[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0011】 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments described below are examples, and the embodiments to which the present invention is applied are not limited to those described below. 【0012】 In the operation of the wireless communication system according to the embodiments of the present invention, existing technologies may be used as appropriate. However, such existing technologies include, for example, existing LTE, but are not limited to existing LTE. Furthermore, the term "LTE" as used herein has a broad meaning that includes LTE-Advanced and LTE-Advanced and later methods (e.g., NR), unless otherwise specified. 【0013】 Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention described below, terms such as SS (Synchronization signal), PSS (Primary SS), SSS (Secondary SS), PBCH (Physical broadcast channel), PRACH (Physical random access channel), PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel), PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel), and PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel), which are used in existing LTE systems, will be used. This is for convenience of description, and similar signals, functions, etc., may be called 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 a signal is used in NR, it is not necessarily explicitly stated as "NR-". 【0014】 Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention, the duplex method may be a TDD (Time Division Duplex) method, an FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) method, or any other method (for example, a Flexible Duplex). 【0015】 Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention, "configuring" wireless parameters may mean that predetermined values ​​are pre-configured, or that wireless parameters notified from the base station 10 or terminal 20 are configured. 【0016】 (System Configuration) Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of the wireless communication system according to the present invention. The wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base station 10 and a terminal 20 as shown in FIG. 1. Although one base station 10 and one terminal 20 are shown in FIG. 1, this is an example, and there may be a plurality of each. 【0017】 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 the wireless signal are defined in the time domain and the frequency domain. 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 the number of resource blocks. Also, the TTI (Transmission Time Interval) in the time domain may be a slot or a subframe. 【0018】 The base station 10 transmits a synchronization signal and system information to the terminal 20. The synchronization signal is, for example, NR-PSS and NR-SSS. The system information is transmitted, for example, by NR-PBCH and is also referred to as notification information. The synchronization signal and the system information may be called an SSB (SS / PBCH block). As shown in FIG. 1, the base station 10 transmits a control signal or data to the terminal 20 in the DL (Downlink) and receives a control signal or data from the terminal 20 in the UL (Uplink). Both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 are capable of performing beamforming for signal transmission and reception. Also, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 are capable of applying communication by MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) to the DL or UL. Also, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 may communicate via a secondary cell (SCell: Secondary Cell) and a primary cell (PCell: Primary Cell) by CA (Carrier Aggregation). Furthermore, the terminal 20 may communicate via the primary cell of the base station 10 and the primary secondary cell group cell (PSCell: Primary SCG Cell) of another base station 10 by DC (Dual Connectivity). 【0019】 The terminal 20 is a communication device having a wireless communication function such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet, a wearable terminal, a communication module for M2M (Machine-to-Machine), etc. As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal 20 receives a control signal or data from the base station 10 in DL and transmits a control signal or data to the base station 10 in UL, thereby using various communication services provided by the wireless communication system. Further, the terminal 20 receives various reference signals transmitted from the base station 10 and performs measurement of propagation path quality based on the reception result of the reference signal. Note that the terminal 20 may be referred to as a UE, and the base station 10 may be referred to as a gNB. 【0020】 (Regarding RedCap of NR Release 17) First, the conventional RedCap of NR Release 17 will be described. The maximum bandwidth supported by the RedCap UE being considered in NR Release 17 is 20 MHz in FR1 (Frequency Range 1) and 100 MHz in FR2 (Frequency Range 2). Also, the RedCap UE is required to coexist with non-RedCap UEs (hereinafter also referred to as "non-RedCap UEs") in the system. 【0021】 Also, the RedCap UE and the non-RedCap UE may be able to share the same initial DL-BWP (Downlink Bandwidth part) (including subcarrier spacing, bandwidth, and position) set by the MIB (Master Information Block). On the other hand, an initial DL-BWP having a subcarrier spacing, bandwidth, and position separated or added for the RedCap UE may be set. 