Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, more particularly, to a method and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising the steps of: detecting an SS/PBCH block, wherein the SS/PBCH block includes a PBCH payload and a PBCH DMRS; and on the basis of characteristics of the PBCH DMRS, processing the PBCH payload on the basis of any one from among a plurality of WF methods, wherein the plurality of WFs include at least a CP-OFDM method and a DFT-s-OFDM method.

Claims (31)

1. A method of performing communication by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

detecting an SS/PBCH (Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel) block, the SS/PBCH block including a PBCH payload and a PBCH DMRS (Demodulation Reference signal); and

processing the PBCH payload on the basis of a WF (Waveform) of one of a plurality of WF schemes,

wherein a plurality of the WF schemes include a CP-OFDM (Cyclic Prefix Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) scheme and a DFT-s-OFDM (Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM) scheme at least,

wherein the WF is determined based on characteristics of the PBCH DMRS,

wherein based on processing the PBCH payload according to the CP-OFDM scheme, a DFT size applied to the PBCH payload is assumed as a value corresponding to a minimum band defined for a synchronization raster having the SS/PBCH block located thereat.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein REs having the PBCH DMRS existing therein have N RE (Resource Element) intervals in a frequency domain (where N is an integer greater than 1) and wherein the characteristics of the PBCH DMRS include a frequency shift value applied to the PBCH DMRS.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the characteristics of the PBCH DMRS include a parameter used to generate a DMRS sequence.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the characteristics of the PBCH DMRS include an initialization value used to generate the DMRS sequence.

5. A user equipment used in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

at least one processor; and

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

detecting an SS/PBCH (Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel) block, the SS/PBCH block including a PBCH payload and a PBCH DMRS (Demodulation Reference signal); and

processing the PBCH payload on the basis of a WF (Waveform) of one of a plurality of WF schemes,

wherein a plurality of the WF schemes include a CP-OFDM (Cyclic Prefix Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) scheme and a DFT-s-OFDM (Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM) scheme at least,

wherein the WF is determined based on characteristics of the PBCH DMRS, and

wherein based on processing the PBCH payload according to the CP-OFDM scheme, a DFT size applied to the PBCH payload is assumed as a value corresponding to a minimum band defined for a synchronization raster having the SS/PBCH block located thereat.

6. The user equipment of claim 5 , wherein REs having the PBCH DMRS existing therein have N RE (Resource Element) intervals in a frequency domain (where N is an integer greater than 1) and wherein the characteristics of the PBCH DMRS include a frequency shift value applied to the PBCH DMRS.

7. The user equipment of claim 5 , wherein the characteristics of the PBCH DMRS include a parameter used to generate a DMRS sequence.

8. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein the characteristics of the PBCH DMRS include an initialization value used to generate the DMRS sequence.

9. An apparatus for a user equipment, the apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

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

detecting an SS/PBCH (Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel) block, the SS/PBCH block including a PBCH payload and a PBCH DMRS (Demodulation Reference signal); and

processing the PBCH payload on the basis of a WF (Waveform) of one of a plurality of WF schemes,

wherein a plurality of the WF schemes include a CP-OFDM (Cyclic Prefix Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) scheme and a DFT-s-OFDM (Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM) scheme at least,

wherein the WF is determined based on characteristics of the PBCH DMRS,

wherein based on processing the PBCH payload according to the CP-OFDM scheme, a DFT size applied to the PBCH payload is assumed as a value corresponding to a minimum band defined for a synchronization raster having the SS/PBCH block located thereat.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein REs having the PBCH DMRS existing therein have N RE (Resource Element) intervals in a frequency domain (where N is an integer greater than 1) and wherein the characteristics of the PBCH DMRS include a frequency shift value applied to the PBCH DMRS.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the characteristics of the PBCH DMRS include a parameter used to generate a DMRS sequence.
