[0027] (Resource Sharing)

[0028] In future wireless communication systems (for example, Rel. 18 and later), resource sharing is being studied for the purpose of efficiently utilizing frequency bands (existing frequency bands and new high-frequency bands).

[0029] In resource sharing, a radio access network (RAN) can be shared among multiple operators, network (NW, such as base stations) investment costs can be divided for each operator, and multiple base stations can be installed.

[0030] For example, by sharing antennas / sites (land / steel towers, etc.) among multiple operators, the site construction costs can be shared by the multiple operators.

[0031] In addition, by sharing distributed nodes (e.g., distributed units (DU)) / aggregation nodes (e.g., central units (CU))) among multiple operators (e.g., sharing hardware infrastructure), the equipment costs can be shared by the multiple operators.

[0032] In addition, by sharing frequency / antenna units (eg, Radio Units (RU)) among multiple operators, resource utilization efficiency is improved. For example, resources not used by a certain operator can be used by other operators.

[0033] Figure 1A to Figure 1D This is a diagram showing an example of network sharing.

[0034] Figure 1A This is an example of site sharing. Figure 1AAs shown, in site sharing, antennas / sites are shared by multiple operators. On the other hand, the service platform, HSS (Home Subscriber Server) / HLR (Home Location Register), core network packet switching (Core Network (CN) Packet Switching (PS)), base stations, cells / frequencies are independent for each of the multiple operators.

[0035] Figure 1B This is an example of MORAN (Multi Operator RAN). Figure 1B As shown, in MORAN, multiple operators share a part of the base station (e.g., the hardware of the base station) in addition to the shared antenna / site. On the other hand, the service platform, HSS / HLR, CN PS, other parts of the base station (e.g., the software of the base station), and cell / frequency are independent for each of the multiple operators.

[0036] Figure 1C It is an example of MOCN (Multi Operator Core Network). Figure 1C As shown, in MOCN, multiple operators share base stations and cells / frequencies. On the other hand, the service platform, HSS / HLR, and CN PS are independent for each of the multiple operators.

[0037] Figure 1D An example of a GWCN (Gateway Core Network) is shown. Figure 1D As shown, in the GWCN, multiple operators share CN PS, base stations, and cells / frequencies. On the other hand, the service platform and HSS / HLR are independent for each of the multiple operators.

[0038] In MOCN / GWCN, it is assumed that a plurality of operators share cells, and therefore it is desirable to be able to change settings for each operator (for example, for each ID (PLMN ID) related to a public land mobile communication network (Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN))).

[0039] For example, in existing specifications, whether initial access to a cell is allowed, the tracking area code, and a specific cell ID within the PLMN can be set for each PLMN ID.

[0040] Furthermore, for example, for a terminal that can connect to cells of multiple operators (eg, a terminal with multiple SIMs (Subscriber Identity Modules)), it is considered that cells that can be switched from a frequency-shared cell (shared / common cell) involve multiple operators.

[0041] The cell / frequency of the handover destination and the strategy of selecting the cell of the handover destination may differ for each operator. However, it is preferable that the settings / parameters related to mobility / measurement can be set for each operator.

[0042] However, the existing specifications do not specify the scenario of sharing base stations / frequencies among multiple operators, and the research on this is not sufficient. In addition, the settings / regulations related to mobility / measurement in this scenario are not fully studied. If these studies are not sufficient, it will not be possible to operate flexible communications for each operator, and there is a concern that the improvement of communication quality will be inhibited.

[0043] Therefore, in order to effectively establish sites and utilize frequencies through resource sharing, the inventors of the present invention have come up with a method for flexibly applying and setting operation strategies and parameters between operators.

[0044] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The wireless communication methods involved in each embodiment can be applied individually or in combination.

[0045] In the present disclosure, "A / B" and "at least one of A and B" may be replaced with each other. In addition, in the present disclosure, "A / B / C" may also mean "at least one of A, B, and C".

[0046] In the present disclosure, activate, deactivate, indicate (or specify), select, configure, update, determine, etc. may also be mutually rewritten. In the present disclosure, support, control, controllable, operate, and can operate may also be mutually rewritten.

In the present disclosure, Medium Access Control (MAC Control Element (CE)), update commands, activation / deactivation commands, etc. may be overwritten with each other.

[0048] In the present disclosure, the high-layer signaling may also be, for example, any one of Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) signaling, broadcast information, etc., or a combination thereof.

[0049] In the present disclosure, MAC signaling may also use, for example, MAC Control Element (MACCE), MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU), etc. Broadcast information may also be, for example, Master Information Block (MIB), System Information Block (SIB), minimum system information (Remaining Minimum System Information (RMSI)), Other System Information (Other System Information (OSI)), etc.

[0050] In the present disclosure, the physical layer signaling may be, for example, downlink control information (Downlink Control Information (DCI)), uplink control information (Uplink Control Information (UCI)), etc.

