Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for receiving a synchronization signal block by a UE in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method includes receiving at least one SSB mapped to a plurality of symbols, wherein two regions for candidate SSBs in which the at least one SSB can be received are allocated in a specific time duration including the plurality of symbols, and a time between the two regions, a time before the two regions and a time after the two regions are identical in the specific time duration.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) by a UE in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station (BS), at least one SSB mapped to a plurality of symbols; and
transmitting, to the BS, synchronization signal information determined based on the at least one SSB,
wherein a first and a second regions for candidate SSBs in which the at least one SSB can be received are allocated in a unit region,
wherein the unit region is composed of a plurality of slots including the plurality of symbols,
wherein a number of symbols between the first and the second regions, a number of symbols before the first region and a number of symbols after the second region are same in the unit region,
wherein the unit region is consecutively disposed by 4 times, and then consecutively disposed again by 4 times after a specific time interval within a half frame, and
wherein the specific time interval is same with a time duration corresponding to the unit region.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the candidate SSBs are consecutively disposed by a first number in each of the first and the second regions.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the number of symbols is 4 when a subcarrier spacing of the SSB is a first value, and the number of symbols is 8 when the subcarrier spacing of the SSB is a second value.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein unit region set in which the unit region is consecutively disposed by 4 times is repeatedly disposed by 4 times at the specific time interval within the half frame when the subcarrier spacing of the SSB is the first value, the regions being repeatedly disposed four times.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the unit region is composed by 2 slots when the subcarrier spacing of the SSB is the first value, and
the unit region is composed by 4 slots when the subcarrier spacing of the SSB is the second value.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a frequency band in which the UE operates is greater than a specific value.

7. A UE receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver for transmitting/receiving signals to/from a base station; and
a processor connected to the transceiver is configured to:
control the transceiver to receive at least one SSB mapped to a plurality of symbols from a base station (BS),
control the transceiver to transmit synchronization signal information obtained based on the at least one SSB to the BS,
wherein a first and a second region for candidate SSBs in which the at least one SSB can be received are allocated in a unit region,
wherein the unit region is composed of a plurality of slots including the plurality of symbols,
wherein a number of symbols between the first and the second regions, a number of symbols before the first region and a number of symbols after the second region are same in the unit region,
wherein the unit region is consecutively disposed by 4 times, and then consecutively disposed again by 4 times after a specific time interval within a half frame, and
wherein the specific time interval is same with a time duration corresponding to the unit region.

8. A method for transmitting a synchronization signal block (SSB) by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), at least one SSB mapped to a plurality of symbols; and
receiving, from the UE, synchronization signal information determined based on the at least one SSB,
wherein a first and a second regions for candidate SSBs in which the at least one SSB can be received are allocated in a unit region,
wherein the unit region is composed of a plurality of slots including the plurality of symbols,
wherein a number of symbols between the first and the second regions, a number of symbols before the first region and a number of symbols after the second region are same in the unit region,
wherein the unit region is consecutively disposed by 4 times, and then consecutively disposed again by 4 times after a specific time interval within a half frame, and
wherein the specific time interval is same with a time duration corresponding to the unit region.

9. A base station (BS) transmitting a synchronization signal block (SSB) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
a transceiver for transmitting/receiving signals to/from a UE; and
a processor connected to the transceiver is configured to:
control the transceiver to transmit at least one SSB mapped to a plurality of symbols to a user equipment (UE)
control the transceiver to receive transmit synchronization signal information obtained based on the at least one SSB from the UE,
wherein a first and a second regions for candidate SSBs in which the at least one SSB can be received are allocated in a unit region,
wherein the unit region is composed of a plurality of slots including the plurality of symbols,
wherein a number of symbols between the first and the second regions, a number of symbols before the first region and a number of symbols after the second region are same in the unit region,
wherein the unit region is consecutively disposed by 4 times, and then consecutively disposed again by 4 times after a specific time interval within a half frame, and
wherein the specific time interval is same with a time duration corresponding to the unit region.
