Can be defined in Table 1 below.

[Table 1]

Next, a bandwidth part (BWP) setting in the 5G communication system will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5 .

5 is a diagram showing an example of setting for a bandwidth portion in a 5G communication system.

5 shows an example in which the UE bandwidth 500 is set to two bandwidth parts, that is, bandwidth part # 1 (BWP # 1) 501 and bandwidth part # 2 (BWP # 2) 502. has been The base station may set one or a plurality of bandwidth parts to the terminal, and may set information such as Table 2 below for each bandwidth part. The following BWP may be referred to as BWP setting information.

[Table 2]

Of course, it is not limited to the above example, and various parameters related to the bandwidth part may be set in the terminal in addition to the setting information. The information may be transmitted from the base station to the terminal through higher layer signaling, for example, RRC signaling. At least one bandwidth part among one or a plurality of set bandwidth parts may be activated. Whether or not the set bandwidth portion is activated may be semi-statically transmitted from the base station to the terminal through RRC signaling or dynamically transmitted through downlink control information (DCI).

According to some embodiments, a terminal before RRC connection may receive an initial bandwidth portion (initial BWP) for initial access from a base station through a master information block (MIB). More specifically, in the initial access step, the terminal receives system information (remaining system information; RMSI or system information block 1; may correspond to SIB1) necessary for initial access through the MIB. PDCCH for reception can be transmitted Setting information on a control resource set (CORESET) and a search space (search space) may be received. The control resource set and search space set by MIB can be regarded as identity (ID) 0, respectively. The base station may notify the terminal of setting information such as frequency allocation information, time allocation information, and numerology for the control resource set #0 through the MIB. In addition, the base station may notify the terminal of setting information on the monitoring period and occasion for the control resource set #0, that is, setting information on the search space #0, through the MIB. The terminal may regard the frequency domain set as the control resource set #0 acquired from the MIB as an initial bandwidth part for initial access. At this time, the identifier (ID) of the initial bandwidth part may be regarded as 0.

For MIB information, refer to the examples in Table 3 below. The terminal can identify a CORESET#0 (Control Resource Set #0) to which a PDCCH scheduling a PDSCH to which a System Information Block (SIB1) is transmitted can be transmitted through the value of the PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 parameter included in the received MIB. .

[Table 3]

The setting for the portion of the bandwidth supported by 5G can be used for various purposes.

According to some embodiments, when the bandwidth supported by the terminal is smaller than the system bandwidth, it can be supported through the bandwidth portion setting. For example, when the base station sets the frequency position (configuration information 2) of the bandwidth part to the terminal, the terminal can transmit and receive data at a specific frequency position within the system bandwidth.

Also, according to some embodiments, the base station may set a plurality of bandwidth parts to the terminal for the purpose of supporting different numerologies. For example, in order to support both data transmission and reception using a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz and a subcarrier spacing of 30 kHz to a terminal, two bandwidth parts may be set to subcarrier spacings of 15 kHz and 30 kHz, respectively. Different bandwidth parts may be frequency division multiplexed, and when data is to be transmitted/received at a specific subcarrier interval, a bandwidth portion set at a corresponding subcarrier interval may be activated.

Also, according to some embodiments, for the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the terminal, the base station may set bandwidth parts having different sizes of bandwidth to the terminal. For example, when a terminal supports a very large bandwidth, for example, a bandwidth of 100 MHz and always transmits and receives data with the corresponding bandwidth, very large power consumption may occur. In particular, monitoring an unnecessary downlink control channel with a large bandwidth of 100 MHz in the absence of traffic may be very inefficient in terms of power consumption. For the purpose of reducing power consumption of the terminal, the base station may set a bandwidth part of a relatively small bandwidth, for example, a bandwidth part of 20 MHz for the terminal. In a situation where there is no traffic, the terminal can perform a monitoring operation in the 20 MHz bandwidth part, and when data is generated, it can transmit and receive data in the 100 MHz bandwidth part according to the instructions of the base station.

In the method of setting the bandwidth part, terminals before RRC connection (connected) may receive setting information on the initial bandwidth part (initial bandwidth part) through the MIB in the initial access step. More specifically, the terminal may receive a control resource set (CORESET) for a downlink control channel through which a DCI for scheduling the SIB may be transmitted from the MIB of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH). The bandwidth of the control resource set set as the MIB may be regarded as an initial bandwidth part, and the terminal may receive the PDSCH through which the SIB is transmitted through the set initial bandwidth part. The initial bandwidth portion may be used for other system information (OSI), paging, and random access in addition to the purpose of receiving the SIB.

