Abstract

The present invention provides a method for transmitting or receiving an uplink signal between a base station and a terminal in a licensed assisted access (LAA) system in which a base station or a terminal performs listen-before-talk (LBT)-based signal transmission, and a device for supporting the same. Particularly, the present invention provides a method for transmitting an uplink signal by a base station and a terminal according to a scheduling type, which the base station indicates to the terminal, and a device for supporting the same.

Claims (36)

1. A method of transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) from a user equipment (UE) to a base station in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the method comprising:

receiving from the base station, resource information indicating an interlace resource for transmitting the SRS; and

based on a result of Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) with respect to the unlicensed band, transmitting the SRS in the interlace resource indicated by the resource information through the unlicensed band,

wherein when the SRS corresponds to a periodic SRS, the UE transmits the SRS in an interlace resource determined according to a specific pattern in following SRS periodicity, based on the interlace resource indicated by the resource information, and

wherein the UE transmits the SRS in an interlace resource determined by a Bit Reverse Order (BRO) interleaving method in the following SRS periodicity, based on the interlace resource indicated by the resource information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the resource information comprises:

receiving from the base station, candidate set information indicating candidates with respect to a plurality of interlace resources for transmitting the SRS via a higher layer signaling; and

receiving from the base station, interlace resource information indicating one interlace resource among the plurality of the interlace resources via a downlink control information (DCI).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SRS, transmitted in the interlace resource indicated by the resource information, is transmitted on a SRS symbol in a time domain.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE further transmits a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) signal through the unlicensed band in the resources that the SRS is not transmitted, based on the result of LBT with respect to the unlicensed band.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein one interlace resource corresponds to a plurality of resource blocks (RBs) spaced by a unit of 10 RBs in a frequency domain.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein when entire bandwidth corresponds to 100 RBs, the one interlace resource corresponds to 10 RBs spaced by the unit of 10 RBs among the entire bandwidth in the frequency domain.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein when 4 transmission combs are supported with respect to the SRS, the SRS is composed of a Zadoff-Chu sequence having 30 lengths.

8. A method of receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) from a user equipment (UE) by a base station in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the method comprising:

transmitting to the UE, resource information indicating an interlace resource for transmitting the SRS; and

based on a result of Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) with respect to the unlicensed band, receiving the SRS in the interlace resource indicated by the resource information through the unlicensed band,

wherein when the SRS corresponds to a periodic SRS, the UE transmits the SRS in an interlace resource determined according to a specific pattern in following SRS periodicity, based on the interlace resource indicated by the resource information, and

wherein the UE transmits the SRS in an interlace resource determined by a Bit Reverse Order (BRO) interleaving method in the following SRS periodicity, based on the interlace resource indicated by the resource information.

9. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) to a base station in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the UE comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a processor connected to the receiver and the transmitter to operate,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive from the base station, resource information indicating an interlace resource for transmitting the SRS; and

based on a result of Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) with respect to the unlicensed band, transmit the SRS in the interlace resource indicated by the resource information through the unlicensed band,

wherein when the SRS corresponds to a periodic SRS, the UE transmits the SRS in an interlace resource determined according to a specific pattern in following SRS periodicity, based on the interlace resource indicated by the resource information, and

wherein the UE transmits the SRS in an interlace resource determined by a Bit Reverse Order (BRO) interleaving method in the following SRS periodicity, based on the interlace resource indicated by the resource information.

10. A base station for receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) from a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the base station comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a processor connected to the receiver and the transmitter to operate,

wherein the processor is configured to:

transmit to the UE, resource information indicating an interlace resource for transmitting the SRS; and

based on a result of Listen-Before-Talk (LBT) with respect to the unlicensed band, receive the SRS in the interlace resource indicated by the resource information through the unlicensed band,

wherein when the SRS corresponds to a periodic SRS, the UE transmits the SRS in an interlace resource determined according to a specific pattern in following SRS periodicity, based on the interlace resource indicated by the resource information, and

wherein the UE transmits the SRS in an interlace resource determined by a Bit Reverse Order (BRO) interleaving method in the following SRS periodicity, based on the interlace resource indicated by the resource information.
