- an eNB allocates a downlink / uplink time / frequency resource to a UE, and the UE receives a downlink signal according to the allocation of the eNB and transmits an uplink signal.
- it can be applied to contention-based communication such as WiFi.
- an access point (AP) or a control node controlling the access point allocates resources for communication between a UE and the AP, whereas a competition-based communication technique connects to an AP. Communication resources are occupied through contention among multiple UEs that are willing to.
- CSMA carrier sense multiple access
- MAC probabilistic media access control
- the transmitting device determines if another transmission is in progress before attempting to send traffic to the receiving device. In other words, the transmitting device attempts to detect the presence of a carrier from another transmitting device before attempting to transmit. When the carrier is detected, the transmission device waits for transmission to be completed by another transmission device in progress before initiating its transmission.
- CSMA is a communication technique based on the principle of "sense before transmit” or “listen before talk”.
- Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA / CD) and / or Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA / CA) are used as a technique for avoiding collision between transmission devices in a contention-based communication system using CSMA.
- CSMA / CD is a collision detection technique in a wired LAN environment. First, a PC or a server that wants to communicate in an Ethernet environment checks if a communication occurs on the network, and then another device If you are sending on the network, wait and send data.
- CSMA / CD monitors the collisions to allow flexible data transmission.
- a transmission device using CSMA / CD detects data transmission by another transmission device and adjusts its data transmission using a specific rule.
- CSMA / CA is a media access control protocol specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
- WLAN systems according to the IEEE 802.11 standard use a CA, that is, a collision avoidance method, without using the CSMA / CD used in the IEEE 802.3 standard.
- the transmitting devices always detect the carrier of the network, and when the network is empty, wait for a certain amount of time according to their location on the list and send the data.
- Various methods are used to prioritize and reconfigure transmission devices within a list.
- a collision may occur, in which a collision detection procedure is performed.
- Transmission devices using CSMA / CA use specific rules to avoid collisions between data transmissions by other transmission devices and their data transmissions.
- the expression “assuming” may mean that the subject transmitting the channel transmits the channel so as to correspond to the "assuming”.
- the subject receiving the channel may mean that the channel is received or decoded in a form conforming to the "home", provided that the channel is transmitted to conform to the "home”.
- a channel is punctured in a specific resource except that a signal of the channel is mapped to the specific resource in the resource mapping process of the channel, but a signal portion mapped to the punctured resource is transmitted when the channel is transmitted.
- a specific resource to be punctured is counted as a resource of the corresponding channel in the resource mapping process of the corresponding channel, a signal mapped to the specific resource among the signals of the corresponding channel is not actually transmitted.
- the receiving device of the corresponding channel receives, demodulates or decodes the corresponding channel on the assumption that the signal portion mapped to the punctured specific resource is not transmitted.
- the rate-matching of a channel in a specific resource means that the channel is not mapped to the specific resource at all in the resource mapping process of the channel and thus is not used for transmission of the channel.
- a rate-matched specific resource is not counted as a resource of the corresponding channel at all in the resource mapping process of the corresponding channel.
- the receiving device of the corresponding channel receives, demodulates, or decodes the corresponding channel, assuming that a rate-matched specific resource is not used for mapping and transmission of the corresponding channel.

- MTC machine type communication
- MTC mainly refers to information exchange performed between a machine and an eNB without human intervention or with minimal human intervention.
- MTC can be used for data communication such as meter reading, level measurement, surveillance camera utilization, measurement / detection / reporting such as inventory reporting of vending machines, etc. It may be used for updating an application or firmware.
- the amount of transmitted data is small, and uplink / downlink data transmission or reception (hereinafter, transmission / reception) sometimes occurs. Due to the characteristics of the MTC, for the UE for MTC (hereinafter referred to as MTC UE), it is efficient to lower the UE manufacturing cost and reduce battery consumption at a low data rate.
- MTC UEs are less mobile, and thus, the channel environment is hardly changed.
- the MTC UE is likely to be located at a location that is not covered by a normal eNB, for example, a basement, a warehouse, a mountain, and the like.
- the signal for the MTC UE is better to have a wider coverage than the signal for a legacy UE (hereinafter, a legacy UE).
- the MTC UE is likely to require a signal with a wider coverage than the legacy UE. Therefore, when the PDCCH, PDSCH, etc. are transmitted to the MTC UE in the same manner as the eNB transmits to the legacy UE, the MTC UE has difficulty in receiving them. Therefore, in order to enable the MTC UE to effectively receive a signal transmitted by the eNB, the eNB may select a subframe repetition (subframe having a signal) when transmitting a signal to the MTC UE having a coverage issue. It is proposed to apply a technique for coverage enhancement such as repetition), subframe bundling, and the like. For example, a PDCCH and / or PDSCH may be transmitted through a plurality of subframes (eg, about 100) to an MTC UE having a coverage problem.

Is done.
- LTE Long Term Evolution
- 3GPP RATs 3rd Generation Partnership Project
- Packet data delay is a parameter that not only affects the perceived sensitivity of the system, but also indirectly affects throughput.
- HTTP / TCP is the dominant application and transport layer protocol suite used on the Internet today. According to the HTTP archive (http://httparchive.org/trends.php), HTTP-based transactions on the Internet can range from a few 10's to 1 megabytes of Kbytes. It is in range. Within this size range, the TCP slow start period is a significant portion of the total transport period of the packet stream. Performance is constrained by delay during TCP slow start. Therefore, an improved delay can be easily presented to improve the average throughput for this type of TCP-based data transaction.
- UE L2 buffers need to be dimensioned correspondingly.
- the only way to reduce buffer requirements within the UE and eNB is to reduce the delay.
- Radio resource efficiency can also be positively affected by delay reduction.
- Low data packet delays can reduce the number of possible transmission attempts within a certain delay bound. Therefore, higher block error ratio (BLER) targets can be used for data transmission while freeing up radio resources while maintaining the same level of robustness for the user equipment under poor radio conditions. Maintaining the same BLER target, an increased number of possible transmissions within a certain delay bound can be interpreted as a more robust of real-time data streams (eg, VoLTE). This will improve the VoLTE voice system capacity.
- BLER block error ratio
- gaming real-time applications such as VoLTE / OTT VoIP, and video telephony / conferencing: reduced latency in terms of perceived experience quality

