[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. Such existing technologies include, but are not limited to, existing NR or LTE. Furthermore, the term "LTE" as used herein has a broad meaning that includes LTE-Advanced and LTE-Advanced and later technologies (e.g., NR), unless otherwise specified.

[0013] In addition, 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), PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel), etc., which are used in existing LTE, are used. This is for convenience of description, and signals, functions, etc. similar to these may be called by other names. Also, the above-mentioned terms in NR correspond to NR-SS, NR-PSS, NR-SSS, NR-PBCH, NR-PRACH, etc. However, even for signals used in NR, it is not always necessary to specify "NR-".

[0014] Also, in the embodiments of the present invention, the duplex mode may be a TDD (Time Division Duplex) mode, an FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) mode, or another mode (for example, Flexible Duplex, etc.).

[0015] Also, in the embodiments of the present invention, that a radio parameter or the like is "configured" may mean that a predetermined value is pre-configured, or that a radio parameter notified from a base station or a terminal is configured.

[0016] (System configuration) FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. A wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base station 10 and a terminal 20, as shown in Figure 1. Although Figure 1 shows one base station 10 and one terminal 20, this is an example, and there may be multiple base stations 10 and terminal 20.

[0017] Base station 10 is a communication device that provides one or more cells and performs wireless communication with 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 resource blocks. In addition, the TTI (Transmission Time Interval) in the time domain may be a slot, or the TTI may be a subframe.

[0018] The base station 10 transmits synchronization signals and system information to the terminal 20. The synchronization signals are, for example, NR-PSS and NR-SSS. The system information is transmitted, for example, via NR-PBCH and is also called broadcast information. The synchronization signals and system information may also be called SSB (SS / PBCH block). As shown in Figure 1, the base station 10 transmits control signals or data to the terminal 20 via DL (Downlink) and receives control signals or data from the terminal 20 via UL (Uplink). Both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 are capable of transmitting and receiving signals using beamforming. Furthermore, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 are capable of applying MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) communication to DL or UL. In addition, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 may communicate via secondary cells (SCell) and primary cells (PCell) using CA (Carrier Aggregation). Furthermore, terminal 20 may communicate via the primary cell of base station 10 and the primary secondary cell group cell (PSCell: Primary SCG Cell) of other base stations 10 using DC (Dual Connectivity).

[0019] Terminal 20 is a communication device equipped with wireless communication capabilities, such as a smartphone, mobile phone, tablet, wearable device, or M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication module. As shown in Figure 1, Terminal 20 receives control signals or data from the base station 10 via DL and transmits control signals or data to the base station 10 via UL, thereby utilizing various communication services provided by the wireless communication system. Terminal 20 also receives various reference signals transmitted from the base station 10 and performs propagation path quality measurements based on the reception results of these reference signals. Terminal 20 may also be referred to as UE and base station 10 as gNB.

[0020] Figure 2 shows an example of frequency ranges according to an embodiment of the present invention. The NR specification of 3GPP Release 17 considers operating in frequency bands above 52.6 GHz, for example. As shown in Figure 2, the currently defined frequency range FR (Frequency range) 1 is from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz, with a Subcarrier Spacing (SCS) of 15, 30, or 60 kHz and a bandwidth of 5 MHz to 100 MHz. FR2-1 is from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz, with an SCS of 60, 120, or 240 kHz and a bandwidth of 50 MHz to 400 MHz. Furthermore, the newly introduced frequency band, FR2-2, is from 52.6 GHz to 71 GHz.

[0021] In the newly operated frequency band FR2-2, up to 64 SSB beams may be supported in both the licensed and unlicensed bands. Furthermore, in the initial Bandwidth Part (BWP), 120kHz SCS for SSB and 120kHz SCS for initial access signals and channels may be supported.

[0022] In addition to 120kHz SCS, SSB at 480kHz SCS may be supported. This SSB may enable initial access to support CORESET (Control Resource Set)#0 / Type0-PDCCH included in the MIB. However, the following limitations may apply: For example, the entry number of the synchronization raster may be restricted. Also, in the case of 480kHz SCS SSB, only 480kHz SCS CORESET#0 / Type0-PDCCH may be supported. Furthermore, SSB-CORESET multiplexing pattern 1 (SS / PBCH block and CORESET multiplexing pattern 1) may be preferred.

