Abstract

The present embodiments provide a method for scheduling an uplink signal and a downlink data channel in an NR, wherein one embodiment is a method by which a terminal schedules an uplink signal and a downlink data channel, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, from a base station, an uplink signal and downlink data channel scheduling information; and scheduling the uplink signal and the downlink data channel on the basis of the scheduling information. Therein: the scheduling information comprises timing relationship setting information between a downlink control channel and a corresponding downlink data channel or uplink data channel, and timing relationship setting information of a downlink data channel and a corresponding uplink control channel; and the numerology of the downlink control channel and the numerology of the corresponding downlink data channel or uplink data channel are different, or, the numerology of the downlink data channel and the numerology of the corresponding uplink control channel are different.

Claims (58)

1. A method of a user equipment for scheduling an uplink (UL) signal or a downlink (DL) data channel, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, scheduling information on the UL signal and the DL data channel through a DL control channel; and

scheduling the UL signal and the DL data channel based on the scheduling information,

wherein the UL signal includes an UL data channel or an UL control channel,

wherein the scheduling information includes timing relationship configuration information between the DL control channel and the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel and timing relationship configuration information between the DL data channel and the UL control channel for the DL data channel,

wherein a numerology of a carrier for receiving the DL control channel is different from a numerology of the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel, or a numerology of a carrier for receiving the DL data channel is different from a numerology of the UL control channel for the DL data channel, and

wherein the timing relationship configuration information between the DL control channel and the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel includes timing gap information between the DL control channel and the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel, and when a slot index of the DL control channel is n, a value of a subcarrier spacing of the carrier for receiving the DL control channel is A kHz, a value of a subcarrier spacing of a carrier of the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel is B kHz, and a value of the timing gap information is k, a slot index of the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel is determined as

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the timing relationship configuration information between the DL control channel and the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel is configured based on a unit of a slot based on a numerology used for receiving the DL data channel, or based on a unit of a slot based on a numerology used for transmitting the UL data channel.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the timing relationship configuration information between the DL data channel and the UL control channel for the DL data channel is configured based on a unit of a slot based on the numerology of the UL control channel.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a carrier for receiving the DL control channel is different from a carrier for transmitting and receiving the UL signal or the DL data channel.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the scheduling information is included in DL control information (DCI) received through the DL control channel.

6. A method of a base station for scheduling an uplink (UL) signal or a downlink (DL) data channel, the method comprising:

configuring scheduling information for scheduling the UL signal and the DL data channel; and

transmitting, to a user equipment, the scheduling information on the UL signal and the DL data channel through a DL control channel,

wherein the UL signal includes an UL data channel or an UL control channel,

wherein the scheduling information includes timing relationship configuration information between the DL control channel and the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel and timing relationship configuration information between the DL data channel and the UL control channel for the DL data channel, wherein a numerology of a carrier for receiving the DL control channel is different from a numerology of the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel, or a numerology of a carrier for receiving the DL data channel is different from a numerology of the UL control channel for the DL data channel, and

wherein the timing relationship configuration information between the DL control channel and the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel includes timing gap information between the DL control channel and the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel, and when a slot index of the DL control channel is n, a value of a subcarrier spacing of the carrier for receiving the DL control channel is A kHz, a value of a subcarrier spacing of a carrier of the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel is B kHz, and a value of the timing gap information is k, a slot index of the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel is determined as

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the timing relationship configuration information between the DL control channel and the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel is configured based on a unit of a slot based on a numerology used for transmitting the DL data channel, or based on a unit of a slot based on a numerology used for receiving the UL data channel.

8. A user equipment for scheduling an uplink (UL) signal or a downlink (DL) data channel, the user equipment comprising:

a receiver configured to receive, from a base station, scheduling information on the UL signal and the DL data channel through a DL control channel; and

a controller configured to schedule the UL signal and the DL data channel based on the scheduling information,

wherein the UL signal includes an UL data channel or an UL control channel,

wherein the scheduling information includes timing relationship configuration information between the DL control channel and the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel and timing relationship configuration information between the DL data channel and the UL control channel for the DL data channel,

wherein a numerology of a carrier for receiving the DL control channel is different from a numerology of the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel, or a numerology of a carrier for receiving the DL data channel is different from a numerology of the UL control channel for the DL data channel, and

wherein the timing relationship configuration information between the DL control channel and the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel includes timing gap information between the DL control channel and the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel, and when a slot index of the DL control channel is n, a value of a subcarrier spacing of the carrier for receiving the DL control channel is A kHz, a value of a subcarrier spacing of a carrier of the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel is B kHz, and a value of the timing gap information is k, a slot index of the DL data channel or the UL data channel for the DL control channel is determined as
