Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network, Long Term Evolution (LTE) has been standardized for the purpose of further high-speed data rates and low latency (Non-Patent Document 1).

[0007] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0008] In future wireless communication systems (e.g., NR), research is underway to report channel state information (CSI) based on the reception of reference signals. In addition, research is underway to perform DL transmissions from multiple transmission / reception points (multiple Transmission / Reception Points (TRPs) or Multi TRP (MTRP)) or multiple panels (multi-panel) to terminals (user terminals or User Equipment (UE)). In addition, research is underway to perform coherent joint transmission (CJT) using multiple TRPs or multiple panels.

[0009] However, there has been no sufficient research on the setting / reporting of CSI for multiple TRPs / multi-panels. If such a method is not clearly defined, there is a concern that communication throughput, communication quality, etc. will deteriorate.

[0010] Therefore, one of the objects of the present disclosure is to provide a terminal, a wireless communication method and a base station that are capable of appropriately performing CSI reporting for multiple TRPs / multiple panels.

[0031] (Multiple TRP)

[0032] In NR, one or more transmission / reception points (Transmission / Reception Point (TRP)) (multi TRP (multi TRP (MTRP))) are being studied using one or more panels (multi-panels) to perform DL transmission to the UE. In addition, the UE is studying the use of one or more panels to perform UL transmission to one or more TRPs.

[0033] In addition, multiple TRPs may correspond to the same cell identifier (cell identifier (ID)) or different cell IDs. The cell ID may be a physical cell ID or a virtual cell ID.

[0034] Multiple TRPs (TRP#1, #2) can also be connected through an ideal / non-ideal backhaul and exchange information, data, etc. Different code words (CW) and different layers can also be sent from each TRP of the multiple TRPs. As a method of sending multiple TRPs, non-coherent joint transmission (NCJT) can also be used.

[0035] In NCJT, for example, TRP1 performs modulation mapping on a first codeword, and performs layer mapping to send a first PDSCH using a first precoding for a first number of layers (e.g., two layers). In addition, TRP2 performs modulation mapping on a second codeword, and performs layer mapping to send a second PDSCH using a second precoding for a second number of layers (e.g., two layers).

[0036] In addition, multiple PDSCHs (multi-PDSCHs) subjected to NCJT may also be defined as partially or completely overlapping with respect to at least one of the time domain and the frequency domain. That is, the first PDSCH from the first TRP and the second PDSCH from the second TRP may also overlap in at least one of the time and frequency resources.

[0037] It can also be assumed that the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH are not in a quasi-co-location (QCL) relationship (not quasi-co-located). The reception of multiple PDSCHs can also be rewritten as simultaneous reception of PDSCHs of a certain QCL type (eg, QCL type D).

[0038] Multiple PDSCHs from multiple TRPs (also referred to as multiple PDSCHs) can also be scheduled using one DCI (single DCI (S-DCI), single PDCCH) (single-master mode). One DCI can also be sent from one TRP of multiple TRPs. Multiple PDSCHs from multiple TRPs can also be scheduled separately using multiple DCIs (multiple DCIs (M-DCI), multiple PDCCHs (multiplePDCCH)) (multiple-master mode). Multiple DCIs can also be sent separately from multiple TRPs. It can also be imagined that the UE sends separate CSI reports (CSI reports) related to each TRP for different TRPs. Such CSI feedback can also be referred to as separate feedback, separate CSI feedback, etc. In the present disclosure, "separate" can also be rewritten with "independent".

[0039] In addition, CSI feedback that sends CSI reports related to both TRPs to one TRP may also be used. Such CSI feedback may also be referred to as joint feedback, joint CSI feedback, etc.

[0040] For example, in the case of separate feedback, the UE is configured to use a certain PUCCH (PUCCH1) to send a CSI report for TRP#1 for TRP#1, and use another PUCCH (PUCCH2) to send a CSI report for TRP#2 for TRP#2. In the case of joint feedback, for TRP#1 or TRP#2, the UE sends a CSI report for TRP#1 and a CSI report for TRP#2.

[0041] Based on such a multi-TRP scenario, more flexible transmission control using channels of good quality can be performed.

