Abstract

A base station of a wireless communication system is disclosed. The base station of the wireless communication includes a communication module, and a processor. The processor generates a preemption indicator indicating a preempted resource. In this case, the resource indicated by the preemption indicator does not include an orthogonal frequency divisional multiplexing (OFDM) symbol configured as an uplink (UL) symbol by a radio resource control (RRC) signal. The processor is configured to transmit the preemption indicator to a user equipment of the wireless system based on a predetermined period.

Claims (41)

1. A base station configured to operate in of a wireless communication system using a time division duplex (TDD), scheme, the base station comprising:

a communication module; and

a processor configured to control the communication module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

generate a preemption indicator indicating a preempted resource within a predetermined period which includes a first plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols which comprise one or more uplink (UL) symbols, one or more downlink (DL) symbols, and one or more flexible symbols configured as neither a UL symbol nor a DL symbol, wherein the one or more DL symbols, the one or more UL symbols and the one or more flexible symbols are configured by a cell specific radio resource control (RRC) signal, wherein at least one of the one or more flexible symbols is additionally configured as a UL symbol by a user equipment specific RRC signal, and

transmit the preemption indicator to a user equipment of the wireless communication system based on the predetermined period,

wherein the preemption indicator indicates the preempted resource among a second plurality of OFDM symbols which are OFDM symbols included in the first plurality of OFDM symbols except for the one or more UL symbols configured by the cell specific RRC signal, and

the second plurality of OFDM symbols includes the UL symbol configured by the user equipment specific RRC signal.

2. The base station of claim 1 , wherein a number of the first plurality of OFDM symbols between the predetermined periods is N_symb*T_INT*2 (μ−μ_INT) ,

wherein N_symb represents a number of OFDM symbols included in a slot,

T_INT represents a periodicity of monitoring the preemption indicator,

μ_INT represents a value satisfying that a subcarrier spacing of a carrier through which the preemption indicator is transmitted is 15*2 μ_INT kHz, and

μ represents a value satisfying that a subcarrier spacing of a carrier which is indicated by the preemption indicator is 15*2 μ kHz, and

wherein the processor is configured to configure values of T_INT, μ, and μ_INT that makes a value of N_symb*T_INT*2 (μ−μ_INT) a natural number.

3. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the preemption indicator indicates a full bandwidth of a bandwidth part (BWP) used by the user equipment,

wherein the BWP is equal to or narrower than a bandwidth configured to the user equipment and is a frequency band through which the user equipment performs transmission and/or reception.

4. A user equipment configured to operate in of a wireless communication system using a time division duplex, (TDD) scheme, the user equipment comprising:

a communication module; and

a processor configured to control the communication module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

periodically monitor a preemption indicator indicating a preempted resource within a predetermined period which includes a first plurality of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols which comprise one or more uplink (UL) symbols, one or more downlink (DL) symbols, and one or more flexible symbols configured as neither a UL symbol nor a DL symbol, wherein the one or more DL symbols, the one or more UL symbols and the one or more flexible symbols are configured by a cell specific radio resource control (RRC) signal, wherein at least one of the one or more flexible symbols is additionally configured as a UL symbol by a user equipment specific RRC signal,
