Abstract

A method and device for transmitting and receiving signals in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention receive Random Access Channel (RACH) configurations, and transmit random access preambles on a specific RACH occasion (RO) on the basis of the RACH configurations. The number of reference points in a cell is derived on the basis of the number of the RACH configurations, and the reference points can have respective initial Timing Advance (TA) values for the RACH process.

Claims (26)

1. A method of transmitting and receiving signals by a user equipment supportive of a Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving System Information Block (SIB) including NTN-specific parameters for a serving cell,

wherein the NTN-specific parameters for the serving cell includes (i) a parameter for a common Timing Advance (TA) value and (ii) a parameter for a drift rate of the common TA value;

determining a TA value related to a serving satellite for the serving cell based on the first common TA value, the drift rate, a specific time and a current time; and

transmitting a signal based on the TA value related to the serving satellite,

wherein the common TA value is a timing offset that is equal to a Round Trip Time (RTT) between the serving satellite and a reference point, where the reference point is located in a feeder link.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific time is a reference time related to the common TA value, and

wherein a parameter for the specific time is included in the SIB.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the SIB further includes a parameter for an ephemeris of the serving satellite, and

wherein the TA value related to the serving satellite is determined based on a position of the serving satellite by the ephemeris and a position of the UE.

4. A user equipment supportive of a Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) to transmit and receive signals in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions enabling the at least one processor to perform a specific operation when executed, the specific operation comprising:

receiving System Information Block (SIB) including NTN-specific parameters for a serving cell,

wherein the NTN-specific parameters for the serving cell includes (i) a parameter for a common Timing Advance (TA) value and (ii) a parameter for a drift rate of the common TA value;

determining a TA value related to a serving satellite for the serving cell based on the first common TA value, the drift rate, a specific time and a current time; and

transmitting a signal based on the TA value related to the serving satellite,

wherein the common TA value is a timing offset that is equal to a Round Trip Time (RTT) between the serving satellite and a reference point, where the reference point is located in a feeder link.

5. The user equipment of claim 4 ,

wherein the information the specific time is a reference time related to the common TA value, and

wherein a a parameter for the specific time is included in the SIB.

6. The user equipment of claim 4 ,

wherein the SIB further includes a parameter for a ephemeris of the serving satellite, and

wherein the TA value related to the serving satellite is determined based on a position of the serving satellite by the ephemeris and a position of the UE.
