Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for a user equipment to receive system information in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method is characterized in detecting a first synchronization signal block configured with a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) and a Physical Broadcasting Channel (PBCH) at a specific frequency position, determining a presence or non-presence of system information corresponding to the first synchronization signal block within a first synchronization raster corresponding to a specific frequency position based on a system information indicator included in the PBCH, and if the system information corresponding to the first synchronization signal block is determined as not existing, determining a second synchronization raster having system information exist therein based on the system information indicator.

Claims (25)

1. A method for receiving remaining minimum system information (RMSI) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

detecting, at a specific frequency position for a first synchronization raster, a first synchronization signal block (SSB) including a Synchronization Signal (SS) and a Physical Broadcasting Channel (PBCH); and

receiving the RMSI based on information related to RMSI scheduling included in the PBCH,

wherein, based on RMSI related to the first SSB not being present, the RMSI is received based on a relative position between the first synchronization raster and a second synchronization raster, wherein the relative position is related to a second SSB having the RMSI, and

wherein the relative position is obtained based on the information related to the RMSI scheduling.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a frequency range in which the RMSI is not present is obtained based on a value included in the information related to the RMSI scheduling, and

wherein the frequency range in which the RMSI is not present includes the first synchronization raster.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a position of the second synchronization raster is not obtained in a state in which the frequency range is obtained based on the value included in the information related to the RMSI scheduling.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a third SSB not having the RMSI is received at a frequency position not included in the first synchronization raster and the second synchronization raster.

5. A device configured to receive remaining minimum system information (RMSI) in a wireless communication system, the device comprising:

a memory; and

a processor connected with the memory,

wherein the processor is configured to control to:

detect, at a specific frequency position for a first synchronization raster, a first synchronization signal block (SSB) including a Synchronization Signal (SS) and a Physical Broadcasting Channel (PBCH), and

receive the RMSI based on information related to RMSI scheduling included in the PBCH,

wherein, based on RMSI related to the first SSB not being present, the RMSI is received based on a relative position between the first synchronization raster and a second synchronization raster, wherein the relative position is related to a second SSB having the RMSI, and

wherein the relative position is obtained based on the information related to the RMSI scheduling.

6. The device of claim 5 , wherein a frequency range in which the RMSI is not present is obtained based on a value included in the information related to the RMSI scheduling, and

wherein the frequency range in which the RMSI is not present includes the first synchronization raster.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein a position of the second synchronization raster is not obtained in a state in which the frequency range is obtained based on the value included in the information related to the RMSI scheduling.

8. The device of claim 5 , wherein a third SSB not having the RMSI is received at a frequency position not included in the first synchronization raster and the second synchronization raster.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the RMSI related to the first SSB not being present, determining a frequency position of the second SSB based on the relative position, wherein the relative position indicates the frequency position of the second SSB relative to the specific frequency position of the first SSB.

10. The device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to control to:

based on the RMSI related to the first SSB not being present, determine a frequency position of the second SSB based on the relative position, wherein the relative position indicates the frequency position of the second SSB relative to the specific frequency position of the first SSB.
