Mobile station apparatus and method for receiving signal in a wireless communication system supporting a plurality of wireless communication schemes

A Mobile Station (MS) for receiving a signal in a wireless communication system supporting communication using a plurality of different wireless communication schemes, the MS comprising:

• a receiver for receiving from a Base Station (BS) a downlink signal in a downlink subframe allocated to a second zone in a downlink zone of a specific frame, the second zone being dedicated to the MS using a second communication scheme among the plurality of wireless communication schemes,
• wherein a number of the downlink subframes allocated to the second zone is one,
• wherein the downlink subframe allocated to the second zone is located after a first downlink subframe of a first zone to be used for another MS using a first communication scheme by one subframe or two subframes in the specific frame,
• wherein the downlink subframe allocated to the second zone is a Type-2 subframe having seven Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) symbols.

A method for receiving a signal in a wireless communication system supporting both communication of a first Mobile Station (MS) using a first wireless communication scheme and communication of a second MS using a second wireless communication scheme, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the second MS, a downlink signal in a downlink subframe allocated to a second zone dedicated to communication of the second MS in a downlink zone of a specific frame,
• wherein a number of the downlink subframes allocated to the second zone is one,
• wherein the downlink subframe allocated to the second zone is located after a first downlink subframe of a first zone to be used for communication of the first MS by one subframe or two subframes in the specific frame,
• wherein the downlink subframe allocated to the second zone is a Type-2 subframe having seven Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) symbols,
• wherein the specific frame has a channel bandwidth of one of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, 8.75 MHz, and 7 MHz, and
• wherein if the specific frame is a Time Division Duplex (TDD) frame having a channel bandwidth of one of 5 MHz, 10 MHz and 20 MHz, a ratio of a number of downlink subframes to a number of uplink subframes in the specific frame is 5:3,
• if the specific frame is a TDD frame having a channel bandwidth of 8.75 MHz, a ratio of a number of downlink subframes to a number of uplink subframes in the specific frame is 5:2, and
• if the specific frame is a TDD frame having a channel bandwidth of 7 MHz, a ratio of a number of downlink subframes to a number of uplink subframes in the specific frame is 3:2.
