Existing technologies are used as appropriate for the operation of the wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention. However, the existing technology is, for example, existing LTE, but is not limited to existing LTE. Further, the term "LTE" used in this specification has a broad meaning including LTE-Advanced and a system after LTE-Advanced (eg, NR) unless otherwise specified.

This is for convenience of description, and signals, functions, etc. similar to these may be referred to by other names. Also, the above terms in NR correspond to NR-SS, NR-PSS, NR-SSS, NR-PBCH, NR-PRACH, etc. However, even if the signal is used for NR, it is not necessarily specified as "NR-".

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the duplex method may be a TDD (Time Division Duplex) method, an FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) method, or another method (for example, Flexible Duplex, etc.). This method may also be used.

Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, "configure" the wireless parameters etc. may mean pre-configuring a predetermined value, or may mean that the base station 10 or Wireless parameters notified from the terminal 20 may also be set.

(System configuration)
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a base station 10 and a terminal 20, as shown in FIG. Although one base station 10 and one terminal 20 are shown in FIG. 1, this is just an example, and there may be a plurality of each.

The base station 10 is a communication device that provides one or more cells and performs wireless communication with the terminal 20. The physical resources of a radio signal are defined in the time domain and the frequency domain, and the time domain may be defined by the number of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols, and the frequency domain may be defined by the number of subcarriers or resource blocks. Good too. Furthermore, a TTI (Transmission Time Interval) in the time domain may be a slot, or a TTI may be a subframe.

The base station 10 transmits a synchronization signal and system information to the terminal 20. The synchronization signals are, for example, NR-PSS and NR-SSS. System information is transmitted, for example, on NR-PBCH, and is also referred to as broadcast information. The synchronization signal and system information may be called SSB (SS/PBCH block). As shown in FIG. 1, the base station 10 transmits a control signal or data to the terminal 20 on the DL (Downlink), and receives the control signal or data from the terminal 20 on the UL (Uplink). Both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 can perform beamforming to transmit and receive signals. Further, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 can apply MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) communication to DL or UL. Further, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 may communicate via a secondary cell (SCell) and a primary cell (PCell) using CA (Carrier Aggregation). Furthermore, the terminal 20 may communicate via a primary cell of the base station 10 and a primary SCG cell (PSCell) of another base station 10 using DC (Dual Connectivity).

The terminal 20 is a communication device equipped with a wireless communication function, such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet, a wearable terminal, or a communication module for M2M (Machine-to-Machine). As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal 20 receives control signals or data from the base station 10 via DL, and transmits control signals or data to the base station 10 via UL, thereby receiving various types of information provided by the wireless communication system. Use communication services. Furthermore, the terminal 20 receives various reference signals transmitted from the base station 10, and measures the channel quality based on the reception results of the reference signals. Note that the terminal 20 may be called a UE, and the base station 10 may be called a gNB.

Additionally, in NR, a carrier aggregation function that uses wideband to secure data resources is being considered following LTE. The carrier aggregation function makes it possible to secure broadband data resources by bundling multiple component carriers.

(Conventional problems)
In the conventional carrier aggregation function, it is necessary to schedule data resources for each of a plurality of bundled component carriers, and there is a problem in that resource allocation overhead is large.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, it is conceivable that the terminal allocates resources in units of scheduling with a different granularity than component carriers.

A framework that performs scheduling or aggregation with a different granularity than component carriers is defined as frequency fragmentation.

Furthermore, in carrier aggregation, performing aggregation with a different granularity from that of component carriers is defined as discontinuous carrier aggregation.

Furthermore, in carrier aggregation (discontinuous carrier aggregation), performing scheduling at a granularity different from that of component carriers is defined as discontinuous scheduling.

The granularity different from the component carrier described above may be a virtual CC (virtual CC) unit, a BWP (Bandwidth Part) unit, a PRB (Physical Resource Block), or a PRB set unit.

