In addition, the device configuration of the antenna unit 11 included in the wireless transmitting unit 10a and the antenna unit 11 included in the wireless receiving unit 10b may be the same or different.
[0081] For example, the wireless transmission unit 10a may generate and transmit a baseband signal of PRACH. For example, the wireless transmission unit 10a may generate and transmit a baseband signal of PUCCH. For example, the wireless transmission unit 10a may generate and transmit a baseband signal of PUSCH. For example, the wireless transmission unit 10a may generate and transmit a baseband signal of PUCCH DMRS.

[0085] The radio resource control layer processing unit 16 included in the upper layer processing unit 14 performs RRC layer processing. The radio resource control layer processing unit 16 manages various setting information / parameters (RRC parameters) of the terminal device 1. The radio resource control layer processing unit 16 sets the RRC parameters based on the RRC message received from the base station device 3.
[0086] The wireless transceiver 10 (or the wireless transmission unit 10a) performs modulation, coding and other processing. The wireless transceiver 10 (or the wireless transmission unit 10a) generates a physical signal by modulating, coding and generating a baseband signal (converting to a time-continuous signal) the uplink data, and transmits it to the base station device 3. The wireless transceiver 10 (or the wireless transmission unit 10a) can configure the physical signal to a certain BWP (activate the uplink BWP) and transmit it to the base station device 3.
[0087] The wireless transceiver 10 (or wireless receiving unit 10b) performs demodulation, decoding and other processing.

[0088] The RF unit 12 converts the signal received by the antenna unit 11 into a baseband signal by orthogonal demodulation (down conversion) and removes unnecessary frequency components. The RF unit 12 outputs the processed analog signal to the baseband unit 13 .
[0089] The baseband unit 13 converts the analog signal input from the RF unit 12 into a digital signal. The baseband unit 13 removes a portion corresponding to a CP (Cyclic Prefix) from the converted digital signal, performs a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the signal after the CP is removed, and extracts a signal in the frequency domain.
[0090] The baseband unit 13 performs an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) on the uplink data to generate OFDM symbols, adds a CP to the generated OFDM symbols to generate a baseband digital signal, and converts the baseband digital signal into an analog signal. The baseband unit 13 outputs the converted analog signal to the RF unit 12.
[0091] The RF unit 12 uses a low-pass filter to remove unnecessary frequency components from the analog signal input from the baseband unit 13, up-converts the analog signal into a carrier frequency, and transmits it via the antenna unit 11. In addition, the RF unit 12 may also have a function of controlling the transmission power. The RF unit 12 is also called a transmission power control unit.

The terminal device 1 can identify the downlink BWP configured with the PUSCH based on the detection of DCI format 1_1 for PDSCH scheduling.
[0163] The DCI format 1_1 not including the BWP field may be a DCI format for scheduling the PDSCH without changing the activated downlink BWP. The terminal device 1 is a DCI format 1_1 for PDSCH scheduling, and can recognize that the PDSCH is received without switching the activated downlink BWP based on detecting the DCI format 1_1 not including the BWP field.
[0164] The DCI format 1_1 includes a BWP field, but in the case where the terminal device 1 does not support the function of switching the BWP through the DCI format 1_1, the terminal device 1 can ignore the BWP field. That is, the terminal device 1 that does not support the BWP switching function is the DCI format 1_1 used for PDSCH scheduling, and can recognize that the PDSCH is received without switching the activated downlink BWP based on the detection of the DCI format 1_1 including the WP field. Here, in the case where the terminal device 1 supports the BWP switching function, in the function information reporting process of the RRC layer, it can be reported that "the terminal device 1 supports the BWP switching function".
[0165] Alternatively, when the carrier indicator field is included in the DCI format 1_1, the carrier indicator field is used to indicate the downlink component carrier configured with the PDSCH. Alternatively, when the carrier indicator field is not included in the DCI format 1_1, the downlink component carrier configured with the PDSCH is the same as the downlink component carrier configured with the PDCCH including the DCI format 1_1 for scheduling the PDSCH. Alternatively, when the number of downlink component carriers set for the terminal device 1 in a certain service cell group is 2 or more (when downlink carrier aggregation is used in a certain service cell group), the number of bits of the carrier indicator field included in the DCI format 1_1 for scheduling the PDSCH configured for the certain service cell group is 1 bit or more (for example, 3 bits). Alternatively, when the number of downlink component carriers set for terminal device 1 in a certain service cell group is 1 (when downlink carrier aggregation is not used in a certain service cell group), the number of bits of the carrier indicator field included in the DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling of PDSCH configured for the certain service cell group is 0 (or, the carrier indicator field is not included in the DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling of PDSCH configured for the certain service cell group).
[0166] The PDSCH may be sent for delivering a transport block. The PDSCH may also be used to send a transport block distributed by the DL-SCH. The PDSCH may be used to deliver a transport block. The transport block may be configured on the PDSCH. The transport block corresponding to the DL-SCH may also be configured on the PDSCH. The base station device 3 may send the PDSCH. The terminal device 1 may receive the PDSCH.
[0167] A downlink physical signal may correspond to a set of resource elements. A downlink physical signal may not carry information generated in an upper layer. A downlink physical signal may be a physical signal used in a downlink component carrier. A downlink physical signal may be sent by a base station device 3. A downlink physical signal may also be sent by a terminal device 1. In a wireless communication system of one embodiment of the present invention, at least some or all of the following downlink physical signals may be used. Synchronization signal (SS) DL DMRS (DownLink DeModulation Reference Signal) CSI-RS (Channel State Information-Reference Signal) DL PTRS (DownLink Phase Tracking Reference Signal)
[0168] The synchronization signal can be used to synchronize one or both of the frequency domain and the time domain of the downlink for the terminal device 1. The synchronization signal is a general term for PSS (Primary Synchronization Signal) and SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal).
[0169] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an SS / PBCH block according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 7 In the figure, the horizontal axis is the time axis (OFDM symbol index l sym ), the vertical axis represents the frequency domain. In addition, block 700 represents a set of resource elements for PSS. In addition, block 702 represents a set of resource elements for SSS. In addition, four blocks (blocks 710, 711, 712, and 713) represent a set of resource elements for PBCH and DMRS for the PBCH (DMRS associated with PBCH, DMRS included in PBCH, DMRS corresponding to PBCH).
[0170] like Figure 7As shown, the SS / PBCH block includes PSS, SSS and PBCH. In addition, the SS / PBCH block includes 4 consecutive OFDM symbols. The SS / PBCH block includes 240 subcarriers. PSS is configured on the 57th to 183rd subcarriers in the first OFDM symbol. SSS is configured on the 57th to 183rd subcarriers in the third OFDM symbol. The 1st to 56th subcarriers of the first OFDM symbol can be set to zero. The 184th to 240th subcarriers of the first OFDM symbol can also be set to zero. The 49th to 56th subcarriers of the third OFDM symbol can also be set to zero. The 184th to 192nd subcarriers of the third OFDM symbol can also be set to zero. PBCH is configured in the subcarriers that are the 1st to 240th subcarriers of the second OFDM symbol and are not configured with DMRS for PBCH. PBCH is configured in the subcarriers that are the 1st to 48th subcarriers of the third OFDM symbol and are not configured with DMRS for PBCH. The PBCH is configured in the subcarriers which are the 193rd to 240th subcarriers of the third OFDM symbol and to which the DMRS for the PBCH is not configured. The PBCH is configured in the subcarriers which are the 1st to 240th subcarriers of the fourth OFDM symbol and to which the DMRS for the PBCH is not configured.
[0171] The antenna ports of PSS, SSS, PBCH, and DMRS for PBCH may be the same.
[0172] A PBCH conveying a symbol of a PBCH in a certain antenna port may be estimated based on a DMRS for the PBCH that is configured to a slot in which the PBCH is mapped and that is included in a SS / PBCH block including the PBCH.
[0173] DL DMRS is a general term for DMRS for PBCH, DMRS for PDSCH, and DMRS for PDCCH.
[0174] The set of antenna ports for DMRS for PDSCH (DMRS associated with PDSCH, DMRS included in PDSCH, DMRS corresponding to PDSCH) can be given based on the set of antenna ports for the PDSCH. That is, the set of antenna ports for DMRS for PDSCH can be the same as the set of antenna ports for the PDSCH.
[0175] The transmission of the PDSCH and the transmission of the DMRS for the PDSCH may be indicated (or scheduled) by one DCI format. The PDSCH and the DMRS for the PDSCH may be collectively referred to as the PDSCH. Transmitting the PDSCH may also be transmitting the PDSCH and the DMRS for the PDSCH.
[0176] The transmission path of the PDSCH can be estimated based on the DMRS used for the PDSCH. If a set of resource elements that transmit symbols of a certain PDSCH and a set of resource elements that transmit symbols of the DMRS used for the certain PDSCH are included in the same precoding resource group (PRG: Precoding Resource Group), the PDSCH that transmits the symbols of the PDSCH in a certain antenna port can be estimated based on the DMRS used for the PDSCH.
[0177] The antenna port for the DMRS of the PDCCH (DMRS associated with the PDCCH, DMRS included in the PDCCH, DMRS corresponding to the PDCCH) may be the same as the antenna port for the PDCCH.
