The eNB selects group IDs satisfying IDI values equal to or greater/less than a specific threshold value as neighbor group IDs using the reported IDI information and then transmits the neighbor group IDs. Next, each UE in a group ID may measure IDI only with respect to UEs belonging to the received neighbor group IDs, thereby reducing overhead for IDI measurement.
  • the eNB may transmit all group IDs and UE_IDs belonging to corresponding groups to all UEs. For example, this information may be transmitted through the PDCCH or the PDSCH.
  • each UE measures IDI for one UE per group ID during IDI measurement and measures IDI only with respect to UEs belonging to a group satisfying an IDI value equal to or greater/less than a specific threshold value, thereby reducing overhead for IDI measurement.
  • information transmitted to a UE may include measurement/reporting period information and this information may be transmitted through higher layer signaling such as RRC.
  • the second embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for updating grouping after initial grouping of the first embodiment is performed.
  • Grouping update indicates maintenance or update of group configuration due to IDI re-measurement or reporting in a situation in which a group is configured and operates in an FD mode on the same resource.
  • a configured group may be changed due to participation of a new candidate UE in a group or dropping of a previous candidate UE from a group.
  • FIG. 24 is a flowchart illustrating grouping update according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • An eNB determines whether there is a candidate UE that desires to participate in grouping or a UE that desires to stop participating in an FD mode on the same resource (S 2401 ). If a new candidate UE is present, the eNB informs all groups that the corresponding candidate UE is a target UE for IDI measurement and, if a UE that desires to stop participating in the FD mode is present, the eNB informs groups performing measurement of the corresponding UE that the UE desires to stop participating in a group (S 2403 ). If there is no UE to be changed, a UE determination period, an IDI measurement period, or an IDI reporting period may be changed (S 2404 ).
  • IDI measurement by a UE may be performed according to a set period (S 2406 ) or according to an instruction by the eNB (S 2407 ).
  • a UE measuring IDI may report IDI information to the eNB according to a set period (S 2409 ) or according to an instruction by the eNB (S 2410 ).
  • the eNB updates group information of UEs based on the reported information (S 2411 ) and transmits the updated group information to the corresponding UEs (S 2412 ).
  • step S 2401 the eNB determines whether there is a new candidate UE that desires to participate in grouping or a UE that desires to stop participating in an FD mode on the same resource.
  • the UE that desires to stop participating in the FD mode operates in a fallback mode.
  • the eNB may check whether there is a UE that desires to participate in the FD mode on the same resource using the following methods.
  • an FDR device may allocate one bit indicating whether a corresponding UE has been included in a group through a UCI format of a PUCCH or a PUSCH.
  • the eNB determines whether a UE is a grouping participation/dropping candidate UE using both this bit and the bit for a grouping participation request in FIG. 14 . For example, if the grouping participation request bit is ‘1’ and the bit indicating that a corresponding UE has been included in a group is ‘0’, the UE corresponds to a new candidate UE that is to participate in grouping.
  • FIG. 25 illustrates an example of determining a grouping candidate UE using a bit for a grouping participation request and a bit indicating whether the UE has been included in a group.
  • the eNB determines a grouping participation/dropping candidate UE using the bit for the grouping participation request in FIG. 14 . If the eNB stores a group ID of a configured group and UE_IDs of UEs included in the group, the group ID and UE_IDs may be used instead of the bit indicating whether a corresponding UE has been included in a group. For example, if the grouping participation request bit is ‘1’ and a UE_ID of a corresponding UE is not present in the stored UE_IDs, the eNB may determine that the UE is a new UE that is to participate in grouping.
  • a UE transmits the grouping participation request bit in consideration of a state included in a group (e.g., reception of a corresponding group ID).
  • the grouping participation request bit may be used instead of the bit allocated to indicate whether a corresponding UE has been included in a group.
  • the eNB may determine that the UE is to stop participating in the FD mode and, if the grouping participation bit is ‘1’, the eNB may determine that the UE is a new UE that is to participate in grouping.
  • the eNB may periodically perform grouping update. Specifically, grouping update may be performed with respect to UEs participating in an FD mode through steps S 2403 and S 2405 .
  • the determination timing and operation of grouping candidate UEs may be performed as follows.
  • the eNB determines grouping candidate UEs whenever grouping update is performed.
  • the eNB periodically determines grouping candidate UEs at a candidate UE determination period.
  • the candidate UE determination period may be fixed or may be changed to be long in an environment in which a group is not frequently changed.
  • the increased period may be reset to a first set period.
  • the candidate UE determination period may be determined as follows relative to the grouping update period.
