Method and apparatus for transmitting/receiving wireless signal in wireless communication system
According to an embodiment of the present invention a UE may receive a first system information block (SIB) including a system information (SI) request-related configuration including a physical random access channel configuration; transmit a random access (RA) preamble for an SI request based on the PRACH configuration; and receive, in response to the RA preamble, a second SIB different from the first SIB, wherein the SI request-related configuration may include first information related only to a first type UE with reduced capability to support a smaller bandwidth than a second type UE, and second information common for the first type UE and the second type UE, and the UE may be the first type UE and may perform the RA preamble transmission by determining an RA association period and an RA occasion based on both of the first information and the second information in the SI request-related configuration.
1. A method of receiving a signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving a first system information block (SIB) including a system information (SI) request-related configuration including a physical random access channel (PRACH) configuration;
transmitting a random access (RA) preamble for an SI request based on the PRACH configuration; and
receiving, in response to the RA preamble for the SI request, a second SIB different from the first SIB,
wherein the SI request-related configuration includes first information related only to a first type UE with reduced capability to support a smaller bandwidth (BW) than a second type UE, and second information that is common for the first type UE and the second type UE, and
wherein the UE is the first type UE and performs the RA preamble transmission by determining a specific RA association period and a specific RA occasion (RO) based on both of the first information and the second information in the SI request-related configuration.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first information includes an RA association period index, and the second information includes an SI request period.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the SI request period includes one or more RA association periods and the RA association period index indicates the specific RA association period from the one or more RA association periods in the SI request period.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein each RA association period denotes a minimum number of PRACH configuration periods required for every synchronization signal block (SSB) to be associated with a corresponding RO at least once.
5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the specific RA association period is dedicated to the first type UE, and the SI request period is shared between the first type UE and the second type UE.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first information includes information regarding the specific RO, and the second information includes an RA association period index and an SI request period.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the specific RO is dedicated to the first type UE and the specific RA association period is shared between the first type UE and the second type UE.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first information includes an SI request period.
9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein a first SI request period is configured for the first type UE and a second SI request period is configured for the second type UE.
10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the specific RA association period is one of RA association periods included in the first SI request period.
11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first SIB is an SIB common for the first type UE and the second type UE, and the second SIB is an SIB dedicated to the first type UE.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first SIB is SIB1 and the second SIB is SIBx, where ‘x’ denotes an integer larger than 1.
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium recorded thereon program codes for performing the method according to claim 1 .
14. A device for wireless communication, the device comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions, the operations comprising:
receiving a first system information block (SIB) including a system information (SI) request-related configuration including a physical random access channel (PRACH) configuration;
transmitting a random access (RA) preamble for an SI request based on the PRACH configuration; and
receiving, in response to the RA preamble for the SI request, a second SIB different from the first SIB,
wherein the SI request-related configuration includes first information related only to a first type device with reduced capability to support a smaller bandwidth (BW) than a second type device, and second information that is common for the first type device and the second type device, and
wherein the device is the first type device and performs the RA preamble transmission by determining a specific RA association period and a specific RA occasion (RO) based on both of the first information and the second information in the SI request-related configuration.
15. The device according to claim 14 , further comprising;
a transceiver configured to transmit or receive a signal under control of the processor.
