Abstract

Disclosed is a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G communication system such as LTE. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for a terminal in a wireless communication system comprises: receiving system information and radio resource control (RRC) configuration information; identifying decoding-related information including an aggregation level based on the system information and/or the RRC configuration information; and decoding control information on the basis of the aggregation level.

Claims (34)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a synchronization signal (SS) physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block (SSB);

obtaining a master information block (MIB) including first configuration information for a first control resource set (CORESET) associated with a common search space (CSS), based on the SSB;

monitoring first control information for scheduling system information based on a first aggregation level on the CSS;

receiving the system information based on the first control information;

establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the base station based on the system information;

receiving, from the base station, an RRC message including second configuration information for a second CORESET associated with an UE specific search space (USS), based on the RRC connection; and

monitoring second control information for the UE based on a second aggregation level on the USS,

wherein the first aggregation level is predetermined and includes one of 4, 8, and 16, and

wherein the second aggregation level is included in the RRC message and includes one of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SSB comprises at least one of a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) or the PBCH.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first control information comprises at least one of location information of a resource of the system information or a periodicity information of the system information.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first aggregation level and the second aggregation level are not overlapped.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first aggregation level or the second aggregation level is determined based on a type of a service provided by a cell of the base station, or a coverage of the cell.

6. A user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a base station via the transceiver, a synchronization signal (SS) physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block (SSB),

obtain a master information block (MIB) including first configuration information for a first control resource set (CORESET) associated with a common search space (CSS), based on the SSB,

monitor first control information for scheduling system information based on a first aggregation level on the CSS,

receive, via the transceiver, the system information based on the first control information;

establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the base station based on the system information,

receive, from the base station via the transceiver, an RRC message including second configuration information for a second CORESET associated with an UE specific search space (USS), based on the RRC connection, and

monitor second control information for the UE based on a second aggregation level on the USS,

wherein the first aggregation level is predetermined and includes one of 4, 8, and 16, and

wherein the second aggregation level is included in the RRC message and includes one of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the SSB comprises at least one of a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) or the PBCH.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the first control information comprises at least one of location information of a resource of the system information or a periodicity information of the system information.

9. The UE of claim 6 ,

wherein the first aggregation level and the second aggregation level are not overlapped.

10. The UE of claim 6 ,

wherein the first aggregation level or the second aggregation level is determined based on a type of a service provided by a cell of the base station, or a coverage of the cell.