6 is a diagram illustrating an example in which frequency and time resources are allocated for information transmission in an NR system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 6 , it is possible to check how frequency and time resources are allocated for information transmission in each system. First, resources for data for eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC are allocated in the entire system frequency band (600). Resources (601) allocated for eMBB and resources (609) allocated for mMTC are allocated in a specific frequency band and URLLC data (603, 605, 607) are generated and transmission is required while being transmitted, allocated for eMBB The URLLC data 603, 605, and 607 may be transmitted without emptying the previously allocated resources 601 and the resources 609 allocated for mMTC or without transmission. Among the above services, since URLLC needs to reduce latency, URLLC data can be allocated (603, 605, 607) to a part of the resource 601 allocated for eMBB and transmitted. Of course, when URLLC is additionally allocated and transmitted in the resource 601 allocated for eMBB, eMBB data may not be transmitted in overlapping frequency-time resources, and thus transmission performance of eMBB data may be lowered. That is, in the above case, eMBB data transmission failure may occur due to URLLC allocation.

In addition, the entire system frequency band 620 can be divided and used to transmit services and data in each subband 622 , 624 , and 626 . Information related to the subband configuration may be determined in advance, and the base station may transmit this information to the terminal through higher level signaling. Alternatively, the information related to the subband may be arbitrarily divided by the base station or the network node to provide services to the terminal without transmitting separate subband configuration information. Subband 622 is used for eMBB data transmission (608), subband 624 is used for URLLC data transmission (610, 612, 614), and subband 626 is used for mMTC data transmission (616).

Throughout the embodiments, the length of the transmission time interval (TTI) used for URLLC transmission may be shorter than the TTI length used for eMBB or mMTC transmission. In addition, the response of information related to URLLC can be transmitted faster than eMBB or mMTC, and thus information can be transmitted and received with low delay. The structure of a physical layer channel used for each type to transmit the three services or data may be different. For example, at least one of a length of a transmission time interval (TTI), a frequency resource allocation unit, a structure of a control channel, and a data mapping method may be different.

Although three services and three types of data have been described above, more types of services and corresponding data may exist, and the content of the present invention may also be applied in this case. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing how synchronization signals and physical broadcasting channels of an NR system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure are mapped in frequency and time domains.

In the 5G communication system, SSB (Synchronization Signal Block) is provided for synchronization (time / frequency) of the terminal. The one SSB may include a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) 701, a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) 703), and a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH) 705. A base station supporting the 5G communication system may transmit at least one SSB. A terminal supporting the 5G communication system may perform synchronization with the base station by receiving at least one SSB. An SSB composed of PSS 701, SSS 703, and PBCH 705 is mapped over 4 OFDM symbols on the time axis. PSS 701 and SSS 703 are mapped to 12 RBs on the frequency axis, and PBCH 705 is mapped to 20 RBs on the frequency axis. Since one RB includes 12 subcarriers, when the subcarrier spacing (SCS) changes, the size of the RB changes, and when the size of the RB changes, the size of the frequency band occupied by 12RB and 20RB may change. there is. The table of FIG. 7 shows how the frequency band (size of SSB frequency band) of 20 RBs changes according to the subcarrier spacing. When the SCS is 15 kHz, the frequency band of one SSB has a bandwidth of 15 kHz * 12 * 20 = 3.6 MHz, and when the SCS is 30 kHz, one SSB has a bandwidth of 30 kHz * 12 * 20 = 7.2 MHz. A resource region in which the PSS 701, SSS 703, and PBCH 705 are transmitted may be referred to as an SS/PBCH block. Also, the SS/PBCH block may be referred to as an SSB block.

The terminal may obtain information (eg, PDCCH-ConfigSIB1) for a PDCCH for receiving system information (eg, SIB1) necessary for initial access through the MIB of the PBCH. PDCCH-COnfigSIB1 may include configuration information about a control resource set (CORESET) through which the PDCCH can be transmitted and a search space. The control resource set and search space set by the MIB can be regarded as CORESET#0 and search space #0, respectively. The base station transmits frequency allocation information (for example, the number of RBs), time allocation information (for example, the number of symbols), numerology, and the first SSB of the control resource set #0 through the MIB to the terminal. Setting information such as an offset between an index of a common RB overlapping an RB and the smallest RB of CORESET#0 may be notified. In addition, the base station may notify the terminal of setting information on the monitoring period and occasion for the control resource set #0, that is, setting information on the search space #0, through the MIB.