- the wavelength is shortened, enabling the installation of multiple antenna elements in the same area.
- a total of 100 antenna elements can be installed in a two-dimensional arrangement in a 0.5 by (wavelength) interval on a panel of 5 by 5 cm. Therefore, in mmW, it is considered to use a plurality of antenna elements to increase the beamforming gain to increase coverage or to increase throughput.
- TXRU transceiver unit
- a method of mapping a plurality of antenna elements to a single TXRU and adjusting a beam direction with an analog phase shifter is considered.
- Such an analog beamforming method has a disadvantage in that only one beam direction can be made in the entire band and thus frequency selective beamforming (BF) cannot be performed.
- a hybrid BF with B TXRUs which is less than Q antenna elements in the form of digital BF and analog BF, can be considered.
- the direction of beams that can be simultaneously transmitted is limited to B or less.
- a signal may be transmitted / received while changing the direction of a beam over time.
- the present invention describes an initial access procedure that differs in mmWave due to the characteristics of analog beamforming, and proposes a UE and eNB operation and signaling information / method to be transmitted between the UE and eNB accordingly.
- a self-contained subframe structure is considered in the fifth generation new RAT.
- the hatched region indicates a transmission region of a DL control channel (eg, PDCCH) carrying DCI
- a black part shows a transmission region of an UL control channel (eg, PUCCH) carrying UCI.
- DCI is control information delivered by the eNB to the UE
- the DCI is UL specific information such as information on cell configuration that the UE needs to know, DL specific information such as DL scheduling, and UL grant. Information and the like.
- the UCI is control information delivered from the UE to the eNB, and the UCI may include HARQ ACK / NACK report on DL data, CSI report on DL channel state, and scheduling request (SR).
- SR scheduling request
- the symbol regions 1 to 12 may be used for transmission of a physical channel (eg, PDSCH) that carries downlink data, and may be used for transmission of a physical channel (eg, PUSCH) that carries uplink data. May be used.
- a physical channel eg, PDSCH
- PUSCH physical channel
- DL transmission and UL transmission are sequentially performed in one subframe, so that transmission / reception of DL data and reception / transmission of UL ACK / NACK for the DL data are performed. It can be done in a frame.
- the time required for data retransmission is reduced, thereby minimizing the delay of the final data transfer.
- a time gap is required for an eNB and a UE to switch from a transmission mode to a reception mode or a process of switching from a reception mode to a transmission mode.
- some OFDM symbols at the time of switching from DL to UL in the self-contained subframe structure are set to a guard period (GP).
- a DL control channel may be transmitted by time division multiplexing (TDM) with DL data or UL data on a broadband.
- TDM time division multiplexing
- the eNB may transmit DL control channel (s) over the entire band, but from one UE perspective, the UE may receive its DL control channel within some specific band rather than the entire band.
- the DL control channel is control information transmitted by the eNB to the UE, and includes not only DL specific information such as DL scheduling but also information about cell configuration that the UE needs to know, as well as UL specific information such as a UL grant. do.
- the new RAT referred to as mmWave and 5G
- 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, etc. may need to be supported as the minimum system bandwidth.
- the minimum system band may vary depending on the base subcarrier spacing of the system. For example, if the default subcarrier spacing is 15 kHz, the minimum system band is 5 MHz, if the basic subcarrier spacing is 30 kHz, the minimum system band is 10 MHz, if the basic subcarrier spacing is 120 kHz, the minimum system band is 40 MHz, and the basic subcarrier spacing is 240 kHz.
- the minimum system band may be 80 MHz.
- the new RATs are designed for sub-6 GHz and above 6 GHz bands and are designed to support multiple subcarriers within a system to support various scenarios and use cases. Due to the different subcarrier lengths, the subframe length is also reduced / extended accordingly. For example, one subframe may be defined as a short time such as ms 0.5 ms, 0.25 ms, 0.125 ms. Higher frequency bands (eg, 6 GHz and above) can be used in the new RAT system, and subcarrier spacing is expected to be supported by a wide subcarrier spacing, whereas the existing LTE system was 15 kHz. For example, assuming a subcarrier spacing of 60 kHz, one resource unit (RU) may be defined by 12 subcarriers on the frequency axis and one subframe on the time axis.
- RU resource unit
- the first operation that the UE must perform in order to associate with a specific system to receive a service is to acquire time and frequency synchronization of the corresponding system, receive basic system information (SI), and uplink to an uplink. It is to set the link timing.
- SI basic system information
- This process is commonly referred to as an initial access procedure.
- the initial access procedure generally includes a synchronization procedure and a RACH procedure (ie, random access procedure).
- RACH procedure ie, random access procedure
- PSS symbol timing acquisition, frequency synchronization, cell ID detection in cell ID group (three hypotheses).
- SSS cell ID group detection (168 assumptions), 10ms frame boundary detection, CP detection (two assumptions).
- PBCH decoding antenna configuration, 40ms timing detection, system information, system bandwidth, etc.
- the UE acquires OFDM symbol timing and subframe timing through the PSS and SSS, obtains a cell ID, and descrambles and decodes the PBCH using the cell ID to obtain important information in the corresponding system.
- mmWave or new RAT hereinafter referred to as mmWave / new RAT
- the basic synchronization process is similar, but there is a big difference in the way of transmitting / receiving PSS / SSS.
- Figure 9 shows an example of a time point and a resource region in which a PSS / SSS / PBCH is transmitted in a new system.
- Figure 9 (a) shows an example of the PSS / SSS / PBCH transmission interval
- Figure 9 (b) shows an example of the PSS / SSS / ESS / PBCH transmission interval.
- PSS / SSS / PBCH in different beam directions may be transmitted for each OFDM symbol.
- the number of beam directions may be from one to N.
- the number of beams (directions) may be determined depending on the frequency, or may be dynamically determined in consideration of cell interference and the like.
- the UE that detects the PSS may acquire symbol synchronization and obtain a physical cell ID. Alternatively, the cell ID may be obtained through PSS and SSS detection.
- PSS / SSS is transmitted omni-directional, whereas signals such as PSS / SSS / PBCH are rotated omni-directionally by an eNB applying mmWave.
- a method of beamforming a beam and transmitting the beam is considered.
- transmitting / receiving a signal while rotating the beam direction is referred to as beam sweeping or beam scanning.
- the eNB can have up to N beam directions
- signals such as PSS / SSS / PBCH are transmitted for the N beam directions, respectively. That is, the eNB transmits synchronization signals such as PSS / SSS / PBCH for each direction while sweeping directions that it may have or support.
- the eNB can form N beams, several beams may be bundled into one beam group, and PSS / SSS / PBCH may be transmitted / received for each beam group. At this time, one beam group includes one or more beams.
- the UE may acquire system timing in the following manner.
- the UE first detects PSS transmitted at a fixed position (e.g., 6 PRBs or x PRBs centered on a center frequency) or a variable position to obtain information about symbol timing. Similarly, the UE can obtain the subframe timing and / or the frame timing by detecting the SSS transmitted at a location already known, that is, transmitted at a relative location from the PSS transmission resource, and obtain the cell ID from the combination of the PSS and the SSS. Can be. In order to prevent too many signals and hypotheses transmitted to the SSS, the subframe timing may be obtained by detecting a separate additional synchronization signal (eg, an extended synchronization signal (ESS)) transmitted by the eNB. .
- ESS extended synchronization signal
- a beam reference signal may be transmitted to measure link quality for each beam direction. That is, the BRS may be transmitted for the purpose of RSRP / RRM / RLM measurement and the like, and may also be used for neighbor cell measurement and the like.
- the BRS may be transmitted over the entire band to enable the UE to make measurements for the entire band.
- the BRS may be an RS transmitted for each antenna port over the entire band with respect to the corresponding analog beam direction in which the PSS / SSS is transmitted. In this case, the UE needs to know in advance information about the number of ports used for the transmission of the BRS and the resource location where the BRS is transmitted for each port.
- the number of ports used for transmission of the BRS may be provided through the ESS. For example, if the maximum number of BRS ports is 8, the eNB may inform the UE of one value in a combination having ⁇ 1, 2, 4, 8 ⁇ or ⁇ 2, 4, 6, 8 ⁇ or another value. I can tell you through Here, the UE may mean that the UE should attempt detection in the ESS for a plurality of premises for the number of antenna ports. As another method of notifying the number of BRS ports, the number of ports for BRS transmitted in the same direction as the beam through which the PBCH is transmitted in the PBCH may be signaled. When information on the BSR port is transmitted on the PBCH, the UE may need to measure the BRS of the neighbor cell after decoding the PBCH of the neighbor cell for neighbor cell measurement.
- the ESS may be transmitted through a frequency resource different from the PSS / SSS in the same symbol in which the PSS / SSS is transmitted.
- the UE may acquire the subframe timing and the frame timing through the ESS. Acquiring the subframe timing means that the position at which the subframe starts, that is, the information on which symbol the UE detects is located in the corresponding subframe can be obtained.
- Frame timing may be related to the period in which the synchronization signal is transmitted. After detecting the synchronization signal, the UE can estimate the time it takes for the same synchronization signal to be transmitted thereafter, and can know which subframe is a particular subframe within the time interval.
- the number of BRS ports may be indicated in the ESS.
- information about the number of DM-RS ports of the PBCH may be indicated to the ESS.
- the PBCH DM-RS port may be limited to two assuming that the PBCH is transmitted in a transmit diversity scheme such as SFBC.
- the number of PBCH DM-RS ports (eg, 1, 2, 4, 8) may be indicated by the ESS.
- information on the system bandwidth or the BRS transmission bandwidth may be indicated in the ESS. In this case, the UE can identify the resource to which the BRS is transmitted for RSRP measurement without performing decoding of the PBCH.
- the ESS sequence should be designed so that it is possible to find out the number of symbols in the subframe the symbol with the ESS. Therefore, the ESS sequence should be a function of the cell ID and the OFDM symbol index on which the ESS is transmitted.
- FIG. 10 shows examples of a method of transmitting a synchronization signal in a new system.
- the synchronization signal refers to a signal such as PSS / SSS / SSS transmitted by the eNB for synchronization.
- a period in which a synchronization signal (SS) is transmitted is P subframes, and one eNB can generate B beams.
- SS1 transmitted in the first subframe of the two SS subframes is SS1 and the second in one period of the P subframes.
- the SS transmitted in the subframe is referred to as SS2.
- SS1 and SS2 represent part of a set of SSs having a plurality of beam directions, and refer to parts of SSs transmitted in different subframes.
- SS may be transmitted by dividing SS1 in another subframe into SS2 in another subframe, and SS1 and SS2 may be transmitted with a specific time interval as shown in FIG. As shown in (b), it may be transmitted in consecutive subframes.
- the time required for the eNB to transmit both SS1 and SS2 and transmit the next SS1 and SS2 may be defined as a transmission period of the synchronization signal. That is, the time taken before the synchronization signals for all beam directions of the eNB are completely transmitted, and then the signals are transmitted again in the same beam direction may be understood as the period of the synchronization signal.
- 2T subframes may be a transmission period of a synchronization signal. If the synchronization signal is divided into a plurality of subframes and transmitted, the synchronization signal should include information on the number of subframes when the synchronization signal is distributed into the plurality of subframes.
- the corresponding ESS sequence may have information on which subframe the ESS is transmitted.
- the ESS sequence may be generated as a function of the subframe index so that the ESS sequence may indicate which subframe among the subframes in which the synchronization signal is transmitted or among the subframes of the synchronization signal period.
- the BRS is an RS transmitted in a different beam direction for each symbol
- the BRS sequence is generated as a function of the symbol index and / or the beam index along with the cell ID.
- the BRS is additionally generated as a function of the BRS antenna port number and the BRS transmission subframe number.
- the PBCH DM-RS sequence is generated as a function of cell ID, symbol index, PBCH transmission subframe number, and DM-RS port number.
- the PBCH may include basic system information, system frame number, number of antenna ports, system bandwidth, and the like.
- time-frequency resources or SIB transmission periods, etc.
- SIB system information block
- SI time-resource frequencies that may be used for transmission of paging, etc.
- Information about the resource may be carried.
- the PRACH configuration information may be included in the SIB (ie, SI) and transmitted.
- Information about time-frequency resources that may be used for transmission of the SIB and paging may be independently signaled by beam direction (eg, by beam index).
- the UE which has obtained information about time-frequency resources that can be used for reception of the SIB and paging, performs blind decoding for detection of the PDCCH in order to receive the corresponding information in a subframe designated for the SIB and paging reception. Since information on transmission resources of the SIB / paging corresponds to system information, when a UE specific search space (USS) and a common search space are configured for the UE, the UE is configured for SIB / paging. It expects common channel to be transmitted in subframe and performs blind decoding on CSS with USS. The UE does not perform BD for CSS in subframes other than subframes for SIB / paging.
- CSS may be a discovery space for all UEs in the cell.
- the group RNTI or group ID to be read by the UE is a function of beam ID and cell ID for the same beam direction as the symbol of PSS / SSS successfully received by the UE or PSS / SSS successfully received by the UE. Can be determined.
- this group ID may be a value that can be determined after the UE detects the beam ID and the cell ID.
- the UE receives an RNTI value set for receiving each group common data data and control information based on the group ID (eg, the RNTI value is signaled to the UE), scrambling the group ID, DM-RS scrambling ID, etc. Can be used as
- FIG. 11 shows an example of transmission / reception of system information according to the present invention.
- SI system information
- the MIB is transmitted using a BCH having a period of 40 ms
- the SIB1 is transmitted using a DL-SCH having a period of 80 ms
- other applicable SIBs are time-frequency domain scheduling by SI-RNTI on a PDCCH. Transmitted using a DL-SCH.
- the other applicable SIBs are each located within a time window with configurable periodicity.
- the system information is part of a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration procedure for the (P) SCell for a UE configured with carrier aggregation and / or dual connectivity (DC).
- RRC radio resource control
- This approach to broadcasting SI is mainly suitable for macro cell deployment. However, this approach may not be optimal in other scenarios.
- a disadvantage of the broadcasting approach is that resources can be wasted, for example, when there are few or no UEs interested in connecting to the system and / or interested in certain types of SIBs, camping on the cell.
- Another disadvantage of the broadcasting approach is the latency caused by the nature of the periodic broadcasting of the SI when the UE acquires the initial system information. For some SIBs, the UE must wait for the next period until the relevant SIB (s) are transmitted, and an average delay equal to half of the set period is determined by the UE's characteristics of the system. This is typically needed before a feature can determine if it is reachable.
- Another disadvantage is the impact of the scalability of the broadcasting approach as the system evolves and new features are added. As the amount of system information increases, more resources are needed for the broadcasting approach. As new informational messages are added, each may need to be broadcast in a new time window. This means that the UE may have to wake up more often, which may affect the power consumption of the UE. In particular, there may be additional disadvantages when the broadcasting approach is applied to a new RAT. When a new RAT is deployed in a high frequency band (eg, 6 GHz or more), multiple beams may be needed to provide adequate coverage.
- a high frequency band eg, 6 GHz or more
- a broadcasting approach similar to that of the existing LTE / LTE-A system is used, that is, it may be inadequate or inefficient for each of the multiple beams to transmit an SI.
- the new RAT deployment is expected to include high density cells with macro placement and small coverage.
- a broadcasting approach for all applicable system information is suitable for providing functions such as system access, camping, mobility and the like.
- For cells with small coverage it is desirable to efficiently support features and functions similar to macro cells, but these cells are better suited for dedicated transmissions since there may be only a few UEs in the cell's area at any given time. can do.
- the UE may be faster to obtain system information using a dedicated signal than to wait for system information that is periodically broadcast. This may be necessary to properly support URLLC services.
- the broadcasting approach also increases the level of interference in high density deployments and affects network power consumption.
- the present invention proposes an on-demand SI to reduce the amount of SI broadcasted.
- On-demand SI may be provided at the request of the UE.
- all or part of the system information can be on-demand SI. That is, in the frequency band to which the new RAT is applied, the SI may be broadcast on demand or part of the always-on, and part of the SI may be transmitted on demand.
- the permanent SI may be an SI common to all beam-directions and all UEs of a corresponding cell.
- an SI essential for initial connection may be broadcast periodically as a permanent SI.
- the remaining SI may be an on-demand SI.
- the on-demand SI may be an SI specific to a particular beam-direction, UE or UE group.

