Abstract

A base station according to an embodiment of the present invention may determine multiple different RA-RNTIs, and transmit message 2 for a random access response on the basis that: the base station supports not only a random access procedure of a first type terminal having a first maximum terminal bandwidth, but also a random access procedure of a second type terminal having a second maximum terminal bandwidth smaller than the first maximum terminal bandwidth; message 1 including a PRACH preamble has been detected on a PRACH resource shared between the first type terminal and the second type terminal; and at least one of PRACH preamble sequences for the first type terminal is reused for the second type terminal.

Claims (57)

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

transmitting, through a physical random access channel (PRACH), a random access preamble;

receiving, through a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), a random access response (RAR) including an RAR uplink grant; and

transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the RAR uplink grant,

wherein the PUSCH transmission is performed based on that a first time between a last symbol of the PDSCH and an initial symbol of the PUSCH is not smaller than a second time,

wherein the second time is determined based on a sum of (i) a time duration related to a PDSCH processing time, (ii) a time duration related to a PUSCH preparation time, and (iii) a first time offset, and

wherein, based on that the UE is a second type UE having a reduced capability than a first type UE, the first time offset is determined to be equal to or longer than 1 milli-second (msec).

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, for the first type UE, the second time is determined as a sum of the time duration related to the PDSCH processing time, the time duration related to the PUSCH preparation time, and 0.5 msec.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting, from a higher layer of the UE, a request for a second PRACH transmission

wherein the second PRACH transmission is prepared no later than a third time,

wherein the third time is determined based on a sum of the time duration related to the PDSCH processing time, and a second time offset, and

wherein, based on that the UE is the second type UE, the second time offset is determined to be equal to or longer than 1 msec.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is a reduced capability user equipment (RedCap UE).

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the RedCap UE is an intelligent surveillance camera, a smart watch, or a smart meter.

6. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing instructions for performing the method of claim 1 .

7. A device comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions stored in the memory,

wherein the operations comprise:

transmitting, through a physical random access channel (PRACH), a random access preamble;

receiving, through a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) a random access response (RAR) including an RAR uplink grant; and

transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the RAR uplink grant,

wherein the PUSCH transmission is performed based on that a first time between a last symbol of the PDSCH and an initial symbol of the PUSCH is not smaller than a second time,

wherein the second time is determined based on a sum of (i) a time duration related to a PDSCH processing time, (ii) a time duration related to a PUSCH preparation time, and (iii) a first time offset, and

wherein, based on that the device is a second type device having a reduced capability than a first type device, the first time offset is determined to be equal to or longer than 1 milli-second (msec).

8. The device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a transceiver,

wherein the device is a reduced capability user equipment (RedCap UE).

9. A method performed by a base station (BS), the method comprising:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE) through a physical random access channel (PRACH), a random access preamble;

transmitting, to the UE through a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), a random access response (RAR) including an RAR uplink grant; and

receiving, from the UE, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the RAR uplink grant,

wherein the PUSCH reception is performed based on that a first time between a last symbol of the PDSCH and an initial symbol of the PUSCH is not smaller than a second time,

wherein the second time is determined based on a sum of (i) a time duration related to a PDSCH processing time of the UE, (ii) a time duration related to a PUSCH preparation time of the UE, and (iii) a first time offset, and

wherein, based on that the UE is a second type UE having a reduced capability than a first type UE, the first time offset is determined to be equal to or longer than 1 milli-second (msec).

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein, based on that the UE is the first type UE, the second time is determined as a sum of the time duration related to the PDSCH processing time, the time duration related to the PUSCH preparation time, and 0.5 msec.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

receiving a second PRACH transmission from the UE,

wherein the second PRACH transmission is prepared at the UE no later than a third time,

wherein the third time is determined based on a sum of the time duration related to the PDSCH processing time, and a second time offset, and

wherein, based on that the UE is the second type UE, the second time offset is determined to be equal to or longer than 1 msec.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second type UE is a reduced capability user equipment (RedCap UE).

13. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing instructions for performing the method of claim 9 .

14. A device comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions stored in the memory,

wherein the operations comprise:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE) through a physical random access channel (PRACH), a random access preamble;

transmitting, to the UE through a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), a random access response (RAR) including an RAR uplink grant; and

receiving, from the UE, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the RAR uplink grant,

wherein the PUSCH reception is performed based on that a first time between a last symbol of the PDSCH and an initial symbol of the PUSCH is not smaller than a second time,

wherein the second time is determined based on a sum of (i) a time duration related to a PDSCH processing time of the UE, (ii) a time duration related to a PUSCH preparation time of the UE, and (iii) a first time offset, and

wherein, based on that the UE is a second type UE having a reduced capability than a first type UE, the first time offset is determined to be equal to or longer than 1 milli-second (msec).

15. The device of claim 14 , further comprising:

a transceiver,

wherein the device is a base station.
