Claim:
A method for performing communication using a half-frequency division duplex (H-FDD) frame structure in a mobile communication system, the method comprising: transceiving signals by each group mobile station (MS) using the H-FDD frame structure in which the order of a downlink zone and an uplink zone is allocated to one group and the reverse order thereof is allocated to another group, wherein the downlink zone or uplink zone allocated to each group MS in the H-FDD frame structure includes a subframe in which at least one symbol is allocated to an idle time or punctured, and the each group MS transmits and receives signals using the remaining symbols other than the symbol allocated to the idle time or punctured in the subframe, and wherein the subframe in which at least one symbol is allocated to the idle time or punctured is located in the boundary region where the downlink zone or the uplink zone is switched from one group MS to another group MS.
