1 illustrates a wireless communication system to which the present disclosure can be applied. This may also be called an Evolved-UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN), or a Long Term Evolution (LTE)/LTE-A system.

E-UTRAN includes a base station (20: Base Station, BS) that provides a control plane (control plane) and a user plane (user plane) to the terminal (10: User Equipment, UE). The terminal 10 may be fixed or mobile, and may be called by other terms such as a mobile station (MS), a user terminal (UT), a subscriber station (SS), a mobile terminal (MT), and a wireless device. . The base station 20 refers to a fixed station that communicates with the terminal 10 and may be called by other terms such as an evolved-NodeB (eNB), a base transceiver system (BTS), and an access point.

The base stations 20 may be connected to each other through an X2 interface. The base station 20 is connected to an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) 30 through an S1 interface, more specifically, a Mobility Management Entity (MME) through S1-MME and a Serving Gateway (S-GW) through S1-U.

The EPC 30 is composed of an MME, an S-GW, and a Packet Data Network-Gateway (P-GW). The MME has access information of the terminal or information about the capability of the terminal, and this information is mainly used for mobility management of the terminal. The S-GW is a gateway having E-UTRAN as an endpoint, and the P-GW is a gateway having a PDN as an endpoint.

The layers of the Radio Interface Protocol between the terminal and the network are L1 (Layer 1), It can be divided into L2 (2nd layer) and L3 (3rd layer), of which the physical layer belonging to the first layer provides an information transfer service using a physical channel, The RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer located in the third layer performs a role of controlling radio resources between the terminal and the network. To this end, the RRC layer exchanges RRC messages between the terminal and the base station.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a radio protocol architecture for a user plane. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a radio protocol structure for a control plane. The user plane is a protocol stack for transmitting user data, and the control plane is a protocol stack for transmitting a control signal.

2 and 3 , a physical layer (PHY (physical) layer) provides an information transfer service to an upper layer by using a physical channel. The physical layer is connected to a medium access control (MAC) layer, which is an upper layer, through a transport channel. Data moves between the MAC layer and the physical layer through the transport channel. Transmission channels are classified according to how and with what characteristics data are transmitted through the air interface.

Data moves through physical channels between different physical layers, that is, between the physical layers of the transmitter and the receiver. The physical channel may be modulated in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme, and time and frequency are used as radio resources.

The functions of the MAC layer include mapping between logical channels and transport channels and multiplexing/demultiplexing into transport blocks provided as physical channels on transport channels of MAC service data units (SDUs) belonging to logical channels. The MAC layer provides a service to the RLC (Radio Link Control) layer through a logical channel.

The functions of the RLC layer include concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC SDUs. In order to guarantee various QoS (Quality of Service) required by Radio Bearer (RB), the RLC layer has a transparent mode (Transparent Mode, TM), an unacknowledged mode (Unacknowledged Mode, UM) and an acknowledged mode (Acknowledged Mode). , AM) provides three operation modes. AM RLC provides error correction through automatic repeat request (ARQ).

The RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer is defined only in the control plane. The RRC layer is responsible for controlling logical channels, transport channels, and physical channels in relation to configuration, re-configuration, and release of radio bearers. RB means a logical path provided by the first layer (PHY layer) and the second layer (MAC layer, RLC layer, PDCP layer) for data transfer between the terminal and the network.

Functions of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer in the user plane include delivery of user data, header compression, and ciphering. Functions of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer in the control plane include transmission of control plane data and encryption/integrity protection.

Setting the RB means defining the characteristics of a radio protocol layer and channel to provide a specific service, and setting each specific parameter and operation method. The RB may be further divided into a signaling RB (SRB) and a data RB (DRB). The SRB is used as a path for transmitting an RRC message in the control plane, and the DRB is used as a path for transmitting user data in the user plane.

When an RRC connection is established between the RRC layer of the UE and the RRC layer of the E-UTRAN, the UE is in an RRC connected state, otherwise, it is in an RRC idle state.

As a downlink transmission channel for transmitting data from a network to a terminal, there are a BCH (Broadcast Channel) for transmitting system information and a downlink SCH (Shared Channel) for transmitting user traffic or control messages. Traffic or control messages of downlink multicast or broadcast services may be transmitted through a downlink SCH or may be transmitted through a separate downlink multicast channel (MCH). On the other hand, as an uplink transport channel for transmitting data from the terminal to the network, there are a random access channel (RACH) for transmitting an initial control message and an uplink shared channel (SCH) for transmitting user traffic or control messages.

The logical channels that are located above the transport channel and are mapped to the transport channel include a Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH), a Paging Control Channel (PCCH), a Common Control Channel (CCCH), a Multicast Control Channel (MCCH), and a Multicast Traffic Channel (MTCH). channels), etc.

A physical channel consists of several OFDM symbols in the time domain and several sub-carriers in the frequency domain. One sub-frame is composed of a plurality of OFDM symbols in the time domain. A resource block is a resource allocation unit and includes a plurality of OFDM symbols and a plurality of sub-carriers. In addition, each subframe may use specific subcarriers of specific OFDM symbols (eg, the first OFDM symbol) of the corresponding subframe for a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), that is, an L1/L2 control channel. A Transmission Time Interval (TTI) is a unit time of transmission, and may be, for example, a subframe or a slot.

Hereinafter, a new radio access technology (new RAT, NR) will be described.

As more and more communication devices require greater communication capacity, there is a need for improved mobile broadband communication compared to a conventional radio access technology (RAT). Massive Machine Type Communications (MTC), which provides various services anytime, anywhere by connecting multiple devices and objects, is also one of the major issues to be considered in next-generation communication. In addition, a communication system design in consideration of a service/terminal sensitive to reliability and latency is being discussed. The introduction of a next-generation wireless access technology in consideration of such extended mobile broadband communication, massive MTC, and URLLC (Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communication) is being discussed, and in this disclosure, for convenience, the technology is called new RAT or NR.

4 shows another example of a wireless communication system to which the technical features of the present disclosure can be applied.

Specifically, FIG. 4 shows a system architecture based on a 5G new radio access technology (NR) system. An entity used in a 5G NR system (hereinafter simply referred to as “NR”) may absorb some or all functions of an entity (eg, eNB, MME, S-GW) introduced in FIG. 1 . An entity used in the NR system may be identified with the name "NG" to distinguish it from LTE.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the wireless communication system includes one or more UEs 11 , a next-generation RAN (NG-RAN), and a 5th generation core network (5GC). The NG-RAN consists of at least one NG-RAN node. The NG-RAN node is an entity corresponding to the BS 20 shown in FIG. 1 . The NG-RAN node is configured with at least one gNB 21 and/or at least one ng-eNB 22 . The gNB 21 provides termination of the NR user plane and control plane protocol towards the UE 11 . The Ng-eNB 22 provides termination of the E-UTRA user plane and control plane protocol towards the UE 11 .

5GC includes an access and mobility management function (AMF), a user plane function (UPF), and a session management function (SMF). AMF hosts functions such as NAS security, idle state mobility handling, and more. The AMF is an entity that includes the functions of the conventional MME. UPF hosts functions such as mobility anchoring and protocol data unit (PDU) processing. The UPF is an entity that includes the functions of the conventional S-GW. SMF hosts functions such as UE IP address assignment and PDU session control.

gNB and ng-eNB are interconnected via Xn interface. gNB and ng-eNB are also connected to 5GC via NG interface. More specifically, it is connected to the AMF via the NG-C interface and to the UPF via the NG-U interface.

5 illustrates functional partitioning between NG-RAN and 5GC.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the gNB is inter-cell radio resource management (Inter Cell RRM), radio bearer management (RB control), connection mobility control (Connection Mobility Control), radio admission control (Radio Admission Control), measurement setup and provision Functions such as (Measurement configuration & Provision) and dynamic resource allocation may be provided. AMF may provide functions such as NAS security, idle state mobility processing, and the like. The UPF may provide functions such as mobility anchoring and PDU processing. A Session Management Function (SMF) may provide functions such as terminal IP address assignment and PDU session control.

