Abstract

The present invention relates to various methods for performing quasi co-location (QCL) and apparatuses supporting the same. As an embodiment of the present invention, a method for performing quasi co-location (QCL) for a new carrier type (NCT) by a terminal in a wireless access system may include the steps of: receiving a higher layer signal including a QCL reference CRS information parameter indicating CRS information of a reference carrier; receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signal including a PDSCH remapping and quasi co-location indicator (PQI) field; receiving a CSI-RS of a QCLed NCT and a CRS of a reference carrier on the basis of a PQI field and a QCL reference CRS information parameter; and performing frequency tracking of the NCT and the reference carrier on the basis of the CSI-RS of the NCT and the CRS of the reference carrier.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for performing Quasi Co-Location (QCL) for a second carrier by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless access system, the method comprising:
receiving a higher layer signal including a reference carrier indication indicating a reference carrier and a QCL reference Cell specific Reference Signal (CRS) information parameter indicating tracking reference signal (TRS) information of the reference carrier;
receiving a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) signal including a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) Resource Element (RE) Mapping and QCL Indicator (PQI) field, the PQI field indicating a QCL parameter set configured for the UE;
receiving from the reference carrier a first PDSCH including a TRS, based on the TRS information indicated by the QCL reference CRS information parameter and the QCL parameter set indicated by the PQI field,
wherein the TRS is quasi co-located with a CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) of the reference carrier according to a CSI-RS resource configuration;
receiving from the second carrier a second PDSCH, including a corresponding CSI-RS, by applying large-scale properties obtained from the CSI-RS of the reference carrier,
wherein the CSI-RS from the second carrier is quasi co-located with the TRS of the reference carrier; and
performing time and frequency tracking between the reference carrier and the second carrier based on the CSI-RS received from the second carrier,
wherein the TRS is used only for the time and frequency tracking, and the TRS is periodically transmitted in the reference carrier.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the UE is configured as a transmission mode 10 and a QCL type B, and
wherein the QCL type B indicates that an antenna port for the TRS and an antenna port corresponding to the CSI-RS resource configuration are quasi co-located.

3. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the UE is configured as a transmission mode 10 and a QCL type B such that the UE assumes that an antenna port for the TRS and an antenna port corresponding to the CSI-RS resource configuration are quasi co-located with respect to a Doppler shift and a Doppler spread.

4. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the reference carrier is a Primary cell (Pcell), and
wherein the second carrier is a New Carrier Type (NCT) including only a data channel.

5. An apparatus supporting performing Quasi Co-Location (QCL) for a second carrier in a wireless access system, the apparatus comprising:
a receiver; and
a processor for supporting QCL, wherein the processor is configured to
control the receiver to receive a higher layer signal including a reference carrier indication indicating a reference carrier and a QCL reference Cell specific Reference Signal (CRS) information parameter indicating tracking reference signal (TRS) information of the reference carrier,
control the receiver to receive a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) signal including a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) Resource Element (RE) Mapping and QCL Indicator (PQI) field through the receiver, the PQI field indicating a QCL parameter set configured for the UE,
control the receiver to receive from the reference carrier a first PDSCH including a TRS, based on the TRS information indicated by the QCL reference CRS information parameter and the QCL parameter set indicated by the PQI field,
wherein the TRS is quasi co-located with a CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) of the reference carrier,
control the receiver to receive from the second carrier a second PDSCH, including a CSI-RS, by applying large-scale properties obtained from the CSI-RS of the reference carrier,
wherein the CSI-RS from the second carrier is quasi co-located with the TRS of the reference carrier, and
perform frequency tracking between the reference carrier and the second carrier based on the CSI-RS received from the second carrier,
wherein the TRS is used only for time and frequency tracking, and the TRS is periodically transmitted in the reference carrier.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein the apparatus is configured as transmission a mode 10 and a QCL type B, and
wherein the QCL type B indicates that an antenna port for the TRS and an antenna port corresponding to the CSI-RS resource configuration are quasi co-located.

7. The apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein the apparatus is configured as a transmission mode 10 and a QCL type B such that the UE assumes that an antenna port for the TRS and an antenna port corresponding to the CSI-RS resource configuration are quasi co-located with respect to a Doppler shift and a Doppler spread.

8. The apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein the reference carrier is a Primary cell (Pcell), and
wherein the second carrier is a New Carrier Type (NCT) including only a data channel.