[0178] The PDCCH can be estimated based on the DMRS used for the PDCCH. That is, the transmission path of the PDCCH can be estimated based on the DMRS used for the PDCCH. If the same precoding is applied (assumed to be applied, assumed to be applied) in a set of resource elements that convey symbols of a certain PDCCH and a set of resource elements that convey symbols of the DMRS used for the certain PDCCH, then the PDCCH that conveys the symbols of the PDCCH in a certain antenna port can be estimated based on the DMRS used for the PDCCH.
[0179] BCH (Broadcast CHannel), UL-SCH (Uplink-Shared CHannel) and DL-SCH (Downlink-Shared CHannel) are transport channels. Transport channels define the relationship between physical layer channels and MAC layer channels (also called logical channels).
[0180] The BCH of the transport layer is mapped to the PBCH of the physical layer. That is, the transport block of the BCH of the transport layer is distributed to the PBCH of the physical layer. In addition, the UL-SCH of the transport layer is mapped to the PUSCH of the physical layer. That is, the transport block of the UL-SCH of the transport layer is distributed to the PUSCH of the physical layer. In addition, the DL-SCH of the transport layer is mapped to the PDSCH of the physical layer. That is, the transport block of the DL-SCH of the transport layer is distributed to the PDSCH of the physical layer.
[0181] One UL-SCH and one DL-SCH may be provided for each serving cell. BCH may be provided by PCell. BCH may also not be provided by PSCell or SCell.
[0182] In the MAC layer, HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest) control is performed on each transport block.
[0183] BCCH (Broadcast Control CHannel), CCCH (Common Control CHannel) and DCCH (Dedicated Control CHannel) are logical channels. For example, BCCH is a channel of the RRC layer for sending MIB or system information. In addition, CCCH (Common Control CHannel) can be used to send RRC messages that are common to multiple terminal devices 1. Here, CCCH can be used for terminal devices 1 that are not RRC connected, for example. In addition, DCCH (Dedicated Control CHannel) can be used at least to send RRC messages dedicated to terminal device 1. Here, DCCH can be used for terminal devices 1 that are RRC connected, for example.
[0184] The upper layer parameters shared by multiple terminal devices 1 are also referred to as common upper layer parameters. Here, the common upper layer parameters can be defined as parameters specific to a serving cell. Here, the parameters specific to a serving cell can be parameters shared by the terminal devices (e.g., terminal devices 1-A, B, C) that set the serving cell.
[0185] For example, the common upper layer parameters may be included in an RRC message distributed to the BCCH. For example, the common upper layer parameters may be included in an RRC message distributed to the DCCH.
[0186] In a certain upper layer parameter, an upper layer parameter different from a common upper layer parameter is also referred to as a dedicated upper layer parameter. Here, the dedicated upper layer parameter can provide a dedicated RRC parameter to the terminal device 1-A that sets the service cell. That is, the dedicated RRC parameter is an upper layer parameter that can provide a specific setting for each of the terminal devices 1-A, B, and C.
[0187] The BCCH of the logical channel can be mapped to the BCH or DL-SCH of the transport layer. For example, a transport block including MIB information is distributed to the BCH of the transport layer. In addition, a transport block including system information other than MIB is distributed to the DL-SCH of the transport layer. In addition, CCCH is mapped to DL-SCH or UL-SCH. That is, the transport block mapped to CCCH is distributed to DL-SCH or UL-SCH. In addition, DCCH is mapped to DL-SCH or UL-SCH. That is, the transport block mapped to DCCH is distributed to DL-SCH or UL-SCH.
[0188] The RRC message includes one or more parameters managed in the RRC layer. Here, the parameters managed in the RRC layer are also referred to as RRC parameters. For example, the RRC message may include the MIB. In addition, the RRC message may also include system information. In addition, the RRC message may also include a message corresponding to the CCCH. In addition, the RRC message may also include a message corresponding to the DCCH. The RRC message including a message corresponding to the DCCH is also referred to as a dedicated RRC message.
[0189] The upper layer parameters (upper layer parameters) are RRC parameters or parameters included in MAC CE (Medium Access Control Control Element: control element of media access control). That is, the upper layer parameters are a general term for MIB, system information, messages corresponding to CCCH, messages corresponding to DCCH, and parameters included in MAC CE. The parameters included in MAC CE are sent through MAC CE (Control Element: control element) commands.

[0199] Message 2 is a process of attempting to detect DCI format 1_0 with CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) encrypted by RA-RNTI (Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identifier) by terminal device 1. Terminal device 1 attempts to detect PDCCH including the DCI format in resources indicated based on the settings of control resource set and search area set, wherein the settings of control resource set and search area set are given based on MIB of PBCH included in SS / PBCH block detected based on cell search. Message 2 is also called random access response.

[0204] Data communication is a general term for downlink communication and uplink communication.
[0205] In data communication, the terminal device 1 attempts to detect the PDCCH (monitor the PDCCH, monitor the PDCCH) in resources determined based on the control resource set and the search area set.
[0206] A control resource set is a set of resources consisting of a predetermined number of resource blocks and a predetermined number of OFDM symbols. In the frequency domain, a control resource set can be composed of continuous resources (non-interleaved mapping) or dispersed resources (interleaver mapping).
[0207] The set of resource blocks constituting the control resource set may be represented by an upper layer parameter. The number of OFDM symbols constituting the control resource set may also be represented by an upper layer parameter.
[0208] Terminal device 1 attempts to detect PDCCH in the search area set. Here, attempting to detect PDCCH in the search area set may be attempting to detect PDCCH candidates in the search area set, or attempting to detect DCI formats in the search area set, or attempting to detect PDCCH in the control resource set, or attempting to detect PDCCH candidates in the control resource set, or attempting to detect DCI formats in the control resource set.
[0209] The search area set is defined as a set of PDCCH candidates. The search area set can be a CSS (Common Search Space) set or a USS (UE-specific Search Space) set. Terminal device 1 attempts to detect PDCCH candidates in part or all of a type 0 PDCCH common search space set, a type 0a PDCCH common search space set, a type 1 PDCCH common search space set, a type 2 PDCCH common search space set, a type 3 PDCCH common search space set, and / or a UE-specific PDCCH search space set.
[0210] The type 0 PDCCH common search region set may be used as the common search region set of index 0. The type 0 PDCCH common search region set may also be the common search region set of index 0.
[0211] The CSS set is a general term for type 0 PDCCH common search area set, type 0a PDCCH common search area set, type 1 PDCCH common search area set, type 2 PDCCH common search area set, and type 3 PDCCH common search area set. The USS set is also called a UE-specific PDCCH search area set.
[0212] A certain search area set is associated with (includes, corresponds to) a certain control resource set. The index of the control resource set associated with the search area set may be represented by an upper layer parameter.
[0213] For a certain search area set, at least a part or all of 6A to 6C may be represented by upper layer parameters. 6A)PDCCH monitoring periodicity 6B)PDCCH monitoring pattern within a slot 6C)PDCCH monitoring offset
[0214] A monitoring occasion of a certain search area set may correspond to an OFDM symbol configured with an OFDM symbol of a starting point of a control resource set associated with the certain search area set. A monitoring occasion of a certain search area set may also correspond to resources of the control resource set starting from an OFDM symbol of a starting point of a control resource set associated with the certain search area set. The monitoring occasion of the search area set is given based on at least a portion or all of a monitoring interval of a PDCCH, a monitoring mode of a PDCCH within a time slot, and a monitoring offset of a PDCCH.

The detected downlink DCI format is also referred to as a downlink assignment. Terminal device 1 attempts to receive the PDSCH. Based on the PUCCH resource, the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the PDSCH (the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the transport block included in the PDSCH) is reported to base station device 3, wherein the PUCCH resource is indicated based on the detected downlink DCI format.

The DL time slot may be provided by the upper layer parameter tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon. The DL time slot may also be provided by the upper layer parameter tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated.
[0233] The variable symbol may be an OFDM symbol that is not set or indicated as a UL symbol or a DL symbol in an OFDM symbol within a certain period. The certain period may be a period given by the upper layer parameter dl-UL-TransmissionPeriodicity. The variable symbol may be an OFDM symbol set or indicated for PDSCH, PDCCH, PUSCH, PUCCH or PRACH.
[0234] The upper layer parameter tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon may be a parameter for setting any one of a UL time slot, a DL time slot, and a special time slot for each of one or more time slots. The upper layer parameter tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated may be a parameter for setting any one of a UL symbol, a DL symbol, and a variable symbol for a variable symbol in each of the one or more time slots. tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon may be a common upper layer parameter. tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated may be a dedicated upper layer parameter.
[0235] PUSCH-Config can be a dedicated upper layer parameter. PUSCH-ConfigCommon can be a common upper layer parameter. PUSCH-Config can be set for PUSCH transmission per BWP. PUSCH-Config can include multiple upper layer parameters related to PUSCH transmission. PUSCH-Config can be a UE-specific setting. For example, the PUSCH-Config for terminal device 1A, terminal device 1B and terminal device 1C in a cell or the multiple upper layer parameters included in the PUSCH-Config can be different. PUSCH-ConfigCommon can also be set for PUSCH transmission per BWP. PUSCH-ConfigCommon can include multiple upper layer parameters related to PUSCH transmission. PUSCH-ConfigCommon can be a cell-specific setting. For example, the PUSCH-ConfigCommon for terminal device 1A, terminal device 1B and terminal device 1C in a cell can be shared. For example, PUSCH-ConfigCommon can be given by system information.
