Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a terminal, a wireless communication method, a base station, and a system in a next-generation mobile communication system. Background Art

[0007] Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0008] In a future wireless communication system (e.g., NR after Rel.17), as a beam indication method for the uplink (UL) of a user terminal (user terminal, user equipment (UE)), the UL transmission setting indication state (Uplink Transmission Configuration Indication state (UL TCI state)) is being studied.

[0009] However, considering the UL TCI state, spatial relation information, etc. that are scheduled to be adopted in future wireless communication systems, how the UE determines parameters related to UL transmit power control has not been studied. If the parameters related to UL transmit power control cannot be determined appropriately, there is a concern that the communication throughput may decrease.

[0010] Therefore, one of the objects of the present disclosure is to provide a terminal, a wireless communication method, and a base station that can appropriately determine parameters related to UL transmit power control.

[0037] (TCI, Spatial Relationship, QCL)

[0038] In NR, it is being studied that: based on the Transmission Configuration Indication state (TCI state), the UE controls the reception processing (for example, at least one of reception, demapping, demodulation, decoding) and transmission processing (for example, at least one of transmission, mapping, precoding, modulation, coding) of at least one of the control signal and the channel (which may also be expressed as signal / channel. In the present disclosure, it may also be replaced with "at least one of A and B" in the same way as "A / B").

[0039] The TCI state may also represent the state of the signal / channel applied to the downlink. The state corresponding to the TCI state of the signal / channel applied to the uplink may also be expressed as a spatial relation.

[0040] The TCI state refers to information related to the Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) of the signal / channel, and may also be referred to as a spatial reception parameter, Spatial Relation Information, etc. The TCI state may also be set for the UE for each channel or each signal.

[0041] QCL is an indicator representing the statistical properties of a signal / channel. For example, in the case where a certain signal / channel has a QCL relationship with other signals / channels, it can also mean that among these multiple different signals / channels, at least one of Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, and spatial parameter (e.g., spatial Rx parameter) can be assumed to be the same (at least one of these is QCL).

[0042] In addition, the spatial Rx parameter can also correspond to the receiving beam of the UE (e.g., receiving analog beam), and the beam can also be determined based on spatial QCL. The QCL (or an element of at least one of the QCLs) in the present disclosure can also be replaced by sQCL (spatial QCL).

[0043] QCL can also be defined in multiple types (QCL types). For example, four different QCL types A - D can be set with different parameters (or parameter sets) that can be assumed to be the same. Hereinafter, the parameters (which can also be referred to as QCL parameters) are represented:

[0044] · QCL type A (QCL - A): Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, and delay spread,

[0045] · QCL type B (QCL - B): Doppler shift and Doppler spread,

[0046] · QCL type C (QCL - C): Doppler shift and average delay,

[0047] · QCL type D (QCL - D): spatial Rx parameter.

[0048] Types A to C can also correspond to QCL information related to the synchronization process with at least one of time and frequency, and type D can also correspond to QCL information related to beam control.

[0049] When the UE assumes that a specific control resource set (Control Resource Set (CORESET)), channel, or reference signal has a specific QCL (e.g., QCL type D) relationship with other CORESETs, channels, or reference signals, it can also be called a QCL assumption.

[0050] The UE can also determine at least one of the transmission beam (Tx beam) and the reception beam (Rx beam) of the signal / channel based on the TCI state or QCL assumption of the signal / channel.

[0051] The TCI state can also be, for example, information related to the QCL of the channel (or the reference signal (Reference Signal (RS)) used for the channel) that is the object and other signals (e.g., other downlink reference signals (Downlink Reference Signal (DL-RS))). The TCI state can also be set (indicated) by higher layer signaling, physical layer signaling, or a combination thereof.

[0052] In the present disclosure, the higher layer signaling can also be, for example, any one of radio resource control (Radio Resource Control (RRC)) signaling, medium access control (Medium Access Control (MAC)) signaling, broadcast information, etc., or a combination thereof.

[0053] The MAC signaling can also use, for example, MAC control element (MAC Control Element (MAC CE)), MAC protocol data unit (MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU)), etc. The broadcast information can also be, for example, master information block (Master Information Block (MIB)), system information block (System Information Block (SIB)), minimum system information (remaining minimum system information (Remaining Minimum System Information (RMSI))), other system information (Other System Information (OSI)), etc.

[0054] The physical layer signaling can also be, for example, downlink control information (Downlink Control Information (DCI)).

[0055] In addition, the channel / signal that is the application object of the TCI state can also be referred to as the target channel / RS (target channel / RS), and can also be abbreviated as the target, etc. The above other signals can also be referred to as reference RS (reference RS), and can also be abbreviated as the reference, etc.

[0056] A channel configured (specified) with a TCI state or a spatial relation may also be, for example, at least one of a downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)), a downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH)), an uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)), and an uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)).

[0057] In addition, an RS in a QCL relationship with the channel may also be, for example, at least one of a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), a measurement reference signal (Sounding Reference Signal (SRS)), a CSI-RS for tracking (also referred to as a Tracking Reference Signal (TRS)), and a reference signal for QCL detection (also referred to as a QRS).

[0058] An SSB is a signal block including at least one of a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), and a broadcast channel (Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH)). An SSB may also be referred to as an SS / PBCH block.

[0059] The UE may also receive, via higher layer signaling, configuration information (e.g., PDSCH-Config, tci-StatesToAddModList) including a list of information elements of TCI states.

[0060] The information element of the TCI state set by high-layer signaling (the "TCI-state IE" of RRC) may also include the TCI state ID, one or more QCL information ("QCL-Info"). The QCL information may also include at least one of information related to the RS that becomes the QCL relationship (RS relationship information) and information indicating the QCL type (QCL type information). The RS relationship information may also include information such as the index of the RS (e.g., SSB index, Non-Zero-Power (NZP) CSI-RS resource ID (Identifier)), the index of the cell where the RS is located, and the index of the bandwidth part (Bandwidth Part (BWP)) where the RS is located.

[0061] In Rel.15 NR, as the TCI state of at least one of PDCCH and PDSCH, both the RS of QCL type A and the RS of QCL type D, or only the RS of QCL type A can be set for the UE.

[0062] When the TRS is set as the RS of QCL type A, it is assumed that the TRS is different from the DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) for demodulating PDCCH or PDSCH, and the same TRS is sent periodically for a long time. The UE can measure the TRS and calculate the average delay, delay spread, etc.

[0063] The UE in which the TRS is set as the RS of QCL type A in the TCI state of the DMRS of PDCCH or PDSCH can assume that the parameters of QCL type A (average delay, delay spread, etc.) of the DMRS of PDCCH or PDSCH are the same as those of the TRS. Therefore, the parameters of type A (average delay, delay spread, etc.) of the DMRS of PDCCH or PDSCH can be obtained based on the measurement results of the TRS. When the UE performs channel estimation of at least one of PDCCH and PDSCH, the UE can use the measurement results of the TRS to perform more accurate channel estimation.

[0064] The UE set with the RS of QCL type D can use the RS of QCL type D to determine the UE receive beam (spatial domain receive filter, UE spatial domain receive filter).

[0065] The RS of QCL type X in the TCI state may also mean the RS having a QCL type X relationship with a certain channel / signal (DMRS), and this RS may also be called the QCL source of QCL type X in this TCI state.

[0066] Figure 1This is an example of a diagram showing information elements related to the existing TCI state. Using Figure 1 the information elements shown, the UE can also receive information related to the TCI state.

[0067] <Spatial relation for PUCCH>

[0068] The UE can also be configured with parameters (PUCCH configuration information, PUCCH-Config) used in PUCCH transmission via higher layer signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling). The PUCCH configuration information can also be configured for each partial bandwidth (e.g., uplink bandwidth part (BWP)) within a carrier (also referred to as a cell, component carrier (CC)).

[0069] The PUCCH configuration information can also include a list of PUCCH resource set information (e.g., PUCCH-ResourceSet) and a list of PUCCH spatial relation information (e.g., PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo).

[0070] The PUCCH resource set information can also include a list (e.g., resourceList) of PUCCH resource indices (IDs, e.g., PUCCH-ResourceId).

[0071] In addition, in the case where the UE does not have dedicated PUCCH resource configuration information (e.g., dedicated PUCCH resource structure) provided by the PUCCH resource set information within the PUCCH configuration information (before RRC establishment), the UE can also determine the PUCCH resource set based on parameters (e.g., pucch-ResourceCommon) within the system information (e.g., System Information Block Type 1 (SIB1) or minimum system information (Remaining Minimum System Information (RMSI))). This PUCCH resource set can also include 16 PUCCH resources.

[0072] On the other hand, in the case where the UE has the above dedicated PUCCH resource configuration information (UE-specific uplink control channel structure, dedicated PUCCH resource structure) (after RRC establishment), the UE can also determine the PUCCH resource set according to the number of UCI information bits.

[0073] The UE may also be based on a specific field (e.g., the PUCCH resource indicator field) within the downlink control information (Downlink Control Information (DCI)), such as DCI format 1_0 or 1_1 used in the scheduling of the PDSCH), the number of CCEs (N CCE ) in the control resource set (CORESET) for receiving the PDCCH carrying the DCI, and the index (n CCE，0 ) of the first (initial) CCE for receiving the PDCCH, to determine a PUCCH resource (index) within the above PUCCH resource set (e.g., a cell-specific or UE-individual determined PUCCH resource set).

[0074] The PUCCH spatial relation information (e.g., the "PUCCH-spatialRelationInfo" of the RRC information element) may also represent multiple candidate beams (spatial domain filters) for PUCCH transmission. The PUCCH spatial relation information may also represent the spatial association between the RS (Reference Signal) and the PUCCH.

[0075] Figure 2A is a diagram showing an example of existing PUCCH spatial relation information. Using Figure 2A the information shown (e.g., the RRC information element), the UE may also receive the PUCCH spatial relation information.

[0076] In addition, in the present disclosure, indexes, IDs, indicators, resource IDs, etc. may also be replaced with each other.

[0077] The list of PUCCH spatial relation information may also contain several elements (PUCCH spatial relation information IE (Information Element)). Each PUCCH spatial relation information may also contain, for example, at least one of the index (ID, e.g., pucch-SpatialRelationInfoId) of the PUCCH spatial relation information, the index (ID, e.g., servingCellId) of the serving cell, and information related to the RS (reference RS) that has a spatial relation with the PUCCH.

[0078] For example, the information related to the RS may also be an SSB index, a CSI-RS index (e.g., NZP-CSI-RS resource structure ID), or an SRS resource ID and an ID of a BWP. The SSB index, the CSI-RS index, and the SRS resource ID may also be associated with at least one of a beam, a resource, and a port selected by measurement of the corresponding RS.

[0079] When the spatial relation information related to the PUCCH is set to be more than one, the UE may also perform control based on the PUCCH spatial relation Activation / Deactivation MAC CE to activate one PUCCH spatial relation information with respect to one PUCCH resource at a certain time.

[0080] The PUCCH spatial relation Activation / Deactivation MAC CE of Rel.15 NR is expressed by a total of three octets (8 bits × 3 = 24 bits) in octets 1-3.

[0081] This MAC CE may also include information such as the serving cell ID of the application object ("Serving Cell ID" field), the BWP ID ("BWP ID" field), and the PUCCH resource ID ("PUCCH Resource ID" field).

[0082] In addition, this MAC CE includes a field of "S i "(i = 0-7). When the field of a certain S i represents 1, the UE activates the spatial relation information of spatial relation information ID#i. When the field of a certain S i represents 0, the UE deactivates the spatial relation information of spatial relation information ID#i.

[0083] The UE may also activate the PUCCH relation information specified by this MAC CE 3 ms after sending an acknowledgement (ACK) in response to the MAC CE for activating a specific PUCCH spatial relation information.

[0084] <Spatial Relations for SRS and PUSCH>

[0085] The UE may also receive information (SRS configuration information, e.g., parameters in "SRS-Config" of an RRC control element) used in the transmission of a measurement reference signal (e.g., a sounding reference signal (SRS)).

[0086] Specifically, the UE may also receive at least one of information related to one or more SRS resource sets (SRS resource set information, e.g., "SRS-ResourceSet" of an RRC control element) and information related to one or more SRS resources (SRS resource information, e.g., "SRS-Resource" of an RRC control element).

