Abstract

A method for receiving a broadcasting signal in a wireless communication system. The method comprises receiving, from a base station (BS), a physical broadcasting channel (PBCH) content over a PBCH, and determining the PBCH content including a payload, wherein the payload includes uncommon information within a transmission time interval (TTI) of the PBCH that comprises at least a portion of a 10-bit system frame number (SFN), a half frame index within a radio frame, and at least part of a synchronization signal (SS) block time index.

Claims (48)

1. A base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

generate most significant bits (MSBs) of a system frame number (SFN) and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) configuration for system information on a first payload of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH),

generate least significant bits (LSBs) of the SFN and a half frame index on a second payload of the PBCH, and

transmit a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and the PBCH,

wherein one cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is defined based on both the first payload and the second payload.

2. The base station of claim 1 , wherein one demodulation reference signal is used for both the first payload and the second payload.

3. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH belong to a synchronization signal (SS) block, and

wherein an index for the SS block is further included in the second payload on the PBCH.

4. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the system information is a system information block 1.

5. The base station of claim 1 , wherein the first payload, the second payload, and the CRC are sequentially concatenated, and

wherein the concatenated the first payload, the second payload, and the CRC are decoded based on a polar code.

6. A method by a base station, the method comprising:

generating most significant bits (MSBs) of a system frame number (SFN) and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) configuration for system information on a first payload of a physical broadcast channel (PBCH);

generating least significant bits (LSBs) of the SFN and a half frame index on a second payload of the PBCH; and

transmitting a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and the PBCH,

wherein one cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is defined based on both the first payload and the second payload.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein one demodulation reference signal is used for both the first payload and the second payload.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH belong to a synchronization signal (SS) block, and

wherein an index for the SS block is further included in the second payload on the PBCH.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the system information is a system information block 1.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first payload, the second payload, and the CRC are sequentially concatenated, and

wherein the concatenated the first payload, the second payload, and the CRC are decoded based on a polar code.

11. A terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH),

identify most significant bits (MSBs) of a system frame number (SFN) and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) configuration for system information on a first payload of the PBCH; and

identifying least significant bits (LSBs) of the SFN and a half frame index on a second payload of the PBCH,

wherein one cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is defined based on both the first payload and the second payload.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein one demodulation reference signal is used for both the first payload and the second payload.

13. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH belong to a synchronization signal (SS) block, and

wherein an index for the SS block is further included in the second payload on the PBCH.

14. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the system information is a system information block 1.

15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the first payload, the second payload, and the CRC are sequentially concatenated, and

wherein the concatenated the first payload, the second payload, and the CRC are decoded based on a polar code.

16. A method by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH);

identifying most significant bits (MSBs) of a system frame number (SFN) and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) configuration for system information on a first payload of the PBCH; and

identifying least significant bits (LSBs) of the SFN and a half frame index on a second payload of the PBCH,

wherein one cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is defined based on both the first payload and the second payload.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein one demodulation reference signal is used for both the first payload and the second payload.

18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the PSS, the SSS, and the PBCH belong to a synchronization signal (SS) block, and

wherein an index for the SS block is further included in the second payload on the PBCH.

19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the system information is a system information block 1.

20. The method of claim 16 , wherein the first payload, the second payload, and the CRC are sequentially concatenated, and

wherein the concatenated the first payload, the second payload, and the CRC are decoded based on a polar code.
