In particular, the method comprises: receiving information informing of a mode associated with a repetitive use of a beam for a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS); and receiving a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block and the CSI-RS multiplexed on the basis of the mode, wherein the reception priority for the SS/PBCH block is higher than the reception priority for the CSI-RS. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of receiving a reference signal (RS) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving information informing a mode related to repetition of a beam for a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS); and receiving the CSI-RS and a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block which are multiplexed based on the mode, wherein, based on a subcarrier spacing for the SS/PBCH block being an integer multiple of a subcarrier spacing for the CSI-RS, the reception priority of the SS/PBCH block is identical to the reception priority of the CSI-RS. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the UE performs reception beam sweeping for a plurality of symbols including the SS/PBCH block. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the mode is for informing that a base station (BS) does not use the same beam repeatedly to transmit the CSI-RS. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the UE includes one antenna panel. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein channel state measurement is not based on the CSI-RS. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the SS/PBCH block and the CSI-RS are multiplexed in frequency division multiplexing (FDM). ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein, based on a signal for a reception priority configuration being received from a BS, the reception priorities of the SS/PBCH block and the CSI-RS are determined based on the received signal. ### Claim 8 A user equipment (UE) for receiving a reference signal (RS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising: a transceiver; and at least one processor coupled with the transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: control the transceiver to receive information informing a mode related to repetition of a beam for a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS), and control the transceiver to receive the CSI-RS and a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block which are multiplexed based on the mode, and wherein, based on a subcarrier spacing for the SS/PBCH block being an integer multiple of a subcarrier spacing for the CSI-RS, the reception priority of the SS/PBCH block is identical to the reception priority of the CSI-RS. ### Claim 9 An apparatus for receiving a reference signal (RS) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising: a memory;