[0087] An SRS resource set may also be associated with a specific number of SRS resources (a specific number of SRS resources may also be grouped). Each SRS resource may also be determined by an SRS resource indicator (SRI) or an SRS resource ID (Identifier).

[0088] The SRS resource set information may also include an SRS resource set ID (SRS-ResourceSetId), a list of SRS resource IDs (SRS-ResourceId) used in the resource set, an SRS resource type, and information on the usage of the SRS.

[0089] Here, the SRS resource type may also represent any one of periodic SRS (Periodic SRS (P-SRS)), semi-persistent SRS (Semi-Persistent SRS (SP-SRS)), and aperiodic SRS (Aperiodic SRS (A-SRS, AP-SRS)). In addition, the UE may also send P-SRS and SP-SRS periodically (or after activation, periodically), and send A-SRS based on an SRS request in DCI.

[0090] In addition, the usage (the "usage" of an RRC parameter, the "SRS-SetUse" of an L1 (Layer-1) parameter) may be, for example, beam management, codebook-based transmission (codebook: CB), non-codebook-based transmission (nonCodebook: NCB), antenna switching, etc. The SRS for the usage of codebook-based transmission or non-codebook-based transmission may also be used in the determination of the precoder for codebook-based or non-codebook-based PUSCH transmission based on SRI.

[0091] For example, in the case of codebook-based transmission, the UE can also determine the precoder for PUSCH transmission based on the SRI, the Transmitted Rank Indicator (TRI), and the Transmitted Precoding Matrix Indicator (TPMI). In the case of non-codebook-based transmission, the UE can also determine the precoder for PUSCH transmission based on the SRI.

[0092] The SRS resource information can also include the SRS-ResourceId, the number of SRS ports, the SRS port number, the transmission Comb, the SRS resource mapping (e.g., time and / or frequency resource location, resource offset, period of the resource, number of repetitions, number of SRS symbols, SRS bandwidth, etc.), hopping association information, SRS resource type, sequence ID, spatial relation information of the SRS, etc.

[0093] The spatial relation information of the SRS (e.g., "spatialRelationInfo" of the RRC information element) can also represent the spatial relation information between a specific reference signal and the SRS. The specific reference signal can also be at least one of the Synchronization Signal / Physical Broadcast Channel (SS / PBCH) block, the Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), and the SRS (e.g., other SRS). The SS / PBCH block can also be referred to as the Synchronization Signal Block (SSB).

[0094] Figure 2B is a diagram showing an example of the existing spatial relation information of the SRS. Using Figure 2B the information shown (e.g., the RRC information element), the UE can also receive the spatial relation information of the SRS.

[0095] The spatial relation information of the SRS can also include at least one of the SSB index, the CSI-RS resource ID, and the SRS resource ID as the index of the above specific reference signal.

[0096] In addition, in the present disclosure, the SSB index, the SSB resource ID, and the SSBRI (SSB Resource Indicator) can also be replaced with each other. In addition, the CSI-RS index, the CSI-RS resource ID, and the CRI (CSI-RS Resource Indicator) can also be replaced with each other. In addition, the SRS index, the SRS resource ID, and the SRI can also be replaced with each other.

[0097] The spatial relation information of the SRS can also include the serving cell index, the BWP index (BWP ID), etc. corresponding to the above specific reference signals.

[0098] In NR, the transmission of the uplink signal can also be controlled based on the presence or absence of beam correspondence (BC). BC can also refer to, for example, the ability of a certain node (e.g., a base station or a UE) to determine the beam (transmission beam, Tx beam) used in the transmission of a signal based on the beam (reception beam, Rx beam) used in the reception of the signal.

[0099] In addition, BC can also be referred to as transmission / reception beam correspondence, beam reciprocity, beam calibration, calibrated / non-calibrated, reciprocity calibrated / non-calibrated, correspondence, consistency, etc.

[0100] For example, in the absence of BC, the UE can also use the same beam (spatial domain transmission filter) as the SRS (or SRS resource) indicated by the base station based on the measurement results of one or more SRSs (or SRS resources) to transmit uplink signals (e.g., PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, etc.).

[0101] On the other hand, in the presence of BC, the UE can also use the same or corresponding beam (spatial domain transmission filter) as the beam (spatial domain reception filter) used in the reception of a specific SSB or CSI-RS (or CSI-RS resource) to transmit uplink signals (e.g., PUSCH, PUCCH, SRS, etc.).

[0102] When spatial relation information related to an SSB or CSI-RS and an SRS is set for a certain SRS resource (for example, in the case with BC), the UE can also use the same spatial domain filter (spatial domain transmission filter) as the spatial domain filter (spatial domain reception filter) used for the reception of the SSB or CSI-RS to transmit the SRS resource. In this case, the UE can also assume that the UE reception beam of the SSB or CSI-RS is the same as the UE transmission beam of the SRS.

[0103] When spatial relation information related to another SRS (reference SRS) and a certain SRS (target SRS) is set for a certain SRS (target SRS) resource (for example, in the case without BC), the UE can also use the same spatial domain filter (spatial domain transmission filter) as the spatial domain filter (spatial domain transmission filter) used for the transmission of the reference SRS to transmit the target SRS resource. That is, in this case, the UE can also assume that the UE transmission beam of the reference SRS is the same as the UE transmission beam of the target SRS.

[0104] The UE can also determine the spatial relation of the PUSCH scheduled by the DCI based on the value of a specific field (for example, SRS resource identifier (SRI) field) in the DCI (for example, DCI format 0_1). Specifically, the UE can also use the spatial relation information (for example, "spatialRelationInfo" of the RRC information element) of the SRS resource determined based on the value of the specific field (for example, SRI) in the PUSCH transmission.

[0105] In the case of using codebook-based transmission for the PUSCH, the UE can also be configured by RRC with two SRS resources and be indicated by the DCI (a 1-bit specific field) with one of the two SRS resources. In the case of using non-codebook-based transmission for the PUSCH, the UE can also be configured by RRC with four SRS resources and be indicated by the DCI (a 2-bit specific field) with one of the four SRS resources. To use a spatial relation other than the two or four spatial relations configured by RRC, RRC reconfiguration is required.

[0106] In addition, DL-RS can be set for the spatial relation of the SRS resource used in the PUSCH. For example, for SP-SRS, the UE can be configured by RRC with the spatial relations of multiple (for example, up to 16) SRS resources and be indicated by the MAC CE with one of the multiple SRS resources.

[0107]

[0108] In future wireless communication systems (e.g., NR after Rel.17), as a beam indication method for UL, the use of UL TCI states is being studied. The UL TCI state is similar to the notification of the UE's DL beam (DL TCI state). In addition, the DL TCI state can also be interchanged with the TCI state for PDCCH / PDSCH.

[0109] The channel / signal for which the UL TCI state is set (specified) (which can also be referred to as the target channel / RS) can be, for example, at least one of PUSCH (DMRS of PUSCH), PUCCH (DMRS of PUCCH), random access channel (Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH)), SRS, etc.

[0110] In addition, the RS (source RS) in a QCL relationship with this channel / signal can be, for example, either a DL RS (e.g., SSB, CSI-RS, TRS, etc.) or a UL RS (e.g., SRS, SRS for beam management, etc.).

[0111] In the UL TCI state, the RS in a QCL relationship with this channel / signal can also be associated with the panel ID used to receive or transmit this RS. This association can be explicitly set (or specified) through higher layer signaling (e.g., RRC signaling, MAC CE, etc.) or implicitly determined.

[0112] The correspondence between the RS and the panel ID can be set by being included in the UL TCI state information, or can be set by being included in at least one of the resource setting information, spatial relationship information, etc. of this RS.

[0113] The QCL type represented by the UL TCI state can be the existing QCL types A - D, or other QCL types, and can also include specific spatial relationships, associated antenna ports (port indices), etc.

[0114] If the panel ID associated with the UL transmission is specified (e.g., specified by DCI), the UE can also use the panel corresponding to this panel ID for this UL transmission. The panel ID can also be associated with the UL TCI state. When the UL TCI state is specified (or activated) for a specific UL channel / signal, the UE can also determine the panel used in the transmission of this UL channel / signal according to the panel ID associated with this UL TCI state.

[0115] (Multi-TRP)

[0116] In NR, the study is underway on DL transmission to a UE using one or more Transmission / Reception Points (TRPs) (multi-TRP) with one or more panels (multi-panel). In addition, the study is underway on UL transmission from a UE to one or more TRPs.

[0117] In addition, multiple TRPs can correspond to the same cell identifier (cell Identifier (ID)) or different cell IDs. This cell ID can be either a physical cell ID or a virtual cell ID.

[0118] Different codewords (Code Word (CW)) and different layers can also be transmitted from each of the multi-TRP's TRPs. As a way of multi-TRP transmission, the study is underway on Non-Coherent Joint Transmission (NCJT).

[0119] In NCJT, for example, TRP1 modulates and maps the first codeword, performs layer mapping, and uses the first precoding for the first number of layers (e.g., 2 layers) to transmit the first PDSCH. In addition, TRP2 modulates and maps the second codeword, performs layer mapping, and uses the second precoding for the second number of layers (e.g., 2 layers) to transmit the second PDSCH. It is also conceivable that these first PDSCH and second PDSCH are not in a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) relationship (not quasi-co-located).

[0120] In addition, multiple PDSCHs subject to NCJT can also be defined to partially or completely overlap in at least one of the time domain and the frequency domain. That is, at least one of the time and frequency resources of the first PDSCH from the first TRP and the second PDSCH from the second TRP can also overlap.

[0121] (Path loss reference RS)

[0122] The path loss reference RS (path loss reference reference signal (RS), path loss reference RS, path loss measurement RS) can also be used in the calculation of the path loss for PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS. In Rel.15 NR, the maximum number of path loss reference RSs is 4. In other words, the UE does not expect to maintain more than 4 path loss reference RSs per serving cell simultaneously for all PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS transmissions.

[0123] (Transmission power control)

[0124] <Transmission Power Control for PUSCH>

[0125] In NR, the transmission power of PUSCH is controlled based on the TPC command (also referred to as value, increment / decrement value, correction value, etc.) indicated by the value of a specific field (also called the TPC command field, etc.) within the DCI.

[0126] For example, when the UE uses a parameter set with index j (open-loop parameter set) and an index l of the power control adjustment state, and transmits PUSCH on the active UL BWP b of carrier f in serving cell c, the transmission power (P PUSCH，b，f，c (i, j, q d , l)) of PUSCH in the PUSCH transmission occasion (also called the transmission period, etc.) i can also be represented by the following formula (1).

[0127] Here, the power control adjustment state can also be set by a higher-layer parameter to have multiple states (e.g., two states) or a single state. In addition, when multiple power control adjustment states are set, one of the multiple power control adjustment states can be identified by the index l (e.g., l ∈ {0, 1}). The power control adjustment state can also be referred to as the PUSCH power control adjustment state, the first or second state, etc.

[0128] In addition, the PUSCH transmission occasion i is a specific period during which PUSCH is transmitted. For example, it can be composed of one or more symbols, one or more time slots, etc.

[0129] [Mathematical Formula 1]

[0130] Formula (1)

[0131]

[0132] In formula (1), P CMAX，f，c(i) is, for example, the transmission power of the user terminal (also called the maximum transmission power, UE maximum output power, etc.) set for carrier f of serving cell c in transmission occasion i. P O＿PUSCH，b，f，c (j) is, for example, a parameter related to the target received power (e.g., also called a parameter related to the transmission power offset, transmission power offset P0, target received power parameter, etc.) set for the active UL BWP b of carrier f of serving cell c in parameter set setting j.

[0133] M PUSCH RB，b，f，c (i) For example, it is the number of resource blocks (bandwidth) allocated to the PUSCH in the transmission opportunity i in the active UL BWP b of the carrier f with the serving cell c and the subcarrier spacing μ. b，f，c (j) is a value provided by a higher-layer parameter (for example, also referred to as msg3-Alpha, p0-PUSCH-Alpha, fractional factor, etc.).

[0134] PL b，f，c (q d ) For example, the index q of the reference signal for downlink BWP (path loss reference RS, path loss measurement DL RS, PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS) associated with the activated UL BWP b of carrier f of serving cell c is used. d , the path loss calculated by the user terminal (path loss compensation).

