Abstract

A method for receiving a downlink signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system includes the steps of: receiving, from a base station, a reference point of a system band and information on an operation band of the terminal corresponding to a part of the system band; determining a reference signal sequence for the operation band of the terminal with reference to the reference point of the system band; and receiving a downlink signal in the operation band of the terminal on the basis of the determined reference signal sequence, wherein the information on the operation band of the terminal includes an offset between the operation band of the terminal and the reference point of the system band. The UE is capable of communicating with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station or a network.

Claims (43)

1. A method of receiving a downlink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a reference signal in two symbols;

receiving information on a reference point of a system band and an operating band of the UE corresponding to a part of the system band from a base station;

determining a sequence of the reference signal for the operating band of the UE with respect to the reference point of the system band; and

receiving the downlink signal in the operating band of the UE based on the sequence of the reference signal,

wherein the information on the operating band of the UE comprises an offset between the operating band of the UE and the reference point of the system band,

wherein the reference signal transmitted in the operating band of the UE is measured by using the sequence of the reference signal,

wherein the reference signal is transmitted on a resource where a common search space is configured for the UE,

wherein, based on the reference signal being transmitted on the two symbols through the system band, a same precoding is applied to the same antenna port in the operating band of the UE, and

wherein port patterns of the reference signal applied to each of the two symbols are different.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reference point of the system band is a starting point of the system band.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequence of the reference signal is a partial sequence of a predetermined sequence applied to the entirety of the system band, and wherein the partial sequence is for the operating band of the UE.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining sequence of the reference signal comprises determining, by the UE, a part of the predetermined sequence generated with respect to the reference point as the partial sequence, and wherein the part of the predetermined sequence corresponds to the operating band of the UE specified by the offset.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information on the reference point of the system band and the operating band of the UE is received through higher layer signaling.

6. A method of transmitting a downlink signal by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a reference signal in two symbols;

transmitting, to the UE, information on a reference point of a system band and an operating band of the UE corresponding to a part of the system band;

determining a sequence the reference signal for the operating band of the UE with respect to the reference point of the system band; and

transmitting the downlink signal in the operating band of the UE based on the sequence of the reference signal,

wherein the information on the operating band of the UE comprises an offset between the operating band of the UE and the reference point of the system band,

wherein the reference signal is transmitted on a resource where a common search space is configured for the UE,

wherein, based on the reference signal being transmitted on the two symbols through the system band, a same precoding is applied to the same antenna port in the operating band of the UE, and

wherein port patterns of the reference signal applied to each of the two symbols are different.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the reference point of the system band is a starting point of the system band.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the sequence of the reference signal is a partial sequence of a predetermined sequence applied to the entirety of the system band, and wherein the partial sequence is for the operating band of the UE.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the information on the reference point of the system band and the operating band of the UE is transmitted through higher layer signaling.

10. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiver; and

a processor configured to:

receive a reference signal in two symbols;

receive information on a reference point of a system band and an operating band of the UE corresponding to a part of the system band from a base station through the receiver;

determine a sequence of the reference signal for the operating band of the UE with respect to the reference point of the system band; and

receive the downlink signal in the operating band of the UE based on the sequence of the reference signal through the receiver,

wherein the information on the operating band of the UE comprises an offset between the operating band of the UE and the reference point of the system band,

wherein the reference signal transmitted in the operating band of the UE is measured by using the sequence of the reference signal,

wherein the reference signal is transmitted on a resource where a common search space is configured for the UE,

wherein, based on the reference signal being transmitted on the two symbols through the system band, a same precoding is applied to the same antenna port in the operating band of the UE, and

wherein port patterns of the reference signal applied to each of the two symbols are different.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the reference point of the system band is a starting point of the system band.

12. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the sequence of the reference signal is a partial sequence of a predetermined sequence applied to the entirety of the system band, and wherein the partial sequence is for the operating band of the UE.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to determine, as the partial sequence, a part of the predetermined sequence generated with respect to the reference point, and wherein the part of the predetermined sequence corresponds to the operating band of the UE specified by the offset.

14. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the information on the reference point of the system band and the operating band of the UE is received through higher layer signaling.

15. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the UE is capable of communicating with at least one of another UE, a UE related to an autonomous driving vehicle, a base station or a network.
