Abstract

Disclosed is a method whereby a terminal carries out a random access channel (RACH) procedure in a wireless communication system. In particular, the method may comprise: receiving a first threshold related to channel quality for the transmission of message A including a physical random access channel (PRACH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); on the basis that the first threshold is satisfied, transmitting message A; and in response to message A, receiving message B including contention resolution information.

Claims (65)

1. A method for performing a random access channel (RACH) procedure by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), a first threshold related to a channel quality;

receiving, from the BS, both of a first parameter and a second parameter or receiving the second parameter without the first parameter,

wherein the first parameter is a configuration parameter used to indicate a transform precoding for a transmission of a payload on a message A physical uplink shared channel, PUSCH, for 2-step RACH procedure, and

wherein the second parameter is a configuration parameter used to indicate a transform precoding for a transmission of a payload on a message 3 PUSCH for 4-step RACH procedure;

based on the first threshold being satisfied, determining the RACH procedure to be the 2-step RACH procedure; and

transmitting a message A including a physical random access channel (PRACH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to the BS,

wherein, based on the first parameter being received, the first parameter is used to indicate to the UE the transform precoding for the transmission of the payload on the message A PUSCH in the 2-step RACH procedure, and

wherein, based on the first parameter not being received, the second parameter is used to indicate to the UE the transform precoding for the transmission of the payload on the message A PUSCH in the 2-step RACH procedure; and

based on the first threshold not being satisfied, determining the RACH procedure to be the 4-step RACH procedure and transmitting a message 1 including the PRACH to the BS.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the channel quality is measured based on a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP).

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein:

based on that a value of the RSRP is equal to or greater than the first threshold, the message A is transmitted to the base station (BS).

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a second threshold related to selection of a synchronization signal block (SSB),

wherein a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) value of a first synchronization signal block (SSB) selected by the user equipment (UE) for transmission of the message A is equal to or greater than the second threshold.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein:

the message A is transmitted based on a candidate beam corresponding to the first SSB.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a third threshold related to measurement of a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) associated with Quasi Co-Location (QCL),

wherein, based on that a value of a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of the CSI-RS is equal to or greater than the third threshold, the message A is transmitted according to a candidate beam corresponding to the CSI-RS.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the channel quality is measured through a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) or a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

8. A device configured to perform a random access channel (RACH) procedure in a wireless communication system comprising:

receiving a third threshold related to measurement of a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) associated with Quasi Co-Location (QCL),

wherein, based on that a value of a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) of the CSI-RS is equal to or greater than the third threshold, the message A is transmitted according to a candidate beam corresponding to the CSI-RS.

14. The device according to claim 8 , wherein:

the channel quality is measured through a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) or a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS).

15. A user equipment (UE) configured to perform a random access channel (RACH) procedure in a wireless communication system comprising:
