Abstract

This specification provides a method for performing early data transmission in a random access procedure in a wireless communication system. More specifically, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes: receiving, from a base station, a control message including first information indicating whether selection for a second transport size (TBS) smaller than a first TBS for message 3 is permitted and second information for the first TBS; transmitting, to the base station, a request for the EDT by using message 1; receiving, from the base station, message 2 including a UL grant for the message 3; determining a repetition number for the message 3 based on the control message and the UL grant; and transmitting the message 3 to the base station by the repetition number. Therefore, there is an effect that battery consumption of the UE can be reduced.

Claims (34)

1. A method of receiving, by a base station (BS), an uplink data using early data transmission (EDT) in a wireless communication system supporting a narrowband, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), control information including information representing a maximum transport block size (TBS) for a transmission of the uplink data,

receiving, from the UE, a random access preamble for a request of the EDT;

transmitting, to the UE, a random access response message; and

receiving, from the UE, the uplink data by a repetition number,

wherein the repetition number is determined based on a specific TBS.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the random access preamble is a message 1, the random access response message is a message 2, and the transmission of the uplink data is a message 3.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the uplink data corresponds to a specific coverage enhancement (CE) level.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, second information for a TBS subset including at least one TBS.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the specific TBS is included in the TBS subset.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the repetition number is determined based on a repetition number for the transmission of the uplink data configured by the random access response message, the maximum TBS, and the specific TBS.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the specific TBS is determined based on the maximum TBS.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a resource in a frequency domain and a start position of a time domain in which the transmission of the uplink data is received are constant regardless of a TBS.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the random access preamble for the request of the EDT is determined based on at least one of a CE level or reference signal received power (RSRP).

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the random access preamble for the request of the EDT is received from the UE on a carrier corresponding to the CE level.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, a response message for the transmission of the uplink data based on a physical downlink control channel,

wherein the physical downlink control channel is monitored in a Type-2 common search space (CSS).

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the random access preamble for the request of the EDT is identified based on at least one of a starting carrier index of an NPRACH, a non-anchor carrier index used for transmission of the NPRACH, or a random access preamble identifier (RAPID).

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the random access response message includes information for a permission or a rejection for the request of the EDT.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein when the request of the EDT is identified based on the RAPID, the permission or rejection is indicated by a specific field of a medium access control (MAC) packet data unit (PDU) corresponding to the RAPID.

15. A base station (BS) of receiving an uplink data using early data transmission (EDT) in a wireless communication system supporting a narrowband, the BS comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver; and

a processor, operatively coupled to the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), control information including information representing a maximum transport block size (TBS) for a transmission of the uplink data,

receive, from the UE, a random access preamble for a request of the EDT;

transmit, to the UE, a random access response message; and

receive, from the UE, the uplink data by a repetition number,

wherein the repetition number is determined based on a specific TBS.

16. The BS of claim 15 , wherein the processor is further configured to transmit, to the UE, second information for a TBS subset including at least one TBS.

17. The BS of claim 16 , wherein the specific TBS is included in the TBS subset.

18. The BS of claim 17 , wherein the repetition number is determined based on a repetition number for the transmission of the uplink data configured by the random access response message, the maximum TBS, and the specific TBS.