6 illustrates a frame structure applicable in NR.

Referring to FIG. 6 , a frame may be configured for 10 milliseconds (ms), and may include 10 subframes configured for 1 ms.

In NR, uplink and downlink transmission may be composed of frames. A radio frame has a length of 10 ms and may be defined as two 5 ms half-frames (HF). A half-frame may be defined as 5 1ms subframes (Subframe, SF). A subframe is divided into one or more slots, and the number of slots in a subframe depends on subcarrier spacing (SCS). Each slot includes 12 or 14 OFDM(A) symbols according to a cyclic prefix (CP). When a normal CP is used, each slot includes 14 symbols. When the extended CP is used, each slot includes 12 symbols. Here, the symbol may include an OFDM symbol (or a CP-OFDM symbol) and an SC-FDMA symbol (or a DFT-s-OFDM symbol).

One or a plurality of slots may be included in the subframe according to subcarrier spacing.

Table 1 below illustrates a subcarrier spacing configuration μ.

Table 2 below illustrates the number of slots in a frame (N ^frameμ _slot ), the number of slots in a ^subframe _{(N subframeμ slot} ), and the number of symbols in a ^slot _{(N slot symb} ) according to subcarrier spacing configuration μ. .

Table 3 illustrates the number of symbols per slot, the number of slots per frame, and the number of slots per subframe (SF) according to SCS when the extended CP is used.

NR supports multiple numerology (or subcarrier spacing (SCS)) to support various 5G services. For example, when SCS is 15kHz, it supports a wide area in traditional cellular bands, and when SCS is 30kHz/60kHz, dense-urban, lower latency and a wider carrier bandwidth, and when the SCS is 60 kHz or higher, a bandwidth greater than 24.25 GHz to overcome phase noise.

The NR frequency band may be defined as two types of frequency ranges (FR1, FR2). The numerical value of the frequency range may be changed, and for example, the frequency ranges of the two types (FR1, FR2) may be as shown in Table 4 below. For convenience of explanation, among the frequency ranges used in the NR system, FR1 may mean “sub 6GHz range” and FR2 may mean “above 6GHz range” and may be called millimeter wave (mmW). .

Frequency Range designation	Corresponding frequency range	Subcarrier Spacing
FR1	450MHz - 6000MHz	15, 30, 60 kHz
FR2	24250MHz - 52600MHz	60, 120, 240 kHz

As mentioned above, the numerical value of the frequency range of the NR system can be changed. For example, FR1 may include a band of 410 MHz to 7125 MHz as shown in Table 5 below. That is, FR1 may include a frequency band of 6 GHz (or 5850, 5900, 5925 MHz, etc.) or higher. For example, a frequency band of 6 GHz (or 5850, 5900, 5925 MHz, etc.) included in FR1 may include an unlicensed band. The unlicensed band may be used for various purposes, for example, for communication for a vehicle (eg, autonomous driving).

Frequency Range designation	Corresponding frequency range	Subcarrier Spacing
FR1	410MHz - 7125MHz	15, 30, 60 kHz
FR2	24250MHz - 52600MHz	60, 120, 240 kHz

In the NR system, OFDM(A) numerology (eg, SCS, CP length, etc.) may be set differently between a plurality of cells merged into one UE. Accordingly, an (absolute time) interval of a time resource (eg, SF, slot, or TTI) (commonly referred to as a TU (Time Unit) for convenience) composed of the same number of symbols may be set differently between the merged cells.

7 shows a slot structure.

Referring to FIG. 7 , a slot includes a plurality of symbols in the time domain. For example, in the case of a normal CP, one slot may include 14 symbols, but in the case of an extended CP, one slot may include 12 symbols. Alternatively, in the case of a normal CP, one slot may include 7 symbols, but in the case of an extended CP, one slot may include 6 symbols.

A carrier wave includes a plurality of subcarriers in the frequency domain. A resource block (RB) may be defined as a plurality of (eg, 12) consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. A bandwidth part (BWP) may be defined as a plurality of consecutive (P)RBs in the frequency domain, and may correspond to one numerology (eg, SCS, CP length, etc.). A carrier may include a maximum of N (eg, 5) BWPs. Data communication may be performed through the activated BWP. Each element may be referred to as a resource element (RE) in the resource grid, and one complex symbol may be mapped.

A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) may include one or more control channel elements (CCEs) as shown in the following table.

Aggregation level	Number of CCEs
One	One
2	2
4	4
8	8
16	16

That is, the PDCCH may be transmitted through a resource composed of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 CCEs. Here, the CCE consists of six resource element groups (REGs), and one REG consists of one resource block in the frequency domain and one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol in the time domain.

Meanwhile, in NR, a new unit called a control resource set (CORESET) may be introduced. The UE may receive the PDCCH in CORESET.

8 illustrates CORESET.

Referring to FIG. 8 , CORESET may ^{be composed of N CORESET} _RB resource blocks in the frequency domain, and may be composed of N ^CORESET _symb ∈ {1, 2, 3} symbols in the time domain. N ^CORESET _RB and N ^CORESET _symb may be provided by the base station through a higher layer signal. As shown in FIG. 8 , a plurality of CCEs (or REGs) may be included in CORESET.

The UE may attempt PDCCH detection in CORESET in units of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 CCEs. One or a plurality of CCEs capable of attempting PDCCH detection may be referred to as PDCCH candidates.

The UE may receive a plurality of CORESETs set.

9 is a diagram illustrating a difference between a conventional control region and CORESET in NR.

Referring to FIG. 9 , the control region 300 in the conventional wireless communication system (eg, LTE/LTE-A) is configured over the entire system band used by the base station. All terminals except for some terminals supporting only a narrow band (eg, eMTC/NB-IoT terminals) receive radio signals of the entire system band of the base station in order to properly receive/decode the control information transmitted by the base station. should be able

On the other hand, in NR, the aforementioned CORESET was introduced. The CORESETs 301, 302, and 303 may be said to be radio resources for control information to be received by the terminal, and only a part of the system band may be used instead of the entire system band. The base station may allocate a CORESET to each terminal, and may transmit control information through the allocated CORESET. For example, in FIG. 9 , a first CORESET 301 may be allocated to UE 1 , a second CORESET 302 may be allocated to UE 2 , and a third CORESET 303 may be allocated to UE 3 . In NR, the terminal may receive control information of the base station even if it does not necessarily receive the entire system band.

In the CORESET, there may be a terminal-specific CORESET for transmitting terminal-specific control information and a common CORESET for transmitting control information common to all terminals.

On the other hand, in NR, high reliability may be required depending on the application field, and in this situation, downlink control information (DCI) transmitted through a downlink control channel (eg, physical downlink control channel: PDCCH) ), the target block error rate (BLER) can be significantly lower than in the prior art. As an example of a method for satisfying such a high reliability requirement, the amount of content included in DCI may be reduced, and/or the amount of resources used during DCI transmission may be increased. . In this case, the resource may include at least one of a resource in a time domain, a resource in a frequency domain, a resource in a code domain, and a resource in a space domain.

Meanwhile, in NR, the following technology/features may be applied.

<Self-contained subframe structure>

10 shows an example of a frame structure for a new radio access technology.

In NR, as shown in FIG. 10 for the purpose of minimizing latency, a structure in which a control channel and a data channel are time division multiplexed (TDM) in one TTI is considered as one of the frame structures. can be

In FIG. 10, a hatched area indicates a downlink control area, and a black area indicates an uplink control area. An area without an indication may be used for downlink data (DL data) transmission or uplink data (UL data) transmission. A characteristic of this structure is that downlink (DL) transmission and uplink (UL) transmission are sequentially performed in one subframe, and DL data is transmitted in a subframe, and UL ACK / Acknowledgment/Not-acknowledgement (NACK) may also be received. As a result, when a data transmission error occurs, the time taken until data retransmission is reduced, thereby minimizing the latency of final data transmission.