Here, the virtual CC is a carrier set that bundles all or part of the frequency resources included in each component carrier among a plurality of component carriers.

For example, it may be assumed that a virtual CC is composed of multiple BWPs.

FIG. 2 is a first diagram showing an example of the configuration of a virtual CC according to an embodiment of the present invention. Virtual CC#i shown in FIG. 2 is a carrier set that bundles BWP#a and BWP#b included in each component carrier among a plurality of component carriers (CC#0 and CC#1).

It may also be assumed that a virtual CC is composed of multiple PRBs or PRB sets.

FIG. 3 is a second diagram showing an example of the configuration of the virtual CC according to the embodiment of the present invention. The virtual CC#i shown in FIG. 3 is a carrier set that bundles a plurality of PRBs included in each component carrier among the plurality of component carriers (CC#0 and CC#1). Note that the plurality of PRBs or PRB sets may be included in one or more BWPs.

Hereinafter, the CC before bundling will be called an actual CC, and the CC after bundling will be called a virtual CC or a nominal CC. Note that the names are not limited to these.

Conventionally, there is a problem that the initial access and random access methods in frequency fragmentation are not clear.

(Summary of this embodiment)
Therefore, in this embodiment, methods of initial access and random access in frequency fragmentation will be described. Examples 1 to 3 will be described below as specific examples of this embodiment.

(Example 1)
In this embodiment, a method of receiving SSB in frequency fragmentation will be described.

The terminal 20 may perform an SSB reception operation of any of the following options.

<Option 1>
It may be assumed that the terminal 20 does not receive SSB across multiple actual CCs. In this case, the terminal 20 may further perform an SSB reception operation of any of the following options.

<Option 1-1>
It may be assumed that the terminal 20 receives all PSS/SSS/PBCH using one actual CC.

<Option 1-2>
It may be assumed that the terminal 20 receives PSS/SSS on one actual CC and receives PBCH across multiple actual CCs (for example, on a virtual CC).

The base station 10 may restrict terminals 20 that do not support option 1 operation from accessing (camping on) the cell. For example, the base station 10 may transmit a cell barred notification on the PBCH.

<Option 2>
The terminal 20 may assume that all PSS/SSS/PBCH are received across multiple actual CCs (for example, on a virtual CC).

The base station 10 may restrict terminals 20 that do not support option 2 operation from accessing (camping on) the cell. For example, the base station 10 may transmit a cell barred notification on the PBCH.

The terminal 20 may notify the base station 10 of terminal capabilities related to SSB reception (for example, whether or not to support operations such as option 1-2, option 2, etc.). Furthermore, the terminal 20 may notify the base station 10 whether or not each of the above-mentioned optional operations is supported as the terminal capability related to the virtual CC.

Furthermore, when the SSB mapping pattern is applied to the virtual CC, the terminal 20 may specify the mapping pattern for each SCS combination of the actual CC, or may be notified via another cell. may be assumed. For example, it may be assumed that the terminals 20 accommodated in an SCG (Secondary Cell Group) are notified of the mapping pattern via an MCG (Master Cell Group).

Note that the terminal 20 may assume that different mapping patterns are prescribed or notified even if the combination of SCS of the actual CC is the same. For example, if the SCS combination of the actual CC includes 30 kHz (for example, a combination of 15 kHz and 30 kHz, a combination of 30 kHz and 120 kHz, etc.), the terminal 20 determines whether any of the multiple mapping patterns is defined or notified. You can assume that.

(Example 1-1)
In this embodiment, a measurement operation related to SSB in frequency fragmentation will be described.

The terminal 20 determines the reception quality (for example, RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power), RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality), SINR (Signal to Interference & Noise Ratio), etc.) of one or more actual CCs through which the SSS is transmitted. May be measured.

The terminal 20 may perform an SSB measurement operation of any of the following options.

<Option 1>
The terminal 20 may measure the reception quality for each actual CC and report it to the base station 10.

