Abstract

The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method and apparatus for monitoring wakeup signal and method and apparatus for securing unicast V2X communication are provided.

Claims (48)

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

receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) configuration for a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a special cell (SpCell), wherein the RRC reconfiguration message further comprises information on a power saving radio network temporary identifier (PS-RNTI) and information on a PS offset;

identifying a PDCCH monitoring occasion for a wakeup signal (WUS) based on the PDCCH configuration for the downlink BWP of the SpCell; and

receiving, from the base station on the SpCell, downlink control information including the WUS by monitoring the PDCCH monitoring occasion based on the PS-RNTI and the PS offset,

wherein the PS-RNTI and the PS offset are cell specific for the SpCell.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the PDCCH configuration for the downlink BWP of the SpCell comprises search space configuration information for one or more search space configurations and control resource set (CORESET) configuration information for one or more CORESET configurations,

wherein a search space configuration among the one or more search space configurations is associated with the WUS, and the search space configuration is associated with a CORESET configuration among the one or more CORESET configurations.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the search space configuration and the CORESET configuration are BWP specific for the downlink BWP.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in case that a short discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle and a long DRX cycle are configured for the terminal, the PDCCH monitoring occasion is monitored for the downlink control information including the WUS during the long DRX cycle.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing a discontinuous reception (DRX) operation based on the received WUS.

6. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) configuration for a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a special cell (SpCell), wherein the RRC reconfiguration message further comprises information on a power saving radio network temporary identifier (PS-RNTI) and information on a PS offset; and

transmitting, to the terminal on the SpCell, downlink control information including a wakeup signal (WUS) in a PDCCH monitoring occasion for the WUS based on the PDCCH configuration for the downlink BWP of the SpCell, the downlink control information being transmitted based on the PS-RNTI and the PS offset,

wherein the PS-RNTI and the PS offset are cell specific for the SpCell.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the PDCCH configuration for the downlink BWP of the SpCell comprises search space configuration information for one or more search space configurations and control resource set (CORESET) configuration information for one or more CORESET configurations,

wherein a search space configuration among the one or more search space configurations is associated with the WUS, and the search space configuration is associated with a CORESET configuration among the one or more CORESET configurations.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the search space configuration and the CORESET configuration are BWP specific for the downlink BWP.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein, in case that a short discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle and a long DRX cycle are configured for the terminal, the downlink control information including the WUS is transmitted in the PDCCH monitoring occasion during the long DRX cycle.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein a discontinuous reception (DRX) operation is performed based on the transmitted WUS.

11. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit or receive a signal; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message including a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) configuration for a downlink bandwidth part (BWP) of a special cell (SpCell), wherein the RRC reconfiguration message further comprises information on a power saving radio network temporary identifier (PS-RNTI) and information on a PS offset,

identify a PDCCH monitoring occasion for a wakeup signal (WUS) based on the PDCCH configuration for the downlink BWP of the SpCell, and

receive, from the base station on the SpCell, downlink control information including the WUS by monitoring the PDCCH monitoring occasion based on the PS-RNTI and the PS offset,

wherein the PS-RNTI and the PS offset are cell specific for the SpCell.

12. The terminal of claim 11 ,

wherein the PDCCH configuration for the downlink BWP of the SpCell comprises search space configuration information for one or more search space configurations and control resource set (CORESET) configuration information for one or more CORESET configurations,

wherein a search space configuration among the one or more search space configurations is associated with the WUS, and the search space configuration is associated with a CORESET configuration among the one or more CORESET configurations.

15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

perform a DRX operation based on the received WUS.

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

a transceiver configured to transmit or receive a signal; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