In a data and control TDMed subframe structure in which such a data and control region is TDMed, a time gap for the process of switching between the base station and the terminal from the transmit mode to the receive mode or from the receive mode to the transmit mode ) is required. To this end, some OFDM symbols at the time of switching from DL to UL in the self-contained subframe structure may be set as a guard period (GP).

11 is an example of a self-contained slot structure.

Referring to FIG. 11 , one slot may have a self-contained structure in which all of a DL control channel, DL or UL data, and a UL control channel may be included. For example, the first N symbols in a slot may be used to transmit a DL control channel (hereinafter, DL control region), and the last M symbols in a slot may be used to transmit a UL control channel (hereinafter, UL control region). N and M are each an integer greater than or equal to 0. A resource region (hereinafter, referred to as a data region) between the DL control region and the UL control region may be used for DL data transmission or UL data transmission. As an example, the following configuration may be considered. Each section is listed in chronological order.

1. DL only configuration

2. UL only configuration

3. Mixed UL-DL configuration

- DL area + GP (Guard Period) + UL control area

- DL control area + GP + UL area

Here, the DL region may be (i) a DL data region, (ii) a DL control region + a DL data region. The UL region may be (i) a UL data region, (ii) a UL data region + a UL control region.

The PDCCH may be transmitted in the DL control region, and the PDSCH may be transmitted in the DL data region. The PUCCH may be transmitted in the UL control region, and the PUSCH may be transmitted in the UL data region. In the PDCCH, downlink control information (DCI), for example, DL data scheduling information, UL data scheduling information, etc. may be transmitted. In the PUCCH, Uplink Control Information (UCI), for example, ACK/NACK (Positive Acknowledgment/Negative Acknowledgment) information for DL data, CSI (Channel State Information) information, SR (Scheduling Request), etc. may be transmitted. The GP provides a time gap between the base station and the terminal in the process of switching from the transmission mode to the reception mode or in the process of switching from the reception mode to the transmission mode. Some symbols at the time of switching from DL to UL in a subframe may be set to GP.

<Analog beamforming #1>

In millimeter wave (mmW), the wavelength is shortened, so that a plurality of antenna elements can be installed in the same area. That is, in the 30 GHz band, the wavelength is 1 cm, and a total of 100 antenna elements can be installed in a 2-dimensional array form at 0.5 wavelength (lambda) intervals on a 5 by 5 cm panel. Therefore, mmW uses a plurality of antenna elements to increase a beamforming (BF) gain to increase coverage or increase throughput.

In this case, if a transceiver unit (TXRU) is provided to enable transmission power and phase adjustment for each antenna element, independent beamforming for each frequency resource is possible. However, to install the TXRU in all 100 antenna elements (element), there is a problem that the effectiveness in terms of price is inferior. Therefore, a method of mapping a plurality of antenna elements to one TXRU and adjusting the direction of a beam with an analog phase shifter is being considered. This analog beamforming method has a disadvantage in that frequency selective beamforming cannot be performed because only one beam direction can be made in the entire band.

As an intermediate form between digital beamforming (Digital BF) and analog beamforming (analog BF), hybrid beamforming (hybrid BF) having B TXRUs, which is less than Q antenna elements, may be considered. In this case, although there is a difference according to the connection method of the B TXRUs and the Q antenna elements, the direction of beams that can be transmitted simultaneously is limited to B or less.

<Analog beamforming #2>

In the NR system, when multiple antennas are used, a hybrid beamforming technique combining digital beamforming and analog beamforming is emerging. At this time, analog beamforming (or RF beamforming) performs precoding (or combining) at the RF stage, which results in the number of RF chains and the number of D/A (or A/D) converters. It has the advantage of being able to achieve performance close to digital beamforming while reducing the For convenience, the hybrid beamforming structure may be represented by N TXRUs and M physical antennas. Then, digital beamforming for L data layers to be transmitted from the transmitter may be expressed as an N by L matrix, and then the N digital signals converted into analog signals through TXRU. After conversion, analog beamforming expressed by an M by N matrix is applied.

12 is an abstract diagram of a hybrid beamforming structure from the viewpoint of the TXRU and the physical antenna.

12, the number of digital beams is L, and the number of analog beams is N. Furthermore, in the NR system, a direction for supporting more efficient beamforming to a terminal located in a specific area is considered by designing a base station to change analog beamforming in units of symbols. Furthermore, when defining N specific TXRUs and M RF antennas as one antenna panel in FIG. 12, the NR system considers introducing a plurality of antenna panels to which hybrid beamforming independent of each other is applicable. is becoming

As described above, when the base station uses a plurality of analog beams, since analog beams advantageous for signal reception may be different for each terminal, at least a specific subframe for a synchronization signal, system information, paging, etc. In , a beam sweeping operation in which a plurality of analog beams to be applied by a base station is changed for each symbol so that all terminals can have a reception opportunity is being considered.

13 shows a synchronization signal and a PBCH (SS/PBCH) block.

According to FIG. 13, the SS/PBCH block spans PSS and SSS occupying 1 symbol and 127 subcarriers, respectively, and 3 OFDM symbols and 240 subcarriers, but on one symbol, an unused portion for SSS is in the middle It consists of the remaining PBCH. The periodicity of the SS/PBCH block may be set by the network, and the time position at which the SS/PBCH block may be transmitted may be determined by subcarrier spacing.

Polar coding may be used for the PBCH. The UE may assume a band-specific subcarrier interval for the SS/PBCH block unless the network sets the UE to assume different subcarrier intervals.

PBCH symbols carry their frequency-multiplexed DMRS. QPSK modulation may be used for PBCH. 1008 unique physical layer cell IDs may be given.

For a half frame with SS/PBCH blocks, first symbol indices for candidate SS/PBCH blocks are determined according to subcarrier spacing of SS/PBCH blocks, which will be described later.

- Case A - Subcarrier spacing 15 kHz: The first symbols of candidate SS/PBCH blocks have an index of {2, 8} + 14*n. For carrier frequencies below 3 GHz, n = 0, 1. For carrier frequencies above 3 GHz and below 6 GHz, n = 0, 1, 2, 3.

- Case B - Subcarrier spacing 30 kHz: The first symbols of the candidate SS/PBCH blocks have an index of {4, 8, 16, 20}+28*n. For carrier frequencies below 3 GHz, n=0. For carrier frequencies greater than 3 GHz and less than or equal to 6 GHz, n = 0, 1.

- Case C - Subcarrier spacing 30 kHz: The first symbols of the candidate SS/PBCH blocks have an index of {2, 8}+14*n. For carrier frequencies below 3 GHz, n = 0, 1. For carrier frequencies above 3 GHz and below 6 GHz, n = 0, 1, 2, 3.

- Case D - Subcarrier spacing 120 kHz: The first symbols of the candidate SS/PBCH blocks have an index of {4, 8, 16, 20}+28*n. For carrier frequencies above 6 GHz, n=0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18.

- Case E - Subcarrier spacing 240 kHz: The first symbols of the candidate SS/PBCH blocks have an index of {8, 12, 16, 20, 32, 36, 40, 44}+56*n. For carrier frequencies above 6 GHz, n=0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Candidate SS/PBCH blocks in a half frame are indexed in ascending order from 0 to L-1 on the time axis. The UE must determine 2 LSB bits for L=4 and 3 LSB bits for L>4 of the SS/PBCH block index per half frame from one-to-one mapping with the index of the DM-RS sequence transmitted in the PBCH do. For L=64, the UE must determine 3 MSB bits of the SS/PBCH block index per half frame by the PBCH payload bits.

