     Although the present disclosure has been described based on a Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), and a next generation (also known as 5th generation or 5G) mobile communication network, the present disclosure will be limited only to the aforementioned communication systems and may, therefore, be applied to all communication system and methods to which the technical scope and spirit of the present disclosure can be applied. 
     As used herein, “A or B” may mean “only A”, “only B”, or “both A and B”. In other words, “A or B” herein may be understood as “A and/or B”. For example, “A, B or C” herein means “only A”, “only B”, “only C”, or any combination of A, B and C (any combination of A, B and C)”. 
     As used herein, a slash (/) or a comma may mean “and/or”. For example, “A/B” may mean “A and/or B”. Accordingly, “A/B” may mean “only A”, “only B”, or “both A and B”. For example, “A, B, C” may mean “A, B, or C”. 
     As used herein, “at least one of A and B” may mean “only A”, “only B”, or “both A and B”. In addition, the expression “at least one of A or B” or “at least one of A and/or B” may be understood as “At least one of A and B”. 
     In addition, in this specification, “at least one of A, B and C” may mean “only A”, “only B”, “only C”, or “any combination of A, B and C”. In addition, “at least one of A, B or C” or “at least one of A, B and/or C” may mean “at least one of A, B and C”. 
     In addition, the parentheses used herein may mean “for example”. In detail, when “control information (PDCCH(Physical Downlink Control Channel))” is written herein, “PDCCH” may be proposed as an example of “control information”. In other words, “control information” of the present specification is not limited to “PDCCH”, and “PDDCH” may be proposed as an example of “control information”. In addition, even when “control information (i.e. PDCCH)” is written, “PDCCH” may be proposed as an example of “control information”. 
     The technical features individually described in one drawing in this specification may be implemented separately or at the same time. 
     As used herein, ‘base station’ generally refers to a fixed station that communicates with a wireless device and may be denoted by other terms such as eNB (evolved-NodeB), BTS (base transceiver system), gNB (next-generation NodeB), or access point. 
     As used herein, ‘user equipment (UE)’ may be an example of a wireless communication device such as stationary or mobile. Also, UE may be denoted by other terms such as device, wireless device, terminal, MS (mobile station), UT (user terminal), SS (subscriber station), MT (mobile terminal) and etc. 
     The following description of this specification may be applied to a next-generation (also known as 5th generation or 5G) mobile communication network. 
       FIG. 1  Illustrates a Wireless Communication System. 
     As seen with reference to  FIG. 1 , the wireless communication system includes at least one base station (BS)  200 . Each base station  200  provides a communication service to specific geographical areas (generally, referred to as cells)  300   a ,  300   b , and  300   c . The cell can be further divided into a plurality of areas (sectors). 
     The UE  100  generally belongs to one cell and the cell to which the UE belong is referred to as a serving cell. A base station that provides the communication service to the serving cell is referred to as a serving BS. Since the wireless communication system is a cellular system, another cell that neighbors to the serving cell is present. Another cell which neighbors to the serving cell is referred to a neighbor cell. A base station that provides the communication service to the neighbor cell is referred to as a neighbor BS. The serving cell and the neighbor cell are relatively decided based on the UE. 
     Hereinafter, a downlink means communication from the base station  200  to the UE  100  and an uplink means communication from the UE  100  to the base station  200 . In the downlink, a transmitter may be a part of the base station  200  and a receiver may be a part of the UE  100 . In the uplink, the transmitter may be a part of the UE  100  and the receiver may be a part of the base station  200 . 
     Meanwhile, the wireless communication system may be generally divided into a frequency division duplex (FDD) type and a time division duplex (TDD) type. According to the FDD type, uplink transmission and downlink transmission are achieved while occupying different frequency bands. According to the TDD type, the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission are achieved at different time while occupying the same frequency band. A channel response of the TDD type is substantially reciprocal. This means that a downlink channel response and an uplink channel response are approximately the same as each other in a given frequency area. Accordingly, in the TDD based wireless communication system, the downlink channel response may be acquired from the uplink channel response. In the TDD type, since an entire frequency band is time-divided in the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission, the downlink transmission by the base station and the uplink transmission by the terminal may not be performed simultaneously. In the TDD system in which the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission are divided by the unit of a subframe, the uplink transmission and the downlink transmission are performed in different subframes. 
     &lt;Next-Generation Mobile Communication Network&gt; 
     Thanks to the success of long term evolution (LTE)/LTE-advanced (LTE-A) for 4G mobile communication, interest in the next generation, i.e., 5-generation (so called 5G) mobile communication has been increased and researches have been continuously conducted. 
     The 5G mobile telecommunications defined by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) refers to providing a data transmission rate of up to 20 Gbps and a feel transmission rate of at least 100 Mbps or more at any location. The official name is ‘IMT-2020’ and its goal is to be commercialized worldwide in 2020. 
     ITU proposes three usage scenarios, for example, enhanced Mobile Broad Band (eMBB) and massive machine type communication (mMTC) and ultra reliable and low latency communications (URLLC). 
     URLLC relates to usage scenarios that require high reliability and low latency. For example, services such as autonomous navigation, factory automation, augmented reality require high reliability and low latency (e.g., a delay time of 1 ms or less). Currently, the delay time of 4G (LTE) is statistically 21 to 43 ms (best 10%) and 33 to 75 ms (median). This is insufficient to support a service requiring a delay time of 1 ms or less. Next, an eMBB usage scenario relates to a usage scenario requiring a mobile ultra-wideband. 
     That is, the 5G mobile communication system aims at higher capacity than the current 4G LTE, may increase the density of mobile broadband users, and may support device to device (D2D), high stability and machine type communication (MTC). 5G research and development also aims at a lower latency time and lower battery consumption than a 4G mobile communication system to better implement the Internet of things. A new radio access technology (New RAT or NR) may be proposed for such 5G mobile communication. 
       FIGS. 2 a  to 2 c    are Exemplary Diagrams Illustrating Exemplary Architectures for Services of the Next Generation Mobile Communication. 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 a   , the UE is connected to LTE/LTE-A based cells and NR based cells in a dual connectivity (DC) manner. 
     The NR-based cell is connected to a core network for existing 4G mobile communication, that is, an evolved packet core (EPC). 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 b   , unlike  FIG. 2 a   , the LTE/LTE-A based cell is connected to a core network for the 5G mobile communication, that is, a next generation (NG) core network. 
     The service scheme based on the architecture as illustrated in  FIGS. 2 a    and  2 B is called non-standalone (NSA). 
     Referring to  FIG. 2 c   , the UE is connected only to NR-based cells. The service method based on such an architecture is called standalone (SA). 
     On the other hand, in the NR, it may be considered that the reception from the base station uses a downlink subframe, and the transmission to the base station uses an uplink subframe. This method may be applied to paired spectra and unpaired spectra. A pair of spectra means that the two carrier spectra are included for downlink and uplink operations. For example, in a pair of spectra, one carrier may include a downlink band and an uplink band that are paired with each other. 
     The NR supports a plurality of numerologies (e.g. a plurality of values of subcarrier spacing (SCS)) in order to support various 5G services. For example, when the SCS is 15 kHz, a wide area in traditional cellular bands is supported. When the SCS is 30 kHz/60 kHz, a dense-urban, lower-latency, and wider carrier bandwidth is supported. When the SCS is 60 kHz or greater, a bandwidth greater than 24.25 GHz is supported in order to overcome phase noise. 
     An NR frequency band may be defined as two types (FR1 and FR2) of frequency ranges. The frequency ranges may be changed. For example, the two types (FR1 and FR2) of frequency bands are illustrated in Table 1. For the convenience of description, among the frequency bands used in the NR system, FR1 may refer to a “sub-6-GHz range”, FR2 may refer to an “above-6-GHz range” and may be referred to as a millimeter wave (mmWave).

