Method for measuring channel using tracking reference signal in wireless communication system and device using same
A method for measuring a channel in a wireless communication system is provided. A terminal receives a first reference signal from a primary cell. The terminal receives a second reference signal from a secondary cell corresponding to the primary cell. The terminal measures a channel for the secondary cell on the basis of the second reference signal. A subframe in which the second reference signal is received is signaled from the primary cell.
1. A method for measuring a channel in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a first reference signal from a primary cell;
receiving a second reference signal from a secondary cell corresponding to the primary cell; and
performing channel measurement on the secondary cell based on the second reference signal, wherein a subframe in which the second reference signal is received is signaled by the primary cell, and
wherein, if the subframe signaled by the primary cell is an uplink subframe or a special subframe, the second reference signal is received in a downlink subframe that is included in plural subframes prior to the uplink subframe or the special subframe and that is closest to the uplink subframe or the special subframe.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the first reference signal is a Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS) received every 1 ms, and
the second reference signal is a Tracking Reference Signal (TRS) received every 5.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subframe in which the second reference signal is received is indicated by an offset based on a subframe #0.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the offset is received through a downlink control channel of the primary cell.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the offset is signaled from a Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer of the primary cell.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving the second reference signal includes receiving a third reference signal for synchronization with the secondary cell, and
wherein the third reference signal is received in a subframe in which the second reference signal is received.
7. A user equipment in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:
a Radio Frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive radio signals; and
a processor connected to the RF unit and configured to:
receive a first reference signal from a primary cell,
receive a second reference signal from a secondary cell corresponding to the primary cell, and
perform channel measurement on the secondary cell based on the second reference signal,
wherein a subframe in which the second reference signal is received is signaled by the primary cell, and
wherein, if the subframe signaled by the primary cell is an uplink subframe or a special subframe, the second reference signal is received in a downlink subframe that is included in plural subframes prior to the uplink subframe or the special subframe and that is closest to the uplink subframe or the special subframe.
8. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein the subframe in which the second reference signal is received is indicated by an offset based on a subframe # 0 .
9. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the offset is received though a downlink control channel of the primary cell.
10. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to receive the second reference signal by receiving a third reference signal for synchronization with the secondary cell, and
wherein the third reference signal is received in a subframe in which the second reference signal is received.