[0236] Repeated transmission may also be applied to the PUSCH. For example, repeated transmission may also be applied to the PUSCH scheduled by DCI. In addition, repeated transmission may also be applied to the PUSCH scheduled by the set uplink grant. The PUSCH repetition type may be any one of PUSCH repetition type A and PUSCH repetition type B. The PUSCH repetition type may be set by upper layer parameters. The PUSCH repetition type may be based on the DCI format. For example, the first PUSCH repetition type of the PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_1 may be different from the second PUSCH repetition type of the PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_2.
[0237] The number of repetitions for PUSCH repeated transmission can be set by upper layer parameters. For example, the upper layer parameter numberOfRepetitioins can be a parameter including the number of repetitions for PUSCH repeated transmission. In the PUSCH repeated transmission corresponding to PUSCH repetition type A, the number of repetitions for PUSCH repeated transmission can be determined by the value of the upper layer parameter numberOfRepetitions. In PUSCH repetition type A, when there is numberOfRepetitions in the resource allocation table, the number of repetitions of the PUSCH scrambled by any one of C-RNTI, MCS-C-RNTI and CS-RNTI and sent through the DCI format indication with CRC can be equal to numberOfRepetitions. When a PUSCH-TimeDomainResourceAllocation includes one or more PUSCH-Allocations, the upper layer parameter numberOfRepetitions can be set for each PUSCH-Allocation. In addition, PUSCH-TimeDomainResourceAllocation can be called a resource allocation table.
[0238] The upper layer parameter push-AggregationFactor may be a parameter indicating the number of repetitions of PUSCH repetition transmission. In PUSCH repetition transmission corresponding to PUSCH repetition type A, the number of repetitions for PUSCH repetition transmission may be determined by the value of the upper layer parameter push-AggregationFactor. In PUSCH repetition type A, when push-AggregationFactor is set, the number of repetitions of PUSCH scrambled by any one of C-RNTI, MCS-C-RNTI and CS-RNTI and transmitted through a DCI format indication with an attached CRC may be equal to push-AggregationFactor. push-AggregationFactor may be set for PUSCH-Config.
[0239] The number of repetitions corresponding to PUSCH repetition type A may be the number of slots used for PUSCH repetition transmission. In addition, one TB may be repeated in one or more slots. PUSCH repetitions transmitted in different slots may apply the same OFDM symbol allocation.
[0240] In the PUSCH repetition transmission corresponding to the PUSCH repetition type B, it can be based on nominal repetition (NominalRepetition) and actual repetition (ActualRepetition).
[0241] The frequency hopping mode can be set by upper layer parameters. The upper layer parameters frequencyHopping, frequencyHoppingDCI-0-1 and frequencyHoppingDCI-0-2 can be parameters for providing a frequency hopping mode for PUSCH. For example, the frequency hopping mode corresponding to the frequency hopping for PUSCH can be set by frequencyHoppingDCI-0-2 in PUSCH-Config. In addition, the frequency hopping mode corresponding to the frequency hopping for PUSCH can also be set by frequencyHopping in PUSCH-Config. In addition, the frequency hopping mode corresponding to the frequency hopping for the set PUSCH transmission can also be set by frequency hopping (frequency Hopping) in configuredGrantConfig. The frequency hopping mode can be any one of intra-slot frequency hopping, inter-slot frequency hopping and inter-repetition frequency hopping. In addition, the frequency hopping interval corresponding to intra-slot frequency hopping can be within one slot. The frequency hopping interval corresponding to inter-slot frequency hopping can be one slot or multiple slots. The frequency hopping interval corresponding to inter-repetition frequency hopping can be based on nominal repetition.
[0242] For example, the frequency hopping interval may be provided by an upper layer parameter. For example, the upper layer parameter may be a dedicated upper layer parameter.
[0243] Whether to perform frequency hopping may be determined at least based on the DCI. Whether frequency hopping is applied to the PUSCH sent by the DCI format indication may be determined at least based on the value of the frequency hopping flag field included in the DCI format. Whether frequency hopping is applied to the PUSCH sent by the random access response indication may also be determined at least based on the value of the frequency hopping flag field included in the random access response grant. For example, frequency hopping for the PUSCH may also be performed based at least on the value of the frequency hopping flag field being 1.
[0244] Intra-slot frequency hopping may also be applied to PUSCH transmissions in one or more time slots. For example, intra-slot frequency hopping may also be applied to repeated PUSCH transmissions. For PUSCH to which intra-slot frequency hopping is applied, the configuration may be switched according to one or more OFDM symbols. For example, for PUSCH to which intra-slot frequency hopping is applied, the configuration of the resource block may be switched to be the first hop or the second hop according to one or more OFDM symbols. In addition, in the case of performing intra-slot frequency hopping for PUSCH, the first hop and the second hop may be switched according to one or more OFDM symbols. The difference between the position of the starting resource block of the first hop and the position of the starting resource block of the second hop may be RB offset RB offsetIt can be set by upper layer parameters. The one or more OFDM symbols can be within a time slot. The one or more OFDM symbols can be half of the number of OFDM symbols used for PUSCH in a time slot. Intra-time slot frequency hopping can be applied to PUSCH corresponding to PUSCH repetition type A.
[0245] Inter-slot frequency hopping can be applied to PUSCH transmissions in multiple time slots. For PUSCH to which inter-slot frequency hopping is applied, the configuration of resource blocks can be switched per time slot. For example, inter-slot frequency hopping can be applied to repeated PUSCH transmissions. In addition, in the case of performing inter-slot frequency hopping for PUSCH, the configuration of resource blocks can be switched per time slot as to whether they are the first hop or the second hop. For example, in a certain time slot, the slot index n μ s,f When the timeslot index n is an even number, the PUSCH transmission in the certain time slot may correspond to the first hop. μ s,f When t is an odd number, the PUSCH transmission in the certain time slot may correspond to the second hop. Inter-slot frequency hopping may be applied to a PUSCH corresponding to either PUSCH repetition type A or PUSCH repetition type B.
[0246] Inter-repetition hopping may be applied to a PUSCH corresponding to PUSCH repetition type B. For a PUSCH to which inter-repetition hopping is applied, a first hop and a second hop may be switched based on a nominal repetition.
[0247] For PUSCH, at least two transmission methods may also be supported. For example, codebook transmission (Codebook-basedtransmission) may be one of the transmission methods for PUSCH. For example, non-codebook transmission (Non-codebook-based transmission) may also be one of the transmission methods for PUSCH. The upper-layer parameters may provide either codebook transmission or non-codebook transmission. For example, when "codebook" is set for the upper-layer parameters, the terminal device 1 may set the codebook transmission. For example, when "nonCodebook" is set for the upper-layer parameters, the terminal device 1 may set the non-codebook transmission. The upper-layer parameter may be txConfig. The upper-layer parameter may also be usage. For example, when the upper-layer parameters are not set, the terminal device 1 may not expect to be scheduled through any of DCI formats 0_1 and DCI formats 0_2. When PUSCH is scheduled through DCI format 0_0, the transmission of the PUSCH may be based on at least one antenna port.
[0248] In codebook transmission, PUSCH can be scheduled by DCI format. The DCI format can be any one of DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2. In codebook transmission, PUSCH can be set to be transmitted semi-statically. Terminal device 1 can determine one or more precoders for PUSCH transmission. For example, the precoder can be determined based on at least part or all of SRI (SRS Resource indicator), TPMI (Transmitted Precoding Matrix Indicator) and transmission rank (Transmission rank or rank). For example, SRI can be provided by one or two DCI fields of SRS resource indicator (SRS resource indicator). For example, TPMI can be provided by one or two DCI fields of precoding information. For example, the transmission rank can be provided by the DCI field of the number of layers (number of transmission layers). For example, TPMI and transmission rank may be provided by one or two DCI fields of "precoding information and number of layers". SRI may be provided by a first upper layer parameter. TPMI and transmission rank may be provided by a second upper layer parameter. The first upper layer parameter may be srs-ResourceIndicator or srs-ResourceIndicator2. The second upper layer parameter may be precodingAndNumberOfLayers or precodingAndNumberOfLayers2.
[0249] The SRS resource set applied to the PUSCH may be determined based on an upper layer parameter. The PUSCH may be scheduled by DCI format 0_1 or DCI format 0_2. The upper layer parameter may be srs-ResourceSetToAddModList or srs-ResourceSetToAddModeListDCI-0-2. The upper layer parameter may be an upper layer parameter set in SRS-Config.
[0250] When "codebook" is set for the upper layer parameter usage, one or two SRS resource sets may be set in srs-ResourceSetToAddModList or srs-ResourceSetToAddModListDCI-0-2. The upper layer parameter usage may be set in the upper layer parameter SRS-ResourceSet.
[0251] In the case of setting an SRS resource set, the SRI and TPMI may be given by the DCI field. The DCI field may be an SRS resource indication and a DCI field of "precoding information and number of layers". TPMI may be used to indicate the precoder. The precoder may be applied across v layers {0...v-1}. In the case of setting multiple SRS resources, an SRS resource may be selected by SRI. The precoder may correspond to one SRS resource. The transmit precoder (precoder) may be selected from a codebook (uplink codebook). For example, a codebook may have the number of antenna ports. The number of antenna ports may be the same as the upper layer parameter nrofSRS-Ports. When the upper layer parameter txConfig is set to "codebook", the terminal device 1 may set at least one SRS resource. The indicated SRI may be associated with the transmission of the SRS resource determined by the SRI. For example, the indicated SRI may be associated with the most recent transmission of the SRS resource determined by the SRI, and the SRS resource may be before the PDCCH that transmits the SRI.