     As described above, the frequency ranges for the NR system may be changed. For example, FR1 may include a range from 410 MHz to 7125 MHz as illustrated in Table 2. That is, FR1 may include a frequency band of 6 GHz or greater (or 5850, 5900, 5925 MHz, or the like). For example, the frequency band of 6 GHz or greater (or 5850, 5900, 5925 MHz or the like) included in FR1 may include an unlicensed band. The unlicensed band may be used for various uses, for example, for vehicular communication (e.g., autonomous driving).

     &lt;SS Block in NR&gt; 
     In 5G NR, the UE defines a physical block channel (PBCH) including information required to perform an initial access, that is, a master information block (MIB) and a synchronization signal SS (including PSS and SSS). In addition, a plurality of SS blocks are bound to be defined as an SS burst, and a plurality of SS bursts are bound to be defined as an SS burst set. Each SS block is assumed to be beamformed in a specific direction, and several SS blocks in the SS burst set are designed to support UEs in different directions. 
       FIG. 3  is an Exemplary Diagram Illustrating an Example of an SS Block in NR. 
     Referring to  FIG. 3 , the SS burst is transmitted every predetermined periodicity. Therefore, the UE receives the SS block and performs cell detection and measurement. 
     On the other hand, in 5G NR, beam sweeping is performed on the SS. Hereinafter, it will be described with reference to  FIG. 4 . 
       FIG. 4  is an Exemplary Diagram Illustrating an Example of Beam Sweeping in NR. 
     The base station transmits each SS block in the SS burst with beam sweeping over time. At this time, the SS blocks in the SS burst set are transmitted in order to support UEs existing in different directions. In  FIG. 4 , the SS burst set includes SS blocks  1  to  6 , and each SS burst includes two SS blocks. 
     &lt;Carrier Aggregation&gt; 
     A carrier aggregation system is now described. 
     A carrier aggregation system aggregates a plurality of component carriers (CCs). A meaning of an existing cell is changed according to the above carrier aggregation. According to the carrier aggregation, a cell may signify a combination of a downlink component carrier and an uplink component carrier or an independent downlink component carrier. 
     Further, the cell in the carrier aggregation may be classified into a primary cell, a secondary cell, and a serving cell. The primary cell signifies a cell operated in a primary frequency. The primary cell signifies a cell which UE performs an initial connection establishment procedure or a connection reestablishment procedure or a cell indicated as a primary cell in a handover procedure. The secondary cell signifies a cell operating in a secondary frequency. Once the RRC connection is established, the secondary cell is used to provide an additional radio resource. 
     As described above, the carrier aggregation system may support a plurality of component carriers (CCs), that is, a plurality of serving cells unlike a single carrier system. 
     The carrier aggregation system may support a cross-carrier scheduling. The cross-carrier scheduling is a scheduling method capable of performing resource allocation of a PDSCH transmitted through other component carrier through a PDCCH transmitted through a specific component carrier and/or resource allocation of a PUSCH transmitted through other component carrier different from a component carrier basically linked with the specific component carrier. 
       FIG. 5  Shows an Example of Performing Measurement in NR Carrier Aggregation Case. 
     Referring to  FIG. 5 , the UE  100  is configured for a carrier aggregation with a first cell (e.g., PCell) and a second cell (e.g. SCell). Here, the Pcell may be an NR based cell, and the Scell may be an NR based cell. 
     The UE  100  may receive measurement configuration (or “measconfig”) information element (IE). The measurement configuration (or “measconfig”) IE may include fields shown in the following tables. 
     Table 5 is an example of the measurement configuration IE. The measurement configuration IE is not limited by examples shown in Table 6, The measurement configuration IE may include different information from the Table 5