By the higher layer parameter 'SSB-transmitted-SIB1', the index of SS/PBCH blocks in which the UE cannot receive other signals or channels in REs overlapping with REs corresponding to SS/PBCH blocks is set. can be In addition, according to the higher layer parameter 'SSB-transmitted', the index of SS/PBCH blocks per serving cell in which the UE cannot receive other signals or channels in REs overlapping the REs corresponding to the SS/PBCH blocks. can be set. The setting by 'SSB-transmitted' may take precedence over the setting by 'SSB-transmitted-SIB1'. A periodicity of a half frame for reception of SS/PBCH blocks per serving cell may be set by a higher layer parameter 'SSB-periodicityServingCell'. If the UE does not set the periodicity of the half frame for the reception of SS/PBCH blocks, the UE must assume the periodicity of the half frame. The UE may assume that the periodicity is the same for all SS/PBCH blocks in the serving cell.

14 is for explaining a method for a terminal to obtain timing information.

First, the UE may obtain 6-bit SFN information through a Master Information Block (MIB) received in the PBCH. In addition, SFN 4 bits can be obtained in the PBCH transport block.

Second, the UE may obtain a 1-bit half frame indicator as part of the PBCH payload. Below 3 GHz, the half frame indicator may be implicitly signaled as part of the PBCH DMRS for Lmax=4.

Finally, the UE may obtain the SS/PBCH block index by the DMRS sequence and the PBCH payload. That is, LSB 3 bits of the SS block index can be obtained by the DMRS sequence for a period of 5 ms. Also, the MSB 3 bits of timing information are explicitly carried within the PBCH payload (for >6 GHz).

In the initial cell selection, the UE may assume that a half frame with SS/PBCH blocks occurs with a periodicity of 2 frames. If it detects the SS / PBCH block, the terminal, and if the k for the FR1 and _SSB ≤23 ≤11 _SSB and k for FR2, Type0-PDCCH common search space (common search space) is determined that the present controlled set of resources for do. The UE determines that there is no control resource set for the Type0-PDCCH common search space if _{k SSB} >23 _{for FR1 and k SSB > 11 for FR2.}

For a serving cell without transmission of SS/PBCH blocks, the UE acquires time and frequency synchronization of the serving cell based on reception of SS/PBCH blocks on the PSCell or the primary cell of the cell group for the serving cell.

Hereinafter, system information acquisition will be described.

System information (SI) is divided into a MasterInformationBlock (MIB) and a plurality of SystemInformationBlocks (SIBs). here,

- MIB has a period of 80 ms and is always transmitted on BCH and is repeated within 80 ms, and includes parameters necessary to obtain SystemInformationBlockType1 (SIB1) from the cell;

- SIB1 is transmitted with periodicity and repetition on the DL-SCH. SIB1 includes information on availability and scheduling (eg, periodicity, SI-window size) of other SIBs. It also indicates whether these (ie, other SIBs) are provided on a periodic broadcast basis or upon request. If other SIBs are provided by request, SIB1 includes information for the UE to perform the SI request;

- SIBs other than SIB1 are carried in a SystemInformation (SI) message transmitted on the DL-SCH. Each SI message is transmitted within a periodically occurring time domain window (called an SI-window);

- For the PSCell and secondary cells, the RAN provides the necessary SI by dedicated signaling. Nevertheless, the UE must acquire the MIB of the PSCell to obtain the SFN timing of the SCH (which may be different from the MCG). When the related SI for the secondary cell is changed, the RAN releases and adds the related secondary cell. For the PSCell, the SI can only be changed by reconfiguration with Sync.

15 shows an example of a process of acquiring system information of a terminal.

According to FIG. 15 , the terminal may receive the MIB from the network and then receive the SIB1. Thereafter, the terminal may transmit a system information request to the network, and may receive a 'SystemInformation message' from the network in response thereto.

The terminal may apply a system information acquisition procedure for acquiring AS (access stratum) and NAS (non-access stratum) information.

UEs in RRC_IDLE and RRC_INACTIVE states must ensure (at least) valid versions of MIB, SIB1 and SystemInformationBlockTypeX (according to the relevant RAT support for UE-controlled mobility).

The UE in the RRC_CONNECTED state must ensure valid versions of MIB, SIB1, and SystemInformationBlockTypeX (according to mobility support for the related RAT).

The UE must store the related SI obtained from the currently camped/serving cell. The SI version obtained and stored by the terminal is valid only for a certain period of time. The UE may use this stored version of the SI after, for example, cell reselection, return from coverage, or system information change indication.

Hereinafter, random access will be described.

The random access procedure of the UE can be summarized as in the following table.

16 is for explaining a random access procedure.

Referring to FIG. 16 , first, the UE may transmit a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble in uplink as message (Msg) 1 of the random access procedure.

Random access preamble sequences having two different lengths are supported. Long sequences of length 839 apply to subcarrier spacings of 1.25 kHz and 5 kHz, and short sequences of length 139 apply to subcarrier spacings of 15, 30, 60, and 120 kHz. A long sequence supports an unrestricted set and a limited set of types A and B, whereas a short sequence supports only an unrestricted set.

A plurality of RACH preamble formats are defined with one or more RACH OFDM symbols, a different cyclic prefix (CP), and a guard time. The PRACH preamble configuration to be used is provided to the UE as system information.

If there is no response to Msg1, the UE may retransmit the power-rammed PRACH preamble within a prescribed number of times. The UE calculates the PRACH transmission power for retransmission of the preamble based on the most recent estimated path loss and power ramping counter. If the UE performs beam switching, the power ramping counter does not change.

17 is a diagram for describing a power ramping counter.

The UE may perform power ramping for retransmission of the random access preamble based on the power ramping counter. Here, as described above, the power ramping counter does not change when the UE performs beam switching during PRACH retransmission.

Referring to FIG. 17, when the UE retransmits the random access preamble for the same beam, such as when the power ramping counter increases from 1 to 2 and from 3 to 4, the UE increments the power ramping counter by 1. However, when the beam is changed, the power ramping counter does not change during PRACH retransmission.

18 is for explaining the concept of the threshold value of the SS block for the RACH resource relationship.

The system information informs the UE of the relationship between SS blocks and RACH resources. The threshold of the SS block for the RACH resource relationship is based on RSRP and network configuration. Transmission or retransmission of the RACH preamble is based on an SS block that satisfies a threshold. Accordingly, in the example of FIG. 18 , since the SS block m exceeds the threshold of the received power, the RACH preamble is transmitted or retransmitted based on the SS block m.

Thereafter, when the UE receives a random access response on the DL-SCH, the DL-SCH may provide timing arrangement information, an RA-preamble ID, an initial uplink grant, and a temporary C-RNTI.

Based on the information, the UE may perform uplink transmission on the UL-SCH as Msg3 of the random access procedure. Msg3 may include the RRC connection request and UE identifier.

In response, the network may transmit Msg4, which may be treated as a contention resolution message, in downlink. By receiving this, the terminal can enter the RRC connected state.

<bandwidth part (BWP)>

In the NR system, up to 400 megahertz (MHz) per component carrier (CC) may be supported. If the terminal operating in such a wideband CC always operates with the RF for the entire CC turned on, the terminal battery consumption may increase. Alternatively, when considering several use cases (eg, eMBB, URLLC, mMTC, etc.) operating within one broadband CC, different numerology for each frequency band within the CC (eg, subcarrier spacing -carrier spacing: SCS)) may be supported. Alternatively, the capability for the maximum bandwidth may be different for each terminal. In consideration of this, the base station may instruct the terminal to operate only in a partial bandwidth rather than the entire bandwidth of the broadband CC, and the partial bandwidth is defined as a bandwidth part (BWP) for convenience. BWP may be composed of continuous resource blocks (RBs) on the frequency axis, and one numerology (eg, subcarrier interval, cyclic prefix (CP) length, slot/mini-slot) duration, etc.).