Meanwhile, according to the current standard, the minimum number of RBs that can be set with CORESET#0 is 24, and the minimum interval of subcarrier intervals that can be set is 15 kHz. Therefore, when 15 kHz is used as the subcarrier interval, the minimum bandwidth of CORESET#0 may have 4.32 MHz (15 kHz * 12 * 24).

Considering the aforementioned minimum bandwidth (3.6 MHz) of SSB and minimum bandwidth (4.32 MHz) of CORESET#0, a bandwidth smaller than 4.32 MHz (e.g., 3 MHz to 4 MHz, but not limited to, less than 3 MHz bandwidth) may be) has a problem that cannot be operated because the size is smaller than the minimum bandwidth of SSB or the minimum bandwidth of CORESET#0. Therefore, a solution for operating a service in a small bandwidth cannot be upgraded to a NR network in a system such as LTE.

Various embodiments of the present invention provide a method of newly defining a subcarrier interval smaller than 15 kHz and changing and setting various parameters according to changes in SSB design and subcarrier interval when this is defined.

In various embodiments of the present disclosure, a new subcarrier spacing supported by the mobile communication system may be added. The new subcarrier spacing may be a subcarrier spacing smaller than 15 kHz, for example, 7.5 kHz (μ = -1), 3.75 kHz (μ = -2), and the like. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the subcarrier spacing is 7.5 kHz, but various embodiments of the present invention can be applied to various subcarrier spacings smaller than 7.5 kHz.

8 is a diagram illustrating an SSB configuration according to subcarrier intervals according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The general configuration and contents of the SSB refer to the description of FIG. 7 . Referring to FIG. 8, it can be seen that the SSB bandwidth size and symbol size are different when the subcarrier interval is 15 kHz and when the subcarrier interval is 7.5 kHz. That is, the number of RBs constituting the SSB (20) and the number of OFDM symbols (4) are the same, but since the subcarrier spacing and the size of the OFDM symbol are different, the size of the frequency axis of the SSB and the time axis of the SSB You can see that the size changes. Specifically, when the subcarrier spacing is reduced from 15 kHz to 7.5 kHz, the size of the frequency axis of the SSB is reduced by 1/2, and the size of the time axis of the SSB is doubled.

A base station according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may generate and transmit channels and signals at a subcarrier spacing (μ) of 7.5 kHz. For example, the base station may generate and transmit by setting the subcarrier spacing of subcarriers used for transmission of each signal and channel included in SSB (PSS, SSS, PBCH) to 7.5 kHz. Accordingly, the bandwidth of SSB can be 7.5kHz * 12 * 20 = 1.8MHz.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a subcarrier interval for CORESET#0 may be set according to the subcarrier interval of SSB. The base station may set the subcarrier spacing of CORESET#0 corresponding to the subcarrier spacing of SSB (the subcarrier spacing of SSB and the subcarrier spacing of CORESET#0 may be the same). For example, if the subcarrier interval of the SSB is 7.5 kHz, the base station may set the resource of CORESET#0 to 7.5 kHz and transmit the setting for CORESET#0 to the terminal. In addition, the base station may set the subcarrier spacing of a subcarrier to which the PDCCH transmitted through the CORESET#0 is mapped to 7.5 kHz, generate control information, and transmit it through the PDCCH. When a subcarrier spacing of 7.5 kHz is applied, the minimum bandwidth of CORESET#0 may be 7.5 kHz * 12 * 24 = 2.16 MHz. Information on the subcarrier interval for the CORESET#0 may be included in the MIB or PDCCH-ConfigSIB1 of the MIB and transmitted. For example, the information on the subcarrier interval is whether or not the subcarrier interval of SSB and the subcarrier interval of CORESET#0 are the same (eg, indicating whether they are identical using 1-bit information), multiple relationship (n bits It may include at least one of information such as indicating a multiple relationship such as 1/2, 1, 2, 4 times, etc. using information.