     &lt;Disclosure of this Specification&gt; 
     The disclosure of this specification will describe operations of entities within a communication system, such as a UE (as an example of wireless communication device), a base station including a PCell and/or a SCell, etc. 
     For inter-band NR Carrier Aggregation (CA) in mmWave frequency range (e.g. FR 2), operation of User Equipment (UE) and gNB (next-generation NodeB) and whether the UE and the gNB supports FR 2 inter-band CA or not were not clearly defined. Also, timing requirements, such as MRTD (maximum receive timing difference) and MTTD (maximum transmit timing difference) for the FR 2 inter-band CA were not clearly defined. In this specification signaling toe resolve the unclearness is introduced. 
     For UE to perform communication based on inter-band CA in NR (hereinafter, also written as inter-band NR CA), minimum requirements are used. As examples of the minimum requirements, timing requirements for inter-band NR CA needs to be satisfied. For example, the timing requirements includes maximum receive timing difference (MRTD) and maximum transmit timing difference (MTTD). 
     For inter-band NR CA, the requirements of MRTD and MTTD were defined for 3 inter-band NR CA cases such as FR1 inter-band CA, FR2 inter-band CA and FR1+FR2 inter-band CA. 
     Herein, FR1 inter-band CA may mean inter-band CA configured with operating bands in FR 1. FR2 inter-band CA may mean inter-band CA configured with operating bands in FR2. FR1+FR2 inter-band CA may mean inter-band CA configured with at least one operating band in FR1 and at least one operating band in FR2. 
     Examples of MRTD and MTTD and detailed description of MTTD and MRTD are written below with Table 7 and Table 8. 
     Table 7 shows examples of MRTD for 3 inter-band NR CA cases.

     Frequency Range in Table 7 may mean Frequency Range of the pair of carriers configured for the inter-band NR CA. 
     A UE configured with inter-band NR CA shall be capable of handling a relative receive timing difference among the closest slot timing boundaries of different carriers, each received from
         one PCell configured with pTAG(primary Timing Advance Group) and at least one SCell configured with sTAG(seconday Timing Advance Group), to be aggregated in NR carrier aggregation in SA(NR standalone) or in NE-DC(NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity), or   Cells configured with more than one sTAG, to be aggregated in NR carrier aggregation in EN-DC       

     MRTD may mean allowed maximum value of the relative timing differences among the closest slot timing boundaries of slots, which are respectively received from the different carriers to be aggregated in the NR CA. 
     For inter-band NR carrier aggregation, the UE shall be capable of handling at least a relative receive timing difference between slot timing of all pairs of carriers to be aggregated at the UE receiver based on MRTD as examples shown in Table 7. 
     For example, based on Table 7, a UE configured with inter-band NR CA in FR2, relative timing differences among the closest slot timing boundaries of slots, which are respectively received form the different carriers (from a PCell in FR2 and a SCell in FR2) needs to be equal or less than 8 μs.

     Frequency Range in Table 8 may mean Frequency Range of the pair of carriers configured for the inter-band NR CA. 
     A UE configured with inter-band NR CA shall be capable of handling a relative transmission timing difference among the closest slot timing boundaries of different carriers, each transmitted to
         one PCell configured with pTAG and at least one SCell configured with sTAG, to be aggregated in NR carrier aggregation in SA(NR standalone) or in NE-DC, or   Cells configured with more than one sTAG, to be aggregated in NR carrier aggregation in EN-DC.       

     MTTD may mean allowed maximum value of the relative transmission timing difference among the closest slot timing boundaries of slots, which are respectively transmitted to the different carries to be aggregated in the NR CA. 
     For inter-band NR CA, the UE shall be capable of handling at least a relative transmission timing difference between slot timing of all pairs of carriers to be aggregated at the UE transmitter based on MTTD as examples shown in Table 8. 
     For example, based on Table 8, a UE configured with inter-band NR CA in FR2, relative transmission timing difference among the closest slot timing boundaries of slots, which are respectively transmitted to the different carriers (to a PCell in FR2 and a SCell in FR2) needs to be equal to or less than 8.5 μs. 
       FIG. 6  Shows an Example of Performing Communication Based on CA in NR. 
     In  FIG. 6 , CA is configured for UE  100 . PCell  200   a  and SCell  200   b  are configured for the CA to the UE  100 . 
     PCell  200   a  and SCell  200   b  may transmit data to UE  100 . 
     UE  100  may measure relative receive timing difference between a first receive timing from PCell  200   a  and a second receive timing form the SCell  200   b . The performance of UE  100  is guaranteed to provide that the measured relative receive timing difference does not exceed MRTD (e.g. values MRTD in examples of Table 7). 
     UE  100  may transmit data to PCell  200   a  and SCell  200   b . Relative timing difference between a first transmission timing to PCell  200   a  and a second transmission timing to SCell  200   b  does not exceed MTTD (e.g. values MTTD in examples of Table 8) 
     As explained with  FIG. 6 , requirements of MRTD and MTTD are applied to UE  100  configured with NR CA. 
     The requirements of MRTD of examples shown in Table 7 were defined by taking into account BS TAE(timing alignment error, 3us) and relative propagation delay difference with assumption of non-collocated BS(Base Station) as shown in Table 9.

