Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, specifically, to a method and an apparatus therefor, the method comprising: receiving BWP switching information from a first BWP; switching from the first BWP to a second BWP on the basis of the BWP switching information; switching to a third BWP different from the second BWP on the basis of transmission failure of a first uplink from the second BWP; and transmitting a second uplink from the third BWP, wherein the third BWP is one from among the first BWP, an initially activated BWP used for initial access, and a previously configured BWP.

Claims (36)

1. A method comprising:

receiving bandwidth information in a first bandwidth;

switching from the first bandwidth to a second bandwidth based on the bandwidth information;

switching to a third bandwidth different from the second bandwidth based on failure to perform a channel access procedure (CAP) in a resource for first uplink transmission of a data channel in the second bandwidth; and

performing uplink transmission of a control channel in the third bandwidth, wherein the control channel includes information for an index of the third bandwidth and information for a result of the channel access procedure in the second bandwidth, and

the third bandwidth is a preconfigured bandwidth.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bandwidth information is received by one of a higher layer signal or downlink control information or is acquired by expiration of a preset timer.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving downlink control information including information on allocation of the resource for the uplink transmission of the data control.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the failure to perform the uplink transmission of the data control in the second bandwidth comprises failing to receive, in the second bandwidth, downlink control information including information on allocation of a resource for the uplink transmission of the data control for a predetermined time.

5. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

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:

receiving bandwidth information in a first bandwidth;

switching from the first bandwidth to a second bandwidth based on the bandwidth information;

switching to a third bandwidth different from the second bandwidth based on failure to perform a channel access procedure in a resource for uplink transmission of a data channel in the second bandwidth; and

performing uplink transmission of a control channel in the third bandwidth, wherein the control channel includes information for an index of the third bandwidth and information for a result of the channel access procedure in the second bandwidth, and

the third bandwidth is a preconfigured BWP.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the bandwidth information is received by one of a higher layer signal or downlink control information or is acquired by expiration of a preset timer.

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to receive downlink control information including information on allocation of the resource for the uplink transmission of the data control.

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the failure to perform the uplink transmission of the data control in the second bandwidth comprises failing to receive, in the second bandwidth, downlink control information including information on allocation of a resource for the uplink transmission of the data control for a predetermined time.

9. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the UE comprises an autonomous vehicle capable of communicating with at least one of a network and an autonomous vehicle other than the UE.

10. An apparatus comprising:

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:

receiving bandwidth information in a first bandwidth;

switching from the first bandwidth to a second bandwidth based on the bandwidth information;

switching to a third bandwidth different from the second bandwidth based on failure to perform a channel access procedure in a resource for first uplink transmission of a data channel in the second bandwidth; and

performing uplink transmission of a control channel in the third bandwidth, wherein the control channel includes information for an index of the third bandwidth and information for a result of the channel access procedure in the second bandwidth, and

the third bandwidth is a preconfigured bandwidth.

11. A non transitory processor-readable medium storing one or more instructions for causing at least one processor to perform an operation, the operation comprising:

receiving bandwidth information in a first bandwidth;

switching from the first bandwidth to a second bandwidth based on the bandwidth information;

switching to a third bandwidth different from the second bandwidth based on failure to perform a channel access procedure in a resource for uplink transmission of a data channel in the second bandwidth; and

performing uplink transmission of a control channel in the third bandwidth, wherein the control channel includes information for an index of the third bandwidth and information for a result of the channel access procedure in the second bandwidth, and

the third bandwidth is a preconfigured bandwidth.