[0051] In the present disclosure, index, identifier (ID), indicator, resource ID, etc. can also be overwritten with each other. In the present disclosure, sequence, list, set, group, group, cluster, subset, etc. can also be overwritten with each other.

[0052] In the present disclosure, ignore, discard, suspend, cancel, truncate, rate match, postpone, etc. can also be rewritten to each other.

[0053] In the present disclosure, a specific ID, an ID related to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), a PLMN ID, a PLMN identifier, a PLMN Identity, a PLMN identifier information, a PLMN Identity information, a PLMN ID information, information for identifying an operator, an ID for identifying an operator, an ID for each operator, a group ID, a PLMN group ID, etc., may be overwritten with each other.

[0054] In the present disclosure, a specific ID, an ID related to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), a PLMN ID, a PLMN identifier, a PLMN Identity, a PLMN identifier information, a PLMN Identity information, a PLMN ID information, information for identifying an operator, an ID for identifying an operator, an ID for each operator, a group ID, a PLMN group ID, a PLMN, an operator, an operator policy, a mobile network operator (Mobile Network Operator (MNO)), settings for each operator, settings for each operator, etc., may be overwritten with each other.

[0055] In the present disclosure, UE, terminal, terminal set with IDs related to more than one PLMN, terminal set with IDs related to multiple PLMNs, terminal corresponding to a single SIM, and terminal corresponding to multiple SIMs can also be rewritten.

[0056] In the present disclosure, frequency, cell, band, frequency band, frequency range, carrier, and carrier frequency may be replaced with each other.

[0057] (Wireless Communication Method)

[0058] In the following disclosure, as the specific ID, the PLMN ID is exemplified, but the name of the specific ID is not limited thereto.

[0059] In the present disclosure, a specific parameter (RRC parameter) and a specific ID (eg, PLMN ID) may also be associated.

[0060] For this association, parameters related to a specific ID may be included in the specific parameters.

[0061] For this association, parameters related to a specific ID may be included in other parameters included in the specific parameter.

[0062] For this association, the new parameter included in the specific parameter may also be associated with the parameter related to the specific ID. The new parameter may also include the parameter related to the specific ID.

[0063] In the present disclosure, more than one base station / frequency may be shared by multiple operators. The shared base station may also be referred to as a shared base station or a shared base station. The shared frequency may also be referred to as a shared frequency or a shared frequency.

[0064] In addition, a specific base station / frequency may also be used only for one operator. The base station / frequency may also be called a dedicated base station / frequency or a dedicated base station / frequency.

[0065] The UE may also receive a setting / parameter associated with a specific ID (eg, PLMN ID). The setting / parameter may be, for example, a setting / parameter related to a specific measurement (of a UE in an RRC connected state).

[0066] For example, the UE may also receive settings / parameters associated with the first PLMN ID and settings / parameters associated with the second PLMN ID.

[0067] For example, the first PLMN ID may also be the PLMN ID of the operator associated with the UE. In addition, the second PLMN ID may also be the PLMN ID of an operator other than the operator associated with the UE.

[0068] In addition, for example, the first PLMN ID and the second PLMN ID may also be PLMN IDs related to the operator associated with the UE. At this time, there may be multiple operators associated with the UE.

[0069] It is also possible to associate more than one setting / parameter with a PLMN ID.

[0070] In the following embodiments, the UE may determine or select a setting or parameter associated with a specific PLMN ID from among a plurality of received settings or parameters. The UE may also apply the determined or selected parameter to a specific measurement and control the specific measurement.

[0071] For example, the UE may determine / select a setting / parameter associated with the PLMN ID associated with the UE from among the received multiple settings / parameters. The UE may also apply the determined / selected parameters to a specific measurement.

[0072] The UE may ignore, from among the received multiple settings / parameters, settings / parameters associated with a PLMN ID other than the PLMN ID associated with the UE.

[0073] The UE may also apply, among the received multiple settings / parameters, settings / parameters associated with a PLMN ID other than the PLMN ID associated with the UE for a specific purpose (for example, interference measurement).

[0074] One setting / parameter may be associated with one PLMN ID or multiple PLMN IDs.

[0075] In addition, as described above, the PLMN ID is just an example, and other specific IDs may also be used.

[0076] <First Embodiment>

[0077] The first embodiment relates to Radio Link Monitoring (RLM).

[0078] The UE may also receive settings / parameters related to RLM. The settings / parameters may also be notified to the UE using higher layer signaling (eg, RRC signaling).

[0079] At least one setting / parameter related to RLM may also be associated with a PLMN ID. In other words, at least one setting / parameter related to RLM may also be set for each PLMN ID.

[0080] The UE may also determine / select settings / parameters associated with a specific PLMN ID from the notified RLM-related settings / parameters.

