Abstract

A communication method and system for converging a 5 th -generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of things (IoT) are provided. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure provides a method of a terminal, including receiving random access resource configuration information and quasi co-location (QCL) information from a base station, measuring a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), identifying a random access resource based on the CSI-RS, the QCL information and the random access resource configuration information, and transmitting a random access preamble based on the random access resource.

Claims (56)

1. A method of a terminal, the method comprising:

obtaining, by the terminal, random access resource configuration information and quasi co-location (QCL) information from a base station, the random access resource configuration information including information on a synchronization signal (SS) and information on a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);

measuring, by the terminal, a CSI-RS;

identifying, by the terminal, a random access resource based on a measurement result of the CSI-RS, the QCL information and the random access resource configuration information; and

transmitting, by the terminal, a random access preamble based on the random access resource,

wherein the QCL information indicates an SS having a QCL relation with the CSI-RS.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the random access resource configuration information includes the random access resource associated with the SS.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the QCL information includes a CSI-RS identifier and an SS identifier.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein an SS is identified based on the measurement result of the CSI-RS and the QCL information, and

wherein the random access resource is identified based on the identified SS and the random access resource configuration information.

5. A terminal, comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and

at least one processor configured to:

obtain random access resource configuration information and quasi co-location (QCL) information from a base station, the random access resource configuration information including information on a synchronization signal (SS) and information on a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS),

measure a CSI-RS,

identify a random access resource based on a measurement result of the CSI-RS, the QCL information and the random access resource configuration information, and

transmit a random access preamble based on the random access resource,

wherein the QCL information indicates an SS having a QCL relation with the CSI-RS.

6. The terminal of claim 5 ,

wherein the random access resource configuration information includes the random access resource, and

wherein the random access resource is associated with the SS.

7. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the QCL information includes a CSI-RS identifier and an SS identifier.

8. The terminal of claim 5 ,

wherein an SS is identified based on the measurement result of the CSI-RS and the QCL information, and

wherein the random access resource is identified based on the identified SS and the random access resource configuration information.

9. A method of a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, by the base station, random access resource configuration information and quasi co-location (QCL) information to a terminal, the random access resource configuration information including information on a synchronization signal (SS) and information on a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS);

transmitting, by the base station, a CSI-RS to the terminal;

receiving a random access preamble based on a random access resource from the terminal; and

transmitting, by the base station, a random access response to the terminal,

wherein the random access resource is determined by the terminal based on a measurement result of the CSI-RS, the QCL information and the random access resource configuration information, and

wherein the QCL information indicates an SS having a QCL relation with the CSI-RS.

10. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein the random access resource configuration information includes the random access resource, and

wherein the random access resource is associated with the SS.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the QCL information includes a CSI-RS identifier and an SS identifier.

12. The method of claim 9 ,

wherein an SS is identified based on the measurement result of the CSI-RS and the QCL information, and

wherein the random access resource is identified based on the identified SS and the random access resource configuration information.

13. A base station, comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and

at least one processor configured to:

transmit random access resource configuration information and quasi co-location (QCL) information to a terminal, the random access resource configuration information including information on a synchronization signal (SS) and information on a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS),

transmit a CSI-RS to the terminal,

receive a random access preamble based on a random access resource from the terminal, and

transmit a random access response to the terminal,

wherein the random access resource is determined by the terminal based on a measurement result of the CSI-RS, the QCL information and the random access resource configuration information, and

wherein the QCL information indicates an SS having a QCL relation with the CSI-RS.

14. The base station of claim 13 ,

wherein the random access resource configuration information includes the random access resource, and

wherein the random access resource is associated with the SS.

15. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the QCL information includes a CSI-RS identifier and an SS identifier.

16. The base station of claim 13 ,

wherein an SS is identified based on the measurement result of the CSI-RS and the QCL information, and

wherein the random access resource is identified based on the identified SS and the random access resource configuration information.
