Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for a terminal to receive a synchronization signal in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method includes the steps of receiving a synchronization block including a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcasting channel (PBCH) and receiving a DMRS (demodulation reference signal) via resource region in which the PBCH is received. In this case, an index of the synchronization block can be determined in consideration of a sequence of the DMRS.

Claims (19)

1. A method of receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving the SSB and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for a physical broadcasting channel (PBCH),

wherein the SSB includes a synchronization signal (SS) and the PBCH; and

wherein a sequence of the DMRS and a scrambling sequence of the PBCH are generated based on same bits for an index of the SSB.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein 3 bits among 6 bits for the index of the SSB are obtained based on the DMRS and remaining 3 bits are obtained based on a payload of the PBCH.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of the same bits is based on a frequency band in which the UE operates.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the index of the SSB is related to one DMRS index.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sequence of the DMRS is generated based on a cell identifier for identifying a cell.

6. A communication device for receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) in a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising:

a memory; and

a processor connected with the memory;

wherein the processor is configured to control to:

receive the SSB and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for a physical broadcasting channel (PBCH),

wherein the SSB includes a synchronization signal (SS) and the PBCH; and

wherein a sequence of the DMRS and a scrambling sequence of the PBCH are generated based on same bits for an index of the SSB.

7. The communication device of claim 6 , wherein 3 bits among 6 bits for the index of the SSB are obtained based on the DMRS and remaining 3 bits are obtained based on a payload of the PBCH.

8. The communication device of claim 6 , wherein a number of the same bits is based on a frequency band in which the UE operates.

9. The communication device of claim 6 , wherein the index of the SSB is related to one DMRS index.

10. The communication device of claim 6 , wherein the sequence of the DMRS is generated based on a cell identifier for identifying a cell.
