Abstract

User equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention may obtain a configuration of a reference signal for an RRC idle mode or an RRC inactive mode, determine the availability of the configured reference signal, and receive the reference signal in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode.

Claims (58)

1. A method for receiving a signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

acquiring, through higher layer signaling, a configuration for a tracking reference signal (TRS) for a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode or an RRC inactive mode;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) carried by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on a paging-radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI), in the RRC idle mode or in the RRC inactive mode;

and

receiving the TRS in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode based on availability indication information of the TRS included in the DCI and the acquired configuration for the TRS,

wherein the configuration for the TRS includes a periodicity and a slot offset of the TRS,

wherein the configuration includes information for a plurality of TRS resource sets each having a plurality of TRS resources,

wherein each of the plurality of TRS resource sets is allocated with an identifier (ID) to be used for the availability indication information,

wherein, for the plurality of TRS resource sets, the availability indication information indicates availability per each ID, and

wherein the availability indication information includes a plurality of bits associated with a plurality IDs of the plurality of TRS resource sets.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the terminal obtains, based on the configuration for the TRS and the availability indication information of the TRS, information regarding a specific time duration in which the TRS can be configured.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the availability of the TRS is indicated for a specific time duration.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein an end of the specific time duration is related to a position of a paging occasion (PO) of the DCI.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration for the TRS is acquired through a system information block (SIB).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration for the TRS is acquired in an RRC connected mode,

wherein the terminal receives the TRS in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode by maintaining the acquired configuration for the TRS even when the terminal enters the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI indicates the availability of the TRS by a short message field configured based on 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP).

8. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program for carrying out the method of claim 1 .

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bits are configured to indicate the availability per each ID.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the availability indication information is configured to represent availability of a corresponding TRS resource set and an ID of the corresponding TRS resource set.

11. A device for wireless communication, the device comprising:

a memory storing instructions;

a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations,

wherein the operations of the processor comprise:

acquiring, through higher layer signaling, a configuration for a tracking reference signal (TRS) for a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode or an RRC inactive mode;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) carried by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on a paging-radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI), in the RRC idle mode or in the RRC inactive mode; and

receiving the TRS in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode based on availability indication information of the TRS included in the DCI and the acquired configuration for the TRS,

wherein the configuration for the TRS includes a periodicity and a slot offset of the TRS,

wherein the configuration includes information for a plurality of TRS resource sets each having a plurality of TRS resources,

wherein each of the plurality of TRS resource sets is allocated with an identifier (ID) to be used for the availability indication information,

wherein, for the plurality of TRS resource sets, the availability indication information indicates availability per each ID, and

wherein the availability indication information includes a plurality of bits associated with a plurality IDs of the plurality of TRS resource sets.

12. The device of claim 11 , further comprising:

a transceiver,

wherein the device is a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system.

13. A method for transmitting a signal by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, through higher layer signaling, a configuration for a tracking reference signal (TRS) for a terminal in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode or an RRC inactive mode;

generating downlink control information (DCI) including availability indication information of the TRS;

transmitting, to the terminal in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode based on a paging-radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI), a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including the DCI; and

transmitting the TRS to the terminal in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode, based on the availability indication information of the TRS and the configuration for the TRS,

wherein the configuration for the TRS includes a periodicity and a slot offset of the TRS,

wherein the configuration includes information for a plurality of TRS resource sets each having a plurality of TRS resources,

wherein each of the plurality of TRS resource sets is allocated with an identifier (ID) to be used for the availability indication information,

wherein, for the plurality of TRS resource sets, the availability indication information indicates availability per each ID, and

wherein the availability indication information includes a plurality of bits associated with a plurality IDs of the plurality of TRS resource sets.

14. A base station for transmitting a signal in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to control the transceiver to:

transmit, through higher layer signaling, a configuration for a tracking reference signal (TRS) for a terminal in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode or an RRC inactive mode;

generate downlink control information (DCI) including availability indication information of the TRS;

transmit, to the terminal in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode based on a paging-radio network temporary identifier (P-RNTI), a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including the DCI; and

transmit the TRS to the terminal in the RRC idle mode or the RRC inactive mode, based on the availability indication information of the TRS and the configuration for the TRS,

wherein the configuration for the TRS includes a periodicity and a slot offset of the TRS,

wherein the configuration includes information for a plurality of TRS resource sets each having a plurality of TRS resources,

wherein each of the plurality of TRS resource sets is allocated with an identifier (ID) to be used for the availability indication information,

wherein, for the plurality of TRS resource sets, the availability indication information indicates availability per each ID and

wherein the availability indication information includes a plurality of bits associated with a plurality IDs of the plurality of TRS resource sets.