- the RACH resource for the SI request may be common to all UEs of the cell (for a frequency band below 6 GHz).
- the RACH resource for SI request may be designated for each beam direction, that is, for each SS block.
- the eNB may perform SIB transmission after or before random access response (RAR) transmission (S1150).
- RAR random access response
- the eNB detects the SI request on the RACH resource for SI request, the corresponding cell may broadcast system information (in the corresponding beam direction) or transmit the corresponding system information in the RAR for the corresponding preamble index.
- scheduling information for a time / frequency domain in which corresponding system information with an SI request is transmitted may be included in the RAR for the SI request and transmitted.
- the UE may indicate to the eNB in a message carried by the corresponding PRACH that the transmission purpose of the corresponding PRACH is to request the SIB. That is, the UE explicitly transmits a PRACH to receive specific data on the downlink, rather than transmitting a PRACH to transmit specific data on the uplink, specifically, to request system information. Can be directed. Such explicit indication may be performed by setting a specific value in a field in the message carried by the PRACH, or by sending a specific sequence on the PRACH.
- a separate PRACH resource or sequence for requesting on-demand SIB or PBCH transmission may be reserved (by eNB for a specific UE or beam direction) (S1110).
- Such an indication may be performed through msg 1 or msg 3 of the RACH procedure. For example, if the UL timing synchronization is not correct, the UE may attempt to transmit a PRACH and transmit an SI request through msg3.
- FIG. 12 shows an example of SS transmission for each beam direction on a cell or carrier.