On the other hand, the base station may set a plurality of BWPs even within one CC configured for the terminal. For example, in a PDCCH monitoring slot, a BWP occupying a relatively small frequency region may be configured, and a PDSCH indicated by the PDCCH may be scheduled on a larger BWP. Alternatively, when terminals are concentrated in a specific BWP, some terminals may be set to other BWPs for load balancing. Alternatively, in consideration of frequency domain inter-cell interference cancellation between neighboring cells, a partial spectrum from the entire bandwidth may be excluded and both BWPs may be configured in the same slot. That is, the base station may set at least one DL/UL BWP to a terminal associated with a wideband CC, and at least one DL/UL BWP among DL/UL BWP(s) set at a specific time. It can be activated (by L1 signaling or MAC CE or RRC signaling, etc.), and switching to another configured DL / UL BWP can be indicated (by L1 signaling or MAC CE or RRC signaling, etc.) When the value expires, it may be switched to a predetermined DL/UL BWP. In this case, the activated DL/UL BWP is defined as an active DL/UL BWP. However, in a situation such as when the terminal is in the process of initial access or before the RRC connection is set up, it may not receive the configuration for DL/UL BWP. In this situation, the DL assumed by the terminal /UL BWP is defined as an initial active DL/UL BWP.

<DRX(Discontinuous Reception)>

Discontinuous Reception (DRX) refers to an operation mode in which User Equipment (UE) reduces battery consumption so that the UE can discontinuously receive a downlink channel. That is, the terminal configured for DRX can reduce power consumption by discontinuously receiving the DL signal.

The DRX operation is performed within a DRX cycle indicating a time interval in which On Duration is periodically repeated. The DRX cycle includes an on-period and a sleep period (Sleep Duration) (or a chance of DRX). The on-period indicates a time interval during which the UE monitors the PDCCH to receive the PDCCH.

DRX may be performed in RRC (Radio Resource Control)_IDLE state (or mode), RRC_INACTIVE state (or mode), or RRC_CONNECTED state (or mode). In RRC_IDLE state and RRC_INACTIVE state, DRX may be used to receive paging signal discontinuously.

- RRC_IDLE state: a state in which a radio connection (RRC connection) is not established between the base station and the terminal.

- RRC_INACTIVE state: A wireless connection (RRC connection) is established between the base station and the terminal, but the wireless connection is inactive.

- RRC_CONNECTED state: A state in which a radio connection (RRC connection) is established between the base station and the terminal.

DRX can be basically divided into idle (idle) mode DRX, connected (Connected) DRX (C-DRX), and extended (extended) DRX.

DRX applied in the IDLE state may be named idle mode DRX, and DRX applied in the CONNECTED state may be named connected mode DRX (C-DRX).

Extended/Enhanced DRX (eDRX) is a mechanism that can extend the cycles of idle mode DRX and C-DRX, and Extended/Enhanced DRX (eDRX) can be mainly used for (massive) IoT applications. In idle mode DRX, whether to allow eDRX may be configured based on system information (eg, SIB1). SIB1 may include an eDRX-allowed parameter. The eDRX-allowed parameter is a parameter indicating whether idle mode extended DRX is allowed.

<idle mode DRX>

In the idle mode, the terminal may use DRX to reduce power consumption. One paging occasion (paging occasion; PO) is a P-RNTI (Paging-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) (which addresses a paging message for NB-IoT) PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) or MPDCCH (MTC PDCCH) ) or a subframe that can be transmitted through a narrowband PDCCH (NPDCCH).

In P-RNTI transmitted through MPDCCH, PO may indicate a start subframe of MPDCCH repetition. In the case of the P-RNTI transmitted through the NPDCCH, when the subframe determined by the PO is not a valid NB-IoT downlink subframe, the PO may indicate the start subframe of the NPDCCH repetition. Therefore, the first valid NB-IoT downlink subframe after PO is the start subframe of NPDCCH repetition.

One paging frame (PF) is one radio frame that may include one or a plurality of paging opportunities. When DRX is used, the UE only needs to monitor one PO per DRX cycle. One paging narrow band (PNB) is one narrow band in which the terminal performs paging message reception. PF, PO, and PNB may be determined based on DRX parameters provided in system information.

19 is a flowchart illustrating an example of performing an idle mode DRX operation.

According to FIG. 19 , the terminal may receive idle mode DRX configuration information from the base station through higher layer signaling (eg, system information) (S21).

The UE may determine a Paging Frame (PF) and a Paging Occasion (PO) to monitor the PDCCH in the paging DRX cycle based on the idle mode DRX configuration information (S22). In this case, the DRX cycle may include an on-period and a sleep period (or an opportunity of DRX).

The UE may monitor the PDCCH in the PO of the determined PF (S23). Here, for example, the UE monitors only one subframe (PO) per paging DRX cycle. In addition, when the terminal receives the PDCCH scrambled by the P-RNTI during the on-period (ie, when paging is detected), the terminal may transition to the connected mode and transmit/receive data to/from the base station.

<Connected mode DRX(C-DRX)>

C-DRX means DRX applied in the RRC connection state. The DRX cycle of C-DRX may consist of a short DRX cycle and/or a long DRX cycle. Here, a short DRX cycle may correspond to an option.

When C-DRX is configured, the UE may perform PDCCH monitoring for the on-period. If the PDCCH is successfully detected during PDCCH monitoring, the UE may operate (or run) an inactive timer and maintain an awake state. Conversely, if the PDCCH is not successfully detected during PDCCH monitoring, the UE may enter the sleep state after the on-period ends.

When C-DRX is configured, a PDCCH reception opportunity (eg, a slot having a PDCCH search space) may be configured non-contiguously based on the C-DRX configuration. In contrast, if C-DRX is not configured, a PDCCH reception opportunity (eg, a slot having a PDCCH search space) may be continuously configured in the present disclosure.

On the other hand, PDCCH monitoring may be limited to a time interval set by a measurement gap (gap) regardless of the C-DRX configuration.

20 illustrates a DRX cycle.

Referring to FIG. 20 , the DRX cycle consists of 'On Duration' and 'Opportunity for DRX'. The DRX cycle defines a time interval in which the 'on-period' is periodically repeated. The 'on-interval' indicates a time period that the UE monitors to receive the PDCCH. When DRX is configured, the UE performs PDCCH monitoring during the 'on-period'. If there is a PDCCH successfully detected during PDCCH monitoring, the UE operates an inactivity timer and maintains an awake state. On the other hand, if there is no PDCCH successfully detected during PDCCH monitoring, the UE enters a sleep state after the 'on-period' ends. Therefore, when DRX is configured, PDCCH monitoring/reception may be discontinuously performed in the time domain in performing the procedures and/or methods described/proposed above. For example, when DRX is configured, in the present disclosure, a PDCCH reception opportunity (eg, a slot having a PDCCH search space) may be configured discontinuously according to the DRX configuration. On the other hand, when DRX is not configured, PDCCH monitoring/reception may be continuously performed in the time domain in performing the procedures and/or methods described/proposed above. For example, when DRX is not configured, PDCCH reception opportunities (eg, a slot having a PDCCH search space) may be continuously configured in the present disclosure. Meanwhile, regardless of whether DRX is configured or not, PDCCH monitoring may be limited in a time interval configured as a measurement gap.

Table 8 shows the process of the UE related to DRX (RRC_CONNECTED state). Referring to Table 8, DRX configuration information is received through higher layer (eg, RRC) signaling, and whether DRX ON/OFF is controlled by a DRX command of the MAC layer. When DRX is configured, PDCCH monitoring may be discontinuously performed in performing the procedures and/or methods described/proposed in the present disclosure.

	Type of signals	UE procedure
Step 1	RRC signaling (MAC-CellGroupConfig)	- Receive DRX setting information
Step 2	MAC CE ((Long) DRX command MAC CE)	- Receive DRX command
Step 3	-	- PDCCH monitoring during on-duration of DRX cycle

The MAC-CellGroupConfig may include configuration information required to set a MAC (Medium Access Control) parameter for a cell group. MAC-CellGroupConfig may also include configuration information about DRX. For example, MAC-CellGroupConfig may include information as follows to define DRX.

