Abstract

Provided are a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) reception method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, and a terminal using same. The method comprises receiving, from a base station, allocation information for allocating a plurality of control resource sets (CORESETs), wherein the CORESETs are resources limited to some bands among system bands of the base station in a frequency region, and a single PDCCH is received via the plurality of CORESETs indicated by the allocation information.

Claims (22)

1. A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) reception method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, allocation information for allocating a plurality of control resource sets (CORESETs), wherein the plurality of CORESETs are resources limited to some bandwidth parts in a system bandwidth of the base station in a frequency domain; and

receiving a single PDCCH through the plurality of CORESETs indicated by the allocation information,

wherein the single PDCCH is mapped through the plurality of CORESETs,

wherein each of the plurality of CORESETs comprises a plurality of control channel elements (CCEs), and

wherein a number of PDCCH candidates to which a PDCCH is allowed to be mapped is identical for each specific aggregation level of CCEs in each of the plurality of CORESETs.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of CORESETs are positioned in a plurality of carriers.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of CCEs in each of the plurality of CORESETs is aggregated in a predetermined number.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a set of candidate values for the predetermined number of aggregated CCEs in each of the plurality of CORESETs is identical to each other.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the single PDCCH is received from the plurality of CORESETs through PDCCH candidates having an identical index.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein downlink control information (DCI) is received through the single PDCCH.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the DCI is encoded based on an amount of all resources in the plurality of CORESETs.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the DCI is encoded based on an amount of resources in each of the plurality of CORESETs.

9. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

a processor configured to operate in connection with the transceiver,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, from a base station, allocation information for allocating a plurality of control resource sets (CORESETs), wherein the plurality of CORESETs are resources limited to some bandwidth parts in a system bandwidth of the base station in a frequency domain, and

receive a single physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) through the plurality of CORESETs indicated by the allocation information,

wherein the single PDCCH is mapped through the plurality of CORESETs,

wherein each of the plurality of CORESETs comprises a plurality of control channel elements (CCEs), and

wherein a number of PDCCH candidates to which a PDCCH is allowed to be mapped is identical for each specific aggregation level of CCEs in each of the plurality of CORESETs.
