Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 12:
13. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station (BS), common information including first information on a number of repetitions for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for a message 3 (Msg 3) via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, wherein a plurality of candidate values of the number of repetitions for the PUSCH for the Msg 3 is configured based on the first information;
receiving, from the BS, a random access response (RAR) message including an uplink (UL) grant that schedules the PUSCH for the Msg 3;
identifying the number of repetitions for the PUSCH for the Msg 3 based on a field in the UL grant of RAR message, wherein a value of the field indicates one of the plurality of candidate values;
identifying whether to repeatedly transmit the PUSCH including the Msg 3 based on a comparison between a reference signal received power (RSRP) value and a threshold; and
transmitting, to the BS, the PUSCH including the Msg 3 based on the number of repetitions identified based on the value of the field,
wherein in case that the RSRP value is less than the threshold, the PUSCH including the Msg 3 is repeatedly transmitted to the BS.
