Abstract: A method for indicating preemption in a communication system is disclosed. A method for operating a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, information indicating a first resource area, to which a preemption-capable resource belongs, for transmission of first data; receiving resource allocation information of second data from the base station; performing a monitoring operation for detecting a PI indicating a preempted resource for transmission of the first data in the first resource area, when the first resource area overlaps with a second resource area indicated by the resource allocation information; and performing decoding on the basis of the detected PI. Therefore, the performance of the communication system may be improved.

Abstract: A force absorbing device for a footwear appliance includes a shoe upper and a shoe sole having a planar sole surface, such that forces between the shoe upper and planar sole surface in ground contact are absorbed by force mitigation structures disposed in the shoe sole. A footwear article includes a split-sole system that redefines a shoe sole as coplanar surfaces having a force mitigating interface for receiving sudden forces and effectively mitigating these forces by storing kinetic energy and releasing it over time. An elastic field in the force mitigation structure is defined by a resilient material adapted to deform in response to the received force. Frictional engagement between the upper and lower sole may also be augmented by surface characteristics such as dimples, voids and lubricants, in addition to interference engagement with an elastic field.