[0135] Δ TF，b，f，c (i) is a transmission power adjustment component (offset, transmission format compensation) for UL BWP b of carrier f of serving cell c.

[0136] f b，f，c (i, l) is the value of the TPC command of the power control adjustment state index l based on the activated UL BWP of the serving cell c and the carrier f of the transmission opportunity i (e.g., power control adjustment state, cumulative value of TPC commands, closed-loop value). b，f，c (i, l) can also be expressed by formula (2). l can also be called a closed-loop index.

[0137] [Mathematical formula 2]

[0138] Formula (2)

[0139] f b，f，c (i, l) = f b，f，c (i last , l)+δ PUSCH，b，f，c (i last， i, K PUSCH , l)

[0140] In formula (2), δ PUSCH，b，f，c (i last ,i,K PUSCH , l) For example, it can be the previous PUSCH transmission opportunity i lastThe TPC command indicated by the TPC command field value in the DCI (e.g., DCI format 0_0 or 0_1) detected by the activated UL BWP b of the carrier f of the serving cell c during the subsequent transmission opportunity i can also be the TPC command indicated by the TPC command field value in the (CRC-scrambled) DCI (e.g., DCI format 2_2) with CRC parity check bits scrambled by a specific RNTI (Radio Network Temporary Identifier) (e.g., TPC-PUSCH-RNTI).

[0141] In the case where the UE is not provided with a path loss reference RS (e.g., PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS), or in the case where the UE is not provided with dedicated higher layer parameters, the UE can also use the RS resources from the SSB for obtaining the Master Information Block (MIB) to calculate the PL b，f，c (q d )。

[0142] In the case where the UE is set with a number of RS resource indexes up to the value of the maximum number of path loss reference RSs (e.g., maxNrofPUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS), and a set of respective RS settings for the RS resource indexes is set by the path loss reference RS, the set of RS resource indexes can also include one or both of the set of SS / PBCH block indexes and the set of CSI-RS resource indexes. The UE can also identify the RS resource index q within the set of RS resource indexes d 。

[0143] In the case where PUSCH transmission is scheduled by a Random Access Response (RAR) UL grant, the UE can also use the same RS resource index q as that for the corresponding PRACH transmission d 。

[0144] In the case where a setting for power control of SRI-based PUSCH is provided (e.g., SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl), and more than one value of the ID of the path loss reference RS is provided, the UE can also obtain a mapping between the set of values of the SRI field in DCI format 0_1 and the set of ID values of the path loss reference RS from higher layer signaling (e.g., sri-PUSCH-PowerControl-Id within SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl). The UE can also determine the RS resource index q based on the ID of the path loss reference RS mapped to the SRI field value in DCI format 0_1 that schedules the PUSCH d 。

[0145] In the case where PUSCH transmission is scheduled by DCI format 0_0, and the UE is not provided with PUCCH spatial relation information for the PUCCH resource having the lowest index for each carrier f and serving cell c of the active UL BWP b, the UE can also use the same RS resource index q as that of the PUCCH transmission within the PUCCH resource d 。

[0146] In the case where PUSCH transmission is scheduled by DCI format 0_0 and the UE is not provided with the spatial setting of the PUCCH transmission, or in the case where PUSCH transmission is scheduled by DCI format 0_1 that does not contain an SRI field, or in the case where the setting for power control of SRI-based PUSCH is not provided to the UE, the UE can also use the RS resource index q with the ID of the path loss reference RS being zero d 。

[0147] In the case where, for PUSCH transmission configured by a configured grant setting (e.g., ConfiguredGrantConfig), the configured grant setting contains a specific parameter (e.g., rrc-CofiguredUplinkGrant), the RS resource index q d can also be provided to the UE through the path loss reference index (e.g., pathlossReferenceIndex) within the specific parameter.

[0148] In the case where, for PUSCH transmission configured by a configured grant setting, the configured grant setting does not contain a specific parameter, the UE can also determine the RS resource index qd based on the value of the ID of the path loss reference RS mapped to the SRI field in the DCI format that activates the PUSCH transmission. In the case where the DCI format does not contain an SRI field, the UE can also determine the RS resource index q with the ID of the path loss reference RS being zero d 。

[0149] In addition, the formulas (1) and (2) are merely illustrative and not limited thereto. The user terminal only needs to control the transmission power of the PUSCH based on at least one of the parameters illustrated in the formulas (1) and (2), and may include additional parameters or omit some parameters. Further, in the above formulas (1) and (2), the transmission power of the PUSCH is controlled for each active UL BWP of a certain carrier of a certain serving cell, but not limited thereto. At least a part of the serving cell, carrier, BWP, and power control adjustment state may also be omitted.

[0150] <PUCCH Transmission Power Control>

[0151] In addition, in NR, the transmission power of the PUCCH is controlled based on the TPC command (also referred to as value, increment / decrement value, correction value, indication value, etc.) indicated by the value of a specific field (also referred to as TPC command field, first field, etc.) in the DCI.

[0152] For example, using the index l of the power control adjustment state, the transmission power (P PUCCH，b，f，c (i, q u q d , q

[0153] , l)) of the PUCCH for the PUCCH transmission opportunity (transmission occasion) (also referred to as transmission period, etc.) i of the active UL BWP b of the carrier f of the serving cell c can also be represented by the following formula (3).

[0154] The power control adjustment state may also be referred to as PUCCH power control adjustment state, first or second state, etc.

[0155] [Mathematical Formula 3]

[0156] Formula (3)

[0157]

[0158] In formula (3), P CMAX，f，c (i) is, for example, the transmission power (also referred to as maximum transmission power, UE maximum output power, etc.) of the user terminal set for the carrier f of the serving cell c during the transmission opportunity i. P O＿PUCCH，b，f，c (qu ) For example, it is a parameter related to the target reception power set in the activation UL BWP b of the carrier f of the serving cell c in transmission opportunity i (for example, also referred to as a parameter related to the transmission power offset, the transmission power offset P0, or the target reception power parameter, etc.).

[0159] M PUCCH RB，b，f，c (i) For example, it is the number of resource blocks (bandwidth) allocated to the PUCCH in the transmission opportunity i in the activation UL BWP b of the carrier f of the serving cell c and the subcarrier spacing μ. PL b，f，c (q d ) For example, it is the index q of the reference signal (path loss reference RS, DL RS for path loss measurement, PUCCH - PathlossReferenceRS) used with the downlink BWP associated with the activation UL BWP b of the carrier f of the serving cell c. d , the path loss calculated by the user equipment.

[0160] Δ F＿PUCCH (F) is a higher layer parameter given for each PUCCH format. Δ TF，b，f，c (i) is the transmission power adjustment component (offset) for the UL BWP b of the carrier f of the serving cell c.

[0161] g b，f，c (i, l) is the value of the TPC command based on the power control adjustment status index l of the activation UL BWP of the carrier f of the serving cell c and the transmission opportunity i (for example, the power control adjustment status, the cumulative value of the TPC command, the value based on closed - loop, the PUCCH power adjustment status). For example, g b，f，c (i, l) can also be represented by Equation (4).

[0162] [Mathematical formula 4]

[0163] Equation (4)

[0164] g b，f，c (i, l) = g b，f，c (i last , l) + δ PUCCH，b，f，c (i last , i, K PUCCH , l)

[0165] In Equation (4), δ PUCCH，b，f，c (i last , i, K PUCCH , l) for example can be either in the previous PUCCH transmission opportunity ilast The TPC command indicated by the TPC command field value in the DCI (e.g., DCI format 1_0 or 1_1) detected by the activated UL BWP b of the carrier f of the serving cell c during the subsequent transmission opportunity i, or may also be the TPC command indicated by the TPC command field value in the (CRC-scrambled) DCI (e.g., DCI format 2_2) having CRC parity check bits scrambled by a specific Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) (e.g., TPC-PUCCH-RNTI).

[0166] When the UE is provided with information indicating the use of two PUCCH power control adjustment states (twoPUCCH-PC-AdjustmentStates) and PUCCH spatial relation information (PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo), l = {0, 1}, and when the UE is not provided with information indicating the use of two PUCCH power control adjustment states or PUCCH spatial relation information, it may also be l = 0.

[0167] When the UE obtains the TPC command value from DCI format 1_0 or 1_1, and when the UE is provided with PUCCH spatial relation information, the UE may also obtain the mapping between the PUCCH spatial relation information ID (pucch-SpatialRelationInfoId) value and the closed-loop index (closedLoopIndex, power adjustment state index l) according to the index provided by the PUCCH P0 ID (p0-PUCCH-Id in PUCCH-PowerControl in PUCCH-Config). When the UE receives an activation command containing the value of the PUCCH spatial relation information ID, the UE may also determine the value of the closed-loop index that provides the value of l through the link corresponding to the PUCCH P0 ID.

[0168] When the UE is provided by the higher layer with the setting of the P O＿PUCCH，b，f，c (q u ) value for the corresponding PUCCH power adjustment state l for the activated UL BWP b of the carrier f of the serving cell c b，f，c , g u (i, l) = 0, k = 0, 1,..., i. When the UE is provided with PUCCH spatial relation information, the UE may also determine the value of l based on the PUCCH spatial relation information associated with the PUCCH P0 ID corresponding to q u and the closed-loop index value corresponding to l according to the value of q.

[0169] q u It may also be the PUCCH P0 ID (p0-PUCCH-Id) representing the P0 for PUCCH (P0-PUCCH) within the P0 set (p0-Set) for PUCCH.

[0170] In addition, the formulas (3) and (4) are merely illustrative and not limited thereto. The user equipment only needs to control the transmission power of the PUCCH based on at least one of the parameters illustrated in the formulas (3) and (4). It may include additional parameters or omit some parameters. Further, in the above formulas (3) and (4), the transmission power of the PUCCH is controlled for each active UL BWP of a certain carrier of a certain serving cell, but not limited thereto. At least a part of the serving cell, carrier, BWP, and power control adjustment state may also be omitted.

[0171] <SRS Transmission Power Control>

[0172] For example, using the index l of the power control adjustment state, for the SRS transmission occasion (also referred to as the transmission period, etc.) i of the active UL BWP b of the carrier f of the serving cell c, the transmission power (P SRS，b，f，c (i, q s , l)) of the SRS can also be represented by the following formula (5).

[0173] The power control adjustment state may also be referred to as the SRS power control adjustment state, the value based on the TPC command, the cumulative value of the TPC command, the value based on the closed loop, the first or second state, etc. l may also be referred to as the closed loop index.

[0174] In addition, the SRS transmission occasion i is a specific period during which the SRS is transmitted. For example, it may be composed of one or more symbols, one or more time slots, etc.

[0175] [Mathematical Formula 5]

[0176] Formula (5)

[0177]

[0178] In formula (5), P CMAX，f，c (i) is, for example, the maximum output power of the UE for the carrier f of the serving cell c in the SRS transmission occasion i. P O＿SRS，b，f，c (q s) is based on the activated UL BWP b and SRS resource set q for carrier f of serving cell c s (provided by SRS-ResourceSet and SRS-ResourceSetId) The parameter related to the target received power provided with p0 (for example, also referred to as the parameter related to the transmission power offset, transmission power offset P0, or target received power parameter, etc.).

[0179] M SRS，b，f，c (i) The SRS bandwidth represented by the number of resource blocks of SRS transmission opportunity i on the activated UL BWP b for carrier f of serving cell c and subcarrier spacing μ.

[0180] α SRS，b，f，c (q s ) is provided by α (for example, alpha) based on the activated UL BWP b and SRS resource set q for carrier f of serving cell c and subcarrier spacing μ s .

[0181] PL b，f，c (q d ) is the DL path loss estimation value [dB] calculated by the UE for the activated DL BWP of serving cell c and SRS resource set q s , using RS resource index q d . RS resource index q d is the path loss reference RS associated with SRS resource set q s (provided by DL RS for path loss measurement, for example, pathlossReferenceRS), and is the SS / PBCH block index (for example, ssb-Index) or CSI-RS resource index (for example, csi-RS-Index).

[0182] h b，f，c (i, l) is the SRS power control adjustment state for the activated UL BWP of carrier f of serving cell c and SRS transmission opportunity i. The setting of the SRS power control adjustment state (for example, srs-PowerControlAdjustmentStates) is the current PUSCH power control adjustment state f b，f，c (i, l) in the case where it represents the same power control adjustment state for SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission. On the other hand, in the case where the setting of the SRS power control adjustment state represents independent power control adjustment states for SRS transmission and PUSCH transmission and the setting of TPC accumulation is not provided, the SRS power control adjustment state h b，f，c (i) can also be represented by Equation (6).