A base station according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may identify (identify, obtain) a frequency bandwidth of a frequency band to be operated in the base station. If the frequency bandwidth is less than or less than a specific threshold, the base station can generate and transmit channels and signals using a subcarrier interval smaller than 15 kHz (eg, 7.5 kHz). In addition, a base station according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may identify a frequency band to be operated in the base station. If the identified frequency band is a specific frequency band (eg, band 8) or less than a preset bandwidth (eg, a band for supporting a bandwidth of 5 MHz or less), a subcarrier interval of a size smaller than 15 kHz Channels and signals can be created and transmitted using . For example, the base station may generate an SSB based on the determined subcarrier interval and create settings for CORESET#0.

A terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may receive and process channels and signals transmitted using a subcarrier spacing (μ) of 7.5 kHz. For example, the terminal may receive and process subcarrier spacing assuming that the subcarrier used for transmission of each signal and channel included in the SSB (PSS, SSS, PBCH) is 7.5 kHz. The UE may determine the subcarrier spacing assumed for reception and processing of SSB (PSS, SSS, PBCH) according to the operating frequency band and / or bandwidth. For example, when the frequency band to which the terminal wants to access corresponds to a specific frequency band (e.g. band 8) or a band supporting a bandwidth less than or equal to a preset bandwidth, the terminal determines that the subcarrier interval used in the corresponding band is 7.5 kHz. , and assuming that a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz or more is used in other frequency bands, signals and data may be received and processed in the corresponding band. For example, if the frequency band corresponds to a specific frequency band (e.g. band 8) or a band supporting a bandwidth less than or equal to a preset bandwidth, the UE assumes that the SSB subcarrier spacing is 7.5 kHz (not limited to 7.5 kHz). subcarrier spacing smaller than 7.5 kHz may be used) SSB is received and SSB processing is successful, subcarrier spacing of CORESET#0 resource is assumed to be 7.5 kHz (not limited to 7.5 kHz, smaller than 7.5 kHz subcarrier spacing may be used) The resource of CORESET#0 can be identified (identify, obtain). The subcarrier spacing of CORESET#0 may follow the subcarrier spacing of SSB, or may be determined based on information about the subcarrier spacing for CORESET#0 included in the MIB.

9 is a diagram showing which symbols within a slot the one SS/PBCH block is mapped to according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 9, an example of a conventional LTE system using a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz and an NR system using a subcarrier spacing of 30 kHz are shown, and a cell-specific reference signal always transmitted in the LTE system , CRSs) are designed to be transmitted in positions (901, 903, 905, 907) of the NR system SS/PBCH blocks (911, 913, 915, 917). This may be to allow the LTE system and the NR system to coexist in one frequency band.

10 is a diagram illustrating a problem caused by different subcarrier intervals in different communication systems according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 10, when LTE uses a subcarrier interval of 15 kHz and when a subcarrier smaller than 15 kHz (eg, 7.5 kHz) is used according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, SSB and CRS of LTE overlapping problems can be identified. CRSs transmitted in the 0th, 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 11th OFDM symbols of every subframe of the LTE carrier are transmitted. Although the CRS and SSB do not overlap in the embodiment of FIG. 9 , when a small subcarrier interval is used in the embodiment of FIG. 10 , a problem in which the CRS and SSB overlap may occur in some symbols.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to solve the above problem, the SSB may not be mapped to the resource to which the CRS is mapped in a symbol in which the SSB overlaps with the CRS. The NR base station may puncture a resource to which the CRS is mapped, and map an SSB to a resource to which the CRS is not mapped. To this end, the LTE base station and the NR base station operating the corresponding band may provide each other with information on resources through which the SSB is transmitted and resources through which the CRS is transmitted, and the problem of overlapping resources can be solved using this.

In addition, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to solve the above problem, an LTE base station may not transmit a CRS in a mapped resource to which an SSB is mapped. Since the LTE base station does not transmit the CRS in a specific frequency band of a specific symbol, the problem of overlapping CRS and SSB can be solved. To this end, the LTE base station and the NR base station operating the band can provide each other with information on resources through which SSB is transmitted and resources through which CRS is transmitted, and using this, SSB resources and CRS resources overlap. can solve

In addition, in order to solve the above problem, the SSB structure may be partially adjusted. An embodiment of adjusting the SSB structure will be described with reference to FIG. 11 .