[0081] For example, the settings / parameters related to the RLM may also be at least one of the following: settings / parameters of the threshold related to the synchronization state (IS: In-Sync) / asynchronous state (OOS: Out-Of-Sync) of the wireless link (for example, rlmInSyncOutOfSyncThreshold), settings / parameters related to the RLM (for example, RadioLinkMonitoringConfig), and settings / parameters related to the reference signal (RLM-RS) of the RLM (for example, RadioLinkMonitoringRS).

[0082] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of settings / parameters according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 In the example shown, the parameter SpCellConfig is recorded, and the parameter SPCellConfig includes the settings / parameters (rlmInSyncOutOfSyncThreshold) related to the IS / OOS of the radio link notified to the UE. Figure 2 The notation is described using ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One). The following diagrams showing the configuration / parameter / information elements in the present disclosure are also described using ASN.1.

[0083] exist Figure 2 In the example shown, SpCellConfig includes a parameter (plmn-id) related to the PLMN ID. According to this, rlmInSyncOutOfSyncThreshold and plmn-id are associated, and settings related to IS / OOS can be performed for each PLMN ID for the UE.

[0084] Figure 3 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing another example of the settings / parameters involved in the first embodiment. Figure 3 In the example shown, the settings / parameters related to RLM notified to the UE (RadioLinkMonitoringConfig) are recorded.

[0085] exist Figure 3 In the example shown, RadioLinkMonitoringConfig includes a parameter (plmn-id) related to PLMN ID. Thus, RadioLinkMonitoringConfig and plmn-id are associated with each other, and PLM-related settings can be performed for each PLMN ID in UE.

[0086] Figure 4 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing another example of the settings / parameters involved in the first embodiment. Figure 4 In the example shown, the configuration / parameters related to PLM-RS notified to the UE (RadioLinkMonitoringRS) are recorded.

[0087] exist Figure 4 In the example shown, RadioLinkMonitoringRS includes a parameter (plmn-id) related to PLMN ID. Thus, RadioLinkMonitoringRS and plmn-id are associated with each other, and settings related to RLM can be performed for each PLMN ID in UE.

[0088] In addition, the settings / parameters related to RLM-RS (e.g., RadioLinkMonitoringRS) may also include parameters related to detection (e.g., cell detection / beam failure detection) resources (e.g., detectionResource). The parameters related to detection resources may also include an index of a synchronization signal block (SSB) (e.g., SSB-Index), or an index / ID of a (non-zero power) channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) (e.g., csi-RS-Index).

[0089] The settings related to SSB can also be performed for each PLMN ID. In other words, the settings related to SSB are associated with the PLMN ID.

[0090] When the SSB-related settings are performed separately for each PLMN ID, the UE may determine / select at least one of the SSB associated with the PLMN ID of the UE and the SSB detected for receiving SIB1 as the SSB represented by the parameters related to the detection resources.

[0091] In addition, when the configuration related to CSI-RS is performed separately for each PLMN ID, the UE may determine / select (only) the CSI-RS associated with the PLMN ID of the UE as the CSI-RS represented by the parameter related to the detection resource.

[0092] According to the first embodiment described above, even when a plurality of operators share base stations and frequencies, it is possible to appropriately perform settings related to RLM.

[0093] <Second Embodiment>

[0094] The second embodiment relates to Radio Resource Management (RRM).

[0095] The UE may also receive settings / parameters related to RRM measurement. The settings / parameters may also be notified to the UE using higher layer signaling (eg, RRC signaling).

[0096] At least one setting / parameter related to RRM measurement may also be associated with a PLMN ID. In other words, at least one setting / parameter related to RRM measurement may also be set for each PLMN ID.

[0097] The UE may also determine / select settings / parameters associated with a specific PLMN ID from the notified settings / parameters related to RRM measurements.

[0098] For example, the settings / parameters related to the RRM may also be at least one of the following: settings / parameters related to the measurement object (e.g., MeasObject / MeasObjectNR), and settings / parameters included in the settings / parameters related to the measurement object (e.g., MeasObject / MeasObjectNR).

[0099] The settings / parameters included in the settings / parameters related to the measurement object (e.g., MeasObject / MeasObjectNR) may also be, for example, at least one of the following: parameters related to the settings of the reference signal (SSB / CSI-RS) (e.g., ReferenceSignalConfig), and parameters related to the threshold of SSB / CSI-RS (e.g., Threshold / ThresholdNR).

[0100] The UE may be configured with the measurement target frequency / band / resource for each PLMN ID based on the notified configuration / parameter related to the RRM measurement.

[0101] Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of settings / parameters according to the second embodiment. Figure 5 In the example shown, the settings / parameters related to the measurement object notified to the UE (for example, MeasObjectNR) are recorded.

[0102] exist Figure 5 In the example shown, MeasObjectNR includes parameters related to PLMN ID (plmn-id). Accordingly, MeasObjectNR (and parameters included in MeasObjectNR) and plmn-id are associated, and settings related to RRM measurement (for example, settings of measurement object frequency / band / resource) can be performed for each PLMN ID for UE.

