Abstract

The present disclosure relates to: a method comprising: a step for receiving a synchronization signal/public broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block within a plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates located on an unlicensed band; and a step for obtaining time synchronization on the basis of the SS/PBCH block, wherein on the basis of subcarrier spacing (SCS) of the SS/PBCH block being set to 240 kHz, the plurality of SS/PBCH block candidates are located in both a first half section and a second half section of a time window set for transmission of the SS/PBCH block; and a device therefor.

Claims (37)

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

detecting a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block on a cell of shared spectrum;

obtaining quasi-co-located (QCL) information regarding a QCL relationship between SS/PBCH blocks on the cell;

obtaining position information regarding positions of the SS/PBCH blocks within a predetermined time window for the cell,

wherein the position information includes a first 8-bit bitmap related to a plurality of groups, each group including a plurality of SS/PBCH block indexes, and a second 8-bit bitmap related to the SS/PBCH block indexes in each group, and

wherein, based on a value of the QCL information being 32, m-th bit in the first 8-bit bitmap is set to zero for m being greater than 4.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time window includes 8 groups and each of the 8 groups includes 8 SS/PBCH block indexes.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detected SS/PBCH block is received through the cell of shared spectrum within a frequency range including 6 GHz frequency band.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined time window is a half frame.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring time synchronization with the cell, based on the detected SS/PBCH block.

6. A user equipment (UE) configured to receive a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

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

detecting a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block on a cell of shared spectrum;

obtaining quasi-co-located (QCL) information regarding a QCL relationship between SS/PBCH blocks on the cell;

obtaining position information regarding positions of the SS/PBCH blocks within a predetermined time window,

wherein the position information includes a first 8-bit bitmap related to a plurality of groups, each group including a plurality of SS/PBCH block indexes, and a second 8-bit bitmap related to the SS/PBCH block indexes in each group, and

wherein, based on a value of the QCL information being 32, m-th bit in the first bitmap is set to zero for m being greater than 4.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the predetermined time window includes 8 groups and each of the 8 groups includes 8 SS/PBCH block indexes.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the detected SS/PBCH block is received through the cell of shared spectrum within a frequency range including 6 GHz frequency band.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the predetermined time window is a half frame.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:

acquiring time synchronization with the cell, based on the detected SS/PBCH block.

11. A base station (BS) configured to transmit a downlink signal in a wireless communication system supporting an unlicensed band, the BS comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

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

transmitting, on a cell of shared spectrum, a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block including quasi-co-located (QCL) information regarding a QCL relationship between SS/PBCH blocks; and

transmitting position information regarding positions of the SS/PBCH blocks within a predetermined time window,

wherein the position information includes a first 8-bit bitmap related to a plurality of groups, each group including a plurality of SS/PBCH block indexes, and a second 8-bit bitmap related to the SS/PBCH block indexes in each group,

wherein the SS/PBCH block on the cell of shared spectrum is transmitted on a position indicated based on the first 8-bit bitmap and the second 8-bit bitmap, and

wherein, based on a value of the QCL information being 32, m-th bit in the first 8-bit bitmap is set to zero for m being greater than 4.

12. The BS of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined time window includes 8 groups and each of the 8 groups includes 8 SS/PBCH block indexes.

13. The BS of claim 11 , wherein the SS/PBCH block is transmitted through the cell of shared spectrum within a frequency range including 6 GHz frequency band.

14. The BS of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined time window is a half frame.