  • the candidate UE determination period may be shorter than the grouping update period. This method may be used when the eNB predetermines an FD mode participation stopping UE with respect to partial groups at every candidate UE determination period.
  • the candidate UE determination period may be longer than the grouping update period. In this case, overhead for determining candidate UEs can be reduced. If grouping update is performed at a period at which the candidate UEs are not determined, it may be determined that grouping target UEs are not changed in step S 2402 .
  • the eNB may determine the grouping candidate UEs as a response to occurrence of a UE request. For example, a UE may request new participation in grouping through UE power-on or activation of an FDR device of a user. Alternatively, a UE may request dropping the FD mode by UE power-off, inactivation of an FDR device of a user, or a remaining power profile less than a reference value.
  • the candidate UE determination period may be determined as an immediate period or a constant set period. Alternatively, when a UE moves between groups, the UE may request a grouping update.
  • the candidate UE determination period may increase by simultaneously using the second method and the third method. In this case, overhead for determining the candidate UEs can be reduced.
  • Grouping update may be requested not only in the case in which a new candidate UE that is to participate in grouping or a UE that desires to stop participating in the FD mode on the same resource is present but also in the case in which UEs that have already been configured as a group move between groups. Operation when a UE moves between groups may be as follows.
  • grouping update is performed with respect to all UEs at every grouping update or at a constant period.
  • the UE may operate in a fallback mode. This corresponds to FD mode participation stop of the FD and the UE drops from a grouping update procedure and operate as a new candidate UE that is to participate in grouping at a next grouping update timing.
  • a new candidate UE that is to participate in grouping may directly transmit a request.
  • the UE may transmit the request by setting the bit for the grouping participation request to ‘1’ and setting the bit indicating whether a corresponding UE has been included in a group to ‘0’.
  • the eNB determines whether a corresponding UE_ID is present in an IDI measurement target list or whether a set group ID is present. When there is a set group ID but ‘0’ is received as the bit indicating whether the UE has been included in a group, the eNB may perform grouping update.
  • step S 2401 the eNB may allocate a frequency for IDI measurement to grouping candidate UEs as illustrated in FIG. 26 .
  • FIG. 26 ( a ) illustrates exemplary allocation of a common frequency fco for IDI measurement to all UEs.
  • all UEs use time for N subframes used when N UEs measure IDI as in step S 1303 .
  • FIG. 26 ( b ) illustrates exemplary allocation of different IDI measurement frequencies in a first time domain and a second time domain.
  • exclusive frequencies f1, f2, and f3 are allocated to respective groups during a partial time. UEs in each group commonly use a frequency allocated to the group.
  • the eNB allocates a common frequency fco for measuring the IDI of the UE to all UEs.
  • B UEs transmit uplink signals during B subframes and the other (3*A+(B ⁇ 1)) UEs receive downlink signals during the same time, thereby performing IDI measurement.
  • a total of (3*A+B) subframes is consumed for IDI measurement and, in the method of FIG. 26( b ) , a total of (A+B) subframes is consumed.
  • the eNB may transmit information about a UE to be changed using the following methods after determining the grouping candidate target UE in step S 2401 .
  • the eNB may inform grouping update target UEs (another new UE that desires to participate in grouping and all UEs in a current group except for a UE that is to stop participating in an FD mode) of the corresponding UE_ID or an IDI measurement target list in which the corresponding UE_ID is included. Such information may be transmitted through a PDCCH or a PDSCH.
  • the IDI measurement target list may include UE_IDs of the grouping update target UEs or UE_IDs of UEs belonging to partial groups.
  • the eNB may transmit the UE_ID or the IDI measurement target list to all UEs in a current group except for a UE that is to stop participating in the FD mode or to a group to which a changed UE belongs. Such information may be transmitted through the PDCCH or the PDSCH.
  • the eNB may transmit the IDI measurement target list through the PDCCH or the PDSCH. Alternatively, the eNB may allocate and transmit a bit indicating that a previous IDI measurement target list should be reused through the PDCCH or the PDSCH.
  • the UE may reuse the previous list. In this case, even when the UE has not received a UE_ID of an FD mode participation stopping UE, since there is no UE_ID during IDI measurement, an IDI measurement value is not present. If a UE that has not received the list has not received a UE_ID of a UE that is to participate in grouping, the UE may determine that there is IDI exceeding a total size of IDI and inform the eNB of the determined result. Alternatively, if a UE has not received the IDI measurement target list, the UE may request that the eNB retransmit the IDI measurement target list.
  • step S 2404 if there are no UEs to be changed with respect to a UE determination period, an IDI measurement period, or an IDI reporting period, which are determined by the eNB, or if there are no UEs to be changed within a predetermined time, a corresponding period may be increased.
