Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are provided in which a base station transmits a synchronization signal (SS) physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block (SSB) associated with a master information block (MIB) including first configuration information for a first control resource set (CORESET) associated with a common search space (CSS). System information is transmitted. The terminal obtains MIB based on the SSB, monitors first control information for scheduling the system information on the CSS based on a first aggregation level, and receives the system information based on the first control information. A radio resource control (RRC) connection is established with the terminal based on the system information. An RRC message is transmitted to the terminal including second configuration information for a second CORESET associated with a UE specific search space (USS), based on the RRC connection. The terminal monitors second control information for the UE on the USS based on a second aggregation level.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a terminal, a synchronization signal (SS) physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block (SSB) associated with a master information block (MIB) including first configuration information for a first control resource set (CORESET) associated with a common search space (CSS);
transmitting system information, wherein the MIB is obtained by the terminal based on the SSB, first control information for scheduling the system information is monitored by the terminal on the CSS based on a first aggregation level, and the system information is received by the terminal based on the first control information;
establishing a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the terminal based on the system information; and
transmitting, to the terminal, an RRC message including second configuration information for a second CORESET associated with a user equipment (UE) specific search space (USS), based on the RRC connection, wherein second control information for the UE is monitored by the terminal on the USS based on a second aggregation level,
wherein the first aggregation level is predetermined and includes one of 4, 8, and 16, and
wherein the second aggregation level is included in the RRC message and includes one of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SSB comprises at least one of a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), or the PBCH.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first control information comprises at least one of location information of a resource of the system information or periodicity information of the system information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first aggregation level and the second aggregation level are not overlapped.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first aggregation level or the second aggregation level is determined based on a type of a service provided by a cell of the base station, or a coverage of the cell.

6. A base station in a communication system, the base station comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller configured to:
transmit, to a terminal via the transceiver, a synchronization signal (SS) physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block (SSB) associated with a master information block (MIB) including first configuration information for a first control resource set (CORESET) associated with a common search space (CSS),
transmit, via the transceiver, system information, wherein the MIB is obtained by the terminal based on the SSB, first control information for scheduling the system information is monitored by the terminal on the CSS based on a first aggregation level, and the system information is received by the terminal based on the first control information;
establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection with the terminal based on the system information, and
transmit, to the terminal via the transceiver, an RRC message including second configuration information for a second CORESET associated with a user equipment (UE) specific search space (USS), based on the RRC connection, wherein second control information for the UE is monitored by the terminal on the USS based on a second aggregation level,

wherein the first aggregation level is predetermined and includes one of 4, 8, and 16, and
wherein the second aggregation level is included in the RRC message and includes one of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16.

7. The base station of claim 6 , wherein the SSB comprises at least one of a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), or the PBCH.

8. The base station of claim 6 , wherein the first control information comprises at least one of location information of a resource of the system information or periodicity information of the system information.

9. The base station of claim 6 , wherein the first aggregation level and the second aggregation level are not overlapped.

10. The base station of claim 6 , wherein the first aggregation level or the second aggregation level is determined based on a type of a service provided by a cell of the base station, or a coverage of the cell.