[0103] Figure 6 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing another example of settings / parameters according to the second embodiment. Figure 6 In the example shown, parameters (eg, ReferenceSignalConfig) related to the configuration of the reference signal (SSB / CSI-RS) notified to the UE are recorded.

[0104] exist Figure 6 In the example shown, ReferenceSignalConfig includes a parameter (plmn-id) related to the PLMN ID. Thus, ReferenceSignalConfig and plmn-id are associated with each other, and the configuration related to the reference signal for RRM measurement can be performed for each PLMN ID for the UE.

[0105] Furthermore, the event that triggers the measurement report may be set / defined for each PLMN ID. It is also possible to support that the event that triggers the measurement report is different for each PLMN ID.

[0106] Furthermore, the measurement report cycle may be set / specified for each PLMN ID. It is also possible to support setting / specifying the measurement report cycle differently for each PLMN ID.

[0107] According to the second embodiment described above, even when a plurality of operators share base stations / frequencies, it is possible to appropriately perform settings related to RRM measurements.

[0108] <Third Embodiment>

[0109] The third embodiment relates to CSI-RS measurement (may also be referred to as CSI measurement).

[0110] The UE may also receive settings / parameters related to CSI-RS measurement. The settings / parameters may also be notified to the UE using higher layer signaling (eg, RRC signaling).

[0111] At least one setting / parameter related to CSI-RS measurement may also be associated with a PLMN ID. In other words, at least one setting / parameter related to CSI-RS measurement may also be configurable for each PLMN ID.

[0112] The UE may determine / select the settings / parameters associated with a specific PLMNID from among the notified settings / parameters related to CSI-RS measurement.

[0113] For example, the settings / parameters related to the CSI-RS measurement may also be at least one of the following: parameters related to the frequency occupancy of the CSI (e.g., CSI-FrequencyOccupation), parameters related to the CSI measurement settings (e.g., CSI-MeasConfig), parameters related to the CSI report settings (e.g., CSI-ReportConfig), parameters related to the cell mobility of the CSI-RS (e.g., CSI-RS-CellMobility), parameters related to the settings of the (mobility) CSI-RS (e.g., CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility), and parameters related to the resource mapping of the CSI-RS (e.g., CSI-RS-Resource-Mapping).

[0114] The setting / parameter related to CSI-RS measurement may be any parameter included in at least one of the following: a parameter related to frequency occupancy of CSI (e.g., CSI-FrequencyOccupation), a parameter related to CSI measurement setting (e.g., CSI-MeasConfig), a parameter related to CSI report setting (e.g., CSI-ReportConfig), a parameter related to cell mobility of CSI-RS (e.g., CSI-RS-CellMobility), a parameter related to the setting of (mobility) CSI-RS (e.g., CSI-RS-Resource-Mobility), and a parameter related to resource mapping of CSI-RS (e.g., CSI-RS-Resource-Mapping).

[0115] Based on the notified settings / parameters related to CSI-RS measurement, the UE may also be configured with at least one of the following for each PLMN ID: time / frequency resources for CSI-RS, resource mapping of CSI-RS, measurement resources for CSI-RS, and timing / resources for reporting CSI-RS measurement results.

[0116] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of settings / parameters according to the third embodiment. Figure 7 The example shown records parameters related to the CSI measurement configuration notified to the UE (for example, CSI-MeasConfig).

[0117] exist Figure 7 In the example shown, the CSI-MeasConfig includes a parameter (plmn-id) related to the PLMN ID. Accordingly, the CSI-MeasConfig (and the parameters included in the CSI-MeasConfig) is associated with the plmn-id, and the UE can be configured for each PLMN ID related to CSI-RS measurement (for example, at least one of the time / frequency resources of the CSI-RS, resource mapping of the CSI-RS, measurement resources of the CSI-RS, and timing / resources for reporting the measurement results of the CSI-RS).

[0118] In addition, the UE may also perform measurement of the CSI-RS associated with the first PLMN ID (first measurement) and measurement related to the second PLMN ID (second measurement) during a specific period. The specific period may also be represented by a specific number of time slots / symbols / subframes / frames.

[0119] The first measurement and the second measurement may also not be repeated in the time domain.

[0120] A measurement gap may also be set between the first measurement and the second measurement. The length of the measurement gap may be pre-specified in the specification, may be set to the UE via high-layer signaling (e.g., RRC), or may be determined based on the capability information of the UE. Accordingly, an operation that takes into account the switching timing based on the UE's RF may be performed.

[0121] According to the third embodiment described above, even when a plurality of operators share base stations and frequencies, it is possible to appropriately perform settings related to CSI-RS measurement.

[0122] <Supplement>

[0123] In addition, in the above embodiments, RLM, RRM measurement, and CSI-RS measurement are exemplified, but the "specific measurement" of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the "specific measurement" of the present disclosure can also be rewritten as Beam Failure Recovery (BFR).

