic TDD frame,

wherein the UE-specific dynamic TDD frame includes a first UE-common subframe interval and a first UE-specific subframe interval,

wherein the first UE-common subframe interval corresponds to a subframe interval that is commonly configured in either UEs contained in the wireless communication system or UEs contained in a cell having the UE,

wherein a starting subframe of the UE-specific dynamic TDD frame is a subframe of the first UE-common subframe interval,

wherein the first UE-common subframe interval includes two subframes in the UE-specific dynamic TDD frame,

wherein when a starting subframe of the two subframes is a downlink (DL) subframe, a next subframe of the two subframes is a special subframe, and a starting subframe of the first UE-specific subframe interval is a uplink (UL) subframe, and

wherein when a starting subframe of the two subframes is a special subframe, a next subframe of the two subframes is a UL subframe, and a starting subframe of the first UE-specific subframe interval is either the UL subframe or the DL subframe.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE-specific dynamic TDD frame further includes a second UE-common subframe interval and a second UE-specific subframe interval.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first UE-common subframe interval, the first UE-specific subframe interval, the second UE-common subframe interval, and the second UE-specific subframe interval are configured sequentially in UE-specific dynamic TDD frame.

4. A user equipment (UE) for performing communication using a Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame structure in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor,

wherein the processor controls the transceiver to perform communication using a UE-specific dynamic TDD frame,

wherein the UE-specific dynamic TDD frame includes a first UE-common subframe interval and a first UE-specific subframe interval,

wherein the first UE-common subframe interval corresponds to a subframe interval that is commonly configured in either UEs contained in the wireless communication system or UEs contained in a cell having the UE,

wherein a starting subframe of the UE-specific dynamic TDD frame is a subframe of the first UE-common subframe interval,

wherein the first UE-common subframe interval includes two subframes in the UE-specific dynamic TDD frame,

wherein when a starting subframe of the two subframes is a downlink (DL) subframe, a next subframe of the two subframes is a special subframe, and a starting subframe of the first UE-specific subframe interval is a uplink (UL) subframe, and

wherein when a starting subframe of the two subframes is a special subframe, a next subframe of the two subframes is a UL subframe, and a starting subframe of the first UE-specific subframe interval is either the UL subframe or the DL subframe.

5. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the UE-specific dynamic TDD frame further includes a second UE-common subframe interval and a second UE-specific subframe interval.

6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the first UE-common subframe interval, the first UE-specific subframe interval, the second UE-common subframe interval, and the second UE-specific subframe interval are configured sequentially in UE-specific dynamic TDD frame.
