Abstract

Provided is a method and device for receiving a signal in a wireless communication system to which a multiple-transmission technique is applied. A proposed wireless communication system proposes a method for maximizing packet transmission within a target time in multiple paths. Specifically, a terminal receives, from a first base station, multiple-transmission activation information and control information for transmission of a transmission block. The terminal decodes the multiple-transmission activation information and the control information, and receives the transmission block from the first base station and a second base station. At this time, the multiple-transmission activation information includes a multiple-transmission activation indicator indicating that the first base station and the second base station can transmit the transmission block until a preconfigured time.

Claims (39)

1. A method for receiving a signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system applying a manifold transmission technique, comprising:

receiving manifold transmission activation information and control information for transmitting transport blocks from a first base station; and

decoding the manifold transmission activation information and the control information, and receiving the transport blocks from the first base station and a second base station,

wherein the manifold transmission activation information includes a manifold transmission activation indicator indicating a capability of the first base station and the second base station to transmit the transport blocks until a predetermined time.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving the manifold transmission activation information from the second base station,

wherein the manifold transmission activation information further includes the predetermined time and a number of the transmission blocks.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the manifold transmission activation information is repeatedly received from a same resource, and

wherein the method further comprises:

combining the repeatedly received manifold transmission activation information and decoding the combined information.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the manifold transmission activation information is configured to have a same bit length as the control information.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein manifold transmission activation information received from the first base station and manifold transmission activation information received from the second base station are configured of the same information, and

wherein manifold transmission activation information received from the first base station and manifold transmission activation information received from the second base station are received from the same resource.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

combining transport blocks received from the first base station and the second base station and decoding the combined transport blocks,

wherein the transport blocks received from the first base station and the second base station are transmitted by using a bit length of a mother code being used by the first base station and the second base station, a code rate of the mother code, and a parity bit generation order.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a bit length of the mother code being used by the first base station and the second base station is configured to be the same as the code rate of the mother code, and

wherein the parity bit generation order being used by the first base station and the second base station is determined in accordance with an identifier of the first base station and an identifier of the second base station.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control information includes resource allocation information for transmitting the transport block, a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) level, a multi-antenna transmission method, a New Data Indicator (NDI), and a process identifier (ID).

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the process ID is mapped to the transport blocks being received from the first base station and the second base station,

wherein the process ID information is expired after the predetermined time or in case the NDI is triggered,

wherein, if time still remains before the process ID expires, the transport blocks received from the first base station and the second base station are combined and decoded, and

wherein, if the process ID is already expired, the transport blocks received from the first base station and the second base station are each decoded without being combined, or only the transport block received from the first base station is decoded.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a request for a channel quality value corresponding to a base station group applying the manifold transmission technique from the first base station;

updating the channel quality value corresponding to the base station group and transmitting the updated channel quality value to the first base station; and

receiving identification information of the second base station being selected by the first base station, among the base station group, from the first base station.

11. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a signal in a wireless communication system applying a manifold transmission technique, comprising:

a processor that:

receives manifold transmission activation information and control information for transmitting transport blocks from a first base station, and

decodes the manifold transmission activation information and the control information, and receives the transport blocks from the first base station and a second base station,

wherein the manifold transmission activation information includes a manifold transmission activation indicator indicating a capability of the first base station and the second base station to transmit the transport blocks until a predetermined time.

12. The user equipment of claim 11 , wherein the processor receives the manifold transmission activation information from the second base station, and

wherein the manifold transmission activation information further includes the predetermined time and a number of the transmission blocks.

13. The user equipment of claim 12 , wherein the manifold transmission activation information is repeatedly received from a same resource, and

wherein the processor combines the repeatedly received manifold transmission activation information and decodes the combined information.

14. The user equipment of claim 13 , wherein the manifold transmission activation information is configured to have a same bit length as the control information.

15. The user equipment of claim 13 , wherein manifold transmission activation information received from the first base station and manifold transmission activation information received from the second base station are configured of the same information, and

wherein manifold transmission activation information received from the first base station and manifold transmission activation information received from the second base station are received from the same resource.
