Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method for receiving remaining minimum system information (RMSI) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving an synchronization signal (SS)/physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block including an SS and a PBCH in a half-frame, obtaining, via the PBCH, information related to a monitoring window for receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for the RMSI, receiving the PDCCH within the monitoring window, and receiving the RMSI based on the PDCCH, wherein monitoring windows related to SS/PBCH blocks having consecutive indexes among SS/PBCH blocks receivable in the half-frame are at least partially overlapped each other.
