Abstract

The present specification provides a method for performing measurement by using an RSS in a wireless communication system. More specifically, the method performed by a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving, from a first base station, power boosting information indicating a relative value compared to cell-specific reference signal (CRS) power and CRS port information indicating the number of CRS antenna ports; receiving the RSS from the first base station; and measuring the reference signal received power (RSRP) and/or the reference signal received quality (RSRQ) of the RSS on the basis of the power boosting information and the CRS port information.

Claims (41)

1. A method of performing measurement using a Resynchronization Signal (RSS) in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a terminal comprising:

receiving configuration information for specifying an RSS configuration from a first base station, wherein the configuration information includes RSS period information, RSS duration information, RSS frequency location information, RSS time offset information and power boosting information representing a value relative to cell-specific reference signal (CRS) power;

receiving the RSS from the first base station; and

performing Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurement of the RSS based on the configuration information,

wherein an RSS time offset is determined in units of one or more radio frames based on the RSS time offset information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information further includes CRS port information representing a number of antenna ports of a CRS.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein an antenna port of the RSS is determined based on the antenna port of the CRS.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising,

receiving, from the first base station, control information on a location of time and/or frequency of RSS transmitted from a second base station.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the control information represents a relative value to a location of time and/or frequency of the RSS transmitted from the first base station.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first base station is a serving cell, and the second base station is a neighbor cell.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RSS frequency location information includes a lowest physical resource block number of the RSS.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RSS period information includes one of 160 ms, 320 ms, 640 ms or 1280 ms.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RSS duration information includes one of 8 subframes, 16 subframes, 32 subframes or 40 subframes.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the power boosting information includes one of 0 dB, 3 dB, 4.8 dB or 6 dB.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein an RSS time offset of a specific cell is determined based on an RSS time offset of a serving cell and a cell identifier of the specific cell.

12. A terminal for performing measurement using a Resynchronization Signal (RSS) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transmitter for transmitting a radio signal;

a receiver for receiving a radio signal; and

a processor for controlling the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the processor controls to:

receive configuration information for specifying an RSS configuration from a first base station, wherein the configuration information includes RSS period information, RSS duration information, RSS frequency location information, RSS time offset information and power boosting information representing a value relative to cell-specific reference signal (CRS) power;

receive the RSS from the first base station; and

perform Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) measurement of the RSS based on the configuration information,

wherein an RSS time offset is determined in units of one or more radio frames based on the RSS time offset information.

13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the configuration information further includes CRS port information representing a number of antenna ports of a CRS.

14. The terminal of claim 13 , wherein an antenna port of the RSS is determined based on the antenna port of the CRS.

15. The terminal of claim 13 , further comprising,

receiving, from the first base station, control information on a location of time and/or frequency of RSS transmitted from a second base station.

16. The terminal of claim 15 , wherein the control information represents a relative value to a location of time and/or frequency of the RSS transmitted from the first base station.

17. The terminal of claim 15 , wherein the first base station is a serving cell, and the second base station is a neighbor cell.

18. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the RSS frequency location information includes a lowest physical resource block number of the RSS.

19. A base station for transmitting a Resynchronization Signal (RSS) in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transmitter for transmitting a radio signal;

a receiver for receiving a radio signal; and

a processor for controlling the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the processor controls to:

transmit configuration information for specifying an RSS configuration to a terminal, wherein the configuration information includes RSS period information, RSS duration information, RSS frequency location information, RSS time offset information and power boosting information representing a value relative to cell-specific reference signal (CRS) power; and

transmit the RSS to the terminal;

wherein an RSS time offset is determined in units of one or more radio frames based on the RSS time offset information.

20. The base station of claim 19 , wherein the RSS frequency location information includes a lowest physical resource block number of the RSS.
