Abstract

The present specification provides a method for simultaneously transmitting/receiving an uplink signal and a downlink signal in a wireless communication system for supporting SDD. More particularly, a method performed by a terminal includes the steps of: measuring a beam on the basis of at least one wireless unit including resources and a plurality of antennas related to beam management; reporting a result of the beam measurement to a base station; and simultaneously transmitting/receiving an uplink signal and a downlink signal to/from the base station on the basis of first beam pair information, when the simultaneous transmission/reception of the uplink signal and the downlink signal on the same symbol to/from the base station is configured.

Claims (25)

1. A method for simultaneously transmitting and receiving an uplink signal and a downlink signal in a wireless communication system for supporting spatial division duplexing (SDD), the method performed by a terminal comprising:

performing beam measurement based on at least one radio unit comprising a plurality of antennas and a resource related to beam management;

reporting a result of the beam measurement to a base station,

wherein the result of the beam measurement comprises at least one of first beam pair information about a combination of a transmission beam and a reception beam in which the SDD is enabled or second beam pair information about a combination of a transmission beam and a reception beam in which the SDD is disabled;

receiving, from the base station, downlink-uplink (DL-UL) joint beam management configuration for simultaneous transmission and reception of the uplink signal and the downlink signal through at least one overlapped resource among channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources and sounding reference signal reference signal (SRS) resources; and

simultaneously transmitting and receiving the uplink signal and the downlink signal to and from the base station through the at least one overlapped resource based on the first beam pair information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission beam is a transmission reference signal (RS) resource identifier (ID), and the reception beam is a reception RS resource ID.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving information indicating a specific beam pair among the first beam pair information from the base station,

wherein the uplink signal and the downlink signal are simultaneously transmitted and received to and from the base station based on the specific beam pair.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing of beam measurement comprises searching for a beam pair in which SDD is enabled so as to simultaneously transmit and receive the uplink signal and the downlink signal.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the combination of the transmission beam and the reception beam has a one-to-one mapping or many-to-one mapping relationship.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein whether the SDD is enabled or disabled is determined through comparison of a value of self-interference (SI) and a specific threshold.

7. A terminal for simultaneously transmitting and receiving an uplink signal and a downlink signal in a wireless communication system for supporting spatial division duplexing (SDD), the terminal comprising:

a transmitter for transmitting a radio signal;

a receiver for receiving the radio signal; and

a processor functionally connected to the transmitter and the receiver, wherein the processor is configured to:

perform beam measurement based on at least one radio unit comprising a plurality of antennas and a resource related to beam management;

report a result of the beam measurement to the base station,

wherein the result of the beam measurement comprises at least one of first beam pair information about a combination of a transmission beam and a reception beam in which the SDD is enabled or second beam pair information about a combination of a transmission beam and a reception beam in which the SDD is disabled;

receive, from the base station, downlink-uplink (DL-UL) joint beam management configuration for simultaneous transmission and reception of the uplink signal and the downlink signal through at least one overlapped resource among channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources and sounding reference signal reference signal (SRS) resources; and

control the transmitter and the receiver to simultaneously transmit and receive the uplink signal and the downlink signal to and from the base station through the at least one overlapped resource based on the first beam pair information.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the transmission beam is a transmission reference signal (RS) resource identifier (ID), and the reception beam is a reception RS resource ID.

9. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the processor controls the receiver to receive information indicating a specific beam pair among the first beam pair information from the base station and controls the transmitter and the receiver to simultaneously transmit and receive the uplink signal and the downlink signal to and from the base station based on the specific beam pair.

10. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the processor controls to perform the beam measurement by searching for a beam pair in which SDD is enabled so as to simultaneously transmit and receive the uplink signal and the downlink signal.

11. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the combination of the transmission beam and the reception beam has a one-to-one mapping or many-to-one mapping relationship.
