Abstract

A method for transmitting data by a transmission node in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes transmitting, to a base station, a channel information request, transmitting, to the base station, a data packet based on a first channel information value received in response to the transmitted channel information request, and awaiting reception of a response packet indicating reception of the data packet from the base station, if the reception of the response packet fails during a predetermined time interval, detecting an energy level of a signal received in the predetermined time interval, and reconfiguring one of a transmitting method for the response packet and a transmitting method for a next data packet based on the detected energy level.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for transmitting data by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a base station, a channel information request;
transmitting, to the base station, a data packet based on a first channel information value received in response to the transmitted channel information request, and awaiting reception of a response packet indicating reception of the data packet from the base station;
identifying that the reception of the response packet fails during a predetermined time interval;
detecting an energy level associated with a strength of a signal received in the predetermined time interval;
identifying a situation among multiple situations indicating failures of the reception of the response packet respectively based on the detected energy level; and
identifying whether to reconfigure one of a transmitting method for the response packet from the base station or a transmitting method for a next data packet to the base station based on the identified situation,
wherein the multiple situations include the energy level being maintained at a minimum threshold value, the energy level corresponding to a maximum threshold value, or the energy level received being larger than the maximum threshold value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying of whether to reconfigure the one of the transmitting method for the response packet from the base station or the transmitting method for the next data packet to the base station based on the detected energy level comprises:
based on the detected energy level corresponding to the minimum threshold value, identifying that the base station does not transmit the response packet;
retransmitting, to the base station, the channel information request; and
reconfiguring the transmitting method for the next data packet based on a second channel information value received in response to the retransmitted channel information request.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the reconfiguring of the transmitting method for the next data packet comprises:
based on the second channel information value being worse than the first channel information value, reconfiguring the transmitting method; and
transmitting the next data packet based on the reconfigured transmitting method.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the reconfiguring of the transmitting method for the next data packet comprises:
based on the second channel information value being not included in a channel information table stored in the UE, stopping the transmitting of the next data packet.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the reconfiguring of the transmitting method for the next data packet comprises:
based on the second channel information value corresponding to the first channel information value, maintaining a transmitting method of the data packet.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying of whether to reconfigure the one of the transmitting method for the response packet from the base station or the transmitting method for the next data packet to the base station based on the detected energy level comprises:
based on the detected energy value corresponding to the maximum threshold value, and an energy level in an end time of the predetermined time interval is less than the minimum threshold value, identifying that the data packet is successfully received by the base station; and
transmitting, to the base station, the next data packet and information related to transmission of the response packet.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying of whether to reconfigure the one of the transmitting method for the response packet from the base station or the transmitting method for the next data packet to the base station based on the detected energy level comprises:
based on the detected energy value corresponding to the maximum threshold value, and an energy level in an end time of the predetermined time interval is greater than the minimum threshold value, identifying that the response packet is not received due to interference signals;
reconfiguring the transmitting method for the response packet; and
transmitting the next data packet and information related to transmission of the response packet based on the reconfigured transmitting method for the response packet.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein identifying whether to reconfigure the one of the transmitting method for the response packet from the base station or the transmitting method for the next data packet to the base station based on the detected energy level comprises:
measuring an interference amount for each reception candidate beam of the response packet;
identifying a new reception beam based on the measured interference amounts; and
based on a first transmission beam of a reception node corresponding to the identified new reception beam being different from a second transmission beam used when the base station transmits the response packet, configuring the first transmission beam as a new transmission beam.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein identifying whether to reconfigure the one of the transmitting method for the response packet from the base station or the transmitting method for the next data packet to the base station based on the detected energy level comprises:
identifying, as the new reception beam, a candidate beam having a minimum value of the measured interference amounts or having a maximum value of signal to interference plus noise ratios (SINRs) calculated using the measured interference amount, among the candidate beams.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein information on the reconfigured transmitting method for the response packet includes at least one of a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level to be applied to the response packet, a transmission beam index, or time information indicating whether a time is delayed.

11. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting data by a in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transmitter;
a receiver; and
at least one processor configured to:
control the transmitter to transmit, to a base station, a channel information request,
control the transmitter to transmit, to the base station, a data packet based on a first channel information value received in response to the transmitted channel information request,
control the receiver to await reception of a response packet indicating reception of the data packet from the base station,
identify that the reception of the response packet fails during a predetermined time interval,
detect an energy level associated with a strength of a signal received in the predetermined time interval
identify a situation among multiple situations indicating failures of the reception of the response packet respectively based on the detected energy level, and
identify whether to reconfigure one of a transmitting method for the response packet from the base station or a transmitting method for a next data packet to the base station based on the identified situation,

wherein the multiple situations include the energy level being maintained at a minimum threshold value, the energy level corresponding to a maximum threshold value, or the energy level received being larger than the maximum threshold value.

12. The UE of claim 11 ,
wherein, if the detected energy level corresponds to the minimum threshold value, the at least one processor is further configured to identify that the base station does not transmit the response packet;
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control the transmitter to retransmit, to the base station, the channel information request; and
wherein
