Abstract

A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE comprises at least one processor configured to determine a first subcarrier spacing and a transceiver configured to transmit, to a base station (BS), random access signals generated with the first subcarrier spacing and receive a downlink control signaling comprising a physical (PHY) resource configuration that includes a second subcarrier spacing. The UE further comprises at least one processor configured to set the PHY resource configuration for at least one of uplink transmission or downlink reception.

Claims (39)

1. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one processor configured to determine a first subcarrier spacing; and

a transceiver configured to:

transmit, to a base station (BS), random access signals generated with the first subcarrier spacing; and

receive a downlink control signaling comprising a physical (PHY) resource configuration that includes a second subcarrier spacing, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to set the PHY resource configuration for at least one of uplink transmission or downlink reception.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

the transceiver is further configured to:

receive the PHY resource configuration in a subband that is located on a center of a system bandwidth, the subband including downlink synchronization signals; and

perform the at least one of uplink transmission or downlink reception according to the PHY resource configuration.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the PHY resource configuration comprises a plurality of configurations that include a subcarrier spacing value and a subband, the subcarrier spacing value to be used for the subband for the at least one of uplink transmission or downlink reception.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive a downlink control signaling comprising multiple PHY resource configurations each of which includes a subcarrier spacing value.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the PHY resource configuration further comprises information indicating an existence of a blank interval on boundaries of consecutive slots on which the UE is scheduled to receive a number of transport blocks.

6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the PHY resource configuration further comprises information to generate a reference signal scrambling sequence.

7. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the PHY resource configuration comprises resources corresponding to at least one of ultra reliable and low latency (URLL) configuration information, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) configuration information, or massive machine type communication (mMTC) configuration information.

8. A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transceiver is further configured to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE), random access signals generated with a first subcarrier spacing; and

transmit a downlink control signaling comprising a physical (PHY) resource configuration that includes a second subcarrier spacing; and

at least one processor configured to set the PHY resource configuration for at least one of uplink reception or downlink transmission.

9. The BS of claim 8 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

transmit the PHY resource configuration in a subband that is located on a center of a system bandwidth, the subband including downlink synchronization signals; and

perform the at least one of uplink reception or downlink transmission according to the PHY resource configuration.

10. The BS of claim 8 , wherein the PHY resource configuration comprises a plurality of configurations that includes a subcarrier spacing value and a subband, the subcarrier spacing value to be used for the subband for the at least one of uplink reception or downlink transmission.

11. The BS of claim 8 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit a downlink control signaling comprising multiple PHY resource configurations each of which includes a subcarrier spacing value.

12. The BS of claim 8 , wherein the PHY resource configuration further comprises information indicating an existence of a blank interval on a boundaries of consecutive slots on which the UE is scheduled to receive a number of transport blocks.

13. The BS of claim 12 , wherein the PHY resource configuration further comprises information to generate a reference signal scrambling sequence.

14. The BS of claim 8 , wherein the PHY resource configuration comprises resources corresponding to at least one of ultra reliable and low latency (URLL) configuration information, enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) configuration information, or massive machine type communication (mMTC) configuration information.

15. A method of user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining a first subcarrier spacing;

transmitting, to a base station (BS), random access signals generated with the first subcarrier spacing;

receiving a downlink control signaling comprising a physical (PHY) resource configuration that includes a second subcarrier spacing; and

setting the PHY resource configuration for at least one of uplink transmission or downlink reception.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving the PHY resource configuration in a subband that is located on a center of a system bandwidth, the subband including downlink synchronization signals; and

performing the at least one of uplink transmission or downlink reception according to the PHY resource configuration.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the PHY resource configuration comprises a plurality of configurations that includes a subcarrier spacing value and a subband, the subcarrier spacing value to be used for the subband for the at least one of uplink transmission or downlink reception.

18. The method of claim 15 , further comprising receiving a downlink control signaling comprising multiple PHY resource configurations each of which includes a subcarrier spacing value.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the PHY resource configuration further comprises information indicating an existence of a blank interval on boundaries of consecutive slots on which the UE is scheduled to receive a number of transport blocks.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the PHY resource configuration further comprises information to generate a reference signal scrambling sequence.