[0183] [Mathematical formula 6]

[0184] Equation (6)

[0185]

[0186] In Equation (6), δ SRS，b，f，c (m) can also be encoded together with other TPC commands within a PDCCH having a DCI (e.g., DCI format 2_3). Σδ SRS，b，f，c (m) can also be the sum of TPC commands within a set S SRS having cardinality c(S SRS ) received by the UE between the K i (i - i0)-1th symbol before the SRS transmission opportunity i - i0 and the K i (i)th symbol before the SRS transmission opportunity i on the active UL BWP b of the carrier f with subcarrier spacing μ in the serving cell c. Here, i0 > 0 is the smallest integer such that the K SRS (i - i0)-1th symbol before the SRS transmission opportunity i - i0 is earlier than the K SRS (i)th symbol before the SRS transmission opportunity i.

[0187] In addition, Equations (5) and (6) are merely illustrative and not limited thereto. The user terminal only needs to control the transmission power of the SRS based on at least one of the parameters illustrated in Equations (5) and (6), and may include additional parameters or omit some parameters. Further, in the above Equations (5) and (6), the transmission power of the SRS is controlled for each BWP of a certain carrier in a certain cell, but not limited thereto. At least a part of the cell, carrier, BWP, and power control adjustment state may be omitted.

[0188] (Indication of power control setting)

[0189] In Rel.15 NR, in order to follow changes in the spatial relationship, it is possible to switch between multiple states of open-loop (OL)-TPC or closed-loop (CL)-TPC through the SRI field in the DCI. When the usage of the SRS resource set is codebook transmission (codebook), the maximum number of SRI field values is 2 (the SRI field length is 1 bit), and when the usage of the SRS resource set is non-codebook transmission (nonCodebook), the maximum number of SRI field values is 4 (the SRI field length is 2 bits).

[0190] To set the power control settings for PUSCH, a list (sri-PUSCH-MappingToAddModList) of power control settings (SRI-PUSCH-PowerControl) mapped to SRI field values is included within the PUSCH power control information (PUSCH-PowerControl) in the PUSCH settings information (PUSCH-Config). The power control settings include a power control setting ID (sri-PUSCH-PowerControlId) corresponding to the SRI field value, a path loss reference RS ID (sri-PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS-Id) indicating the path loss reference RS, a P0-α set ID (sri-P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId) representing the set of P0 and α, and a closed-loop (CL) ID (sri-PUSCH-ClosedLoopIndex) corresponding to the power control state l.

[0191] At least one of the path loss reference RS ID, P0-α set ID, and closed-loop ID may also be referred to as a power control (transmission power control, TPC) parameter. At least one of the path loss reference RS ID and P0-α set ID is used in open-loop (OL) power control and may thus also be referred to as an OL power control (TPC) parameter. The closed-loop ID is used in closed-loop (CL) power control and may thus also be referred to as a CL power control (TPC) parameter.

[0192] For example, power control setting #0 including P0#0, α#0, path loss reference RS#0, and power control adjustment state #0 (l = 0) may also be associated with SRI field value 0, and power control setting #1 including P0#1, α#1, path loss reference RS#1, and power control adjustment state #1 (l = 1) may also be associated with SRI field value 1. The UE is indicated of the associated power control setting through the SRI field.

[0193] In the case where the UE is configured with only one SRS resource, the SRI field is 0 bits in length.

[0194] To configure the power control settings for PUCCH, power control settings (PUCCH-PowerControl) are included within the PUCCH settings information (PUCCH-Config). The power control settings include a correction value Δ for each PUCCH format. F＿PUCCH(F) (deltaF-PUCCH-f0, deltaF-PUCCH-f1, deltaF-PUCCH-f2, deltaF-PUCCH-f3, deltaF-PUCCH-f4), set of P0 (p0-Set), set of path loss reference RSs (pathlossReferenceRSs), information indicating whether to use two PUCCH power adjustment states (twoPUCCH-PC-AdjustmentStates). The path loss reference RS can also be indicated by an SSB index (SSB-Index) or a CSI-RS (NZP-CSI-RS resource ID (NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId)).

[0195] In this way, in Rel.15 NR, the power control setting can be switched.

[0196] (Spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS)

[0197] The UE can also receive from the network (NW, e.g., gNB) newly defined information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS (or, QCL setting).

[0198] The UE can also determine the UL beam used by the UE based on the newly defined information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS.

[0199] For example, the UE receives from the NW newly defined information related to the spatial relationship (TCI state) between the reference RS and the target RS.

[0200] Then, the UE determines the UL beam used by the UE based on the newly defined information related to the spatial relationship (TCI state) between the reference RS and the target RS, and performs UL transmission to the NW.

[0201] In the present disclosure, the newly defined information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS can also be interchanged with the information related to the UL TCI state, the information related to the TCI state commonized by DL and UL, etc.

[0202] Here, a method of notifying the UE of the newly defined information related to the spatial relationship (or, QCL setting) between the reference RS and the target RS is described as a new UL TCI framework. In addition, the application of the information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS is described as a new UL TCI framework.

[0203] The UE can also receive information newly defined related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS (e.g., UL TCI state). For example, the UE receives from the NW information newly defined related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS (e.g., UL TCI state).

[0204] Then, the UE determines the UL beam used by the UE based on the information newly defined related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS (e.g., UL TCI state), and performs UL transmission to the NW.

[0205] The UE can also receive the information newly defined related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS (e.g., UL TCI state) by at least one of high-layer signaling and physical-layer signaling. In addition, the UE can also receive this information by combining high-layer signaling and physical-layer signaling.

[0206] The information newly defined related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS can also be specific information (e.g., spatialRelationInfo-r17) of an RRC information element. The reference RS can also be at least one of an SSB, a CSI-RS, and an SRS. The target RS can also be a UL RS (e.g., at least one of a DMRS, a PRACH, and an SRS for demodulating at least one of a PUCCH or a PUSCH).

[0207] Within the specific information (e.g., spatialRelationInfo-r17) element, an index (ID, e.g., SpatialRelationInfoId) related to a certain number (e.g., X (X is an integer greater than or equal to 0)) of specific information can also be set. Among the indexes related to a certain number (e.g., X) of specific information, a subset of information related to a certain number (e.g., X) of spatial relationships can also be set in each target RS (e.g., at least one of an SRS, a PUCCH-Config, a PUSCH-Config, and a PRACH).

[0208] The UE can also be set with candidates (list) of the information newly defined related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS by RRC signaling, and activate / deactivate the information related to the spatial relationship for a certain channel / RS (e.g., SRS, PUCCH, PUSCH) by MAC CE.

[0209] In addition, the UE can also be configured as a candidate (list) of information related to the spatial relationship between the new-specified reference RS and target RS by RRC signaling, and be dynamically indicated by L1 signaling (e.g., downlink control information (DCI)) of information related to the spatial relationship for a certain channel / RS (e.g., aperiodic SRS, PUSCH, PRACH (e.g., PRACH indicated by transmitting a PDCCH with a new field in the DCI format), and PUCCH (e.g., PUCCH indicated by a new field in the DL allocation)).

[0210] The UE can also receive information related to the spatial relationship (UL TCI state) applied to a specific channel / RS through physical layer signaling (L1 signaling). Information related to resources (e.g., resource ID) is configured (indicated) for the specific channel / RS, but different spatial relationships can also be configured for each of the configured (indicated) resources. In other words, the UE can also assume that different spatial relationships (UL TCI states) are configured for each resource configured for the specific channel / RS.

[0211] For example, information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and target RS (e.g., spatialRelationInfo-r17) can also be Figure 3A the information element shown related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and target RS. Within the information element of spatialRelationInfo-r17, an index (SpatialRelationInfoId) related to a certain quantity (e.g., X) of specific information can also be configured.

[0212] In addition, as Figure 3B shown, within the element of information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and target RS (e.g., spatialRelationInfo-r17), information related to the panel (e.g., ID, index (panelIndex)) can also be configured. The information related to the panel can also be at least one of information related to the UE antenna group (UE antenna group ID), information related to a specific RS group (specific RS group ID), or other similar IDs.

[0213] The newly defined information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS (e.g., spatialRelationInfo-r17) can also be applied to a certain UL channel / RS. For example, the newly defined information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS (e.g., spatialRelationInfo-r17) can also be applied to all UL channels / RS. In other words, the UE can also be set only with the newly defined information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS (e.g., spatialRelationInfo-r17) to replace the existing spatial relationship.

[0214] In addition, for example, the newly defined information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS (e.g., spatialRelationInfo-r17) can be applied to several UL channels / RS, and the information related to the existing spatial relationship can be applied to the remaining UL channels / RS.

[0215] In this case, the newly defined information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS (e.g., spatialRelationInfo-r17) and the information related to the existing spatial relationship for different UL channels / RS can also be set in the UE. At this time, the information related to one spatial relationship can also be applied to a UL channel / RS through higher layer signaling (e.g., RRC setup / reset).

[0216] In addition, in this case, when a newly defined information related to the spatial relationship between the reference RS and the target RS (e.g., spatialRelationInfo-r17) or the information related to the existing spatial relationship is set for a UL channel / RS, different spatial relationships can also be applied in RRC reset.

[0217] Regarding the UL TCI state, spatial relationship information, etc. that are expected to be adopted in future wireless communication systems, how the UE determines parameters related to UL transmit power control has not been studied. If the parameters related to UL transmit power control cannot be determined appropriately, there is a concern about a reduction in communication throughput.

[0218] Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have come up with a method that can appropriately determine parameters related to UL transmit power control.

[0219] Hereinafter, embodiments related to the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Each embodiment and the wireless communication method related to each mode can be applied separately or in combination.

[0220] The TCI state can also be replaced with the TCI state or QCL assumption, QCL assumption, spatial domain receive filter, UE spatial domain receive filter, spatial domain filter, UE receive beam, DL receive beam, DL-RS, etc. The RS of QCL type D, the DL-RS associated with QCL type D, the DL-RS having QCL type D, the source of the DL-RS, the SSB, and the CSI-RS can also be replaced with each other.

[0221] In the present disclosure, the TCI state can also be information related to the receive beam (spatial domain receive filter) indicated (set) for the UE (e.g., DL-RS, QCL type, cell transmitting the DL-RS, etc.). The QCL assumption can also be information related to the receive beam (spatial domain receive filter) assumed by the UE based on the transmission or reception of an associated signal (e.g., PRACH) (e.g., DL-RS, QCL type, cell transmitting the DL-RS, etc.).

[0222] In the present disclosure, the UL TCI state can also be replaced with the transmission beam of the UE, the UL beam, the spatial relationship of the UL TCI state, the spatial relationship, etc. The UL beam can also mean the transmission beam of the PUCCH / PUSCH. "UL TCI", "ULTCI", "UL-TCI" can also be replaced with each other.

[0223] In the present disclosure, the TRP, panel, TRP ID, panel ID, CORESET group ID of the CORESET for the PDCCH from the TRP or panel, the CORESET pool index indicating the CORESET pool of the PDCCH from the TRP or panel, the CORESET ID indicating the CORESET of the PDCCH from the TRP or panel, and other indexes corresponding to the TRP or panel (such as the DMRS port group ID, etc.) can also be replaced with each other.

[0224] In the present disclosure, the SRS can also be replaced with at least one of the aperiodic SRS (A-SRS), periodic SRS (P-SRS), and semi-persistent (SP-SRS).

[0225] In the present disclosure, "correlation" and "mapping" can also be replaced with each other. Expressions such as "rXX" (e.g., r17) in the present disclosure represent the version number of 3GPP (e.g., 3GPP Rel.17), but can also be replaced with expressions corresponding to other version numbers (e.g., r18, r19, r20, etc.).

[0227] <PUCCH Power Control of Rel.16>

[0228] Figure 4 This is a diagram showing the PUCCH spatial relation information of Rel. 16. As Figure 4 shown, the PUCCH spatial relation information (PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo-r16) is set as an RRC parameter. The PUCCH spatial relation information (PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo-r16) includes the ID of the PUCCH path loss reference RS (pucch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id-r16), the ID of the transmission power offset P0 for PUCCH (p0-PUCCH-Id-r16), and the closed-loop index (closedLoopIndex-r16). These are used in the power control of PUCCH.