     “collocated BS” and “BSs are collocated” may mean (i) a BS including a PCell of inter-band NR CA and a BS including a SCell of inter-band NR CA are same (also means that PCell and SCell are collocated within a BS), or (ii) a distance between the BS including the PCell of inter-band NR CA and the BS including the SCell of inter-band NR CA is equal to or less than a predetermined distance (for example, 10 meter). 
     “non-collocated BS” or “BSs are non-collocated” may mean the BS including the PCell of inter-band NR CA and the BS including the SCell of inter-band NR CA are not collocated. It may also means that the PCell and the SCell are not collocated. 
     In FR2, beam forming is mandated in UE side. That is, in NR, beam forming is mandated in UE side for performing communication based on operating bands in FR2. 
     However, when defining MRTD and MTTD for FR2 inter-band NR CA, the beam forming depending on implemented antenna type in the UE side was not considered. The implemented antenna type of the UE may include separated antennas or shared antenna. That is, the UE may be configured with the separated antennas or the shared antenna. 
     The separated antennas may mean that the UE may perform beam forming independently per an operating band among operating bands configured for FR2 inter-band NR CA simultaneously. The beam forming may be performed by the UE for receiving and/or transmitting signal. That is, the UE configured with separated antennas may perform communication based on beams orienting different directions simultaneously. The shared antenna may mean that the UE may perform single beam forming. The single beam forming may be performed by the UE for receiving and/or transmitting signal. That is, the UE configured with the shared antenna may perform communication based on a single beam orienting one direction. 
     For example, UE, which is configured for FR2 inter-band NR CA, may perform beam forming independently per an operating band among operating bands configured for FR2 inter-band NR CA or may perform single beam forming for one operating band among operating bands configured for FR2 inter-band NR CA, depending on implemented antenna type. That is why UE antenna can be implemented with separated antennas or shared antenna for supporting FR2 inter-band NR CA. 
     The current requirements of MRTD and MTTD are applicable for only separated antennas, i.e. UE supporting independent beam forming for FR2 inter-band NR CA. However, using separated antenna per an operating band is not mandated in the UE side. In other words, UE can also perform beam forming with shared antenna for FR2. 
     So, the impact by different antenna architecture (antenna type) needs to be analyzed and considered for the requirements, such as MRTD and MTTD. Also, a locational relationship (deployment type) of BSs, such as whether BSs for inter-band NR CA are collocated or non-collocated, needs to be considered for the requirements, such as MRTD and MTTD. 
     Hereinafter, detailed examples and detailed explanation related to FR2 inter-band CA based on antenna type of a UE and/or deployment type of BS (the locational relationship of BSs) are disclosed, but the present specification is not limited thereto. Various technical features may be described herein. 
     (1) UE capable of FR2 inter-band NR CA with shared antenna. 
     The UE capable of FR2 inter-band NR CA with shared antenna may perform single beam forming for a corresponding CC (component carrier) at same time. That is, only single beam forming for the corresponding CC is possible for the UE. 
     In this case, if deployed with non-collocated NR BS (if non-collocated NR BSs are configured for FR2 inter-band NR CA for a UE), the simultaneous transmission or simultaneous reception for FR2 inter-band NR CA cannot be expected for the UE, so that the requirements of MRTD and MTTD, such as examples shown in Table 7 and Table 8, are not applicable. 
     However, if deployed under collocated BS (if collocated NR BSs are configured for FR2 inter-band NR CA for a UE), the requirements of MRTD and MTTD, such as examples shown in Table 7 and Table 8, can be reused with the requirements for FR2 intra-band non-contiguous NR CA with collocated deployment. 
     (2) UE capable of FR2 inter-band NR CA with separated antennas. 
     The UE capable of FR2 inter-band NR CA with separated antenna per operating band, may perform independent beam forming for each CC among CCs, which are configured for the FR2 inter-band CA, at same time. That is, independent beam forming for each CC is possible simultaneously at same time for the UE capable of FR2 inter-band NR CA with the separated antennas. 
     So, the current requirements of MRTD (8us) and MTTD(8.5us), such as examples shown in Table 7 and Table 8, for FR2 inter-band NR CA are applicable. 
     As seen above with (1) and (2), the requirements of MRTD and MTTD for FR2 inter-band NR CA can be different(applicable or not applicable) according to deployment type of BSs (collocated BS or non-collocated BS) and antenna type of the UE (UE supporting independent beam forming per band or not). 
     Referring to exemplary cases shown in the following  FIGS. 7 to 9 , applicability of FR2 inter-band NR CA and requirements for the FR2 inter-band NR CA based on the antenna type of the UE and/or deployment type of BSs is explained. Also, power saving in addition to the requirements for the FR2 inter-band NR CA is explained. 
     The following drawings ( FIGS. 7 to 18 ) are created to explain specific examples of the present specification. The names of the specific devices or the names of the specific signals/messages/fields shown in the drawings are provided by way of example, and thus the technical features of the present specification are not limited to the specific names used in the following drawings ( FIGS. 7 to 19 ). 
       FIG. 7  is a Flow Chart Showing a First Example of Signaling Related to FR 2 Inter-Band CA According to a Disclosure of this Specification. 
     According to  FIG. 7 , UE and PCell are connected. PCell may transmit cell information to the UE. The UE may receive cell information from PCell. The cell information informs the UE that PCell and SCell are collocated or non-collocated. 
     If gNB including PCell transmits the cell information (informing PCell and SCell are collocated or non-collocated) to the UE. The UE may know whether FR2 inter-band CA is supported by the UE or not based on the cell information and capability of the UE (for example, antenna type of the UE). The capability of the UE may includes information related to whether the UE supports independent beam forming per band or not. For example, the capability of the UE includes information related to antenna type of the UE. The antenna type of the UE may be a shared antenna or separated antennas. 
     In this case, if the UE does not transmit any capability information including the antenna type of the UE to the gNB including PCell, the followings are disclosed. 
     (1) Non-collocated NR BS (FR2): the cell information informs the UE that PCell and SCell are non-collocated 
     1-a) UE configured with separated antenna per an operating band (the antenna type of the UE is separated antennas)
         The UE can support FR2 inter-band NR CA. It is because the UE may perform independent beam forming per operating bands for PCell and SCell, which are non-collocated.   Requirements of MRTD (8 μs) and MTTD(8.5 μs), as shown in the examples of Table 7 and Table 8, are applicable       

