One of the first and second systems may be a LTE system using a first radio access technology (RAT), and the other one may be new RAT system using a second RAT different from the first RAT.

In the present invention, if a transmitting device receives an activation command for a packet duplication function of a PDCP entity for a radio bearer (RB), the PDCP entity submits a PDCP protocol data unit (PDU) to each of multiple lower layer entities associated with the PDCP entity, and each of the multiple lower layer entities transmits the PDCP PDU. If the transmitting device receives a deactivation command for the packet duplication function, the PDCP entity submits the PDCP PDU to a single one of the multiple lower layer entities, and the single one of the multiple lower layer entities transmits the PDCP PDU.

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for transmitting / receiving random access signals. A first random access channel (RACH) resource for a first RACH preamble format and a second RACH resource for a second RACH preamble format are configured, separately. The first RACH resource and the second RACH resource are for a UE at which Tx / Rx beam correspondence holds and for a UE at which Tx / Rx beam correspondence does not hold, respectively. A UE can use the first or second RACH resource, depending on whether or not Tx / Rx beam correspondence holds at the UE.

Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for transmitting / receiving random access signals. A user equipment (UE) transmits a random access preamble of a random access procedure through a random access channel (RACH) resource associated with a synchronization signal (SS) block.

The BS may inform the UE that there will be CSI-RS transmission to the UE, during the random access procedure.

In the present invention, a user equipment (UE) receives a paging message while using a paging discontinuous reception (DRX). The UE transitions from the paging DRX with a paging DRX cycle to an inactive DRX with an inactive DRX cycle if the paging message includes an indication that there is downlink data for the UE. The UE monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) using the inactive DRX to receive the downlink data.
