Abstract

A method of monitoring a control signal in a wireless communication system, where the method is performed by a user equipment (UE) and includes: selecting at least one control resource set (CORESET) among a plurality of CORESETs based on an overlap between physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions in the plurality of CORESETs; and monitoring a PDCCH only in the selected at least one CORESET, among the plurality of CORESETs. The method also includes: based on the at least one CORESET including a first CORESET, and based on a first reference signal of the first CORESET and a second reference signal of a second CORESET being associated with a same synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB): monitoring the PDCCH in both the first CORESET and the second CORESET.

Claims (30)

1. A method of monitoring a control signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

in overlapping physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions in multiple control resource sets (CORESETs), selecting at least one CORESET among the multiple CORESETs; and

monitoring at least one PDCCH only in the at least one CORESET among the multiple CORESETs,

wherein, in selecting the at least one CORESET, a first priority of a CORESET including a Common Search Space (CS S) is higher than a second priority of a CORESET including a UE-specific Search Space (US S), and

wherein based on the multiple CORESETs comprising any CORESET including a CSS: the at least one CORESET comprises a CORESET including a CSS with a lowest index among the multiple CORESETs.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one CORESET comprises a CORESET having a highest priority among the multiple CORESETs.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein i) based on the at least one CORESET comprising a first CORESET and a second CORESET and ii) based on a first reference signal of the first CORESET and a second reference signal of a second CORESET being related with a same synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB): monitoring the at least one PDCCH in both the first CORESET and the second CORESET.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first CORESET and the second CORESET are assumed by the UE to have same Quasi Co Location (QCL) properties.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the QCL properties are related to a spatial receive (Rx) parameter.

6. A user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

in overlapping physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions in multiple control resource sets (CORESETs), selecting at least one CORESET among the multiple CORESETs; and

monitoring at least one PDCCH only in the at least one CORESET among the multiple CORESETs,

wherein, in selecting the at least one CORESET, a first priority of a CORESET including a Common Search Space (CS S) is higher than a second priority of a CORESET including a UE-specific Search Space (US S), and

wherein based on the multiple CORESETs comprising any CORESET including a CSS: the at least one CORESET comprises a CORESET including a CSS with a lowest index among the multiple CORESETs.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the at least one CORESET comprises a CORESET having a highest priority among the multiple CORESETs.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein i) based on the at least one CORESET comprising a first CORESET and a second CORESET and ii) based on a first reference signal of the first CORESET and a second reference signal of a second CORESET being related with a same synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB): monitoring the at least one PDCCH in both the first CORESET and the second CORESET.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the first CORESET and the second CORESET are assumed by the UE to have same Quasi Co Location (QCL) properties.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the QCL properties are related to a spatial receive (Rx) parameter.

11. A processing apparatus that is configured to control a wireless communication device to perform operations comprising:

in overlapping physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasions in multiple control resource sets (CORESETs), selecting at least one CORESET among the multiple CORESETs; and

monitoring at least one PDCCH only in the at least one CORESET among the multiple CORESETs,

wherein, in selecting the at least one CORESET, a first priority of a CORESET including a Common Search Space (CS S) is higher than a second priority of a CORESET including a UE-specific Search Space (US S), and

wherein based on the multiple CORESETs comprising any CORESET including a CSS: the at least one CORESET comprises a CORESET including a CSS with a lowest index among the multiple CORESETs.

12. The processing apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the at least one CORESET comprises a CORESET having a highest priority among the multiple CORESETs.

13. The processing apparatus of claim 11 , wherein i) based on the at least one CORESET comprising a first CORESET and a second CORESET and ii) based on a first reference signal of the first CORESET and a second reference signal of a second CORESET being related with a same synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block (SSB): monitoring the at least one PDCCH in both the first CORESET and the second CORESET.

14. The processing apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the first CORESET and the second CORESET are assumed by the wireless communication device to have same Quasi Co Location (QCL) properties.

15. The processing apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the QCL properties are related to a spatial receive (Rx) parameter.