- the PSS / SSS the ESS, the PBCH, and the RS for decoding the PBCH (hereinafter, PBCH DM-RS) will be beamformed and transmitted like the PSS / SSS.
- the UE can determine the beam direction through which these signals are received with the best channel quality, which is best suited to them. And by reporting to the eNB about the optimal beam direction or resources with the PSS / SSS / PBCH having the best channel quality, it is possible to receive the PDCCH / PDSCH transmitted in the optimal beam later. Similarly, the eNB may allow the eNB to appropriately perform reception (RX) beamforming for the PUSCH / PUCCH sent by the UE.
- RX reception
- an index or ID may be given for each beam (ie, for each beam direction) or for each beam group.
- the beam index may be tied to the symbol index on which the PSS / SSS / PBCH and BRS are transmitted to implicitly be defined / defined between the eNB and the UE.
- the beam index may be tied to a symbol index in which PSS / SSS / PBCH and BRS are transmitted and a BRS port number received with the best quality in the symbol, and may be promised / defined between the eNB and the UE.
- a unit in which a signal such as PSS / SSS / PBCH transmitted in the same beam direction is transmitted may be defined as one SS block. If there are a plurality of SS blocks, there may be a separate SS block index to distinguish between the SS blocks.
- the specific SS block may indicate a transmission direction of a DL signal / channel such as PSS / SSS / PBCH. For example, when PSS / SSS / PBCH is transmitted in 10 beam directions in one system, PSS / SSS / PBCH in the same direction may be configured as one SS block, and in the system, 10 SS blocks It can be understood to exist. Since the SS block and the beam direction correspond one-to-one, the beam index may be interpreted as being the SS block index.

- the BRS refers to an RS transmitted in all bands for estimation of the beam direction transmitted for each symbol.
- the beam index may be an index having an explicit number or order with respect to the beam direction.
- the beam index may not mean an explicit number or index for a specific beam direction, but may mean a specific beam direction in a symbol in which the PSS / SSS is transmitted.
- the beam index may refer to a beam direction transmitted by a BRS port most optimally received among specific beam directions transmitted by an eNB in a symbol in which PSS / SSS is transmitted.
- the beam index may be an index of a beam group including a plurality of beam directions, and may indicate a grouped beam direction having a plurality of beam directions.

- the eNB can infer the beam index, that is, the SS block index, optimally received by the UE among the beam indexes of the eNB.
- the manner in which the UE determines a suitable or preferred beam index or SS block index may have the following alternatives. One or more of these combinations allows the UE to select its preferred set of beams and to list up a plurality of RACH resource candidates associated with the beams.
- the UE can successfully detect the PSS / SSS or ESS and select a beam index or SS block index where the received SINR of the PSS / SSS is above a certain threshold.

- the UE selects a beam index or SS block index in which the reception RSRP of the BRS transmitted in a full band or a partial band is higher than a certain threshold among the beams in which the UE successfully performs PSS / SSS detection and PBCH decoding.
- Alt4 Assuming load or priority information is transmitted via ESS or PBCH with Alt1, Alt2 or Alt3, the UE utilizes this information to load the beams beyond the threshold of the received signal. A low or high priority beam or SS block index may be selected, or the beam or SS block index may be selected by combining received signal quality and load / priority information. Alt4 may be used, for example, to prevent downlink / uplink and RACH resources from being excessively concentrated in a certain beam direction and to distribute downlink / uplink load in the beam directions.

