Abstract

Disclosed in various embodiments of the present disclosure are a method for transmitting and receiving a signal in a wireless communication system and an apparatus for supporting same. In an example of an embodiment, the method comprises: obtaining information on groups for at least one search space set related to physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring, the groups comprising a first group and a second group; and a step for carrying out the PDCCH monitoring for a preset period of time in accordance with a search space set related to the second group, on the basis of the information on the groups.

Claims (69)

1. A method performed by a user equipment, the method comprising:

obtaining first information regarding search space set groups,

wherein the search space set groups comprise a first search space set group including at least a first search space set and a second search space set group including at least a second search space set, and

wherein each of the first and second search space sets is configured with a control resource set identifier, and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring slot periodicity and offset, a first symbol of a control resource set in a slot for PDCCH monitoring, and a number of PDCCH candidates per aggregation level; and

obtaining second information regarding a value of X;

receiving a PDCCH based on PDCCH monitoring according to the first search space set group; and

based on receiving the PDCCH:

stopping the PDCCH monitoring according to the first search space set group, and

starting PDCCH monitoring according to the second search space set group during a predetermined time period,

wherein the predetermined time period includes X slots after a last symbol of the PDCCH.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

after the predetermined time period, (i) starting PDCCH monitoring according to the first search space set group, and (ii) stopping the PDCCH monitoring according to the second search space set group.

3. A device comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory storing instructions that cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

obtaining first information regarding search space set groups,

wherein the search space set groups comprise a first search space set group including at least a first search space set and a second search space set group including at least a second search space set, and

wherein each of the first and second search space sets is configured with a control resource set identifier, and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring slot periodicity and offset, a first symbol of a control resource set in a slot for PDCCH monitoring, and a number of PDCCH candidates per aggregation level; and

obtaining second information regarding a value of X;

receiving a PDCCH based on PDCCH monitoring according to the first search space set group; and

based on receiving the PDCCH:

stopping the PDCCH monitoring according to the first search space set group, and

starting PDCCH monitoring according to the second search space set group during a predetermined time period,

wherein the predetermined time period includes X slots after a last symbol of the PDCCH.

4. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the operations further comprise:

after the predetermined time period, (i) starting PDCCH monitoring according to the first search space set group, and (ii) stopping the PDCCH monitoring according to the second search space set group.

5. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the device is configured to communicate with at least one of a mobile terminal, a network, or an autonomous driving vehicle other than a vehicle including the device.

6. A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting first information regarding search space set groups to a user equipment,

wherein the search space set groups comprise a first search space set group including at least a first search space set and a second search space set group including at least a second search space set, and

wherein each of the first and second search space sets is configured with a control resource set identifier, and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring slot periodicity and offset, a first symbol of a control resource set in a slot for PDCCH monitoring, and a number of PDCCH candidates per aggregation level; and

transmitting second information regarding a value of X to the user equipment;

transmitting a PDCCH according to the first search space set group; and

based on transmitting the PDCCH:

stopping PDCCH transmission according to the first search space set group, and

starting PDCCH transmission according to the second search space set group during a predetermined time period,

wherein the predetermined time period includes X slots after a last symbol of the PDCCH.

7. A base station comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory storing instructions that cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

transmitting first information regarding search space set groups,

wherein the search space set groups comprise a first search space set group including at least a first search space set and a second search space set group including at least a second search space set, and

wherein each of the first and second search space sets is configured with a control resource set identifier, and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring slot periodicity and offset, a first symbol of a control resource set in a slot for PDCCH monitoring, and a number of PDCCH candidates per aggregation level; and

transmitting second information regarding a value of X to a user equipment;

transmitting a PDCCH according to the first search space set group; and

based on transmitting the PDCCH:

stopping PDCCH transmission according to the first search space set group, and

starting PDCCH transmission according to the second search space set group during a predetermined time period,

wherein the predetermined time period includes X slots after a last symbol of the PDCCH.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a beginning of the X slots is at least Z symbols after the last symbol of the PDCCH.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first search space set related to the first search space set group is located outside a channel occupancy time (COT) in a time domain, and

wherein the second search space set related to the second search space set group is located outside the COT in the time domain.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first search space set related to the first search space set group is configured periodically based on a first periodicity in a time domain, and

wherein the second search space set related to the second search space set group is configured periodically based on a second periodicity in the time domain.

11. The device according to claim 3 , wherein a beginning of the X slots is at least Z symbols after the last symbol of the PDCCH.

12. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the first search space set related to the first search space set group is located outside a channel occupancy time (COT) in a time domain, and

wherein the second search space set related to the second search space set group is located outside the COT in the time domain.

13. The device according to claim 3 , wherein the first search space set related to the first search space set group is configured periodically based on a first periodicity in a time domain, and

wherein the second search space set related to the second search space set group is configured periodically based on a second periodicity in the time domain.

14. The method according to claim 6 , wherein a beginning of the X slots is at least Z symbols after the last symbol of the PDCCH.

15. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first search space set related to the first search space set group is located outside a channel occupancy time (COT) in a time domain, and

wherein the second search space set related to the second search space set group is located outside the COT in the time domain.
