METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING SIGNAL BY USING VARIABLE BAND WIDTH IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18414823 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING/RECEIVING SIGNAL BY USING VARIABLE BAND WIDTH IN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving a signal using a variable bandwidth in a communication system. The method involves receiving configuration information about guard bands in an unlicensed band from a base station, confirming the guard bands in the unlicensed band based on the received information, and confirming sets of resource blocks (RB) configured in the unlicensed band based on the guard bands.

Original Abstract Submitted
A method and an apparatus for transmitting/receiving a signal by using a variable band width in a communication system are disclosed. An operating method of a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, first configuration information about one or more guard bands of an unlicensed band; confirming the one or more guard bands configured in the unlicensed band on the basis of the first configuration information; and confirming a plurality of RB sets configured in the unlicensed band on the basis of the one or more guard bands. Therefore, performance of the communication system can be improved.