     1-b) UE configured with shared antenna (the antenna type of the UE is shared antenna)
         The UE cannot support FR2 inter-band NR CA. It is because the UE may perform single beam forming for on operating band but PCell and SCell are non-collocated. Thus, the UE cannot receive or transmit signal with respect to PCell and SCell at same time.   Requirements of MRTD and MTTD, such as examples shown in Table 7 and Table 8, are not applicable to the UE. It is because the UE cannot support FR2 inter-band NR CA.   If the UE does not transmit any capability information including the antenna type of the UE (information related to that the UE does not support beam forming per operating band) to the gNB including PCell, the gNB including PCell cannot know that the UE cannot support FR2 inter-band NR CA. That is, there is no way for the gNB to stop configuring FR2 inter-band NR CA to the corresponding UE. Then, even if the gNB configures inter-band NR CA for the UE, the UE may not detect signals from the SCell and may perform communication with the PCell.       

     (2) Collocated NR BS (FR2): the cell information informs the UE that PCell and SCell are collocated 
     2-a) UE configured with separated antenna per band (the antenna type of the UE is separated antennas)
         The UE can support FR2 inter-band NR CA.   Requirements of MRTD (8 μs) and MTTD(8.5 μs), as shown in examples of Table 7 and Table 8, are applicable. Also, smaller values of the requirements of MRTD and MTTD for intra-band non-contiguous NR CA can be applicable because PCell and SCell are collocated. Based on that the PCell and the SCell are collocated, propagation delay difference of signals each from the PCell and the SCell may be 0, thus the requirements of MRTD and MTTD may become smaller.   The UE may turn off one antenna among separated antennas to save power. In other words, the UE can perform power saving by turning off one antenna among separated antennas. It is because the UE can support NR inter-band CA based on one antenna for collocated PCell and SCell.       

     2-b) UE configured with shared antenna (the antenna type of the UE is shared antenna)
         The UE can support FR2 inter-band NR CA. It is because PCell and SCell are collocated.   Requirements of MRTD (8us) and MTTD (8.5us), such as examples shown in Table 7 and Table 8, are applicable. Also, smaller values of the requirements of MRTD and MTTD for intra-band non-contiguous NR CA can be also applicable because PCell and SCell is collocated. Based on that the PCell and the SCell are collocated, propagation delay difference of signals each from the PCell and the SCell may be 0, thus the requirements of MRTD and MTTD may become smaller.       

       FIG. 8  is a Flow Chart Showing a Second Example of Signaling Related to FR 2 Inter-Band CA According to a Disclosure of this Specification. 
     According to  FIG. 8 , UE and PCell are connected. UE may transmit capability information. The capability information includes information related to whether the UE supports independent beam forming per an operating band or not. For example, the capability of the UE includes information related to antenna type of the UE. The antenna type of the UE may be a shared antenna or separated antennas. 
     Based on reception of the capability information, the PCell may know the capability of the UE. For example, the PCell may know the capability of UE for supporting independent beam forming per operating band, which is configured for FR 2 inter-band NR CA. 
     If the UE transmits the capability information to the PCell, the PCell can configure FR2 inter-band CA with SCell to the corresponding UE based on the capability information and deployment type of BSs (collocated BS or non-collocated BS). For example, the capability information may includes information that the antenna type of the UE is a shared antenna which does not support the independent beam forming per band for FR 2 inter-band NR CA or includes information that the antenna type of the UE is separated antennas which support the independent beam forming per band for FR 2 inter-band NR CA. 
     In the second example shown in  FIG. 9 , if the PCell does not transmit cell information related to the deployment type of BSs, the followings are disclosed. 
     (1) UE configured with separated antennas supporting beam forming per an operating band. 
     1-a) Non-collocated NR BS (FR2): the PCell and the SCell are not collocated.
         The gNB(PCell) may configure FR2 inter-band NR CA to the corresponding UE.   Requirements of MRTD(8us) and MTTD(8.5us), as shown in the examples of Table 7 and Table 8, are applicable to the UE.       

     1-b) Collocated NR BS (FR2): the PCell and the SCell are collocated.
         The gNB (PCell) may configure FR2 inter-band NR CA to the corresponding UE.   Also, smaller values of the requirements of MRTD and MTTD for intra-band non-contiguous NR CA can be applicable to the corresponding UE because PCell and SCell is collocated. However, Requirements of MRTD(8us) and MTTD(8.5us), as shown in the examples of Table 7 and Table 8, may be applied to the UE, because the UE does not know the deployment type of BSs (the UE does not know that the PCell and the SCell are collocated).   Even if the UE is configured with separated antennas, the UE cannot turn off one of the separated antennas for power saving because the UE does not know the deployment type of BSs that the PCell and the SCell are collocated.       