【0022】 The RedCap UE can share the non-RedCap UE-oriented initial DL-BWP (hereinafter also referred to as "DL-BWP#0") when not exceeding the maximum bandwidth supported by the RedCap UE. 【0023】 Furthermore, according to the NR Release 17 specification, in order to avoid RF retuning, DL-BWP and UL-BWP with the same index must have the same center frequency in the case of TDD. 【0024】 Furthermore, RedCapUE assumes that after (re)establishing a dedicated RRC connection, the initial DL-BWP and active DL-BWP will be less than or equal to the maximum DL bandwidth supported by RedCapUE. RedCapUE is provided with DL-BWP by "initialDownlinkBWP" in "DownlinkConfigCommonRedCapSIB" and with UL-BWP by "initialUplinkBWP" in "UplinkConfigCommonRedCapSIB". If "initialUplinkBWP" in "UplinkConfigCommonSIB" indicates an UL-BWP greater than the maximum UL-BWP supported by RedCapUE, RedCapUE assumes that UL-BWP will be provided by "initialUplinkBWP" in "UplinkConfigCommonRedCapSIB". 【0025】 In addition to the initial DL-BWP, RedCapUE may provide DL-BWP via "BWP-DownlinkDedicated". In addition to the initial UL-BWP, RedCapUE may provide UL-BWP up to the maximum UL bandwidth supported by RedCapUE via "BWP-UplinkDedicated". 【0026】 If "RACH-ConfigCommon-RedCap" or "RACH-ConfigCommonTwoStepRA-RedCap" is provided to RedCapUE, RedCapUE will use the corresponding parameters to perform the initial access and random access procedures. Otherwise, RedCapUE will use the corresponding parameters provided by "RACH-ConfigCommon" or "RACH-ConfigCommonTwoStepRA". 【0027】 If RedCapUE is provided with "initialUplinkBWP" in "UplinkConfigCommonRedCapSIB" and does not have a dedicated PUCCH resource configuration, it will use the PUCCH resource set provided by "pucch-ResourceCommonRedCap" to send PUCCH using HARQ-ACK information. Note that if "disable-FH-PUCCH" is provided in "PUCCH-ConfigCommonRedCap", PUCCH transmission will be disabled. 【0028】 For the initial DL-BWP provided by "initialDownlinkBWP" of "DownlinkConfigCommonRedCapSIB", RedCapUE monitors the PDCCH according to the CSS (Common Search Space) set of Type1-PDCCH, and if it does not monitor the PDCCH according to the CSS set of Type2-PDCCH, it recognizes that the initial DL-BWP does not contain an SS / PBCH block or a CORESET with index 0. 【0029】 When RedCapUE monitors a PDCCH according to the CSS set for Type2-PDCCH, it assumes that the initial DL-BWP will contain the SS / PBCH block and the CORESET at index 0 if RedCapUE used the SS / PBCH block to retrieve the SIB1, and will not contain the CORESET at index 0 if the SS / PBCH block is included but the initial DL-BWP does not contain the SS / PBCH block that RedCapUE used to retrieve the SIB1. 【0030】 For active DL-BWPs provided by "BWP-DownlinkDedicated", RedCapUE assumes that the active DL-BWP contains SS / PBCH blocks and does not contain a CORESET at index 0, unless it indicates a function that operates on the DL-BWP without receiving SS / PBCH blocks. 【0031】 (Regarding RedCap in NR Release 18) Next, we will explain the status of RedCap considerations for NR Release 18. In NR Release 18, eRedCap is being considered to further reduce the complexity of RedCapUE for NR Release 17. Hereafter, we will distinguish between the two by referring to the feature-reduced terminal for NR Release 17 as RedCapUE and the extended feature-reduced terminal for NR Release 18 as eRedCapUE. RedCapUE is an example of the first feature-reduced terminal. eRedCapUE is an example of the second feature-reduced terminal. That is, the first feature-reduced terminal is a terminal with the first features reduced, and the second feature-reduced terminal is a terminal with the second features reduced, which are different from the first features (including cases where there is some overlap). 【0032】 The impact on the network, the coexistence of RedCapUE or eRedCapUE and non-RedCapUE within a cell, the impact on the UE, and the impact on specifications are being considered. Potential complementary solutions to reduce device complexity are focusing on the following: 【0033】 As a first solution, a reduction of the UE bandwidth in FR1 to 5 MHz is being considered. This solution may be specified in combination with relaxed UE processing timelines for PDSCH and / or PUSCH and / or CSI. 【0034】 As a second solution, reducing the UE peak data rate of FR1 is being considered. This solution may involve limited bandwidth for PDSCH and / or PUSCH and could be specified in combination with a relaxed UE processing timeline for PDSCH and / or PUSCH and / or CSI. 【0035】 Furthermore, the following points should be considered in eRedCapUE: Specifically, the SSB specified in NR Release 15 should be reused, minimizing changes to L1. Also, BWP operation with and without SSB and with and without RF retuning should be considered. Additionally, consideration should be given to not ruling out the possibility of applying some FR1 solutions to FR2. Finally, to further reduce UE complexity, defining a type of reduced-feature terminal for a single Release 18 is being considered. 【0036】 (Previous problems) Next, I will explain the conventional problems. 【0037】 Figure 2 illustrates the problems with conventional frequency hopping. When the eRedCapUE bandwidth is limited to 5MHz, eRedCapUE cannot support operation at BWPs above 5MHz, and the BWP bandwidth is limited to 5MHz. In this case, the frequency diversity gain of frequency hopping is insufficient, resulting in a problem where the coverage of eRedCapUE is reduced compared to non-eRedCapUE. 