## Abstract

The present invention relates to a 5th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4th generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). The present invention relates to the transmission of a filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) symbol in a wireless communication system, and a method for operating a transmission terminal comprises the steps of: transmitting a first FBMC symbol generated by applying filters to subcarriers according to a first pattern; and transmitting a second FBMC symbol generated by applying the filters to the subcarriers according to a second pattern. In addition, the present invention also comprises examples different from the above mentioned example.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for operating a transmitting node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a receiving node, control information indicating a set of filter interleaving patterns including a first filter pattern and a second filter pattern;
transmitting, to the receiving node, a first filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) symbol generated by applying filters to subcarriers based on the first filter pattern; and
transmitting, to the receiving node, a second FBMC symbol generated by applying the filters to the subcarriers based on the second filter pattern.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
wherein the control information further comprises at least one index indicating a combination of filter set and filter patterns.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
transmitting, to the receiving node, control information indicating whether a guard carrier is set according to filter interleaving.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
wherein the control information further comprises control information indicating whether a guard carrier is set according to filter interleaving performed.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
wherein the control information further comprises at least one of control information indicating the second filter pattern and control information indicating a set of patterns comprising the first filter pattern and the second filter pattern.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein, in the first FBMC symbol and the second FBMC symbol, a filter applied to at least one carrier is a different filter.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first FBMC symbol comprises an initial transmit packet, and the second FBMC symbol comprises a retransmit packet.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

### Claim 9

A method for operating a receiving node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a transmitting node, control information indicating a set of filter interleaving patterns including a first filter pattern and a second filter pattern;
receiving, from the transmitting node, a first filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) symbol generated by applying filters to subcarriers based on the first filter pattern; and
receiving, from the transmitting node, a second FBMC symbol generated by applying the filters to the subcarriers based on the second filter pattern.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

wherein the control information further comprises at least one of control information indicating the second filter pattern and control information indicating a set of patterns comprising the first filter pattern and the second filter pattern.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein, in the first FBMC symbol and the second FBMC symbol, a filter applied to at least one carrier is a different filter.

### Claim 15 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the first FBMC symbol comprises an initial transmit packet, and
the second FBMC symbol comprises a retransmit packet.

### Claim 16 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, wherein the first FBMC symbol and the second FBMC symbol comprise at least one of data symbols space-time coded and the same data symbols for repetition transmission.