[0229] Figure 5 This is a diagram showing the PUCCH power control information of Rel. 16. As Figure 5 shown, the PUCCH power control information (PUCCH-PowerControl) includes the set of P0 for indicating P0-PUCCH (p0-Set) and the path loss reference RS (pathlossReferenceRSs).

[0230] In addition, P0-PUCCH includes the ID of P0-PUCCH (p0-PUCCH-Id) and the value of P0-PUCCH (p0-PUCCH-Value). That is, the association between the P0-PUCCH-ID and the value of P0-PUCCH is represented in the PUCCH power control information.

[0231] In addition, the PUCCH path loss reference RS (PUCCH-PathlossReferenceRS) includes the downlink reference signal (referenceSignal, SSB, or CSI-RS) used in the PUCCH path loss reference RS-ID (pucch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id) and the PUCCH path loss estimation. That is, the association between the PUCCH path loss reference RS-ID and the downlink reference signal is represented in the PUCCH power control information.

[0232] <First Embodiment>

[0233] In the first embodiment, the setting of PUCCH power control information in the framework of unified UL TCI (unified TCI, unified TCI, UL TCI) is described. The UE receives, through higher layer signaling (e.g., RRC), specific information indicating the association (mapping) between the identifier (ID) representing spatial relation information and the parameters related to PUCCH transmission power control (PUCCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUCCH / closed-loop index). The UE determines the parameters related to PUCCH transmission power based on the mapping between the spatial relation information and the parameters related to PUCCH transmission power control, and determines the PUCCH transmission power. The UE controls the transmission of PUCCH based on the determined PUCCH transmission power.

[0234] The "PUCCH path loss reference RS" in the first embodiment corresponds to q in Equation (3). d "P0-PUCCH" corresponds to P in Equation (3). O＿PUCCH，b，f，c (q u ). "Closed-loop index" corresponds to l in Equations (3) and (4).

[0235] In the present disclosure, "PUCCH path loss reference RS" and "PUCCH path loss reference RS-ID" may be replaced with each other. "P0-PUCCH" and "P0-PUCCH-ID" may be replaced with each other. "PUCCH-closed-loop index" and "closed-loop index" may be replaced with each other.

[0236] [Method 1-1]

[0237] The UE may also receive, through higher layer signaling (e.g., RRC), specific information indicating the mapping between PUCCH spatial relation information (identifier (ID) of PUCCH spatial relation information) and the parameters related to PUCCH transmission power control (PUCCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUCCH / closed-loop index). The specific information may also include the identifier of PUCCH spatial relation information and the parameters related to PUCCH transmission power control. The specific information may be either a PUCCH power control information element (PUCCH-PowerControl information element) or, different from the PUCCH power control information element, a new information element that does not include the reference signal used in the spatial relation.

[0238] Figure 6 is a diagram showing an example of the PUCCH power control information element in Method 1-1. As Figure 6As shown, the PUCCH power control information (PUCCH-PowerControl-r17) as an RRC parameter includes the UL-TCI-PUCCH mapping (ULTCI-PUCCH-mapping-r17) corresponding to the ULTCI-PUCCH power control information (ULTCI-PUCCH-PowerControl-r17).

[0239] The ULTCI-PUCCH power control information (ULTCI-PUCCH-PowerControl-r17) includes the PUCCH spatial relation information ID (spatialRelationInfoId-r17), the PUCCH path loss reference RS-ID (pucch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id), the P0-PUCCH-ID (p0-PUCCH-Id), and the PUCCH-closed loop index (pucch-closedLoopIndex). That is, the mapping of the PUCCH spatial relation information to the PUCCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUCCH / closed loop index is represented in the PUCCH power control information element.

[0240] Figure 7 It is a diagram showing an example of the ULTCI-PUCCH mapping setting information element in Mode 1-1. Different from the PUCCH power control information element, the ULTCI-PUCCH mapping setting information element is an example of a new information element that does not include the reference signal used in the spatial relation. As Figure 7 shown, the ULTCI-PUCCH mapping information (ULTCI-PUCCH-mapping-r17) corresponds to the ULTCI-PUCCH power control information (ULTCI-PUCCH-PowerControl-r17). The information included in the ULTCI-PUCCH power control information (ULTCI-PUCCH-PowerControl-r17) is the same as that in the Figure 6 example shown.

[0241] The PUCCH spatial relation information ID (spatialRelationInfoid-r17) can also be used in the setting of the spatial relation between the reference RS (e.g., SSB / CSI-RS / SRS) and the target UL channel / RS (e.g., PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS / UL DMRS), representing the unified (UL) spatial relation setting. The PUCCH spatial relation information ID (spatialRelationInfoId-r17) can also be regarded as the UL-TCI state setting.

[0242] [Mode 1-2]

[0243] The UE can also receive, via higher layer signaling (e.g., RRC), specific information (spatial relation information) representing the mapping of an identifier (ID) indicating spatial relation information to parameters related to PUCCH transmission power control (PUCCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUCCH / closed-loop index). The spatial relation information may also include the identifier of the spatial relation information and PUCCH path loss reference RS-ID / P0-PUCCH-ID / PUCCH-closed-loop index. The specific information (spatial relation information) in Mode 1-2 includes, for example, information indicating the downlink reference signal used in the spatial relation and the downlink reference signal used in path loss estimation (pucch-PathlossReferenceRS-Config-r17)( Figure 9 ).

[0244] Figure 8 is a diagram showing a first example of the spatial relation information in Mode 1-2. As Figure 8 shown, the spatial relation information (SpatialRelationInfo-r17) includes the spatial relation information ID (spatialRelationInfoId-r17), PUCCH path loss reference RS-ID (pucch-PathlossReferenceRS-Id), P0-PUCCH-ID (p0-PUCCH-Id), and PUCCH-closed-loop index (pucch-closedLoopIndex). That is, the spatial relation information represents the mapping of the spatial relation information ID to the parameters related to PUCCH transmission power control. In addition, similar to the example Figure 5 shown, the PUCCH power control information may also represent the mapping of the ID of P0-PUCCH to the value of P0-PUCCH and the mapping of PUCCH path loss reference RS-ID to the reference signal.

[0245] Figure 9 is a diagram showing a second example of the spatial relation information in Mode 1-2. As Figure 9As shown, the spatial relation information (SpatialRelationInfo-r17) includes the spatial relation information ID (SpatialRelationInfoId-r17), the setting information of the PUCCH path loss reference RS (pucch-PathlossReferenceRS-Config-r17), the value of P0-PUCCH (p0-PUCCH-value), and the PUCCH-closed loop index (pucch-closedLoopIndex). That is, the spatial relation information represents the mapping between the spatial relation information ID and the parameters related to PUCCH transmit power control.

[0246] In addition, the spatial relation information is used in PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS, and the set power control parameters (PUCCH path loss reference RS, P0-PUCCH, closed loop index) can also be applied only in PUCCH.

[0247] [UE's operation]

[0248] In the PUCCH power control of the first embodiment, when the spatial relation information is provided (set), the UE can also obtain the mapping between the spatial relation information ID and the path loss reference RS / P0-PUCCH / closed loop index. When the spatial relation information ID is set / indicated for the PUCCH resource, the UE can also determine the PUCCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUCCH / closed loop index based on a specific mapping. When the spatial relation information is not sent, the UE can also apply the PUCCH power control of Rel.16.

[0249] According to the first embodiment, the UE can appropriately determine the parameters related to the PUCCH transmit power, so it can appropriately control the PUCCH transmit power and prevent the reduction of communication throughput.

[0250] <Rel.16 PUSCH power control>

[0251] Figure 10 It is a diagram showing an example of the parameters related to the power control of Rel.16 PUSCH. As Figure 10As shown, PUSCH power control information (PUSCH - PowerControl) and SRI - PUSCH power control information (SRI - PUSCH - PowerControl) are set as RRC parameters. The SRI - PUSCH power information (SRI - PUSCH - PowerControl) includes the SRI - PUSCH power control ID (sri - PUSCH - PowerControlId), the SRI - PUSCH path loss reference RS - ID (sri - PUSCH - PathlossReferenceRS - Id), the SRI - P0 - PUSCH - AlphaSetId (sri - P0 - PUSCH - AlphaSetId), and the SRI - PUSCH - closed - loop index (sri - PUSCH - ClosedLoopIndex). That is, the association between the PUSCH power control ID and the PUSCH path loss reference RS - ID / P0 - PUSCH - AlphaSetId / PUSCH - closed - loop index is represented in the SRI - PUSCH power information.

[0252] In PUSCH power control, the UE determines P0 - PUSCH / α / path loss reference RS / closed - loop index based on the mapping of SRI, P0 - PUSCH / α / path loss reference RS / closed - loop index of RRC parameters indicated in the DCI for scheduling UL. In the new unified framework, a new DCI field can also be used to indicate the spatial relationship of PUSCH instead of SRI. However, in this case, how to determine the parameters of PUSCH power control becomes a problem.

[0253] <Second Embodiment>

[0254] The UE receives a DCI containing specific information different from SRI and receives the mapping of the specific information and the parameters related to the transmission power control of the uplink shared channel (PUSCH) through higher - layer signaling. The UE determines the parameters used in PUSCH transmission power control based on the specific information and the mapping contained in the DCI. This specific information is, for example, new setting information (ULTCI) or an identifier of spatial relationship information. The UE uses the parameters used in PUSCH transmission power control to control the PUCCH transmission power.

[0255] The parameters related to PUSCH transmission power control are the PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0 - PUSCH / α (Alpha) / closed - loop index. The PUSCH path loss reference RS corresponds to q in Equation (1) d . P0 - PUSCH corresponds to P in Equation (1) O＿PUSCH，b，f，c (j). α corresponds to α in Equation (1) b，f，c(j). The closed-loop index corresponds to l in Equation (1).

[0256] In this disclosure, "PUSCH path loss reference RS-ID" and "PUSCH path loss reference RS" can also be replaced with each other. "P0-PUSCH-α set ID" and "P0-PUSCH / α" can also be replaced with each other. "PUSCH-closed-loop index" and "closed-loop index" can also be replaced with each other.

[0257] [Method 2-1]

[0258] The UE receives DCI containing ULTCI as specific information different from SRI, and determines the parameters used in PUSCH transmission power control based on ULTCI and the mapping based on higher-layer signaling. This mapping is the mapping of the SRI-PUSCH power control ID sent through higher-layer signaling (such as RRC) and the parameters related to PUSCH transmission power control. ULTCI in the DCI corresponds to the SRI-PUSCH power control ID in the higher-layer signaling (RRC).

[0259] The mapping of the SRI-PUSCH power control ID and the PUSCH path loss reference RS-ID / P0-PUSCH-α set ID / PUSCH-closed-loop index can also be set as RRC parameters in the same way as the PUSCH power control in Rel.16 above. This setting can also represent the mapping of the new indication (such as ULTCI) in the DCI and the PUSCH path loss reference RS-ID / P0-PUSCH-α set ID / PUSCH-closed-loop index. That is, the new indication (such as ULTCI) in the DCI can also correspond to the SRI-PUSCH power control ID.

[0260] Moreover, the UE can also determine the parameters (PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUSCH / α / closed-loop index) used in PUSCH transmission power control based on the new indication (such as ULTCI) in the DCI and the set mapping. For example, when ULTCI = 0, the UE can also apply the PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUSCH / α / closed-loop index mapped to the SRI-PUSCH power control ID = 0.

[0261] Upon receiving spatial relation information and SRI-PUSCH power control information, the UE obtains the mapping between the PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUSCH / α / closed-loop index and the code point of ULTCI in the DCI. When ULTCI is indicated in the DCI scheduling PUSCH, the UE determines the PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUSCH / α / closed-loop index mapped to this ULTCI as the parameter used in PUSCH transmission power control. In the case where spatial relation information is not transmitted, the UE can also apply the PUSCH power control of Rel.16 described above.

[0262] [Method 2-2]

[0263] The UE receives the DCI containing ULTCI as specific information different from SRI, and determines the parameter used in PUSCH transmission power control based on the ULTCI and the mapping. This mapping is the mapping between the ULTCI-PUSCH power control ID transmitted by higher layer signaling (RRC) and the parameters related to PUSCH transmission power control. The ULTCI in the DCI corresponds to the ULTCI-PUSCH power control ID in the RRC.