11 is a diagram illustrating a structure of a discontinuous SSB according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 11, PSS, PBCH, and SSS of SSB are not mapped to consecutive symbols, but may be configured to be mapped to discontinuous symbols within one slot. That is, referring to the SSB structure of FIG. 7, the SSB in NR basically consists of 4 consecutive OFDM symbols. However, as described in FIG. 10, in order to solve a problem caused by a change in subcarrier interval, SSBs can be configured to be mapped to discontinuous symbols instead of contiguous symbols. In the embodiment of FIG. 11, the order in which PSS, PBCH, SSS, and PBCH are mapped in OFDM symbols is maintained, but when configuring discontinuous SSBs, the SSB structure is not limited thereto and the mapping order of PSS, SSS, and PBCH is changed. SSB can be configured by doing so.

12 is a diagram illustrating symbols in which SS/PBCH blocks can be transmitted according to subcarrier intervals according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 12, the subcarrier interval may be set to 15 kHz, 30 kHz, 120 kHz, 240 kHz, etc., and the position of a symbol where an SS/PBCH block (or SSB block) may be located may be determined according to each subcarrier interval. FIG. 12 shows positions of symbols in which SSBs can be transmitted according to subcarrier intervals in symbols within 1 ms, and SSBs do not always have to be transmitted in the area shown in FIG. 12 . Accordingly, the location where the SSB block is transmitted may be configured in the UE through system information or dedicated signaling.

13 is another diagram illustrating symbols capable of transmitting SS/PBCH blocks according to subcarrier intervals according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Each of at least one SSB (s) transmitted during one half frame (5 msec) through the 5G communication system may have an index of 0 to L _max -1 in ascending order. L _max means the maximum number of transmittable SSBs, which can be defined for each band (band-specific). For example, it may be equal to 4 in a band of 3 GHz or less, 8 in a band of 3 to 6 GHz, and 64 in a band of 6 GHz or higher.

Referring to FIG. 13, the subcarrier interval may be set to 15 kHz, 30 kHz, 120 kHz, 240 kHz, etc., and the position of a symbol where an SS/PBCH block (or SSB block) may be located may be determined according to each subcarrier interval. FIG. 13 shows positions of symbols in which SSB blocks can be transmitted according to subcarrier intervals in symbols within 5 ms, and the positions where the SSB blocks are transmitted are transmitted to the terminal through system information or dedicated signaling. can be set on In a region where the SS/PBCH block can be transmitted, the SS/PBCH block does not always have to be transmitted, and may or may not be transmitted according to the selection of the base station. Accordingly, the location where the SSB block is transmitted may be configured in the UE through system information or dedicated signaling.

According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, when a subcarrier spacing smaller than 15 kHz is used, for example, when 7.5 kHz is used as the subcarrier spacing of SSB, when the same number of Lmax is used, 15 kHz In this case, since most of the half frame is used for SSB transmission, it can be a problem.

Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when a subcarrier spacing smaller than 15 kHz is used, the Lmax value may be set to have a value smaller than 4. For example, a value of 1 or 2 may be used as the Lmax value. In this case (when a subcarrier interval smaller than 15 kHz is used, for example, when 7.5 kHz is used), the maximum number of SSBs transmittable within a half frame may be 1 or 2.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the Lmax value may be determined based on a bandwidth of a frequency band and/or a carrier. For example, when the bandwidth of a carrier is smaller than a preset threshold (eg, smaller than 5 MHz, smaller than 4 MHz, etc.), 1 or 2 may be used as the Lmax value. In addition, when the frequency band is a preset band (eg, band 8 or a band using a bandwidth less than the preset bandwidth), 1 or 2 may be used as the Lmax value.

The base station and/or the terminal may determine and use an Lmax value suitable for the subcarrier interval in the same way as above.

Next, a time domain mapping period of the SSB according to various embodiments of the present disclosure will be described.

The terminal of the 5G communication system assumes that SSB transmission has a period of 2 frames (20 msec) in the initial cell selection process and can operate. And, after initial access, the base station may provide the terminal with a period of the SSB transmitted from the serving cell through higher layer signaling (e.g. RRC signaling, MAC CE, etc.). Table 4 below shows information included in the ServingCellConfigCommon IE (Information Element), and the SSB period can be provided to the terminal through the value of ssb-periodicityServingCell included in the ServingCellConfigCommon IE. If the ssb-periodicityServingCell parameter is not included in the IE, the UE can understand/assume the value of ms5 (5msec).