[0124] In addition, the parameter names described in each embodiment of the present disclosure are just examples, and the present invention is not limited to these names.

[0145] Hereinafter, a configuration of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. In the wireless communication system, communication is performed using any one of the wireless communication methods according to the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure or a combination thereof.

[0146] Figure 81 is a diagram showing an example of a schematic structure of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The wireless communication system 1 (also referred to as the system 1) may be a system that implements communication using Long Term Evolution (LTE) standardized by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the fifth generation mobile communication system New Radio (5GNR), and the like.

[0147] In addition, the wireless communication system 1 can also support dual connectivity (Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity (MR-DC)) between multiple radio access technologies (Radio Access Technology (RAT)).

[0228] (Variation Example)

[0229] In addition, the terms described in the present disclosure and the terms required for understanding the present disclosure may also be replaced with terms having the same or similar meanings. For example, channels, code elements, and signals (signals or signaling) may also be rewritten with each other. In addition, a signal may also be a message. A reference signal may also be referred to as RS, and may also be referred to as a pilot, a pilot signal, etc. depending on the standard applied. In addition, a component carrier (CC) may also be referred to as a cell, a frequency carrier, a carrier frequency, etc.

[0230] A wireless frame may also be composed of one or more periods (frames) in the time domain. Each period (frame) of the one or more periods (frames) constituting a wireless frame may also be referred to as a subframe. Further, a subframe may also be composed of one or more time slots in the time domain. A subframe may also be a fixed time length (e.g., 1 ms) that is not dependent on a parameter set (numerology).

[0231] Here, the parameter set may also be a communication parameter applied in at least one of the transmission and reception of a certain signal or channel. For example, the parameter set may also represent at least one of a subcarrier spacing (SCS), bandwidth, symbol length, cyclic prefix length, transmission time interval (TTI), the number of symbols per TTI, a wireless frame structure, a specific filter processing performed by a transmitter and receiver in the frequency domain, a specific windowing processing performed by a transmitter and receiver in the time domain, and the like.

[0232] A time slot may also be composed of one or more symbols (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbols, etc.) in the time domain. In addition, a time slot may also be a time unit based on a parameter set.

[0233] A time slot may also include multiple mini-slots. Each mini-slot may also be composed of one or more symbols in the time domain. In addition, a mini-slot may also be referred to as a sub-slot. A mini-slot may also be composed of fewer symbols than a time slot. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted in a time unit larger than a mini-slot may also be referred to as a PDSCH (PUSCH) mapping type A. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using a mini-slot may also be referred to as a PDSCH (PUSCH) mapping type B.

[0234] Radio frames, subframes, time slots, mini-time slots, and symbols all represent time units for transmitting signals. Radio frames, subframes, time slots, mini-time slots, and symbols may also be referred to by their respective names. In addition, time units such as frames, subframes, time slots, mini-time slots, and symbols in the present disclosure may also be replaced with each other.

[0235] For example, a subframe may be referred to as a TTI, a plurality of consecutive subframes may be referred to as a TTI, and a time slot or a mini time slot may be referred to as a TTI. That is, at least one of a subframe and a TTI may be a subframe (1 ms) in existing LTE, a period shorter than 1 ms (e.g., 1-13 symbols), or a period longer than 1 ms. In addition, the unit representing a TTI may be referred to as a time slot, a mini time slot, etc. instead of a subframe.

[0236] Here, TTI refers to, for example, the minimum time unit for scheduling in wireless communication. For example, in the LTE system, the base station schedules each user terminal to allocate wireless resources (frequency bandwidth, transmission power, etc. that can be used in each user terminal) in TTI units. In addition, the definition of TTI is not limited to this.

[0237] TTI may also be a transmission time unit for a data packet (transport block), a code block, a code word, etc. that has been channel-coded, and may also be a processing unit for scheduling, link adaptation, etc. In addition, when TTI is given, the time interval (e.g., the number of symbols) to which a transport block, a code block, a code word, etc. is actually mapped may be shorter than the TTI.

[0238] In addition, when a time slot or a mini time slot is called TTI, one or more TTIs (i.e., one or more time slots or one or more mini time slots) can also be the minimum time unit of scheduling. In addition, the number of time slots (mini time slots) constituting the minimum time unit of scheduling can also be controlled.

[0239] A TTI having a time length of 1 ms may also be referred to as a normal TTI (TTI in 3GPP Rel.8-12), a standard TTI, a long TTI, a normal subframe, a standard subframe, a long subframe, a time slot, etc. A TTI shorter than a normal TTI may also be referred to as a shortened TTI, a short TTI, a partial TTI (partial or fractional TTI), a shortened subframe, a short subframe, a mini time slot, a sub time slot, a time slot, etc.