     (2) UE configured with a shared antenna, which does not support beam forming per an operating band. 
     2-a) Non-collocated NR BS (FR2): the PCell and the SCell are not collocated.
         The UE configured with the shared antenna cannot support FR 2 inter-band CA. It is because the UE cannot communicate with both of the PCell and the SCell at same time due to single beam forming performed with the shared antenna.   The gNB (PCell) may stop configure FR2 inter-band NR CA with the SCell to the corresponding UE. For example, the gNB (PCell) won&#39;t configure FR2 inter-band CA with the SCell to the corresponding UE. It is because the UE configured with the shared antenna cannot perform communication with both of the PCell and the SCell at same time.   Requirements of MRTD and MTTD are not applicable to the UE. It is because the UE cannot support inter-band CA with the PCell and the SCell, which are not collocated.       

     2-b) Collocated NR BS (FR2): the PCell and the SCell are collocated.
         The UE can support FR 2 inter-band NR CA with the PCell and the SCell. It is because the UE may perform beam forming orienting   The gNB (PCell) may configure FR2 inter-band CA to the UE.   Also, smaller values of the requirements of MRTD and MTTD for intra-band non-contiguous NR CA can be applicable to the corresponding UE because PCell and SCell is collocated. However, Requirements of MRTD(8us) and MTTD(8.5us), as shown in the examples of Table 7 and Table 8, may be applied to the UE, because the UE does not know the deployment type of BSs (the UE does not know that the PCell and the SCell are collocated).       

       FIGS. 9 a  and 9 b    is a Flow Chart Showing a Third Example of Signaling Related to FR 2 Inter-Band CA According to a Disclosure of this Specification. 
     The third example of signaling related to FR2 inter-band CA is a combination of the first example shown in  FIG. 7  and the second example shown in  FIG. 8 . 
     The gNB (PCell) may transmit cell information to the UE and the UE may transmit capability information to the gNB (PCell). For example, as shown in  FIG. 9 a   , a transmission of cell information may be performed first and a transmission of capability information may be performed after the transmission of the cell information. For example, as shown in  FIG. 9 b   , a transmission of capability information may be performed first and a transmission of cell information may be performed after the transmission of the capability information. 
     According to the third example shown in  FIGS. 9 a  and 9 b   , the UE receives cell information, which is related to that the gNB(PCell) and gNB(the SCell) are collocated or non-collocated. The gNB receives the capability information related to supporting of independent beam forming per an operating band for FR2 inter-band NR CA. 
     The UE may know whether the PCell and the SCell are collocated or non-collocated based on the cell information. The PCell may know whether the UE is configured with a shared antenna or separated antennas based on the capability information. 
     The gNB (PCell) gives information of collocated or non-collocated BS to the UE and based on that the UE gives capability information of supporting independent beam forming per band for FR2 inter-band NR CA to gNB. The UE may know whether FR2 inter-band NR CA is supported by the UE or not based on the cell information and the capability information related to supporting independent beam forming per an operating band. The gNB (PCell) may configure the FR2 inter-band NR CA to the UE based on considering the capability information and deployment type(collocated BS or non-collocated BS). In this case, the followings can be disclosed. 
     (1) Non-collocated NR BS (FR2): the cell information informs the UE that PCell and SCell are non-collocated 
     1-a) UE configured with separated antenna per an operating band (the antenna type of the UE is separated antennas)
         The UE can support FR2 inter-band NR CA. It is because the UE may perform independent beam forming per operating bands for PCell and SCell, which are non-collocated.   The gNB(PCell) may configure FR2 inter-band NR CA to the UE.   Requirements of MRTD(8us) and MTTD(8.5us), as shown in the examples of Table 7 and Table 8, are applicable to the UE.       

     1-b) UE configured with shared antenna (the antenna type of the UE is shared antenna)
         The UE cannot support FR2 inter-band NR CA. It is because the UE may perform single beam forming for on operating band but PCell and SCell are non-collocated. Thus, the UE cannot receive or transmit signal with respect to PCell and SCell at same time.   The gNB (PCell) may stop configure FR2 inter-band NR CA with the SCell to the corresponding UE. For example, the gNB (PCell) won&#39;t configure FR2 inter-band CA with the SCell to the corresponding UE. It is because the UE configured with the shared antenna cannot perform communication with both of the PCell and the SCell at same time.   Requirements of MRTD and MTTD are not applicable to the UE. It is because the UE cannot support inter-band CA with the PCell and the SCell, which are not collocated.       

     (2) Collocated NR BS (FR2): the cell information informs the UE that PCell and SCell are collocated 
     1-a) UE configured with separated antenna per an operating band (the antenna type of the UE is separated antennas)
         The UE can support FR2 inter-band NR CA.   The gNB (PCell) may configure FR2 inter-band CA to the UE.   Requirements of MRTD (8 μs) and MTTD(8.5 μs), as shown in examples of Table 7 and Table 8, are applicable. Also, smaller values of the requirements of MRTD and MTTD for intra-band non-contiguous NR CA can be applicable because PCell and SCell is collocated.   The UE can turn off one antenna among separated antennas to saving power. In other words, the UE can perform power saving by turning off one antenna among separated antennas. It is because the UE can support NR inter-band CA based on one antenna for collocated PCell and SCell.       

