Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for transmitting or receiving a downlink control channel in a next generation/5G wireless access network. The method includes receiving configuration information relating to a common search space (CSS) from a base station and receiving, through the common search space, a downlink control channel including information for scheduling remaining minimum system information (RMSI), wherein the configuration information is included in a master information block (MIB) received through a physical broadcast channel and is received from the base station.

Claims (30)

1. A method of a user equipment for monitoring a downlink (DL) control channel, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information for a common search space (CSS); and

monitoring the DL control channel based on the configuration information for the CSS,

wherein the DL control channel is for scheduling remaining minimum system information (RMSI),

wherein the configuration information for the CSS is received in a master information block (MIB) through a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), and

wherein the configuration information for the CSS in the MIB includes i) time resource allocation information and frequency resource allocation information, and ii) first subcarrier spacing (SCS) information and second SCS information,

wherein a slot length of the first SCS information is four times greater than a slot length of the second SCS information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first SCS information is for a first bandwidth part, and the second SCS information is for the second bandwidth part.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency resource allocation information relates to consecutive physical resource blocks (PRBs).

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first SCS information corresponds to 15 kHz, and the second SCS information corresponds to 60 kHz.

5. A method of a base station for transmitting a downlink (DL) control channel, the method comprising:

configuring configuration information for a common search space (CSS);

transmitting the configuration information to a user equipment; and

transmitting the DL control channel based on the configuration information for the CSS,

wherein the DL control channel is for scheduling remaining minimum system information (RMSI),

wherein the configuration information for the CSS is transmitted in a master information block (MIB) through a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), and

wherein the configuration information for the CSS in the MIB includes i) time resource allocation information and frequency resource allocation information, and ii) first subcarrier spacing (SCS) information and second SCS information,

wherein a slot length of the first SCS information is four times greater than a slot length of the second SCS information.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the first SCS information is for a first bandwidth part, and the second SCS information is for the second bandwidth part.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the frequency resource allocation information relates to consecutive physical resource blocks (PRBs).

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the first SCS information corresponds to 15 kHz, and the second SCS information corresponds to 60 kHz.

9. A user equipment for monitoring a downlink (DL) control channel comprising:

a receiver configured to receive, from a base station, configuration information for a common search space, and monitor the DL control channel based on the configuration information for the CSS,

wherein the DL control channel is for scheduling remaining minimum system information (RMSI),

wherein the configuration information for the CSS is received in a master information block (MIB) through a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), and

wherein the configuration information for the CSS in the MIB includes i) time resource allocation information and frequency resource allocation information, and ii) first subcarrier spacing (SCS) information and second SCS information,

wherein a slot length of the first SCS information is four times greater than a slot length of the second SCS information.

10. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the first SCS information is for a first bandwidth part, and the second SCS information is for the second bandwidth part.

11. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the frequency resource allocation information relates to consecutive physical resource blocks (PRBs).

12. The user equipment according to claim 9 , wherein the first SCS information corresponds to 15 kHz, and the second SCS information corresponds to 60 kHz.
