Abstract

Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for transceiving a channel related to a terminal that supports half duplex transmission in a mobile communication system. The terminal receives scheduling information on multi-carriers having different TDD configurations from a base station, determines whether to receive a downlink channel for a plurality of different subframes of each multi-carrier including at least one special subframe, and transceives a channel to/from the base station depending on whether the downlink channel is received or not.

Claims (42)

1. A method to receive data by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving first time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink configuration information for a first cell and second TDD uplink-downlink configuration information for a second cell;

determining whether a subframe in the first cell is a special subframe and a same subframe in the second cell is a downlink subframe according to the first and second TDD uplink-downlink configuration information; and

determining not to receive at least one of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH), physical multicast channel (PMCH) or positioning reference signal (PRS) in the second cell in the same subframe, in case that the subframe in the first cell is the special subframe and the same subframe in the second cell is the downlink subframe,

wherein the special subframe includes downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS), uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS), and guard period (GP).

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining not to receive any other signals on the second cell in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols that overlap with the GP or the UpPTS in the first cell, in case that the subframe in the first cell is the special subframe and the same subframe in the second cell is the downlink subframe.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subframe in the first cell comprises a subframe number 6, and the same subframe in the second cell phone comprises a subframe number 6.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first TDD uplink-downlink configuration information comprises at least one of uplink-downlink configuration number 0, 1, 2 or 6.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second TDD uplink-downlink configuration information comprises at least one of uplink-downlink configuration number 3, 4 or 5.

6. A method for receiving data by a user equipment (UE) operating in a half-duplex mode in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving first time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink configuration information for a first cell and second TDD uplink-downlink configuration information for a second cell;

determining whether a subframe in the first cell is a special subframe and a same subframe in the second cell is a downlink subframe according to the first and second TDD uplink-downlink configuration information; and

determining not to process at least one of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH), physical multicast channel (PMCH) or positioning reference signal (PRS) in the second cell in the same subframe, in case that the subframe in the first cell is the special subframe and the same subframe in the second cell is the downlink subframe,

wherein the special subframe includes downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS), uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS), and guard period (GP).

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

determining, not to process any other signals on the second cell in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols that overlap with the GP or the UpPTS in the first cell, in case that the subframe in the first cell is the special subframe and the same subframe in the second cell is the downlink subframe.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the subframe in the first cell comprises a subframe number 6, and the same subframe in the second cell comprises a subframe number 6.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first TDD uplink-downlink configuration information comprises at least one of uplink-downlink configuration number 0, 1, 2 or 6.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second TDD uplink-downlink configuration information comprises at least one of uplink-downlink configuration number 3, 4 or 5.

11. A user equipment (UE) operating in a half-duplex mode for receiving data in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and

a controller configured to:

receive first time division duplex (TDD) uplink-downlink configuration information for a first cell and second TDD uplink-downlink configuration information for a second cell,

determine whether a subframe in the first cell is a special subframe and a same subframe in the second cell is a downlink subframe according to the first and second TDD uplink-downlink configuration information, and

determine not to receive at least one of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH), physical multicast channel (PMCH) or positioning reference signal (PRS) in the second cell in the same subframe, in case that the subframe in the first cell is the special subframe and the same subframe in the second cell is the downlink subframe,

wherein the special subframe includes downlink pilot time slot (DwPTS), uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS), and guard period (GP).

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine not to receive any other signals on the second cell in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols that overlap with the GP or the UpPTS in the first cell, in case that the subframe in the first cell is the special subframe and the same subframe in the second cell is the downlink subframe.

13. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the subframe in the first cell comprises a subframe number 6, and the same subframe in the second cell comprises a subframe number 6.

14. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the first TDD uplink-downlink configuration information comprises at least one of uplink-downlink configuration number 0, 1, 2 or 6.

15. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the second TDD uplink-downlink configuration information comprises at least one of uplink-downlink configuration number 3, 4 or 5.

16. A user equipment (UE) operating in a half-duplex mode for receiving data in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and
