Abstract

A method for supporting carrier aggregation and a short transmission time interval (sTTI) in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention is performed by a terminal, and may comprise a step of reporting the maximum number of component carriers supporting a combination of downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) sTTI lengths, in units of bands or band combinations.

Claims (30)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) supporting carrier aggregation (CA) and a short transmission time interval (sTTI) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

reporting, on a per-band combination basis, capability information comprising information regarding maximum numbers of component carriers (CCs) supporting a downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) sTTI length combination; and

receiving scheduling information related to the capability information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a DL signal or transmitting a UL signal in a CC supporting at least one DL and UL sTTI length combination configured for the UE among the reported DL and UL sTTI length combinations.

3. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the capability information further comprises a processing time supported for each of the one or more reported DL and UL sTTI length combinations.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a CA configuration for fewer CCs than the maximum numbers of CCs.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the maximum numbers of CCs is reported independently for each of a CA case and a non-CA case.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information about an sTTI-based CC to be monitored by the UE from a network.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information about a numerology-based CC to be monitored by the UE from a network, when the UE is operating with a predetermined numerology.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the maximum numbers of CCs is based on a minimum or maximum processing time assumed for a predetermined sTTI-based operation.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the capability information further comprises a maximum number of layers for spatial multiplexing in DL, supported by the UE or a maximum number of layers for spatial multiplexing in UL, supported by the UE.

10. A user equipment (UE) configured to support carrier aggregation (CA) and a short transmission time interval (sTTI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiver and a transmitter;

a processor connected to the receiver and the transmitter; and

a memory connected to the processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the processor, perform operations comprising:

reporting, on a per-band combination basis, capability information comprising information regarding maximum numbers of component carriers (CCs) supporting a downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) sTTI length combination; and

receiving scheduling information related to the capability information.

11. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise: receiving a DL signal or transmit a UL signal in a CC supporting at least one DL and UL sTTI length combination configured for the UE among the reported DL and UL sTTI length combinations.

12. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the capability information further comprises a processing time supported for each of the reported one or more DL and UL sTTI length combinations on a per-band basis or per-band combination basis.

13. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise: receiving a CA configuration for fewer CCs than the maximum numbers of CCs.

14. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the maximum numbers of CCs is reported independently for each of a CA case and a non-CA case.

15. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise: receiving information about an sTTI-based CC to be monitored by the UE from a network.

16. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise: receiving information about a numerology-based CC to be monitored by the UE from a network, when the UE is operating with a predetermined numerology.

17. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the maximum numbers of CCs is based on a minimum or maximum processing time assumed for a predetermined sTTI-based operation.

18. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the capability information further comprises a maximum number of layers for spatial multiplexing in DL, supported by the UE or a maximum number of layers for spatial multiplexing in UL, supported by the UE.
