    Abstract: A method for transmitting and receiving slot setting information in a communication system is disclosed. An operating method of a UE comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, a first upper layer message including SFI for indicating a format of a slot; receiving, from the base station, DCI or a second upper layer message for indicating a use of a flexible symbol belonging to the slot set by the SFI; and determining the flexible symbol belonging to the slot as a DL symbol or a UL symbol on the basis of the second upper layer message or the DCI. Therefore, a performance of a communication system can be improved.

  • Patent number: 10992956
    Abstract: Disclosed are an image encoding method using a skip mode and a device using the method. The image encoding method may comprise the steps of: judging whether there is residual block data of a prediction target block on the basis of predetermined data indicating whether residual block data has been encoded; and, if there is residual block data, restoring the prediction target block on the basis of the residual block data and an intra-screen predictive value of the prediction target block. Consequently, encoding and decoding efficiency can be increased by carrying out the encoding and decoding of screen residual data only for prediction target blocks where there is a need for a residual data block in accordance with screen similarity.