[0042] (CSI report or CSI reporting)

[0043] In Rel.15NR, a terminal (also referred to as a user terminal, user equipment (UE), etc.) generates (also referred to as determining, calculating, estimating, measuring, etc.) channel state information (CSI) based on a reference signal (RS) (or resources used for the RS), and sends (also referred to as reporting, feedback, etc.) the generated CSI to a network (e.g., a base station). The CSI may be sent to a base station using, for example, an uplink control channel (e.g., a physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH))) or an uplink shared channel (e.g., a physical uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH))).

[0044] The RS used in the generation of CSI may be, for example, at least one of a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), a Synchronization Signal / Broadcast Channel (SynchronizationSignal / Physical Broadcast Channel) (SS / PBCH) block, a Synchronization Signal (SS), a demodulation reference signal (DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS)), etc.

[0045] The CSI-RS may also include at least one of a non-zero power (NZP) CSI-RS and a CSI-Interference Management (CSI-IM). The SS / PBCH block is a block including the SS and the PBCH (and the corresponding DMRS), and may also be referred to as an SS block (SSB), etc. In addition, the SS may also include at least one of a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS).

[0046] In addition, CSI may also include at least one of a channel quality indicator (Channel Quality Indicator (CQI)), a precoding matrix indicator (Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI)), a CSI-RS resource indicator (CSI-RSResource Indicator (CRI)), a SS / PBCH block resource indicator (SS / PBCH Block Resource Indicator (SSBRI)), a layer indicator (Layer Indicator (LI)), a rank indicator (Rank Indicator (RI)), L1-RSRP (reference signal received power in layer 1 (layer 1 reference signal received power (Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power))), L1-RSRQ (reference signal received quality (Reference Signal Received Quality)), L1-SINR (signal to interference plus noise ratio (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio)), L1-SNR (signal to noise ratio (Signal to Noise Ratio)), etc.

[0047] The UE may also receive information related to CSI reporting (report configuration information) and control CSI reporting based on the report configuration information. The report configuration information may also be, for example, "CSI-ReportConfig" of the information element (IE) of the Radio Resource Control (RRC). In addition, in the present disclosure, the RRC IE may also be mutually rewritten with RRC parameters, high-layer parameters, etc.

[0048] The report configuration information (eg, "CSI-ReportConfig" of RRC IE) may include, for example, at least one of the following.

[0049] Information related to the type of CSI report (report type information, for example, "reportConfigType" of RRC IE)

[0050] Information on one or more quantities (quantities) of CSI to be reported (one or more CSI parameters) (report quantity information, for example, "reportQuantity" of RRC IE)

[0051] Information on RS resources used in generating the quantity (the CSI parameter) (resource information, for example, "CSI-ResourceConfigId" of RRC IE)

[0052] Information related to the frequency domain that is the subject of CSI reporting (frequency domain information, for example, "reportFreqConfiguration" of RRC IE)

[0053] For example, the report type information may also represent (indicate) a periodic CSI (P-CSI) report, an aperiodic CSI (A-CSI) report, or a semi-permanent (semi-persistent, semi-persistent (Semi-Persistent)) CSI (Semi-Persistent CSI (SP-CSI)) report.

[0054] In addition, the reporting amount information may also specify a combination of at least one of the above-mentioned CSI parameters (for example, CRI, RI, PMI, CQI, LI, L1-RSRP, etc.).

[0055] In addition, the resource information may be an ID of a resource for RS. The resource for RS may include, for example, a non-zero-power CSI-RS resource or SSB, and a CSI-IM resource (for example, a zero-power CSI-RS resource).

[0056] In addition, the frequency domain information can also indicate the frequency granularity of the CSI report. The frequency granularity may also include, for example, a broadband and a subband. The broadband is the entire CSI reporting band (entire CSI reporting band). For example, the broadband may be the entirety of a certain (certain) carrier (component carrier (CC), cell, serving cell), or the entirety of the bandwidth part (Bandwidth part (BWP)) within a certain carrier. The broadband may also be rewritten as the CSI reporting band, the entire CSI reporting band, etc.

[0057] In addition, a subband is a part of a wideband and may be composed of one or more resource blocks (Resource Block (RB) or Physical Resource Block (PRB)). The size of a subband may also be determined according to the size of a BWP (the number of PRBs).

