Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and specifically to a method and a device therefor, the method comprising: a step for receiving group common DCI on a first cell, wherein the group common DCI includes availability information about one or more RB sets configured for the first cell; a step for, on the basis of all of the RB set(s) being indicated as unavailable, performing first PDCCH monitoring, but skipping channel measurement on the RB set(s) during a certain duration; and a step for, on the basis of at least one of the RB set(s) being indicated as available, performing second PDCCH monitoring and the channel measurement on the at least one available RB set.

Claims (32)

1. A method used by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information related to an operation mode in an unlicensed spectrum;

receiving a group common downlink control information including a bitmap field for indicating availability of a plurality of bands in a carrier, wherein each band is a subject of a respective channel access procedure (CAP); and

performing a downlink reception within at least one of the plurality of bands indicated by the bitmap field,

wherein the operation mode includes:

first mode: when any of the plurality of bands has failed in respective CAP, downlink transmission does not occur on all of the plurality of bands in the carrier, and

second mode: when any of the plurality of bands has succeeded in respective CAP, downlink transmission can occur within the plurality of bands in the carrier;

wherein, based on the first mode being configured, the bitmap field has 1-bit only, which is commonly applied to all of the plurality of bands in the carrier, and

wherein, based on the second mode being configured, the bitmap field has a plurality of bits, each of which is separately applied to a respective one of the plurality of bands in the carrier.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on the first mode being configured, a value of ‘1’ of the bitmap field indicates that all of the plurality of bands are available, and a value of ‘0’ of the bitmap field indicates that all of the plurality of bands are unavailable.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on the second mode being configured, a value of ‘1’ of each of the plural bits included in the bitmap field indicates that the respective one of the plurality of bands is available, and a value of ‘0’ of each of the plural bits included in the bitmap field indicates that the respective one of the plurality of bands is unavailable.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on the second mode being configured, the downlink transmission can occur within at least one of the plurality of bands in which the CAP is successful.

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

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operatively coupled to the at least one processor and configured to cause, when executed, the at least one processor to perform an operation, the operation comprising:

receiving configuration information related to an operation mode in an unlicensed spectrum;

receiving a group common downlink control information including a bitmap field for indicating availability of a plurality of bands in a carrier, wherein each band is a subject of a respective channel access procedure (CAP); and

performing a downlink reception within at least one of the plurality of bands indicated by the bitmap field,

wherein the operation mode includes:

first mode: when any of the plurality of bands has failed in respective CAP, downlink transmission does not occur on all of the plurality of bands in the carrier, and

second mode: when any of the plurality of bands has succeeded in respective CAP, downlink transmission can occur within the plurality of bands in the carrier;

wherein, based on the first mode being configured, the bitmap field has 1-bit only, which is commonly applied to all of the plurality of bands in the carrier, and

wherein, based on the second mode being configured, the bitmap field has a plurality of bits, each of which is separately applied to a respective one of the plurality of bands in the carrier.

6. The UE of claim 5 ,

wherein based on the second mode being configured, a value of 1′ of the bitmap field indicates that all of the plurality of bands in the carrier are available and a value of ‘0’ of the bitmap field indicates that all of the plurality of bands in the carrier are unavailable.

7. The UE of claim 5 ,

wherein, based on the second mode being configured, a value of 1′ of each of the plural bits included in the bitmap field indicates that the respective one of the plurality of bands is available, and a value of ‘0’ of each of the plural bits included in the bitmap field indicates that the respective one of the plurality of bands is unavailable.

8. The UE of claim 5 ,

wherein, based on the second mode being configured, the downlink transmission can occur within at least one of the plurality of bands in which the CAP is successful.
