Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for performing a random access procedure in a wireless communication system. The method for performing a random access procedure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to random access, wherein the configuration information includes a scaling factor for a back-off indicator (BI) for a specific type of terminal; transmitting a first random access preamble to the base station; receiving, from the base station, a random access response (RAR) in response to the first random access preamble, wherein the RAR includes the BI; and on the basis of the RAR not including a random access preamble identifier (RAPID) associated with the first random access preamble, transmitting a second random access preamble to the base station.

Claims (23)

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

receiving, from a base station, first configuration information related to random access, wherein the first configuration information includes a first scaling factor for a back-off indicator (BI);

transmitting, to the base station, a first random access preamble;

receiving, from the base station, a random access response (RAR), wherein the RAR includes the BI; and

transmitting, to the base station, a second random access preamble based on the RAR not including a random access preamble identifier (RAPID) associated with the first random access preamble,

wherein based on second configuration information related to random access only for the redcap UE being provided from the base station, the second random access preamble is transmitted after a random backoff time determined based on a value obtained by multiplying the BI by a second scaling factor of the second configuration information, and

wherein based on the second configuration information not being provided from the base station, the second random access preamble is transmitted after a random backoff time determined based on a value obtained by multiplying the BI by the first scaling factor of the first configuration information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on a redcap UE being defined as a plurality of types according to a capability supported by a redcap UE, the second scaling factor is individually configured for each type.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second scaling factor is individually configured according to a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement value of a serving cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first random access preamble and the second random access preamble are transmitted only in a physical random access channel (PRACH) resource configured for the redcap UE.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the PRACH resource is configured by an RAPID and/or a PRACH mask index for selecting a random access resource for the redcap UE.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein an amount of the PRACH resource is configured differently for each type of a redcap UE or according to a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement value of a serving cell.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the PRACH resource is configured in different slots for each frame in which the PRACH resource is configured.

8. A reduced capability (redcap) user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the redcap UE comprising:

at least one transceiver for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal; and

at least one processor for controlling the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a base station, first configuration information related to random access, wherein the first configuration information includes a first scaling factor for a back-off indicator (BI);

transmit, to the base station, a first random access preamble;

receive, from the base station, a random access response (RAR), wherein the RAR includes the BI; and

transmit, to the base station, a second random access preamble based on the RAR not including a random access preamble identifier (RAPID) associated with the first random access preamble,

wherein based on second configuration information related to random access only for the redcap UE being provided from the base station, the second random access preamble is transmitted after a random backoff time determined based on a value obtained by multiplying the BI by a second scaling factor of the second configuration information, and

wherein based on the second configuration information not being provided from the base station, the second random access preamble is transmitted after a random backoff time determined based on a value obtained by multiplying the BI by the first scaling factor of the first configuration information.