[Table 4]

Similarly, the SSB period may be provided to the UE through the value of ssb-PeriodicityServingCell included in the ServingCellConfigCommonSIB IE. Table 5 shows information included in the ServingCellConfigCommonSIB IE.

[Table 5]

The minimum period value of the SSB that can be set through the ssb-PeriodicityServingCell is 5 msec. If the SSB is transmitted with a period of 5 msec when μ = 7.5 kHz, a problem in that many time resources are allocated to the SSB may occur. (If L _max =4, SSB occupies 4msec)

Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, some values (e.g. ms5) as the minimum value of the SSB transmission period set and transmitted by the base station (ServingCellConfigCommon, ServingCellConfigCommonSIB) are when the subcarrier interval used in the SSB is 7.5 kHz or smaller. may not be allowed. That is, when the subcarrier interval of the SSB according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is 7.5 kHz (or a value smaller than 7.5 kHz), the base station selects other values (eg, excluding some of the existing values (eg ms5)) as the transmission period of the SSB. e.g. ms10, ms20, ms40, ms80, ms160) can be set and transmitted. That is, the minimum transmission period of the configurable SSB may be 10 ms or greater. If ssb-periodicityServingCell (or ssb-PeriodicityServingCell) is omitted, the default value may be 10 ms or a value greater than 10 ms.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a UE receiving a ServingCellConfigCommon (or ServingCellConfigCommonSIB) IE in which the ssb-periodicityServingCell (or ssb-PeriodicityServingCell) parameter is missing, when the subcarrier interval used in the SSB is 7.5 kHz or less, SSB The period of can be understood/assumed to be a specific value. The specific value may be determined as a minimum value (e.g. ms10) among remaining values except for some values (e.g. ms5) excluded in the embodiment. For example, the specific value may be set to 10 ms or a value greater than 10 ms.

In addition, when the subcarrier interval used in the SSB is 7.5 kHz or smaller, the SSB transmission period during initial access is longer than 2 frames (e.g. 40 msec, 4 frames) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. frame), and can operate.

Next, timing related parameters according to various embodiments of the present disclosure are defined. When a subcarrier interval smaller than 15 kHz is used according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, it may be necessary to change timing-related parameters to support this.

In the 5G communication system, the time required for processing each of the various channels is defined. The time required for the processing is defined for each channel by the capability of the terminal and numerology (subcarrier spacing μ).

The time required for PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) preparation (N ₂ ) is shown in Table 6 (Table 1 PUSCH preparation time for PUSCH timing capability 1) and Table 7 (Table 2 PUSCH preparation time for PUSCH timing) below. capability 2), it may be defined for each capability and numerology (subcarrier spacing μ) of the terminal.

[Table 6]

[Table 7]

Although not shown in Tables 6 and 7 above, when a subcarrier spacing smaller than 15 kHz is used as the subcarrier spacing, the additional N ₂ value may be used as a value smaller than or equal to the preset value, for example, 15 If kHz is used, values less than or equal to may be used. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when μ =7.5kHz (μ = -1), the PUSCH preparation time (N ₂ ) for PUSCH timing capability 1 is a value included in [N _2,min,cap1 , 10] one of, one of the values contained in [N _2,min,cap1 , 10), one of the values contained in (N _2,min,cap1 , 10], or (N _2,min,cap1 , 10 ) In addition, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when μ =7.5kHz (μ = -1), the PUSCH preparation time (N ₂ ) for PUSCH timing capability 2 is One of the values contained in [N _2,min,cap2 , 5], one of the values contained in [N _2,min,cap2 , 5), the value contained in (N _2,min,cap2 , 5] It may be determined as one of the values included in, or (N _2,min,cap2 , 5).

The terminal and/or the base station may process the PUSCH using the PUSCH preparation time determined as described above.

The time (N ₁ ) required for the processing procedure of PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) is Table 8 (PDSCH processing time for PDSCH processing capability 1) and Table 9 (PDSCH processing time for PDSCH processing capability 2) ), it is defined for each capability and numerology (subcarrier spacing μ) of the terminal.

