Abstract

The present specification provides a method for performing an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) operation performed by a node in a wireless communication system, and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising: performing an initial access operation with another node; receiving, from the other node, at least one piece of timing advance (TA) information or T delta information, wherein downlink transmission timing of the node and uplink transmission timing of the node are aligned or determined on the basis of the at least one piece of TA information or T delta information; and performing the IAB operation on the basis of the downlink transmission timing and the uplink transmission timing.

Claims (32)

1. A method a node in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

performing an initial access operation with another node;

receiving, from the another node, one timing advance (TA) information among a plurality of TA information,

wherein downlink transmission timing of the node and uplink transmission timing of the node are determined based on the one TA information; and

performing an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) operation based on the downlink transmission timing and the uplink transmission timing,

wherein, based on the node receiving specific TA information among the plurality of TA information, a use of a timing alignment case 6 by the node is triggered,

wherein the timing alignment case 6 is a timing alignment case in which the uplink transmission timing of the node is aligned with the downlink transmission timing of the node, and

wherein a specific reference signal (RS), which is specific to the timing alignment case 6 and is configured periodically, semi-periodically or aperiodically, is applied to the timing alignment case 6.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IAB operation includes mobile terminal (MT) operation or distributed unit (DU) operation,

wherein the MT operation is operation related to a communication between the node and the another node,

wherein the DU operation is operation related to a communication between the node and a child node or a communication between the node and a terminal.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on the timing alignment case 6 being triggered, the node uses a first random access channel (RACH) resource among the first RACH resource and a second RACH resource in performing a RACH procedure, and

wherein the first RACH resource is a RACH resource configured for the timing alignment case 6 and the second RACH resource is a RACH resource configured for a timing alignment case other than the timing alignment case 6.

4. A node comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one memory; and

at least one processor operatively coupled with the at least one memory and the transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:

perform an initial access operation with another node;

control the transceiver to receive, from the another node, one timing advance (TA) information among a plurality of TA information,

wherein downlink transmission timing of the node and uplink transmission timing of the node are determined based on the one TA information; and

perform an integrated access and backhaul (IAB) operation based on the downlink transmission timing and the uplink transmission timing,

wherein, based on the node receiving specific TA information among the plurality of TA information, a use of a timing alignment case 6 by the node is triggered,

wherein the timing alignment case 6 is a timing alignment case in which the uplink transmission timing of the node is aligned with the downlink transmission timing of the node,

wherein a specific reference signal (RS), which is specific to the timing alignment case 6 and is configured periodically, semi-periodically or aperiodically, is applied to the timing alignment case 6.

5. A method for transmitting one timing advance (TA) information in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a node and comprising:

performing an initial access operation with a child node;

transmitting, to the child node, one TA information among a plurality of TA information,

wherein downlink transmission timing of the child node and uplink transmission timing of the child node are determined based on the one TA information,

wherein, based on the node transmitting specific TA information among the plurality of TA information, a use of a timing alignment case 6 by the child node is triggered,

wherein the timing alignment case 6 is a timing alignment case in which the uplink transmission timing of the child node is aligned with the downlink transmission timing of the child node,

wherein a specific reference signal (RS), which is specific to the timing alignment case 6 and is configured periodically, semi-periodically or aperiodically, is applied to the timing alignment case 6.
