Abstract

Provided is a method for receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a feedback from a base station in a wireless communication system supporting narrowband (NB)-internet of things (IoT). Specifically, the UE receives, from the base station, a preconfigured uplink (UL) resource (PUR) configuration via RRC signalling, transmits, to the base station, uplink data on the PUR when the UE is in an idle mode, and receive, from the base station, the feedback for the uplink data. The feedback is configured to be received on an NPDCCH after a specific time has passed from the PUR transmission.

Claims (54)

1. A user equipment (UE) receiving a feedback from a base station in a wireless communication system supporting narrowband (NB)-internet of things (IoT), the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

a processor functionally connected to the RF module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, from the base station, a preconfigured uplink (UL) resource (PUR) configuration via RRC signalling;

when the UE is in an idle mode, transmit, to the base station, uplink data on the PUR; and

receive, from the base station, a feedback for the uplink data,

wherein the feedback is configured to be received on an NPDCCH after a specific time has passed from the PUR transmission.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the specific time is a specific number of at least one subframe.

3. The UE of claim 2 , wherein the specific number is four.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

monitor a feedback window on a search space for transmitting the feedback; and

stop the monitoring based on whether or not DCI including the feedback is received on the feedback window.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, from the base station, a response on other second field excluding a first field required to indicate a PUR retransmission from a plurality of fields included in a UL grant.

6. A base station transmitting a feedback to a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting narrowband (NB)-internet of things (IoT), the base station comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

a processor functionally connected to the RF module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

transmit, to the UE, a preconfigured uplink (UL) resource (PUR) configuration via RRC signalling;

when the UE is in an idle mode, receive, from the UE, uplink data on the PUR; and

transmit, to the UE, a feedback for the uplink data,

wherein the feedback is configured to be transmitted on an NPDCCH after a specific time has passed from the PUR reception.

7. The base station of claim 6 , wherein the specific time is a specific number of at least one subframe.

8. The base station of claim 7 , wherein the specific number is four.

9. The base station of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

monitor a feedback window on a search space for transmitting the feedback; and

indicate, to the UE, stopping the monitoring based on whether or not DCI including the feedback is received on the feedback window.

10. The base station of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit, to the UE, a response on other second field excluding a first field required to indicate a PUR retransmission from a plurality of fields included in a UL grant.

11. A method for receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a feedback from a base station in a wireless communication system supporting narrowband (NB)-internet of things (IoT), the method comprising:

receiving, from the base station, a preconfigured uplink (UL) resource (PUR) configuration via RRC signalling;

when the UE is in an idle mode, transmitting, to the base station, uplink data on the PUR; and

receiving, from the base station, a feedback for the uplink data,

wherein the feedback is configured to be received on an NPDCCH after a specific time has passed from the PUR transmission.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the specific time is a specific number of at least one subframe.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the specific number is four.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

monitoring a feedback window on a search space for transmitting the feedback; and

stopping the monitoring based on whether or not DCI including the feedback is received on the feedback window.

15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

configuring to receive, from the base station, a response on other second field excluding a first field required to indicate a PUR retransmission from a plurality of fields included in a UL grant.

16. A method for transmitting, by a base station, a feedback to a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting narrowband (NB)-internet of things (IoT), the method comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, a preconfigured uplink (UL) resource (PUR) configuration via RRC signalling;

when the UE is in an idle mode, receiving, from the UE, uplink data on the PUR; and

transmitting, to the UE, a feedback for the uplink data,

wherein the feedback is configured to be transmitted on an NPDCCH after a specific time has passed from the PUR reception.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the specific time is a specific number of at least one subframe.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the specific number is four.

19. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

monitoring a feedback window on a search space for transmitting the feedback; and

indicating, to the UE, stopping the monitoring based on whether or not DCI including the feedback is received on the feedback window.

20. The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

configuring to transmit, to the UE, a response on other second field excluding a first field required to indicate a PUR retransmission from a plurality of fields included in a UL grant.
