Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, more particularly, to a method comprising the steps of: receiving a PDCCH for multi-slot scheduling; determining a PDSCH candidate for each slot on the basis of information in the PDCCH; and transmitting a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook on the basis of the determined PDSCH candidate of each slot, and to an apparatus therefor.

wherein dk (k represents an index of element) corresponds to a slot index difference between a slot to which a last PDSCH can be allocated and a slot to which a k-th PDSCH can be allocated based on the plurality of PDCCH-to-PDSCH timing K0 values, across all entries in the TDRA table.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a subcarrier spacing (SCS) applied to a slot in which the PDCCH is transmitted and the SCS applied to a slot in which the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook is transmitted are the same.
