Abstract

The disclosure provides a communication method in a wireless system, the communication method including performing a channel access procedure in an unlicensed band, determining a processing time of a user equipment (UE), based on whether to apply a cyclic-extended signal, after completion of the channel access procedure, transmitting, via a downlink (DL) control channel, scheduling information about uplink (UL) transmission determined based on the processing time, and receiving, from the UE, a control channel or a data channel.

Claims (42)

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

performing a channel access procedure in an unlicensed band;

determining a processing time of a user equipment (UE), based on whether to apply a cyclic-extended signal, wherein the cyclic-extended signal is a signal of channel in which entirety or portion of a transmission initiation symbol is cyclic-extended;

after completion of the channel access procedure, transmitting, via a downlink (DL) control channel, scheduling information about uplink (UL) transmission determined based on the processing time; and

receiving, from the UE, a control channel or a data channel.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processing time of the UE comprises an additional processing time for generation of the cyclic-extended signal.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the additional processing time is determined based on at least one of a subcarrier spacing and a gap between an initiation time of the UL transmission and an end time of transmission or reception of a channel before the initiation time.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

determining whether to apply the cyclic-extended signal to the UL transmission by the UE,

wherein the determining of whether to apply the cyclic-extended signal comprises determining to apply the cyclic-extended signal when the gap is equal to or greater than 16 μs, is equal to or greater than 25 μs, is equal to or greater than 16 μs+timing advance (TA), or is equal to or greater than 25 μs+TA.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the additional processing time corresponds to a length of one symbol.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein DL control information transmitted via the DL control channel comprises initiation symbol information of the UL transmission and configuration information of the cyclic-extended signal.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the configuration information of the cyclic-extended signal further comprises at least one of information about whether to transmit the cyclic-extended signal in the UL transmission or length information of the cyclic-extended signal.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein, when a length value of the cyclic-extended signal is configured as 0 or the length value is not configured, the cyclic-extended signal is not transmitted.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the configuration information of the cyclic-extended signal comprises information for indicating whether to apply a processing time comprising an additional processing time for generation of the cyclic-extended signal or to apply a processing time not comprising the additional processing time for generation of the cyclic-extended signal.

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

receiving a downlink (DL) control channel;

obtaining scheduling information about transmission of an uplink (UL) and cyclic-extended signal transmission configuration information, based on DL control information received via the DL control channel, wherein the cyclic-extended signal is a signal of channel in which entirety or portion of a transmission initiation symbol is cyclic-extended; and

determining whether to transmit the scheduled UL, based on a reception time of the DL control channel, the cyclic-extended signal transmission configuration information, and the scheduling information.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein DL control information received via the DL control channel comprises initiation symbol information of the UL transmission and configuration information of the cyclic-extended signal.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the scheduling information about the transmission of the UL received by the UE is based on a processing time of the UE including an additional processing time for generation of a cyclic-extended signal determined by a base station.

13. A base station (BS) of a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

perform a channel access procedure in an unlicensed band,

determine a processing time of a user equipment (UE), based on whether to apply a cyclic-extended signal, wherein the cyclic-extended signal is a signal of channel in which entirety or portion of a transmission initiation symbol is cyclic-extended,

after completion of the channel access procedure, transmit, via a downlink (DL) control channel, scheduling information about uplink (UL) transmission determined based on the processing time, and receive, from the UE, a control channel or a data channel.

14. The BS of claim 13 ,

wherein the processing time of the UE comprises an additional processing time for generation of the cyclic-extended signal, and

wherein the additional processing time is determined based on at least one of a subcarrier spacing and a gap between an initiation time of the UL transmission and an end time of transmission or reception of a channel before the initiation time.

15. The BS of claim 13 , wherein DL control information transmitted via the DL control channel comprises:

initiation symbol information of the UL transmission; and

configuration information of the cyclic-extended signal.

16. The BS of claim 15 , wherein the configuration information of the cyclic-extended signal further comprises at least one of information about whether to transmit the cyclic-extended signal in the UL transmission or length information of the cyclic-extended signal.

17. A user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive a downlink (DL) control channel,

obtain scheduling information about transmission of an uplink (UL) and cyclic-extended signal transmission configuration information, based on DL control information received via the DL control channel, wherein the cyclic-extended signal is a signal of channel in which entirety or portion of a transmission initiation symbol is cyclic-extended, and

determine whether to transmit the scheduled UL, based on a reception time of the DL control channel, the cyclic-extended signal transmission configuration information, and the scheduling information.

18. The UE of claim 17 , wherein DL control information received via the DL control channel comprises initiation symbol information of the UL transmission and configuration information of the cyclic-extended signal.

19. The UE of claim 17 , wherein the scheduling information about the transmission of the UL received by the UE is based on a processing time of the UE including an additional processing time for generation of a cyclic-extended signal determined by a base station.
