Abstract

Provided are a method for a terminal to transmit uplink data, and an apparatus therefor. The method may include: transmitting, to a base station, help information for transmitting uplink data using a pre-configured uplink resource; receiving, from the base station, configuration information for transmitting the uplink data using the pre-configured uplink resource; and transmitting the uplink data through the pre-configured uplink resource on the basis of the configuration information.

Claims (24)

1 . A method for transmitting uplink data by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, from the base station, configuration information for transmitting the uplink data using a preconfigured uplink resource;

transmitting the uplink data through the preconfigured uplink resource set based on the configuration information; and

upon failing to receive an acknowledge signal for the uplink data from the base station, retransmitting the uplink data,

wherein the preconfigured uplink resource is configured in configured grant type 1, and wherein the configuration information includes a retransmission timer for transmission of the uplink data.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes at least one of initial uplink bandwidth part information for transmission of the uplink data and a parameter for transmitting the uplink data using the preconfigured uplink resource, and the configuration information is received through an RRC release message.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when transmission or retransmission of the uplink data is performed according to the configuration information, the retransmission timer starts or restarts.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the retransmission of the uplink data is performed without an indication from the base station before the retransmission timer expires.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the retransmission of the uplink data is performed at an occasion of a next preconfigured uplink resource on a time axis.

6 . A method for controlling transmission of uplink data of a user equipment (UE) by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, configuration information for transmitting the uplink data using a preconfigured uplink resource;

receiving, from the UE, the uplink data through the preconfigured uplink resource set based on the configuration information; and

upon failing to receive the uplink data, receiving retransmission for the uplink data from the UE,

wherein the preconfigured uplink resource is configured in configured grant type 1, and wherein the configuration information includes a retransmission timer for transmission of the uplink data.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the configuration information includes at least one of initial uplink bandwidth part information for transmission of the uplink data and a parameter for transmitting the uplink data using the preconfigured uplink resource, and the configuration information is transmitted through an radio resource control (RRC) release message.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the retransmission of the uplink data by the UE is performed without an indication from the base station before the retransmission timer expires.

9 . A user equipment (UE) for transmitting uplink data, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive, from a base station, configuration information for transmitting uplink data using a preconfigured uplink resource; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the uplink data through the preconfigured uplink resource set based on the configuration information, wherein the transmitter retransmits the uplink data upon failing to receive an acknowledge signal for the uplink data from the base station,

wherein the preconfigured uplink resource is configured in configured grant type 1, and wherein the configuration information includes a retransmission timer for transmission of the uplink data.

10 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the configuration information includes at least one of initial uplink bandwidth part information for transmission of the uplink data and a parameter for transmitting the uplink data using the preconfigured uplink resource, and the configuration information is received through an RRC release message.

11 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein when transmission or retransmission of the uplink data is performed according to the configuration information, the retransmission timer starts or restarts.

12 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the retransmission of the uplink data is performed without an indication from the base station before the retransmission timer expires.

13 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the retransmission of the uplink data is performed at an occasion of a next preconfigured uplink resource on a time axis.
