Abstract

A method and an apparatus for transmitting and receiving downlink control information in a wireless communication system are provided. The method of the terminal includes receiving uplink configuration information from a base station, receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including information related to activation of grant-free uplink transmission, identifying the information related to the activation of the grant-free uplink transmission, based on the uplink configuration information, and transmitting an uplink signal to the base station, based on a result of the identifying.

Claims (31)

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

receiving, from a base station, first information configuring a frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) type and second information on a subcarrier spacing for uplink transmission via radio resource control (RRC) signaling;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information, (DCI) including third information on FDRA; and

releasing scheduling of an uplink configured grant in response to determining that all bits of the third information for FDRA type 2 are set to 0 and the second information is set to μ=1.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the DCI further includes hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number information, redundancy version information, and modulation and coding scheme information, and

wherein the scheduling of the uplink configured grant is released in response to determining that all bits of the HARQ process number information are set to 0, all bits of the redundancy version information are set to 0 and all bits of the modulation and coding scheme information are set to 1.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduling of the uplink configured grant is released, in response to determining that all bits of the third information are set to 1 or the second information is not set to μ=1.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

activating the scheduling of the uplink configured grant based on hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process number information and redundancy version information included in the DCI.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the scheduling of the uplink configured grant is activated in response to determining that all bits of the HARQ process number information are set to 0 and all bits of the redundancy version information are set to 0.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein a type of the uplink configured grant is type 2.

7. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, first information configuring a frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) type and second information on a subcarrier spacing for uplink transmission via radio resource control (RRC) signaling; and

transmitting, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI) including third information on FDRA,

wherein scheduling of an uplink configured grant is released, in response to determining that all bits of the third information for FDRA type 2 are set to 0 and the second information is set to μ=1.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein a type of the uplink configured grant is type 2.

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

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

receive, from a base station, first information configuring a frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) type and second information on a subcarrier spacing for uplink transmission via radio resource control (RRC) signaling,

receive, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including third information on FDRA, and

release scheduling of an uplink configured grant in case that all bits of the third information for FDRA type 2 are set to 0 and the second information is set to μ=1.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein a type of the uplink configured grant is type 2.

11. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, first information configuring a frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) type and second information on a subcarrier spacing for uplink transmission via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, and

transmit, to the terminal, downlink control information, DCI, including third information on FDRA,

wherein scheduling of an uplink configured grant is released, in case that all bits of the third information for FDRA type 2 are set to 0 and the second information is set to μ=1.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein a type of the uplink configured grant is type 2.
