Abstract

Methods and systems related to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) are provided. An operation method of a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided, the method including checking information on at least one control resource set carrying scheduling information for scheduling remaining system information based on a master information block (MIB) received from a base station, checking the scheduling information in the at least one control resource set, and receiving the remaining system information based on the scheduling information.

Claims (52)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a master information block (MIB) on a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), the MIB including information on a subcarrier spacing for a system information block (SIB), information on a control resource set (CORESET) for the SIB, and information indicating a first symbol index of the CORESET and a number of search space sets per slot;

receiving, from the base station, control information based on the CORESET for the SIB and the information on the subcarrier spacing; and

receiving, from the base station, the SIB based on the control information,

wherein the information on the CORESET includes information indicating a number of resource blocks of the CORESET, a number of symbols of the CORESET, and offset resource blocks associated with the CORESET.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a synchronization signal block (SSB) includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and the PBCH,

wherein the SIB includes a periodicity of an SSB burst set, and

wherein the SIB includes a periodicity of an SSB burst set.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the SSB burst set includes a plurality of SSBs.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the offset resource blocks indicate a number of resource blocks from a starting resource block of the CORESET to a resource block associated with an SSB.

5. A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, a master information block (MIB) on a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), the MIB including information on a subcarrier spacing for a system information block (SIB), information on a control resource set (CORESET) for the SIB, and information indicating a first symbol index of the CORESET and a number of search space sets per slot;

transmitting, to the terminal, control information based on the CORESET for the SIB and the information on the subcarrier spacing; and

transmitting, to the terminal, the SIB based on the control information,

wherein the information on the CORESET includes information indicating a number of resource blocks of the CORESET, a number of symbols of the CORESET, and offset resource blocks associated with the CORESET.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a synchronization signal block (SSB) includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and the PBCH is included,

wherein the SIB includes a periodicity of an SSB burst set, and

wherein the periodicity is set to at least one of 20 ms, 40 ms, 80 ms, and 160 ms.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the SSB burst set includes a plurality of SSBs.

8. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the offset resource blocks indicate a number of resource blocks from a starting resource block of the CORESET to a resource block associated with an SSB.

9. A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, a master information block (MIB) on a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), the MIB including information on a subcarrier spacing for a system information block (SIB), information on a control resource set (CORESET) for the SIB, and information indicating a first symbol index of the CORESET and a number of search space sets per slot,

receive, from the base station, control information based on the CORESET for the SIB and the information on the subcarrier spacing, and

receive, from the base station, the SIB based on the control information,

wherein the information on the CORESET includes information indicating a number of resource blocks of the CORESET, a number of symbols of the CORESET, and offset resource blocks associated with the CORESET.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein a synchronization signal block (SSB) includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and the PBCH,

wherein the SIB includes a periodicity of an SSB burst set, and

wherein the periodicity is set to at least one of 20 ms, 40 ms, 80 ms, and 160 ms.

11. The terminal of claim 10 ,

wherein the SSB burst set includes a plurality of SSBs.

12. The terminal of claim 9 ,

wherein the offset resource blocks indicate a number of resource blocks from a starting resource block of the CORESET to a resource block associated with an SSB.

13. A base station in a communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, a master information block (MIB) on a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), the MIB including information on a subcarrier spacing for a system information block (SIB), information on a control resource set (CORESET) for the SIB, and information indicating a first symbol index of the CORESET and a number of search space sets per slot,

transmit, to the terminal, control information based on the CORESET for the SIB and the information on the subcarrier spacing, and

transmit, to the terminal, the SIB based on the control information,

wherein the information on the CORESET includes information indicating a number of resource blocks of the CORESET, a number of symbols of the CORESET, and offset resource blocks associated with the CORESET.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein a synchronization signal block (SSB) includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and the PBCH is included,

wherein the SIB includes a periodicity of an SSB burst set, and

wherein the periodicity is set to at least one of 20 ms, 40 ms, 80 ms, and 160 ms.

15. The base station of claim 14 ,

wherein the SSB burst set includes a plurality of SSBs.

16. The base station of claim 13 ,

wherein the offset resource blocks indicate a number of resource blocks from a starting resource block of the CORESET to a resource block associated with an SSB.
