  • the time domain of an RB may include one or more symbols and may be 1 slot, 1 minislot, 1 subframe, or 1 TTI long.
  • One TTI, one subframe, etc. may each consist of one or more resource blocks.
  • One or more RBs are physical resource blocks (PRBs), sub-carrier groups (SCGs), resource element groups (REGs), PRB pairs, RB pairs, etc. may be called.
  • PRBs physical resource blocks
  • SCGs sub-carrier groups
  • REGs resource element groups
  • PRB pairs RB pairs, etc. may be called.
  • a resource block may be composed of one or more resource elements (RE: Resource Element).
  • RE Resource Element
  • 1 RE may be a radio resource region of 1 subcarrier and 1 symbol.
  • a bandwidth part (which may also be called a bandwidth part) represents a subset of contiguous common resource blocks (RBs) for a certain numerology in a certain carrier. good.
  • the common RB may be identified by an RB index based on the common reference point of the carrier.
  • PRBs may be defined in a BWP and numbered within that BWP.
  • the BWP may include a BWP for UL (UL BWP) and a BWP for DL (DL BWP).
  • UL BWP UL BWP
  • DL BWP DL BWP
  • One or multiple BWPs may be configured for a UE within one carrier.
  • At least one of the configured BWPs may be active, and the UE may not expect to transmit or receive a given signal/channel outside the active BWP.
  • BWP bitmap
  • radio frames, subframes, slots, minislots and symbols described above are only examples.
  • the number of subframes contained in a radio frame the number of slots per subframe or radio frame, the number of minislots contained within a slot, the number of symbols and RBs contained in a slot or minislot, the number of Configurations such as the number of subcarriers, the number of symbols in a TTI, the symbol length, the cyclic prefix (CP) length, etc.
  • CP cyclic prefix
  • a and B are different may mean “A and B are different from each other.”
  • the term may also mean that "A and B are different from C”.
  • Terms such as “separate,” “coupled,” etc. may also be interpreted in the same manner as “different.”
  • notification of predetermined information is not limited to being performed explicitly, but may be performed implicitly (for example, not notifying the predetermined information). good too.
  • One aspect of the present disclosure is useful for mobile communication systems.
