Abstract

A method and apparatus for transmitting or receiving a signal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: transmitting message A including a physical random access channel (PRACH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and receiving message B on the basis of message A, wherein random access channel occasions (ROs) for transmission of the PRACH are located in a first slot, PUSCH occasions (POs) for transmission of the PUSCH are located in a second slot, and the first slot and the second slot are time-division multiplexed (TDMed) with each other.

Claims (35)

1. A method of transmitting and receiving a signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a message A including (i) a physical random access channel (PRACH) and (ii) a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

receiving a message B based on the message A,

wherein random access channel occasions (ROs) for transmission of the PRACH are located in a first time unit, and a time gap exists between every two ROs among the ROs, and one RO among the ROs is separated into a first band including a lowest RB of a specific frequency band and a second band including a highest RB of the specific frequency band,

wherein PUSCH occasions (POs) for transmission of the PUSCH are located in a second time unit, a time gap exists between every two POs among the POs, one PO among the POs is comprised of a single band including a center RB of the specific frequency band, and the single band is not overlapped with the first band and the second band, and

wherein the first time unit and the second time unit are time division multiplexed (TDMed) with each other.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PRACH is configured with length-139 sequences repeatedly mapped in a frequency domain or a single long sequence contiguously mapped in the frequency domain.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PRACH is transmitted on the one RO located last in a time domain within the first time unit, and

wherein the PUSCH is transmitted on the one PO located first in the time domain within the second time unit.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one RO among the ROs is related to a plurality of POs among the POs.

5. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit and receive a signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

transmitting a message A including (i) a physical random access channel (PRACH) and (ii) a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

receiving a message B based on the message A,

wherein random access channel occasions (ROs) for transmission of the PRACH are located in a first time unit, and a time gap exists between every two ROs among the ROs, and one RO among the ROs is separated into a first band including a lowest RB of a specific frequency band and a second band including a highest RB of the specific frequency band,

wherein PUSCH occasions (POs) for transmission of the PUSCH are located in a second time unit, a time gap exists between every two POs among the POs, one PO among the POs is comprised of a single band including a center RB of the specific frequency band, and the single band is not overlapped with the first band and the second band, and

wherein the first time unit and the second time unit are time division multiplexed (TDMed) with each other.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the PRACH is configured with length-139 sequences repeatedly mapped in a frequency domain or a single long sequence contiguously mapped in the frequency domain.

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the PRACH is transmitted on the one RO located last in a time domain within the first time unit, and

wherein the PUSCH is transmitted on the one PO located first in the time domain within the second time unit.

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the one RO among the ROs is related to a plurality of POs among the POs.

9. An apparatus for a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

transmitting a message A including (i) a physical random access channel (PRACH) and (ii) a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

receiving a message B based on the message A,

wherein random access channel occasions (ROs) for transmission of the PRACH are located in a first time unit, and a time gap exists between every two ROs among the ROs, and one RO among the ROs is separated into a first band including a lowest RB of a specific frequency band and a second band including a highest RB of the specific frequency band,

wherein PUSCH occasions (POs) for transmission of the PUSCH are located in a second time unit, a time gap exists between every two POs among the POs, one PO among the POs is comprised of a single band including a center RB of the specific frequency band, and the single band is not overlapped with the first band and the second band, and

wherein the first time unit and the second time unit are time division multiplexed (TDMed) with each other.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the PRACH is configured with length-139 sequences repeatedly mapped in a frequency domain or a single long sequence contiguously mapped in the frequency domain.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the PRACH is transmitted on the one RO located last in a time domain within the first time unit, and

wherein the PUSCH is transmitted on the one PO located first in the time domain within the second time unit.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the one RO among the ROs is related to a plurality of POs among the POs.
