Abstract

Disclosed is a method for transmitting and receiving signals to enable a terminal to perform a random access channel procedure (RACH procedure) in an unlicensed band. In particular, the method comprises: transmitting an uplink signal including a first physical random access channel (PRACH) and a first physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to a base station; and receiving, from the base station, a downlink signal related to contention resolution in response to the uplink signal, wherein a power ramping counter is used to set the transmission power of the uplink signal, and the value of the power ramping counter may be increased on the basis of a transmission spatial beam for the transmission of the uplink signal being configured in the same manner as a transmission spatial beam for the transmission of a PRACH prior to the uplink signal.

Claims (41)

1. A method of transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information related to a 2-Step RACH (Random Access Channel);

transmitting a message A, to a base station (BS), based on the configuration information;

receiving a message B in response to the message A from the base station; and

transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information related to the message B to the base station through the PUCCH,

wherein the message B includes a success random access response (RAR) including i) 4-bit of PUCCH resource indicator information representing a PUCCH resource from a PUCCH resource set including a plurality of PUCCH resources and ii) 3-bit of HARQ feedback timing information representing a slot in which the PUCCH is transmitted.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the PUCCH resource indicator information includes an initial value of an index representing the one PUCCH resource among the plurality of PUCCH resources.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the resource for transmitting the PUCCH is determined sequentially among the plurality of PUCCH resources based on an index of media access control (MAC) subheader of downlink control information (DCI) and the initial value included in PUCCH resource indicator information.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the PUCCH resource set is configured through a higher layer signaling.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the message B is received based on downlink control information (DCI).

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the message B includes the success RAR in response to successful decoding of the message A by the BS.

7. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to cause, when executed, the at least one processor to perform an operation, the operation comprising:

receiving configuration information related to a 2-Step RACH (Random Access Channel);

transmitting a message A, to a base station (BS), based on the configuration information;

receiving a message B in response to the message A from the base station; and

transmitting a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information related to the message B to the base station through the PUCCH,

wherein the message B includes a success random access response (RAR) including i) 4-bit of PUCCH resource indicator information representing a PUCCH resource from a PUCCH resource set including a plurality of PUCCH resources and ii) 3-bit of HARQ feedback timing information representing a slot in which the PUCCH is transmitted.

8. The UE of claim 7 ,

wherein the PUCCH resource indicator information includes an initial value of an index representing the one PUCCH resource among the plurality of PUCCH resources.

9. The UE of claim 8 ,

wherein the resource for transmitting the PUCCH is determined sequentially among the plurality of PUCCH resources based on an index of media access control (MAC) subheader of downlink control information (DCI) and the initial value included in PUCCH resource indicator information.

10. The UE of claim 8 ,

wherein the PUCCH resource set is configured via a higher layer signaling.

11. The UE of claim 7 ,

wherein the message B is received based on downlink control information (DCI).

12. The UE of claim 7 ,

wherein the message B includes the success RAR in response to successful decoding of the message A by the BS.

13. A method of receiving a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information related to a 2-Step RACH (Random Access Channel);

receiving a message A based on the configuration information;

transmitting, to the UE, a message B in response to the message A; and

receiving a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information related to the message B through the PUCCH,

wherein the message B includes a success random access response (RAR) including i) 4-bit of PUCCH resource indicator information representing a PUCCH resource from a PUCCH resource set including a plurality of PUCCH resources and ii) 3-bit of HARQ feedback timing information representing a slot in which the PUCCH is transmitted.