【0038】 (Summary of this embodiment) Therefore, in this embodiment, when frequency hopping is applied to the transmission of uplink channels / signals to eRedCapUE, an example of setting the resources of the first / second hop across multiple BWPs will be described. Unless otherwise specified, the terminal 20 in this embodiment is assumed to be eRedCapUE. 【0039】 First, we will explain the definitions of RedCapUE, eRedCapUE, and non-RedCapUE. 【0040】 The definition of RedCapUE may be any of the following 1)-3), or any other definition may be used. 【0041】 1) A UE that notifies the network that its device is a RedCapUE via Msg.1 / 3 / A. For example, it may send Msg.1 / A using a resource specified or configured for RedCapUE, or it may notify that its device is a RedCapUE via a notification field in Msg3 specified or configured for RedCapUE. 【0042】 2) A UE that supports a specific UE capability. For example, the specific UE capability may be a UE capability that supports a maximum bandwidth of 20 MHz in FR1 and a maximum bandwidth of 100 MHz in FR2. The specific UE capability may also be a UE capability that supports one or two receive branches and a maximum number of DL-MIMO layers corresponding to the number of supported receive branches. The specific UE capability may also be a UE capability that supports either FD-FDD (Full Duplex-Frequency Division Duplex) or Type A HD-FDD (Half Duplex-Frequency Division Duplex) operation in the FDD band of FR1. The specific UE capability may also be a UE capability that supports either DL up to 64QAM (Quadrature amplitude modulation) or DL ​​up to 256QAM in FR1. The specific UE capability may also be a UE capability that does not support CA and / or DC. 【0043】 3) A UE that has reported to the network that it supports the specific UE capabilities described in 2) above. 【0044】 Furthermore, the definition of eRedCapUE may be any of the following 1)-3), or any other definition may be used. 【0045】 1) A UE that notifies the network that its device is an eRedCapUE via Msg.1 / 3 / A. For example, it may send Msg.1 / A using a resource specified or configured for eRedCapUE, or it may notify that its device is an eRedCapUE via a notification field in Msg3 specified or configured for eRedCapUE. 【0046】 2) A UE that supports a specific UE capability. For example, the specific UE capability may be a UE capability that supports a maximum bandwidth of 5 MHz in FR1. The specific UE capability may also be a UE capability that supports a relaxed UE processing timeline for PDSCH and / or PUSCH and / or CSI. The specific UE capability may also be a UE capability that supports a reduced UE peak data rate in FR1. The specific UE capability may also be a UE capability that supports one or two receive branches and a maximum number of DL-MIMO layers corresponding to the number of supported receive branches. The specific UE capability may also be a UE capability that supports either FD-FDD (Full Duplex-Frequency Division Duplex) or Type A HD-FDD (Half Duplex-Frequency Division Duplex) operation in the FDD band of FR1. The specific UE capability may also be a UE capability that supports either DL up to 64QAM (Quadrature amplitude modulation) or DL ​​up to 256QAM in FR1. The specific UE capability may also be a UE capability that does not support CA and / or DC. 【0047】 3) A UE that has reported to the network that it supports the specific UE capabilities described in 2) above. 【0048】 Furthermore, terminal 20 may report UE capabilities indicating whether or not it supports the functions shown in each embodiment described later. For example, terminal 20 may report UE capabilities indicating whether or not it supports functions that use a non-RedCapUE or a different initial DL / UL-BWP than RedCapUE. Also, the UE that reports supporting such functions may be eRedCapUE, or eRedCapUE may support such functions as an option. 【0049】 Furthermore, the definition of a non-RedCapUE may include any UE that does not fall under the definition of either RedCapUE or eRedCapUE, any UE that supports features that are mandatory for a regular UE, or any UE that supports bandwidth exceeding the maximum bandwidth supported by RedCapUE. 【0050】 Furthermore, the SSB / PBCH / PBCH-DMRS in this embodiment may be SSB / PBCH / PBCH-DMRS transmitted individually to eRedCapUE, or it may be SSB / PBCH / PBCH-DMRS shared with or without RedCapUE. 【0051】 Next, we will describe an example of setting up first / second hop resources across multiple BWPs when applying frequency hopping to eRedCapUE for uplink channel / signal transmission. 【0052】 When terminal 20 applies frequency hopping for uplink channel / signal transmission, it may assume that first-hop / second-hop resources are configured across multiple BWPs. 【0053】 With respect to the target uplink channel / signal, terminal 20 may assume that it applies to at least one of PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS. 【0054】 Next, I will explain how to determine the resources for the second hop. 【0055】 Terminal 20 may assume that the association between the first hop / second hop and the BWP index will be notified by upper-layer signaling / DCI. For example, terminal 20 may assume that it will be notified that the first hop will be sent as BWP#X and the second hop as BWP#Y. 【0056】 For PUSCH and CG-PUSCH, it can be assumed that the resources for the second hop are configured by "pusch-Config" for the BWP for the first hop. 【0057】 <Option 1> Terminal 20 may interpret the value notified by "frequencyHoppingOffset" in "frequencyHoppingOffsetLists" included in the information element of the upper layer parameter "pusch-Config" as the starting RB index in the BWP for the second hop. 