[0264] In Method 2-2, it is envisaged to apply a new setting of the RRC based on the mapping representing the ULTCI in the DCI and the PUSCH path loss reference RS-ID / P0-PUSCH-α set ID / closed-loop index.

[0265] Figure 11 FIG. is an example diagram showing the parameters related to the power control of PUSCH in Method 2-2. The ULTCI-PUSCH power information (ULTCI-PUSCH-PowerControl-r17) as an RRC parameter includes the ULTCI-PUSCH power control ID (ULTCI-PUSCH-PowerControlId-r17), the ULTCI-PUSCH path loss reference RS-ID (ULTCI-PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS-Id), the ULTCI-P0-PUSCH-α set ID (ULTCI-P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId), and the ULTCI-PUSCH-closed-loop index (ULTCI-PUSCH-ClosedLoopIndex). That is, the mapping between the PUSCH power control ID and the PUSCH path loss reference RS-ID / P0-PUSCH-α set ID / closed-loop index is represented in the ULTCI-PUSCH power information. The ULTCI in the DCI corresponds to the PUSCH power control ID.

[0266] The UE can also determine the PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUSCH / α / closed-loop index based on the ULTCI in the DCI and the configured mapping. For example, when ULTCI = 0, the UE can also apply the PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUSCH / α / closed-loop index mapped to ULTCI-PUSCH power control ID = 0.

[0267] Upon receiving the spatial relation information and ULTCI-PUSCH power information, the UE obtains the mapping between the PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUSCH / α / closed-loop index and the code point of ULTCI in the DCI. When ULTCI is indicated in the DCI for scheduling PUSCH, the UE can also determine the PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUSCH / α / closed-loop index mapped to that ULTCI as the parameter used in PUSCH transmission power control. When the spatial relation information is not sent, the UE can also apply the above-mentioned Rel.16 PUSCH power control.

[0268] [Method 2-3]

[0269] The UE receives the DCI containing the identifier of the spatial relation information (spatial relation information ID) as specific information, and determines the parameter used in PUSCH transmission power control based on the spatial relation information ID and the mapping sent by higher layer signaling. This mapping is the mapping between the spatial relation information ID sent by higher layer signaling (RRC) and the parameter related to PUSCH transmission power control. The spatial relation information ID in the DCI corresponds to the spatial relation information ID in the higher layer signaling (RRC).

[0270] The mapping between the spatial relation information ID sent by higher layer signaling and the parameter related to PUSCH transmission power control can be included either in the PUSCH power control information element or in a new information element different from the PUSCH power control information element. The following explains each example.

[0271] Figure 12 is a diagram showing an example of the PUSCH power control information element in Method 2-3. As Figure 12 shown, the PUSCH power control information (PUSCH-PowerControl-r17) as an RRC parameter contains the ULTCI-PUSCH mapping (ULTCI-PUSCH-mapping-r17) corresponding to the ULTCI-PUSCH power control information (ULTCI-PUSCH-PowerControl-r17).

[0272] The UL TCI-PUSCH power control information (ULTCI-PUSCH-PowerControl-r17) includes the spatial relation information ID (spatialRelationInfoId-r17), the PUSCH path loss reference RS-ID (PUSCH-PathlossReferenceRS-Id), the P0-PUSCH-α set ID (P0-PUSCH-AlphaSetId), and the PUSCH-closed loop index (PUSCH-ClosedLoopIndex). That is, the mapping between the spatial relation information ID and the parameters (PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUSCH / α / closed loop index) used in the PUSCH transmission power control is represented in the PUSCH power control information element.

[0273] Figure 13 is a diagram showing an example of the UL TCI-PUSCH mapping setting information element in Mode 2-3. The UL TCI-PUSCH mapping setting information element is an example of a new information element different from the PUSCH power control information element. As Figure 13 shown, the UL TCI-PUSCH mapping information (ULTCI-PUSCH-mapping-r17) corresponds to the UL TCI-PUSCH power control information (ULTCI-PUSCH-PowerControl-r17). The information included in the UL TCI-PUSCH power control information (ULTCI-PUSCH-PowerControl-r17) is the same as that in the Figure 12 example shown.

[0274] When receiving the spatial relation information and the UL TCI-PUSCH power information, the UE obtains the mapping between the PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUSCH / α / closed loop index and the spatial relation information ID. When the spatial relation information ID is indicated in the DCI scheduling the PUSCH, the UE determines the PUSCH path loss reference RS / P0-PUSCH / α / closed loop index mapped to the spatial relation information ID as the parameters used in the PUSCH transmission power control. When the spatial relation information is not transmitted, the UE can also apply the PUSCH power control method of Rel.16.

[0275] In Mode 2-3, the UE may also support PUSCH transmission for multiple TRPs based on a single DCI (S-DCI, a DCI indicating multiple TCI states) (e.g., PUSCH transmission for multiple TRPs in Rel. 16). To support PUSCH transmission for multiple TRPs, the UE may also map the code points of the UL TCI in the DCI to multiple spatial relation information (spatial relation information ID). In Mode 2-3, the UL TCI code points in the DCI are easily mapped to multiple power control parameters.

[0276] According to the second embodiment, the UE can appropriately determine the parameters related to the PUSCH transmission power, so that the PUSCH transmission power can be appropriately controlled, and a reduction in communication throughput can be prevented.

[0277] <SRS Power Control in Rel. 16>

[0278] Figure 14 is a diagram showing an example of parameters related to the power control of the SRS in Rel. 16. As Figure 14 shown, in the RRC parameters, a certain SRS resource set (SRS-ResourceSet) includes α (alpha), P0, path loss reference RS (pathlossReferenceRS), and SRS power control adjustment states (srs-PowerControlAdjustmentStates) as parameters related to the power control of the SRS. The SRS power control in Rel. 16 can also be applied to the new unified UL TCI framework.

[0279] The path loss reference RS of the UL channel / RS is associated with the QCL / TCI state / spatial relation of the UL channel / RS. In the unified UL TCI framework, the path loss reference RS is set as a part of the unified spatial relation. The path loss reference RS is applied to PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS power control.

[0280] <Third Embodiment>

[0281] The UE receives, through higher layer signaling, information indicating the mapping of the identifier of the spatial relation information (spatial relation information ID) to the path loss reference reference signal (path loss reference RS), and based on the indicated spatial relation information ID and this mapping, determines the path loss reference RS to be used in the transmission power control. The UE uses the determined path loss reference RS to control the transmission power of PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS.

[0282] In the present disclosure, "spatial relationship", "spatial relationship information", and "spatial relationship information ID" can also be replaced with each other. "Path loss reference RS", "path loss reference RS ID", "path loss reference signal (path loss RS)", "path loss reference signal ID (path loss RS ID)", and "PL-RS" can also be replaced with each other.

[0283] The path loss reference RS in the third embodiment corresponds to q in formulas (1), (3), and (5). d That is, the path loss reference RS is a parameter used in PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS transmit power control.

[0284] [Mode 3-1]

[0285] In Mode 3-1, the information indicating the mapping between the spatial relationship information ID and the path loss reference signal (path loss reference RS) is included in the spatial relationship information (SpatialRelationInfo-r17) of the RRC parameter. That is, the UE receives the spatial relationship information including the information indicating the mapping.

[0286] Figure 15A And Figure 15B is a diagram showing the setting of the path loss reference RS in Mode 3-1. Figure 15A is a diagram showing the path loss reference RS setting information in Mode 3-1. The path loss reference RS setting information (ULTCI-PathlossReferenceRS-config-r17), as a new information element (RRC parameter), includes the path loss reference RS ID (PathlossReferenceRS-Id-r17) corresponding to the path loss reference RS (PathlossReferenceRS-r17).

[0287] Figure 15B is a diagram showing the spatial relationship information in Mode 3-1. As Figure 15B shown, the spatial relationship information as an RRC parameter includes the spatial relationship information ID (spatialRelationInfoId-r17) and the path loss reference RS ID (PathlossReferenceRS-Id-r17). That is, it represents the mapping between the spatial relationship information (spatial relationship information ID) and the path loss reference RS (path loss reference RS ID).

[0288] [Mode 3-2]

[0289] In Mode 3-2, the information indicating the mapping between the spatial relation information ID and the path loss reference reference signal (path loss reference RS) is included in the spatial relation information (SpatialRelationInfo-r17) of the RRC parameter. That is, the UE receives the spatial relation information including the information indicating the mapping.

[0290] Figure 16 FIG. shows the spatial relation information in Mode 3-2. As Figure 16 shown, the spatial relation information (SpatialRelationInfo-r17) as an RRC parameter includes the spatial relation information ID (spatialRelationInfoId-r17) and the path loss reference RS setting information (PathlossReferenceRS-Config-r17). That is, by directly setting the path loss reference RS in the spatial relation information, the mapping between the spatial relation information ID and the path loss reference RS is represented.

[0291] [Mode 3-3]

[0292] In Mode 3-3, the information indicating the mapping between the spatial relation information ID and the path loss reference reference signal (path loss reference RS) is included in the ULTCI path loss reference RS setting information (ULTCI-PathlossReferenceRS-config-r17) as a new RRC parameter. The path loss reference RS can also be replaced by the path loss RS. Specifically, the mapping is included in the ULTCI path loss RS (ULTCI-PLRS-r17) indicated by the ULTCI path loss reference RS setting information.

[0293] Figure 17 FIG. shows the ULTCI path loss reference RS setting information in Mode 3-3. As Figure 17 shown, the ULTCI path loss reference RS setting information as a new RRC parameter includes the ULTCI path loss RS (ULTCI-PLRS-r17) corresponding to the ULTCI path loss RS mapping (ULTCI-PLRS-mapping-r17). In addition, the ULTCI path loss RS (ULTCI-PLRS-r17) includes the spatial relation information ID (spatialRelationInfoId-r17) and the path loss reference RS ID (PathlossReferenceRS-Id-r17). That is, the ULTCI path loss reference RS setting information represents the mapping between the spatial relation information ID and the path loss reference RS.

[0294] [Mode 3-4]

[0295] In Mode 3-4, the information indicating the mapping of the spatial relation information ID to the path loss reference reference signal (path loss reference RS) is included in the ULTCI path loss RS mapping setting information (ULTCI-PLRS-mapping-config-r17) as a new RRC parameter. The path loss reference RS can also be replaced by the path loss RS.

[0296] Figure 18A FIG. shows the ULTCI path loss reference RS setting information in Mode 3-4. Figure 18A The shown ULTCI path loss reference RS setting information (ULTCI-PathlossReferenceRS-config-r17) is a new RRC parameter and includes the path loss reference RS (PathlossReferenceRS-r17).

[0297] Figure 18B FIG. shows the ULTCI path loss RS mapping setting information in Mode 3-4. Figure 18B The shown ULTCI path loss RS mapping setting information (ULTCI-PLRS-mapping-config-r17) as a new RRC parameter includes the ULTCI path loss RS (ULTCI-PLRS-r17) corresponding to the ULTCI path loss RS mapping (ULTCI-PLRS-mapping-r17). In addition, the ULTCI path loss RS (ULTCI-PLRS-r17) includes the spatial relation information ID (spatialRelationInfoId-r17) and the path loss reference RS ID (PathlossReferenceRS-Id-r17). That is, the ULTCI path loss RS mapping setting information represents the mapping of the spatial relation information ID to the path loss reference RS.

[0298] [UE operation]

[0299] In the power control of PUCCH / SRS / PUSCH, when the UE receives the spatial relation information (spatialRelationInfo-r17), the UE obtains the mapping of the spatial relation information ID to the path loss reference RS (path loss reference RS ID). When the spatial relation information ID for PUCCH resource / SRS resource / PUSCH transmission is set (indicated), the UE determines the path loss reference RS based on the spatial relation information ID and the obtained mapping. The spatial relation information ID is set (indicated) from a list set by RRC through at least one of MAC CE and DCI, for example.

[0300] In addition, at least a part of the first embodiment and the third embodiment relates to the determination of the path loss reference RS for PUCCH power control. At least a part of the second embodiment and the third embodiment relates to the determination of the path loss reference RS for PUSCH power control.

