Abstract

A method of receiving Downlink (DL) data by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method includes: receiving information related to a number of repetitions of the DL data which is repeatedly transmitted in (i) at least one first Transmission Time Interval (TTI) included in a first subframe, and in (ii) at least one second TTI included in a second subframe that is after the first subframe; and receiving the DL data based on the number of repetitions of the DL data. If a Transmission Mode (TM) for the first subframe is different from a TM for the second subframe, then the UE does not receive the DL data in the at least one second TTI.

Claims (38)

1. A method of receiving Downlink (DL) data by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information related to a number of repetitions of the DL data, wherein the DL data is repeatedly transmitted over a plurality of transmission time intervals (TTIs); and

receiving the DL data based on the number of repetitions of the DL data,

wherein, based on a Transmission Mode (TM) for a first subframe, which includes a first TTI of the plurality of TTIs, being different from a TM for a second subframe, the DL data is not received in at least one second TTI included in the second subframe, the second TTI following the first TTI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first subframe and the second subframe are consecutive in time.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein any one of the first subframe and the second subframe is a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe, and

wherein the other one of the first subframe and the second subframe is a non-MBSFN subframe.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a Common Reference Signal (CRS)-based TM is configured for any one of the first subframe and the second subframe, and

wherein a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS)-based TM is configured for the other one of the first subframe and the second subframe.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the number of repetitions of the DL data is included in Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI)-based Downlink Control Information (DCI).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first TTI and the at least one second TTI are short TTIs.

7. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving information related to a number of repetitions of downlink (DL) data , wherein the DL data is repeatedly transmitted over a plurality of transmission time intervals (TTIs), and

receiving the DL data based on the number of repetitions of the DL data,

wherein, based on a Transmission Mode (TM) for a first subframe, which includes a first TTI of the plurality of TTIs, being different from a TM for a second subframe, the DL data is not received in at least one second TTI included in the second subframe, the second TTI following the first TTI.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the first subframe and the second subframe are consecutive in time.

9. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein any one of the first subframe and the second subframe is a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframe, and

wherein the other one of the first subframe and the second subframe is a non-MBSFN subframe.

10. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a Common Reference Signal (CRS)-based TM is configured for any one of the first subframe and the second subframe, and

wherein a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS)-based TM is configured for the other one of the first subframe and the second subframe.

11. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the information related to the number of repetitions of the DL data is included in Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI)-based Downlink Control Information (DCI).

12. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the at least one first TTI and the at least one second TTI are short TTIs.

13. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the apparatus comprises a User Equipment (UE) configured to receive the DL data in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising at least one transceiver, the at least one processor, and the at least one computer memory,

wherein receiving the information related to the number of repetitions of the DL data comprises receiving, through the at least one transceiver, the information related to the number of repetitions of the DL data, and

wherein receiving the DL data comprises receiving, through the at least one transceiver, the DL data based on the number of repetitions of the DL data.

14. A method of transmitting Downlink (DL) data by a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting information related to a number of repetitions of the DL data, wherein the DL data is repeatedly transmitted over a plurality of transmission time intervals (TTIs); and

transmitting the DL data based on the number of repetitions of the DL data,

wherein, based on a Transmission Mode (TM) for a first subframe, which includes a first TTI of the plurality of TTIs, being different from a TM for a second subframe, the DL data is not transmitted in the at least one second TTI included in the second subframe, the second TTI following the first TTI.

15. A Base Station (BS) configured to transmit Downlink (DL) data in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

transmitting, through the at least one transceiver, information related to a number of repetitions of the DL data, wherein the DL data is repeatedly transmitted over a plurality of transmission time intervals (TTIs); and

transmitting, through the at least one transceiver, the DL data based on the number of repetitions of the DL data,

wherein, based on a Transmission Mode (TM) for a first subframe, which includes a first TTI of the plurality of TTIs, being different from a TM for a second subframe, the DL data is not transmitted in the at least one second TTI included in the second subframe, the second TTI following the first TTI.
