Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for performing a random-access channel procedure (RACH procedure) by a terminal in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the method may comprise transmitting a first physical random-access channel (PRACH) preamble through message A on the basis of a RACH occasion, and receiving, as a response to message A, a random-access response (RAR) through message B related to contention resolution, wherein on the basis of the first PRACH preamble corresponding to a PRACH preamble mapped to a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) occasion, message A comprises the first PRACH preamble and a PUSCH based on the mapped PUSCH occasion, and on the basis of the first PRACH preamble corresponding to a PRACH preamble failed to be mapped to a PUSCH occasion, message A comprises the first PRACH preamble.

Claims (36)

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

transmitting a first physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble to a base station (BS) based on a RACH occasion and a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) occasion;

monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) related to a random access response (RAR) from the BS; and

receiving the RAR based on the PDCCH,

wherein based on that the first PRACH preamble is a PRACH preamble not mapped to the PUSCH occasion, the monitoring of the PDCCH is started after the RACH occasion related to the transmission of the first PRACH preamble.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first PRACH preamble is transmitted through message A, and

wherein based on that the first PRACH preamble is the PRACH preamble not mapped to the PUSCH occasion, PUSCH data is not included in the message A.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RAR is a fallback RAR including uplink (UL) grant information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein information about that the first PRACH preamble is the PRACH preamble not mapped to the PUSCH occasion is preconfigured for the UE.

5. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program codes for executing the method of claim 1 .

6. An apparatus configured to perform a random access channel (RACH) procedure in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

transmitting a first physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble based on a RACH occasion and a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) occasion;

monitoring a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) related to a random access response (RAR);

receiving the RAR based on the PDCCH,

wherein based on that the first PRACH preamble is a PRACH preamble not mapped to the PUSCH occasion, the monitoring of the PDCCH is started after the RACH occasion related to the transmission of the first PRACH preamble.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the first PRACH preamble is transmitted through message A, and

wherein based on that the first PRACH preamble is the PRACH preamble not mapped to the PUSCH occasion, PUSCH data is not included in the message A.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the RAR is a fallback RAR including uplink (UL) grant information.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein information about that the first PRACH preamble is the PRACH preamble not mapped to the PUSCH occasion is preconfigured for the apparatus.

10. The apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising:

at least one transceiver,

wherein the apparatus is a user equipment (UE).

11. A method of performing a random access channel (RACH) procedure by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a first physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble from a user equipment (UE) based on a RACH occasion and a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) occasion;

transmitting a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) related to a random access response (RAR) to the UE; and

transmitting the RAR based on the PDCCH,

wherein based on that the first PRACH preamble is a PRACH preamble not mapped to the PUSCH occasion, a transmission timing of the PDCCH is determined based on the RACH occasion.

12. A base station (BS) configured to perform a random access channel (RACH) procedure in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a first physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble from a user equipment (UE) based on a RACH occasion and a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) occasion;

transmitting a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) related to a random access response (RAR) to the UE; and

transmitting the RAR based on the PDCCH,

wherein based on that the first PRACH preamble is a PRACH preamble not mapped to the PUSCH occasion, a transmission timing of the PDCCH is determined based on the RACH occasion.
