Abstract

A method of performing, by a device, a random access procedure in a radio communication system includes: receiving from a base station RACH configuration information; and transmitting a first message based on the received RACH configuration information. Herein, a plurality of SSBs may be in association with a plurality of preambles, and the first message may be transmitted in a time domain through a plurality of RACH resources.

Claims (35)

1. A method of performing a random access procedure, wherein a device performs a random access procedure in a radio communication system, the method comprising:

receiving random access channel (RACH) configuration information from a base station; and

transmitting message 1 including a preamble to the base station using one or more RACH resources indicated by the received RACH configuration information,

wherein a plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) are respectively in association with a plurality of preambles which are identical, and

wherein when a number of Tx beams and a number of Rx beams of the base station are identical, the message 1 in association with one SSB is transmitted in two consecutive RACH resources.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of SSBs are identified based on a position of each of the one or more RACH resources.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the number of Tx beams is larger than the number of Rx beams, the message 1 in association with a boundary Tx beam is transmitted in two consecutive RACH resources, and the message 1 in association with non-boundary Tx beam is transmitted in one RACH resource.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the number of Tx beams is smaller than the number of Rx beams, a beam sweeping timing of a boundary Rx beam and a beam sweeping timing of non-boundary Rx beam are differently set.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the random access procedure is applied to a frequency smaller than 6 GHz.

6. A method of performing a random access procedure, wherein a device performs a random access procedure in a radio communication system, the method comprising:

receiving random access channel (RACH) configuration information from a base station; and

transmitting message 1 including a plurality of preambles to the base station using one or more RACH resources indicated by the received RACH configuration information,

wherein a plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) are respectively in association with the plurality of preambles which are different, and

wherein when a number of Tx beams and a number of Rx beams of the base station are identical, the message 1 is transmitted in one RACH resource.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of SSBs are respectively identified based on the plurality of preambles.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein when the number of Tx beams is larger than the number of Rx beams, the message 1 of an SSB in association with a boundary Tx beam is transmitted in two consecutive RACH resources, and the message 1 of an SSB in association with non-boundary Tx beam is transmitted in one RACH resource.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein when the number of Tx beams is smaller than the number of Rx beams, the message 1 in association with an SSB monitored by a boundary Rx beam is transmitted in two consecutive RACH resources.

10. A method of performing a random access procedure, wherein a base station performs a random access procedure in a radio communication system, the method comprising:

determining information to be included in random access channel (RACH) configuration information in consideration of a synchronization signal block (SSB) and RACH resource association relation;

transmitting the RACH configuration information to a device; and

receiving from the device message 1 in one or more RACH resources indicated by the RACH configuration information,

wherein a plurality of SSBs are respectively in association with a plurality of preambles which are identical, and

wherein when a number of Tx beams and a number of Rx beams of the base station are identical, the message 1 in association with one SSB is transmitted in two consecutive RACH resources.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of SSBs are identified by respective positions of each of the one or more RACH resources.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein when the number of Tx beams is larger than the number of Rx beams, the message 1 of an SSB in association with a boundary Tx beam is transmitted in two consecutive RACH resources, and the message 1 of an SSB in association with non-boundary Tx beam is transmitted in one RACH resource.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein when the number of Tx beams is smaller than the number of Rx beams, a beam sweeping timing of a boundary Rx beam and a beam sweeping timing of non-boundary Rx beam are differently set.

14. A method of performing a random access procedure, wherein a base station performs a random access procedure in a radio communication system, the method comprising:

determining information to be included in random access channel (RACH) configuration information in consideration of a synchronization signal block (SSB) and RACH resource association relation;

transmitting the RACH configuration information to a device; and

receiving from the device a message 1 in one or more RACH resources indicated by the RACH configuration information,

wherein a plurality of SSBs are respectively in association with a plurality of preambles different from each other,

wherein when a number of Tx beams and a number of Rx beams of the base station are identical, the message 1 including the plurality of preambles is transmitted in one RACH resource.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the plurality of SSBs are respectively identified based on the plurality of preambles.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein when the number of Tx beams is larger than the number of Rx beams, the message 1 of an SSB in association with a boundary Tx beam is transmitted in two consecutive RACH resources, and the message 1 of an SSB in association with non-boundary Tx beam is transmitted in one RACH resource.

17. The method of claim 14 , wherein the number of Tx beams is smaller than the number of Rx beams, the message 1 in association with an SSB monitored by a boundary Rx beam is transmitted in two consecutive RACH resources.