[0058] The frequency domain information may also indicate which PMI of the wideband or subband is reported (the frequency domain information may also be included in the "pmi-FormatIndicator" of the RRC IE used in the determination of either the wideband PMI report or the subband PMI report, for example). The UE may also determine the frequency granularity of the CSI report (i.e., either the wideband PMI report or the subband PMI report) based on at least one of the above-mentioned reporting amount information and the frequency domain information.

[0059] When wideband PMI reporting is configured (determined), one wideband PMI may be reported for the entire CSI reporting band. On the other hand, when subband PMI reporting is configured, a single wideband indication i1 may be reported for the entire CSI reporting band, or a subband indication i2 (e.g., a subband indication for each subband) may be reported for each of more than one subbands within the entire CSI reporting band.

[0060] The UE performs channel estimation using the received RS and estimates a channel matrix H. The UE feeds back an index (PMI) determined based on the estimated channel matrix.

[0061] The PMI may also represent a precoder matrix (also referred to as a precoder) that the UE considers suitable for downlink (downlink (DL)) transmission to the UE. Each value of the PMI may also correspond to a precoder matrix. The set of PMI values ​​may also correspond to a set of different precoder matrices called a precoder codebook (also referred to as a codebook).

[0062] In the spatial domain, the CSI report may also include more than one type of CSI. For example, the CSI may also include at least one of a first type (type 1 CSI) used in the selection of a single beam and a second type (type 2 CSI) used in the selection of multiple beams. A single beam may also be rewritten as a single layer, and multiple beams may also be rewritten as multiple beams. In addition, type 1 CSI may not assume multi-user multiple input multiple output (MIMO), while type 2 CSI may assume multi-user MIMO.

[0063] The above codebook may also include a codebook for type 1 CSI (also referred to as type 1 codebook, etc.) and a codebook for type 2 CSI (also referred to as type 2 codebook, etc.). In addition, type 1 CSI may also include type 1 single-panel CSI and type 1 multi-panel CSI, and different codebooks (type 1 single-panel codebook, type 1 multi-panel codebook) may also be specified.

[0064] In the present disclosure, type 1 and type I may be replaced by each other. In the present disclosure, type 2 and type II may be replaced by each other.

[0065] The uplink control information (UCI) type may also include at least one of a hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgment (HARQ-ACK), a scheduling request (SR), and CSI. UCI may be carried by either PUCCH or PUSCH.

[0066] In Rel.15NR, UCI can include a CSI part for wideband PMI feedback. CSI report #n contains PMI wideband information if reported.

[0067] In Rel.15NR, UCI can include two CSI parts for subband PMI feedback. CSI part 1 includes wideband PMI information. CSI part 2 includes one wideband PMI information and several subband PMI information. CSI part 1 and CSI part 2 are coded separately.

[0068] In Rel.15NR, the UE is configured with N (N≥1) CSI report settings and M (M≥1) CSI resource settings through the high layer. For example, the CSI report setting (CSI-ReportConfig) includes resource settings for channel measurement (resourcesForChannelMeasurement), CSI-IM resource settings for interference (csi-IM-ResourceForInterference), NZP-CSI-RS settings for interference (nzp-CSI-RS-ResourceForInterference), report quantity (reportQuantity), etc. The resource setting for channel measurement, the CSI-IM resource setting for interference, and the NZP-CSI-RS setting for interference are associated with the CSI resource setting (CSI-ResourceConfig, CSI-ResourceConfigId), respectively. The CSI resource setting includes a list of CSI-RS resource sets (csi-RS-ResourceSetList, for example, an NZP-CSI-RS resource set or a CSI-IM resource set).

[0069] In order to realize the premise (hypotheses) of more dynamic channel / interference for NCJT for both FR1 and FR2, the evaluation and regulation of CSI reports for transmission of multiple TRPs and at least one of multiple panels in DL are being studied.

[0070] (Codebook Setting)

[0071] The UE is configured with parameters related to the codebook (codebook configuration (CodebookConfig)) through higher layer signaling (RRC signaling). The codebook configuration is included in the CSI report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) of the higher layer (RRC) parameters.