- TRP transmission and reception point
- the UE may not shoot an uplink signal in the beam direction in which the downlink signal is received. This is because the optimal path of the UL and the optimal path of the DL may be different.
- TX / RX beam correspondence in the TRP if the TRP can determine a TRP RX beam for uplink reception based on the UE's downlink measurement for one or more TX beams of the TRP and / or the TRP is one or more RX of the TRP If the TRP TX beam for the corresponding downlink transmission can be determined based on the TRP 'uplink measurement for the beams, it is held.
- TX / RX beam correspondence at the UE if the UE can determine the UE RX beam for the corresponding uplink transmission based on the downlink measurement of the UE with respect to the one or more RX beams of the UE and / or the UE is at least one TX of the UE If the UE TX beam for the downlink reception can be determined based on the indication of the TRP based on the uplink measurement for the beams, it is held.
- the PRACH resource used when the UE attempts random access on the uplink also needs to be RX beamformed according to the direction in which the PSS / SSS is transmitted from the eNB to successfully receive the PRACH.
- PRACH resources may also be allocated for each PSS / SSS direction, that is, for each beam index (or SS block index).
- RACH resources may be connected for each SS block index on which PSS / SSS and PBCH are transmitted.
- the RACH resource may mean a time-frequency resource capable of transmitting the RACH preamble.
- the UE which successfully detects the PSS / SSS and selects the best N beams, needs to acquire information on PRACH resources for each beam index or SS block index.
- the PRACH resource basically means a time-frequency resource used by the UE to transmit a PRACH, and may include information such as a PRACH sequence, a root sequence, a PRACH transmission power, a maximum retransmission number, and a repetition number. For example, using a time-frequency resource used by a UE for transmission of a PRACH preamble and a PRACH preamble index used by the UE, the UE may inform the network of a preference for a specific SS block index.
- a subframe number (or a corresponding value that may refer to a subframe) that can be used when transmitting the PRACH in a direction corresponding to the beam index, a symbol number and a symbol within the subframe Information such as the number of s, the PRB index (or a corresponding value capable of indicating a frequency position) on the frequency axis, and / or the frequency axis bandwidth.
- PRACH resources for different beam indexes or SS block indexes may be time division multiplexed (TDM). Assuming RX beam scanning for RACH reception of an eNB for one beam, a reservation in the corresponding beam direction is assumed during the corresponding symbol or beam scanning duration, regardless of the presence or absence of the RACH transmission.
- multiple PRACH resources can also be configured on the frequency axis, code division multiplexing (CDM) is supported, or through frequency division multiplexing (FDM) instead of CDM, or both CDM and FDM UEs can be distinguished by using. That is, even though the UEs use the same time-frequency RACH resource, the UEs use different codes (eg, preamble sequences), so that the UE prefers a particular SS block index or receives for the SS block index. Information indicating that the signal quality is good may be signaled.
- CDM code division multiplexing
- FDM frequency division multiplexing
- PRACH resources can be set in common for all beam indices. That is, time-frequency resources that a UE can transmit a PRACH on, and an eNB can expect that a PRACH from any UE will be transmitted, are common to all beam directions or one time-frequency resource per specific beam index group. Can be assigned. If the PRACH resource is set in common for a plurality of beams, there is an advantage that the delay is reduced. When a PRACH resource is set in common for a plurality or all the beams, a PRACH corresponding to a plurality of beam indexes may be transmitted in one time-frequency resource.
- PRACH transmission time-frequency resources of UEs having different optimal beam directions may be shared between a plurality of UEs and a plurality of beam indices.
- PRACH time-frequency resources may be configured in cell-common.
- whether to select a common PRACH resource or a PRACH resource assuming an RX beam may be determined by a latency requirement, a power constraint, RSRP, etc. of the UE, and transmit a PRACH of the UE according to each RACH resource selection.
- the approach may be slightly different.
- the network may not know the beam direction optimized for the UE.
- a subsequent transmission channel such as RAR may be transmitted without using the TX beam.
- the advantage of the common RACH resource may compensate for the disadvantage that the corresponding radio resource is not used by the UE in another beam direction when the RACH resource is fixed and reserved according to the beam direction.
- the network can dynamically adjust the amount of these common RACH resources and RACH resources along the beam direction. More generally, the transmission resources through the TX beam / RX beam may be divided between the resources for wide beam or omni-directional transmission, although the coverage may be low.
- the eNB may dynamically inform the UE of the type of resource (eg, PUSCH resource) so that the UE can operate with different power settings or different repetition levels depending on whether it is a omni-directional transmission resource or an RX beam resource. have. That is, the eNB informs the information about the receiver gain semi-statically or dynamically, allowing the UE to make UE power decisions and repetitive decisions.
- the RACH transmission resources mutually promised so that the transmission / reception beam directions between the UE and the eNB are relatively well aligned may be distinguished from the RACH transmission resources used by the eNB to receive the PRACH preappl while rotating the reception beam direction. .
- Transmission resources may be distinguished.
- the eNB can set the beam direction in which the RAR is transmitted together with the RACH resource, and in case of a UE that does not support the set RAR beam direction, selects the corresponding RACH resource.
- PRACH resources may be shared by UEs in all directions, but PRACH resources may be subdivided according to the TX beam direction of the RAR transmission, and each UE may be subdivided according to the RAR transmission beam direction. May select its PRACH resource.
- the network may allow the eNB to use the TX beam but allow RACH reception without RX beam scanning.
- the RACH resource may not be fixed in a specific reception beam direction, but may be set to a resource that allows the eNB to perform reception beam scanning.
- the manner in which the RACH resources are shared by the plurality of SS block indexes may be more efficiently applied when the beam correspondence of the eNB or the TRP does not match. If the beam correspondence of the TRP is not correct, the UE may repeatedly transmit the PRACH preamble, and the TRP may perform a reception beam scanning operation for reception of the PRACH preamble.
- the preamble index used by the UE may be part of an index set connected to a specific SS block index.
- the UE transmits a PRACH preamble in a time-frequency RACH resource shared by a plurality of SS block indexes, but the UE can inform the network of a specific SS block index that it prefers by transmitting an SS block index specific PRACH preamble.
- the PRACH resource configuration information includes a time-frequency resource region that can be used by the UE to transmit the PRACH, a PRACH transmission preamble index, a preamble transmission power, and RA-RNTI information used when transmitting the PRACH.
- PRACH resources may be separately set for each beam index or SS block index, and information included in the PRACH configuration may be independently set according to the beam index or the SS block index.
- the preamble index, the preamble transmission power, and the RA-RNTI may be set differently for each beam index or SS block index.
- All of the information included in the PRACH configuration may be beam index-specific, or only some information may be beam index-specific.
- a time-frequency resource capable of transmitting a PRACH may be shared by a plurality of beam indexes or all beam indexes, in which case the PRACH time-frequency resource in the PRACH configuration is assigned to beam indexes belonging to a specific beam index group. For all beam indices or for all beam indices. However, each information should be transmitted for each beam index.
- the RAR window size and the time-frequency resource in which the RAR is transmitted may be configured / signaled for each beam index (eg, SS block index).
- time-frequency resources through which the RAR window and / or the RAR are transmitted may also be common among the plurality of beam indices.
- the RACH configuration information may also include configuration information for the RAR and be provided to the UE (s).
- the RAR configuration information typically includes information on the time-frequency domain in which the RAR is transmitted. Details will be described later.
- Information on the PRACH resource setting corresponding to the beam index may be transmitted on another channel transmitted in a symbol having PSS / SSS of the same beam index as the corresponding PRACH resource. Options of channels that can transmit a PRACH configuration are as follows.
- PBCH Carries PRACH Configuration The PRACH configuration may be transmitted over the PBCH transmitted in the same direction (ie with the same beam index) in the same symbol as the PSS / SSS.
- PBCH needs to transmit essential information that must be successfully decoded to the cell-edge UE of the system, if the PBCH carries the PRACH setting, the amount of information to be transmitted in the PBCH increases, so that the PRACH setting must be made. It may not be appropriate to transmit on the PBCH. However, if the amount of resources that can transmit the PBCH is sufficient, PRACH information may be transmitted in the PBCH.
- SIB carries PRACH configuration: SIBs having the PRACH configuration as the main information in the same direction (with the same beam index) in the same symbol as the PSS / SSS can be transmitted.
- the transmission resource location of the SIB may be indicated in the PBCH, and by receiving the SIB at the corresponding transmission resource location, the UE may obtain information on the PRACH configuration of the corresponding beam index.
- a plurality of beam indexes / directions may be selected for a beam direction received by the UE in a preferred or best quality, and the UE may obtain PRACH configuration information for each beam index or beam direction. That is, the eNB may transmit PRACH configuration information for each beam index.
