Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for performing grant-free transmission and reception in a wireless communication system, and a grant-free reception method performed by a terminal in a mobile communication system according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to downlink semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) and configuration information related to a data indication signal (DIS), receiving, from the base station, downlink SPS activation indication information, monitoring the DIS based on the configuration information related to the DIS, and when the DIS is detected or when the DIS is detected and monitoring indication information for a downlink data channel is obtained from the DIS, monitoring the downlink data channel based on at least one of the configuration related to downlink SPS and the downlink SPS activation indication information.

Claims (40)

1. A grant-free reception method performed by a terminal in a mobile communication system, the grant-free reception method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to downlink semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) and configuration information related to a data indication signal (DIS), wherein the DIS is a sequence and the configuration information related to the DIS includes an identity (ID) required to create the sequence;

receiving, from the base station, downlink SPS activation indication information;

in response to the downlink SPS activation indication information, monitoring the DIS based on the ID included in the configuration information related to the DIS; and

when the DIS is detected or monitoring indication information for a downlink data channel is obtained from the detected DIS, monitoring the downlink data channel based on the configuration information related to the downlink SPS.

2. The grant-free reception method of claim 1 , further comprising, when the downlink SPS activation indication information is received from the base station, stopping monitoring a downlink control channel for receiving the downlink data channel.

3. The grant-free reception method of claim 2 , further comprising starting monitoring the downlink control channel for receiving the downlink data channel when receiving downlink SPS release indication information from the base station, when failing to decode the downlink data channel, when transmitting a negative acknowledgement (NACK) feedback to the base station as hybrid automatic repeat request ACK (HARQ-ACK) information, when receiving information indicating a start of monitoring of the downlink control channel, or when a timer expires.

4. The grant-free reception method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information related to the DIS includes:

a transmission resource for the DIS,

an offset between the transmission resource for the DIS and a resource region configured for the downlink SPS, wherein the offset is determined based on a preferred offset indicated by capability signaling of the terminal, and

mapping information between the DIS and a plurality of transmission resources for the downlink data channel.

5. The grant-free reception method of claim 1 , wherein the DIS includes at least one of the monitoring indication information for the downlink data channel, information about a time period during which monitoring of the downlink data channel is to be performed, and information related to retransmission.

6. A grant-free transmission method performed by a base station in a mobile communication system, the grant-free transmission method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, configuration information related to downlink semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) and configuration information related to a data indication signal (DIS), wherein the DIS is a sequence and the configuration information related to the DIS includes an identity (ID) required to create the sequence;

transmitting, to the terminal, downlink SPS activation indication information;

in response to the downlink SPS activation indication information, transmitting the DIS to the terminal based on the configuration information related to the DIS, when there is a downlink data channel to be transmitted based on the configuration information related to the downlink SPS; and

transmitting the downlink data channel,

wherein the DIS is monitored at the terminal based on the ID included in the configuration information related to the DIS.

7. The grant-free transmission method of claim 6 , further comprising, when the downlink SPS activation indication information is transmitted to the terminal, monitoring of a downlink control channel for the downlink data channel is stopped.

8. The grant-free transmission method of claim 7 , further comprising transmitting the downlink control channel for transmitting the downlink data channel when transmitting downlink SPS release indication information to the terminal, when receiving a negative acknowledgement (NACK) feedback from the terminal as hybrid automatic repeat request ACK (HARQ-ACK) information, or when transmitting information indicating a start of monitoring of the downlink control channel to the terminal.

9. The grant-free transmission method of claim 6 , wherein the configuration information related to the DIS includes:

a transmission resource for the DIS,

an offset between the transmission resource for the DIS and a resource region configured for the downlink SPS, wherein the offset is determined based on a preferred offset indicated by capability signaling of the terminal, and

mapping information between the DIS and a plurality of transmission resources for the downlink data channel.

10. The grant-free transmission method of claim 6 , wherein the DIS includes at least one of monitoring indication information for the downlink data channel, information about a time period during which monitoring of the downlink data channel is to be performed, and information related to retransmission.

11. A terminal performing a grant-free reception method in a mobile communication system, the terminal comprising:

a communicator;

at least one memory storing a program for performing the grant-free reception method; and

at least one processor configured to execute the program for performing the grant-free reception method to control:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to downlink semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) and configuration information related to a data indication signal (DIS), wherein the DIS is a sequence and the configuration information related to the DIS includes an identity (ID) required to create the sequence;

receiving, from the base station, downlink SPS activation indication information;

in response to the downlink SPS activation indication information, monitoring the DIS based on the ID included in the configuration information related to the DIS; and

when the DIS is detected or monitoring indication information for a downlink data channel is obtained from the detected DIS, monitoring the downlink data channel based on the configuration information related to the downlink SPS.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control, when the downlink SPS activation indication information is received from the base station, stopping monitoring a downlink control channel for receiving the downlink data channel.

13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control starting monitoring the downlink control channel for receiving the downlink data channel when receiving downlink SPS release indication information from the base station, when failing to decode the downlink data channel, when transmitting a negative acknowledgement (NACK) feedback to the base station as hybrid automatic repeat request ACK (HARQ-ACK) information, when receiving information indicating a start of monitoring of the downlink control channel, or when a timer expires.

14. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the configuration information related to the DIS includes:

a transmission resource for the DIS,

an offset between the transmission resource for the DIS and a resource region configured for the downlink SPS, wherein the offset is determined based on a preferred offset indicated by capability signaling of the terminal, and

mapping information between the DIS and a plurality of transmission resources for the downlink data channel.

15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the DIS includes at least one of the monitoring indication information for the downlink data channel, information about a time period during which monitoring of the downlink data channel is to be performed, and information related to retransmission.