【0058】 <Option 2> Terminal 20 may interpret the starting RB index calculated for the second hop as the starting RB index for the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0059】 <Option 3> Terminal 20 may interpret the starting RB index for the first hop as the starting RB index for the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0060】 <Option 4> Terminal 20 may assume that the new field will notify it of the start RB index of the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0061】 <Option 5> Terminal 20 may use a predetermined fixed value or a set fixed value as the starting RB index for the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0062】 Furthermore, terminal 20 may assume that, for PUSCH and CG-PUSCH, the resources for the second hop are configured by "pusch-Config" for the BWP for the second hop. 【0063】 <Option 1> Terminal 20 may interpret the value notified by "frequencyHoppingOffsetLists / frequencyHoppingOffset" included in the information element of the higher-layer parameter "pusch-Config" as the start RB index for the second hop. 【0064】 <Option 2> Terminal 20 may interpret the starting RB index calculated for the second hop as the starting RB index for the second hop. 【0065】 <Option 3> Terminal 20 may interpret the starting RB index for the first hop as the starting RB index for the second hop. 【0066】 <Option 4> Terminal 20 may expect to be notified of the start RB index of the second hop by a new field. 【0067】 <Option 5> Terminal 20 may use a predetermined fixed value or a set fixed value as the start RB index for the second hop. 【0068】 Furthermore, terminal 20 may assume that, for MsgA's PUSCH, the second-hop resource is configured by "MsgA-PUSCH-Resource". 【0069】 <Option 1> Terminal 20 may interpret the frequency offset notified by the upper-layer parameter "msgA-HoppingBits" as the start RB index of the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0070】 <Option 2> Terminal 20 may assume that the new field will notify it of the start RB index of the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0071】 Furthermore, terminal 20 may assume that, after the RRC connection, the resources of the second hop will be configured by "PUCCH-Config" for the BWP for the first hop. 【0072】 <Option 1> Terminal 20 may interpret the PRB index notified by "secondHopPRB" as the start RB index for the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0073】 <Option 2> Terminal 20 may interpret the starting RB index for the first hop as the starting RB index for the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0074】 <Option 3> Terminal 20 may assume that the new field will notify it of the start RB index of the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0075】 <Option 4> Terminal 20 may use a predetermined fixed value or a set fixed value as the start RB index for the second hop. 【0076】 Furthermore, terminal 20 may assume that, after the RRC connection, the resources for the second hop will be configured by "PUCCH-Config" for the BWP for the second hop. 【0077】 <Option 1> Terminal 20 may interpret the PRB index notified by "secondHopPRB" as the starting RB index for the second hop. 【0078】 <Option 2> Terminal 20 may interpret the starting RB index for the first hop as the starting RB index for the second hop. 【0079】 <Option 3> Terminal 20 may expect to be notified of the start RB index of the second hop by a new field. 【0080】 <Option 4> Terminal 20 may use a predetermined fixed value or a set fixed value as the start RB index for the second hop. 【0081】 Furthermore, terminal 20 may interpret PUCCH before RRC connection as follows: 【0082】 <Option 1> Terminal 20 may interpret the PRB offset of the second hop notified by PRI as the RB index of the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0083】 <Option 2> Terminal 20 may interpret the PRB offset of the first hop, notified by PRI, as the RB index of the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0084】 Furthermore, terminal 20 may assume that the second-hop resource for SRS is configured by "SRS-Resource". 【0085】 <Option 1> Terminal 20 may interpret the second-hop resource notified by "freqHopping" as the second-hop resource in the BWP for the second hop. 【0086】 <Option 2> Terminal 20 may assume that the new field will notify it of the resources at the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0087】 Furthermore, terminal 20 may be configured with one or more BWPs (two or more in total) in addition to the initial uplink BWP via SIB1. 【0088】 Next, we will explain how to set the interval between the first and second hops. 【0089】 Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating an overview of frequency hopping according to an embodiment of the present invention. Terminal 20 may be assumed to have a newly defined switching time ("switching time") between the first hop and the second hop, which takes into account the time required for RF retuning in addition to the switching delay due to BWP switching. 【0090】 <Option 1> Terminal 20 may assume that a value indicating the switching time is defined in the specifications. 【0091】 <Option 2> Terminal 20 may report capability information related to RF retuning to base station 10, and it may be assumed that a switching time is set based on this information. 