Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting and receiving data and control information in a wireless communication system. A method performed by a terminal includes identifying a first idle subband and a second idle subband in an unlicensed band, wherein the first idle subband and the second idle subband are consecutive; and transmitting, to a base station, an uplink signal including uplink control information in at least one of the first idle subband and the idle second subband The uplink control information includes information indicating whether a guard band between the first idle subband and the second idle subband is used for uplink transmission. The uplink signal is decoded based on the uplink control information.

Claims (45)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying a first idle subband and a second idle subband in an unlicensed band, wherein the first idle subband and the second idle subband are consecutive; and

transmitting, to a base station, an uplink signal including uplink control information in at least one of the first idle subband and the second idle subband,

wherein the uplink control information includes information indicating whether a guard band between the first idle subband and the second idle subband is used for an uplink transmission, and

wherein the uplink signal is decoded based on the uplink control information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the guard band includes a first guard band in the first idle subband and a second guard band adjacent to the first guard band in the second idle subband, and

wherein the first guard band protects a listen before talk (LBT) procedure performed on the second idle subband and the second guard band protects the LBT procedure performed on the first idle subband.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink control information is transmitted in one of the first idle subband and the second idle subband.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink control information is not transmitted in the guard band.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink control information includes information of the first idle subband and the second idle subband.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the uplink control information includes first uplink control information and second uplink control information, and

wherein the second uplink control information includes the information of the first idle subband and the second idle subband.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein resources that are used for transmitting the second uplink control information are indicated by the base station.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first uplink control information includes information that resources used for transmitting the second uplink control information are indicated by the first uplink control information.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the first idle subband and the second idle subband in an unlicensed band comprises performing a listen before talk (LBT) procedure on each of a plurality of subbands in the unlicensed band; and

identifying the first idle subband and the second idle subband based on a result of performing the LBT procedure.

10. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a terminal, an uplink signal including uplink control information in at least one of a first subband and a second subband in an unlicensed band, wherein the first subband and the second subband are consecutive; and

decoding the uplink signal based on the uplink control information,

wherein the first subband and the second subband are included in idle subbands identified by the terminal in the unlicensed band, and

wherein the uplink control information includes information indicating whether a guard band between the first subband and the second subband is used for uplink transmission.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the guard band includes a first guard band in the first subband and a second guard band adjacent to the first guard band in the second subband, and

wherein the first guard band protects a listen before talk (LBT) procedure performed on the second subband and the second guard band protects the LBT procedure performed on the first subband and the first guard band.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the uplink control information is transmitted in one of the first subband and the second subband.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the uplink control information is not transmitted in the guard band.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the uplink control information includes information of the identified idle subbands.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the uplink control information includes first uplink control information and second uplink control information, and

wherein the second uplink control information includes the information of the identified idle subbands.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein resources that are used for transmitting the second uplink control information are indicated by the base station.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first uplink control information includes information that resources used for transmitting the second uplink control information are indicated by the first uplink control information.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first subband and the second subband are identified by the terminal as the idle subbands based on a result of performing a listen before talk (LBT) procedure on each of a plurality of subbands in the unlicensed band.

19. A terminal, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

identify a first idle subband and a second idle subband in an unlicensed band, wherein the first idle subband and the second idle subband are consecutive; and

transmit, to a base station, via the transceiver, an uplink signal including uplink control information in at least one of the first idle subband and the second idle subband,

wherein the uplink control information includes information indicating whether a guard band between the first idle subband and the second idle subband is used for uplink transmission, and

wherein the uplink signal is decoded based on the uplink control information.

20. A base station, comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

receive, from a terminal, via the transceiver, an uplink signal including uplink control information in at least one of a first subband and a second subband in an unlicensed band, wherein the first subband and the second subband are consecutive; and

decode the uplink signal based on the uplink control information,

wherein the first subband and the second subband are included in idle subbands identified by the terminal in the unlicensed band, and

wherein the uplink control information includes information indicating whether a guard band between the first subband and the second subband is used for uplink transmission.