- Value of drx-OnDurationTimer: Defines the length of the start section of the DRX cycle

- Value of drx-InactivityTimer: Defines the length of the time interval in which the UE remains awake after the PDCCH opportunity in which the PDCCH indicating the initial UL or DL data is detected

- Value of drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL: Defines the length of the maximum time interval from the reception of the initial DL transmission until the reception of the DL retransmission.

- Value of drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL: Defines the length of the maximum time interval after the grant for UL initial transmission is received until the grant for UL retransmission is received.

- drx-LongCycleStartOffset: Defines the time length and start time of the DRX cycle

- drx-ShortCycle (optional): Defines the time length of short DRX cycle

Here, if any one of drx-OnDurationTimer, drx-InactivityTimer, drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL, and drx-HARQ-RTT-TimerDL is in operation, the UE maintains the awake state and performs PDCCH monitoring at every PDCCH opportunity.

Hereinafter, the proposal of the present disclosure will be described in more detail.

The following drawings were created to explain a specific example of the present specification. Since the names of specific devices described in the drawings or the names of specific signals/messages/fields are presented by way of example, the technical features of the present specification are not limited to the specific names used in the following drawings.

The monitoring occasion of the PDCCH in the NR system may be determined by each parameter of the search space set configuration, and the start position of the CORESET linked in the time domain may be defined by the following parameters. .

- monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset: Determines the interval and slot offset between the corresponding monitoring slots. As an example, the PDCCH monitoring period may be k _s slots, and the PDCCH monitoring offset may be O _S slots.

- monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot: Determines the starting symbol of CORESET within the slot determined by monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset. As an example, it may mean an intra-slot PDCCH monitoring pattern indicating the first symbol of CORESET within the slot for PDCCH monitoring.

- duration: Determines the number of consecutive slots in which PDCCH monitoring should be performed from the slot determined by monitoringSlotPeriodicityAndOffset. For example, the parameter may mean a duration T _{s smaller than k s} slots indicating a plurality of slots in which the search space set s exists.

Here, when the value of duration among the parameters is 1, the UE may select a resource for performing PDCCH monitoring as shown in FIG. 21 .

21 shows an example of a PDCCH monitoring resource selection method.

21 and may if reference to the above-described parameters, the monitoringSymbolsWithinSlot, monitoringPeriodicityAndOffset O and _S may be included in the search space set set. In addition, CORESET p exists in slot n, slot n+2, and slot n+4 by the search space set setting in FIG. Here, duration and frequencyDomainResources may be included in CORESET setting, duration in CORESET setting may indicate time domain resources of CORESET, and frequencyDomainResources may indicate frequency domain resources.

Referring to FIG. 21 , the search space set setting may determine the time domain location of the associated CORESET, and the UE may position the CORESET at the corresponding location to perform PDCCH monitoring within the CORESET. In this specification, the monitoring opportunity may mean the location of each time domain of each CORESET that the terminal needs to monitor. Here, the starting symbol of the CORESET linked by the monitoring periodicity and duration in the search space set setting may be indicated, and through this process, each CORESET instructed to perform monitoring may be indicated. It can also be interpreted as a monitoring opportunity.

Hereinafter, DCI format 2_6 will be described.

In the NR system, DCI format 2_6 may be used to inform power saving information other than the DRX activation time for one or more terminals.

The following information may be transmitted through DCI format 2_6 having a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by a Power Saving-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (PS-RNTI).

- Block number 1, block number 2, ..., block number N: Here, the start position of the block is determined by the parameter PSPositionDCI2-6 provided by the upper layer for the terminal in which the block is set.

If higher layer parameters PS-RNTI and dci-Format2-6 are configured for the UE, one block is configured for the UE, and the following fields are defined for the block.

- wake-up indication (wake-up indication): 1 bit field

- SCell dormancy indication (SCell dormancy indication): 0 bit if the upper layer parameter Scell-groups-for-dormancy-outside-active-time is not set, otherwise, the upper layer parameter Scell-groups-for-dormancy-outside It is a bitmap of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 bits determined according to -active-time. Here, each bit corresponds to one of the SCell group(s) set by the upper layer parameter Scell-groups-for-dormancy-outside-active-time, and the LSB in the MSB of the bitmap corresponds to the SCell group configured from the first to the last. corresponds to

The size of DCI format 2_6 is indicated by a higher layer parameter SizeDCI_2-6.

In power saving of NR, when a DRX operation is performed, whether to wake-up in each DRX cycle may be notified to the UE by using DCI format 2_6, which is a new DCI. That is, an example of the wake-up signal may be a specific field of DCI format 2_6 or DCI format 2_6. Upon receiving the wake-up indication, the UE operates an on-duration timer in the associated DRX cycle and performs conventional PDCCH monitoring. In this case, one or more CORESET/search space sets may be configured to indicate monitoring for DCI format 2_6, and the UE performs actual monitoring for some of the monitoring opportunities determined by the corresponding search space set configuration. do. The monitoring opportunity for performing actual monitoring is determined by the ps-Offset instructed by the network and the time gap reported by the UE. Here, the time interval may be interpreted as a preparation period necessary for an operation after wake-up.

In other words, the offset by ps-Offset indicating the time at which the UE starts PDCCH monitoring for the detection of DCI format 2_6 according to the number of search space sets before the slot where drx-onDurationTimer starts on the PCell or SpCell is to be defined. can Here, for each search space is set, PDCCH monitoring chances are the first T _s of the slot indicated by the duration, or, if the duration is not supplied, starting at the first slot of the first T _s slot with T _s = 1 slot, and It may end before the start of drx-onDurationTimer.

In addition, for each search space set, the UE monitors DCI format 2_6 only for PS_offset before DRX on-duration or within the first complete duration after PS_offset.

22 illustrates an example of determining a monitoring resource of DCI format 2_6.

Referring to FIG. 22 , the network may instruct the UE to set a search space set capable of monitoring DCI format 2_6, and in the corresponding search space set, three consecutive (=duration) It may be instructed to monitor DCI format 2_6 in the slot. In addition, a monitoring window capable of monitoring DCI format 2_6 by the start time of the DRX cycle on the DRX configuration, the ps-Offset set by the network, and the time gap reported by the terminal. is decided Alternatively, the monitoring window is configured by the starting point of the offset (ps-Offset) and the on-duration, and the time interval reported by the terminal is set not to perform monitoring at a monitoring opportunity located within the interval. may be used for Finally, the monitoring occasion for the UE to perform actual monitoring ^{may be determined as the first full duration within the window (1 st} full duration) as described above.

As described above, monitoring for DCI format 2_6 can be performed only at a monitoring opportunity corresponding to the first complete duration within the monitoring window among the monitoring opportunities indicated by the search space set setting. However, when there is a monitoring opportunity that cannot be monitored among the monitoring opportunities belonging to the first complete duration within the window, or when there is a candidate that cannot be monitored among the monitoring candidates within the monitoring opportunity, a clear processing method is proposed. there is not

In addition, if the first duration partially overlaps the monitoring window, it may be undesirable not to perform monitoring in the corresponding duration. Since the duration within the search space set setting is associated with one CORESET, it is possible to assume the same spatial QCL (spatial quasi co-location: spatial QCL), which means that monitoring opportunities belonging to the duration are related to beam diversity, etc. may not be construed as for the purpose of That is, the duration in the search space set setting can be interpreted to have the purpose of increasing the monitoring opportunity, and for example, some of the monitoring opportunities belonging to the duration are due to overlap with other signals/channels. Even if it is not available, monitoring can be done at an extra monitoring opportunity. Therefore, the constraint that all monitoring opportunities within the duration within the monitoring window must be included may reduce the flexibility of the network.

In order to solve such a problem, in the present specification, a method for determining a monitoring opportunity for DCI format 2_6 is proposed.

First, a method for determining a monitoring opportunity of DCI format 2_6 is proposed below.