[Table 8]

[Table 9]

Although not shown in Tables 8 and 9 above, when a subcarrier spacing smaller than 15 kHz is used as the subcarrier spacing, the additional N ₁ value may be used as a value smaller than or equal to the preset value, for example, 15 If kHz is used, values less than or equal to may be used. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when μ =7.5kHz (μ = -1), PDSCH processing time (N ₁ ) for PDSCH processing capability 1 is a value included in [N _1,min,cap1 , 8] one of, one of the values contained in [N _1,min,cap1 , 8), one of the values contained in (N _1,min,cap1 , 8], or (N _1,min,cap1 , 8 According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when μ =7.5kHz (μ = -1), the PDSCH processing time (N ₁ ) for PDSCH processing capability 2 is [N One of the values contained in _1,min,cap2 , 3], one of the values contained in [N _1,min,cap2 , 3), one of the values contained in (N _1,min,cap2 , 3] , or one of the values included in (N _1,min,cap2 , 3).

The terminal and/or the base station may process the PDCCH using the PDCCH processing time determined as above.

Preparation for PDSCH reception when PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) and PDSCH have different numerologies (subcarrier spacing μ) and the carrier on which PDCCH is transmitted differs from the carrier on which PDSCH is transmitted (ie, cross-carrier scheduling) (reception preparation) time (N _pdsch ) is defined for each numerology (subcarrier spacing μ) as shown in Table 10 (N _pdsch as a function of the subcarrier spacing of the scheduling PDCCH).

[Table 10]

Although not shown in Table 10, when a subcarrier spacing smaller than 15 kHz is used as the subcarrier spacing, the additional N _PDSCH value may be used as a value smaller than or equal to the preset value, for example, 15 kHz is used In this case, a value less than or equal to may be used. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a PDSCH have different numerologies (numerology, subcarrier spacing μ = 7.5 kHz, μ = -1), and the carrier on which the PDCCH is transmitted and the PDSCH are transmitted. When the carriers used are different (ie, cross-carrier scheduling), the PDSCH reception preparation time (N _pdsch ) is one of the values included in [N _pdsch,min , 4], [N _pdsch,min , 4 ), one of the values included in (N _pdsch,min , 4], or one of the values included in (N _pdsch,min , 4).

As such, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, as a new subcarrier interval is used (eg, μ =7.5kHz (μ = -1)), parameters related to timing (N ₂ , N ₁ , N _pdsch ) may be newly defined, and the newly defined values may be less than or equal to each of the corresponding values (N ₂ , N ₁ , N _pdsch ) when the subcarrier spacing is 15 kHz (μ = 0), and a specific value ( A particular value can have a value of a rational number greater than zero).

Also, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, new values may be defined for various parameters defined in Table 11 according to the use of a new subcarrier interval. (Explained based on 7.5 kHz, but not limited thereto)

[Table 11]

14 is a diagram illustrating an operation of a terminal according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

In operation 1410, the terminal can check whether the band it wants to access is a preset band or whether the size of the frequency band it wants to access is smaller than the preset bandwidth. For example, the terminal may check whether the preset band is a specific band (eg, band 8) using a small bandwidth or whether a preset bandwidth (eg, a bandwidth smaller than 5 MHz) is used. Alternatively, if the terminal is set to access only a preset band according to the terminal settings or the type of terminal, or if the terminal is set to use a bandwidth smaller than the preset bandwidth, it can be determined that the condition of operation 1410 is satisfied. .

When it is determined in operation 1410 that a preset band or a bandwidth smaller than the preset bandwidth is used, in operation 1420, the terminal may determine that an SCS smaller than the preset SCS should be used in the corresponding band. For example, the preset SCS may be 15 kHz, and the SCS smaller than 15 kHz may be 7.5 kHz, 3.75 kHz, and the like.

In operation 1430, the UE may obtain or detect the SSB assuming that the SSB transmitted by the base station is generated and transmitted considering an SCS smaller than the preset SCS. For a specific configuration of the SSB, refer to the configuration of the SSB according to various embodiments of the present invention. In addition, the terminal can receive and identify resources for CORESET#0 using a smaller SCS than the preset SCS.

In operation 1440, the terminal may perform communication with the base station. The terminal can control transmission and reception of the data channel by applying a processing time considering the SCS of the frequency band operated by the terminal. For specific examples of processing time, refer to the configuration of processing time according to various embodiments of the present invention.

