Signal transmitting/receiving method and apparatus

A method of receiving a signal by a second apparatus, the method comprising the step of:

• receiving, from a first apparatus, a pulse signal including a control signal for controlling the second apparatus and a clock signal for obtaining synchronization with the first apparatus, a radio frequency (RF) signal for communication with a base station, and a power signal for supplying power,
• wherein the clock signal and the control signal are assigned to different time units,
• wherein the clock signal is assigned to a preset time unit, and the control signal is assigned to one of multiple time units based on a value included in the control signal,
• wherein the multiple time units include time units included between time units to which the clock signal is assigned, and
• wherein each of the pulse signal, the RF signal, and the power signal is received at different frequency bands.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a pulse signal generator configured to generate a pulse signal including a clock signal for obtaining synchronization with at least one second apparatus and a control signal for controlling the at least one second apparatus;
• and
• a transmitter configured to transmit, to the at least one second apparatus, the pulse signal including the clock signal and the control signal, a radio frequency (RF) signal for communication with a base station, and a power signal for supplying power to the at least one second apparatus,
• wherein the clock signal and the control signal are assigned to different time units,
• wherein the clock signal is assigned to a preset time unit, and the control signal is assigned to one of multiple time units based on a value included in the control signal,
• wherein the multiple time units include time units included between time units to which the clock signal is assigned, and
• wherein each of the pulse signal, the RF signal, and the power signal is transmitted at different frequency bands.

A second apparatus, comprising:

• a receiver configured to receive, from a first apparatus, a pulse signal including a control signal for controlling the second apparatus and a clock signal for obtaining synchronization with the first apparatus, a radio frequency (RF) signal for communication with a base station, and a power signal for supplying power,
• wherein the clock signal and the control signal are assigned to different time units,
• wherein the clock signal is assigned to a preset time unit, and the control signal is assigned to one of multiple time units based on a value included in the control signal,
• wherein the multiple time units include time units included between time units to which the clock signal is assigned, and
• wherein each of the pulse signal, the RF signal, and the power signal is received at different frequency bands.
