  • Patent number: 12010664
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmission and reception method of a radio signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system. According to the present specification, disclosed is a method comprising the steps of: determining whether or not transmission of an uplink radio signal or reception of a downlink radio signal allocated to a terminal is possible on a slot configured to comprise at least one of one or more downlink symbols for downlink transmission, one or more flexible symbols and one or more uplink symbols for uplink transmission; and controlling the transmission of the uplink radio signal or the reception of the downlink radio signal on the basis of the determination. According to the present invention, the terminal can transmit the uplink radio signal even if the configuration of the slot is changed, and thus uplink radio signal transmission omission or unnecessary retransmission of the uplink radio signal can be prevented.
