Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, in particular, to a method and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: receiving uplink scheduling information from a base station; and repeatedly transmitting a PUSCH according to the uplink scheduling information, wherein, when repeated transmission of the PUSCH is performed in a PRACH transmission gap, the repeated transmission of the PUSCH in the PRACH transmission gap is at least partially dropped or delayed.

Claims (17)

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

receiving uplink scheduling information from a base station (BS); and

repeatedly transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the uplink scheduling information,

wherein based on the PUSCH being repeatedly transmitted in a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission gap, at least one resource unit (RU) or slot at the start of the repeated PUSCH transmissions within the PRACH transmission gap is dropped.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PRACH transmission gap is a time gap defined between repeated PRACH transmission periods allocated in a cell.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein based on the PUSCH being repeatedly transmitted in the PRACH transmission gap and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) being located in a first symbol of a slot during the repeated PUSCH transmissions, all of the repeated PUSCH transmissions within the PRACH transmission gap are dropped.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PRACH includes a narrowband PRACH (NPRACH), and the PUSCH includes a narrowband PUCCH (NPUCCH).

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication system includes a wireless communication system supporting narrowband Internet of things (NB-IoT).

6. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to receive uplink scheduling information from a base station (BS), and repeatedly transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the uplink scheduling information, and

wherein based on the PUSCH being repeatedly transmitted in a physical random access channel (PRACH) transmission gap, at least one resource unit (RU) or slot at the start of the repeated PUSCH transmissions within the PRACH transmission gap is dropped.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the PRACH transmission gap is a time gap defined between repeated PRACH transmission periods allocated in a cell.

8. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein based on the PUSCH being repeatedly transmitted in the PRACH transmission gap and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) being located in a first symbol of a slot during the repeated PUSCH transmissions, all of the repeated PUSCH transmissions within the PRACH transmission gap are dropped.

9. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the PRACH includes a narrowband PRACH (NPRACH), and the PUSCH includes a narrowband PUCCH (NPUCCH).

10. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the wireless communication system includes a wireless communication system supporting narrowband Internet of things (NB-IoT).
