Abstract

The disclosure relates to a communication scheme and system for convergence between an IoT technology and a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transfer rate beyond a 4G system. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (e.g. smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, and security and safety-related services), based on a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. In addition, the disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for reducing the power consumption of a terminal in a wireless communication system.

Claims (58)

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

receiving, from a base station, configuration information of a dormant bandwidth part (BWP) for a secondary cell (SCell); and

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI), wherein a frequency domain resource assignment field, a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) field, a new data indicator (NDI) field, a redundancy version (RV) field, a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number field, an antenna port field, and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) sequence initialization field are included in the DCI: and

considering the DCI as an indication of SCell dormancy, in case that a resource allocation type corresponds to type 1 and all bits of the frequency domain resource assignment field are equal to 1,

wherein a sequence of the MCS field, the NDI field, the RV field, the HARQ process number field, the antenna port field, and the DMRS sequence initialization field is interpreted as providing a bitmap to each configured SCell,

wherein a bit of the bitmap corresponds to an SCell, and

wherein a 0 value for the bit of the bitmap indicates the dormant BWP for the SCell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a carrier indicator field is further included in the DCI, and

wherein the DCI is considered as the indication of the SCell dormancy, in case that the carrier indicator field is equal to 0.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bit of the bitmap corresponds to the SCell, and

wherein a 1 value for the bit of the bitmap indicates a BWP other than the dormant BWP of the SCell.

6. A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

wherein a bit of the bitmap corresponds to an SCell, and

wherein a 0 value for the bit of the bitmap indicates the dormant BWP for the SCell.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a carrier indicator field is further included in the DCI, and

wherein the DCI is considered as the indication of the SCell dormancy, in case that the carrier indicator field is equal to 0.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the DCI is considered as the indication of the SCell dormancy, in case that the resource allocation type corresponds to type 0 and all bits of a frequency domain resource assignment field in the DCI are equal to 0, and
