Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, particularly, to a method comprising the steps of: receiving information related to interval Q between SS/PBCH blocks in a QCL relationship in an unlicensed band, through a PBCH; and estimating a downlink path loss for uplink transmission on the basis of a plurality of SS/PBCH blocks having the same modulo (X, Q) value as a specific SS/PBCH block index within a time window in the unlicensed band, and an apparatus therefor.

Claims (42)

1. A method of performing a channel measurement by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information related to an interval Q between a plurality of synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) blocks in a quasi-co-located (QCL) relationship on an unlicensed band, through a physical broadcast channel (PBCH); and

estimating a downlink path loss for an uplink transmission based on the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks having a same modulo (X, Q) value within a time window on the unlicensed band,

wherein modulo represents a modulo operation, wherein X is an integer equal to or larger than 0 that represents an SS/PBCH block candidate index related to a time order of an SS/PBCH block within the time window, and wherein Q is a positive integer.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein Q is less than the number of the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks defined in the time window.

3. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein Q is an integer equal to or larger than 2.

4. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the downlink path loss is estimated based on all of the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks having the same modulo (X, Q) value.

5. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the uplink transmission includes a sounding reference signal (SRS) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

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

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory which is operably coupled to the at least one processor and storing in instructions that, when executed, causes the at least one processor to perform operations,

wherein the operations include:

receiving information related to an interval Q between a plurality of synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) blocks in a quasi-co-located (QCL) relationship on an unlicensed band, through a physical broadcast channel (PBCH); and

estimating a downlink path loss for an uplink transmission, based on the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks having a same modulo (X, Q) value within a time window on the unlicensed band, and

wherein modulo represents a modulo operation, wherein X is an integer equal to or larger than 0 that represents an SS/PBCH block candidate index related to a time order of an SS/PBCH block within the time window, and wherein Q is a positive integer.

7. The UE according to claim 6 ,

wherein Q is less than the number of the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks defined in the time window.

8. The UE according to claim 6 ,

wherein Q is an integer equal to or larger than 2.

9. The UE according to claim 6 ,

wherein the downlink path loss is estimated based on all of the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks having the same modulo (X, Q) value.

10. The UE according to claim 6 ,

wherein the uplink transmission includes a sounding reference signal (SRS) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

11. An apparatus for a user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory which is operably coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, causes the at least one processor to perform operations,

wherein the operations include:

receiving information related to an interval Q between a plurality of synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) blocks in a quasi-co-located (QCL) relationship on an unlicensed band, through a physical broadcast channel (PBCH); and

estimating a downlink path loss for an uplink transmission based on the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks having a same modulo (X, Q) value within a time window in the unlicensed band,

wherein modulo represents a modulo operation, wherein X is an integer equal to or larger than 0 that represents an SS/PBCH block candidate index related to a time order of an SS/PBCH block within the time window, and wherein Q is a positive integer.

12. The apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein Q is less than the number of the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks defined in the time window.

13. The apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein Q is an integer equal to or larger than 2.

14. The apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the downlink path loss is estimated based on all of the plurality of SS/PBCH blocks having the same modulo (X, Q) value.

15. The apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the uplink transmission includes a sounding reference signal (SRS) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