     1-b) UE configured with shared antenna (the antenna type of the UE is shared antenna)
         The UE can support FR2 inter-band NR CA.   The gNB (PCell) may configure FR2 inter-band CA to the UE.   Requirements of MRTD (8 μs) and MTTD(8.5 μs), as shown in examples of Table 7 and Table 8, are applicable. Also, smaller values of the requirements of MRTD and MTTD for intra-band non-contiguous NR CA can be applicable because PCell and SCell is collocated.       

     According to 3 examples as explained above with  FIGS. 7 to 9   b , the current requirements of MRTD(8us) and MTTD(8.5us), as shown in examples of Table 7 and Table 8, for FR2 inter-band NR CA are limited to be applied to UE configured with separated beams. The UE configured with the separated beams supports simultaneously independent beam forming under non-collocated NR BS. 
     The current requirements of MRTD and MTTD for FR 2 inter-band CA need to be revised by considering the deployment type of BSs (collocated BS or non-collocated BS) and UE capability of supporting independent beam forming per an operating band. The current MRTD and MTTD for FR2 inter-band CA need to be revised based on the 3 examples explained above with  FIGS. 7 to 9   b.    
     For revising the current requirements of MRTD and MTTD, signaling of the cell information includes deployment type of BS and/or signaling of capability information includes UE capability supporting independent beam forming per an operating band are needed. 
     The following note may be added to requirements for MRTD and MTTD. The following note may be added by considering deployment type of BS and UE capability supporting independent beam forming per an operating band.
         Note 1:: If Cells to be aggregated in inter-band NR CA are non-collocated, it is not applicable for UE not supporting independent beam forming. If the cells are collocated, 3 us is also applicable.       

     In Note 1, an example of Cells to be aggregated in the inter-band NR CA may be a PCell and a SCell. 
     The following Table 11 and Table 12 are examples of adding the Note 1, which is explained above, to Table 7 and Table 8.

     Signaling of information related to deployment type of BS for FR2 inter-band NR CA may be defined. For example, PCell may transmit cell information, which includes first information that the PCell is collocated with SCell within a base station or second information that the PCell is not collocated with the SCell to UE. 
     Signaling of UE capability information related to that the UE supports independent beam forming per an operating band for FR2 may be defined. For example, a UE may transmit capability information to PCell. The capability information may include information related to antenna type of the UE. The antenna type of the UE may be configured as a shared antenna or separated antennas for supporting independent beam forming per an operating band for FR2 inter-band CA. 
     Requirements for MRTD and MTTD for FR 2 inter-band NR CA by considering the deployment type of BSs (collocated BS or non-collocated BS) and UE capability of supporting independent beam forming per an operating band may be defined. 
     The following Table 13 and Table 14 are examples of requirements for MRTD and MTTD for FR 2 inter-band NR CA by considering the deployment type of BSs and UE capability.

     Table 14 shows examples of requirements for MTTD. For example, if gNB deployment type is non-collocated and the UE is configured with a shared antenna, MTTD is not applicable for FR 2 inter-band CA. 
     The following Table 15 and Table 16 are another examples of the requirements for MRTD and MTTD for FR 2 inter-band NR CA by considering the deployment type of BSs and UE capability. For collocated NR BS(PCell and SCell are collocated), the requirements of FR2 intra-band non-contiguous NR CA are reused for MRTD and MTTD for FR2 inter-band NR CA. For example, MRTD is 3 us and MTTD is not defined for the requirements of FR 2 intra-band non-contiguous NR CA. MRTD of 3 us and MTTD that is not defined may be revised if MRTD and MTTD for FR2 intra-band non-contiguous NR CA are changed. For example, MRTD may be 4 us and MTTD may be 5 us.

