Abstract

A method for measuring a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) by a terminal in a wireless communication system. In particular, the method may include: receiving a cell list including information of at least one first cell, first SSB transmission periodicity information for the at least one cell, and second SSB transmission periodicity information for a second cell that is not included in the cell list; measuring Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) for an SSB of the at least one first cell based on a first SSB measurement window, which is set up by using the first SSB transmission periodicity information; and measuring RSRP for an SSB of the second cell based on a second SSB measurement window, which is set up by using the second SSB transmission periodicity information.

Claims (40)

receiving (i) information related to a cell list including at least one first cell, and (ii) first SSB periodicity information for a first SSB periodicity for the at least one first cell;

receiving second SSB periodicity information for a second SSB periodicity for at least one second cell that is not included in the cell list;

measuring Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) for an SSB of a cell of the at least one first cell based on a first SSB measurement window that is configured based on the first SSB periodicity information; and

measuring RSRP for an SSB of a cell of the at least one second cell based on a second SSB measurement window that is configured based on the second SSB periodicity information,

wherein the first SSB periodicity and the second SSB periodicity are configured such that the first SSB periodicity is shorter than the second SSB periodicity.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first SSB measurement window and the second SSB measurement window are configured based on information related to a measurement timing offset and a measurement duration, and

wherein the information related to the measurement timing offset and the measurement duration are received together with at least one of the first SSB periodicity information and the second SSB periodicity information.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first SSB measurement window and the second SSB measurement window are both configured based on the measurement timing offset and the measurement duration.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein no RSRP is measured in time periods other than the first SSB measurement window and the second SSB measurement window.

5. A User Equipment (UE) for measuring a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