[0240] In addition, a long TTI (e.g., normal TTI, subframe, etc.) can also be rewritten as a TTI with a time length exceeding 1 ms, and a short TTI (e.g., shortened TTI, etc.) can also be rewritten as a TTI with a TTI length shorter than that of the long TTI and longer than 1 ms.

[0241] A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in the time domain and the frequency domain, and may include one or more consecutive subcarriers (subcarriers) in the frequency domain. The number of subcarriers included in an RB may also be the same regardless of the parameter set, for example, 12. The number of subcarriers included in an RB may also be determined based on the parameter set.

[0242] In addition, an RB may also include one or more symbols in the time domain, and may also be the length of a slot, a mini-slot, a subframe, or a TTI. A TTI, a subframe, etc. may also be composed of one or more resource blocks, respectively.

[0243] In addition, one or more RBs may also be referred to as a physical resource block (Physical RB (PRB)), a sub-carrier group (Sub-Carrier Group (SCG)), a resource element group (Resource Element Group (REG)), a PRB pair, an RB pair, etc.

[0244] In addition, a resource block may be composed of one or more resource elements (RE). For example, one RE may be a radio resource region of one subcarrier and one symbol.

[0245] A Bandwidth Part (BWP) (also referred to as a partial bandwidth, etc.) may also represent a subset of contiguous common RBs (common resource blocks) for a parameter set in a carrier. Here, a common RB may also be identified by an index of the RB relative to a common reference point of the carrier. PRBs may also be defined in a BWP and numbered within the BWP.

[0246] The BWP may include a UL BWP (BWP for UL) and a DL BWP (BWP for DL). For a UE, one or more BWPs may be configured in one carrier.

[0247] At least one of the set BWPs may be activated, and the UE may not assume that a specific signal / channel is transmitted or received outside the activated BWP. In addition, "cell", "carrier", etc. in the present disclosure may also be rewritten as "BWP".

[0248] In addition, the above-mentioned structures such as radio frames, subframes, time slots, mini-time slots and symbols are only examples. For example, the number of subframes included in a radio frame, the number of time slots in each subframe or radio frame, the number of mini-time slots included in a time slot, the number of symbols and RBs included in a time slot or mini-time slot, the number of subcarriers included in an RB, the number of symbols in a TTI, the symbol length, and the cyclic prefix (CP) length can be changed in various ways.

[0249] In addition, the information, parameters, etc. described in the present disclosure may be represented by absolute values, relative values ​​relative to a specific value, or other corresponding information. For example, wireless resources may also be indicated by a specific index.

[0250] In the present disclosure, the names used for parameters, etc. are not limiting in all respects. Furthermore, the mathematical formulas, etc. using these parameters may be different from those explicitly disclosed in the present disclosure. Various channels (PUCCH, PDCCH, etc.) and information elements can be identified by any suitable names, and therefore, the various names assigned to these various channels and information elements are not limiting in all respects.

[0251] Information, signals, etc. described in this disclosure may also be represented using any of a variety of different techniques. For example, data, instructions, commands, information, signals, bits, symbols, chips, etc. that may be mentioned throughout the above description may also be represented by voltage, current, electromagnetic waves, magnetic fields or magnetic particles, light fields or photons, or any combination thereof.

[0252] Furthermore, information, signals, etc. can be output in at least one of the following directions: from a higher layer (upper layer) to a lower layer (lower layer), and from a lower layer to a higher layer. Information, signals, etc. can also be input and output via multiple network nodes.

[0253] The input and output information, signals, etc. may be stored in a specific location (e.g., a memory), or may be managed using a management table. The input and output information, signals, etc. may be overwritten, updated, or appended. The output information, signals, etc. may also be deleted. The input information, signals, etc. may also be sent to other devices.

[0254] The notification of information is not limited to the methods / implementations described in the present disclosure, and may also be performed by other methods. For example, the notification of information in the present disclosure may also be implemented through physical layer signaling (e.g., downlink control information (Downlink Control Information (DCI))), uplink control information (Uplink Control Information (UCI))), high-layer signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, broadcast information (Master Information Block (MIB)), System Information Block (SIB)), etc.), Medium Access Control (MAC) signaling), other signals or a combination thereof.

[0255] In addition, physical layer signaling may also be referred to as layer 1 / layer 2 (Layer 1 / Layer 2 (L1 / L2)) control information (L1 / L2 control signal), L1 control information (L1 control signal), etc. In addition, RRC signaling may also be referred to as an RRC message, such as an RRC connection establishment (RRC Connection Setup) message, an RRC connection reconstruction (RRC Connection Reconfiguration) message, etc. In addition, MAC signaling may also be notified using, for example, a MAC control element (MACControl Element (CE)).

[0256] Furthermore, notification of specific information (eg, notification of “it is X”) is not limited to explicit notification, but may be performed implicitly (eg, by not notifying the specific information or by notifying other information).

