Abstract

A method of transmitting and receiving downlink information in a wireless communication system supporting Internet of Things (IoT) and a device therefor are disclosed. The method performed by a user equipment (UE) comprises transmitting, to a base station, a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble, receiving, from the base station, a random access response including an uplink (UL) grant based on the PRACH preamble, transmitting, to the base station, a message 3 based on the UL grant, and receiving, from the base station, a message for contention resolution based on the message 3.

Claims (48)

1. A method of receiving, by a user equipment (UE), downlink information in a wireless communication system supporting Internet of Things (IoT), the method comprising:

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

receiving, from the base station, a random access response including an uplink (UL) grant based on the PRACH preamble;

transmitting, to the base station, a message 3 based on the random access response;

receiving, from the base station, a message for contention resolution based on the message 3;

receiving, from the base station, resource reservation configuration information including information for a slot level bitmap related to a reserved resource and information for a symbol level bitmap related to the reserved resource;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including resource reservation information;

determining, based on the resource reservation configuration information and the resource reservation information, a downlink resource,

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “0”, the reserved resource is included in the downlink resource, and

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “1”, the reserved resource is not included in the downlink resource; and

receiving, from the base station, the downlink information based on the downlink resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reserved resource is one or more symbols reserved based on the symbol level bitmap in a slot reserved based on the slot level bitmap.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the slot level bitmap is set in units of 10 milliseconds (ms) or 40 ms.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IoT includes machine type communication (MTC) and/or narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT).

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein based on that the IoT is the MTC, the resource reservation configuration information is configured per narrowband, and

wherein based on that the IoT is the NB-IoT, the resource reservation configuration information is configured per NB-IoT carrier.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource reservation configuration information is received via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink information is received via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and/or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

8. A user equipment (UE) configured to receive downlink information in a wireless communication system supporting Internet of Things (IoT), the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

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

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

receiving, from the base station, a random access response including an uplink (UL) grant based on the PRACH preamble;

transmitting, to the base station, a message 3 based on the random access response;

receiving, from the base station, a message for contention resolution based on the message 3;

receiving, from the base station, resource reservation configuration information including information for a slot level bitmap related to a reserved resource and information for a symbol level bitmap related to the reserved resource;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including resource reservation information;

determining, based on the resource reservation configuration information and the resource reservation information, a downlink resource,

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “0”, the reserved resource is included in the downlink resource, and

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “1”, the reserved resource is not included in the downlink resource; and

receiving, from the base station, the downlink information based on the downlink resource.

9. A method of transmitting, by a base station, downlink information in a wireless communication system supporting Internet of Things (IoT), the method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble;

transmitting, to the UE, a random access response including an uplink (UL) grant based on the PRACH preamble;

receiving, from the UE, a message 3 based on the random access response;

transmitting, to the UE, a message for contention resolution based on the message 3;

transmitting, to the UE, resource reservation configuration information including information for a slot level bitmap related to a reserved resource and information for a symbol level bitmap related to the reserved resource;

transmitting, to the UE, downlink control information (DCI) including resource reservation information,

wherein a downlink resource is determined based on the resource reservation configuration information and the resource reservation information,

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “0”, the reserved resource is included in the downlink resource, and

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “1”, the reserved resource is not included in the downlink resource; and

transmitting, to the UE, the downlink information based on the downlink resource.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the reserved resource is one or more symbols reserved based on the symbol level bitmap in a slot reserved based on the slot level bitmap.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the slot level bitmap is set in units of 10 milliseconds (ms) or 40 ms.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the IoT includes machine type communication (MTC) and/or narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT).

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein based on that the IoT is the MTC, the resource reservation configuration information is configured per narrowband, and

wherein based on that the IoT is the NB-IoT, the resource reservation configuration information is configured per NB-IoT carrier.
