Abstract

A method of performing channel estimation of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in a wireless communication system is disclosed. Specifically, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a base station, receiving system information (SI) from the base station based on the SSB, transmitting a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble to the base station, receiving a response to the PRACH preamble from the base station, transmitting UE capability information related to the channel estimation to the base station, receiving information for a PDCCH monitoring duration from the base station, and performing the channel estimation based on the information for the PDCCH monitoring duration. The UE capability information includes information for a maximum number of control channel elements (CCEs) that are capable of the channel estimation per PDCCH monitoring duration.

Claims (29)

1. A method of monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), non-overlapped control channel elements (CCEs) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a base station;

receiving system information (SI) from the base station based on the SSB;

transmitting a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble to the base station;

receiving a response to the PRACH preamble from the base station;

transmitting, to the base station, UE capability information for a maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs that the UE can monitor per monitoring span; and

monitoring non-overlapped CCEs based on the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs;

wherein the UE capability information includes information related to at least one interval between monitoring spans per a numerology, and

wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on the at least one interval between monitoring spans and the numerology.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a service type, quality of service (QOS), a service requirement, and/or a processing time.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) processing time and/or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) preparation time of the UE.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a transport block size, a number of layers, and/or a number of resource blocks of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a timing interval between a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is configured based on the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs.

6. A user equipment (UE) configured to monitor non-overlapped control channel elements (CCEs) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

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

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a base station;

receive system information (SI) from the base station based on the SSB;

transmit a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble to the base station;

receive a response to the PRACH preamble from the base station;

transmit, to the base station, UE capability information for a maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs that the UE can monitor per monitoring span; and

monitor non-overlapped CCEs based on the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs,

wherein the UE capability information includes information related to at least one interval between monitoring spans per a numerology, and

wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on the at least one interval between monitoring spans and the numerology.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a service type, quality of service (QOS), a service requirement, and/or a processing time.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) processing time and/or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) preparation time of the UE.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs is determined based on at least one of a transport block size, a number of layers, and/or a number of resource blocks of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein a timing interval between a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is configured based on the maximum number of non-overlapped CCEs.
