Abstract

The present specification provides a method and a device, in which a terminal receives at least one piece of control resource set (CORESET) configuration information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: performing initial access with a base station; receiving the at least one piece of CORESET configuration information from the base station; and monitoring a physical control channel (PDCCH) on a CORESET configured on the basis of the at least one piece of CORESET configuration information, wherein a duration of the CORESET on the time axis includes four or more symbols.

Claims (43)

1. A method comprising:

performing, by a user equipment (UE), an initial access with a base station;

receiving, by the UE from the base station, at least one CORESET configuration information; and

monitoring, by the UE, a set of physical control channel (PDCCH) on a candidates in a CORESET configured based on the at least one CORESET configuration information,

wherein a duration of the CORESET on a time axis is 4 or more symbols,

wherein the CORESET comprises at least 2 sub-CORESETs, a duration of each of the at least 2 sub-CORESETs being smaller than the duration of the CORESET and a sum of durations of the at least 2 sub-CORESETs being same as the duration of the CORESET, and

wherein indexing of each of a plurality of control channel elements (CCEs) mapped to the CORESET is performed by alternating a first sub-CORESET and a second sub-CORESET of the at least 2 sub-CORESETs.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CORESET includes the first sub-CORESET and the second sub-CORESET,

wherein a duration of the first sub-CORESET consists of 1 to 3 symbols,

wherein a duration of the second sub-CORESET consists of 1 to 3 symbols,

wherein a sum of the duration of the first sub-CORESET and the duration of the second sub-CORESET is same as the duration of the CORESET.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one CORESET configuration information includes first CORESET configuration information and second CORESET configuration information,

wherein the first sub-CORESET is configured based on the first CORESET configuration information,

wherein the second sub-CORESET is configured based on the second CORESET configuration information.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein each CCE included in the plurality of CCEs consists of 6 resource element groups (REGs),

wherein each of the 6 REGs consists of one resource block on a frequency axis and one symbol on the time axis.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on number of CCEs for the first sub-CORESET being different from a number of CCEs for the second sub-CORESET, the indexing of each of the plurality of CCEs is performed on the first sub-CORESET and the second CORESET based on a ratio between a number of CCEs for the first sub-CORESET and a number of the CCEs for the second sub-CORESET.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one CORESET configuration information is a single CORESET configuration information,

wherein the single CORESET configuration information informs that the duration of the CORESET is 4 or more.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of CCEs is mapped to the CORESET,

wherein a number of resource element groups (REGs) included in each of the plurality of CCEs is configured based on a number of symbols constituting the duration.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one CORESET configuration information includes information informing whether a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the UE is allocated to a plurality of symbols or allocated only to a single symbol.

9. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one memory; and

at least one processor operatively coupled with the at least one memory and at least one transceiver, wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

performing an initial access with a base station;

receiving, from the base station, at least one control resource set (CORESET) configuration information; and

monitoring a set of physical control channel (PDCCH) candidates in a CORESET configured based on the at least one CORESET configuration information,

wherein a duration of the CORESET on a time axis is 4 or more symbols,

wherein the CORESET comprises at least 2 sub-CORESETs, a duration of each of the at least 2 sub-CORESETs being smaller than the duration of the CORESET and a sum of durations of the at least 2 sub-CORESETs being same as the duration of the CORESET, and

wherein indexing of each of a plurality of control channel elements (CCEs) mapped to the CORESET is performed by alternating a first sub-CORESET and a second sub-CORESET of the at least 2 sub-CORESETs.

10. A base station comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one memory; and

at least one processor operatively coupled with the at least one memory and at least one transceiver, wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

performing an initial access with a user equipment (UE); and

transmitting, to the UE, at least one CORESET configuration information,

wherein a physical control channel (PDCCH) is transmitted on a CORESET configured based on the at least one CORESET configuration information,

wherein a duration of the CORESET on a time axis is 4 or more symbols,

wherein the CORESET comprises at least 2 sub-CORESETs, a duration of each of the at least 2 sub-CORESETs being smaller than the duration of the CORESET and a sum of durations of the at least 2 sub-CORESETs being same as the duration of the CORESET, and

wherein indexing of each of a plurality of control channel elements (CCEs) mapped to the CORESET is performed by alternating a first sub-CORESET and a second sub-CORESET of the at least 2 sub-CORESETs.
