Abstract

There are provided a method of carrying out synchronization tracking and a wireless device using the same. The wireless device receives CSI-RS (Channel Status Information-Reference Signal) setting for prescribing the CSI-RS from a base station, and TRS (Tracking Reference Signal) setting for prescribing the TRS from the base station. The wireless device tracks the synchronization based on the TRS.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of carrying out synchronization tracking in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving channel status information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration for prescribing a CSI-RS from a base station by a wireless device;
receiving tracking reference signal (TRS) configuration for prescribing a TRS from the base station by the wireless device;
receiving the CSI-RS according to the CSI-RS configuration by the wireless device;
receiving the TRS according to the TRS configuration by the wireless device; and
tracking the synchronization based on the TRS by the wireless device,
wherein the TRS configuration comprises information on whether an antenna port used according to the CSI-RS is used according to the TRS.

2. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the TRS configuration comprises information on whether the TRS is collaboratively used through a combination of the CRS-RS and the TRS.

3. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the CSI-RS and the TRS are received in a sub-frame including a first slot and a second slot.

4. The method of claim 3 ,
wherein the CSI-RS is received in the first slot, and the TRS is received in the second slot.

5. The method of claim 3 ,
wherein a cell specific reference signal (CRS) is not received in the sub-frame.

6. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the CSI-RS is received through a first pair among a plurality of antenna port pairs, and the TRS is received through one antenna port of a second pair among the plurality of antenna port pairs.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TRS configuration comprises information on a transmission period when the TRS is transmitted.

8. The method of claim 7 ,
wherein a discontinuous reception (DRX) period prescribed to the wireless device is a multiple of the transmission period.

9. A wireless device for carrying output synchronization tracking in a wireless communication system, the wireless device comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal; and
a processor connected to the RF unit,
wherein the processor receives channel status information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration for prescribing the CSI-RS from a base station by a wireless device,
receives tracking reference signal (TRS) configuration for prescribing the TRS from the base station by the wireless device,
receives the CSI-RS according to the CSI-RS configuration by the wireless device,
receives the TRS according to the TRS configuration by the wireless device, and
tracks the synchronization based on the TRS by the wireless device,
wherein the TRS configuration comprises information on whether an antenna port used according to the CSI-RS is used according to the TRS.

10. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the TRS configuration comprises information on whether the TRS is collaboratively used through a combination of the CRS-RS and the TRS.

11. The wireless device of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS and the TRS are received in a sub-frame including a first slot and a second slot, the CSI-RS is received in the first slot, and the TRS is received in the second slot.
