Abstract

A method for supporting carrier aggregation and a short transmission time interval (sTTI) in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention is performed by a terminal, and may comprise a step of reporting the maximum number of component carriers supporting a combination of downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) sTTI lengths, in units of bands or band combinations.

Claims (34)

1. A method of supporting carrier aggregation (CA) and a short transmission time interval (sTTI) in a wireless communication system, performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

reporting capability information about a maximum number of component carriers (CCs) supporting a downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) sTTI length combination on a per-band combination basis; and

receiving scheduling information scheduled based on the capability information,

wherein the maximum number of CCs is provided for each of DL and UL.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a DL signal or transmitting a UL signal in a CC supporting at least one DL and UL sTTI length combination configured for the UE among the reported DL and UL sTTI length combinations.

3. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the capability information further comprises a processing time supported for each of the one or more reported DL and UL sTTI length combinations.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a CA configuration for fewer CCs than the maximum number of CCs.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the maximum number of CCs is reported independently for each of a CA case and a non-CA case.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information about an sTTI-based CC to be monitored by the UE from a network.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information about a numerology-based CC to be monitored by the UE from a network, when the UE is operating with a predetermined numerology.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the maximum number of CCs is based on a minimum or maximum processing time assumed for a predetermined sTTI-based operation.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the capability information further comprises a maximum number of layers for spatial multiplexing in DL, supported by the UE or a maximum number of layers for spatial multiplexing in UL, supported by the UE.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the UE is part of an autonomous driving device.

11. A user equipment (UE) for supporting carrier aggregation (CA) and a short transmission time interval (sTTI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiver and a transmitter; and

a processor configured to control the receiver and the transmitter,

wherein the processor is configured to:

report capability information about a maximum number of component carriers (CCs) supporting a downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) sTTI length combination on a per-band combination basis, and

receive scheduling information scheduled based on the capability information,

wherein the maximum number of CCs is provided for each of DL and UL.

12. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a DL signal or transmit a UL signal in a CC supporting at least one DL and UL sTTI length combination configured for the UE among the reported DL and UL sTTI length combinations.

13. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the capability information further comprises a processing time supported for each of the reported one or more DL and UL sTTI length combinations on a per-band basis or per-band combination basis.

14. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a CA configuration for fewer CCs than the maximum number of CCs.

15. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the maximum number of CCs is reported independently for each of a CA case and a non-CA case.

16. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to receive information about an sTTI-based CC to be monitored by the UE from a network.

17. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to receive information about a numerology-based CC to be monitored by the UE from a network, when the UE is operating with a predetermined numerology.

18. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the maximum number of CCs is based on a minimum or maximum processing time assumed for a predetermined sTTI-based operation.

19. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the capability information further comprises a maximum number of layers for spatial multiplexing in DL, supported by the UE or a maximum number of layers for spatial multiplexing in UL, supported by the UE.

20. The UE according to claim 11 , wherein the UE is part of an autonomous driving device.
