METHOD FOR ESTIMATING ABS ZONE IN WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR SAME

摘要

Disclosed in the present invention are a method for estimating an almost blank subframe (ABS) zone in a wireless access system in which a macro cell and a pico cell coexist, and an apparatus for same. More specifically, the present invention comprises the steps of: measuring reference signal received power (RSRP) by using a cell-specific reference signal which is inserted into a subframe of the macro cell; and determining whether the format of the subframe is a multicast broadcast single frequency network (MBSFN) ABS by comparing an RSRP measurement value from a zeroth orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol of the subframe, and an RSRP measurement value from a symbol that is not the zeroth OFDM symbol.
