Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for performing monitoring, performed by user equipment (UE), in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving information related to monitoring from a network; and performing monitoring on the basis of the information related to monitoring, wherein the information related to monitoring is information related to reduction of a range of a target which the UE will monitor.

Claims (39)

1. A method for receiving configuration information in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:

receiving, from a base station, the configuration information related to a control resource set (CORESET),

wherein the CORESET has a time duration of 1 to 3 orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols,

wherein at least one control channel element (CCE) is defined within the CORESET,

wherein the at least one CCE includes a plurality of resource element groups (REGs),

monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the CORESET,

wherein the configuration information related to the CORESET includes a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state related to the CORESET,

wherein the UE receives monitoring information related to reducing a range of a target to be monitored based on the configuration information, and

wherein, based on the TCI state having an unavailable value, the UE does not monitor on the CORESET related to the TCI state.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE receives information on monitoring candidates from the based station and monitors on some of the monitoring candidates based on the monitoring information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the monitoring information is transmitted based on downlink control information (DCI) or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the CORESET, a search space (SS) set, an aggregation level (AL), or all or some of candidates to be monitored are informed based on the base station after the UE receives the DCI.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the CORESET is configured in the UE based on explicit signaling of the base station or implicit decision of the UE, and the UE turns on or off monitoring on the CORESET based on the monitoring information.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the UE monitors on the CORESET based on the monitoring information informing ON of the CORESET, and the UE skips monitoring on the CORESET based on the monitoring information informing OFF of the CORESET.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein at least one SS set is configured in the UE based on explicit signaling of the base station or implicit decision of the UE, and the UE turns on or off monitoring on the at least one SS set based on the monitoring information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE reports a capability for operating in a power saving mode to the base station.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein an application time point of the power saving mode or a configuration for the power saving for the UE is informed based on the base station through higher layer signaling.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE implements an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) function based on a signal for controlling movement of a device, the UE switches a driving mode of the device from an autonomous driving mode to a manual driving mode or from the manual driving mode to the autonomous driving mode upon receiving a user input, and/or the UE performs autonomous driving based on external object information, wherein the external object information includes at least one of information on the presence or absence of an object; location information of the object, distance information between the device and the object, and relative speed information between the device and the object.

11. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a memory;

a transceiver; and

a processor operably coupled to the memory and the transceiver, wherein the processor is configured to perform operations comprising:

controlling the transceiver to receive, from a base station, configuration information related to a control resource set (CORESET),

wherein the CORESET has a time duration of 1 to 3 orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols,

wherein at least one control channel element (CCE) is defined within the CORESET,

wherein the at least one CCE includes a plurality of resource element groups (REGs),

monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the CORESET,

wherein the configuration information related to the CORESET includes a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state related to the CORESET,

wherein the UE receives monitoring information related to reducing a range of a target to be monitored based on the configuration information, and

wherein, based on the TCI state having an unavailable value, the UE does not monitor on the CORESET related to the TCI state.

12. A processor configured to control a user equipment (UE) to perform operations comprising:

controlling a transceiver to receive, from a base station, configuration information related to a control resource set (CORESET),

wherein the CORESET has a time duration of 1 to 3 orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols,

wherein at least one control channel element (CCE) is defined within the CORESET,

wherein the at least one CCE includes a plurality of resource element groups (REGs),

monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the CORESET,

wherein the configuration information related to the CORESET includes a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state related to the CORESET,

wherein the UE receives monitoring information related to reducing a range of a target to be monitored based on the configuration information, and

wherein, based on the TCI state having an unavailable value, the UE does not monitor on the CORESET related to the TCI state.