[0072] In the codebook setting, at least one codebook of type 1 single panel (typeI-SinglePanel), type 1 multi-panel (typeI-MultiPanel), type 2 (typeII), and type 2 port selection (typeII-PortSelection) is selected.

[0073] The codebook parameters include parameters related to codebook subset restriction (CBSR) (...Restriction). The CBSR setting is a bit that indicates which PMI report is allowed ("1") or which PMI report is not allowed ("0") for the precoder associated with the CBSR bit. One bit of the CBSR bitmap corresponds to one codebook index / antenna port.

[0074] (CSI report settings)

[0075] In addition to the codebook configuration (CodebookConfig), the CSI report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) of Rel.16 also includes CSI-RS resources for channel measurement (resourcesForChannelMeasurement(CMR)), CSI-RS resources for interference measurement (csi-IM-ResourcesForInterference(ZP-IMR), nzp-CSI-RS-ResourcesForInterference(NZP-IMR)), etc. The parameters of CSI-ReportConfig except codebookConfig-r16 are also included in the CSI report configuration of Rel.15.

[0076] In Rel.17, an enhanced CSI report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) for CSI measurement / reporting of multiple TRPs using NCJT is being studied. In this CSI report configuration, two CMR groups corresponding to each of the two TRPs are set. The CMRs in the CMR group can also be used for measurements of at least one of the multiple TRPs and single TRPs using NCJT. The N CMR pairs of NCJT are set through RRC signaling. The UE can also be set through RRC signaling whether to use the CMR of the CMR pair for single TRP measurement.

[0077] For CSI reports associated with NCJT measurements of multiple TRPs / panels configured through a single CSI report configuration, support for at least one of the following options 1 and 2 is being studied.

[0078] <Option 1>

[0079] The UE is configured to report X (X=0, 1, 2) CSIs associated with single TRP measurement assumptions and one CSI associated with NCJT measurement. In the case of X=2, the two CSIs are associated with two different single TRP measurements using CMRs of different CMR groups.

[0080] <Option 2>

[0081] The UE may also be configured to report a CSI associated with the best measurement result for NCJT and single TRP measurement assumptions.

[0082] As described above, in Rel. 15 / 16, CBSR is configured for each codebook configuration of each CSI report configuration. That is, CBSR is applied to all CMRs and the like in the corresponding CSI report configuration.

[0083] However, in the CSI report configuration for multiple TRPs based on Rel.17 of the CSI report configuration, when the above-mentioned options 1 and 2 are applied, it is possible to perform the following measurement configuration.

[0084] Option 1 (X=0): Measurement of CSI of NCJT only.

[0085] Option 1 (X=1): Measurement of CSI of NCJT and CSI of a single TRP (one TRP).

[0086] Option 1 (X=2): Measurement of CSI of NCJT and CSI of a single TRP (two TRPs).

[0087] Option 2: Measurement of both NCJT’s CSI and single TRP’s CSI.

[0088] (Type 1 codebook)

[0089] For base station panels, type 1 single-panel codebook and type 1 multi-panel codebook are specified. In type 1 single-panel, for the number of CSI-RS antenna ports P CSI-RS and (N1, N2) specify the antenna model of the CSI antenna port array (logical setting). In the type 1 multi-panel, for the number of CSI-RS antenna ports P CSI-RS and (N g ,N1,N2), specifies the antenna model of the CSI antenna port array (logical setting).

[0090] For Rel.15 type 1 single panel CSI, the UE is set to type 1 single panel ('typeI-SinglePanel') in the higher layer parameter of the codebook type (subType in type1 in codebookType in CodebookConfig). If the number of layers v∈{2,3,4} is not, the PMI value is the same as the three codebook indices i 1,1 ,i 1,2 ,i2 corresponds. If the number of layers is v∈{2,3,4}, then the PMI value corresponds to the 4 codebook indexes i 1,1 ,i 1,2 ,i 1,3 , i2 corresponds. If the number of layers is not v∈{2,3,4}, then the composite codebook index i1=[i 1,1 ,i 1,2 If the number of layers v∈{2,3,4}, then the composite codebook index i1=[i 1,1 ,i 1,2 ,i 1,3 ].