As described above, in the process of determining the monitoring opportunity of DCI format 2_6, the resource unit may be divided into a duration indicated by the search space set setting and each monitoring opportunity within the duration, that is, each slot within the duration. there is. In the present specification, a method for determining the validity of each resource unit is proposed. In the following, that the monitoring opportunity or candidate (candidate), duration, etc. are not valid means that the UE does not perform PDCCH monitoring or skips PDCCH monitoring in the corresponding monitoring opportunity, candidate, duration, etc. may be In addition, the method may be applied by limiting the DCI format 2_6.

In the NR system, monitoring for a specific PDCCH candidate may be omitted in the following cases.

- For monitoring of the PDCCH candidate in the slot, if the UE receives ssb-PositionsInBurst in SIB1 and does not receive ssb-PositionsInBurst in ServingCellConfigCommon for the serving cell, if the UE does not monitor the PDCCH candidates in the Type0-PDCCH CSS set If not, at least one resource element (RE) corresponding to the SS / PBCH block index provided by ssb-PositionsInBurst in SIB1 and at least one RE for the PDCCH candidate overlap, the UE monitors the PDCCH candidate not required

- For monitoring of the PDCCH candidate in the slot, if the UE receives ssb-PositionsInBurst in ServingCellConfigCommon for the serving cell, if the UE does not monitor the PDCCH candidates in the Type0-PDCCH CSS set, at least one RE for the PDCCH candidate If is overlapped with at least one RE corresponding to the SS/PBCH block index provided by ssb-PositionsInBurst in ServingCellConfigCommon, the UE is not required to monitor the PDCCH candidate.

- For monitoring of the PDCCH candidate in the slot, if the UE monitors the PDCCH candidate for the Type0-PDCCH CSS set on the serving cell, the UE uses the SS/PBCH block for the RE used to monitor the PDCCH candidate on the serving cell. It can be assumed that it is not transmitted.

- For monitoring of the PDCCH candidate in the slot, if at least one RE of the PDCCH candidate on the serving cell and at least one RE of lte-CRS-ToMatchAround overlap, the UE is not required to monitor the PDCCH candidate.

That is, when the UE receives information about the SS/PBCH block from the network and performs PDCCH monitoring in a search space set other than the Type0 CSS set, the UE performs rate matching for the SS/PBCH block and/or LTE CRS. It is defined not to perform PDCCH monitoring on a candidate whose resource overlaps with the resource indicated to be matched).

On the other hand, in NR, in order to increase scheduling flexibility and resource utilization, the transmission direction (ie, downlink/uplink) of each slot and symbol can be dynamically changed, and a slot format indicator to perform the corresponding operation. : SFI) may be transmitted through DCI format 2_0.

DCI format 2_0 may be used to inform the slot format. Information of slot format indicator 1, slot format indicator 2, ..., slot format indicator N may be transmitted through DCI format 2_9 having a CRC scrambled by slot format indication (SFI)-RNTI. The size of DCI format 2_0 can be set to a maximum of 128 bits by the upper layer.

In DCI format 2_0, a transmission direction in a slot/symbol designated as flexible through terminal-common or terminal-only RRC signaling may be dynamically changed, and a slot/symbol designated as uplink by RRC and DCI format 2_0. PDCCH monitoring may not be performed for .

The following describes a proposal for the availability of monitoring opportunities.

Based on the above, for each monitoring opportunity, it is proposed to assume that the monitoring opportunity is not valid in the following cases. The options below may be implemented alone or in combination. The following may be applied even when a plurality of monitoring opportunities exist in one slot.

(Option 1-1) If monitoring of one or some candidates is omitted

For example, for reasons such as the above, when monitoring for one or some candidates in CORESET to be monitored in a specific monitoring opportunity is omitted, the UE may assume that the monitoring opportunity is not valid. Additionally, monitoring for all established candidates may be omitted in an invalid monitoring opportunity. In this case, the number of omitted candidates serving as a criterion for validity may be defined in advance or may be indicated by the network through higher layer signaling or the like. For example, when X or more than Y% of candidates are omitted from all candidates, it may be assumed that the corresponding monitoring opportunity is not valid, and the X or Y value may be set by a predefined definition or an instruction of a network. As another example, the validity of the corresponding monitoring opportunity may be determined by the number of candidates of a specific aggregation level(s). This can be interpreted to prevent a case in which a monitoring opportunity becomes invalid due to omission of a lower AL candidate, which is relatively less likely to be used. This may be to prevent a case in which a monitoring opportunity becomes invalid due to omission of this high AL candidate. For example, if X or Y% or more of the candidates of aggregation level 4 or higher or lower are omitted, it may be assumed that the corresponding monitoring opportunity is not valid.

(Option 1-2) If monitoring of all candidates for the corresponding monitoring opportunity is omitted

As another method of determining the validity of a monitoring opportunity, it may be assumed that the monitoring opportunity is invalid only when monitoring for all candidates established in the monitoring opportunity is omitted. This may mean that if even one of the candidates set in the corresponding monitoring opportunity can be monitored, the corresponding monitoring opportunity is valid.

Hereinafter, proposals for the availability of monitoring duration are described.

The validity of the duration can also be defined along with the effectiveness per monitoring opportunity. Even in the case of the duration, if the corresponding duration is not valid, it may mean that monitoring is omitted for all monitoring opportunities belonging to the corresponding duration. For each duration, it can be assumed that the duration is invalid in the following cases. The following description may be applied even when a plurality of monitoring opportunities exist in one slot.

(Option 2-1) One or some monitoring opportunities are not valid

As described above, the validity of each monitoring opportunity may be determined, and if A or B% or more of the monitoring opportunities belonging to one duration are invalid, it may be assumed that the corresponding duration is invalid. In this case, the value of A or B may be indicated by predefined definition or by the network through higher layer signaling or the like.

(Option 2-2) All monitoring opportunities within that duration are not valid

Another way to determine the validity of a duration is to assume that the duration is invalid if all monitoring opportunities established in that duration are not valid. This may mean that if any of the monitoring opportunities set in the corresponding duration are valid, the corresponding duration is valid.

Hereinafter, a proposal for a monitoring opportunity of DCI format 2_6 will be described.

It is proposed to determine the monitoring opportunity of DCI format 2_6 based on the monitoring window and validity of the aforementioned monitoring opportunity and duration. The following may be applied even when a plurality of monitoring opportunities exist in one slot. This proposal may be limitedly applied when a wake-up indication is included among the information of DCI format 2_6 and/or when DCI format 2_6 is monitored outside of an in-active time of DRX operation, that is, an active time. there is. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present proposal will be described.

23 shows an example of DCI format 2_6 and DRX configuration. In FIG. 23, it is assumed that the search space set configuration indicated for monitoring DCI format 2_6 sets three monitoring opportunities within one duration.

(Example 1) Monitoring Window + (Option 1-1) + (Option 2-1)

An embodiment to which option 1-1 and option 2-1 is applied is as follows. If even one candidate is omitted by the predefined definition or by the instruction of the network, it may be defined that the monitoring opportunity including the candidate is invalid. In addition, when even one monitoring opportunity is not valid by a predefined definition or by a network instruction, a duration including the corresponding monitoring opportunity may be defined as invalid. In this embodiment, one candidate and monitoring opportunity are assumed, but the criteria for determining the validity of the monitoring opportunity and the duration may be defined in a number greater than 1 or in percent units by a predefined definition or an instruction from a network.

Referring to FIG. 23 , according to Embodiment 1, it may be assumed that the durations A, D, and E are invalid due to the monitoring window. If any of the candidates included in each monitoring opportunity for duration B is omitted, it can be assumed that duration B is also invalid, and if duration C is also invalid, a monitoring opportunity valid in the corresponding DRX cycle It is assumed that there is no monitoring opportunity, and a default behavior can be performed when there is no monitoring opportunity.

