Abstract

A method for transmitting an uplink signal in an unlicensed band by a terminal is provided. The terminal receives first scheduling information that schedules one or more uplink subframes, from a base station in a first downlink subframe. The terminal receives second scheduling information that determines a transmission time point of the uplink signal, from the base station in a second downlink subframe after the first downlink subframe. The terminal transmits the uplink signal in a first uplink subframe corresponding to the transmission time point among the one or more uplink subframes.

Claims (18)

1. A method for transmitting an uplink signal in an unlicensed band by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving first scheduling information in a first downlink subframe and second scheduling information in a second downlink subframe that follows the first downlink subframe, wherein the first scheduling information indicates a number of at least one scheduled uplink subframe and the second scheduling information indicates a start uplink subframe of the at least one scheduled uplink subframe; and

transmitting the uplink signal from the start uplink subframe to a last uplink subframe that is determined by the number of the at least one scheduled uplink subframe based on indications of the first scheduling information and the second scheduling information,

wherein the first scheduling information further includes information indicating a second to last symbol as an ending symbol of the last uplink subframe and information indicating subframe duration within which the second scheduling information is valid, and the first scheduling information further includes at least one field for each of a new data indication (NDI), a redundancy version, a modulation and coding scheme, resource block assignment, and a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) number.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first scheduling information further includes third scheduling information for triggering a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first scheduling information further includes a starting location in the start uplink subframe at which the uplink signal begins to be transmitted.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the starting location is a second symbol in the start uplink subframe.

5. A terminal for transmitting an uplink signal in an unlicensed band, the terminal comprising:

a processor;

a memory; and

a transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to execute a program stored in the memory to perform:

receiving, through the transceiver, first scheduling information in a first downlink subframe and second scheduling information in a second downlink subframe that is different from the first downlink subframe, wherein the first scheduling information indicates a number of at least one scheduled uplink subframe and the second scheduling information indicates a start uplink subframe of the at least one scheduled uplink subframe; and

transmitting the uplink signal through the transceiver from the start uplink subframe to a last uplink subframe which is determined by the number of the at least one scheduled uplink subframe based on indications of the first scheduling information and the second scheduling information, and

wherein the first scheduling information further includes information indicating a second to last symbol as an ending symbol of the last uplink subframe and information indicating subframe duration within which the second scheduling information is valid, and the first scheduling information further includes at least one field for each of a new data indication (NDI), a redundancy version, a modulation and coding scheme, resource block assignment, and a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) number.

6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the first scheduling information further includes third scheduling information for triggering a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission.

7. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the first scheduling information further includes a starting location in the start uplink subframe at which the uplink signal begins to be transmitted.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the starting location is a second symbol in the start uplink subframe.