[0023] It may be supported to uniquely identify the ANR (Automatic Neighbor Relation) and PCI (Physical Cell Identity) for detecting 120kHz SCS, 480kHz SCS, and 960kHz SCS SSBs. It may also be supported to support CORESET#0 / Type0-PDCCH included in the MIB of 120kHz SCS, 480kHz SCS, and 960kHz SSBs. Furthermore, it may be supported to support one CORESET#0 / Type0-PDCCH SCS per SSB SCS. For example, {SSB SCS, CORESET#0 / Type0-PDCCH SCS} may support {120,120}, {480,480}, and {960,960}.

[0024] Next, we will explain the multi-PDCCH monitoring function being considered in NR Release 17.

[0025] In communications in the 52.6–71 GHz (FR2–2) frequency band, a larger subcarrier spacing (SCS) is introduced than in the FR1 or FR2–1 frequency bands (e.g., 480 kHz, 960 kHz).

[0026] Furthermore, under the conventional specifications, due to the limitations of the terminal 20's processing power, the maximum number of PDCCH candidates and CCEs per slot decreases as the SCS increases.

[0027] Figure 3 illustrates the maximum number of PDCCH candidates per slot. Here, μ is a neurology representing the subcarrier interval, and for example, μ={0,1,2,3,4,5} corresponds to SCS={15kHz,30kHz,60kHz,120kHz,240kHz,480kHz}, respectively. As shown in Figure 3, under the conventional specifications, as μ increases from 0 to 3, i.e., as SCS increases from 15kHz to 120kHz, the maximum number of PDCCH candidates per slot per serving cell decreases from 44 to 20.

[0028] Figure 4 illustrates the maximum number of non-overlapping CCEs per slot. As shown in Figure 4, under conventional specifications, as μ increases from 0 to 3, i.e., as SCS increases from 15 kHz to 120 kHz, the maximum number of PDCCH candidates per slot per serving cell decreases from 56 to 32.

[0029] However, in the case of high SCS frequencies of 480kHz or 960kHz, if the maximum number of CCEs is too small, a high AL (Aggregation Level) cannot be secured. Therefore, as the operation of FR2-2 in NR Release 17, a multi-slot PDCCH monitoring function for 480kHz or 960kHz SCS is being considered.

[0030] The multi-slot PDCCH monitoring function defines the maximum number of PDCCH candidates and CCEs for each of the multiple slots. The multi-slot PDCCH monitoring function allows terminal 20 to perform PDCCH monitoring for each of the multiple slots, for example, in the case of a large SCS, to accommodate the shorter time duration of each slot.

[0031] Figure 5 illustrates the terminal capability of multi-slot PDCCH monitoring. Terminal 20 notifies base station 10 of terminal capability information indicating X and Y, where X is the number of slots included in a slot group. A slot group is a group of slots that define the maximum number of PDCCH candidates or CCEs. Therefore, the number of PDCCH candidates or CCEs is defined for each X slot. Y is the number of consecutive slots in a single slot group that contain PDCCH monitoring opportunities.

[0032] NR Release 17 stipulates that, as shown in Figure 5, it is a mandatory requirement to support the following X and Y combinations: (X,Y)=(4,1) for 480kHz SCS and (X,Y)=(8,1) for 960kHz SCS.

[0033] Furthermore, NR Release 17 has agreed to optionally support the following X and Y combinations: (X,Y)=(4,2) for 480kHz SCS, and (X,Y)=(8,4),(4,2),(4,1) for 960kHz SCS.

[0034] It is also possible that terminal 20 supports X and Y combinations other than those mentioned above.

[0035] Next, we will discuss the multi-PDSCH scheduling function. NR Release 17 is considering a multi-PDSCH scheduling function that allows scheduling multiple PDSCHs within a single DCI.

[0036] Figure 6 illustrates multi-PDSCH scheduling. Multi-PDSCH scheduling with a single DCI is supported on 480 / 960kHz SCS, and the flexibility of PDSCH scheduling is improved by considering multi-slot PDCCH monitoring on 480 / 960kHz SCS.

[0037] Specifically, for example, terminal 20, which supports (X,Y)=(8,1) as a terminal capability for multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, may schedule up to eight PDSCHs with a single DCI.

