METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING SIGNAL IN RELAY STATION

摘要

A method of a Relay Station (RS) transmitting and receiving a signal in a wireless communication system including the RS, comprising receiving frame configuration information about an RS frame from a Base Station (BS), configuring a downlink (DL) access zone in which a signal is transmitted to a relay Mobile Station (MS) connected to the RS and a DL relay zone in which a signal is received from the BS in the RS frame on the basis of the frame configuration information, comparing a time necessary to switch an operation from the DL access zone to the DL relay zone and a propagation delay time taken to receive the signal from the BS, configuring some symbols of the DL access zone or the DL relay zone as a transition time according to a result of the comparison, transmitting the signal to the relay MS in the DL access zone, and receiving the signal from the BS in the DL relay zone.
