Method and device for determining downlink transmission timing for relay node in next generation communication system
The present application discloses a method for transmitting a downlink signal by a child node in a next generation wireless communication system. Specifically, the method comprises the steps of: receiving information on a timing advanced value from a parent node; determining a reception timing of a first downlink signal transmitted from the parent node; calculating a transmission timing of a second downlink signal preceding the reception timing of the first downlink signal by a timing correction value based on a preconfigured offset value and the timing advanced value; and according to the transmission timing of the second downlink signal, transmitting the second downlink signal to another child node.
1. A method for transmitting a downlink signal by an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a parent node, information about a timing offset;
calculating a time difference between a downlink transmission timing from the parent node and a downlink reception timing by the TAB node based on a timing advance (TA) for an uplink transmission to the parent node and the timing offset;
determining a downlink transmission timing to a child node using the time difference; and
transmitting the downlink signal based on the downlink transmission timing.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timing offset is received via a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink transmission timing is determined to be preceded from the downlink reception timing as much as the time difference.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving information about the TA from the parent node,
wherein the downlink transmission timing is not updated when the information about the TA is received.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information about the timing offset comprises an instruction to update the downlink transmission timing.
6. An integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node in in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
at least one transceiver;
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a parent node, information about a timing offset;
calculating a time difference between a downlink transmission timing from the parent node and a downlink reception timing by the TAB node based on a timing advance (TA) for an uplink transmission to the parent node and the timing offset;
determining a downlink transmission timing to a child node using the time difference; and
transmitting a downlink signal based on the downlink transmission timing.
7. The TAB node of claim 6 , wherein the timing offset is received via a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).
8. The TAB node of claim 6 , wherein the downlink transmission timing is determined to be preceded from the downlink reception timing as much as the time difference.
9. The TAB node of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving information about the TA from the parent node,
wherein the downlink transmission timing is not updated when the information about the TA is received.
10. The TAB node of claim 6 , wherein the information about the timing offset comprises an instruction to update the downlink transmission timing.
