Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for scheduling a downlink data channel (PDSCH) or an uplink data channel (PUSCH). The method of a user equipment may be provided for scheduling a downlink data channel (PDSCH) or an uplink data channel (PUSCH) by a user equipment. The method may include: receiving, from a base station, timing relationship setting information on i) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and a downlink data channel or ii) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and an uplink data channel; and scheduling the downlink data channel (PDSCH) or the uplink data channel (PUSCH) based on the timing relationship setting information, wherein the downlink data channel (PDSCH) or the uplink data channel (PUSCH) is scheduled by a downlink control channel (PDCCH), and wherein a numerology used for reception of the downlink control channel (PDCCH) is different from a numerology used for reception of the downlink data channel (PDSCH) or a numerology used for transmission of the uplink data channel (PUSCH).

Claims (63)

1. A method for scheduling a downlink data channel (PDSCH) or an uplink data channel (PUSCH) by a user equipment, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, timing relationship setting information on at least one of i) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and a downlink data channel and ii) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and an uplink data channel; and

scheduling at least one of the downlink data channel (PDSCH) and the uplink data channel (PUKED based on the timing relationship setting information,

wherein the downlink data channel (PDSCH) or the uplink data channel (PUSCH) is scheduled by a downlink control channel (PDCCH),

wherein a numerology used for reception of the downlink control channel (PDCCH) is different from a numerology used for reception of the downlink data channel (PDSCH) or transmission of the uplink data channel (PUSCH), and

wherein the timing relationship setting information on at least one of i) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and a downlink data channel and ii) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and an uplink data channel includes timing gap information; and

for a slot index n of the downlink control channel, a subcarrier spacing value A kHz of the carrier on which the downlink control channel is received, a subcarrier spacing value B kHz, of a carrier of the downlink data channel or the uplink data channel for the downlink control channel, and the value k of the timing gap information, the slot index of the downlink data channel or the uplink data channel for the downlink control channel is determined as

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timing relationship setting information is configured in one of i) a unit of a slot based on a numerology used for reception of the downlink data channel and ii) a unit of a slot based on a numerology used for reception of the uplink data channel.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a component carrier used for reception of the downlink control channel is different from a component carrier used for reception of the downlink data channel and a component carrier used for transmission of the uplink data channel.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a carrier used for reception of the downlink control channel is the same as a carrier used for transmission of the uplink data channel.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink data channel is transmitted through a supplementary UL (SUL).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the timing relationship setting information is included in downlink control information (DCI) received through the downlink control channel.

7. A method for scheduling a downlink data channel (PDSCH) or an uplink data channel (PUSCH) by a base station, the method comprising:

configuring timing relationship setting information on at least one of i) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and a downlink data channel and ii) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and an uplink data channel; and

transmitting the timing relationship setting information to a user equipment,

wherein the downlink data channel (PDSCH) or the uplink data channel (PUSCH) is scheduled by a downlink control channel (PDCCH),

wherein a numerology used for transmission of the downlink control channel (PDCCH) is different from a numerology used for transmission of the downlink data channel (PDSCH) or a numerology used for reception of the uplink data channel (PUSCH), and

wherein the timing relationship setting information on at least one of i) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and a downlink data channel and ii) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and an uplink data channel includes timing gap information; and

for a slot index n of the downlink control channel, a subcarrier spacing value A kHz of the carrier on which the downlink control channel is received, a subcarrier spacing value B kHz, of a carrier of the downlink data channel or the uplink data channel for the downlink control channel, and the value k of the timing gap information, the slot index of the downlink data channel or the uplink data channel for the downlink control channel is determined as

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the timing relationship setting information is configured in one of i) a unit of a slot based on a numerology used for reception of the downlink data channel and ii) a unit of a slot based on a numerology used for reception of the uplink data channel.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein a component carrier used for transmission of the downlink control channel is different from a component carrier used for transmission of the downlink data channel or a component carrier used for reception of the uplink data channel.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein a carrier used for transmission of the downlink control channel is the same as a carrier used for reception of the uplink data channel.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the uplink data channel is transmitted through a supplementary UL (SUL).

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the timing relationship setting information is included in downlink control information (DCI) transmitted through the downlink control channel.

13. A user equipment for scheduling a downlink data channel (PDSCH) or an uplink data channel (PUSCH), the user equipment comprising:

a receiver configured to receive, from a base station, timing relationship setting information on at least one of i) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and a downlink data channel and ii) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and an uplink data channel; and

a controller configured to schedule one of the downlink data channel (PDSCH) and the uplink data channel (PUSCH) based on the timing relationship setting information,

wherein the downlink data channel (PDSCH) or the uplink data channel (PUSCH) is scheduled by a downlink control channel (PDCCH),

wherein a numerology used for reception of the downlink control channel (PDCCH) is different from a numerology used for reception of the downlink data channel (PDSCH) or a numerology used for transmission of the uplink data channel (PUSCH), and

wherein the timing relationship setting information on at least one of i) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and a downlink data channel and ii) a timing relationship between a downlink control channel and an uplink data channel includes timing gap information; and

for a slot index n of the downlink control channel, a subcarrier spacing value A kHz of the carrier on which the downlink control channel is received, a subcarrier spacing value B kHz, of a carrier of the downlink data channel or the uplink data channel for the downlink control channel, and the value k of the timing gap information, the slot index of the downlink data channel or the uplink data channel for the downlink control channel is determined as