<Option 2>
The terminal 20 may measure the reception quality for each virtual CC and report it to the base station 10. In this case, the terminal 20 may report the result of linearly averaging the reception quality for each actual CC, or may report the result of other filtering processing. The terminal 20 may assume that these processing methods are set by the base station 10.

Additionally, the terminal 20 may perform any of the following options regarding RLM (Radio Link Monitoring).

<Option 1>
The terminal 20 may determine IS (In Sync)/OOS (Out Of Sync) based on the reception quality for each actual CC. Further, in one virtual CC, when an actual CC becomes IS and another actual CC becomes OOS, the terminal 20 may perform any of the following options.

<Option 1-1>
The terminal 20 may determine that the virtual CC is an IS.

<Option 1-2>
The terminal 20 may determine that the virtual CC is OOS.

Note that when one virtual CC includes an actual CC that has become IS and an actual CC that has become OOS, the terminal 20 may determine IS/OOS based on other criteria. For example, the terminal 20 may use the determination result of the majority of the actual CCs as the determination result of the virtual CC. In other words, in the case where the terminal 20 includes three actual CCs, when IS is determined for two actual CCs and OOS is determined for one actual CC, the terminal 20 uses the IS, which is the determination result of the majority of the actual CCs, as the determination result of the virtual CC. You can also use it as

<Option 2>
The terminal 20 may determine IS/OOS based on the reception quality for each virtual CC. Note that the terminal 20 may assume that the threshold value Q _in or Q _out used for IS/OOS determination is the same as the conventional one, or may assume that it is different from the conventional one.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of threshold values used in conventional IS/OOS determination. The terminal 20 may use a value of 10% for BLER _out and 2% for BLER _in as the value of BLER (Block Error Rate), or use a value different from the value shown in FIG. 4 for either or both. You may.

According to the first embodiment, it is possible to appropriately receive SSB in frequency fragmentation. Further, according to Example 1-1, the measurement operation related to SSB in frequency fragmentation can be appropriately performed.

(Example 2)
In this embodiment, a method of receiving CORESET (Control-resource set) 0 in frequency fragmentation will be described.

The terminal 20 may assume that the settings related to CORESET0/Type0-CSS (Type0-Common Search Space) of the virtual CC are notified by one of the following options.

<Option 1>
It may be assumed that the terminal 20 is notified via the PBCH received by the virtual CC.

<Option 2>
It may be assumed that the terminal 20 is notified via the PBCH received on the corresponding actual CC. Furthermore, when the terminal 20 receives a plurality of PBCHs, it may further perform any of the following options.

<Option 2-1>
The terminal 20 may assume that different CORESET0/Type0-CSS settings are not notified on the plurality of received PBCHs.

<Option 2-2>
The terminal 20 may assume that different CORESET0/Type0-CSS settings are notified on the plurality of received PBCHs. In this case, the terminal 20 may set CORESET0 to the sum of the CORESET0 time/frequency resources for each actual CC, or the CORESET0 time of a specific actual CC (for example, the actual CC with the largest number of PRBs or symbols of CORESET0). /Frequency resources may also be used. Further, the terminal 20 may set the Type0-CSS to a specific actual CC (for example, the actual CC with the largest number of PRBs or symbols of CORESET0).

Further, the terminal 20 may assume that the SIB for scheduling PDCCH in the virtual CC is transmitted to the CORESET0 band, or the terminal 20 may assume that the SIB for scheduling PDCCH in the virtual CC is transmitted to the CORESET0 band, or may be assumed to be transmitted to the actual CC).

Furthermore, the terminal 20 may assume that the SIB of the virtual CC is scheduled in the CORESET0 band, or a specific actual CC within the virtual CC (for example, the actual CC with the largest number of PRBs or symbols of CORESET0) It may be assumed that the schedule is scheduled at

According to this embodiment, it is possible to appropriately receive CORESET0 in frequency fragmentation.

