Abstract

Disclosed are a method for selecting a transmission resource for a transport block (TB) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor according to various embodiments. Specifically, disclosed are a method for selecting a transmission resource for a transport block (TB) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: arbitrarily selecting one frequency section from among multiple frequency sections divided from a system band at predetermined frequency intervals, and determining a first transmission resource for transmitting the transport block (TB) on the basis of the arbitrarily-selected frequency section; and transmitting the transport block, using the determined first transmission resource, wherein a guard band, which is a frequency band which is not selected as the first transmission resource, is formed in the arbitrarily-selected frequency section.

Claims (20)

1. A method of selecting a transmission resource for a transport block (TB) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

selecting a first transmission resource for transmitting the TB in a first narrowband limited to a bandwidth narrower than a system bandwidth;

selecting a second transmission resource for transmitting the TB in a second narrowband limited to a bandwidth narrower than the system bandwidth;

performing initial transmission of the TB using the first transmission resource; and

performing repeated transmission for the TB using the second transmission resource,

wherein the second transmission resource and the first transmission resource are selected to have a time interval equal to or greater than a preconfigured time interval from each other.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a guard band is formed in the first narrowband and the second narrowband by limiting a number of selectable resource blocks for the first transmission resource and the second transmission resource.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the number of selectable resource blocks corresponds to a value obtained by multiplying a size of one resource block by a multiple of a prime number or a multiplication of multiples of a plurality of prime numbers.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission resource comprises two resource blocks for a control information channel including data transmission related scheduling information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second transmission resource and the first transmission resource are randomly selected.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first narrowband is a band different from the second narrowband.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preconfigured time interval is determined based on a Radio Frequency (RF) tuning time.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first narrowband, the second narrowband, and the guard band are determined by a control signal of a physical layer or a higher layer signal transmitted from a base station.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission bandwidth for the UE is limited to the first narrowband or the second narrowband.

10. A user equipment (UE) in selecting a transmission resource for a transport block (TB) in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a transmitter; and

a processor configured to select a first transmission resource for transmitting the TB in the first narrowband limited to a bandwidth narrower than a system bandwidth, select a second transmission resource for transmitting the TB in a second narrowband limited to a bandwidth narrower than the system bandwidth, perform initial transmission the TB using the first transmission resource, and perform repeated transmission for the TB using the second transmission resource by controlling the transmitter,

wherein the second transmission resource and the first transmission resource are selected to have a time interval equal to or greater than a preconfigured time interval from each other.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to receive a user input to switch the drive mode from an autonomous mode to a manual mode, or to switch from a manual mode to an autonomous mode.

12. The method of claim 2 , wherein when a number of selectable resource blocks as the first transmission resource for the first narrowband is not limited, a third narrowband adjacent to the first narrowband is configured to limit the number of selectable resource blocks as transmission resources.