[0038] Figure 7 illustrates the terminal functions for 480 or 960 kHz SCS. Conventionally, the downlink terminal functions for 480 kHz SCS have been defined as (1) supporting the reception of DL data and control channels for 480 kHz SCS, SSB, and reference signals in FR2-2 for non-initial access, and (2) multi-slot PDCCH monitoring for X=4 slot 480 kHz SCS. Multi-PDSCH scheduling with a single DCI for operation using 480 kHz SCS and corresponding HARQ extensions is a subject for future consideration.

[0039] Furthermore, the downlink terminal functionality for 960kHz SCS is specified to (1) support the reception of DL data and control channels for 960kHz SCS, SSB, and reference signals in FR2-2 for non-initial access, and (2) multi-slot PDCCH monitoring for X=8 slot 960kHz SCS. Multi-PDSCH scheduling with a single DCI for operation using 960kHz SCS and corresponding HARQ extensions is a subject for future consideration.

[0040] (Previous problems) Traditionally, for multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, the terminal may support X=4 slots and / or X=1 slot (single slot) as optional values ​​for 960kHz SCS. Also, depending on the discussion, the terminal may support X=2 slots and / or X=1 slot (single slot) for 480kHz SCS.

[0041] Furthermore, if the terminal supports X=1 / 2 / 4 slots for multi-slot PDCCH monitoring functionality for 480 / 960kHz SCS as an optional value, it may not be necessary to support multi-PDCCH scheduling with a single DCI.

[0042] Figure 8 illustrates a case where multi-PDSCH scheduling does not need to be supported. For example, as shown in the lower two cases in Figure 8, when supporting (X,Y)=(2,1) or (X,Y)=(1,1) for a multi-slot PDCCH monitoring function for 480kHz SCS (i.e., in the case of single-slot PDCCH monitoring), scheduling flexibility can be ensured without supporting multi-PDSCH scheduling.

[0043] However, conventionally, there has been a problem in that the functionality of multi-PDSCH scheduling cannot be flexibly changed depending on the support status of multi-slot PDSCH monitoring.

[0044] (Summary of this embodiment) Therefore, this embodiment describes a provision that allows for flexible modification of the multi-PDSCH scheduling function depending on the support status of multi-slot PDCCH monitoring. Examples 1 and 2 are described below as specific implementation examples.

[0045] (Example 1) This embodiment describes a terminal that supports 480kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring.

[0046] If terminal 20 supports 480kHz SCS and supports X=4 slots in 480kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, it may support multi-PDSCH scheduling with a single DCI as a basic function.

[0047] Supporting 480kHz SCS may also mean supporting any of the following: • 480kHz SCS for receiving downlink signals • 480kHz SCS for uplink signal transmission • 480kHz SCS for SA (Stand Alone) and / or DC (Dual Connectivity) operation • The above combinations

[0048] Furthermore, the basic functions may be applied to specific scenarios, such as those shown in the following examples. • 480kHz SCS for receiving downlink signals • 480kHz SCS for SA and / or DC operation • 480kHz SCS for operation in licensed or unlicensed bandwidths • The above combinations

[0049] Alternatively, the basic functionality may apply to all scenarios for the 52.6–71GHz (FR2–2) frequency band for 480kHz SCS.

[0050] In other words, if terminal 20 supports X=1 and / or X=2 slots in addition to X=4 slots for 480kHz multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, it does not need to support multi-PDSCH scheduling by a single DCI as a basic function.

[0051] Furthermore, terminal 20 may report to base station 10 a terminal capability signaling that reports support for multi-PDSCH scheduling by one DCI of 480kHz SCS, as a terminal capability separate from the 480kHz support function for downlink reception.

[0052] Furthermore, terminal 20 that supports X=4 slots for multi-slot PDCCH monitoring but does not support X=1 and / or 2 slots may be required to support multi-PDSCH scheduling via a single DCI of 480kHz SCS as a terminal capability signaling.

[0053] The index for terminal functions that support 480kHz SCS for downlink reception is described as FG24-4. Alternatively, the index for terminal functions reporting the aforementioned terminal capabilities may be defined as, for example, 24-4x.