- a plurality of SS blocks may be defined. Each of the plurality of SS blocks may be transmitted in its own DL transmission beam direction.
- RACH resources may be configured for each SS direction.
- the UE may receive a signal / channel in the SS block, select an SS block index having the best reception quality, and transmit a PRACH preamble by selecting a RACH resource connected with the corresponding SS block index. In this case, the UE may select one or more SS block indexes, and may attempt PRACH preamble transmission on RACH resources connected for each SS block.
- a scheme in which the UE transmits a PRACH preamble is proposed as follows.
- Sequential PRACH Transmission The UE preferentially attempts PRACH transmission for the most preferred beam index (ie, SS block index) among the preferred best N beam indexes (eg, SS block index).
- the PRACH is transmitted in the PRACH resource corresponding to the best beam index.
- An eNB that receives a PRACH message 1 (msg1) from a specific PRACH resource may understand that the UE prefers a beam corresponding to the corresponding PRACH resource.
- the RAR for the corresponding PRACH may be transmitted to confirm that the UE uses the corresponding beam index (ie, the corresponding beam direction). RARs are sent in predefined RAR resources.
- the UE that has not received the RAR for the PRACH transmitted on the PRACH resource corresponding to the corresponding beam index then transmits the PRACH on the PRACH resource for the high quality beam index (eg SS block index). Wait for RAR.
- the UE can report its preferred beam index, which the eNB sends by sending a RAR for that PRACH. It may approve the use of the beam index or may not approve the use of the beam index by not sending a RAR.
- the UE that has not received the RAR for the previously transmitted PRACH attempts to transmit the PRACH using PRACH resources for another beam index (eg, SS block index) and waits for the RAR.
- the UE may select a plurality of preferred PRACH configurations. PRACH may be transmitted for each. And the eNB can transmit the RAR for each beam index. In other words, the UE may perform a separate RACH procedure for each beam index (eg, SS block index).
- option 2 has a disadvantage in that a probability of collision between UEs in a PRACH resource increases because one UE transmits a PRACH by occupying a plurality of PRACH resources.
- the UE may transmit a plurality of PRACHs for different beam indices even without receiving the RAR for the previously transmitted PRACH.
- the eNB may respond with a single RAR within a given RAR window for a plurality of PRACHs transmitted by a particular UE, whereby using that beam index while sending a RAR for a particular beam index (eg, SS block index) Can be approved.
- the eNB grants the use of the specific beam index by transmitting the RAR in the RAR resource corresponding to the specific beam index, or by transmitting the RAR using the RA-RNTI or sequence corresponding to the specific beam index in the specific RAR resource. You can confirm.
- Preferred Preamble Sequence Transmission Selecting the best N beam indexes (e.g. SS block index) preferred by the UE and transmitting the PRACH for a specific beam, while the most preferred beam index (e.g. SS block index) ) Can be reported to the eNB.
- the UE selectively transmits the PRACH by selecting the earliest time position or home preferred PRACH resource, and the preamble index used at this time may be selected and transmitted in the PRACH configuration corresponding to the beam index that is most preferred. That is, the PRACH preamble transmitted by the UE may not be actually related to the beam index (eg, SS block index) of the PRACH resource through which the corresponding PRACH is transmitted.
- the UE transmits a PRACH in a specific PRACH resource that the eNB knows in which direction the RX beamforming is performed for receiving the PRACH, and the preamble index used for transmitting the PRACH is a beam index associated with the resource.
- a preamble index connected to another beam index eg, SS block index
- the eNB may know that the UE prefers a direction for a beam index (eg, SS block index) corresponding to the corresponding preamble index.
- a beam index ie, beam direction
- PRACH transmission with preferred RA-RNTI Similar to Option 3 described above, any beam index (e.g. SS block index) among the best N beam directions that the UE is suitable for The PRACH is transmitted to a PRACH resource corresponding to), but the RA-RNTI may be transmitted using a corresponding beam index. Similar to option 3, the UE also prefers for the resource transmitting the PRACH, and the channel environment is established for that beam index (e.g. SS block index) by selecting the RN-RNTI from another beam index (e.g. SS block index). Good can be signaled to the eNB.
- the RA-RNTI is a function of the PRACH transmission time resource index (eg subframe number or symbol index), frequency resource index (eg PRB index or absolute frequency) and beam index.
- PRACH Transmission on Common PRACH Resource The above-listed options are described based on the case where the PRACH resource is allocated / signaled for each beam index (eg, SS block index), but the PRACH transmission time-frequency resource is The same may be applied to a case in which all beam indexes (eg, SS block indexes) are commonly allocated or a plurality of beam index groups are allocated to be shared.
- the eNB transmits PRACH settings on a beam-by-beam basis (i.e., SS block index) or beam group, and some information of each beam index (eg, SS block index) or PRACH configuration on a beam group basis is determined by a beam index (eg, , SS block index) may be common information, and some information may be beam index (eg, SS block index) -specific information.
- the PRACH time-frequency resource may be beam index (eg, SS block index) common information.
- the UE transmits the PRACH on the signaled PRACH time-frequency resource, but uses information about a preferred beam index (eg, SS block index) by using a preamble sequence / index corresponding to a specific beam index (eg, SS block index).
- a preferred beam index eg, SS block index
- a reception beam direction preferred by each UE that is, a transmission beam direction of an eNB
- the UE may signal the preferred beam direction while transmitting the PRACH.
- a preferred beam direction may be transmitted to the eNB using a preamble index or RA-RNTI in a PRACH configuration corresponding to a specific beam index (eg, SS block index).
- the UE may be to use the fastest PRACH resource among the PRACH resources for the candidate beams or among the available PRACH resources. If timing such as RAR, Msg3, msg4, etc. is used in conjunction with the PRACH configuration, the UE can select a resource for which the overall process time can be reduced the most.
- the UE may select a PRACH resource corresponding to a beam or SS block having the largest amount of resources, or may select a PRACH resource in consideration of a load, as described above.
- load information may be signaled as RACH configuration information for each SS block index.
- the load information may be used to limit RACH attempts for a particular SS block index, ie random access attempts on a particular RACH resource.
- the transmit power offset may be signaled in the RACH configuration information per SS block index. For example, when the UE measures the received signal level for each beam (ie, for each SS block), the UE may add or subtract by the signaled power offset to derive the actual received signal level.
- the power offset may serve to force the UE to select a particular SS block index and attempt a RACH procedure through the RACH resources associated with that SS block, or not to select a particular SS block index.
- a message transmitted to the RAR includes a timing advance (TA) command, uplink transmission power information, and power ramping for correcting the RACH preamble sequence index detected by the eNB and the uplink transmission timing of the UE. ramping information, UL grants for message 3 (msg3) transmission, temporary IDs, and the like.
- TA timing advance
- the transmission of the RAR typically indicates that the RACH transmission by the UE is successful. Accordingly, the UE that receives the RAR for the RACH preamble transmitted on a specific cell / carrier does not transmit the RACH preamble again unless the RACH process is triggered again by a radio link on the cell / carrier or a PDCCH order. Uplink transmission is performed according to the corresponding RAR.
- the RAR may include load information of a network in a corresponding beam direction.
- the eNB can cause the UE that sent the preamble to make an RACH attempt for another beam.
- the load information in the RAR may be used as the beam switching command.
- the network may specify a separate preamble for beam switching in the RAR message.
- the eNB when instructing beam switching through the RAR, the eNB may designate the transmission power for the preamble for another beam direction. If there is no separate signaling for the transmit power in the RAR indicating beam switching, the UE may regard the PRACH transmission for the other beam direction as the PRACH retransmission and ramp up the power together. In this case, the UE may transmit the PRACH preamble for the beam direction having the best received signal quality among other beam directions except the beam direction in which the load indication is signaled.
- the RAR configuration for each PRACH configuration may be independently or collectively configured.
- the UE having transmitted the PRACH may expect that the RAR will be transmitted in a specific window from the kth subframe after the transmission time point or after a specific time. That is, the UE expects the RAR to be transmitted within a certain time interval (ie, time window) from the kth subframe (or a specific time) after the PRACH transmission. For example, a UE transmitting a PRACH in subframe n expects to receive a RAR for the PRACH within a specific time period (ie, a RAR arrival window) from subframe k.
- the k value and the RAR arrival window may be signaled / defined for each PRACH configuration. In other words, these two values may be signaled / defined for each beam index.
- the k value and the RAR arrival window may be signaled or defined as values common to all PRACH configurations. Although the PRACH resources according to the beam direction are different, several RACHs belonging to the same beam-group may share the same RAR window.
- the PRACH preambles for the plurality of beam directions are transmitted in different time resources within the uplink time interval corresponding to the downlink time interval required for the eNB to transmit the SS / PBCH for all the beam directions, the UE One may expect to receive RAR (s) for the PRACH preambles within the same time resource.

