Abstract

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method of decoding, by a user equipment, a downlink signal in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving rate matching pattern information indicating a rate matching resource having a repetition period from a base station; and decoding a downlink shared channel using the rate matching pattern information.

Claims (37)

1. A method of receiving a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), rate matching pattern information indicating Resource Elements (REs) for rate matching, wherein the REs for rate matching are not available for resource mapping of the PDSCH; and

decoding the PDSCH based on the rate matching pattern information,

wherein the rate matching pattern information includes (i) a symbol level bitmap indicating at least one symbol including at least one RE for rate matching of the PDSCH within at least one slot and (ii) a time-domain pattern indicating, among a plurality of units included in a period, at least one unit that includes a pattern of REs for rate matching defined based on the symbol level bitmap.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rate matching pattern information includes a RE group level bitmap indicating at least one RE group for rate matching of the PDSCH within the at least one symbol.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rate matching pattern information includes a Resource Block (RB) level bitmap indicating at least one RB for rate matching of the PDSCH within the at least one symbol.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of units is equal to a duration of the symbol level bitmap.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time-domain pattern is repeated with a periodicity equal to the period.

6. A user equipment (UE) configured to receive a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) 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 base station (BS) through the at least one transceiver, rate matching pattern information indicating Resource Elements (REs) for rate matching, wherein the REs for rate matching are not available for resource mapping of the PDSCH; and

decoding the PDSCH based on the rate matching pattern information,

wherein the rate matching pattern information includes (i) a symbol level bitmap indicating at least one symbol including at least one RE for rate matching of the PDSCH within at least one slot and (ii) a time-domain pattern indicating, among a plurality of units included in a period, at least one unit that includes a pattern of REs for rate matching defined based on the symbol level bitmap.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the rate matching pattern information includes a RE group level bitmap indicating at least one RE group for rate matching of the PDSCH within the at least one symbol.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the rate matching pattern information includes a Resource Block (RB) level bitmap indicating at least one RB for rate matching of the PDSCH within the at least one symbol.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of units is equal to a duration of the symbol level bitmap.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the time-domain pattern is repeated with a periodicity equal to the period.

11. An apparatus configured to receive a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

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 base station (BS), rate matching pattern information indicating Resource Elements (REs) for rate matching, wherein the REs for rate matching are not available for resource mapping of the PDSCH; and

decoding the PDSCH based on the rate matching pattern information,

wherein the rate matching pattern information includes (i) a symbol level bitmap indicating at least one symbol including at least one RE for rate matching of the PDSCH within at least one slot and (ii) a time-domain pattern indicating, among a plurality of units included in a period, at least one unit that includes a pattern of REs for rate matching defined based on the symbol level bitmap.

12. A non-transitory medium which is readable by a processor and storing instructions cause the processor to perform the method of claim 1 .

13. A method of transmitting a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), rate matching pattern information indicating Resource Elements (REs) for rate matching, wherein the REs for rate matching are not available for resource mapping of the PDSCH; and

transmitting, to the UE, the PDSCH based on the rate matching pattern information,

wherein the rate matching pattern information includes (i) a symbol level bitmap indicating at least one symbol including at least one RE for rate matching of the PDSCH within at least one slot and (ii) a time-domain pattern indicating, among a plurality of units included in a period, at least one unit that includes a pattern of REs for rate matching defined based on the symbol level bitmap.

14. A base station (BS) configured to transmit a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) in a wireless communication system, the BS 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:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) through the at least one transceiver, rate matching pattern information indicating Resource Elements (REs) for rate matching, wherein the REs for rate matching are not available for resource mapping of the PDSCH; and

transmitting, to the UE through the at least one transceiver, the PDSCH based on the rate matching pattern information,

wherein the rate matching pattern information includes (i) a symbol level bitmap indicating at least one symbol including at least one RE for rate matching of the PDSCH within at least one slot and (ii) a time-domain pattern indicating, among a plurality of units included in a period, at least one unit that includes a pattern of REs for rate matching defined based on the symbol level bitmap.