[0054] Furthermore, terminal 20 may report to base station 10, as a terminal capability separate from the 480kHz support capability for downlink reception, that it signals terminal capability to report support for X=1 slot (i.e., single-slot PDCCH monitoring function) and / or support for X=2 slot for 480kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring.

[0055] If terminal 20 supports X=1 slot for 480kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring (i.e., single-slot PDCCH monitoring function) and / or X=2 slots, it may be specified that support for multi-PDCCH scheduling functionality via a single DCI is not required.

[0056] The index for terminal functions that support 480kHz SCS for downlink reception is described as FG24-4. Alternatively, the index for terminal functions reporting the aforementioned terminal capabilities may be defined as, for example, 24-4x.

[0057] According to this embodiment, a terminal that supports 480kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring can be flexibly configured to support multi-PDSCH scheduling.

[0058] (Example 2) This embodiment describes a terminal that supports 960kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring.

[0059] If terminal 20 supports 960kHz SCS and supports X=8 slots in 960kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, it may support multi-PDSCH scheduling with a single DCI as a basic function.

[0060] Supporting 960kHz SCS may also mean supporting any of the following: • 960kHz SCS for receiving downlink signals • 960kHz SCS for uplink signal transmission 960kHz SCS for SA and / or DC operation • The above combinations

[0061] Furthermore, the basic functions may be applied to specific scenarios, such as those shown in the following examples. • 960kHz SCS for receiving downlink signals 960kHz SCS for SA and / or DC operation • 960kHz SCS for operation in licensed or unlicensed bandwidths • The above combinations

[0062] Alternatively, the basic functionality may apply to all scenarios for the 52.6–71 GHz (FR2–2) frequency band for 960 kHz SCS.

[0063] In other words, if terminal 20 supports X=1 and / or 4 slots in addition to X=8 slots for 960kHz multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, it does not need to support multi-PDSCH scheduling by a single DCI as a basic function.

[0064] Furthermore, terminal 20 may report to base station 10 a terminal capability signaling that reports support for multi-PDSCH scheduling by one DCI of 960kHz SCS, as a terminal capability separate from the 960kHz support function for downlink reception.

[0065] Furthermore, terminal 20 that supports X=8 slots for multi-slot PDCCH monitoring but does not support X=1 and / or 4 slots may be required to support multi-PDSCH scheduling via a single DCI of 960kHz SCS as a terminal capability signaling.

[0066] The index for terminal functions that support 960kHz SCS for downlink reception is described as FG24-5. Alternatively, the index for terminal functions reporting the above-mentioned terminal capabilities may be defined as, for example, 24-5x.

[0067] Furthermore, terminal 20 may report to base station 10, as a terminal capability separate from the 960kHz support capability for downlink reception, that it signals terminal capability to report support for X=1 slot (i.e., single-slot PDCCH monitoring function) and / or support for X=4 slots for 960kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring.

[0068] If terminal 20 supports X=1 slot for 960kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring (i.e., single-slot PDCCH monitoring function) and / or X=4 slots, it may be specified that support for multi-PDCCH scheduling functionality via a single DCI is not required.

[0069] The index for terminal functions that support 960kHz SCS for downlink reception is described as FG24-5. Alternatively, the index for terminal functions reporting the above-mentioned terminal capabilities may be defined as, for example, 24-5x.

[0070] According to this embodiment, a terminal that supports 960kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring can be flexibly configured to support multi-PDSCH scheduling.

[0071] In each of the embodiments described above, when the base station 10 receives terminal capability information, it may decide whether or not to assume a multi-slot PDCCH monitoring function for each terminal 20 based on the received terminal capability information, and transmit PDCCH.

[0072] The embodiments described above may be implemented in combination. In that case, terminal 20 may report different terminal functions for 480kHz SCS and 960kHz SCS. For example, in the case of 480kHz SCS, if terminal 20 supports X=1 and / or X=2 slots for multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, it may not be necessary to support multi-PDSCH scheduling with a single DCI. On the other hand, in the case of 960kHz SCS, if terminal 20 supports X=1 and / or X=4 slots for multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, it may be necessary to support multi-PDSCH scheduling with a single DCI.

