This application claims priority to Korean Patent Applications No. 10-2020-0072735 filed on Jun. 16, 2020, No. 10-2020-0078646 filed on Jun. 26, 2020, No. 10-2020-0133809 filed on Oct. 15, 2020, No. 10-2020-0143666 filed on Oct. 30, 2020, No. 10-2020-0150548 filed on Nov. 11, 2020, No. 10-2021-0007102 filed on Jan. 18, 2021, No. 10-2021-0046728 filed on Apr. 9, 2021, No. 10-2021-0060352 filed on May 10, 2021, and No. 10-2021-0075293 filed on Jun. 10, 2021 with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present disclosure relates to a technique of coverage extension in a communication system, and more specifically, to a technique of coverage extension for an uplink signal and/or channel.
The communication system (e.g., a new radio (NR) communication system) using a higher frequency band (e.g., a frequency band of 6 GHz or above) than a frequency band (e.g., a frequency band of 6 GHz or below) of the long term evolution (LTE) communication system (or, LTE-A communication system) is being considered for processing of soaring wireless data. The NR system may support not only a frequency band of 6 GHz or below, but also a frequency band of 6 GHz or above, and may support various communication services and scenarios compared to the LTE system. In addition, requirements of the NR system may include enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMBB), Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC), and Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC).

What is claimed is:1. An operation method of a terminal in a communication system, the operation method comprising:receiving first random access (RA) configuration information and second RA configuration information from a base station; transmitting a Msg1 to the base station based on the second RA configuration information; receiving a Msg2, which is a response to the Msg1, from the base station; and repeatedly transmitting a Msg3 K times to the base station, wherein the first RA configuration information is used when a first condition is satisfied, the Msg3 is not repeatedly transmitted in a first RA procedure according to the first RA configuration information, the second RA configuration information is used when the first condition is not satisfied, the Msg3 is repeatedly transmitted in a second RA procedure according to the second RA configuration information, and K is a natural number. 2. The operation method according to claim 1 , further comprising, before the transmitting of the Msg1, transmitting information indicating whether the terminal supports repeated transmission of the Msg3 to the base station. 3. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein a first RA preamble indicated by the first RA configuration information is distinguished from a second RA preamble indicated by the second RA configuration information, and the Msg1 is generated based on the second RA preamble. 4. The operation method according to claim 1 , wherein a first physical random access channel (PRACH) occasion indicated by the first RA configuration information is same as a second PRACH occasion indicated by the second RA configuration information, and the Msg1 according to the second RA configuration information is distinguished from a Msg1 according to the first RA configuration information by a PRACH mask. 5.