[0301] According to the third embodiment, the UE can appropriately determine the path loss reference RS used in PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS transmission power control, so that the PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS transmission power can be appropriately controlled, and a reduction in communication throughput can be prevented.

[0302] <Others>

[0303] In the present disclosure, "SpatialRelationInfo-r17" may also be replaced by "UL TCI-state r17" or "UL beam management r17". The processing in the present disclosure may also be applied only when the UE reports the capability information supporting the TCI state (UL beam management of Rel. 17). The report may be made for all channels or for each channel (e.g., PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS).

[0304] Cross-channel setting of UL TCI may also be allowed. For example, the UL TCI ID corresponding to the UL TCI setting set in a certain channel (SRS / PUCCH / PUSCH) may also be set as the UL TCI for other channels (SRS / PUCCH / PUSCH). The channel may also be replaced by a signal.

[0305] Cross-BWP / CC setting of UL TCI may also be allowed. For example, the UL TCI ID corresponding to the UL TCI setting set in a certain BWP / CC (e.g., BWP#1 / CC#1) may also be set as the UL TCI for other BWP / CC (e.g., BWP#2 / CC#2).

[0306] There are two interpretations for UL TCI in the present disclosure. "Replace" or "append" the current spatial relation. When the UL TCI replaces the current spatial relation, the UL TCI needs to include power control.

[0307] When the UL TCI is added to the current spatial relation, it is not necessary to include a power control indication in the UL TCI. When the UL TCI is set by a power control indication, the UE assumes the indication for high-speed transmission power control (transmission power control (TPC)). In cases where this is not so, the UE may also assume Rel. 15 / 16 for TPC (the current spatial relation mechanism for controlling TPC).

[0308] (Wireless communication system)

[0309] Hereinafter, the structure of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. In this wireless communication system, communication is performed using any one or a combination of the wireless communication methods according to the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0310] Figure 19 It is a diagram showing an example of the schematic structure of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment. The wireless communication system 1 may also be a system that realizes communication using Long Term Evolution (LTE) standardized by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the 5th generation mobile communication system New Radio (5G NR), or the like.

[0311] In addition, the wireless communication system 1 may also support dual connectivity (Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity (MR-DC)) between multiple radio access technologies (RATs). MR-DC may include dual connectivity between LTE (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)) and NR (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity (EN-DC)), dual connectivity between NR and LTE (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity (NE-DC)), and the like.

[0312] In EN-DC, the base station (eNB) of LTE (E-UTRA) is the master node (MN), and the base station (gNB) of NR is the secondary node (SN). In NE-DC, the base station (gNB) of NR is the MN, and the base station (eNB) of LTE (E-UTRA) is the SN.

[0313] The wireless communication system 1 may also support dual connectivity between multiple base stations within the same RAT (for example, dual connectivity where both the MN and the SN are base stations (gNBs) of NR (NR-NR dual connectivity (NN-DC))).

[0314] The wireless communication system 1 may also include a base station 11 that forms a macro cell C1 with a relatively wide coverage area, and a base station 12 (12a - 12c) that is configured within the macro cell C1 and forms a small cell C2 that is narrower than the macro cell C1. The user terminal 20 may also be located within at least one of the cells. The configuration, number, etc. of each cell and the user terminal 20 are not limited to the manner shown in the figure. Hereinafter, without distinguishing between the base stations 11 and 12, they are collectively referred to as the base station 10.

[0315] The user terminal 20 may also be connected to at least one of the multiple base stations 10. The user terminal 20 may also utilize at least one of carrier aggregation (CA) and dual connectivity (DC) that uses multiple component carriers (CCs).

[0316] Each CC may be included in at least one of a first frequency band (Frequency Range 1 (FR1)) and a second frequency band (Frequency Range 2 (FR2)). The macro cell C1 may be included in FR1, and the small cell C2 may be included in FR2. For example, FR1 may be a frequency band of 6 GHz or less (sub-6 GHz), and FR2 may be a frequency band higher than 24 GHz (above-24 GHz). Additionally, the frequency bands, definitions, etc. of FR1 and FR2 are not limited to these. For example, FR1 may correspond to a frequency band higher than FR2.

[0317] Furthermore, the user terminal 20 may communicate using at least one of time division duplex (TDD) and frequency division duplex (FDD) in each CC.

[0318] Multiple base stations 10 can also be connected via wire (e.g., optical fiber based on the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), X2 interface, etc.) or wirelessly (e.g., NR communication). For example, when NR communication is utilized as a backhaul between base stations 11 and 12, the base station 11 equivalent to the upper-level station can also be referred to as an Integrated Access Backhaul (IAB) donor, and the base station 12 equivalent to the relay station can also be referred to as an IAB node.

[0319] Base stations 10 can also be connected to the core network 30 via other base stations 10 or directly. The core network 30 can also include, for example, at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), 5G Core Network (5GCN), Next Generation Core (NGC), etc.

Additionally, in the wireless communication system 1, other wireless access methods (e.g., other single-carrier transmission methods, other multi-carrier transmission methods) can also be used in the wireless access methods of UL and DL.

[0325] User data, high-layer control information, a System Information Block (SIB), etc. are transmitted through the PDSCH. User data, high-layer control information, etc. can also be transmitted through the PUSCH. In addition, a Master Information Block (MIB) can also be transmitted through the PBCH.

The low-layer control information can also include, for example, downlink control information (Downlink Control Information (DCI)), and the downlink control information includes scheduling information of at least one of the PDSCH and the PUSCH.

[0327] In addition, the DCI that schedules the PDSCH can also be referred to as a DL allocation, a DL DCI, etc., and the DCI that schedules the PUSCH can also be referred to as a UL grant, a UL DCI, etc. In addition, the PDSCH can also be replaced with DL data, and the PUSCH can also be replaced with UL data.

[0328] In the detection of PDCCH, the control resource set (CORESET) and the search space can also be utilized. The CORESET corresponds to the resource for searching DCI. The search space corresponds to the search area and search method for PDCCH candidates. One CORESET can also be associated with one or more search spaces. The UE can also monitor the CORESET associated with a certain search space based on the search space configuration.

[0329] One search space can also correspond to PDCCH candidates equivalent to one or more aggregation levels. One or more search spaces can also be referred to as a search space set. Additionally, in the present disclosure, "search space", "search space set", "search space configuration", "search space set configuration", "CORESET", "CORESET configuration", etc. can also be used interchangeably.

[0330] Uplink control information (Uplink Control Information (UCI)) including at least one of channel state information (CSI), delivery confirmation information (such as hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK), ACK / NACK, etc.), and scheduling request (SR) can also be transmitted through PUCCH. The random access preamble for establishing a connection with the cell can also be transmitted through PRACH.

[0331] In addition, in the present disclosure, the downlink, uplink, etc. can also be expressed without "link". Furthermore, it can also be expressed without "Physical" at the beginning of various channels.

[0332] In the wireless communication system 1, it is also possible to transmit a synchronization signal (SS), a downlink reference signal (DL-RS), etc. As the DL-RS, in the wireless communication system 1, it is also possible to transmit a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), a positioning reference signal (PRS), a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS), etc.

A signal block including SS (PSS, SSS) and PBCH (and DMRS for PBCH) may also be referred to as an SS / PBCH block, an SS block (SS Block (SSB)), etc. In addition, SS, SSB, etc. may also be referred to as reference signals.

[0334] Furthermore, in the wireless communication system 1, as an uplink reference signal (UL-RS), it is also possible to transmit a reference signal for measurement (sounding reference signal (SRS)), a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), etc. In addition, DMRS may also be referred to as a UE-specific reference signal.

The transmitting and receiving unit 120 (220) can also be physically or logically separated and implemented by a transmitting unit 120a (220a) and a receiving unit 120b (220b).

[0395] The input device 1005 is an input device (such as a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, a switch, a button, a sensor, etc.) that accepts external input. The output device 1006 is an output device (such as a display, a speaker, a Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamp, etc.) that performs output to the outside. In addition, the input device 1005 and the output device 1006 can also be integrated into one structure (such as a touch panel).

[0396] In addition, each device such as the processor 1001 and the memory 1002 is connected by a bus 1007 for communicating information. The bus 1007 can be composed of a single bus or different buses can be used between each device.

[0397] In addition, the base station 10 and the user terminal 20 may also be configured to include hardware such as a microprocessor, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Part or all of the functional blocks may also be implemented using this hardware. For example, the processor 1001 may also be implemented using at least one of these hardware components.

[0398] (Variant example)

[0399] Furthermore, with regard to the terms described in this disclosure and the terms necessary for understanding this disclosure, they may also be replaced with terms having the same or similar meanings. For example, a channel, a symbol, and a signal (signal or signaling) may also be replaced with each other. In addition, a signal may also be a message. A Reference Signal can also be abbreviated as RS and may also be referred to as a Pilot, a pilot signal, etc. according to the applied standard. In addition, a Component Carrier (CC) may also be referred to as a cell, a frequency carrier, a carrier frequency, etc.

[0400] A radio frame may also be composed of one or more periods (frames) in the time domain. Each of the one or more periods (frames) constituting the radio frame may also be referred to as a subframe. Further, a subframe may also be composed of one or more time slots in the time domain. A subframe may also be a fixed time length (e.g., 1 ms) independent of the numerology.

[0401] Here, the numerology may also refer to communication parameters applied in at least one of the transmission and reception of a certain signal or channel. For example, the numerology may also represent at least one of a SubCarrier Spacing (SCS), a bandwidth, a symbol length, a cyclic prefix length, a Transmission Time Interval (TTI), the number of symbols per TTI, a radio frame structure, specific filtering processing performed by a transmitter-receiver in the frequency domain, specific windowing processing performed by a transmitter-receiver in the time domain, etc.

[0402] A time slot can also be composed of one or more symbols (such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbols, etc.) in the time domain. In addition, a time slot can also be a time unit based on a parameter set.

[0403] A time slot can also contain multiple mini-slots. Each mini-slot can also be composed of one or more symbols in the time domain. In addition, a mini-slot can also be referred to as a sub-slot. A mini-slot can also be composed of a smaller number of symbols than a time slot. A Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) (or Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)) transmitted in a time unit larger than a mini-slot can also be referred to as PDSCH (PUSCH) mapping type A. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using a mini-slot can also be referred to as PDSCH (PUSCH) mapping type B.

[0404] A radio frame, a sub-frame, a time slot, a mini-slot, and a symbol all represent time units when transmitting signals. A radio frame, a sub-frame, a time slot, a mini-slot, and a symbol can also use their respective other names. In addition, time units such as frames, sub-frames, time slots, mini-slots, and symbols in this disclosure can also be replaced with each other.

[0405] For example, a sub-frame can also be referred to as a Transmission Time Interval (TTI), multiple consecutive sub-frames can also be referred to as a TTI, a time slot or a mini-slot can also be referred to as a TTI. That is, at least one of a sub-frame and a TTI can be a sub-frame (1 ms) in the existing Long-Term Evolution (LTE), can also be a period shorter than 1 ms (for example, 1 - 13 symbols), or can also be a period longer than 1 ms. In addition, the unit representing a TTI can also not be referred to as a sub-frame, but as a time slot, a mini-slot, etc.

[0406] Here, a TTI refers to, for example, the minimum time unit of scheduling in wireless communication. For example, in an LTE system, a base station performs scheduling to allocate wireless resources (such as the frequency bandwidth and transmission power that can be used in each user terminal) to each user terminal in units of TTI. In addition, the definition of a TTI is not limited to this.

[0407] A TTI can also be the transmission time unit of a data packet (transmission block), a code block, a codeword, etc. that has undergone channel coding, and can also become the processing unit for scheduling, link adaptation, etc. In addition, when a TTI is given, the actual time interval (such as the number of symbols) for mapping a transmission block, a code block, a codeword, etc. can also be shorter than this TTI.

[0408] In addition, when a time slot or a mini-slot is referred to as a TTI, more than one TTI (i.e., more than one time slot or more than one mini-slot) can also be the minimum time unit for scheduling. In addition, the number of time slots (mini-slots) that constitute the minimum time unit for this scheduling can also be controlled.

[0409] A TTI with a time length of 1 ms can also be referred to as a normal TTI (TTI in 3GPP Rel.8-12), a standard TTI, a long TTI, a normal subframe, a standard subframe, a long subframe, a time slot, etc. A TTI shorter than the normal TTI can also be referred to as a shortened TTI, a short TTI, a partial TTI, a shortened subframe, a short subframe, a mini-slot, a sub-slot, a time slot, etc.

