Abstract

A default subcarrier spacing for use in transmission/reception of a broadcast channel is defined for each frequency range. A base station transmits a broadcast channel in a frequency band, using the default subcarrier spacing defined for a frequency range to which the corresponding frequency band belongs. A user equipment attempts to detect a broadcast channel in the frequency band where a cell search is being attempted, using the default subcarrier spacing defined for a frequency range to which the frequency band belongs.

Claims (32)

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

receiving a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block based on a first subcarrier spacing,

wherein the first subcarrier spacing is based on each of frequency ranges, and

wherein the SS/PBCH block includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a PBCH; and

receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on one of second subcarrier spacings,

wherein the PBCH carries information related to the one of second subcarrier spacings per each of the frequency ranges, and

wherein the PDSCH is related to a Msg2 of a random access response or a Msg4 of a contention resolution for an initial access, and the subcarrier spacing for the Msg2 is identical to the subcarrier spacing for the Msg4.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PDSCH carries system information.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the PBCH carries configuration information on a search space for receiving control information related to the PDSCH.

4. A user equipment in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

control the receiver to receive a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block based on a first subcarrier spacing,

wherein the first subcarrier spacing is based on each of frequency ranges, and

wherein the SS/PBCH block includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a PBCH; and

control the receiver to receive a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on one of second subcarrier spacings,

wherein the PBCH carries information related to the one of second subcarrier spacings per each of the frequency ranges, and

wherein the PDSCH is related to a Msg2 of a random access response or a Msg4 of a contention resolution for an initial access, and the subcarrier spacing for the Msg2 is identical to the subcarrier spacing for the Msg4.

5. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

control the transmitter to transmit a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block based on a first subcarrier spacing,

wherein the first subcarrier spacing is based on each of frequency ranges, and

wherein the SS/PBCH block includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a PBCH; and

control the transmitter to transmit a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on one of second subcarrier spacings,

wherein the PBCH carries information related to the one of second subcarrier spacings per each of the frequency ranges, and

wherein the PDSCH is related to a Msg2 of a random access response or a Msg4 of a contention resolution for an initial access, and the subcarrier spacing for the Msg2 is identical to the subcarrier spacing for the Msg4.
