Abstract
Disclosed are a method for adjusting a downlink listen-before-talk (LBT) parameter by a base station, in a licensed assisted access (LAA) system for execution of LBT-based signal transmission by a base station or a terminal, and a device for supporting same. More particularly, disclosed are a method for uplink operation by a terminal, in a multi-carrier environment, a method for uplink transmission on the basis of same, and a device for supporting the methods.
Claims8
A method for adjusting a downlink LBT (listen-before-talk) parameter by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the method comprising:
- performing downlink LBT procedures for a plurality of carriers,
- wherein a first type downlink LBT procedure is performed for a single carrier configured for a primary secondary cell (pSCell) among the plurality of carriers and a second type downlink LBT procedure is performed for each of remaining carriers among the plurality of carriers;
- based on a result of the first type downlink LBT procedure and the second type downlink LBT procedure, transmitting, to one or more UEs, a downlink signal on one or more carriers during MCOT (maximum channel occupancy time) occupied by the BS;
- and
- increasing downlink CWS (contention window size) values corresponding to all downlink LBT priority classes based on less than 10% of uplink transport blocks scheduled to the one or more UEs being successfully received,
- wherein the first type downlink LBT procedure is a back-off counter based LBT procedure, and
- wherein based on the second type downlink LBT procedure, the downlink signal on one or more of the remaining carriers is transmitted when the one or more of the remaining carriers are in an idle state for more than a predefined time duration.
A base station (BS) configured to transceive a signal with a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the BS comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- and
- a processor configured to operate in a manner of being connected with the receiver and the transmitter,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- perform downlink LBT procedures for a plurality of carriers,
- wherein a first type downlink LBT (listen-before-talk) procedure is performed for a single carrier configured for a primary secondary cell (pSCell) among the plurality of carriers and a second type downlink LBT procedure is performed for each of remaining carriers among the plurality of carriers;
- based on a result of the first type downlink LBT procedure and the second type downlink LBT procedure, transmit, to one or more UEs, a downlink signal on one or more carriers during MCOT (maximum channel occupancy time) occupied by the BS;
- and
- increase downlink CWS (contention window size) values corresponding to all downlink LBT priority classes based on less than 10% of uplink transport blocks scheduled to the one or more UEs being successfully received,
- wherein the first type downlink LBT procedure is a back-off counter based LBT procedure, and
- wherein based on the second type downlink LBT procedure, the downlink signal on one or more of the remaining carriers is transmitted when the one or more of the remaining carriers are in an idle state for more than a predefined time duration.
