Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for receiving, by means of a terminal, a downlink channel in a wireless communication system. In particular, the method may receive information about a plurality of component carriers, transmit information related to power consumption of a component carrier group including at least one first component carrier among the plurality of component carriers, and receive a downlink channel through at least one second component carrier activated on the basis of the information related to power consumption.

Claims (30)

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

receiving information related to a plurality of component carriers (CCs);

transmitting information related to power consumption of each of a plurality of CC groups, each CC group including at least one of the plurality of CCs; and

receiving the downlink channel through a CC determined based on the information related to the power consumption,

wherein, for a CC group including a deactivated CC, the UE calculates the power consumption of the CC group based on an assumption that a predetermined bandwidth part (BWP) of the deactivated CC is activated for receiving the downlink channel.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to the power consumption includes values obtained by measuring a power consumption level for a specific number of resource blocks (RBs).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the same CC group is associated with the same radio frequency (RF) circuit.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is capable of communicating with at least one of anther UE, a network, a base station, and an autonomous driving vehicle.

5. An apparatus for receiving a downlink channel in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving information related to a plurality of component carriers (CCs);

transmitting information related to power consumption of each of a plurality of CC groups, each CC group including at least one of the plurality of CCs; and

receiving the downlink channel through a CC determined based on the information related to the power consumption,

wherein, for a CC group including a deactivated CC, the apparatus calculates the power consumption of the CC group based on an assumption that a predetermined bandwidth part (BWP) of the deactivated CC is activated for receiving the downlink channel.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the information related to the power consumption includes values obtained by measuring a power consumption level for a specific number of resource blocks (RBs).

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the same CC group is associated with the same radio frequency (RF) circuit.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the apparatus is capable of communicating with at least one of a user equipment (UE), a network, a base station, and an autonomous driving vehicle.

9. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a downlink channel in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving information related to a plurality of component carriers (CCs) through the at least one transceiver;

transmitting, through the at least one transceiver, information related to power consumption of each of a plurality of CC groups, each CC group including at least one of the plurality of CCs; and

receiving, through the at least one transceiver, the downlink channel through a CC determined based on the information related to the power consumption,

wherein, for a CC group including a deactivated CC, the UE calculates the power consumption of the CC group based on an assumption that a predetermined bandwidth part (BWP) of the deactivated CC is activated for receiving the downlink channel.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined BWP is determined based on higher layer signaling.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined BWP is a lowest indexed BWP in the deactivated CC.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined BWP is a largest BWP in the deactivated CC.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined BWP is an initial BWP in the deactivated CC.
