Abstract

Disclosed are a TRS receiving method comprising: receiving, from a base station, information indicating that a TRS is transmitted in a subframe; receiving the TRS transmitted in the subframe; and performing tracking by using the TRS, and a terminal performing, in the subframe to which the TRS is transmitted, the demodulation of data or not transmitting an acknowledgement/negative ACK (ACK/NACK) for the data.

Claims (31)

1. A method of receiving a TRS (tracking reference signal), which is received by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a first TRS transmitted in a first subframe, wherein the first TRS is a DRS (discovery reference signal);

receiving downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a data channel transmitted in a second subframe,

wherein the DCI further indicates that a second TRS is transmitted in the second subframe;

receiving the second TRS transmitted in the second subframe based on the DCI;

determining a TRS requirement being met,

wherein the TRS requirement is determined to be met when a number of the first TRS received during a specific duration is equal to or more than a prescribed number, and

wherein the scheduled data channel transmitted in the second subframe is not demodulated or an ACK/NACK (acknowledgment/negative ACK) for the scheduled data channel is not transmitted when the TRS requirement is determined not to be met; and

performing tracking using the first TRS,

wherein the performing tracking further uses the second TRS when the TRS requirement is determined not to be met.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second TRS includes a DMRS (demodulation reference signal), a CRS (cell-specific reference signal), a CSI-RS (channel state information reference signal) and a downlink transmission preamble transmitted.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI comprises a UE-specifically transmitted DCI or an RNTI (radio network temporary identifier) commonly assigned to UE connected with the base station.

4. The method of claim 1 , when the TRS requirement is not met, further comprising requesting of TRS transmission to the base station.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the TRS requirement is not met, the first subframe comprises a secondary DMTC (discovery measurement timing configuration) configured with a period shorter than a period of a primary DMTC.

6. A user equipment (UE) receiving a TRS (tracking reference signal) in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the user equipment comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

a processor configured to operate in a manner of being connected with the transmitter and the receiver,

the processor receives, from a base station, a first TRS transmitted in a first subframe, wherein the first TRS is a DRS (discovery reference signal),

the processor receives downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a data channel transmitted in a second subframe,

wherein the DCI further indicates that a second TRS is transmitted in the second subframe,

the processor receives the second TRS transmitted in the second subframe based on the DCI;

the processor determines a TRS requirement being met,

wherein the TRS requirement is determined to be met when a number of the first TRS received during a specific duration is equal to or more than a prescribed number, and

wherein the scheduled data channel transmitted in the second subframe is not demodulated or an ACK/NACK (acknowledgment/negative ACK) for the scheduled data channel is not transmitted when the TRS requirement is determined not to be met; and

the processor performs tracking using the first TRS,

wherein the performing tracking further uses the second TRS when the TRS requirement is determined not to be met.

7. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the second TRS includes a DMRS (demodulation reference signal), a CRS (cell-specific reference signal), a CSI-RS (channel state information reference signal) and a downlink transmission preamble transmitted.

8. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the DCI comprises a UE-specifically transmitted DCI or an RNTI (radio network temporary identifier) commonly assigned to UE connected with the base station.

9. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein when the TRS requirement is not met, further comprising requesting of TRS transmission to the base station.

10. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein when the TRS requirement is not met, the first subframe comprises a secondary DMTC (discovery measurement timing configuration) configured with a period shorter than a period of a primary DMTC.