[0073] In each of the embodiments described above, whether or not a terminal function is required may be set differently depending on the value of Y or a combination of X and Y values ​​(X,Y), in addition to or instead of the value of X. Y is the number of consecutive slots in a single slot group that include PDCCH monitoring opportunities. For example, if terminal 20 supports (X,Y)=(4,2) for 480kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, it does not need to support multi-PDCCH scheduling by a single DCI as a basic function.

[0074] Alternatively, terminal 20 that supports multi-slot PDCCH monitoring (X,Y)=(4,1) but does not support (X,Y)=(4,2) may be required to support multi-PDSCH scheduling via a single DCI of 480kHz SCS as a terminal capability signaling requirement.

[0075] Furthermore, for example, if terminal 20 supports (X,Y)=(8,4) for 960kHz SCS multi-slot PDCCH monitoring, it is not necessary to support multi-PDCCH scheduling with a single DCI as a basic function.

[0076] Alternatively, terminal 20 that supports multi-slot PDCCH monitoring (X,Y)=(8,1) and / or (X,Y)=(8,2) but does not support (X,Y)=(8,4) may be required to support multi-PDSCH scheduling via a single DCI of 960kHz SCS as a terminal capability signaling.

[0077] (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. The base station 10 and terminal 20 include functions to perform the embodiments described above. However, the base station 10 and terminal 20 may each be equipped with only one of the proposed functions from the embodiments.

[0078] <Base station 10> Figure 9 shows an example of the functional configuration of a base station. As shown in Figure 9, the base station 10 has a transmitting unit 110, a receiving unit 120, a setting unit 130, and a control unit 140.

The transmitting unit 110 also transmits setting information, etc., as described in the embodiment.

[0080] The setting unit 130 stores pre-configured setting information and various setting information to be transmitted to the terminal 20 in a storage device and reads it from the storage device as needed. The control unit 140 performs control of the entire base station 10, including control related to signal transmission and reception. The signal transmission function unit of the control unit 140 may be included in the transmission unit 110, and the signal reception function unit of the control unit 140 may be included in the reception unit 120. The transmission unit 110 and the reception unit 120 may also be called the transmitter and receiver, respectively.

[0081] <Terminal 20> Figure 10 shows an example of the functional configuration of a terminal. As shown in Figure 10, the terminal 20 has a transmitting unit 210, a receiving unit 220, a setting unit 230, and a control unit 240.

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. The transmitting unit 210 and the receiving unit 220 may be called the communication unit.

[0082] 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 obtains signals from higher layers from the received physical layer signals. The transmitting unit 210 also transmits a HARQ-ACK, and the receiving unit 220 receives the configuration information and the like as described in the embodiment.

[0083] The setting unit 230 stores various setting information received from the base station 10 by the receiving unit 220 in a storage device and reads it from the storage device as needed. The setting unit 230 also stores pre-set setting information. The control unit 240 controls the entire terminal 20, including control related to signal transmission and reception. The signal transmission function in the control unit 240 may be included in the transmission unit 210, and the signal reception function in the control unit 240 may be included in the reception unit 220. The transmission unit 210 and the reception unit 220 may also be called the transmitter and receiver, respectively.

[0084] The terminal or base station of this embodiment may be configured as one of the terminals or base stations described in the following sections. Furthermore, the following communication methods may be implemented.

These functional blocks (components) are realized by any combination of at least one of hardware and software. Furthermore, the method of realizing each functional block is not particularly limited. That is, each functional block may be realized using one device that is physically or logically coupled, or it may be realized using two or more physically or logically separated devices that are directly or indirectly connected (for example, using wired or wireless connections). A functional block may be realized by combining the one or more devices with software.

For example, a functional block (configuration part) that enables transmission is called a transmitting unit or transmitter. As mentioned above, the method of implementation is not particularly limited.

[0089] For example, the base station 10, terminal 20, etc. in one embodiment of the present disclosure may function as a computer that processes the wireless communication method of the present disclosure. Figure 11 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the base station 10 and terminal 20 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0110] (Supplement to the embodiment) While embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the disclosed invention is not limited to such embodiments, and those skilled in the art will understand various modifications, alterations, alternatives, substitutions, etc. Specific numerical examples have been used to facilitate understanding of the invention, but unless otherwise specified, these numerical values ​​are merely examples, and any appropriate values ​​may be used. The division of items in the above description is not essential to the present invention, and matters described in two or more items may be combined as needed, and matters described in one item may be applied to matters described in another item (as long as they do not contradict each other). 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.

