Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a next-generation wireless communication system for supporting high data transfer rates beyond the 4th generation (4G) wireless communication system. According to the various embodiments, a method of transmitting and receiving signals in a wireless communication system and apparatus for supporting the same may be provided.

Claims (25)

1. A method of performing a procedure of a small data transmission (SDT) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information related to the SDT; and

performing the procedure of the SDT through a random access channel (RACH) procedure for the SDT based on a quality of a serving cell being above a threshold and based on a configured grant (CG) for the SDT not being configured,

wherein the configuration information related to the SDT includes information for a search space for the SDT on which a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is monitored after a contention resolution related to the RACH procedure.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the procedure of the SDT is performed based on random access resources selected for the SDT.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information related to the SDT is received through a radio resource control (RRC) release message.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RACH procedure is performed based on a RACH resource configuration included in the configuration information related to the SDT.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

selecting a bandwidth part (BWP) for the SDT; and

activating the BWP for the SDT and transmitting a RACH preamble on the activated BWP,

wherein the RACH resource configuration includes a UE dedicated preamble or an SDT dedicated preamble, and

wherein the RACH preamble is transmitted on a RACH occasion (RO) included in the RACH resource configuration for the SDT.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein, based on a result of measurement of a synchronization signal block (SSB) or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) mapped to the UE dedicated preamble being greater than or equal to a threshold, the RACH preamble is the UE dedicated preamble,

wherein, based on the result of measurement of the SSB or CSI-RS mapped to the UE dedicated preamble being less than the threshold, and based on a result of measurement of an SSB or CSI-RS mapped to the SDT dedicated preamble being greater than or equal to the threshold, the RACH preamble is the SDT preamble, and

wherein, based on the result of measurement of the SSB or CSI-RS mapped to the UE dedicated preamble being less than the threshold, and based on the result of measurement of the SSB or CSI-RS mapped to the SDT dedicated preamble being less than the threshold, the RACH preamble is a normal preamble.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the quality of the serving cell is determined by a reference signal received power (RSRP) measured based on a synchronization signal block (SSB) or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) mapped to the RACH preamble.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having recorded thereon a program code for executing the method of claim 1 .

9. A user equipment (UE) of performing a procedure of a small data transmission (SDT) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

one or more processors connected to the transceiver,

wherein the one or more processors are configured to:

receive configuration information related to the SDT; and

perform the procedure of the SDT through a random access channel (RACH) procedure for the SDT based on a quality of a serving cell being above a threshold and based on a configured grant (CG) for the SDT not being configured,

wherein the configuration information related to the SDT includes information for a search space for the SDT on which a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is monitored after a contention resolution related to the RACH procedure.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the configuration information related to the SDT is received through a radio resource control (RRC) release message.