[0410] In addition, a long TTI (e.g., a normal TTI, a subframe, etc.) can also be replaced with a TTI having a time length exceeding 1 ms, and a short TTI (e.g., a shortened TTI, etc.) can also be replaced with a TTI having a TTI length less than that of the long TTI and 1 ms or more.

[0411] A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in the time domain and the frequency domain, and can also include one or more consecutive subcarriers (subcarriers) in the frequency domain. The number of subcarriers included in the RB can be the same regardless of the parameter set, for example, it can be 12. The number of subcarriers included in the RB can also be determined based on the parameter set.

[0412] In addition, an RB can also include one or more symbols in the time domain, and can also be the length of a time slot, a mini-slot, a subframe, or a TTI. A TTI, a subframe, etc. can also be composed of one or more resource blocks respectively.

[0413] In addition, one or more RBs can also be referred to as a physical resource block (PRB), a sub-carrier group (SCG), a resource element group (REG), a PRB pair, an RB pair, etc.

[0414] In addition, a resource block can also be composed of one or more resource elements (REs). For example, one RE can also be a radio resource area of a subcarrier and a symbol.

[0415] A Bandwidth Part (BWP) (which may also be referred to as partial bandwidth, etc.) may also represent a subset of consecutive common RBs (common resource blocks) used for a certain parameter set in a certain carrier. Here, the common RBs may also be determined by the indexes of the RBs based on the common reference point of the carrier. PRBs may also be defined in a certain BWP and be additionally numbered within that BWP.

[0416] A BWP may also include a UL BWP (BWP for UL) and a DL BWP (BWP for DL). For a UE, one or more BWPs may also be set within a carrier.

[0417] At least one of the set BWPs may also be active, and the UE may not assume to transmit and receive specific signals / channels outside the active BWP. In addition, "cell", "carrier", etc. in this disclosure may also be replaced with "BWP".

[0418] In addition, the above structures such as radio frames, subframes, time slots, mini time slots, and symbols are merely examples. For example, the number of subframes included in a radio frame, the number of time slots in each subframe or radio frame, the number of mini time slots included in a time slot, the symbols and the number of RBs included in a time slot or mini time slot, the number of subcarriers included in an RB, and the number of symbols, symbol length, Cyclic Prefix (CP) length, etc. within a TTI can be changed in various ways.

[0419] In addition, the information, parameters, etc. described in this disclosure may be represented by absolute values, may also be represented by relative values with respect to a specific value, or may also be represented by corresponding other information. For example, radio resources may also be indicated by specific indexes.

[0420] In this disclosure, the names used for parameters, etc. are not restrictive names in all aspects. Furthermore, the mathematical formulas, etc. using these parameters may also be different from those clearly disclosed in this disclosure. Various channels (PUCCH, PDCCH, etc.) and information elements can be identified by any suitable names, and thus, the various names assigned to these various channels and information elements are not restrictive names in all aspects.

[0421] The information, signals, etc. described in this disclosure can also be represented using any one of a variety of different technologies. For example, the data, instructions, commands, information, signals, bits, symbols, chips, etc. that may be mentioned throughout the above description can also be represented by voltage, current, electromagnetic waves, magnetic fields or magnetic particles, optical fields or photons, or any combination thereof.

[0422] In addition, information, signals, etc. can be output in at least one of the following directions: from a higher layer (upper layer) to a lower layer (lower layer), and from a lower layer to a higher layer. Information, signals, etc. can also be input and output via multiple network nodes.

[0423] The information, signals, etc. that are input and output can be stored in a specific location (e.g., a memory), or can be managed using a management table. The information, signals, etc. that are input and output can be overwritten, updated, or appended. The information, signals, etc. that are output can also be deleted. The information, signals, etc. that are input can also be sent to other devices.

[0424] The notification of information is not limited to the methods / embodiments described in this disclosure, and can also be performed using other methods. For example, the notification of information in this disclosure can also be implemented by physical layer signaling (e.g., downlink control information (Downlink Control Information (DCI)), uplink control information (Uplink Control Information (UCI))), higher layer signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, broadcast information (Master Information Block (MIB), System Information Block (SIB), etc.), Medium Access Control (MAC) signaling), other signals, or a combination thereof.

[0425] In addition, physical layer signaling may also be referred to as Layer 1 / Layer 2 (L1 / L2) control information (L1 / L2 control signal), L1 control information (L1 control signal), etc. In addition, RRC signaling may also be referred to as an RRC message, such as an RRC Connection Setup message, an RRC Connection Reconfiguration (RRC Connection Re-setting) message, etc. In addition, MAC signaling may also be notified, for example, using a MAC Control Element (MAC CE).

[0426] In addition, the notification of specific information (e.g., the notification of "is X") is not limited to explicit notification, and may also be performed implicitly (e.g., by not performing the notification of the specific information, or by the notification of other information).

[0427] The determination can be made by a value represented by one bit (0 or 1), by a true / false value (Boolean value) represented by true or false, or by a numerical comparison (e.g., comparison with a specific value).

[0428] Software, whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, micro-code, hardware description language, or by any other name, should be broadly interpreted to mean instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, programs, sub-programs, software modules, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, sub-routines, objects, executable files, execution threads, procedures, functions, etc.

[0429] In addition, software, instructions, information, etc. can also be sent and received via a transmission medium. For example, when software is sent from a website, server, or other remote source using at least one of wired technologies (coaxial cable, optical fiber cable, twisted pair, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), etc.) and wireless technologies (infrared rays, microwaves, etc.), at least one of these wired technologies and wireless technologies is included in the definition of the transmission medium.

[0430] Terms such as "system" and "network" used in this disclosure can be used interchangeably. A "network" can also mean a device (e.g., a base station) included in the network.

[0431] In this disclosure, terms such as "precoding", "precoder", "weight (precoding weight)", "Quasi-Co-Location (QCL)", "Transmission Configuration Indication state (TCI state)", "spatial relation", "spatial domain filter", "transmission power", "phase rotation", "antenna port", "antenna port group", "layer", "number of layers", "rank", "resource", "resource set", "resource group", "beam", "beam width", "beam angle", "antenna", "antenna element", "panel", etc. can be used interchangeably.

There are also cases where base stations are referred to using terms such as macro cell, small cell, femto cell, pico cell, etc.

[0433] A base station can accommodate one or more (e.g., three) cells. When the base station accommodates multiple cells, the overall coverage area of the base station can be divided into multiple smaller areas, and each of the smaller areas can also provide communication services through a base station subsystem (e.g., a small indoor base station (Remote Radio Head (RRH))). The term "cell" or "sector" refers to a part or the whole of the coverage area of at least one of the base station and the base station subsystem that provides communication services within this coverage range.

In addition, at least one of the base station and the mobile station also includes a device that does not necessarily move during communication operations. For example, at least one of the base station and the mobile station can also be an Internet of Things (IoT) device such as a sensor.

[0437] In addition, the base station in the present disclosure can also be replaced by a user terminal. For example, for a structure in which the communication between the base station and the user terminal is replaced by the communication between multiple user terminals (for example, it can also be referred to as Device-to-Device (D2D), Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), etc.), the various methods / embodiments of the present disclosure can also be applied. In this case, it can also be configured that the user terminal 20 has the functions of the above-mentioned base station 10. In addition, terms such as "uplink" and "downlink" can also be replaced by terms corresponding to inter-terminal communication (for example, "side"). For example, the uplink channel, the downlink channel, etc. can also be replaced by side channels.

[0438] Similarly, the user terminal in the present disclosure can also be replaced by a base station. In this case, it can also be configured that the base station 10 has the functions of the above-mentioned user terminal 20.

[0439] In the present disclosure, the actions performed by the base station sometimes may also be performed by its upper node according to the situation. Apparently, in a network including one or more network nodes having a base station, various operations for communicating with the terminal can be performed by the base station, one or more network nodes other than the base station (for example, considering the Mobility Management Entity (MME), Serving-Gateway (S-GW), etc., but not limited to these), or a combination thereof.

[0440] The various methods / embodiments described in the present disclosure can be used alone, combined, or switched during execution. In addition, the processing procedures, sequences, flowcharts, etc. of the various methods / embodiments described in the present disclosure can also be reordered as long as there is no contradiction. For example, for the methods described in the present disclosure, the elements of various steps are presented in an exemplary order, but are not limited to the specific order presented.

[0441] Each mode / embodiment described in the present disclosure can also be applied to Long Term Evolution (LTE), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Beyond (LTE-B), SUPER 3G, IMT-Advanced, 4th generation mobile communication system (4G), 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 6th generation mobile communication system (6G), xth generation mobile communication system (xG) (x is an integer or a decimal, for example), Future Radio Access (FRA), New-Radio Access Technology (RAT), New Radio (NR), New radio access (NX), Future generation radio access (FX), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM (registered trademark)), CDMA2000, Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX (registered trademark)), IEEE 802.20, Ultra-WideBand (UWB), Bluetooth (registered trademark), systems using other appropriate wireless communication methods, next-generation systems extended based on them, etc. In addition, multiple systems can also be combined (for example, a combination of LTE or LTE-A and 5G) for application.

[0442] The description "based on" used in the present disclosure does not mean "only based on" unless otherwise specified. In other words, the description "based on" means both "only based on" and "at least based on".

[0443] Any reference to an element using terms such as "first", "second", etc. used in this disclosure does not comprehensively define the quantity or order of these elements. These terms can be used in this disclosure as a convenient method for distinguishing between more than two elements. Therefore, the reference to the first and second elements does not mean that only two elements can be adopted, or that the first element must be prior to the second element in a certain form.

[0444] The term "determining" used in this disclosure may cover a variety of actions in some cases. For example, "determining" may also be a case where judging, calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up (searching, inquiry) (such as searching in a table, database or other data structures), ascertaining, etc. are regarded as performing "determining".

[0445] In addition, "determining" may also be a case where receiving (for example, receiving information), transmitting (for example, transmitting information), input, output, accessing (for example, accessing data in a memory), etc. are regarded as performing "determining".

[0446] In addition, "determining" may also be a case where resolving, selecting, choosing, establishing, comparing, etc. are regarded as performing "determining". That is, "determining" may also be a case where some actions are regarded as performing "determining".

[0447] In addition, "determining" may also be replaced by "assuming", "expecting", "considering", etc.

[0448] The "maximum transmit power" described in this disclosure can either refer to the maximum value of the transmit power, or the nominal maximum transmit power (the nominal UE maximum transmit power), or the rated maximum transmit power (the rated UE maximum transmit power).

[0449] Terms such as "connected" and "coupled" used in this disclosure, or all their variations, mean all direct or indirect connections or couplings between two or more elements, and can include the situation where there is one or more intermediate elements between the two elements that are "connected" or "coupled" to each other. The coupling or connection between elements can be physical, logical, or a combination of them. For example, "connected" can also be replaced by "access".

[0450] In this disclosure, when two elements are connected, it is possible to consider using one or more wires, cables, printed electrical connections, etc., and electromagnetic energy with wavelengths in the radio frequency domain, microwave region, and optical (both visible and invisible) regions, etc., as several non-limiting and non-inclusive examples, to be "connected" or "coupled" to each other.

[0451] In this disclosure, the term "A is different from B" can also mean "A and B are different from each other". In addition, this term can also mean "A and B are each different from C". Terms such as "separated" and "combined" can also be interpreted in the same way as "different".

[0452] When using "include", "including", and their variations in this disclosure, these terms, like the term "comprising", are meant to be inclusive. Furthermore, the term "or" used in this disclosure does not mean exclusive or.

[0453] In this disclosure, for example, in cases where articles are added through translation like a, an, and the in English, this disclosure can also include the situation where the nouns following these articles are in the plural form.

[0454] As described above, the invention related to the present disclosure has been described in detail. However, for those skilled in the art, the invention related to the present disclosure is obviously not limited to the embodiments described in the present disclosure. The invention related to the present disclosure can be implemented in the form of amendments and changes without departing from the gist and scope of the invention determined based on the description in the claims. Therefore, the description of the present disclosure is for illustrative purposes and does not carry any restrictive meaning for the invention related to the present disclosure.