- the UE may determine that the beam index included in the received RAR matches its preferred beam index or the beam index corresponding to the PRACH time unit transmitted by the UE, and / or the PRACH transmitted by the PRACH preamble ID included in the RAR. If it matches that of the signal, subsequent operations (eg, Msg3 transmission) according to the corresponding RAR may be performed, and further RAR detection / reception operations may be stopped within the corresponding RAR window.
- subsequent operations eg, Msg3 transmission
- the UE fails to receive the RAR. And perform subsequent operations (e.g., PRACH signal retransmission, PRACH power ramping, and / or PRACH transmission count increments).
- the eNB can efficiently utilize resources by configuring / transmitting only the RAR for the PRACH actually received within the RAR window compactly.
- the eNB may use only the first partial symbols / sections in the RAR window for RAR transmission and transmit DL / UL data / control channel for the remaining symbols.

In this case, the UE may select one or more SS block indexes, and may attempt to transmit PRACH preambles to RACH resources connected to each SS block.
- the UE If the UE does not receive the RAR within the RAR window, it attempts to transmit PRACH again, and the UE repeats this process. This is called PRACH retransmission.
- the UE ramps up the PRACH transmit power to some extent whenever retransmitting the PRACH.

- the RACH preamble may be sent in the next PRACH preamble resource for 1 or a PRACH preamble associated with another SS block, which is considered to be a different attempt than the previous RACH preamble transmission.
- PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_COUNTER representing the number of PRACH preamble retransmissions in Equation (2) is increased.
- the UE indicates "PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_COUNTER”. Increases.
- the amount of power ramping up may be different for each beam index.
- the amount of power ramped up by the UE may be set / signaled independently between beam indices, and calculation for power increase in retransmission is performed for each beam index.
- the calculation of the number of retransmissions (PREAMBLE_TRANSMISSION_COUNTER) is calculated by combining all the RACH resources even if the beam direction, that is, the RACH resources are different.
- the PRACH transmission power is calculated by calculating the PRACH preamble transmission number for each UE without calculating the PRACH preamble transmission number for each RACH resource.
- the path loss value may vary due to the different RS reception levels for each beam direction, that is, for each SS block. Accordingly, when the UE retransmits the PRACH preamble, the PRACH preamble transmission power compensates for the path loss for each RACH resource used for the PRACH preamble transmission. For example, assume that RACH resource j is associated with beam direction or SS block index j. PRACH transmission power P PRACH in the RACH resource j , j may be defined by equations (3) and (4).

Can transmit Even in the case of two or more, the offset of the received signal level of the best beam, the lane beam, the third best beam is signaled. This means that the UE may attempt PRACH preamble transmission only for beams coming within the corresponding offset in addition to the best beam.

