Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for receiving a downlink signal and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, the method for receiving a downlink signal comprises the steps of: receiving first time offset information and second time offset information from a base station, wherein the first time offset information and the second time offset information each indicate the time offset between the reception time of a specific signal and the reception time of a specific channel associated with the specific signal, and the first time offset information is set to have a length shorter than that of the second time offset information; and monitoring the specific signal at a time position determined on the basis of one of the first time offset information and the second time offset information, wherein the one offset information is determined on the basis of the capability of a user device.

Claims (30)

1. A method of receiving a downlink signal by a user equipment, the method comprising:

receiving first time offset information and second time offset information from a base station, each of the first time offset information and the second time offset information indicating a time offset between a receiving time of a specific signal and a receiving time of a specific channel related to the specific signal, the first time offset information being configured to have a shorter length than the second time offset information; and

monitoring the specific signal at a time position determined based on one offset information of the first time offset information and the second time offset information,

wherein the one offset information is determined based on a capability of the user equipment.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first time offset information and the second time offset information are received through a system information block (SIB).

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first time offset information and the second time offset information are received through independent fields of the SIB.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first time offset information and the second time offset information are received through a radio resource control (RRC) signal.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the first time offset information and the second time offset information are received through independent fields of the RRC signal.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first time offset information and the second time offset information indicates a time offset between a reception ending time of the specific signal and a reception starting time of the specific channel.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first time offset information and the second time offset information indicates a time offset between a reception starting time of the specific signal and a reception starting time of the specific channel.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the time position is determined based on a paging occasion (PO) configured for the user equipment and the one time offset information.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the time position is determined based on a paging occasion (PO) configured for the user equipment and the one time offset information.

10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising reporting the capability of the user equipment to the base station.

11. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising monitoring the specific channel based on detection of the specific signal.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the specific signal is a physical signal, and the specific channel is a physical control channel.

13. The method according to claim 12 , wherein the physical signal is a wake up signal (WUS), and the physical control channel is a narrowband physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) for paging.

14. A user equipment for receiving a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor operatively connected to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

control the transceiver to receive first time offset information and second time offset information from a base station, and monitor the specific signal at a time position determined based on one offset information of the first time offset information and the second time offset information,

wherein each of the first time offset information and the second time offset information indicates a time offset between a receiving time of a specific signal and a receiving time of a specific channel related to the specific signal, and the first time offset information is configured to have a shorter length than the second time offset information, and

wherein the one offset information is determined based on a capability of the user equipment.

15. An apparatus for a user equipment for receiving a downlink signal in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a memory including executable codes; and

a processor operatively connected to the memory,

wherein the processor is configured to execute the executable codes to implement operations comprising:

receiving first time offset information and second time offset information from a base station, and monitoring the specific signal at a time position determined based on one offset information of the first time offset information and the second time offset information,

wherein each of the first time offset information and the second time offset information indicates a time offset between a receiving time of a specific signal and a receiving time of a specific channel related to the specific signal, and the first time offset information is configured to have a shorter length than the second time offset information, and

wherein the one offset information is determined based on a capability of the user equipment.
