Abstract

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Specifically, the present disclosure provides method and apparatus for paging early indication monitoring based on UE type including: receiving, from a base station, SIB1; and, in case that the SIB1 includes first information on a first initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability terminal and second information on a first PEI configuration for the reduced capability terminal, monitoring a PEI in a PDCCH of the first initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability terminal based on the first PEI configuration for the reduced capability terminal.

Claims (30)

1 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a system information block 1 (SIB1) including first configuration information on a first initial downlink bandwidth part (BWP) and second configuration information on a paging early indication (PEI), wherein the second configuration information includes a number of paging occasions per PEI and a PEI frame offset; and

if the SIB1 includes third configuration information on a second initial downlink BWP for a reduced capability UE, monitoring a PEI on the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE based on the second configuration information on the PEI and the third configuration information on the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE, wherein the third configuration information includes information on a PEI search space of the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE and information on a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion of PEI of the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information includes information on a PEI search space of the first initial downlink BWP and information on a first PDCCH monitoring occasion of PEI of the first initial downlink BWP.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, if the SIB1 does not include the PEI third configuration information, the PEI is not monitored in the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein, if the SIB 1 does not include the third configuration information, the PEI is monitored on the first initial downlink BWP based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

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

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a system information block 1 (SIB1) including first configuration information on a first initial downlink bandwidth part (BWP) and second configuration information on a paging early indication (PEI), wherein the second configuration information includes a number of paging occasions per PEI and a PEI frame offset; and

if the SIB1 includes third configuration associated with information on a second initial downlink BWP for a reduced capability UE, transmitting a PEI on the second initial downlink BWPfor the reduced capability UE based on the second configuration information on the PEI and the third configuration information on the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE, wherein the third configuration information includes information on a PEI search space of the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE and information on a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion of PEI of the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the first configuration information includes information on a PEI search space of the first initial downlink BWP and information on a first PDCCH monitoring occasion of PEI of the first initial downlink BWP.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein, if the SIB 1 does not include the third configuration information, the PEI is not transmitted in the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein, if the SIB1 does not include the third configuration information, the PEI is transmitted on the first initial downlink BWP based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

9 . A user equipment (UE) comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one transceiver; and

at least one memory, communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, storing instructions executable by the at least one processor individually or in any combination to cause the reduced capability UE to:

receive, from a base station, a system information block 1 (SIB1) including first configuration information on a first initial downlink bandwidth part (BWP) and second configuration information on a paging early indication (PEI), wherein the second configuration information includes a number of paging occasions per PEI and a PEI frame offset, and

if the SIB1 includes third configuration information on a second initial downlink BWP for a reduced capability UE, monitor a PEI on the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE based on the second configuration information on the PEI and the third configuration information on the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE, wherein the third configuration information includes information on a PEI search space of the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE and information on a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion of PEI of the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE.

10 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the first configuration information includes information on a PEI search space of the first initial downlink BWP and information on a first PDCCH monitoring occasion of PEI of the first initial downlink BWP.

11 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein, if the SIB1 does not include the third configuration information, the PEI is not monitored in the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE.

12 . The UE of claim 11 , wherein, if the SIB1 does not include the third configuration information, the PEI is monitored on the first initial downlink BWP based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information.

13 . A base station comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor communicatively coupled to the at least one transceiver; and

at least one memory, communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, storing instructions executable by the at least one processor individually or in any combination to cause the base station to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a system information block 1 (SIB1) including first configuration information on a first initial downlink bandwidth part (BWP) and second configuration information on a paging early indication (PEI), wherein the second configuration information includes a number of paging occasions per PEI and a PEI frame offset, and

if the SIB1 includes third configuration information on a second initial downlink BWP for a reduced capability UE, transmit a PEI on the second initial downlink BWP, and a third PEI for the reduced capability UE based on the second configuration information on the PEI and the third configuration information on the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE, wherein the third configuration information includes information on a PEI search space of the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE and information on a first physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring occasion of PEI of the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE.

14 . The base station of claim 13 , wherein the first configuration information includes information on a PEI search space of the first initial downlink BWP and information on a first PDCCH monitoring occasion of PEI of the first initial downlink BWP.

15 . The base station of claim 13 , wherein, if the SIB1 does not include the third configuration information, the PEI is not transmitted in the second initial downlink BWP for the reduced capability UE.

16 . The base station of claim 15 , wherein, if the SIB1 does not include the third configuration information, the PEI is transmitted on the first initial downlink BWP based on the first configuration information and the second configuration information.
