Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method of transmitting a Physical Broadcasting Channel (PBCH) by a base station in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method may include generating a PBCH payload including bits indicating a frame in which the PBCH is transmitted; scrambling at least some of the bits included in the PBCH payload using second and third least significant bits among the bits; and transmitting the bits of the PBCH payload including the at least some scrambled bits to a user equipment.

Claims (70)

1. A method of receiving a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving i) a synchronization signal/PBCH block (SS/PBCH block) including the PBCH and ii) a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the PBCH; and

obtaining a bit sequence of a PBCH payload, based on the PBCH,

wherein a second bit sequence is obtained based on a first bit sequence and a second scrambling sequence, wherein the second scrambling sequence and the DMRS are based on same bits of an index of the SS/PBCH block,

wherein the first bit sequence is obtained based on the bit sequence of the PBCH payload and a first scrambling sequence, and

wherein the first scrambling sequence is based on 2 nd and 3 rd least significant bits of a system frame number (SFN) for a frame in which the PBCH is present.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first and second scrambling sequences are further based on an identifier of a cell on which the SS/PBCH block is received.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the bit sequence of the PBCH payload includes the 2 nd and the 3 rd least significant bits of the SFN.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the second bit sequence is obtained based on an encoded bit sequence, and

wherein the encoded bit sequence is produced based on channel coding for the first bit sequence.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the UE assumes that the second bit sequence is quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulated into complex-valued symbols constituting the PBCH.

6. A method of receiving a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving i) a synchronization signal/PBCH block (SS/PBCH block) including the PBCH and ii) a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the PBCH; and

obtaining a bit sequence of a PBCH payload, based on the PBCH,

wherein obtaining the bit sequence of the PBCH payload comprises:

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein obtaining the second bit sequence from the PBCH comprises:

obtaining the second bit sequence from complex-valued symbols constituting the PBCH based on quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation.

11. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and