15 is a diagram illustrating an operation of a base station according to various embodiments of the present disclosure.

In operation 1510, the base station may check whether the band to be operated is a preset band or whether the size of the frequency band to be operated is smaller than the preset bandwidth. For example, the base station may check whether the preset band is a specific band (eg, band 8) using a small bandwidth or whether a preset bandwidth (eg, a bandwidth smaller than 5 MHz) is used.

If it is determined in operation 1510 that a preset band or a bandwidth smaller than the preset bandwidth is used, in operation 1520, the base station may determine that an SCS smaller than the preset SCS should be used in the corresponding band. For example, the preset SCS may be 15 kHz, and the SCS smaller than 15 kHz may be 7.5 kHz, 3.75 kHz, and the like.

In operation 1530, the base station may generate and transmit an SSB. The base station may generate or configure an SSB for an SCS smaller than a preset SCS. For a specific configuration of the SSB, refer to the configuration of the SSB according to various embodiments of the present invention.

As described above, according to the current standard, the minimum number of RBs that can be set with CORESET#0 is 24, and the minimum interval of subcarrier intervals that can be set is 15 kHz. Therefore, when 15 kHz is used as the subcarrier interval, the minimum bandwidth of CORESET#0 may have 4.32 MHz (15 kHz * 12 * 24). A bandwidth smaller than 4.32 MHz (eg, 3 MHz to 4 MHz, but not limited thereto, may be a bandwidth smaller than 3 MHz) is smaller than the minimum bandwidth of CORESET#0, so there may be problems that cannot be operated. there is.

The first embodiment proposes a method for supporting the configuration of CORESET #0 in a small bandwidth. In the first embodiment, the small bandwidth may mean a bandwidth smaller than 5 MHz. As a specific example, the small bandwidth may mean a bandwidth smaller than 4.32 MHz, which is the minimum bandwidth of CORESET#0. In addition, that the carrier bandwidth corresponds to a small bandwidth may mean that the carrier bandwidth is smaller than 5 MHz (specific example, 4.32 MHz).

[Method 2]

As described above, the terminal receiving and processing the PDCCH in CORESET#0 can process CORESET#0 on the assumption that CCE is mapped to REG in an interleaved mapping scheme. However, when the CCE-to-REG mapping of CORESET#0 is interleaved in a small bandwidth, a problem may occur in which at least some REG(s) included in one CCE are not included in the carrier bandwidth.

If the terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is below a specific threshold in the frequency band to be accessed or a channel bandwidth smaller than the specific threshold is used, the terminal indicates that the CCE-to-REG mapping of CORESET#0 is not interleaved.

The UE may assume that SSS, PBCH DM-RS, and PBCH data have the same energy per resource element (EPRE). In addition, the UE may assume that the ratio of PSS EPRE to SSS EPRE in the SS/PBCH block is 0 dB or 3 dB. A UE monitoring a PDCCH transmitting a DCI format 1_0 in which a CRC is scrambled by SI-RNTI, P-RNTI, or RA-RNTI transmits a PDCCH DMRS EPRE ratio to SSS EPRE if not separately configured through higher layer signaling (the It can be assumed that the ratio of PDCCH DMRS EPRE to SSS EPRE) has a value within -8dB to 8dB.

In the case of a specific frequency band and / or a specific frequency bandwidth (eg, a band for supporting a bandwidth of 5 MHz or less), it may be allowed to use only a subcarrier spacing (SCS) of 15 kHz for the SS / PBCH block there is. Since the SS/PBCH block occupies 20 RBs and each RB has 12 subcarriers, there are a total of 240 subcarriers. Accordingly, the bandwidth occupied by the SS/PBCH block may be equal to 240*SCS. For example, since the PSS and SSS of the SS/PBCH block have 15 kHz * 12 * 12 = 2.16 MHz and the PBCH has 15 kHz * 12 * 20 = 3.6 MHz, at least some resources used in the PBCH are punctured. ) can be For example, resources belonging to at least three or more RBs may be punctured.

For example, the number of RBs may be 12 or 18 starting from the RB having the lowest RB index. In addition, when the CCE is mapped to the plurality of REGs according to interleaving mapping using the number of RBs included in the first bandwidth, the base station transmits information on the number of RBs included in the first bandwidth to the terminal via the MIB Alternatively, it may be transmitted based on the SIB.
