Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for transmitting/receiving data in a wireless communication system supporting NB-IoT and a device for the method. More specifically, the method comprises monitoring a first search space configured for a first NPDCCH, wherein the first NPDCCH includes first control information for scheduling a first NPDSCH carrying an SC-MCCH; receiving the first NPDSCH based on the first control information; monitoring a second search space configured for a second NPDCCH by using a group identifier acquired through the SC-MCCH, wherein the second NPDCCH includes second control information for scheduling a second NPDSCH carrying an SC-MTCH; and receiving the second NPDSCH based on the second control information, wherein the second NPDCCH and the second NPDSCH are transmitted on one carrier, and carrier configuration information representing the one carrier is carried through the SC-MCCH.

Claims (38)

1. A method for transmitting/receiving data by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT), the method comprising:

receiving a system information block including carrier configuration information representing a carrier through which a first Narrowband Physical Downlink Control Channel (NPDCCH) and a first Narrowband Physical Downlink Shared Channel (NPDSCH) are transmitted;

monitoring a first search space configured for the first NPDCCH, wherein the first NPDCCH includes first control information for scheduling the first NPDSCH carrying a Single Cell-Multicast Control Channel (SC-MCCH);

receiving the first NPDSCH based on the first control information;

monitoring a second search space configured for a second NPDCCH by using a group identifier acquired through the SC-MCCH, wherein the second NPDCCH includes second control information for scheduling a second NPDSCH carrying a Single Cell-Multicast Traffic Channel (SC-MTCH); and

receiving the second NPDSCH based on the second control information,

wherein the second NPDCCH and the second NPDSCH related to the SC-MTCH are transmitted on one carrier, and

wherein carrier configuration information representing the one carrier for the SC-MTCH is carried through the SC-MCCH.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one carrier is configured according to the group identifier.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving system information including configuration information for the number of repetitions of at least one of the first NPDCCH, the first NPDSCH, the second NPDCCH, or the second NPDSCH, wherein the number of repetitions is configured in a cell-specific manner.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving system information including configuration information for the number of repetitions of at least one of the second NPDCCH or the second NPDSCH, wherein the number of repetitions is configured according to the group identifier.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the carrier configuration information representing the one carrier is carried through higher layer signaling configured according to the group identifier.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first search space is monitored by a single cell identifier.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first control information further includes information related to a change notification for the SC-MCCH.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the information related to the change notification for the SC-MCCH is composed of 1 bit.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first NPDCCH, the first NPDSCH, the second NPDCCH, and the second NPDSCH are transmitted through a carrier different from a carrier through which a narrowband synchronization signal and a Narrowband Physical Broadcast Channel (NPBCH) are transmitted.

10. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the first control information is downlink control information corresponding to Downlink Control Information (DCI) format N2, and

wherein the second control information is downlink control information corresponding to DCI format N1.

11. A User Equipment (UE) transmitting/receiving data in a wireless communication system supporting NarrowBand-Internet of Things (NB-IoT), the UE comprising:

a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor connected functionally to the transmitting and receiving unit, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a system information block including carrier configuration information representing a carrier through which a first Narrowband Physical Downlink Control Channel (NPDCCH) and a first Narrowband Physical Downlink Shared Channel (NPDSCH) are transmitted;

monitor a first search space configured for the first NPDCCH, wherein the first NPDCCH includes first control information for scheduling the first NPDSCH carrying a Single Cell-Multicast Control Channel (SC-MCCH);

receive the first NPDSCH based on the first control information;

monitor a second search space configured for a second NPDCCH by using a group identifier acquired through the SC-MCCH, wherein the second NPDCCH includes second control information for scheduling a second NPDSCH carrying a Single Cell-Multicast Traffic Channel (SC-MTCH); and

receive the second NPDSCH based on the second control information,

wherein the second NPDCCH and the second NPDSCH related to the SC-MTCH are transmitted on one carrier, and

wherein carrier configuration information representing the one carrier for the SC-MTCH is carried through the SC-MCCH.

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the one carrier is configured according to the group identifier.

13. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the carrier configuration information representing the one carrier is carried through higher layer signaling configured according to the group identifier.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the first search space is monitored by a single cell identifier.

15. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the first control information further includes information related to a change notification for the SC-MCCH.

16. The UE of claim 15 , wherein the information related to the change notification for the SC-MCCH is composed of 1 bit.

17. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the first control information is downlink information corresponding to Downlink Control Information (DCI) format N2, and

wherein the second control information is downlink control information corresponding to format N1.