【0092】 Furthermore, terminal 20 may assume that a new time is defined for RF retuning. In this case, terminal 20 may calculate the allowable interval between the first hop and the second hop by adding the time for RF retuning and the switching delay. 【0093】 Furthermore, it may be assumed that the configurable values ​​for terminal 20 will be expanded by "guardPeriodMsgA-PUSCH". 【0094】 Next, we will explain how to determine the time resources for the second hop. 【0095】 <Option 1> Terminal 20 may interpret the settings for the first hop as the settings for the second hop in the BWP for the second hop. 【0096】 <Option 2> Terminal 20 may expect to be notified of the time resources for the second hop by a new field in the DCI or higher-layer parameters. 【0097】 <Option 3> Terminal 20 may assume that the first uplink slot available after the BWP switching delay and RF retuning from the final symbol of the first hop is the time resource for the second hop. 【0098】 Terminal 20 may determine the time resources for the second hop by combining several of the above-mentioned options. 【0099】 Next, we will explain the capability information reported by terminal 20. 【0100】 Terminal 20 may report capability information to base station 10 indicating whether or not it supports frequency hopping across multiple BWPs, and it may be assumed that “UE capability signaling” for this purpose is defined. 【0101】 The granularity of reporting terminal capability information may be per terminal, per frequency range (FR), per duplexing system (TDD / FDD), per frequency band, per BC, per FS, or per FSPC. 【0102】 According to this embodiment, when applying frequency hopping to eRedCapUE, the resources of the first and second hops are set across multiple BWPs. This allows terminals with reduced functionality to obtain sufficient frequency diversity gain through frequency hopping. 【0103】 (Device configuration) Next, we will describe an example of the functional configuration of the base station 10 and terminal 20 that perform the processes and operations described above. 【0104】 <Base station 10> Figure 4 shows an example of the functional configuration of the base station 10. As shown in Figure 4, the base station 10 has a transmitting unit 110, a receiving unit 120, a setting unit 130, and a control unit 140. The functional configuration shown in Figure 4 is merely an example. The names of the functional categories and functional units can be anything as long as they can perform the operations according to the embodiment of the present invention. Also, the transmitting unit 110 and the receiving unit 120 may be collectively referred to as the communication unit. 【0105】 The transmitting unit 110 includes the function of generating a signal to be transmitted to the terminal 20 and transmitting the signal wirelessly. The receiving unit 120 includes the function of receiving various signals transmitted from the terminal 20 and obtaining information from the received signals, for example, information from a higher layer. The transmitting unit 110 also has the function of transmitting NR-PSS, NR-SSS, NR-PBCH, DL / UL control signals, DCI via PDCCH, data via PDSCH, etc. to the terminal 20. 【0106】 The setting unit 130 stores pre-configured setting information and various setting information to be transmitted to the terminal 20 in a storage device provided by the setting unit 130, and reads it from the storage device as needed. 【0107】 The control unit 140 schedules DL reception or UL transmission of terminal 20 via the transmission unit 110. The control unit 140 also includes a function for LBT (Low-Block Transmission). The functions related to signal transmission in the control unit 140 may be included in the transmission unit 110, and the functions related to signal reception in the control unit 140 may be included in the reception unit 120. The transmission unit 110 may also be called a transmitter, and the reception unit 120 may be called a receiver. 【0108】 <Terminal 20> Figure 5 shows an example of the functional configuration of terminal 20. As shown in Figure 5, terminal 20 has a transmitting unit 210, a receiving unit 220, a setting unit 230, and a control unit 240. The functional configuration shown in Figure 5 is merely an example. Any functional classification and name of functional unit is acceptable as long as it can perform the operations according to the embodiment of the present invention. The transmitting unit 210 and the receiving unit 220 may be collectively referred to as the communication unit. 【0109】 The transmitting unit 210 creates a transmission signal from the transmission data and transmits the transmission signal wirelessly. The receiving unit 220 wirelessly receives various signals and acquires signals from higher layers from the received physical layer signals. The receiving unit 220 also has the function of receiving NR-PSS, NR-SSS, NR-PBCH, DL / UL / SL control signals, DCI via PDCCH, data via PDSCH, etc. transmitted from the base station 10. Alternatively, for example, the transmitting unit 210 may transmit PSCCH (Physical Sidelink Control Channel), PSSCH (Physical Sidelink Shared Channel), PSDCH (Physical Sidelink Discovery Channel), PSBCH (Physical Sidelink Broadcast Channel), etc. to another terminal 20 as D2D communication, and the receiving unit 120 may receive PSCCH, PSSCH, PSDCH or PSBCH, etc. from the other terminal 20. 【0110】 The setting unit 230 stores various setting information received from the base station 10 or other terminals by the receiving unit 220 in a storage device provided in the setting unit 230, and reads it from the storage device as needed.

