Abstract

Methods and apparatuses of a communication system are provided. A method performed by a terminal includes receiving, from a base station, configuration information for a preemption indication via higher layer signaling, receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including a preemption indicator on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the DCI being scrambled by a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) for the preemption indicator, and identifying resources indicated by the preemption indicator, wherein the preemption indicator indicates the resources where no transmission for the terminal exists.

Claims (54)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information for a preemption indication via higher layer signaling;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including a preemption indicator on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the DCI being scrambled by a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) for the preemption indicator; and

identifying resources indicated by the preemption indicator,

wherein the preemption indicator indicates the resources where no transmission for the terminal exists.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the configuration information includes information indicating a type for a unit of symbols and a unit of physical resource block (PRB) groups associated with the preemption indicator.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein uplink resources configured by the base station are excluded from the resources.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the preemption indicator is applied to a last period associated with the PDCCH.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preemption indicator indicates the resources by a unit of symbols and a unit of PRB groups, and

wherein the unit of symbols is based on a period associated with the PDCCH.

6. A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, configuration information for a preemption indication via higher layer signaling; and

transmitting, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI) including a preemption indicator indicating resources on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the DCI being scrambled by a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) for the preemption indicator,

wherein the preemption indicator indicates the resources where no transmission for the terminal exists.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the configuration information includes information indicating a type for a unit of symbols and a unit of physical resource block (PRB) groups associated with the preemption indicator.

8. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein uplink resources configured by the base station are excluded from the resources.

9. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the preemption indicator is applied to a last period associated with the PDCCH.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the preemption indicator indicates the resources by a unit of symbols and a unit of PRB groups, and

wherein the unit of symbols is based on a period associated with the PDCCH.

11. A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver;

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, configuration information for a preemption indication via higher layer signaling,

receive, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including a preemption indicator on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the DCI being scrambled by a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) for the preemption indicator, and

identify resources indicated by the preemption indicator,

wherein the preemption indicator indicates the resources where no transmission for the terminal exists.

12. The terminal of claim 11 ,

wherein the configuration information includes information indicating a type for a unit of symbols and a unit of physical resource block (PRB) groups associated with the preemption indicator.

13. The terminal of claim 11 ,

wherein uplink resources configured by the base station are excluded from the resources.

14. The terminal of claim 11 ,

wherein the preemption indicator is applied to a last period associated with the PDCCH.

15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the preemption indicator indicates the resources by a unit of symbols and a unit of PRB groups, and

wherein the unit of symbols is based on a period associated with the PDCCH.

16. A base station in a communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver;

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, configuration information for a preemption indication via higher layer signaling, and

transmit, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI) including a preemption indicator indicating resources on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), the DCI being scrambled by a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) for the preemption indicator,

wherein the preemption indicator indicates the resources where no transmission for the terminal exists.

17. The base station of claim 16 ,

wherein the configuration information includes information indicating a type for a unit of symbols and a unit of physical resource block (PRB) groups associated with the preemption indicator.

18. The base station of claim 16 ,

wherein uplink resources configured by the base station are excluded from the resources.

19. The base station of claim 16 ,

wherein the preemption indicator is applied to a last period associated with the PDCCH.

20. The base station of claim 16 , wherein the preemption indicator indicates the resources by a unit of symbols and a unit of PRB groups, and

wherein the unit of symbols is based on a period associated with the PDCCH.
