Abstract

A terminal having reduced capability so as to support a bandwidth smaller than a specific bandwidth, according to one embodiment of the present invention, can detect a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) signal through a synchronization signal block (SSB) on a first downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP), obtain a part of system information including a master information block (MIB) carried by the PBCH signal from among pieces of first system information provided on the first DL BWP, and obtain second system information provided on a second DL BWP that is different from the first DL BWP.

Claims (39)

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

receiving a master system information block (MIB); and

receiving a first system information block (SIB) based on the MIB,

wherein the first SIB includes information regarding a first initial downlink bandwidth part (DL BWP) and information regarding a second initial DL BWP, the second initial DL BWP being present for a reduced capability (RedCap) UE,

wherein, based on the UE being the RedCap UE, the UE uses the second initial DL BWP instead of the first initial DL BWP,

wherein, based on the second initial DL BWP being an active DL BWP of the UE, the UE assumes that the second initial DL BWP includes a synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block that is related to the UE's reception of a control resource set (CORESET) with an index 0,

wherein the first SIB includes information regarding a first initial UL BWP and information regarding a second initial UL BWP for the RedCap UE, and

wherein the UE performs a random access procedure in the second initial UL BWP based on a second random access channel (RACH) configuration provided for the second initial UL BWP for the RedCap UE other than a first RACH configuration for the first initial UL BWP.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second initial DL BWP does not exceed a maximum bandwidth of the RedCap UE.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MIB is common for a non-RedCap UE and the RedCap UE.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first SIB includes SIB1.

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

a transceiver;

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions, the operations comprising:

receiving a master system information block (MIB); and

receiving a first system information block (SIB) based on the MIB,

wherein the first SIB includes information regarding a first initial downlink bandwidth part (DL BWP) and information regarding a second initial DL BWP, the second initial DL BWP being present for a reduced capability (RedCap) UE,

wherein, based on the UE being the RedCap UE, the UE uses the second initial DL BWP instead of the first initial DL BWP,

wherein, based on the second initial DL BWP being an active DL BWP of the UE, the UE assumes that the second initial DL BWP includes a synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block that is related to the UE's reception of a control resource set (CORESET) with an index 0,

wherein the first SIB includes information regarding a first initial UL BWP and information regarding a second initial UL BWP for the RedCap UE, and

wherein the UE performs a random access procedure in the second initial UL BWP based on a second random access channel (RACH) configuration provided for the second initial UL BWP for the RedCap UE other than a first RACH configuration for the first initial UL BWP.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the second initial DL BWP does not exceed a maximum bandwidth of the RedCap UE.

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the MIB is common for a non-RedCap UE and the RedCap UE.

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the first SIB includes SIB1.

9. A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transceiver;

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions, the operations comprising:

transmitting a master system information block (MIB); and

transmitting a first system information block (SIB) based on the MIB,

wherein the first SIB includes information regarding a first initial downlink bandwidth part (DL BWP) and information regarding a second initial DL BWP, the second initial DL BWP being present for a reduced capability (RedCap) user equipment (UE),

wherein the second initial DL BWP is used by the RedCap UE instead of the first initial DL BWP,

wherein, based on the second initial DL BWP being an active DL BWP of the RedCap UE, the BS assumes that the second initial DL BWP includes a synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block that is related to the BS's transmission of a control resource set (CORESET) with an index 0,

wherein the first SIB includes information regarding a first initial UL BWP and information regarding a second initial UL BWP for the RedCap UE, and

wherein the BS performs a random access procedure with the RedCap UE in the second initial UL BWP based on a second random access channel (RACH) configuration provided for the second initial UL BWP for the RedCap UE other than a first RACH configuration for the first initial UL BWP.

10. The BS of claim 9 , wherein the second initial DL BWP does not exceed a maximum bandwidth of the RedCap UE.

11. The BS of claim 9 , wherein the MIB is common for a non-RedCap UE and the RedCap UE.

12. The BS of claim 9 , wherein the first SIB includes SIB1.
