Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, more particularly, to a method and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: identifying a minimum storing area per data in a HARQ buffer on the basis of a TTI length; storing data for transmission of a wireless signal in the HARQ buffer on the basis of the minimum storing area per data; and transmitting the data in the HARQ buffer during a first TTI, wherein, when the data is retransmitted data, the minimum storing area per data is based on the length of a second TTI used for initial transmission of the data, and the length of the second TTI is different from the length of the first TTI.

Claims (32)

1. A method for transmitting a signal by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) based on a first Subcarrier Spacing (SCS); and

based on a processing time for the PDCCH being elapsed from an ending time of the PDCCH, transmitting a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), scheduled by the PDCCH, based on a second SCS,

wherein the processing time for the PDCCH is determined based on a number of symbols, and the number of symbols is set to different values depending on SCSs, and

wherein, based on the first and second SCSs being different from each other, the number of symbols is determined based on one of the first SCS and the second SCS that makes the processing time largest in terms of absolute time.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processing time for the PDCCH is a time required for the UE to process the PDCCH.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the symbols include Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-based symbols.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a Timing Advance (TA) value is applied to the transmission of the PUSCH.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, before the processing time for the PDCCH is elapsed from the ending time of the PDCCH, the PUSCH is not transmitted.

6. A User Equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one Radio Frequency (RF) unit;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) based on a first Subcarrier Spacing (SCS); and

based on a processing time for the PDCCH being elapsed from an ending time of the PDCCH, transmitting a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), scheduled by the PDCCH, based on a second SCS,

wherein the processing time for the PDCCH is determined based on a number of symbols, and the number of symbols is set to different values depending on SCSs, and

wherein, based on the first and second SCSs being different from each other, the number of symbols is determined based on one of the first SCS and the second SCS that makes the processing time largest in terms of absolute time.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the processing time for the PDCCH is a time required for the UE to process the PDCCH.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the symbols include Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-based symbols.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein a Timing Advance (TA) value is applied to the transmission of the PUSCH.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein, before the processing time for the PDCCH is elapsed from the ending time of the PDCCH, the PUSCH is not transmitted.

11. A communication device configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the communication device comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) based on a first Subcarrier Spacing (SCS); and

based on a processing time for the PDCCH being elapsed from an ending time of the PDCCH, transmitting a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), scheduled by the PDCCH, based on a second SCS,

wherein the processing time for the PDCCH is determined based on a number of symbols, and the number of symbols is set to different values depending on SCSs, and

wherein, based on the first and second SCSs being different from each other, the number of symbols is determined based on one of the first SCS and the second SCS that makes the processing time largest in terms of absolute time.

12. The communication device of claim 11 , wherein the processing time for the PDCCH is a time required for the communication device to process the PDCCH.

13. The communication device of claim 11 , wherein the symbols include Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-based symbols.

14. The communication device of claim 11 , wherein a Timing Advance (TA) value is applied to the transmission of the PUSCH.

15. The communication device of claim 11 , wherein, before the processing time for the PDCCH is elapsed from the ending time of the PDCCH, the PUSCH is not transmitted.
