## Abstract

A transmission method of a base station is provided. The base station generates a physical channel or a physical signal using a physical resource block (PRB) that is a resource allocation unit in a frequency domain. The base station transmits the physical channel or the physical signal.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

-20. (canceled)

### Claim 21

A method for scheduling by a base station, the method comprising:
configuring a physical resource block (PRB) group including PRB(s) to which a numerology is applied, and the numerology for the PRB group to a terminal;
generating scheduling information including resource allocation information indicating at least one PRB among the PRB(s) constituting the PRB group; and
transmitting the scheduling information to the terminal,
wherein the numerology is defined by a subcarrier spacing and a cyclic prefix length, and each of the PRB(s) consists of a predetermined number of subcarriers whose subcarrier spacing is determined by the subcarrier spacing of the numerology.

### Claim 22 (depends on 21)

The method according to claim 21, wherein the PRB(s) constituting the PRB group are contiguous in a frequency domain.

### Claim 23 (depends on 21)

The method according to claim 21, further comprising transmitting to the terminal information indicating a position of a boundary of the PRB(s) constituting the PRB group.

### Claim 24 (depends on 21)

The method according to claim 21, wherein the PRB group and the numerology are configured to the terminal through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

### Claim 25 (depends on 21)

The method according to claim 21, further comprising transmitting to the terminal a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the scheduling information includes scheduling information for the PDSCH, and the PDSCH is transmitted on the at least one PRB indicated by the resource allocation information.

### Claim 26 (depends on 21)

The method according to claim 21, further comprising receiving from the terminal a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), wherein the scheduling information includes scheduling information for the PUSCH, and the PUSCH is received on the at least one PRB indicated by the resource allocation information.

### Claim 27 (depends on 21)

The method according to claim 21, wherein the scheduling information is transmitted to the terminal through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

### Claim 28 (depends on 21)

The method according to claim 21, further comprising configuring additional PRB group(s) to the terminal, wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) includes a PRB group index indicating one PRB group among the PRB group and the additional PRB group(s).

### Claim 29 (depends on 21)

The method according to claim 21, wherein the at least one PRB indicated by the resource allocation information is indicated to the terminal in a form of a bitmap wherein each bit of the bitmap corresponds to one of contiguous PRB(s) constituting the PRB group.

### Claim 30

A method for scheduling by a terminal, the method comprising:
being configured by a base station with a physical resource block (PRB) group including PRB(s) to which a numerology is applied, and the numerology for the PRB group; and
receiving from the base station scheduling information including resource allocation information indicating at least one PRB among the PRB(s) constituting the PRB group,
wherein the numerology is defined by a subcarrier spacing and a cyclic prefix length, and each of the PRB(s) consists of a predetermined number of subcarriers whose subcarrier spacing is determined by the subcarrier spacing of the numerology.

### Claim 31 (depends on 30)

The method according to claim 30, wherein the PRB(s) constituting the PRB group are contiguous in a frequency domain.

### Claim 32 (depends on 30)

The method according to claim 30, further comprising receiving from the base station information indicating a position of a boundary of the PRB(s) constituting the PRB group.

### Claim 33 (depends on 30)

The method according to claim 30, wherein the PRB group and the numerology are configured to the terminal through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

### Claim 34 (depends on 30)

The method according to claim 30, further comprising receiving from the base station a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), wherein the scheduling information includes scheduling information for the PDSCH, and the PDSCH is received on the at least one PRB indicated by the resource allocation information.

### Claim 35 (depends on 30)

The method according to claim 30, further comprising transmitting to the base station a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), wherein the scheduling information includes scheduling information for the PUSCH, and the PUSCH is transmitted on the at least one PRB indicated by the resource allocation information.

### Claim 36 (depends on 35)

The method according to claim 35, wherein the scheduling information is received from the base station through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

### Claim 37 (depends on 30)

The method according to claim 30, further comprising being configured with additional PRB group(s) from the base station, wherein a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) includes a PRB group index indicating one PRB group among the PRB group and the additional PRB group(s).

### Claim 38 (depends on 30)

The method according to claim 30, wherein the at least one PRB indicated by the resource allocation information is indicated to the terminal in a form of a bitmap wherein each bit of the bitmap corresponds to one of contiguous PRB(s) constituting the PRB group.
