Abstract

The present disclosure relates to: a method comprising: a step for receiving a synchronization signal/public broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block within a plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates located on an unlicensed band; and a step for obtaining time synchronization on the basis of the SS/PBCH block, wherein on the basis of subcarrier spacing (SCS) of the SS/PBCH block being set to 240 kHz, the plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates are located in both a first half section and a second half section of a time window set for transmission of the SS/PBCH block; and a device therefor.

Claims (50)

1. A method of receiving downlink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the method comprising:

receiving information on a QCL relationship between SS/PBCH block candidates,

receiving information representing a position in which a SS/PBCH block is transmitted within a predetermined time duration,

wherein the information includes a first 8-bit bitmap representing groups in which each of the groups includes a plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates within the predetermined time duration and a second 8-bit bitmap representing the plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates included in each of the group,

receiving, through the unlicensed band, the SS/PBCH block in the position determined based on a combination of the first 8-bit bitmap and the second 8-bit bitmap,

wherein, based on that a value determined based on the information on the QCL relationship is 32, bits other than 4 leftmost bits in the first 8-bit bitmap is set to zero.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the predetermined time duration includes 8 groups and each of the groups includes 8 SS/PBCH block candidates.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the 4 leftmost bits in the first bitmap are valid.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the SS/PBCH block is received through the unlicensed band within a specific frequency range including 60 GHz frequency band.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the information on the QCL relationship is received through a higher layer signaling.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the predetermined time duration is a half frame.

7. A user equipment (UE) configured to receive a downlink signal in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the UE comprising:

at least one radio frequency (RF) unit;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving information on a QCL relationship between SS/PBCH block candidates,

receiving information representing a position in which a SS/PBCH block is transmitted within a predetermined time duration,

wherein the information includes a first 8-bit bitmap representing groups in which each of the groups includes a plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates within the predetermined time duration and a second 8-bit bitmap representing the plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates included in each of the group,

receiving, through the unlicensed band, the SS/PBCH block in the position determined based on a combination of the first 8-bit bitmap and the second 8-bit bitmap,

wherein, based on that a value determined based on the information on the QCL relationship is 32, bits other than 4 leftmost bits in the first 8-bit bitmap is set to zero.

8. The UE of claim 7 ,

wherein the predetermined time duration includes 8 groups and each of the groups includes 8 SS/PBCH block candidates.

9. The UE of claim 7 ,

wherein the 4 leftmost bits in the first bitmap are valid.

10. The UE of claim 7 ,

wherein the SS/PBCH block is received through the unlicensed band within a specific frequency range including 60 GHz frequency band.

11. The UE of claim 7 ,

wherein the information on the QCL relationship is received through a higher layer signaling.

12. The UE of claim 7 ,

wherein the predetermined time duration is a half frame.

13. A method of transmitting a downlink signal by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the method comprising:

transmitting information on a QCL relationship between SS/PBCH block candidates,

transmitting information representing a position in which a SS/PBCH block is transmitted within a predetermined time duration,

wherein the information includes a first 8-bit bitmap representing groups in which each of the groups includes a plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates within the predetermined time duration and a second 8-bit bitmap representing the plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates included in each of the group,

transmitting, through the unlicensed band, the SS/PBCH block in the position determined based on a combination of the first 8-bit bitmap and the second 8-bit bitmap,

wherein, based on that a value determined based on the information on the QCL relationship is 32, bits other than 4 leftmost bits in the first 8-bit bitmap is set to zero.

14. A base station (BS) configured to transmit a downlink signal in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the UE comprising:

at least one radio frequency (RF) unit;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

transmitting information on a QCL relationship between SS/PBCH block candidates,

transmitting information representing a position in which a SS/PBCH block is transmitted within a predetermined time duration,

wherein the information includes a first 8-bit bitmap representing groups in which each of the groups includes a plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates within the predetermined time duration and a second 8-bit bitmap representing the plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates included in each of the group,

transmitting, through the unlicensed band, the SS/PBCH block in the position determined based on a combination of the first 8-bit bitmap and the second 8-bit bitmap,

wherein, based on that a value determined based on the information on the QCL relationship is 32, bits other than 4 leftmost bits in the first 8-bit bitmap is set to zero.
