Abstract

Claims (34)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), in a wireless communication system supporting Internet of Things (IoT), the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, discontinuous reception (DRX) related information via radio resource control (RRC) signaling;

receiving, from the base station, a paging message based on the DRX related information;

receiving, from the base station via a RRC signal, resource reservation configuration information including first information for a slot level bitmap related to a reserved resource and second information for a symbol level bitmap related to the reserved resource, wherein the resource reservation configuration information semi-statistically configures the reserved resource;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including resource reservation information, wherein the resource reservation information dynamically configures whether to use the reserved resource of slot-level and symbol-level granularity configured via the RRC signal for a IoT downlink resource;

determining, based on the resource reservation configuration information and the resource reservation information, the IoT downlink resource,

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “0”, the IoT downlink resource is determined as the reserved resource, and

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “1” thereby indicating that the reserved resource is fully reserved, the IoT downlink resource is determined as a resource other than the reserved resource; and

receiving, from the base station, downlink information based on the IT downlink resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reserved resource is one or more symbols reserved based on the symbol level bitmap in a slot reserved based on the slot level bitmap.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the slot level bitmap is set in units of 10 milliseconds (ms) or 40 ms.

4. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting Internet of Things (IoT), the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one 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, from a base station, discontinuous reception (DRX) related information via radio resource control (RRC) signaling;

receiving, from the base station, a paging message based on the DRX related information;

receiving, from the base station via a RRC signal, resource reservation configuration information including first information for a slot level bitmap related to a reserved resource and second information for a symbol level bitmap related to the reserved resource, wherein the resource reservation configuration information semi-statistically configures the reserved resource;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including resource reservation information, wherein the resource reservation information dynamically configures whether to use the reserved resource of slot-level and symbol-level granularity configured via the RRC signal for a IoT downlink resource;

determining, based on the resource reservation configuration information and the resource reservation information, the IoT downlink resource,

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “0”, the IoT downlink reserved resource is determined as the reserved-downlink resource, and

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “1” thereby indicating that the reserved resource is fully reserved, the IoT downlink resource is determined as a resource other than the reserved resource; and

receiving, from the base station, downlink information based on the IoT downlink resource.

5. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system supporting Internet of Things (IoT), the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), discontinuous reception (DRX) related information via radio resource control (RRC) signaling;

transmitting, to the UE, a paging message based on the DRX related information;

transmitting, to the UE via a RRC signal, resource reservation configuration information including first information for a slot level bitmap related to a reserved resource and second information for a symbol level bitmap related to the reserved resource, wherein the resource reservation configuration information semi-statistically configures the reserved resource;

transmitting, to the UE, downlink control information (DCI) including resource reservation information, wherein the resource reservation information dynamically configures whether to use the reserved resource of slot-level and symbol-level granularity configured via the RRC signal for a IoT downlink resource,

wherein the IoT downlink resource is determined based on the resource reservation configuration information and the resource reservation information,

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “0”, the IoT downlink resource is determined as the reserved resource, and

wherein, based on the resource reservation information being set to “1” thereby indicating that the reserved resource is fully reserved, the IoT downlink resource is determined as a resource other than the reserved resource; and

transmitting, to the UE, downlink information based on the IoT downlink resource.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the reserved resource is one or more symbols reserved based on the symbol level bitmap in a slot reserved based on the slot level bitmap.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the slot level bitmap is set in units of 10 milliseconds (ms) or 40 ms.
