Abstract

A method for a communication apparatus selectively operating a duplex mode in a wireless communication system may comprise the steps of: operating in a half-duplex radio (HDR) mode in a resource including a physical channel or a signal used for initial access prior to radio resource control (RRC) connection; and operating in a full duplex radio (FDR) mode after the initial access.

Claims (24)

1. A method for selectively operating a duplex mode by a communication device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

operating in an Half Duplex Radio (HDR) mode in a resource containing a physical channel or a signal used for an initial access prior to an Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection; and

operating in a Full Duplex Radio (FDR) mode after the initial access,

wherein the resource contains a resource for receiving a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), and

wherein a prescribed frequency band contiguous to the resource for receiving the PRACH is configured as a band capable of performing downlink transmission only.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource contains a resource for transmitting a Broadcasting Channel (BCH).

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a prescribed frequency band contiguous to the resource for transmitting the BCH is configured as a band capable of performing uplink reception only.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the prescribed frequency band contains a whole of remaining bands except a frequency band corresponding to a center frequency in a total bandwidth.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a resource for receiving a PRACH or a resource for transmitting a BCH is positioned at a frequency band corresponding to a center frequency in a total bandwidth.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prescribed frequency band contains a whole of remaining bands except a frequency band corresponding to a center frequency in a total bandwidth.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource contains a resource for transmitting a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), a Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS), a Physical Control Format Indicator CHannel (PCFICH), a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), or a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).

8. A communication device configured to selectively operate a duplex mode in a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor,

wherein the processor configured to control:

the transceiver to operate in an Half Duplex Radio (HDR) mode in a resource containing a physical channel or a signal used for an initial access prior to an RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection; and

the transceiver to operate in Full Duplex Radio (FDR) mode after the initial access,

wherein the resource contains a resource for receiving a Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH), and

wherein a prescribed frequency band contiguous to the resource for receiving the PRACH is configured as a band capable of performing downlink transmission only.

9. The communication device of claim 8 , wherein the resource contains a resource for transmitting a Broadcasting Channel (BCH).

10. The communication device of claim 9 , wherein a prescribed frequency band contiguous to the resource for transmitting the BCH is configured as a band capable of performing uplink reception only.

11. The communication device of claim 8 , wherein a resource for receiving a PRACH or a resource for transmitting a BCH is positioned at a frequency band corresponding to a center frequency in a total bandwidth.

12. The communication device of claim 8 , wherein the prescribed frequency band contains a whole of remaining bands except a frequency band corresponding to a center frequency in a total bandwidth.

13. The communication device of claim 8 , wherein the resource contains a resource for transmitting a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), a Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS), a Physical Control Format Indicator CHannel (PCFICH), a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), or a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH).
