Abstract

A method and an apparatus for allocating uplink resources includes transmitting an uplink grant (UL Grant) for an unlicensed component carrier (UCC) to a plurality of terminals, wherein the UL Grant for a first terminal among the plurality of terminals includes a resource allocation information in which a transmission timing of the uplink data of a second terminal among the plurality of terminals is considered.

Claims (13)

1. A method for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving uplink resource information from a base station for an unlicensed band; and

transmitting the PUSCH by using a partial unit duration belonging to an uplink resource of the unlicensed band corresponding to the uplink resource information, the partial unit duration including fewer symbols than a full unit duration,

wherein the uplink resource information indicates an ending symbol of the partial unit duration carrying the PUSCH.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein: the partial unit duration includes the resources of the DM-RS when the partial unit duration has at least predetermined number of symbols.

3. A terminal for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), the terminal comprising:

a processor, a memory, and a radio frequency (RF) unit,

wherein the processor executes a program stored in the memory to perform:

receiving, by using the RF unit, uplink resource information from a base station for an unlicensed band; and

transmitting, by using the RF unit, the PUSCH by using a partial unit duration belonging to an uplink resource of the unlicensed band corresponding to the uplink resource information,

wherein the uplink resource information indicates an ending symbol of the partial unit duration carrying the PUSCH, and the partial unit duration including fewer symbols than a full unit duration.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein: the partial unit duration includes resources of a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) used of the PUSCH.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein: the partial unit duration includes the resources of the DM-RS when the partial unit duration has at least predetermined number of symbols.