The boundaries of functional units or processing units in the functional block diagram do not necessarily correspond to the boundaries of physical parts. The operation of multiple functional units may be physically performed by one part, or the operation of one functional unit may be physically performed by multiple parts. Regarding the processing procedures described in the embodiments, the order of processing may be changed as long as it does not contradict each other. For the convenience of explaining the processing, the base station 10 and terminal 20 have been described using functional block diagrams, but such devices may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination thereof. The software operated by the processor of the base station 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention and the software operated by the processor of the terminal 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be stored in random access memory (RAM), flash memory, read-only memory (ROM), EPROM, EEPROM, registers, hard disk (HDD), removable disk, CD-ROM, database, server, or any other suitable storage medium. 【0140】 Furthermore, the notification of information is not limited to the embodiments / models described herein and may be carried out by other methods.

It may also apply to a combination of multiple systems (for example, a combination of at least one of LTE and LTE-A with 5G). 【0142】 The processing procedures, sequences, flowcharts, etc., of each aspect / embodiment described herein may be reordered, provided they are consistent with each other. For example, the methods described herein present various step elements in an exemplary order and are not limited to that specific order. 【0143】 In this specification, specific operations performed by the base station 10 may, in some cases, be performed by its upper node. In a network consisting of one or more network nodes having a base station 10, it is clear that various operations performed for communication with the terminal 20 can be performed by the base station 10 and at least one of the other network nodes (for example, an MME or S-GW, but not limited to these).

For example, if software is transmitted from a website, server, or other remote source using at least one of wired technology (such as coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, or digital subscriber line (DSL)) and wireless technology (such as infrared or microwave), then at least one of these wired and wireless technologies is included in the definition of a transmission medium. 【0149】 The information, signals, etc. described in this disclosure may be represented using any of the various different techniques. For example, the data, instructions, commands, information, signals, bits, symbols, chips, etc. that may be referred to throughout the above description may be represented by voltage, current, electromagnetic waves, magnetic fields or magnetic particles, optical fields or photons, or any combination thereof. 【0150】 In addition, terms used in this disclosure and terms necessary for understanding this disclosure may be replaced with terms having the same or similar meanings.

For example, wireless resources may be indicated by an index. 【0153】 The names used for the parameters described above are not restrictive in any way. Furthermore, the formulas and other expressions using these parameters may differ from those expressly disclosed in this disclosure. Various channels (e.g., PUCCH, PDCCH, etc.) and information elements can be identified by any suitable name, and therefore, the various names assigned to these various channels and information elements are not restrictive in any way. 【0154】 In this disclosure, terms such as "Base Station (BS)", "wireless base station", "base station", "fixed station", "NodeB", "eNodeB (eNB)", "gNodeB (gNB)", "access point", "transmission point", "reception point", "transmission / reception point", "cell", "sector", "cell group", "carrier", and "component carrier" may be used interchangeably. Base stations may also be referred to by terms such as macrocell, small cell, femtocell, and picocell. 【0155】 A base station can house one or more (e.g., three) cells. If a base station houses multiple cells, the entire coverage area of ​​the base station can be divided into several smaller areas, each of which may also be provided with communication services by a base station subsystem (e.g., a Remote Radio Head (RRH)). The terms “cell” or “sector” refer to part or all of the coverage area of ​​at least one of the base station and / or base station subsystems that provide communication services in that coverage. 【0156】 In this disclosure, the transmission of information by a base station to a terminal may be interpreted as the base station instructing the terminal to perform information-based control or operation. 【0157】 In this disclosure, terms such as "Mobile Station (MS)," "user terminal," "User Equipment (UE)," and "terminal" may be used interchangeably. 【0158】 A mobile station may also be referred to by those skilled in the art 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, handset, user agent, mobile client, client, or several other appropriate terms. 【0159】 At least one of the base station and the mobile station may be called a transmitting device, a receiving device, a communication device, etc. At least one of the base station and the mobile station may also be a device mounted on a mobile body, the mobile body itself, etc. The mobile body refers to a movable object, and its speed of movement is arbitrary. This also includes the case when the mobile body is stationary. The mobile body includes, but is not limited to, vehicles, transport vehicles, automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, connected cars, excavators, bulldozers, wheel loaders, dump trucks, forklifts, trains, buses, handcarts, rickshaws, ships and other watercraft, airplanes, rockets, satellites, drones (registered trademark), multicopters, quadcopters, balloons, and items mounted on them.