[0252] In the case of setting two SRS resource sets, one or two SRIs and one or two TPMIs may be given by the DCI field. For example, the DCI field may be one or both of the DCI field of the SRS resource indication and the DCI field of "precoding information and number of layers". The terminal device 1 may apply the indicated SRI and TPMI to one or more PUSCH repetitions. For example, the terminal device 1 may apply the indicated SRI and TPMI to one or more PUSCH repetitions according to the SRS resource set of the PUSCH repetition. Each TPMI may be used to indicate a precoder based on a code point indicated by the SRS resource set. The precoder may be applied to the 0th to v-1th layers. The precoder may correspond to the SRS resource selected by the SRI. Multiple SRS resources may be set for the applicable SRS resource set. For example, in the case of setting multiple SRS resources for the applied SRS resource set, the precoder may correspond to the SRS resource selected by the corresponding SRI. In one or two TPMIs, the transmitting precoder (precoder) may be selected from the codebook (uplink codebook). When indicating two SRIs, the terminal device 1 may expect the same number of antenna ports for the two indicated SRS resources. The number of antenna ports may be provided by an upper layer parameter. When two SRS resources are set, and when "codebook" is set for the upper layer parameter usage, the terminal device 1 may not expect different numbers of SRS resources to be set in the two SRS resource sets.
[0253] In codebook transmission, the terminal device 1 can determine a codebook subset. For example, the codebook subset can be determined based on at least TPMI. The codebook subset can be determined in response to the reception of a certain upper layer parameter. The certain upper layer parameter can be codebookSubset or codebookSubsetDCI-0-2. A certain upper layer parameter can be set to any one of "fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent", "partialAndNonCoherent" and "nonCoherent". In the case where "fullpowerMode2" is set for the upper layer parameter ul-FullPowerTrasmission, and in the case where "partialAndNonCoherent" is set for a certain upper layer parameter, and in the case where the SRS resource set used for the codebook includes at least one SRS resource with four ports and at least one SRS resource with two ports, the codebook subset associated with the two-port SRS resource (SRS resource with two ports) can be "nonCoherent". The maximum transmission rank (or maximum rank) can be set for PUSCH by the upper layer parameter maxRank or the upper layer parameter maxRankDCI-0-2.
[0254] The terminal device 1 may include UE capability. When the terminal device 1 reports the UE capability transmitted by "partialAndNonCoherent", the terminal device 1 may not expect to set the codebook subset with "fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent".
[0255] When the terminal device 1 reports the UE capability of "nonCoherent" transmission, the terminal device 1 may not expect to set a codebook subset with "fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent" or "partialAndNonCoherent".
[0256] When the upper layer parameter nrofSRS-Ports for the codebook indicates that the maximum number of SRS antenna ports set is 2, the terminal device 1 may not expect to set the upper layer parameter set to "partialAndNonCoherent". The upper layer parameter may be codebookSubset or codebookSubsetForDCI-Format0-2. The number of antenna ports may be determined by the upper layer parameter nrofSRS-Ports.
[0257] In codebook transmission, one SRS resource can be determined from an SRS resource set based on SRI. Except for the case where "fullpowerMode2" is set for the first upper layer parameter, the maximum number of SRS resources set for codebook transmission can be 2. The first upper layer parameter may be ul-FullPowerTransmission. The DCI may indicate the transmission of SRS resources. For example, when aperiodic SRS is set, the SRS request field in the DCI may indicate (trigger) the transmission of aperiodic SRS resources. The terminal device 1 may also not expect the first upper layer parameter to be set to "fullpowerMode1" and the second upper layer parameter to be set to "fullAndPartialAndNonCoherent".
[0258] Terminal device 1 may transmit PUSCH using a DCI format or an antenna port that is the same as one or more SRS ports (antenna ports) in an SRS resource indicated by an upper layer parameter. For example, the SRS port may be the same as the antenna port used for PUSCH transmission. The DMRS antenna port may be determined according to the ordering of the DMRS ports.
[0259] When a plurality of SRS resources are set by an SRS resource set, the terminal device 1 may expect that a higher-layer parameter nrofSRS-Ports having the same value is set for these SRS resources. The SRS resource set may be a higher-layer parameter SRS-ResourceSet with a higher-layer parameter usage in which "codebook" is set.
[0260] When "fullpowerMode2" is set for the upper-layer parameter, one or more SRS resources with the same or different number of SRS ports can be set in the SRS resource set for the codebook. When "fullpowerMode2" is set for the upper-layer parameter, and when multiple SRS resource sets are set in the SRS resource set, up to two different spatial relations (spatialrelations) can be set for all SRS resources in the SRS resource set for the codebook. When "fullpowerMode2" is set for the upper-layer parameter, up to two or four SRS resources can be set in the SRS resource set for the codebook. In addition, up to eight SRS resources can also be set in one SRS resource set. The SRS resource set for the codebook may be an SRS resource set with the upper-layer parameter usage set to which "codebook" is set.
[0261] In non-codebook transmission, PUSCH can be scheduled by DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1 or DCI format 0_2. In non-codebook transmission, PUSCH can be set semi-statically. Terminal device 1 can determine the precoder and transmission rank of PUSCH based on SRI. For example, when setting multiple SRS resources, SRI can be given by one or two SRS resource indications in DCI. For example, SRI can be given by upper layer parameters. The SRS resource set applied to PUSCH can be defined by the entry of the upper layer parameter. The upper layer parameter can be srs-ResourceSetToAddModList or srs-ResourceSetToAddModListDCI-0-2.
[0262] The terminal device 1 can use one or more SRS resources for SRS transmission. The maximum number of SRS resources in an SRS resource set can be sent to the base station device 3 as a UE capability. SRS resources can be set for simultaneous transmission in the same OFDM symbol. In an SRS resource set, there may be the maximum number of SRS resources set for simultaneous transmission in the same OFDM symbol, the maximum number of SRS resources, and the UE capability. Multiple SRS resources sent simultaneously may occupy the same resource block. An SRS port may be set in each SRS resource. One or two SRS resource sets may be set in the upper-layer parameter srs-ResourceSetToAddModList accompanied by the upper-layer parameter usage in which "nonCodebook" is set in the upper-layer parameter SRS-ResourceSet. In the case where two SRS resource sets are set, one or two SRIs may be given by the DCI field. The DCI field may be a DCI field indicated by two SRS resources.
[0263] The terminal device 1 may apply the indicated SRI to one or more PUSCH repetitions. For example, the terminal device 1 may apply the indicated SRI to one or more PUSCH repetitions according to the SRS resource sets of the PUSCH repetitions. The maximum number of SRS resources for each SRS resource set set for non-codebook transmission may be 4. The maximum number of SRS resources for each SRS resource set set for non-codebook transmission may be 8. The indicated one or two SRIs may be associated with the latest transmission of the SRS resources of the SRS resource set identified by the SRI, respectively. The SRS transmission may be before the PDCCH that conveys the SRI. The terminal device 1 may also not expect to set different numbers of SRS resources in the two SRS resource sets.
[0264] When multiple PDCCH candidates (PDCCH candidate(s)) are associated with a search region set configured by a higher layer parameter, one PDCCH candidate is used. The one PDCCH candidate may be the earlier started PDCCH candidate of the two PDCCH candidates. The higher layer parameter may be searchSpaceLinking.
[0265] In non-codebook transmission, the UE may calculate a precoder. For example, the precoder for SRS transmission may be calculated based on a measurement of the NZP CSI-RS resource. An NZP CSI-RS resource may be set for an SRS resource set for non-codebook. For example, an SRS resource set for non-codebook may be an SRS resource set with an upper layer parameter set to "nonCodebook".
[0266] In the case of setting an aperiodic SRS resource set, the NZP-CSI RS may be indicated via the SRS request field. The SRS request field may be one of the DCI fields in any one of DCI formats 0_1, DCI format 0_2, DCI format 1_1, and DCI format 1_2. The first upper layer parameter may indicate the association between an aperiodic SRS (aperiodic SRS triggering state) and an SRS resource set. The first upper layer parameter, the SRS resource to be triggered, the srs-ResourceSetId, and the csi-RS may be set in the upper layer parameter SRS-ResourceSet. The upper layer parameter csi-RS may indicate the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId. The upper layer parameter SRS-ResourceSet associated with the SRS request may be defined by an entry in a list as an upper layer parameter. The list as an upper layer parameter may be an upper layer parameter srs-ResourceSetToAddModList or srs-ResourceSetToAddModListDCI-0-2. Terminal device 1 may not expect to update precoding information (SRS precoding information). For example, when the interval from the last OFDM symbol of the reception of the non-periodic NZP-CSI-RS resource to the first OFDM symbol of the non-periodic SRS transmission is less than 42 OFDM symbols, terminal device 1 may not expect to update precoding information.
[0267] In the case of setting an aperiodic SRS associated with an aperiodic NZP CSI-RS resource, the presence of the associated CSI-RS can be indicated by the SRS request field. In the case where the value of the SRS request field is not "00", and in the case where the scheduling DCI is not used for cross carrier scheduling or cross BWP scheduling (cross bandwidth partscheduling), the presence of CSI-RS can be indicated by the SRS request field.
[0268] When a periodic or semi-persistent SRS resource set is set, the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceId used for measurement may be indicated via the upper layer parameter associatedCSI-RS.
