Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). The method for operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes detecting a synchronization signal block, performing downlink synchronization process according to the detected synchronization signal block, and determining time-frequency resources of an anchor subband; acquiring random access configuration information according to the time-frequency resources of the anchor subband, performing a random access process according to the random access configuration information, and completing uplink synchronization; and acquiring control information in a control channel band, and performing data communication with a base station in the data transmission band according to the control information.

Claims (40)

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

receiving, from a base station, random access configuration information including information of random access configuration index indicating a preamble format among a plurality of formats;

identifying a delta-preamble value based on the preamble format and a subcarrier spacing;

determining transmission power for physical random access channel (PRACH) based on the identified delta-preamble value; and

transmitting, to the base station, a random access preamble based on the transmission power for PRACH.

2. A method performed by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) random access configuration information including information of random access configuration index indicating a preamble format among a plurality of formats; and

receiving, from the UE, random access preamble based on a transmission power for physical random access channel (PRACH),

wherein the transmission power for PRACH is associated with a delta-preamble value, and

wherein the delta-preamble value is associated with the preamble format and a subcarrier spacing.

3. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor operatively coupled with the transceiver, and configured to:

transmit, to a UE, including information of random access configuration index indicating a preamble format among a plurality of formats, and

receive, from the UE, a random access preamble based on a transmission power for physical random access channel (PRACH),

wherein the transmission power for PRACH is associated with a delta-preamble value, and

wherein the delta-preamble value is associated with the preamble format and a subcarrier spacing.

4. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor operably coupled with the transceiver, and configured to:

receive, from a base station, random access configuration information including information of random access configuration index indicating a preamble format among a plurality of formats,

identify a delta-preamble value based on the preamble format and a subcarrier spacing,

determine transmission power for physical random access channel (PRACH) based on the identified delta-preamble value, and

transmit, to the base station, random access preamble based on the transmission power for PRACH.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 0, 3, 5, 8, 11 decibel (dB), if the subcarrier spacing is 15 kilohertz (kHz).

6. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 3, 6, 8, 11, 14 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 30 kHz.

7. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 6, 9, 11, 14, 17 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 60 kHz.

8. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 9, 12, 14, 17, 20 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 120 kHz.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 0, 3, 5, 8, 11 decibel (dB), if the subcarrier spacing is 15 kilohertz (kHz).

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 3, 6, 8, 11, 14 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 30 kHz.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 6, 9, 11, 14, 17 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 60 kHz.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 9, 12, 14, 17, 20 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 120 kHz.

13. The method of claim 2 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 0, 3, 5, 8, 11 decibel (dB), if the subcarrier spacing is 15 kilohertz (kHz).

14. The method of claim 2 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 3, 6, 8, 11, 14 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 30 kHz.

15. The method of claim 2 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 6, 9, 11, 14, 17 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 60 kHz.

16. The method of claim 2 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 9, 12, 14, 17, 20 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 120 kHz.

17. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 0, 3, 5, 8, 11 decibel (dB), if the subcarrier spacing is 15 kilohertz (kHz).

18. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 3, 6, 8, 11, 14 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 30 kHz.

19. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 6, 9, 11, 14, 17 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 60 kHz.

20. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the delta-preamble value is identified as one of 9, 12, 14, 17, 20 dB, if the subcarrier spacing is 120 kHz.
