Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and specifically, to: a method comprising a step in which first PDCCH monitoring is performed in a first SS set group within a cell group configured for an SS set group switching operation, and a step in which, from a 1 st slot coming at least P symbols after a reference time, the first PDCCH monitoring is stopped in the first SS set group and second PDCCH monitoring is started in a second SS set group for cells in the cell group, wherein the numerology of the P symbols is determined as a cell group-common value on the basis of the smallest SCS among a plurality of SCSs on the basis of the plurality of SCSs being configured for the cell group; and an apparatus for same.

Claims (24)

1. A method of performing communication by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

detecting a downlink control information (DCI) format that includes a search space (SS) set group switching flag value for a cell included in a cell group configured for an SS set group switching operation; and

starting physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring according to SS sets of a first SS set group and stopping PDCCH monitoring the first PDCCH in the SS sets of the first group and starting monitoring according to SS sets of a second SS set group, for cells in the cell group, at a first slot that is at least P symbols after a last symbol of a PDCCH carrying the DCI format,

wherein the P symbols is determined for the cell group based on a smallest subcarrier spacing (SCS) among a plurality of SCSs of configured bandwidth parts (BWPs) in the cell group.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a boundary of the first slot is determined based on the smallest SCS among the plurality of SCSs.

3. A user equipment (UE) used in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

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

detecting a downlink control information (DCI) format that includes a search space (SS) set group switching flag value for a cell included in a cell group configured for an SS set group switching operation; and

starting physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring according to SS sets of a first SS set group and stopping PDCCH monitoring the first PDCCH in the SS sets of the first group and starting monitoring according to SS sets of a second SS set group, for cells in the cell group, at a first slot that is at least P symbols after a last symbol of a PDCCH carrying the DCI format,

wherein the P symbols is determined for the cell group based on a smallest subcarrier spacing (SCS) among a plurality of SCSs of configured bandwidth parts (BWPs) in the cell group.

4. The UE of claim 3 ,

wherein a boundary of the first slot is determined based on the smallest SCS among the plurality of SCSs.

5. A base station (BS) used in a wireless communication system, comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

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

transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) format that includes a search space (SS) set group switching flag value for a cell included in a cell group configured for an SS set group switching operation; and

starting transmitting physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) according to SS sets of a first SS set group and stopping transmitting PDCCH according to SS sets of a second SS set group, for cells in the cell group, at a first slot that is at least P symbols after a last symbol of a PDCCH carrying the DCI format,

wherein the P symbols is determined for the cell group based on a smallest subcarrier spacing (SCS) among a plurality of SCSs of configured bandwidth parts (BWPs) in the cell group.

6. The BS of claim 5 ,

wherein a boundary of the first slot is determined based on the smallest SCS among the plurality of SCSs.