[0269] The terminal device 1 can perform a one-to-one mapping. The one-to-one mapping can be a mapping from SRI to a DMRS port and a mapping from SRI to a corresponding PUSCH layer {0...v-1}. 0 to v-1 PUSCH layers can be given. v can be the number of layers. The number of layers can be set by upper layer parameters. The terminal device 1 can use the same antenna port as the SRS port to send PUSCH. For example, the SRS port in the SRS resource indicated by SRI can be additionally indexed as pi=1000+i. For example, the SRS port in the (i+1)th SRS resource can be pi. In addition, the SRS port in the (i+1)th SRS resource can be additionally indexed as pi. pi can be 1000+i.
[0270] In non-codebook transmission, the terminal device 1 may not expect to set both the spatial relation information (Spatial relation information (info)) for the SRS resource and the upper-layer parameter associatedCSI-RS in the upper-layer parameter SRS-ResourceSet for the SRS resource set. The spatial relationship information can be determined by the upper-layer parameter. The spatial relationship information can be the upper-layer parameter spatialRelationInfo. In non-codebook transmission, when at least one SRS resource is set in the SRS resource set with the upper-layer parameter set to "nonCodebook", the terminal device 1 can perform scheduling through DCI format 0_1 or DCI format 0_2.
[0271] One or more SRS resource sets (Sounding Reference Signal resource set) can be set by a first upper layer parameter. The first upper layer parameter can be SRS-ResourceSet or SRS-PosResourceSet. In each SRS resource set, K SRS resources can be set. K can be an integer greater than 1. The maximum value of K can be represented by UE capabilities. The maximum value of K can be 16. The adaptability of the SRS resource set can be set in a second upper layer parameter. The second upper layer parameter can be usage. For example, when "beamManagement" is set to the second upper layer parameter, one SRS resource in each of one or more SRS resource sets can be sent in a given time instance. Multiple SRS resources in different SRS resource sets can be sent simultaneously. For example, multiple SRS resources with the same time domain behavior can be sent simultaneously in different SRS resource sets of the same BWP.
[0272] In the non-periodic SRS, at least one DCI field may be used to select at least one from the set SRS resource set.
[0273] One or more SRS parameters may be set by a first upper layer parameter. For example, one or more SRS parameters may be set semi-statically by a second upper layer parameter. The first upper layer parameter may be SRS-Resource or SRS-PosResource. The second upper layer parameter may determine the SRS resource configuration identity. The second upper layer parameter. It may be srs-ResourceId or SRS-PosResourceId. One or more SRS parameters may be part or all of the first to twentieth upper layer parameters. One or more SRS parameters may include parameters having the same function as part or all of the first to twentieth upper layer parameters. One or more SRS parameters may be determined based on the DCI format.
[0274] The number of SRS ports N SRS apIt can be determined by a third upper layer parameter. The third upper layer parameter may be nrofSRS-Ports. The SRS port may be an antenna port. For example, the SRS port may be an antenna port for SRS. The time domain behavior of the SRS resource setting may be determined by a fourth upper layer parameter. The fourth upper layer parameter may be resourceType. For example, the time domain behavior may be any one of periodic, semi-persistent, and aperiodic. The period and offset may be determined by a fifth upper layer parameter. The period and offset may be slot-level. The period and offset may be defined for a periodic SRS resource or a semi-persistent SRS resource. The fifth upper layer parameter may be periodicityAndOffset-p or periodicityAndOffset-sp. For example, it may not be expected that multiple SRS resources with different periods are set in the same SRS resource set. In the case where "aperiodic" is set for the fourth upper layer parameter, the slot-level offset may be defined by a sixth upper layer parameter. The sixth upper layer parameter may be slotOffset. When the fourth upper layer parameter is set to "aperiodic", the list of available slot offset values may be defined by the seventh upper layer parameter. The seventh upper layer parameter may be AvailableSlotOffset. The list of available slot offset values may be a list of 0 to 4 different available slot offset values. When the reference slot is n+k, the available slot offset may be an offset from the n+k slot to a certain slot. A non-periodic SRS resource set may be sent in a certain slot. Slot n may be the slot of the DCI to be triggered. The DCI to be triggered may trigger the sending of a non-periodic SRS. Slot k may be determined by the sixth upper layer parameter. The seventh upper layer parameter may be set to up to four values. In the non-periodic SRS resource set, the slot-level offset may be defined by the sixth upper layer parameter for each SRS resource.
[0275] Furthermore, the number of OFDM symbols in the SRS resource (the number of consecutive OFDM symbols) N SRS symb The starting OFDM symbol (the starting position in the time domain) of the SRS resource may be defined by an eighth upper layer parameter. The eighth upper layer parameter may be resourceMapping. In addition, the number of repetitions (repetition factor: repetition factor) R facIt can be set by the eighth upper layer parameter. In the case where the number of repetitions is not set by the eighth upper layer parameter, the number of repetitions can be the same as the number of OFDM symbols in the SRS resource. SRS and C SRS It can be defined by the ninth upper layer parameter. In the case where the ninth upper layer parameter is not set, B SRS The ninth upper layer parameter may be freqHopping. The partial frequency sounding factor and the starting resource block index for partial frequency sounding may be defined by the tenth upper layer parameter. The tenth upper layer parameter may be FreqScalingFactor and StartRBIndex. The frequency domain position may be defined by the eleventh upper layer parameter. The settable shift may be defined by the twelfth upper layer parameter. The eleventh upper layer parameter may be freqDomainPosition. The twelfth upper layer parameter may be freqDomainShift.
[0276] The first number of OFDM symbols may be set by an eighth upper layer parameter. The second number of OFDM symbols may be determined based on the DCI format. When the first number of OFDM symbols is set, and when the second number of OFDM symbols is given, the number of OFDM symbols in the SRS resource may correspond to the second number of OFDM symbols.
[0277] The first number of repetitions may be set by an eighth upper layer parameter. The second number of repetitions may be determined based on the DCI format. When the first number of repetitions is set and the second number of repetitions is determined, the second number of repetitions may be used and the first number of repetitions may not be used.
[0278] Moreover, the number of intervals (number of transmission intervals) may be defined by a thirteenth upper layer parameter. The thirteenth upper layer parameter may be transmissionComb. The number of intervals may be any one of 2, 4, 8, and 16. The cyclic shift (cyclic shift initial value) may be defined by a fourteenth upper layer parameter. The fourteenth upper layer parameter may be any one of cyclicShift-n2, cyclicShift-n4, cyclicShift-n8, and cyclicShift-n16. The fourteenth upper layer parameter may be included in the thirteenth upper layer parameter. The interval offset (transmission interval offset) may be defined by a fifteenth upper layer parameter. The fifteenth upper layer parameter may be any one of combOffset-n2, combOffset-n4, combOffset-n8, and combOffset-n16. The fifteenth upper layer parameter may be included in the thirteenth upper layer parameter. The SRS sequence ID may be defined by a sixteenth upper layer parameter. The sixteenth upper layer parameter may be sequenceId.
[0279] The first cyclic shift (or cyclic shift initial value) may be set by a fourteenth upper layer parameter. The second cyclic shift (or cyclic shift initial value) may be determined based on the DCI format. In the case of setting the first cyclic shift initial value, and in the case of determining the second cyclic shift initial value, the second cyclic shift initial value may be used, and the first cyclic shift initial value may not be used. In the case of setting the first cyclic shift initial value, and in the case of determining the second cyclic shift initial value, the sum of the first cyclic shift initial value and the second cyclic shift initial value may be used.
[0280] The third cyclic shift (or cyclic shift initial value) may be determined based on one or more values. One of the one or more values may be the number of OFDM symbols in the SRS resource (the number of OFDM symbols constituting the SRS resource). One of the one or more values may be the number of repetitions (the number of repetitions for the SRS). One of the one or more values may also be the maximum number of cyclic shifts. That is, the third cyclic shift (or cyclic shift initial value) may be determined based on part or all of the number of OFDM symbols in the SRS resource, the number of repetitions, and the maximum number of cyclic shifts.
[0281] In the case of setting the first cyclic shift initial value, and in the case of determining the third cyclic shift initial value, the third cyclic shift initial value may be used, and the first cyclic shift initial value may not be used. In the case of setting the first cyclic shift initial value, and in the case of determining the third cyclic shift initial value, the sum of the first cyclic shift initial value and the third cyclic shift initial value may be used.
[0282] The first SRS sequence ID may be set by a sixteenth upper layer parameter. The second SRS sequence ID may be determined based on the DCI format. In the case of setting the first SRS sequence ID, and in the case of determining the second SRS sequence ID, the second SRS sequence ID may be used, and the first SRS sequence ID may not be used. In the case of setting the first SRS sequence ID, and in the case of determining the second SRS sequence ID, the sum of the first SRS sequence ID and the second SRS sequence ID may be used.
[0283] The third SRS sequence ID may be determined based on part or all of the number of OFDM symbols in the SRS resource, the number of repetitions, and the maximum number of cyclic shifts. In the case where the first SRS sequence ID is set and the third SRS sequence ID is determined, the third SRS sequence ID may be used and the first SRS sequence ID may not be used. In the case where the first SRS sequence ID is set and the third SRS sequence ID is determined, the sum of the first SRS sequence ID and the third SRS sequence ID may be used.