[0257] The determination can be made by a value represented by a bit (0 or 1), by a true or false value (Boolean value) represented by true or false, or by comparison of numerical values ​​(for example, comparison with a specific value).

[0258] Whether software is called software, firmware, middle-ware, microcode, hardware description language, or other names, it should be broadly interpreted as meaning instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, program, sub-program, software modules, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, sub-routines, objects, executable files, execution threads, procedures, functions, etc.

[0259] In addition, software, instructions, information, etc. may also be sent and received via a transmission medium. For example, when software is sent from a website, server, or other remote source using at least one of wired technology (coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), etc.) and wireless technology (infrared, microwave, etc.), at least one of these wired technology and wireless technology is included in the definition of transmission medium.

[0260] The terms "system" and "network" used in the present disclosure can be used interchangeably. "Network" may also refer to a device (eg, a base station) included in the network.

There are also cases where base stations are referred to by terms such as macro cell, small cell, micro-micro cell, and micro-micro cell.

[0263] A base station can accommodate one or more (for example, three) cells. When a base station accommodates multiple cells, the overall coverage area of ​​the base station can be divided into multiple smaller areas, and each smaller area can also provide communication services through a base station subsystem (for example, a small base station for indoor use (Remote Radio Head (RRH))). Terms such as "cell" or "sector" refer to a part or the entirety of the coverage area of ​​at least one of a base station and a base station subsystem that provides communication services within the coverage area.

[0264] In the present disclosure, the base station sending information to the terminal may also be rewritten as the base station instructing the terminal to control / operate based on the information.

[0265] In the present disclosure, terms such as “mobile station (MS)”, “user terminal”, “user device (User Equipment (UE))”, and “terminal” can be used interchangeably.

[0266] There are also cases where a mobile station is referred to as a subscriber station, mobile unit, subscriber unit, wireless unit, remote unit, mobile device, wireless device, wireless communication device, remote device, mobile subscriber station, access terminal, mobile terminal, wireless terminal, remote terminal, hand set, user agent, mobile client, client or several other appropriate terms.

The information service unit 59 provides various information / services (for example, multimedia information / multimedia services) to the occupants of the vehicle 40 using information obtained from an external device via the communication module 60, etc.

[0275] The information service unit 59 may include input devices for accepting input from the outside (e.g., keyboard, mouse, microphone, switch, button, sensor, touch panel, etc.), and may also include output devices for implementing output to the outside (e.g., display, speaker, LED light, touch panel, etc.).

In addition, the driving assistance system unit 64 sends and receives various information via the communication module 60 and realizes driving assistance function or autonomous driving function.

[0277] The communication module 60 can communicate with the microprocessor 61 and the components of the vehicle 40 via the communication port 63. For example, the communication module 60 transmits and receives data (information) between the drive unit 41, the steering unit 42, the accelerator pedal 43, the brake pedal 44, the shift lever 45, the left and right front wheels 46, the left and right rear wheels 47, the axle 48, the microprocessor 61 and the memory (ROM, RAM) 62 in the electronic control unit 49, and the various sensors 50-58 of the vehicle 40 via the communication port 63.

[0278] The communication module 60 can be controlled by the microprocessor 61 of the electronic control unit 49, and is a communication device that can communicate with an external device. For example, various information is sent and received with the external device via wireless communication. The communication module 60 can be located either inside or outside the electronic control unit 49. The external device can also be, for example, the above-mentioned base station 10, user terminal 20, etc. In addition, the communication module 60 can also be, for example, at least one of the above-mentioned base station 10 and user terminal 20 (it can also function as at least one of the base station 10 and user terminal 20).

[0279] The communication module 60 may also transmit at least one of the signals from the various sensors 50-58 input to the electronic control unit 49, information obtained based on the signals, and information based on input from the outside (user) obtained via the information service unit 59 to an external device via wireless communication. The electronic control unit 49, the various sensors 50-58, the information service unit 59, etc. may also be referred to as an input unit that receives input.

[0280] The communication module 60 receives various information (traffic information, signal information, vehicle-to-vehicle information, etc.) transmitted from an external device, and displays it to the information service unit 59 provided in the vehicle. The information service unit 59 may also be referred to as an output unit for outputting information (for example, outputting information to a display, a speaker, etc. based on the PDSCH received by the communication module 60 (or data / information decoded from the PDSCH)).

[0281] In addition, the communication module 60 stores various information received from the external device in the memory 62 that can be used by the microprocessor 61.

[0282] In addition, the base station in the present disclosure may also be rewritten as a user terminal. For example, the various methods / implementations of the present disclosure may also be applied to a structure in which the communication between a base station and a user terminal is replaced by the communication between multiple user terminals (for example, it may also be referred to as device-to-device (D2D)), vehicle-to-everything (V2X), etc.). In this case, it may also be set as a structure in which the user terminal 20 has the functions possessed by the above-mentioned base station 10. In addition, terms such as "uplink", "downlink", etc. may also be rewritten as terms corresponding to communication between terminals (for example, "sidelink"). For example, uplink channels, downlink channels, etc. may also be rewritten as sidelink channels.