- a method of selecting a RACH resource for a random access procedure among a plurality of RACH resources will be described.
- the RACH resource selection scheme for the random access procedure that is, the RACH procedure, is described in association with the PRACH retransmission scheme.
- Alt a means that when the UE transmits a PRACH, when there are a plurality of SS blocks received above a certain level, that is, when there are a plurality of preferred beam indices that are preferred, the UE preferentially receives a received signal strength level.
- the PRACH for this best SS block (best beam index) is transmitted first. If no RAR is received for the corresponding PRACH within a given RAR window, the UE retransmits the PRACH for that beam index.
- the UE preferentially transmits the PRACH preamble using the RACH resource associated with the SS block index having the best received signal strength level, and preferentially transmits the PRACH preamble to the SS block index having the best received signal strength even when retransmitting. Try.
- a, b, and c there are three preferred beam indexes of the UE, and each beam index is referred to as a, b, and c.
- beam index a corresponds to the best beam
- beam index c corresponds to the beam of the lowest quality among the preferred beams.
- the number of retransmissions for each beam index a, b, and c is called Ra, Rb, and Rc.
- the UE receives the Rb number (Rb ⁇ 1) for the next good beam index. You can try to resend. If RAR is not received despite Rb PRACH retransmission attempts, Rc times (Rc ⁇ 1) may be attempted for the next good beam index.
- the number of PRACH preamble retransmissions for each SS block index may be defined or set, respectively, and the UE first attempts to transmit the PRACH preamble for the SS block index having the best received signal strength. Retransmit the maximum number of retransmissions specified for the best SS block index.
- the UE receives the next reception quality. PRACH transmission can be attempted for this good SS block.
- each time the UE retransmits the PRACH it ramps up the power of the signal (delta) signaled to the UE to transmit the PRACH.
- a PRACH for beam index a is transmitted, power is ramped up.
- the PRACH for beam index a retransmits Ra times, ramps up the power for every retransmission until the maximum power is reached, and transmits at full power when retransmission for the corresponding beam index a when the maximum power is reached. If the RAR has not been received even after retransmitting the PRACH for the beam index a Ra times, the UE transmits the PRACH for the beam index b in the PRACH resource associated with the beam index b.
- the transmit power should be reset or initialized. That is, it does not transmit at the maximum power used in the PRACH transmission for the beam index a.
- the PRACH for the beam index b is transmitted using the power used for initial transmission, and when the RAR is not received and retransmits, the power is ramped up.
- the UE transmits the PRACH for the next good beam index c.
- the UE When attempting to transmit the PRACH preamble by changing the RACH resource, as in the power control scheme described in the method 1, the UE is initially based on the received signal strength (eg, RSRP) for the SS block associated with the corresponding RACH resource The transmit power value can be calculated. That is, when the UE retransmits the PRACH preamble, the PRACH preamble transmission power compensates for the path loss for each RACH resource or SS block index used for the PRACH preamble transmission.
- the received signal strength eg, RSRP
- the UE transmits the PRACH in the same process described above and has not received the RAR for this, that is, if it has not received the RAR for all the preferred beams it prefers, the UE reports this to the higher layer and reports the cell. Reselection may be performed. For example, unlike the power control method described in the above-described method 1, the UE may attempt power ramping for each beam index by separately using a power ramping counter for each beam index for RACH retransmission for a different beam index. have.
- the UE when the UE performs RACH preamble retransmission for another beam index (ie, SS block index), unlike the method 1 in which the number of retransmissions is counted regardless of beam indexes (ie, SS block indexes), in the present method, The number of retransmissions is not inherited.
- Alt b means that when the UE transmits a PRACH, when there are a plurality of SS blocks received above a certain signal strength level, that is, when there are a plurality of preferred beam indexes preferred, the UE preferentially receives a received signal.
- the PRACH for the best SS block (that is, the best beam index) is transmitted first with the strength level. For example, if there is more than one preferred beam index, the PRACH for the best beam index is transmitted first, and if the RAR is not received for the PRACH within a given RAR window, the next reception quality is good. Send a PRACH for the beam index.
- the PRACH for the next good beam index is transmitted. That is, when the UE has a plurality of SS block indexes having a predetermined level or more, the UE may sequentially perform PRACH preamble retransmission by sequentially selecting RACH preamble transmissions for the plurality of SS block indexes according to SS block reception quality. have. However, since the UE's PRACH preamble transmission for too many RACH resources may destabilize the performance of the system due to the ping-pong effect, the number of PRACH resources that the UE can attempt to transmit the PRACH preamble and the associated SS blocks. The range of reception quality may be limited.
- the network may signal the maximum number of SS blocks or the number of RACH resources and the offset value from the best SS block received signal strength that the UE can attempt to RACH in the PRACH configuration.
- the offset may be used to enable RACH preamble transmission only for SS block indexes within a range from the best SS block received signal strength.
- the UE may consider this as a PRACH retransmission and ramp up power when transmitting the next higher quality PRACH.
- the UE may consider this as a PRACH retransmission and ramp up power when transmitting the next higher quality PRACH.
- the PRACH since the PRACH is transmitted for another beam index, it may be desirable that power is not ramped up.
- the UE transmits each PRACH in its preferred beam index set it does not ramp up power if it first transmits the PRACH for a specific beam index. If the RAR is not received even though the UE attempts the PRACH once for all the preferred beam indices, the PRACH is transmitted again for the best beam index, but the power is ramped up.
- the UE may set a power ramping for each SS block index (or beam index) separately and try power ramping for each beam index, similar to Alt a described above.
- a path loss value may vary due to a different reception level for each beam direction, that is, for each SS block. Therefore, when the UE retransmits the PRACH preamble, the UE compensates the path loss for each RACH resource or SS block index used for the PRACH preamble transmission power.
- a, b, and c There are three indices, and each beam index is referred to as a, b, and c. Assume that beam index a corresponds to the best beam and beam index c corresponds to the beam of the lowest quality among the preferred beams.
- the number of retransmissions for each beam index a, b, and c is Ra, Rb, and Rc.
- the UE transmits a PRACH for the beam index a, and if it does not receive a RAR for the beam index a, transmits a PRACH for the beam index b, and transmits a PRACH for the beam index c when the RAR for the beam index is not received. If the RAR is not received for all beam indices of the UE, the UE transmits the PRACH for the beam index a again but ramps up the PRACH transmission power.
- the PRACH is transmitted with the power already ramped up one step for the next beam index b, that is, the transmission power used for the transmission of the PRACH for the previous beam index a.
- the PRACH for the beam index c is transmitted at the same power. While ramping power in this manner, the UE may retransmit the PRACH by rotating each beam index.
- Another way of setting the PRACH preamble transmit power is to ramp up power for retransmission in the same RACH resource, i.e., RACH resources associated with the same beam or the same SS block, and PRACH when moving to another RACH resource and retransmitting.
- the power value of the previous retransmission can be inherited as is without resetting or resetting the transmit power. That is, when the power is ramped up only for retransmission on the same RACH resource and the RACH resource is changed and retransmitted, the previous PRACH preamble transmission power can be inherited.
- the UE When the UE according to Alt c has a plurality of SS blocks that are received at a predetermined signal strength level or more, that is, when the UE itself has a plurality of preferred beam indices, the UE has a plurality of SS blocks.
- the PRACH preamble may be transmitted with respect to the UE. That is, the UE may transmit PRACHs for a plurality of beam indices, respectively, and may retry the PRACH when no RAR is received for any of the beam indices. For example, the UE may transmit PRACHs for beam indices a, b, and c, respectively, and wait for the RAR for this in the same window or in overlapping windows.
- the UE transmits the PRACH for the other beam index even without receiving the RAR for the specific beam index. If the RAR is not received for the PRACH transmission for the beam indices a, b and c, the UE may again retransmit the PRACH for the beam indices a, b and c. In this case, the UE ramps up and transmits the PRACH for each beam index.
- the UE may transmit a plurality of PRACHs without waiting for reception of the RAR.
- the PRACH for the same beam index cannot transmit the PRACH without waiting for RAR reception, that is, before the RAR transmission window arrives.
- the UE can transmit the PRACH at the time when the UE does not wait for the RAR reception for the PRACH transmitted by the UE may be limited to the case of the PRACH for different beam indexes.
- the method in which the UE attempts to transmit the PRACH while rotating the beam index in the manner of round robin is described, but the order and number of times the UE transmits the PRACH when the UE performs the round robin for the beam index are described. You can decide. Preferably, the best beam index is started first, and even if a channel in which a specific beam index is received with a certain quality or higher by the UE's selection, if the reception quality difference is large compared to other beam indexes, the UE is determined to have a good beam index. You can try PRACH transmission more often.
- RACH transmission as [a, b, a, b, c, a, b, a, b, c, ..], not [a, b, c, a, b, c, ..]
- the principle of power ramping ramps up power when retransmitting the same beam index, and ramps up power corresponding to the number of retransmissions for the corresponding beam index for another beam index.
- the first available PRACH resource may be the first available resource among the available RACH resources or a resource with the lowest total delay.
- the RACH resource corresponding to the beam with the highest amount of resources may be selected as the first available PRACH resource or as described above, the RACH resource may be selected as the first available PRACH resource in consideration of load and the like. It may be.
- the maximum number of PRACH (re) transmissions that a UE can transmit must be specified.
- the maximum number of retransmissions may be largely defined in two ways.
- the maximum (re) transmission number R may be designated for each UE.
- R Ra + Rb + Rc. That is, the PRACH maximum retransmission number R for each UE is defined and signaled, and this value may be the sum of the maximum retransmission number for each beam index.
- the maximum number of retransmissions for each beam index may be set to be the same or different.
- the maximum number of retransmissions R may be specified for each beam index.
- the UE retransmits the PRACH a maximum number of times per beam index and attempts PRACH for another beam index.
- the maximum number of retransmissions is defined for each beam index, the UE may determine the maximum number of retransmissions for each beam index. That is, even if the maximum number of retransmissions is Ra for the beam index a, the UE may retransmit PRACH for Rx (Rx ⁇ Ra) times for the corresponding beam index a.
- Rmax ⁇ Ra + Rb + Rc.
- a PRACH resource is set for each beam index for a UE requiring beamforming due to a certain distance from the eNB, UEs in a cell center need not receive RX beamforming at the eNB. . Therefore, the PRACH resource may be separately configured according to the coverage class of the UE.
- the UE may transmit a PRACH through a common PRACH resource, and the eNB may not necessarily perform RX beamforming on the resource. Since the resource region is not limited to a specific beam direction, waste of resources can be prevented.
- UEs that transmit a PRACH on a resource configured to receive the PRACH pre-directionally are mainly UEs having relatively little propagation loss or blockage or located in a cell center or have a very good channel condition.
- a separate common PRACH resource may be allocated for the corresponding UEs. In the common PRACH resource, the UE may repeatedly transmit the PRACH regardless of the beam index.
- the UE may transmit the PRACH for each beam index by using the beam index specific PRACH resource in the above-described manner.
- the UE transmits PRACH for the best beam index and retries PRACH transmission for the beam index if no RAR is transmitted within a given window. .
- This retry can be attempted x (x ⁇ 1) times and if the RAR reception is unsuccessful even after x attempts, the PRACH is sent for the next good beam index and waits to receive the RAR within the given window. .
- the PRACH for the corresponding beam index may be attempted y (y ⁇ 1) times. If the RAR is not received after the y attempts, the PRACH transmission for the next good beam index is performed.
- the UE may transmit a preferred beam index (eg, SS block index) set along with its C-RNTI if possible via the PUSCH. Based on this report on the beam index, the eNB may select and transmit a specific beam index within the beam index set when scheduling to the UE.
- a preferred beam index eg, SS block index

- the eNB receiving the RACH message 3 from the UE transmits the RACH message 4 to the UE, in general, the RACH message 4 has a purpose for contention resolution.
- the eNB based on the best N beam indexes (beam information) reported by the UE, the eNB signals in the beam indexer RACH message 4 to be used for data transmission to the UE.
- the eNB may signal one or more plurality of beam indices.
- the UE expects to transmit its PDCCH / PDSCH in a direction corresponding to the signaled beam index and may perform RX beamforming in the corresponding direction.
- uplink transmission such as PUSCH / PUCCH is performed in a direction corresponding to the signaled beam index.
- the UE reports its preferred beam index as follows. The following scheme may also be used when the UE's preferred beam direction is changed / added.
- Method 1 The UE that has acquired the PRACH resource information for each beam index may transmit a PRACH to each PRACH resource for each beam index, thereby informing the eNB that the channel quality of the beam index is good.
- the UE may perform RSRP measurement by measuring RS for each beam index.