[0111] Furthermore, the notification of information is not limited to the embodiments / models described herein and may be carried out by other methods. For example, the notification of information may be carried out by physical layer signaling (e.g., DCI (Downlink Control Information), UCI (Uplink Control Information)), upper layer signaling (e.g., RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling, MAC (Medium Access Control) signaling, broadcast information (MIB (Master Information Block), SIB (System Information Block))), other signals, or combinations thereof. Also, RRC signaling may be called RRC messages, and may be, for example, RRC Connection Setup messages, RRC Connection Reconfiguration messages, etc.

[0112] Each aspect / embodiment described in this disclosure includes LTE (Long Term Evolution), LTE-A (LTE-Advanced), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4G (4th generation mobile communication system), 5G (5th generation mobile communication system), 6th generation mobile communication system (6G), xth generation mobile communication system (xG) (xG (where x is, for example, an integer or decimal)), FRA (Future Radio Access), NR (new Radio), New radio access (NX), Future generation radio access (FX), W-CDMA (registered trademark), GSM (registered trademark), CDMA2000, UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), and IEEE This may apply to at least one system utilizing 802.20, UWB (Ultra-WideBand), Bluetooth®, or other appropriate systems, and to next-generation systems extended, modified, created, or defined based thereon. 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).

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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). Although the above example illustrates the case where there is one other network node besides the base station 10, the other network node may be a combination of multiple other network nodes (for example, an MME and an S-GW).

[0115] The information or signals described in this disclosure may be output from a higher layer (or lower layer) to a lower layer (or higher layer). They may also be input and output via multiple network nodes.

[0116] Input and output information may be stored in a specific location (e.g., memory) or managed using a management table. Input and output information may be overwritten, updated, or appended to. Output information may be deleted. Input information may be transmitted to other devices.

[0117] The determination in this disclosure may be made by a value represented by one bit (0 or 1), by a boolean value (true or false), or by a numerical comparison (for example, a comparison with a predetermined value).

[0118] Software should be broadly interpreted to mean instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, programs, subprograms, software modules, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects, executable files, execution threads, procedures, functions, and so on, whether they are called software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description languages, or by any other name.

[0119] Furthermore, software, instructions, information, etc., may be transmitted and received via a transmission medium. 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.

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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, at least one of the channel and symbol may be a signal (signaling). Also, a signal may be a message. Furthermore, a component carrier (CC) may be called a carrier frequency, cell, frequency carrier, etc.

[0122] The terms “system” and “network” as used in this disclosure are interchangeable.

[0123] Furthermore, the information, parameters, etc., described in this disclosure may be expressed using absolute values, relative values ​​from a given value, or other corresponding information. For example, wireless resources may be indicated by an index.

[0124] 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.

[0125] 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.

[0126] A base station can accommodate one or more (e.g., three) cells. If a base station accommodates 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.

[0127] In this disclosure, terms such as "Mobile Station (MS)," "user terminal," "User Equipment (UE)," and "terminal" may be used interchangeably.

[0128] 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.

[0129] 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 be a device mounted on a mobile body, the mobile body itself, etc. The mobile body may be a vehicle (e.g., a car, an airplane, etc.), an unmanned mobile body (e.g., a drone, an autonomous vehicle, etc.), or a robot (manned or unmanned). At least one of the base station and the mobile station may be a device that does not necessarily move during communication operation. 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.

[0130] 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)). 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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."

[0133] 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.

[0134] The reference signal can also be abbreviated as RS (Reference Signal), and may be called a pilot depending on the applicable standard.

[0135] 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."

[0136] 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.

[0137] In the configuration of each of the above devices, "means" may be replaced with "part," "circuit," "device," etc.

[0138] 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.

[0139] 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.

[0140] 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.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] 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.

[0144] 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.

[0145] 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.

[0146] 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.

[0147] 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.

[0148] 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.

[0149] 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.

[0150] 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.

[0151] 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.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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.

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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".

[0157] 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.

[0158] 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.

[0159] 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."
