Abstract

Disclosed is a method for supporting a dynamic-time division duplex (D-TDD) downlink-uplink configuration in a wireless communication system and to an apparatus therefor. A method in which a first network node supports a dynamic-time division duplex (D-TDD) downlink-uplink configuration according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a step of selecting two or more TDD downlink-uplink configurations from among a plurality of predefined TDD downlink-uplink configurations based on a predetermined rule so as to establish a set of TDD downlink-uplink configurations, wherein the predetermined rule may enable the selection of two or more TDD downlink-uplink configurations from a number of downlink subframe durations constituted by subframes other than a downlink subframe, or from a number of uplink subframe durations constituted by subframes other than an uplink subframe.
