Abstract

Proposed is a method for receiving a downlink signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) from an initiating device; and receiving a downlink signal from the initiating device, wherein the SSB is periodically transmitted in every Nth fixed frame period, the N is an integer equal to or greater than 1, and transmission of the SSB is started at the first time resource included in the every Nth fixed frame period.

Claims (26)

1. A method for receiving a downlink signal performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) from a base station; and

receiving the downlink signal from the base station,

wherein the SSB is received periodically on every N-th Fixed Frame Period (FFP), wherein the N is an integer larger than or equal to 1, and

wherein, for an operation with shared spectrum channel access, a reception of the SSB in a half frame is within a time resource that starts from a first symbol of a first slot in the half frame.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the SSB and the downlink signal is transmitted on an unlicensed band.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the FFP is determined by the base station.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the FFP is less than or equal to 10 milliseconds (ms).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a transmission period of the SSB is the same as a measurement period related to cell measurement.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the cell measurement is a measurement of a serving cell or a neighboring cell.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the FFP includes a channel occupancy time and an idle period, and

wherein the idle period includes an observation slot.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE receives the SSB and the downlink signal within a specific channel occupancy time.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein, based on the downlink signal including an uplink grant, the UE performs uplink transmission to the base station from the time at which the uplink grant is received to the end time of the specific channel occupancy time.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the uplink transmission includes transmission related to a Random Access Channel (RACH).

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein a first parameter configured for a first operator related to the base station initiating device is different from a second parameter configured for a second operator, and

wherein the first parameter is at least one of the length of an observation slot, a contention window size, and a Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) threshold.

12. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal;

a processor; and

a computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) from a base station; and

receiving a downlink signal from the base station,

wherein the SSB is received periodically on every N-th Fixed Frame Period (FFP), wherein the N is an integer larger than or equal to 1, and

wherein, for an operation with shared spectrum channel access, a reception of the SSB in a half frame is within a time resource that starts from a first symbol of a first slot in the half frame.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the UE communicates with at least one of a mobile terminal, a network, and a self-driving vehicle other than the UE.
