Abstract

A method and apparatus for accessing a NR cell in a mobile communication system are provided. Method for accessing a NR cell includes receiving in a first cell, by a terminal from a base station, a System Information Block1 (SIB1), determining, by the terminal, if the first cell is barred and performing by the terminal, if the cell is not barred, random access procedure based at least in part on a second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList.

Claims (36)

1. A method performed by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a MIB (Master Information Block) and a SIB1 (System Information Block1) in a first cell;

monitoring a first RNTI (Radio Network Temporary Identity) in a specific search space; and

transmitting a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) based on a specific time domain allocation,

wherein the specific search space is determined based on a third searchSpaceZero in case that:

a first ra-SearchSpace is present in the SIB1; and

the first ra-SearchSpace indicates zero,

wherein the specific search space is determined based on a second searchSpaceZero in case that:

the first ra-SearchSpace is absent in the SIB1; and

a second ra-SearchSpace indicates zero,

wherein the specific time domain allocation is determined based on:

a first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList in case that the first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is present in the SIB1; and

a second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList in case that the first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is absent in the SIB1, and

wherein:

the SIB1 is received based on a first searchSpaceZero;

the first search SpaceZero is configured in the MIB; and

the second search SpaceZero and the third search SpaceZero are configured in the SIB1.

2. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to control the transceiver to:

receive in a first cell a MIB (Master Information Block) and a SIB1 (System Information Block1);

monitor a first RNTI (Radio Network Temporary Identity) in a specific search space; and

transmit a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) based on a specific time domain allocation,

wherein the specific search space is determined based on a third searchSpaceZero in case that:

a first ra-SearchSpace is present in the SIB1; and

the first ra-SearchSpace indicates zero,

wherein the specific search space is determined based on a second searchSpaceZero in case that:

the first ra-SearchSpace is absent in the SIB1; and

a second ra-SearchSpace indicates zero,

wherein the specific time domain allocation is determined based on:

a first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList in case that the first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is present in the SIB1; and

a second pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList in case that the first pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList is absent in the SIB1, and

wherein:

the SIB1 is received based on a first search SpaceZero;

the first search SpaceZero is configured in the MIB; and

the second searchSpaceZero and the third search SpaceZero are configured in the SIB1.