       FIG. 10  is a Flow Chart Showing an Example of Operation of Wireless Communication Device According to a Disclosure of this Specification. 
       FIG. 10  shows an example of the operation of the wireless communication device (e.g. UE). The wireless communication device may perform operations, explained above with  FIGS. 1 to 9   b , related to the UE. Operation of the UE is not limited to  FIG. 10 . 
     In step S 1001 , the wireless communication device may receive cell information form a PCell. The cell information may include first information that the PCell is collocated with a SCell within a base station or second information that the PCell is not collocated with the SCell. The SCell and the PCell may use different operating bands to be configured for the inter-band CA. 
     In step S 1002 , the wireless communication device may perform communication. For example, the wireless communication device may perform the communication with at least one of the PCell and the SCell. The PCell and the SCell may be configured for the inter-band CA. The communication may be performed based on the cell information and an antenna type of the wireless communication device. 
     The antenna type of the wireless communication device may be configured as a shared antenna for operating bands or separated antennas for each of the operating bands. 
     The communication may be performed with both of the PCell and the SCell, based on that the antenna type of the wireless communication device is configured as the separated antennas and based on that the second information is included in the cell information. 
     The communication may be performed with the PCell, based on that the antenna type of the wireless communication device is configured as the shared antenna and based on that the second information is included in the cell information. 
     MRTD and/or MTTD may be applied to the wireless communication device while performing the communication. 
     For example, the communication with the both of the Pcell and SCell may be performed based on a relative receive timing difference between a first receive timing from the Pcell and a second receive timing from the SCell. The relative receiving timing difference may not exceed MRTD. 
     The communication with the both of the PCell and SCell may be performed such that a relative transmission timing difference between a first transmission timing to the Pcell and a second transmission timing to the SCell. The relative transmission timing difference may not exceed a maximum transmission timing difference. 
     MRTD may be set based on the cell information and the antenna type of the wireless communication device. For example, Table 7, 9, 11, 13 and/or 15 may be used for the MRTD 
     MTTD may be set based on the cell information and the antenna type of the wireless communication device. For example, Table 8, 19, 12, 14 and/or 16 may be used for the MTTD. 
     Before or after step S 1001  is performed, the wireless communication device may transmit capability information related to the antenna type of the wireless communication device to the PCell. The capability information may inform the PCell that the wireless communication device is configured with the shared antenna or separated antennas. 
       FIG. 11  is a flow chart showing an example of operation of base station according to a disclosure of this specification. 
       FIG. 11  shows an example of the operation of the base station, which includes PCell. The base station may perform operations, explained above with  FIGS. 1 to 9   b , related to the PCell, base station and gNB. Operation of the base station is not limited to  FIG. 11 . 
     In step S 1101 , the base station may receive capability information from a wireless communication device. The capability information is related to an antenna type of the wireless communication device. 
     In step S 1102 , the base station may determine an applicability of the inter-band CA. For example, the base station may determine the applicability of the inter-band CA with the PCell and a SCell based on the capability information and cell information. The cell information may include first information that the PCell is collocated with the SCell within the base station or second information that the PCell is not collocated with the SCell. The SCell and the PCell use different operating bands to be configured for the inter-band CA. 
     For example, the applicability of the inter-band CA may be determined to be applicable, based on that the first information is included in the cell information. For example, the applicability of the inter-band CA may be determined to be applicable, based on that the antenna type of the wireless communication device is separated antennas and based on that the second information is included in the cell information. For example, the applicability of the inter-band CA may be determined to be not applicable, based on that the antenna type of the wireless communication device is a shared antenna and based on that the second information is included in the cell information. 
     The base station may transmit the cell information to the wireless communication device. The cell information may informs the wireless communication device that the PCell and SCell are collocated or not collocated. 
     In step S 1103 , the base station may perform communication based on the applicability of the inter-band CA. 
     The base station may perform the communication based on configuring inter-band CA or not configuring inter-band CA according to the applicability of the inter-band CA. For example, the base station may configure the inter-band CA with the PCell and the SCell, based on that the applicability of the inter-band CA is determined to be applicable. For example, the base station may not configure the inter-band CA with the PCell and the SCell, based on that the applicability of the inter-band CA is determined to be not applicable.

     The hardware element of  FIG. 14  may be implemented in the processors  102  and  202  and/or the transceivers  106  and  206  of  FIG. 13 . For example, blocks  1010 - 1060  may be implemented in the processors  102 ,  202  of  FIG. 13 . Also, blocks  1010 - 1050  may be implemented in the processors  102  and  202  of  FIG. 13 , and block  1060  may be implemented in the transceivers  106  and  206  of  FIG. 13 . 
     The codeword may be converted into a wireless signal through the signal processing circuit  1000  of  FIG. 14 . Here, the codeword is an encoded bit sequence of the information block. The information block may include a transport block (e.g., a UL-SCH transport block and a DL-SCH transport block). The wireless signal may be transmitted through various physical channels (e.g., PUSCH, PDSCH). 
     In detail, the codeword may be converted into a scrambled bit sequence by the scrambler  1010 . The scramble sequence used for scramble is generated based on the initialization value, and the initialization value may include ID information of the wireless device. The scrambled bit sequence may be modulated into a modulation symbol sequence by the modulator  1020 . The modulation scheme may include pi/2-Binary Phase Shift Keying (pi/2-BPSK), m-Phase Shift Keying (m-PSK), m-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (m-QAM), and the like. 
     The complex modulation symbol sequence may be mapped to one or more transport layers by the layer mapper  1030 . The modulation symbols of each transport layer may be mapped (precoding) to the corresponding antenna port (s) by the precoder  1040 . The output z of the precoder  1040  may be obtained by multiplying the output y of the layer mapper  1030  by the precoding matrix W of N*M. Where N is the number of antenna ports and M is the number of transport layers. Here, the precoder  1040  may perform precoding after performing transform precoding (e.g., DFT transform) on complex modulation symbols. Also, the precoder  1040  may perform precoding without performing transform precoding. 
     The resource mapper  1050  may map modulation symbols of each antenna port to time-frequency resources. The time-frequency resource may include a plurality of symbols (e.g., CP-OFDMA symbols, DFT-s-OFDMA symbols) in the time domain, and may include a plurality of subcarriers in the frequency domain. The signal generator  1060  generates a radio signal from the mapped modulation symbols, and the generated radio signal may be transmitted to another device through each antenna. To this end, the signal generator  1060  may include an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) module, a Cyclic Prefix (CP) inserter, a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), a frequency uplink converter, and the like. 
     The signal processing procedure for the received signal in the wireless device may be configured in the reverse manner of the signal processing procedures  1010   ˜   1060  of  FIG. 14 . For example, a wireless device (e.g.,  100  and  200  of  FIG. 13 ) may receive a wireless signal from the outside through an antenna port/transceiver. The received wireless signal may be converted into a baseband signal through a signal recoverer. To this end, the signal recoverer may include a frequency downlink converter, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a CP canceller, and a fast fourier transform (FFT) module. Thereafter, the baseband signal may be restored to a codeword through a resource de-mapper process, a postcoding process, a demodulation process, and a de-scramble process. The codeword may be restored to the original information block through decoding. Thus, signal processing circuitry (not shown) for the received signal may include a signal recoverer, a resource de-mapper, a postcoder, a demodulator, a de-scrambler and a decoder.