  • the eNB may increase the period by checking the case in which group configuration is not additionally changed, an IDI arrangement order in a group is not changed, or a variation occurs in IDI size less than a specific value in a group.
  • the eNB may instruct grouping update target UEs to perform IDI measurement. Then, the UEs may immediately measure IDI. Alternatively, the eNB may instruct partial groups including FD mode participation stopping UEs to perform IDI measurement. Even when there is a measurement period as in step S 2406 , the eNB may instruct a UE to perform IDI measurement. For example, if the measurement period is long and a grouping target UE is not frequently changed, when the grouping target UE is changed, the eNB may instruct the UE to measure IDI.
  • the UE may periodically measure IDI using a measurement/reporting period included in information transmitted by the eNB to the UE in step S 1306 or S 2412 or using a period set as a system parameter. Periodic IDI measurement by the UE may be performed using the following methods.
  • an X time or a Transmit Time Interval (TTI) period is set as a system parameter and IDI for all UEs is measured.
  • TTI Transmit Time Interval
  • a Y time or TTI period different from the X time or TTI is set as the system parameter and IDI only for partial groups in which an FD mode participation stopping UE is included is measured. According to how many grouping target UEs are changed, the case in which Y>X may occur.
  • the above two methods may be simultaneously used and, in this case, overhead for IDI measurement can be reduced.
  • the UE measures IDI using a frequency allocated for IDI measurement in step S 2401 .
  • the UE may deny IDI measurement based on a remaining power profile.
  • the eNB may instruct grouping update target UEs to report measured IDI information. Then, the UEs may immediately report the measured IDI information. The UEs may perform measurement IDI information reporting only for a group in which an IDI arrangement order is changed or a variation in IDI size equal to or greater than a specific value occurs. Even when a period is present as in step S 2409 , if the eNB instructs the UE to perform IDI measurement only for partial groups including FD mode participation stopping UEs, the eNB may instruct the UEs of the corresponding groups to report IDI information.
  • the UE may periodically report UE indexes and IDI Information in the form of step S 134 using a measurement/reporting period included in the information transmitted by the eNB to the UE in steps S 136 and S 2412 or using a period set as a system parameter.
  • Periodic interference information reporting by the UE may be performed as follows.
  • an X time or a TTI period is set as a system parameter and IDI measured for all UEs and UE indexes may be reported.
  • a Y time or a TTI period different from the X time or TTI is set as the system parameter and IDI measured only for partial groups in which FD mode participation stopping UEs are included and UE indexes may be reported. According to how many grouping target UEs are changed, the case in which Y>X may occur.
  • the above two methods may be simultaneously used and, in this case, overhead for IDI information reporting can be reduced.
  • reporting may not be performed in steps S 2409 and S 2410 and, instead, an indicator indicating that reference is made to previous reporting may be transmitted to the eNB through the PUCCH or the PUSCH. In this case, steps S 2411 and S 2412 may be omitted.
  • step S 134 not only information about IDI but also information not based on an IDI measurement value, which may be considered for grouping, may be further transmitted to the eNB.
  • the eNB may perform steps S 2411 and S 2412 by referring to previous reporting by default. Alternatively, steps S 2411 and S 2412 may be omitted.
  • the UE may deny IDI measurement due to a remaining power profile, etc. That is, the UE may not perform transmission of a distinction signal between UEs and a hearing attempt. In this case, a bit indicating that IDI measurement has been denied may be transmitted in steps S 2409 and S 2410 through the PUCCH or the PUSCH.
  • the UE may not perform any reporting and the eNB may check a UE having a remarkably decreased IDI value while waiting for reporting. Through this, the eNB may be aware that the checked UE is the UE that has denied IDI measurement.
  • step S 2411 grouping may be performed using the same method as in S 135 .
  • the eNB may store a previous group ID allocated for each UE.
  • the eNB may check UEs having frequently changed group IDs and may perform the following operations.
  • the eNB may recognize that the UE is located at a boundary between groups.
  • the IDI value measured by this UE may be used as a threshold referenced for grouping.
  • the eNB may be aware that the UE moves. Since IDI measurement/reporting and grouping should always be performed with respect to such a UE, the eNB may remove the UE from the FD mode on the same resource through fallback.
  • Step S 2412 may be performed identically to step S 136 . If a result of performing grouping in step S 2411 is not changed, a signal indicating that grouping information transmitted previously to UEs should be maintained may be transmitted to UEs belonging to a group having an unchanged grouping result. This information may be indicated by allocating one bit through the DCI format of a PDCCH or through a PDSCH.