[0283] Likewise, the user terminal in the present disclosure may be rewritten as a base station. In this case, the base station 10 may have the functions of the user terminal 20 described above.

[0284] In the present disclosure, the actions are assumed to be performed by the base station, and sometimes by its upper node (uppernode) depending on the situation. Obviously, in a network including one or more network nodes having a base station, various operations performed for communication with a terminal can be performed by the base station, one or more network nodes other than the base station (for example, consider the Mobility Management Entity (MME)), the Serving-Gateway (S-GW), etc., but not limited to these) or a combination thereof.

[0285] The various methods / implementations described in this disclosure may be used alone or in combination, and may be used in a switched manner as the method is executed. In addition, the processing procedures, timings, flow charts, etc. of the various methods / implementations described in this disclosure may be reversed in order as long as they are not contradictory.

[0287] The phrase “based on” used in the present disclosure does not mean “based only on” unless otherwise specified. In other words, the phrase “based on” means both “based only on” and “based at least on”.

[0288] Any reference to an element using the terms "first", "second", etc. used in this disclosure does not fully define the amount or order of these elements. These terms can be used in this disclosure as a convenient method to distinguish between two or more elements. Therefore, reference to the first and second elements does not mean that only two elements can be used or that the first element must take precedence over the second element in some form.

[0289] The term "determining" used in the present disclosure may include a variety of actions. For example, "determining" may also refer to situations where judging, calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up (e.g., searching in a table, database or other data structure), ascertaining, etc. are considered to be "determining".

[0290] In addition, "judgment (decision)" may also be a situation where receiving (for example, receiving information), sending (for example, sending information), input (input), output (output), accessing (for example, accessing data in a memory), etc. are regarded as making a "judgment (decision)".

[0291] In addition, "judgment (decision)" can also be regarded as a situation where resolving, selecting, choosing, establishing, comparing, etc. are regarded as a situation where "judgment (decision)" is performed. That is, "judgment (decision)" can also be regarded as a situation where some actions are regarded as a situation where "judgment (decision)" is performed.

[0292] In addition, "judge (decide)" can also be rewritten as "assuming (assuming)", "expecting (expecting)", "considering (considering)" and so on.

[0293] The “maximum transmit power” recorded in the present disclosure may refer to the maximum value of the transmit power, the nominal maximum transmit power (the nominal UE maximum transmit power), or the rated maximum transmit power (the rated maximum transmit power).

[0294] The terms "connected", "coupled", or all their variations used in this disclosure refer to all direct or indirect connections or combinations between two or more elements, and may include the situation where one or more intermediate elements exist between two elements that are "connected" or "coupled" to each other. The combination or connection between elements may be physical, logical, or a combination thereof. For example, "connection" may also be rewritten as "access".

[0295] In the present disclosure, when two elements are connected, it is possible to consider being "connected" or "combined" to each other using one or more wires, cables, printed electrical connections, etc., as well as being "connected" or "combined" to each other using electromagnetic energy with wavelengths in the wireless frequency domain, microwave region, light (both visible and invisible) region, etc. as several non-limiting and non-inclusive examples.

[0296] In the present disclosure, the term "A is different from B" may also mean "A and B are different from each other". In addition, the term may also mean "A and B are different from C, respectively". The terms "separate" and "combined" may also be interpreted in the same manner as "different".

[0297] When the terms “include,” “including,” and variations thereof are used in the present disclosure, these terms have an inclusive meaning, similar to the term “comprising.” Furthermore, the term “or” used in the present disclosure does not have an exclusive OR meaning.

[0298] In the present disclosure, when an article is added by translation like a, an, and the in English, for example, the present disclosure may also include a case where the noun following the article is in plural form.

[0299] In the present disclosure, "below", "less than", "above", "more than", "equal to", etc. can also be rephrased with each other. In addition, in the present disclosure, sentences meaning "good", "bad", "big", "small", "high", "low", "early", "late", "wide", "narrow", etc. can also be rephrased with each other, without being limited to the original degree, comparative degree, and superlative degree. In addition, in the present disclosure, sentences meaning "good", "bad", "big", "small", "high", "low", "early", "late", "wide", "narrow", etc. can also be rephrased with each other as expressions with "ith" attached, without being limited to the original degree, comparative degree, and superlative degree (for example, "highest" can also be rephrased with "i-th highest").

[0300] In the present disclosure, “of,” “for,” “regarding,” “related to,” “associated with,” etc. may also be replaced by each other.

[0301] The invention involved in the present disclosure is described in detail above, but it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the invention involved in the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described in the present disclosure. The invention involved in the present disclosure can be implemented as a modified and altered mode without departing from the gist and scope of the invention determined based on the description of the claims.
