Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for converging a 5G communication system, which is provided to support a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4G system with an IoT technology, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to an intelligent service (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related service, etc.) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. The present disclosure relates to an efficient method and device for uplink communication in a narrow band system which provides an IoT service in a band for a broadband system, and a method for uplink communication in a narrow band system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises the steps of: receiving, by a terminal, control information associated with uplink transmission of symbols from a base station; and performing, by the terminal, the uplink transmission using symbols except a second symbol overlapping with a first symbol for transmission of an uplink reference signal in a broadband system, on the basis of the control information.

Claims (34)

1. A method of a user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), a message including information indicating whether the UE uses symbols used for a NarrowBand (NB)-Internet of Things (IoT) system for a uplink (UL) data channel transmission or the UE punctures the UL data channel transmission in at least one symbol used for the NB-IoT system overlapping with reference signal (RS); and

transmitting the symbols, or puncturing the UL data channel transmission in the at least one symbol based on the information,

wherein the UL data channel transmission is for the NB-IoT system, the RS is for a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) system and a demodulation RS for the NB-IoT system is transmitted through a symbol, and the symbol does not overlap with the RS for the LTE system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RS is a sounding reference signal (SRS).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first resource for the at least one symbol is counted in resource mapping for the UL data channel transmission, and the first resource is not used for the UL data channel transmission.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UL data channel is a narrowband physical uplink shared channel (NPUSCH).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a gap period is set based on a predefined cyclic prefix length.

6. A user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one processor; and

a transceiver connected to the at least one processor and configured to:

receive, from a base station (BS), a message including information indicating whether the UE uses symbols used for a NarrowBand (NB)-Internet of Things (IoT) system for a uplink (UL) data channel transmission or the UE punctures the UL data channel transmission in at least one symbol used for the NB-IoT system overlapping with reference signal (RS), and

transmit the symbols, or puncture the UL data channel transmission in the at least one symbol based on the information,

wherein the UL data channel transmission is for the NB-IoT system, the RS is for a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) system and a demodulation RS for the NB-IoT system is transmitted through a symbol, and the symbol does not overlap with the RS for the LTE system.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the RS is a sounding reference signal (SRS).

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein a first resource for the at least one symbol is counted in resource mapping for the UL data channel transmission, and the first resource is not used for the UL data channel transmission.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the UL data channel is a narrowband physical uplink shared channel (NPUSCH).

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein a gap period is set based on a predefined cyclic prefix length.

11. A method of a base station (BS) in a communication system, the method comprising:

generating a message including information indicating whether a user equipment (UE) uses symbols used for a NarrowBand (NB)-Internet of Things (IoT) system for a uplink (UL) data channel transmission or the UE punctures the UL data channel transmission in at least one symbol used for the NB-IoT system overlapping with reference signal (RS); and

transmitting the message,

wherein the UL data channel transmission is for the NB-IoT system, the RS is for a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) system and a demodulation RS for the NB-IoT system is transmitted through a symbol, and the symbol does not overlap with the RS for the LTE system.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the RS is a sounding reference signal (SRS).

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein a first resource for the at least one symbol is counted in resource mapping for the UL data channel transmission, and the first resource is not used for the UL data channel transmission.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the UL data channel is a narrowband physical uplink shared channel (NPUSCH).

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein a gap period is set based on a predefined cyclic prefix length.

16. A base station (BS) in a communication system, the BS comprising:

at least one processor configured to generate a message including information indicating whether a user equipment (UE) uses symbols used for a NarrowBand (NB)-Internet of Things (IoT) system for a uplink (UL) data channel transmission or the UE punctures the UL data channel transmission in at least one symbol used for the NB-IoT system overlapping with reference signal (RS); and

a transceiver configured to transmit the message,

wherein the UL data channel transmission is for the NB-IoT system, the RS is for a Long-Term Evolution (LTE) system and a demodulation RS for the NB-IoT system is transmitted through a symbol, and the symbol does not overlap with the RS for the LTE system.

17. The BS of claim 16 , wherein the RS is a sounding reference signal (SRS).

18. The BS of claim 16 , wherein a first resource for the at least one symbol is counted in resource mapping for the UL data channel transmission, and the first resource is not used for the UL data channel transmission.

19. The BS of claim 16 , wherein the UL data channel is a narrowband physical uplink shared channel (NPUSCH).

20. The BS of claim 16 , wherein a gap period is set based on a predefined cyclic prefix length.
