Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. According to the present disclosure, a method performed by a terminal in a communication system comprises: receiving semi persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration information from a base station; monitoring an SPS activation signal; confirming an SPS configuration corresponding to the SPS activation signal on the basis of the SPS configuration information, based on the SPS activation signal being sensed; receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from the base station on the basis of the SPS configuration; descrambling a PDSCH on the basis of a group-common configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier (CS-RNTI) based on the SPS configuration being a group-common SPS configuration; and descrambling the PDSCH on the basis of a terminal-specific CS-RNTI based on the SPS configuration being a terminal-specific SPS configuration.

Claims (67)

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

receiving, from a base station, semi persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration information including a group-common SPS configuration and a user equipment (UE)-specific SPS configuration, wherein each of the group-common SPS configuration and the UE-specific SPS configuration includes an SPS configuration index;

monitoring an SPS activation signal;

identifying, based on the SPS activation signal being detected, an SPS configuration corresponding to the SPS activation signal based on the SPS configuration information;

receiving, from the base station, a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) based on the SPS configuration;

based on the SPS configuration being the group-common SPS configuration, descrambling the PDSCH based on a group common configured scheduling radio network temporary identifier (G-CS-RNTI); and

based on the SPS configuration being the UE specific SPS configuration, descrambling the PDSCH based on a CS-RNTI,

wherein the SPS configuration index for the UE-specific SPS configuration and the SPS configuration index for the group-common SPS configuration do not have a same value.

2 . The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the SPS activation signal includes downlink control information (DCI), and

wherein a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled based on the CS-RNTI or the G-CS-RNTI is attached to the DCI.

3 . The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the SPS configuration corresponding to the SPS configuration index indicated by a field included in the DCI is activated, and

wherein modulation and coding scheme (mcs)-Table information for a group-common SPS PDSCH reception is separate configuration information from a mcs-Table information for a UE-specific SPS PDSCH reception.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving retransmission of the SPS activation signal;

discarding the retransmission of the SPS activation signal, wherein the retransmission of the SPS activation signal is transmitted in a specific slot determined based on the SPS configuration.

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

8 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

performing, based on feedback information on the PDSCH not being received, retransmission of the activation signal in a specific slot,

wherein the specific slot is determined based on the SPS configuration.

12 . The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive retransmission of the SPS activation signal, and

discard the retransmission of the SPS activation signal, wherein the retransmission of the SPS activation signal is transmitted in a specific slot determined based on the SPS configuration.

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

a transceiver; and

a controller connected to the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, semi persistent scheduling (SPS) configuration information including a group-common SPS configuration and a user equipment (UE)-specific SPS configuration, wherein each of the group-common SPS configuration and the UE-specific SPS configuration includes an SPS configuration index,
