Abstract:
As one of energy saving mechanisms for a new radio access technology (NR), a power saving state may be defined according to the present invention. More specificially, a user equipment (UE) enters an active state, monitors a first radio frequency (RF) bandwidth for the active state, enters the power saving state, and monitors a second RF bandwidth, which is restricted to M MHz within the first RF bandwidth, for the power saving state.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for allocating resources for a machine type communication user equipment (MTC UE) in a wireless communication system is provided. A base station indicates a transport block size (TBS) directly, adapts a code rate according to repetition numbers across multiple subframes in a MTC physical downlink shared channel (M-PDSCH) for the MTC UE, and allocates resources for the M-PDSCH by using the indicated transport block size and the adapted code rate. The TBS may be determined based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) only.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for configuration coordination for power efficient operation for new radio access technology (NR). The wireless device may receive/apply a first configuration of a first parameter, of which a value is selected by the network, from a network. Alternatively or additionally, the wireless device may receive a second configuration of a second parameter, which informs that the wireless device is allowed to select a value of the second parameter, from the network, and select/apply the value of the second parameter.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for handling overlap of multiple channels in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE), which operates in half-duplex frequency division duplex (FDD), determines that a periodic uplink (UL) transmission collides with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) reception in a subframe, and performs either the periodic UL transmission or the PDSCH reception in the subframe. When the periodic UL transmission corresponds to a semi-persistent scheduled (SPS) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), the PDSCH reception is performed.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for communicating with a long-term evolution in unlicensed spectrum (LTE-U) base station (BS) in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) receives a configuration of a potential transmission time unit (P-TTU), communicates with a first LTE-U BS of a first operator based on the configured P-TTU, and communicates with a second LTE-U BS of a second operator based on the configured P-TTU. The communication with the first LTE-U BS and the communication with the second LTE-U BS is multiplexed by time division multiplexing (TDM).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting a power headroom report (PHR) in a wireless communication system is provided. A user equipment (UE) transmits a first PHR for a first carrier group, which is configured by a first eNodeB (eNB), to a second eNB; and transmits ing a second PHR for a second carrier group, which is configured by the second eNB, to the first eNB. Te first PHR and the second PHR include a PHR for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) regardless of whether simultaneous transmission of the PUCCH and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) is configured or not.
Abstract:
As an aspect of handling different short transmission time intervals (TTIs) configured dynamically, the presnet invention provides a method and apparatus for transmitting an acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE receives, from a network, a configuration of multiple short TTIs, receives, from the network, a total downlink assignment index (DAI) per each short TTI separately, and transmits, to the network, a bundled ACK/NACK signal for the multiple short TTIs according to the total DAI per each short TTI.
Abstract:
Descriptions on the method and the apparatus for controlling uplink transmission power are provided. The method for controlling uplink transmission power comprises receiving a signal on a downlink channel, wherein the signal includes information on transmission power which indicates a power control mode, determining whether primary cell (PCell) and secondary cell (SCell) are asynchronous or synchronous, determining maximum transmission power for the SCell, using the information on transmission power, based on whether the PCell and the SCell are asynchronous or synchronous, and transmitting signal to the SCell based on the maximum transmission power for the SCell.

An embodiment of the present invention includes detecting a cell with primary synchronization signal (PSS) and/or secondary synchronization signal (SSS), detecting reference signal based on the detected synchronization signal, detecting broadcasting channel based on the detected reference signal and decoding master information block on the broadcasting channel, detecting system information block on a downlink data channel, transmitting random access preamble on random access channel based on a system information obtained from the system information block and receiving random access response corresponding to the random access preamble.
Abstract:
A method for and apparatus for performing synchronization in a wireless communication system is provided. A wireless device receives information including a set of subframes in which a discovery signal or a synchronization signal is transmitted, and a muting pattern which is changed according to a downlink (DL)/uplink(UL) configuration of a corresponding cell; receives the discovery signal or the synchronization signal from a cell based on the information; and performs synchronization, wherein the information is indicated to cells via air interface from a source cell.
