Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for receiving control information in a wireless communication system, and the method of receiving control information may include: receiving scheduling configuration information; receiving slot format information; determining formats of at least one slot based on scheduling configuration information and the slot format information; and receiving, based on a result of the determining, at least one of first type control information and second type control information.

Claims (35)

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

receiving, from a base station, scheduling configuration information comprising information about intervals of slots for which cross-slot scheduling configuration is possible;

receiving, from the base station, slot format information;

based on the slot format information, determining formats of one or more slots available for transmitting uplink data or downlink data scheduled by first control information for scheduling the uplink data or second control information for scheduling the downlink data in a slot different from the one or more slots,

wherein the one or more slots are configured by the scheduling configuration information;

in case that the formats are set to an uplink, detecting only for the first control information from among the first control information and the second control information; and

in case that the formats are set to a downlink, detecting only for the second control information from among the first control information and the second control information.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

when a format of at least one slot among a predetermined number of slots available for transmitting the uplink data or the downlink data is unknown, detecting for the first control information and the second control information.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein determining the formats comprises, in at least one of cases in which the slot format information includes information indicating that a format of a predetermined slot is unknown and in which the slot format information does not include information about the format of the predetermined slot, determining the format of the predetermined slot as an unknown format.

4. A method of receiving control information, the method comprising:

acquiring hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process configuration information including a number of HARQ processes for scheduling;

identifying a number of HARQ processes currently being performed;

determining information about the number of remaining HARQ processes based on the HARQ process configuration information and the identified number of HARQ processes being performed; and

selectively receiving scheduling control information based on the determined information about the number of remaining HARQ processes.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein acquiring the HARQ process configuration information comprises acquiring the HARQ process configuration information based on at least one of performance information of a user equipment and information received from a base station.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein identifying the number of HARQ processes currently being performed comprises identifying the number of HARQ processes currently being performed based on whether HARQ acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) or uplink data is transmitted.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein selective receiving the scheduling control information comprises receiving control information when the number of remaining HARQ processes is 1 or more.

8. A user equipment for receiving control information in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a transceiver configured to communicate with a base station; and

a processor configured to:

receive, from the base station, scheduling configuration information comprising information about intervals of slots for which cross-slot scheduling configuration is possible;

receive, from the base station, slot formation information;

based on the slot format information, determine formats of one or more slots available for transmitting uplink data or downlink data scheduled by first control information for scheduling the uplink data or second control information for scheduling the downlink data in a slot different from the one or more slots,

wherein the one or more slots are configured by the scheduling configuration information;

in case that the formats are set to an uplink, detect only for the first control information from among the first control information and the second control information; and

in case that the formats are set to a downlink, detect only for the second control information from among the first control information and the second control information.

9. The user equipment of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to detect for the first control information and the second control information when the formats are determined as different formats based on the slot format information.

10. A user equipment for receiving control information in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a transceiver configured to communicate with a base station; and

a processor configured to:

acquire hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process configuration information including a number of HARQ processes for scheduling;

identify a number of HARQ processes currently being performed;

determine information about the number of remaining HARQ processes based on the HARQ process configuration information and the identified number of HARQ processes being performed; and

selectively receive scheduling control information based on the determined information about the number of remaining HARQ processes.