[0284] Moreover, the spatial relation between the reference signal (RS) and the SRS can be defined by the seventeenth upper layer parameter. For example, the spatial relation between the reference reference signal (referenceRS (reference signal)) and the target SRS (target SRS) can be set by the seventeenth upper layer parameter. The seventeenth upper layer parameter can be spatialRelationInfo or spatialRelationInfoPos. The setting of the spatial relationship may include the ID of the reference signal (reference reference signal). The reference signal may be an SS / PBCH block. The reference signal may also be a CSI-RS. The reference signal may also be a certain SRS. The reference signal may be set in a serving cell. For example, a serving cell may be indicated by the eighteenth upper layer parameter. A certain SRS may be set in a BWP in a serving cell. For example, a serving cell may be the same serving cell as the target SRS. For example, a BWP may be set by the nineteenth upper layer parameter. The eighteenth upper layer parameter may be servingCellId. The nineteenth upper layer parameter may be uplinkBWP. One or more SRS parameters may be set by the first upper layer parameter. For example, the first upper layer parameter may be SRS-Resource or SRS-PosResource.
[0285] When the twentieth upper parameter is not set, the number of intervals may be any one of 2, 4, and 8. When the twentieth upper parameter is set, the number of intervals may be any one of 2, 4, 8, and 16. When the twentieth upper parameter is not set, the fourteenth upper parameter may be any one of cyclicShift-n2, cyclicShift-n4, and cyclicShift-n8. When the twentieth upper parameter is set, the fourteenth upper parameter may be any one of cyclicShift-n2, cyclicShift-n4, cyclicShift-n8, and cyclicShift-n16.
[0286] The one or more SRS parameters may include part or all of the second upper layer parameter to the twentieth upper layer parameter. Sending SRS may be sending SRS resources. Sending SRS may also be sending SRS resource sets. SRS sending may also be SRS resource sending. SRS sending may also be SRS resource sending.
[0287] The SRS resource may occupy one or more OFDM symbols. For example, the SRS resource may occupy N of the six OFDM symbols at the end of a time slot. SRS symb OFDM symbols. N SRS symb It can be any one of 1, 2, and 4. For example, the SRS resource can occupy any one of the OFDM symbol positions in a time slot. For example, the SRS resource can also occupy N in a time slot. SRS symb N contiguous OFDM symbols. SRS ap The antenna ports can be mapped to each OFDM symbol of the resource. SRS ap It can be 4 or 8. For example, N of SRS resources SRS ap The antenna ports can be mapped to each OFDM symbol of the resource. SRS symb It can be any one of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 12. SRS symb It can be any one of 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 14. SRS ap When N is 8, SRS symb Can be an even number. For example, N SRS ap,1 antenna ports can be mapped to time slots with an even number of time slot indices. SRSap,2 N antenna ports can be mapped to slots with odd-numbered slot indices. SRS ap Can be N SRS ap,1 +N SRS ap,2 .
[0288] When PUSCH and SRS are transmitted in the same time slot, SRS may be set to be transmitted after PUSCH transmission. For example, when PUSCH and SRS are transmitted in one time slot in one serving cell, SRS may be set to be transmitted after DMRS corresponding to PUSCH is transmitted.
[0289] In the case where PUSCH transmission or PUCCH transmission overlaps with SRS transmission, SRS may not be transmitted in the repeated OFDM symbols. For example, in a serving cell, in the case where PUSCH transmission or PUCCH transmission overlaps with SRS transmission in the time domain, SRS may not be transmitted in the repeated OFDM symbols. In addition, in the case where PUSCH transmission or PUCCH transmission overlaps with SRS transmission, SRS may not be transmitted. For example, in N SRS ap When N is 8, and when PUSCH transmission or PUCCH transmission overlaps with SRS, SRS may not be transmitted. SRS ap When the OFDM symbol set is 8 and the PUSCH transmission or PUCCH transmission overlaps with the SRS, the SRS may not be transmitted in the repeated OFDM symbol set. The OFDM symbol set may consist of two OFDM symbols.
[0290] When "periodic" is set for the upper layer parameter resourceType, a target SRS resource (SRS resource) with a spatial domain transmission filter can be sent. When a certain upper layer parameter includes an ID, a target SRS resource with a spatial area filter can be sent. A spatial area filter can be used for receiving or sending a reference reference signal (reference signal). The reference reference signal can be an SS / PBCH block, a CSI-RS, or a certain SRS. For example, when a certain upper layer parameter includes any one of the IDs "ssb-Index", "ssb-IndexServing" and "ssb-IndexNcell", the reference reference signal can be an SS / PBCH block. For example, when a certain upper layer parameter includes any one of the IDs "csi-RS-Index" and "csi-RS-IndexServing", the reference reference signal can be a periodic CSI-RS (periodic CSI-RS) or a semi-persistent CSI-RS (semi-persistent CSI-RS). For example, when a certain higher layer parameter includes any one ID of "srs" and "srs-spatialRelation", the reference reference signal may be a periodic SRS (periodicSRS). The reference reference signal may be a DL PRS.
[0291] When the upper layer parameter resourceType is set to "semi-persistent", the first time slot (n+3N subframe,μ slotSRS transmission starts from the first time slot after the first time slot of the PUCCH. For example, the assumption in SRS transmission can be applied from the first time slot. Time slot n can be a time slot in which PUCCH is transmitted. For example, PUCCH can have HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the PDSCH that conveys the activation command. That is, in the case of receiving the activation command, SRS transmission can be started from the first time slot. In addition, in the case of receiving the activation command, the assumption in SRS transmission can also be applied from the first time slot. The activation command may include an assumption of a spatial relationship (or spatial relationship). The assumption of a spatial relationship can be provided by a list. The list can be a list of reference signal IDs. For example, the reference signal ID can refer to any one of the SS / PBCH blocks, NZP CSI-RS resources and SRS resources respectively. NZP CSI-RS resources can be set in a service cell. SRS resources can be set in a service cell and an uplink BWP. For example, a service cell can be indicated by the first field in the activation command. For example, an uplink BWP can be indicated by the second field in the activation command. The first field may be a Resource Serving Cell ID field. The second field may be a Resource BWP ID field. For example, a serving cell may be the same serving cell as the SRS resource set. For example, an uplink BWP may be the same uplink BWP as the SRS resource set.
[0292] In the case where one SRS resource in the SRS resource set (resource set) to be activated is set by an upper layer parameter, it can be assumed that the ID of the first reference signal in the activation command overwrites the ID of the second reference signal in the upper layer parameter. The upper layer parameter may be spatialRelationInfo or spatialRelationInfoPos.
[0293] In the case of receiving a deactivation command and in the case of sending a PUCCH in time slot n, the stop of SRS transmission may be applied starting from the first time slot. The deactivation command may be delivered via the PDSCH. The PUCCH may include HARQ-ACK information corresponding to the PDSCH. The stop of SRS transmission corresponding to the SRS resource set to be deactivated may be applied starting from the first time slot. The first time slot may be n+3N subframe,μ slot μ may be the SCS setting for PUCCH.
[0294] In the case where the terminal device 1 has an active semi-persistent SRS resource configuration and does not receive a deactivation command, the semi-persistent SRS resource configuration can be considered to be active in an uplink BWP. An uplink BWP can be valid. In addition, in the case where the terminal device 1 has an active semi-persistent SRS resource configuration and receives a deactivation command, the semi-persistent SRS resource configuration can be suspended.
[0295] When "aperiodic" is set for the upper layer parameter resourceType, part or all of Action 1 to Action 7 may be applied.
[0296] Action 1 may be receiving a configuration of one or more SRS resource sets.
[0297] Action 2 may be receiving a command. A command may be a command based on a downlink DCI. A command may also be a command based on a group common DCI. A command may also be a command based on an uplink DCI. The minimum time interval may be N2 OFDM symbols and an additional time period T. switch The minimum time interval may also be the minimum time interval from the last OFDM symbol of the PDCCH that triggers the non-periodic SRS transmission to the first OFDM symbol of the SRS resource. The minimum time interval may also be N2+14 OFDM symbols and the additional time period T switch The minimum time interval may be determined based on at least the minimum SCS. The minimum SCS may be the smallest SCS among the SCSs of the PDCCH, the first uplink carrier, the second uplink carrier, and the SRS. The additional time period T switch Can be 0.
[0298] Action 3 may be to trigger aperiodic SRS without data and CSI. For example, DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2 may trigger aperiodic SRS. Aperiodic SRS may also not include data and CSI.
[0299] In action 4, the terminal device 1 may send an SRS in each of one or more SRS resource sets and in the t+1th available time slot. The SRS may be a non-periodic SRS. One or more SRS resource sets may be triggered by a DCI. A DCI triggering a non-periodic SRS may be received in a first time slot n. At least one resource set (SRS resource set) may be set by an upper layer parameter availableSlotOffset. Available time slots may be counted from a second time slot. The second time slot may be determined based at least on the first time slot and an offset value (time slot k). The offset value may be set by a second upper layer parameter. The second upper layer parameter may be slotOffset. A second upper layer parameter may be set for each of one or more SRS resource sets to be triggered. Available time slots may be time slots that satisfy a condition. The condition may be the presence of UL symbols or variable symbols for a time domain position corresponding to multiple SRS resources in a resource set (SRS resource set). The condition may be a UEcapability that satisfies a minimum timing request. The minimum timing request may be the minimum timing request between the PDCCH to be triggered and all SRS resources in a resource set. From the first OFDM symbol of the DCI that conveys the SRS request to the OFDM symbol at the end of the SRS resource set to be triggered, the terminal device 1 may not expect to receive the SFI indication in the variable symbol, the UL cancellation indication, and the dynamic scheduling of the downlink channel / signal. From the first OFDM symbol of the DCI that conveys the SRS request to the OFDM symbol at the end of the SRS resource set to be triggered, the terminal device 1 may not expect to change the determination of the available time slot. The t may be set by a third upper layer parameter. The third upper layer parameter may be availableSlotOffset. For example, t may be set to a maximum of four values for each of one or more SRS resource sets to be triggered. t may be based on the subcarrier spacing (subcarrier spacing) of the SRS to be triggered. In an SRS resource set where the third upper layer parameter is not set, t may be 0.
