Abstract

The present 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 present 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. The present disclosure provides a method and device for receiving a physical downlink control channel in a wireless communication network, and method and device for determining resources.

Claims (74)

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

receiving, from a base station, configuration information for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

identifying a plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions for PDCCH repetitions based on the configuration information; and

monitoring at least one PDCCH scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions,

wherein the plurality of PDCCH monitoring occasions includes a first PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to a first search space (SS) and a second PDCCH monitoring occasion corresponding to a second SS,

wherein the first SS and the second SS are associated with each other, and

wherein the first SS and the second SS have a same SS type that is one of a user equipment specific SS (USS) or a common SS (CSS).

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the base station, information indicating whether a same beam is used for the at least one PDCCH in the first PDCCH monitoring occasion and the second PDCCH monitoring occasion,

wherein in case that the information does not indicate that the same beam is used, the at least one PDCCH is monitored based on different beams.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first SS is associated with a first control resource set (CORESET), and

wherein the second SS is associated with a second CORESET.

4. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first SS and the second SS have a same periodicity, a same offset, and a same duration in a time domain.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) configuration;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including a slot format indicator (SFI);

identifying a valid resource of the PDCCH monitoring occasions based on the UL/DL configuration and the SFI; and

monitoring the at least one PDCCH based on the valid resource.

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