Abstract

Disclosed in various embodiments are a method for transmitting/receiving a signal in a wireless communication system, and a device supporting same. More particularly, disclosed in various embodiments are a method for transmitting/receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) in an unlicensed band, and a device supporting same.

Claims (47)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB); and

obtaining, based on the SSB, a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH),

wherein the SSB is received in a candidate among a first plurality of candidates in a window,

wherein the first plurality of candidates are divided into a plurality of groups based on information related to a time length received through a radio resource control signal,

wherein an SSB index for a 1 st candidate among a second plurality of candidates included in each of the plurality of groups is 0,

wherein the time length is identical to or larger than each length of the plurality of groups in a time domain, and

wherein based on the SSB used for obtaining a radio resource management (RRM) measurement with a neighbor cell, the radio resource control signal is a system information block (SIB)4.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SSB index corresponds to a plurality of quasi co-location related candidates among the plurality of candidates.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the SSB used for obtaining a synchronization with a serving cell, the radio resource control signal is the PBCH.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the time length is indicated by a number of candidates included in the time length, and

wherein the number of candidates is selected from 1, 2, 4, 8.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of the first plurality of candidates and a number of bits included in the PBCH are determined based on a subcarrier spacing (SCS) for the plurality of candidates.

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

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the memory,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive a synchronization signal block (SSB); and

obtain, based on the SSB, a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH),

wherein the SSB is received in a candidate among a first plurality of candidates in a window,

wherein the first plurality of candidates are divided into a plurality of groups based on information related to a time length received through a radio resource control signal,

wherein an SSB index for a 1 st candidate among a second plurality of candidates included in each of the plurality of groups is 0,

wherein the time length is identical to or larger than each length of the plurality of groups in a time domain, and

wherein based on the SSB used for obtaining a radio resource management (RRM) measurement with a neighbor cell, the radio resource control signal is a system information block (SIB)4.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the SSB index corresponds to a plurality of quasi co-location related candidates among the plurality of candidates.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein based on the SSB used for obtaining a synchronization with a serving cell, the radio resource control signal is the PBCH.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the information related to the time length is indicated by a number of candidates included in the time length, and

wherein the number of candidates is selected from 1, 2, 4, 8.

10. A method performed by a base station (BS) operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

obtaining a synchronization signal block (SSB) comprising a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH); and

transmitting the SSB; and

wherein the SSB is transmitted in a candidate among a first plurality of candidates in a window,

wherein the first plurality of candidates are divided into a plurality of groups based on information related to a time length transmitted through a radio resource control signal,

wherein an SSB index for a 1 st candidate among a second plurality of candidates included in each of the plurality of groups is 0,

wherein the time length is identical to or larger than each length of the plurality of groups in a time domain, and

wherein based on the SSB used for obtaining a radio resource management (RRM) measurement with a neighbor cell, the radio resource control signal is a system information block (SIB)4.

11. A base station (BS) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the memory,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

obtain a synchronization signal block (SSB) comprising a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH); and

transmit the SSB; and

wherein the SSB is transmitted in a candidate among a first plurality of candidates in a window,

wherein the first plurality of candidates are divided into a plurality of groups based on information related to a time length transmitted through a radio resource control signal,

wherein an SSB index for a 1 st candidate among a second plurality of candidates included in each of the plurality of groups is 0,

wherein the time length is identical to or larger than each length of the plurality of groups in a time domain, and

wherein based on the SSB used for obtaining a radio resource management (RRM) measurement with a neighbor cell, the radio resource control signal is a system information block (SIB)4.
