Abstract

Disclosed are methods for transmission and reception of downlink control information between a base station and a terminal, and devices for supporting same. Disclosed more particularly are: methods whereby a base station transmits downlink control information by means of an analogue beam independently determined for every one or more symbols (e.g., a unit of one or more symbols) and, in response to the base station, a terminal receives, by means of a serving beam of the terminal, the downlink control information transmitted by means of the analogue beam, which corresponds to the serving beam; and devices for supporting same.

Claims (30)

1. A method of transmitting downlink control information (DCI) to one or more User Equipment (UEs) by a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting information related to a first Time Transmission Interval (TTI) including a Beam Sweeping Downlink Control (BW-CCH) region;

transmitting, via the first TTI, the DCI using an analog beam among a plurality of analog beams, wherein the DCI is for requesting a Beam State Information (BSI) report; and

receiving, via a second TTI, the BSI report based on the DCI,

wherein the second TTI is an earliest TTI among TTIs related to the same analog beam of the first TTI, and the TTIs are located after the first TTI.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the DCI is transmitted by applying a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) to a group consisting of a plurality of UEs, and

wherein the DCI includes bit fields for the individual UEs of the group.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information includes a number of consecutive TTIs for the BW-CCH region and offset information applied to the BW-CCH region.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on first time resources in the BW-CCH regions being identical to second time resources for a Synchronization Signal (SS) or a Beam Reference Signal (BRS), the same analog beam is used for the first time resources and the second time resources.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information includes symbol indexes used for the BW-CCH within the first TTI.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein DCI scheduling data is transmitted via symbols having symbol indexes other than the symbol indexes included in the information.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is UE-specific DCI.

8. A method of receiving downlink control information (DCI) from a Base Station (BS) by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information related to a first Time Transmission Interval (TTI) including a Beam Sweeping Downlink Control (BW-CCH) region;

receiving, via the first TTI, the DCI using an analog beam among a plurality of analog beams, wherein the DCI is for requesting a Beam State Information (BSI) report; and

receiving, via a second TTI, the BSI report based on the DCI,

wherein the second TTI is an earliest TTI among TTIs related to the same analog beam of the first TTI, and the TTIs are located after the first TTI.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the UE transmits the BSI to the BS using a UE-specific uplink control resource.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein a location of a time period in which the BSI is transmitted is determined based on a location of the symbol in which the DCI is transmitted.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the DCI further includes information on a location of a time period in which the BSI is transmitted.

12. A User Equipment (UE) for receiving downlink control information from a Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

a processor connected to the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive information related to a first Time Transmission Interval (TTI) including a Beam Sweeping Downlink Control (BW-CCH) region;

receive, via the first TTI, the DCI using an analog beam among a plurality of analog beams, wherein the DCI is for requesting a Beam State Information (BSI) report; and

receive, via a second TTI, the BSI report based on the DCI,

wherein the second TTI is an earliest TTI among TTIs related to the same analog beam of the first TTI, and the TTIs are located after the first TTI.