(Example 3)
In this embodiment, a random access procedure in frequency fragmentation will be described.

The terminal 20 may transmit and receive signals (Msg1-4, MsgA/B) related to random access in frequency fragmentation using any of the following options.

<Option 1>
The terminal 20 may use the actual CC that received the SIB.

<Option 2>
The terminal 20 may use the virtual CC that received the SIB.

The terminal 20 may assume that which option is applied is the same depending on the signal type, or may assume that it differs depending on the signal type. For example, if it differs depending on the signal type, it may be assumed that the terminal 20 is defined or configured as shown in 1) to 3) below.
1) Uplink signal: Option 1, Downlink signal: Option 2
2) 4-step RACH: Option 1, 2-step RACH: Option 2
3) Msg1/2: Option 1, Msg3/4/A/B: Option 2

A radio frame may be composed of one or more frames in the time domain. Each frame or frames in the time domain may be called a subframe. A subframe may also be composed of one or more slots in the time domain. A subframe may have a fixed time length (eg, 1 ms) that does not depend on numerology.

The numerology may be a communication parameter applied to the transmission and/or reception of a certain signal or channel. Numerology includes, for example, subcarrier spacing (SCS), bandwidth, symbol length, cyclic prefix length, transmission time interval (TTI), number of symbols per TTI, radio frame configuration, and transmitter/receiver. It may also indicate at least one of a specific filtering process performed in the frequency domain, a specific windowing process performed by the transceiver in the time domain, and the like.

Note that the definition of TTI is not limited to this.

The TTI may be a transmission time unit of a channel-coded data packet (transport block), a code block, a codeword, etc., or may be a processing unit of scheduling, link adaptation, etc. Note that when a TTI is given, the time interval (for example, the number of symbols) to which transport blocks, code blocks, code words, etc. are actually mapped may be shorter than the TTI.

Note that when one slot or one minislot is called a TTI, one or more TTIs (that is, one or more slots or one or more minislots) may be the minimum time unit for scheduling. Further, the number of slots (minislot number) that constitutes the minimum time unit of the scheduling may be controlled.

A TTI having a time length of 1 ms may be called a normal TTI (TTI in LTE Rel. 8-12), normal TTI, long TTI, normal subframe, normal subframe, long subframe, slot, etc. A TTI that is shorter than a normal TTI may be referred to as an abbreviated TTI, short TTI, partial or fractional TTI, shortened subframe, short subframe, minislot, subslot, slot, etc.

A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in the time domain and frequency domain, and may include one or more continuous subcarriers in the frequency domain. The number of subcarriers included in an RB may be the same regardless of the numerology, and may be 12, for example. The number of subcarriers included in an RB may be determined based on newerology.

Additionally, the time domain of an RB may include one or more symbols, and may be one slot, one minislot, one subframe, or one TTI in length. One TTI, one subframe, etc. may each be composed of one or more resource blocks.

Note that one or more RBs include physical resource blocks (PRBs), sub-carrier groups (SCGs), resource element groups (REGs), PRB pairs, RB pairs, etc. May be called.

Additionally, a resource block may be configured by one or more resource elements (REs). For example, 1 RE may be a radio resource region of 1 subcarrier and 1 symbol.

A bandwidth part (BWP) (which may also be called a partial bandwidth or the like) may represent a subset of consecutive common resource blocks (RBs) for a certain numerology in a certain carrier. Here, the common RB may be specified by an RB index based on a common reference point of the carrier. PRBs may be defined in a BWP and numbered within that BWP.

The BWP may include a UL BWP (UL BWP) and a DL BWP (DL BWP). One or more BWPs may be configured for the terminal 20 within one carrier.

At least one of the configured BWPs may be active, and the terminal 20 does not need to assume that it transmits or receives a given signal/channel outside the active BWP. Note that "cell", "carrier", etc. in the present disclosure may be replaced with "BWP".