[0300] Action 5 may be to send an SRS in each of one or more SRS resource sets and in a first time slot. The SRS may be an aperiodic SRS. A DCI triggering an aperiodic SRS may be received in time slot n. There may also be no resource set (SRS resource set) for setting a first upper layer parameter. A second upper layer parameter may also be set. The second upper layer parameter may be ca-SlotOffset. The first time slot may be determined based on at least time slot n and time slot k.
[0301] Action 6 may be to send the target SRS resource with a spatial region filter.
[0302] Action 7 may be to apply the update of the spatial relationship for one SRS resource to the SRS transmission. The SRS transmission may be from n+3N subframe,μ slot Time slot n starts from the first time slot after time slots. μ can be the SCS setting of PUCCH. The update command can be transmitted through PDSCH. HARQ-ACK corresponding to PDSCH can be sent in time slot n. An SRS resource can be set by the upper layer parameter SRS-Resource. Terminal device 1 can receive an update command (spatial relation update command: spatial relationship update command). The update command may include an assumption of a spatial relationship. The assumption of a spatial relationship may be provided by a list. The list may be a list of references to one or more reference signal IDs.
[0303] Setting the upper layer parameter resourceType to "aperiodic" can mean that the SRS resource corresponds to the aperiodic SRS (aperiodic). Setting the upper layer parameter resourceType to "semi-persistent" can mean that the SRS resource corresponds to the semi-persistent SRS (semi-persistent). Setting the upper layer parameter resourceType to "periodic" can mean that the SRS resource corresponds to the periodic SRS (periodic).
[0304] It is also possible not to expect that the time domain behavior corresponding to one or more SRS resources in an SRS resource set is different. For example, it is also possible not to expect that different time domain behaviors are set for one or more SRS resources in an SRS resource set. It is also possible not to expect that different time domain behaviors are set between SRS resource sets associated with SRS resources.
[0305] It is also possible not to expect to set one or more OFDM symbols in one carrier to overlap with the first SRS resource and the second SRS resource. For example, the first SRS resource can be set by the upper layer parameter SRS-PosResource. The second SRS resource can be set by the upper layer parameter SRS-Resource. The resourceType of both the first SRS resource and the second SRS resource can be "periodic".
[0306] It is also possible not to expect that the transmission of the first SRS will be triggered or activated. For example, the first SRS may be an SRS in one or more OFDM symbols. One or more OFDM symbols may overlap with the first SRS resource and the second SRS resource. For example, the first SRS resource may be set by the upper layer parameter SRS-PosResource. The second SRS resource may be set by the upper layer parameter SRS-Resource. The resourceType of both the first SRS resource and the second SRS resource may be "semi-persistent" or "aperiodic".
[0307] It is not necessary to set a plurality of OFDM symbols overlapping with a plurality of SRS resources in one carrier. The plurality of SRS resources can be set by an upper layer parameter SRS-PosResource whose resourceType of the plurality of SRS resources is "periodic".
[0308] It is also possible not to expect to trigger or activate the transmission of SRS in multiple OFDM symbols in one carrier. The multiple OFDM symbols may be OFDM symbols that overlap with multiple SRS resources. The multiple SRS resources may be set by the upper layer parameter SRS-PosResource with the resourceType of the multiple SRS resources being "semi-persistent" or "aperiodic".
[0309] In the PUCCH and SRS in one carrier, when the first SRS is set, the terminal device 1 may not send the SRS. The first SRS may be set in the same OFDM symbol as the PUCCH. The PUCCH may only transmit the CSI report. The PUCCH may also only transmit the L1-RSRP report. The PUCCH may also only transmit the L1-SINR report. When setting or triggering the transmission of the second SRS, the terminal device 1 may also send the SRS. The second SRS may be any one of a semi-persistent SRS and a periodic SRS set to be sent in the same OFDM symbol as the PUCCH. The second SRS may be a non-periodic SRS triggered to be sent in the same OFDM symbol as the PUCCH. The PUCCH may transmit part or all of the HARQ-ACK, link recovery request, and scheduling request (Scheduling request: SR). In the case where the SRS is not sent due to duplication with the PUCCH, only the SRS symbols that are repeated with the PUCCH symbols may be discarded. In addition, in N SRS apWhen the SRS symbol is 8, the SRS symbol that overlaps with the PUCCH symbol and the SRS symbol that does not overlap with the PUCCH symbol may be discarded. In the case where the transmission of the aperiodic SRS is triggered due to overlap with the PUCCH, the PUCCH may not be transmitted.
[0310] When an SRS resource corresponding to the resourceType set to "aperiodic" is triggered in one or more OFDM symbols in which periodic or semi-persistent SRS transmission is set, the terminal device 1 may transmit an aperiodic SRS resource or discard the periodic or semi-persistent SRS in the repeated OFDM symbols. It may also transmit the periodic or semi-persistent SRS in the non-repeated OFDM symbols. SRS ap When N is 8, the periodic or semi-persistent SRS in non-repeating OFDM symbols may be discarded. Discarding may also be not sending. When the SRS resource corresponding to the resourceType setting "semi-persistent" is triggered in one or more OFDM symbols in which periodic SRS transmission is set, the terminal device 1 may send the semi-persistent SRS resource or discard the periodic SRS in the repeated OFDM symbols. It is also possible to send the periodic SRS in non-repeating OFDM symbols. SRS ap When the value is 8, the periodic or semi-persistent SRS in the repeated OFDM symbol set can also be discarded.
[0311] In the case where a spatial relationship (spatialRelationInfo) is activated or updated for a first SRS resource, a spatial relationship may be applied to a second SRS resource. The first SRS resource may be a semi-persistent SRS resource or an aperiodic SRS resource. The second SRS resource may be a semi-persistent SRS resource or an aperiodic SRS resource having the same SRS resource ID. The second SRS resource may be a semi-persistent SRS resource or an aperiodic SRS resource having the same SRS resource ID for all BWPs in the determined multiple CCs. The first SRS resource may be set by an upper layer parameter. The spatial relationship may be activated or updated by a MAC CE for a set of multiple CCs (component carriers) or / and multiple BWPs. The list of multiple CCs may be set by an upper layer parameter. The upper layer parameter may be simultaneousSpatial-UpdatedList 1 or simultaneousSpatial-UpdatedList2.
[0312] The repetition factor R can be set for an SRS resource. facThe number of repetitions can be set by an upper layer parameter. The number of repetitions can be any one of 1, 2, and 4. The number of repetitions can also be any one of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, and 14. The number of repetitions Rfac can also be set by the upper layer parameter resourceMapping in the upper layer parameter SRS-Resource. The number of repetitions R fac It can be determined based on the DCI format. The number of repetitions can be N SRS symb the following.
[0313] Number of repetitions and N SRS symb The same can also be done without setting the frequency hopping. SRS symb The same may also be that one or both of cyclic shift hopping and sequence hopping are not set. Each of the multiple antenna ports of an SRS resource can be mapped to the first set. For example, when frequency hopping is not set, each of the multiple antenna ports of an SRS resource in each time slot can be mapped to the first set in all N SRS symb OFDM symbols are mapped to the first set. The first set may be a set of one or more subcarriers. The first set may also be a set of one or more subcarriers in the second set. The second set may be a set of one or more PRBs. For example, when frequency hopping is not set in an SRS resource in each time slot, each of the multiple antenna ports of an SRS resource in each time slot may be mapped to the first set in all N OFDM symbols. SRS symb OFDM symbols are mapped to the first set.
[0314] The first one or more antenna ports may correspond to the first CS (Cyclic shift) set. For example, in the case where cyclic shift hopping is not configured, the first one or more antenna ports in each time slot may correspond to the first CS (Cyclic shift) set. SR Ssymb OFDM symbols corresponding to the first CS set. The first CS set may be a set of cyclic shifts αi corresponding to the first one or more antenna ports pi. For example, when cyclic shift hopping is not set in one SRS resource in each time slot, the first one or more antenna ports in each time slot may be in all N SRS symb OFDM symbols correspond to the first CS set.
[0315] Furthermore, when frequency hopping is set within one SRS resource in each time slot and there is no repetition (the number of repetitions is 1), each of the antenna ports of one SRS resource in each time slot can be mapped to a different set in each OFDM symbol. A set can be a set of one or more subcarriers. The same number of intervals (transmission comb value) can be assumed for different sets.
[0316] Furthermore, when cyclic shift hopping is set in one SRS resource in each time slot, and there is no repetition (the number of repetitions is 1), the first one or more antenna ports in each time slot can be mapped to different CS sets in each OFDM symbol. The CS set can be a set of cyclic shifts αi corresponding to the first one or more antenna ports pi. The same number of intervals (transmission comb value) can be assumed for different CS sets.
