Abstract

A method of monitoring a control signal in a wireless communication system, where the method is performed by a user equipment (UE) and includes: selecting at least one control resource set (CORESET) among a plurality of CORESETs based on an overlap between physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions in the plurality of CORESETs; and monitoring a PDCCH only in the selected at least one CORESET, among the plurality of CORESETs. The method also includes: based on the at least one CORESET including a first CORESET, and based on a first reference signal of the first CORESET and a second reference signal of a second CORESET being associated with a same synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB): monitoring the PDCCH in both the first CORESET and the second CORESET.

Claims (27)

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

transmitting a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB);

transmitting a first channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) for a first control resource set (CORESET);

transmitting a second CSI-RS for a second CORESET; and

i) based on an overlap between physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions of a user equipment (UE) in the first CORESET and the second CORESET and ii) based on the first CSI-RS for the first CORESET and the second CSI-RS for the second CORESET being related with the SSB:

transmitting a control signal, to be monitored in both the first CORESET and the second CORESET by the UE, through a PDCCH in at least one CORESET among the first CORESET and the second CORESET.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CORESET includes a common search space (CSS) with a lowest index among multiple CORESETs that have overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CORESET and the second CORESET are assumed to have same Quasi Co Location (QCL) properties.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the QCL properties are related to a spatial receive (Rx) parameter.

5. A base station (BS), the BS comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

transmitting a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB);

transmitting a first channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) for a first control resource set (CORESET);

transmitting a second CSI-RS for a second CORESET; and

i) based on an overlap between physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions of a user equipment (UE) in the first CORESET and the second CORESET and ii) based on the first CSI-RS for the first CORESET and the second CSI-RS for the second CORESET being related with the SSB:

transmitting a control signal, to be monitored in both the first CORESET and the second CORESET by the UE, through a PDCCH in at least one CORESET among the first CORESET and the second CORESET.

6. The BS of claim 5 , wherein the first CORESET includes a common search space (CSS) with a lowest index among multiple CORESETs that have overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions.

7. The BS of claim 5 , wherein the first CORESET and the second CORESET are assumed to have same Quasi Co Location (QCL) properties.

8. The BS of claim 7 , wherein the QCL properties are related to a spatial receive (Rx) parameter.

9. At least one processor that is configured to control a wireless communication device to perform operations comprising:

transmitting a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB);

transmitting a first channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) for a first control resource set (CORESET);

transmitting a second CSI-RS for a second CORESET; and

i) based on an overlap between physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions of a user equipment (UE) in the first CORESET and the second CORESET and ii) based on the first CSI-RS for the first CORESET and the second CSI-RS for the second CORESET being related with the SSB:

transmitting a control signal, to be monitored in both the first CORESET and the second CORESET by the UE, through a PDCCH in at least one CORESET among the first CORESET and the second CORESET.