When the validity criteria of the validity and duration of the monitoring opportunity in Example 1 are 50% of the set number of candidates and the number of monitoring opportunities, the ratio of the omitted candidates among the candidates included in each monitoring opportunity does not exceed 50% The monitoring opportunity may be assumed to be valid, and similarly, if the number of monitoring opportunities that are not valid within the duration (of the total monitoring opportunities within the duration) does not exceed 50%, the duration may be assumed to be valid. there is. Therefore, when only two of the three monitoring opportunities within the duration B of FIG. 23 are valid, it can be assumed that the duration B is valid, and the UE can monitor the DCI format 2_6 in the duration B.

(Example 2) Monitoring Window + (Option 1-1) + (Option 2-2)

As a method for relatively increasing the monitoring opportunity of DCI format 2_6 compared to (Example 1), the monitoring opportunity may be determined by combining the option 1-1 and the option 2-2. That is, it can be assumed that the duration is invalid only if all monitoring opportunities within the duration are invalid. At this time, the validity of the monitoring opportunity may be assumed to be effective when the number of candidates set by a predefined or network instruction or more than a specific ratio of candidates are effective.

(Example 3) Monitoring window + (Option 1-2) + (Option 2-1)

A combination of option 1-2 and option 2-1 may be considered as another method of applying fewer restrictions compared to (Example 1). That is, the validity of the duration is determined to be valid when the number or a certain ratio or more of the monitoring opportunities defined by the predefined definition or by the instruction of the network are valid, but for each monitoring opportunity, all candidates within the opportunity are valid. It can be judged that the monitoring opportunity is not valid only when it is not valid.

(Example 4) Monitoring Window + (Option 1-2) + (Option 2-2)

In order to configure DCI format 2_6 to be monitored in as many DRX cycles as possible, a combination of option 1-2 and option 2-2 may be considered. In this case, each monitoring opportunity and duration can be determined to be invalid only if all candidates or monitoring opportunities included in that opportunity or duration are invalid, and the first duration within the window is invalid. In this case, validity can be judged for the next duration (when another duration exists within the window).

On the other hand, as in FIG. 23 , when multiple durations such as a duration for monitoring DCI format 2_6 exist within one monitoring window, if DCI format 2_6 is monitored only for the first duration, power consumption of the terminal may increase. . For example, if one or more monitoring opportunities included in the first duration within the monitoring window cannot be monitored due to overlap with other signals such as SS/PBCH block, LTE CRS, or use for uplink purposes, the terminal In the corresponding DRX cycle, legacy operation, that is, PDCCH monitoring for a given on-duration should be performed. When there is no data transmission to the corresponding terminal in the corresponding DRX cycle, such an operation may cause unnecessary power consumption of the terminal.

In order to solve such a problem, in the present specification, it is proposed to monitor DCI format 2_6 in the first available duration within the monitoring window. Here, whether the duration and/or the monitoring opportunity is available may be determined by the above-described method. This may mean that when the first duration within the monitoring window is not valid and there is a valid duration within the monitoring window, monitoring of DCI format 2_6 is performed at the corresponding valid duration. When the number of durations included in the monitoring window is greater than 2, validity may be determined in chronological order, and monitoring may be determined. For example, if 5 durations are set within the monitoring window, the validity of the duration can be determined from the duration closest to the time domain resource specified by ps-Offset, and if the duration is not valid, the next duration The validity of time can be judged. As a result of the determination, monitoring for DCI format 2_6 may be performed at the effective duration closest to ps-Offset.

For example, if the validity of the duration B in FIG. 23 is not valid when judged by the above proposal, the validity of the duration C may be determined. If the duration C is valid, the UE performs monitoring for DCI format 2_6 at the duration C. If the duration C is also invalid, the UE performs a default behavior when there is no valid monitoring opportunity within the monitoring window. ), that is, a legacy operation may be performed.

As another method, in order to reduce the complexity of the UE implementation, DCI format 2_6 monitoring may be limited to be performed only for the first duration within the monitoring window. Even if a plurality of durations exist within the monitoring window, the terminal may only determine the validity of the first duration. As a result of the determination, if the first duration is valid, monitoring for DCI format 2_6 is performed in the corresponding duration, and if not valid, the UE does not have a valid monitoring opportunity for the corresponding DRX cycle (regardless of the validity of the remaining duration) You can perform a default action for the case.

This method can also be applied to the method proposed in the aforementioned monitoring duration and some overlap between monitoring windows. That is, the above description may be applied to a duration time partially overlapping the monitoring window.

On the other hand, when the monitoring window is set large, a duration close to ps-Offset may increase the wake-up time of the terminal, which may cause unnecessary power consumption. Therefore, in the present specification, it is proposed to monitor DCI format 2_6 at the closest valid duration from the ending position of the monitoring window. Operations other than the time domain order of selecting a candidate duration are performed in the above-described manner, for example, a method of determining the validity of a monitoring opportunity, a method of determining the validity of a duration, monitoring in an available duration, the first An operation method when the candidate duration is not valid may be equally applied.

Hereinafter, a proposal for a partial overlap between the monitoring duration and the monitoring window will be described.

In the present specification, a method for determining validity when the monitoring duration is completely within the window has been proposed. In this case, depending on the relationship between the monitoring periodicity and the DRX cycle of DCI format 2_6, there may be a case where a valid monitoring opportunity does not exist within the monitoring window, and thus, the monitoring opportunity for DCI format 2_6 may occur. Since it disappears and the transmission/reception opportunity in the corresponding DRX cycle may disappear, it may be inefficient in terms of system performance. In order to solve such a problem, in the present specification, it is proposed to assume that the corresponding duration can be valid even when the monitoring duration and the monitoring window partially overlap. Whether the actual validity is determined may be determined by combining the above-described options.

In addition, the last part of the monitoring window may be determined by a time gap reported by the terminal, which may be a time required for the terminal to prepare for operation in DRX active time. Therefore, it is proposed that the monitoring duration and some overlap of the monitoring window are applied only to the beginning of the monitoring window.

Also, when the monitoring duration partially overlaps the monitoring window, it may be assumed that opportunities located outside the window among the monitoring opportunities within the duration are invalid.

24 shows an example of some overlap between monitoring duration and monitoring window. In FIG. 24 , it is assumed that the search space set configuration indicated for monitoring DCI format 2_6 sets three monitoring opportunities within one duration. Also, in FIG. 24 , it is assumed that other monitoring opportunities other than duration X and duration Y are not set in the monitoring window.

Referring to FIG. 24 , duration X and duration Y exist in a partially overlapping/overlapping state in the monitoring window for DCI format 2_6. Here, as an example, if monitoring for the duration can be performed when at least two monitoring opportunities among three monitoring opportunities are valid within one duration, the duration X is determined as a valid duration, and thus, the terminal may perform monitoring for monitoring opportunities within duration X.

Meanwhile, according to the present specification, even if the duration X is not valid and the validity condition is satisfied for the duration Y, the duration Y partially overlaps with the time gap, so monitoring is not performed on the duration Y. may not be That is, some overlapping proposals of the present specification may not be applied to the duration Y.

25 is a flowchart of an example of a PDCCH monitoring method of a terminal according to some implementations of the present specification.

Referring to FIG. 25 , the terminal receives monitoring information from the network ( S2510 ).

Thereafter, the terminal performs PDCCH monitoring based on the monitoring information (S2510).

Here, the UE may perform PDCCH monitoring on the first effective duration located within the monitoring window in the time domain. Here, the monitoring information may include information on a monitoring window and information on an effective duration.

Here, as an example, the information on the monitoring window may inform parameters such as ps-Offset and time gap. In addition, the information on the effective duration may include information on the length of the duration in the time domain, that is, the number of time domain resources of the duration, and information on a method of determining the effective duration.

Here, the information on the method of determining the effective duration may inform a method of determining the validity of a monitoring opportunity, a method of determining the validity of the duration, and the like. As a specific example of this, the above-described options may be considered.
