Abstract

This specification provides a method of performing a bandwidth part (BWP) operation in a wireless communication system. Specifically, The method performed by a terminal includes receiving a first message including information related to at least one initial BWP configuration from a network, receiving a second message including configuration information for an additional BWP from the network, receiving downlink control information (DCI) related to BWP switching for at least one configured BWP from the network, and transmitting and receiving signals to and from the network in an activated BWP based on the received DCI.

Claims (32)

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

receiving, from a base station (BS), radio resource control (RRC) configuration related to a downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) as a first BWP based on a time division duplex (TDD);

receiving, from the BS, downlink control information (DCI) in the first BWP, wherein the DCI is related to switching the DL BWP; and

transmitting, to the base station, a signal in an uplink (UL) BWP that is paired with the switched DL BWP.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC configuration includes a BWP identifier (ID) to identify the first BWP.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UL BWP is related to a same BWP identifier (ID) as the switched DL BWP.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the DCI related to switching the DL BWP is received in a shared control resource set (CORESET), and

the shared CORESET is configured in a part that is commonly shared between a plurality of configured BWPs.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein each of the plurality of configured BWPs have an identical numerology.

6. A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one processor; and

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

receiving, from a base station (BS), radio resource control (RRC) configuration related to a downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) as a first BWP based on a time division duplex (TDD);

receiving, from the BS, downlink control information (DCI) in the first BWP, wherein the DCI is related to switching the DL BWP; and

transmitting, to the base station, a signal in an uplink (UL) BWP that is paired with the switched DL BWP.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the RRC configuration includes a BWP identifier (ID) to identify the first BWP.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the UL BWP is related to a same BWP identifier (ID) as the switched DL BWP.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein:

the DCI related to switching the DL BWP is received in a shared control resource set (CORESET), and

the shared CORESET is configured in a part that is commonly shared between a plurality of configured BWPs.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein each of the plurality of configured BWPs have an identical numerology.

11. A method performed by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), radio resource control (RRC) configuration related to a downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) as a first BWP based on a time division duplex (TDD);

transmitting, to the UE, downlink control information (DCI) in the first BWP, wherein the DCI is related to switching the DL BWP; and

receiving, from the UE, a signal in an uplink (UL) BWP that is paired with the switched DL BWP.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the RRC configuration includes a BWP identifier (ID) to identify the first BWP.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the UL BWP is related to a same BWP identifier (ID) as the switched DL BWP.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the DCI related to switching the DL BWP is transmitted in a shared control resource set (CORESET), and

the shared CORESET is configured in a part that is commonly shared between a plurality of configured BWPs.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein each of the plurality of configured BWPs have an identical numerology.