Furthermore, at least one of the base station and the mobile station may include devices that do not necessarily move during communication operations. For example, at least one of the base station and the mobile station may be an IoT (Internet of Things) device such as a sensor. 【0160】 Furthermore, the term "base station" in this disclosure may be interpreted as "user terminal." For example, the various aspects / embodiments of this disclosure may be applied to a configuration in which communication between a base station and a user terminal is replaced with communication between multiple terminals 20 (which may be called, for example, D2D (Device-to-Device), V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything), etc.). In this case, the terminals 20 may have the functions that the base station 10 has. Also, terms such as "uplink" and "downlink" may be interpreted as terms corresponding to terminal-to-terminal communication (for example, "side"). For example, uplink channel, downlink channel, etc., may be interpreted as side channel. 【0161】 Similarly, the term "user terminal" in this disclosure may be replaced with "base station." In this case, the base station may be configured to have the same functions as the user terminal described above. 【0162】 As used in this disclosure, the terms “determining” and “determining” may encompass a wide variety of actions. “Determining” may include, for example, judging, calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up, searching, inquiry (e.g., searching in a table, database, or other data structure), and ascertaining. “Determining” may also include, for example, receiving (e.g., receiving information), transmitting (e.g., sending information), input, output, and accessing (e.g., accessing data in memory). Furthermore, "judgment" and "decision" can include considering something as having been "judged" or "decided" after resolving, selecting, choosing, establishing, comparing, etc. In other words, "judgment" and "decision" can include considering something as having been "judged" or "decided" after some action. Also, "judgment (decision)" can be reinterpreted as "assuming," "expecting," or "considering." 【0163】 The terms “connected,” “coupled,” or any variation thereof, mean any direct or indirect connection or coupling between two or more elements, and may include the presence of one or more intermediate elements between two elements that are “connected” or “coupled” with each other. The coupling or connection between elements may be physical, logical, or a combination thereof. For example, “connection” may be reinterpreted as “access.” As used in this disclosure, two elements may be considered to be “connected” or “coupled” with each other using at least one of one or more wires, cables, and printed electrical connections, and, in some non-limiting and non-exclusive examples, electromagnetic energy having wavelengths in the radio frequency domain, microwave domain, and optical (both visible and invisible) domain. 【0164】 The reference signal can also be abbreviated as RS (Reference Signal), and may be called a pilot depending on the applicable standard. 【0165】 In this disclosure, the phrase "based on" does not mean "based solely on" unless otherwise specified. In other words, the phrase "based on" means both "based solely on" and "based at least on." 【0166】 Any reference to elements using the designations “first,” “second,” etc., as used in this disclosure does not generally limit the quantity or order of those elements. These designations may be used in this disclosure as a convenient way to distinguish between two or more elements. Accordingly, references to the first and second elements do not imply that only two elements may be employed, or that the first element must precede the second element in any way. 【0167】 In the configuration of each of the above devices, "means" may be replaced with "part," "circuit," "device," etc. 【0168】 Where the terms “include,” “including,” and variations thereof are used in this disclosure, these terms are intended to be inclusive, as is the term “comprising.” Furthermore, the term “or” as used in this disclosure is not intended to mean exclusive OR. 【0169】 A wireless frame may consist of one or more frames in the time domain. Each of these frames in the time domain may be called a subframe. A subframe may further consist of one or more slots in the time domain. A subframe may have a fixed time length (e.g., 1 ms) that is independent of numerology. 【0170】 Numerical logic may be communication parameters applied to at least one of the transmission and reception of a signal or channel. Numerical logic may include, for example, at least one of the following: subcarrier spacing (SCS), bandwidth, symbol length, cyclic prefix length, transmission time interval (TTI), number of symbols per TTI, radio frame configuration, specific filtering processes performed by the transceiver in the frequency domain, and specific windowing processes performed by the transceiver in the time domain. 【0171】 A slot may consist of one or more symbols in the time domain (such as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols, SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) symbols, etc.). A slot may also be a time unit based on neurology. 【0172】 A slot may include multiple minislots. Each minislot may consist of one or more symbols in the time domain. Minislots may also be called subslots. Minislots may consist of fewer symbols than a slot. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted in a time unit larger than a minislot may be called PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type A. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using a minislot may be called PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type B. 【0173】 Wireless frames, subframes, slots, minislots, and symbols all represent units of time when transmitting a signal. Different names may be used for each of these terms. 【0174】 For example, one subframe may be called a Transmission Time Interval (TTI), multiple consecutive subframes may be called a TTI, or one slot or one mini-slot may be called a TTI. In other words, 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. Note that the unit representing the TTI may be called a slot, mini-slot, etc., instead of a subframe. 【0175】 Here, TTI refers to, for example, the smallest unit of time for scheduling in wireless communication. For example, in an LTE system, the base station schedules each terminal 20 to allocate wireless resources (such as the frequency bandwidth and transmission power available to each terminal 20) in TTI units. However, the definition of TTI is not limited to this. 【0176】 TTI may be a transmission time unit for channel-encoded data packets (transport blocks), code blocks, code words, etc., or it may be a processing unit for scheduling, link adaptation, etc. Given a TTI, the actual time interval (e.g., number of symbols) to which the transport block, code block, code word, etc. are mapped may be shorter than the given TTI. 【0177】 Furthermore, if one slot or one mini-slot is referred to as TTI, then one or more TTIs (i.e., one or more slots or one or more mini-slots) may constitute the minimum time unit of scheduling. In addition, the number of slots (number of mini-slots) that constitute the minimum time unit of scheduling may be controlled. 【0178】 A TTI with a time length of 1ms may also be called a normal TTI, long TTI, normal subframe, long subframe, slot, etc. A TTI shorter than a normal TTI may also be called a shortened TTI, short TTI, partial or fractional TTI, shortened subframe, short subframe, mini slot, sub slot, slot, etc. 【0179】 Furthermore, long TTIs (e.g., normal TTIs, subframes, etc.) may be interpreted as TTIs with a time length exceeding 1 ms, and short TTIs (e.g., shortened TTIs, etc.) may be interpreted as TTIs with a TTI length less than that of a long TTI but 1 ms or more. 【0180】 A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in the time domain and frequency domain, and in the frequency domain, it may contain one or more consecutive subcarriers. The number of subcarriers in an RB may be the same regardless of the neurology, for example, 12. The number of subcarriers in an RB may be determined based on the neurology. 【0181】 Furthermore, the time domain of RB may contain one or more symbols and may be the length of one slot, one minislot, one subframe, or one TTI. One TTI, one subframe, etc., may each consist of one or more resource blocks. 【0182】 One or more RBs may also be called a Physical RB (PRB), Sub-Carrier Group (SCG), Resource Element Group (REG), PRB pair, RB pair, etc. 【0183】 Furthermore, a resource block may consist of one or more resource elements (REs). For example, one RE may be a radio resource area comprising one subcarrier and one symbol. 【0184】 A Bandwidth Part (BWP), also known as a partial bandwidth, may represent a subset of consecutive common resource blocks (RBs) for a particular neurology system in a given carrier. These common RBs may be identified by an index of the RBs relative to a common reference point of the carrier. A Bandwidth Part (PRB) may be defined and numbered within a given BWP. 【0185】 A BWP may include a BWP for UL (Ultraviolet Link) and a BWP for DL ​​(Download Link). One or more BWPs may be set for a terminal 20 within a single carrier. 【0186】 At least one of the configured BWPs may be active, and terminal 20 does not need to be expected to send or receive a predetermined signal / channel outside of the active BWP. In this disclosure, terms such as "cell" and "carrier" may be read as "BWP". 【0187】 The structures described above, such as wireless frames, subframes, slots, minislots, and symbols, are merely illustrative. For example, the number of subframes included in a wireless frame, the number of slots per subframe or wireless frame, the number of minislots included in a slot, the number of symbols and RBs included in a slot or minislot, the number of subcarriers included in an RB, and the number of symbols, symbol length, and cyclic prefix (CP) length within a TTI can be varied in various ways. 【0188】 In this disclosure, if articles are added through translation, such as a, an, and the in English, this disclosure may include the fact that the noun following these articles is plural. 【0189】 In this disclosure, the term "A and B are different" may mean "A and B are different from each other." The term may also mean "A and B are each different from C." Terms such as "separate" and "combine" may be interpreted similarly to "different." 【0190】 Each aspect / embodiment described herein may be used individually, in combination, or switched between as needed during implementation. Furthermore, notification of specific information (e.g., notification that "X is") is not limited to explicit notification, but may also be implicit (e.g., by not providing such notification). 【0191】 Although the present disclosure has been described in detail above, it will be clear to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described herein. The present disclosure can be implemented in modified and altered forms without departing from the intent and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the claims. Therefore, the descriptions in the present disclosure are illustrative and not intended to be restrictive in any way.
