Abstract

Disclosed are a method for transmitting/receiving data in a wireless communication system supporting NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT) and a device therefor. Specifically, a method for receiving data by a terminal may include: receiving, from a base station, Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) configuration information for SPS; receiving, from the base station, an SPS control channel for delivering control information representing activation of the SPS; and receiving, from the base station, SPS data channels in specific subframes scheduled according to the SPS configuration information, in which search spaces related to the remaining SPS data channels other than a first SPS data channel among the received SPS data channels may be configured not to be monitored by the UE.

Claims (43)

1. A method of transmitting and receiving, by a user equipment (UE), data in a wireless communication system supporting NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT), the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) configuration information for SPS;

receiving, from the base station, an SPS control channel for delivering control information representing activation of the SPS; and

receiving, from the base station, SPS data channels in specific subframes scheduled according to the SPS configuration information,

wherein search spaces related to the remaining SPS data channels other than a first SPS data channel among the received SPS data channels are configured not to be monitored by the UE.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the search space is located within a specific period configured based on at least one of a start subframe, SPS interval information, or a PDCCH period of each SPS data channel.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the search space corresponds to a search space located within a PDCCH period to which each SPS channel belongs.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the search space is configured to be user equipment-specific.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the control information representing the activation of the SPS includes an SPS indication field configured by 1 bit indicating the activation or deactivation of the SPS.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE supports a single Hybrid Automatic Repeat and request (HARQ) process.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, a specific control channel for carrying control information indicating retransmission of the SPS; and

receiving a specific data channel scheduled by the specific control channel,

wherein a resource region allocated to the specific control channel and a resource region allocated to the specific data channel do not overlap with the search space.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein a size of the control information representing the retransmission of the SPS is configured to be smaller than the size of the control information representing the activation of the SPS.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein a value of a New Data Indication (NDI) field included in the control information representing the retransmission of the SPS is configured opposite to the value of the NDI field included in the control information representing the activation of the SPS.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, a specific signal indicating whether to monitor the search space,

wherein the specific signal is transmitted when the SPS is activated.

11. A user equipment (UE) configured to receive data in a wireless communication system supporting NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT), the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor functionally connected to the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to

receive, from a base station, Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) configuration information for SPS,

receive, from the base station, an SPS control channel for delivering control information representing activation of the SPS, and

receive, from the base station, SPS data channels in specific subframes scheduled according to the SPS configuration information, and

wherein search spaces related to the remaining SPS data channels other than a first SPS data channel among the received SPS data channels are configured not to be monitored by the UE.

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the search space is located within a specific period configured based on at least one of a start subframe, SPS interval information, or a PDCCH period of each SPS data channel.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the search space corresponds to a search space located within a PDCCH period to which each SPS channel belongs.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the search space is configured to be user equipment-specific.

15. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the control information representing the activation of the SPS includes an SPS indication field configured by 1 bit indicating the activation or deactivation of the SPS.

16. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the UE is configured to support a single Hybrid Automatic Repeat and request (HARQ) process.

17. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive, from the base station, a specific control channel for carrying control information indicating retransmission of the SPS; and

receive a specific data channel scheduled by the specific control channel,

wherein a resource region allocated to the specific control channel and a resource region allocated to the specific data channel do not overlap with the search space.

18. The UE of claim 17 , wherein a size of the control information representing the retransmission of the SPS is configured to be smaller than the size of the control information representing the activation of the SPS.

19. The UE of claim 17 , wherein a value of a New Data Indication (NDI) field included in the control information representing the retransmission of the SPS is configured opposite to the value of the NDI field included in the control information representing the activation of the SPS.

20. At least one computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, based on being executed by at least one processor, control a user equipment (UE) to perform operations in a wireless communication system supporting NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT), the operations comprising:

receiving, from a base station, Semi-Persistent Scheduling (SPS) configuration information for SPS;

receiving, from the base station, an SPS control channel for delivering control information representing activation of the SPS; and

receiving, from the base station, SPS data channels in specific subframes scheduled according to the SPS configuration information,

wherein search spaces related to the remaining SPS data channels other than a first SPS data channel among the received SPS data channels are configured not to be monitored by the UE.