[0317] In the case of setting frequency hopping and repetition, each of the one or more antenna ports of one SRS resource may be mapped to a subcarrier included in an n-th subcarrier set in an OFDM symbol included in an n-th OFDM symbol set. fac contiguous OFDM symbol pairs. fac It can be the number of repetitions. The nth subcarrier set can be composed of one or more subcarriers. n can be a large integer greater than 1. For example, n can be N SRS symb / R fac The nth subcarrier set may be composed of one or more subcarriers different from the subcarrier sets other than the nth subcarrier set. When frequency hopping and repetition are set in one SRS resource in each time slot, each of the antenna ports of one SRS resource in each time slot may be fac Each of the OFDM symbol pairs is mapped to the same subcarrier set, or frequency hopping is performed between the two pairs according to the SRS frequency hopping mode. Frequency hopping can be applied frequency hopping, executed frequency hopping, or set frequency hopping according to the SRS frequency hopping mode.
[0318] In the case of setting cyclic shift hopping and repetition, one or more antenna ports (SRS ports) may correspond to the nth cyclic shift in the OFDM symbols included in the nth OFDM symbol set. fac contiguous OFDM symbol pairs. fac It can be the number of repetitions. The nth cyclic shift can be the nth CS set. n can be a large integer greater than 1. For example, the maximum number of n can be N SRS symb / Rfac When cyclic shift hopping and repetition are set in one SRS resource in each time slot, the antenna port of one SRS resource in each time slot can be fac The OFDM symbol pair may correspond to the same cyclic shift, or the cyclic shift hopping may be performed between the two pairs according to the cyclic shift hopping mode. The cyclic shift hopping may be applied cyclic shift hopping, performed cyclic shift hopping, or set cyclic shift hopping according to the cyclic shift hopping mode. Whether to apply cyclic shift hopping can be set by upper layer parameters.
[0319] When the number of antenna ports is 8, N SRS symb / R fac It can be an even number. When the number of antenna ports is 8, N SRS symb / R fac It can be more than 2. When the number of antenna ports is 8, a first antenna port set and a second antenna port set can be determined. The antenna port set can be composed of four antenna ports. The first subcarrier set mapping the first antenna port set in the first OFDM symbol can be the same as the second subcarrier set mapping the second antenna port set in the second OFDM symbol. The first OFDM symbol can be different from the second OFDM symbol. When the number of antenna ports is 8, cyclic shift hopping can be applied.
[0320] For example, the antenna ports included in the first antenna port set of an SRS resource can be respectively mapped to the first subcarrier set in the first OFDM symbol included in the first OFDM symbol set. The antenna ports included in the second antenna port set can be respectively mapped to the first subcarrier set in the second OFDM symbol included in the first OFDM symbol set. The antenna ports included in the first antenna port set can be respectively mapped to the second subcarrier set in the first OFDM symbol included in the second OFDM symbol set. The antenna ports included in the second antenna port set can be respectively mapped to the second subcarrier set in the second OFDM symbol included in the second OFDM symbol set. Switching the mapping from the first subcarrier set to the second subcarrier set can also be called frequency hopping. That is, when the number of antenna ports is 8, it can be switched every N. SRS symb / R fac Frequency hopping is applied to OFDM symbols. An OFDM symbol set may consist of more than two OFDM symbols. A subcarrier set may consist of one or more subcarriers. An antenna port set may consist of four antenna ports.
[0321] For example, when the number of antenna ports is less than 4, the first frequency hopping frequency (first SRS frequency hopping pattern) may be applied. When the number of antenna ports is 8, the second frequency hopping frequency (second SRS frequency hopping pattern) may be applied. The first SRS frequency hopping pattern may be different from the second SRS frequency hopping pattern.
[0322] A non-periodic SRS resource with frequency hopping in a time slot can be set within a BWP. When the number of repetitions is 1 and frequency hopping is set, SRS symb The full hopping bandwidth can be sounded in equal-size subbands within two symbols. The full hopping bandwidth can also be sounded in equal-size subbands within two pairs. The two pairs can be respectively represented by R fac Each of the antenna ports of the SRS resource can be mapped to the same subcarrier set in each OFDM symbol set. The OFDM symbol set can be R fac A subcarrier set can be a set of one or more subcarriers. fac A pair of adjacent OFDM symbols may be OFDM symbols of the resource.
[0323] Periodic or semi-persistent SRS resources with inter-slot or intra-slot frequency hopping can be set within a BWP. SRS resources can occupy the same OFDM symbol position in each time slot. SRS resources of N symbols can occupy the same OFDM symbol position in each time slot. SRS symb When the number of repetitions is 2 and the frequency hopping is set, intra-slot frequency hopping and inter-slot frequency hopping can be supported in each of the multiple antenna ports. Each of the multiple antenna ports can be mapped to different subcarrier sets in two pairs in each time slot. The two pairs can be R fac The antenna ports of the SRS resources may be mapped to the same set of subcarriers in each pair. In addition, the first portion of the antenna ports of the SRS resources may be mapped to the first set of subcarriers in each pair. The second portion of the antenna ports of the SRS resources may be mapped to the second set of subcarriers in each pair.
[0324] A periodic or semi-persistent SRS resource with cyclic shift hopping can be set within a BWP. The SRS resource can occupy the same OFDM symbol position in each time slot. The SRS resource of N symbols can occupy the same OFDM symbol position in each time slot. SRS symbWhen the number of repetitions is 2 and cyclic shift hopping is set, one or more antenna ports may correspond to different CS sets in two pairs in each time slot. The two pairs may be R fac The antenna ports of the SRS resources may be mapped to the same CS set in each pair. In addition, the first part of the antenna ports of the SRS resources may be mapped to the first CS set in each pair. The second part of the antenna ports of the SRS resources may be mapped to the second CS set in each pair.
[0325] The SRS resource can be set by an upper layer parameter. For example, the upper layer parameter can be SRS-Resource. For example, the upper layer parameter can also be SRS-PosResource. The number of antenna ports can be determined for the SRS resource. The number of consecutive OFDM symbols can also be determined for the SRS resource. The starting position of the time domain can also be determined for the SRS resource. The starting position of the frequency domain can also be determined for the SRS resource. The number of intervals can also be determined for the SRS resource. The maximum number of cyclic shifts can also be determined for the SRS resource. The length of the SRS sequence can also be determined for the SRS resource.

SRS ap , the number of consecutive OFDM symbols N SRS symb , part or all of the starting position l0 in the time domain and the starting position k0 in the frequency domain. Number of antenna ports N SRS ap It can be the number of antenna ports used for SRS. For example, the number of antenna ports N SRS a It can be provided by the first upper layer parameter. The first upper layer parameter can be nrofSRS-Ports. The number of antenna ports N SRS ap It can be any one of 1, 2, 4 and 8. The antenna port pi can be based on at least the number of antenna ports N SRS ap For example, i can be 0 to N SRS ap -1, the antenna port pi may be i+1000. The antenna port pi may be based at least on the number of antenna ports N SRS ap Whether it is determined by the first upper layer parameter. In the case where the first upper layer parameter is not provided, the number of antenna ports N SRS apIt can be 1. The antenna port can be any one of 1000, 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005, 1006, and 1007.
[0327] The number of consecutive OFDM symbols N SRS symb It can be any one of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12. For example, the number of consecutive OFDM symbols N SRS symb It can be determined by an upper layer parameter. The upper layer parameter may be nrofSymbols. The upper layer parameter may be an upper layer parameter resourceMapping including a field of nrofSymbols.
[0328] The starting position l0 of the time domain can be determined by N slot symb -1-l offset Given. Offset l offset Can be an integer from 0 to 13. Offset l offset It can be counted backwards from the end of the time slot. offset It can be determined by upper layer parameters. The upper layer parameters can be resourceMapping. The upper layer parameters can include the startPosition field. offset Can be N SRS symb -1 or more.
[0329] An SRS sequence (Sounding Reference Signal Sequence) may be generated. For example, an SRS sequence may be generated for an SRS resource. (pi) (n, 1′) can be generated by using a part or all of Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3, and Formula 4. [Formula 1] [Formula 2] [Formula 3] [Formula 4]

The index 1′ of the OFDM symbol can be 0 to N SRS symb -1 index. The δ in formula 1 can be log2(K TC ). Interval number K TC It can be any value among 2, 4, and 8. The number of intervals K TC It can be set by an upper layer parameter. For example, the upper layer parameter may be transmissionComb.

The group number may be an integer from 0 to 29. One group number may correspond to one group.

N ZC It can be the largest prime number less than a certain value. For example, a certain value can be M SRS Sc,b .
[0332] The cyclic shift αi may be a cyclic shift for antenna port pi. For example, antenna port pi and cyclic shift αi may be determined for each i. The cyclic shift αi may be determined by Formula 5.
[0333] α′ may be an initial cyclic shift value. In the case where cyclic shift hopping is not applied, α′ may be 0. For example, the initial cyclic shift value may be determined by the DCI format. The initial cyclic shift value may be 2πR fac / N SRS symb For example, in the case of applying cyclic shift frequency hopping, it is possible to fac and N SRS symb One or both of them are used to determine the initial value of the cyclic shift.
[0334] Index 1″ can be 1′. 1″ can be floor(1′ / R fac ). 1″ can be {0, 1...N SRS symb / R fac -1}. That is, 1″ can be the index of the time domain. [Formula 5]