[0091] For the number of CSI antenna ports P CSI-RS The supported (N1, N2) and (O1, O2) settings (combinations of values) are specified in the specification. (N1, N2) represents the number of antenna elements in two dimensions and is set by n1-n2 in moreThanTwo in nrOfAntennaPorts in typeI-SinglePanel. (O1, O2) is the two-dimensional oversampling factor. i corresponding to the horizontal beam 1,1 is {0,1,...,N1O1-1}. i corresponding to the vertical beam 1,2 is {0,1,...,N2O2-1}. i2 is {0,1,2,3}. For codebook mode (codebookMode) = 1, use antenna ports 3000 to 2999+P CSI-RS The matrix used in the 1-layer CSI report codebook is W_i 1,1 ,i 1,2 ,i2^(1). Here, W l,m,n (1) It is provided by the following formula.

[0092]

[0093] Compared with the type 1 single panel, the Rel.15 type 1 multi-panel CSI is set with the number of panels N in addition to N1 and N2. gAs inter-panel phase matching (inter-panel co-phasing, inter-panel phase compensation, inter-panel phase compensation, inter-panel phase adjustment / phase difference), additional report i, 1,4 For each panel, the same SD beam is selected (precoding matrix W l ), and only inter-panel phase matching is reported additionally.

[0094] For the number of CSI antenna ports P CSI-RS , the specification specifies the supported (N g ,N1,N2) and (O1,O2) settings (combination of values). (N1,N2) is set by ng-n1-n2 in typeI-MultiPanel. 1,1 is {0,1,...,N1O1-1}. 1,2 is {0,1,...,N2O2-1}. For q=1,...,N g -1,i 1,4,q = {0,1,2,3}. i2 = {0,1,2,3}. For codebook mode (codebookMode) = 1, use antenna ports 3000 to 2999+P CSI-RS The matrix used in the 1-layer CSI report codebook is W_i 1,1 ,i 1,2 ,i 1,4 ,i2^(1). Here, W l,m,p,n (1) =W l,m,p,n ^1,N g ,1.

[0095] For N g =W_l,m,p,n^1,N of {2,4} g ,1 and W_l,m,p,n^2,N g ,1(for layer 1, N g =2, codeBookMode = 1 l,m,p,n 1,2,1 , for layer 2, N g =2, codeBookMode = 1 l,m,p,n 2,2,1 , for layer 1, N g =4, codeBookMode = 1 l,m,p,n 1,4,1 , and for Layer 2, N g =4, codeBookMode = 1l,m,p,n 2,4,1 ) is provided by the following formula.

[0096]

[0097] here, For N g =2, p=p1, for N g =4, p=[p1,p2,p3]. represents inter-panel co-phasing. For panels 0, 1, 2, and 3, the same beam is selected (SD beam matrix, precoding matrix W l ), represents the phase compensation of panel 1 relative to panel 0, represents the phase compensation of panel 2 relative to panel 0, Represents the phase compensation of panel 3 relative to panel 0.

[0098] (Type 2 codebook)

[0099] CSI acquisition for coherent joint transmission (CJT) for FR1 and up to 4 TRPs is being studied, assuming ideal backhaul, synchronization, and the same number of antenna ports across multiple TRPs. An improvement to the Rel.16 / 17 type 2 codebook is being studied for CJT multi-TRPs for FDD.

[0100] In the present disclosure, a matrix Z of X rows and Y columns is sometimes expressed as Z(X×Y).

[0101] Regarding the type 2 CSI of Rel.15, for the provided layer k, the generation of the precoding vector per subband (SB-wise) is based on the following equation.

[0102] W k (N t × N3)=W1W 2,k (Y1)

[0103] N t is the number of ports. N3 is the total number of precoding matrices (precoders) (the number of subbands) represented by PMI. t×2L) is a matrix (SD beam matrix) composed of L∈{2,4} (oversampled) spatial domain (SD) two-dimensional (2D) DFT vectors (SD beams, 2D-DFT vectors). L is the number of beams. For example, L=2 SD 2D-DFT vectors are b i 、b j .W 2,k (2L×N3) is the sub-band complex linear coupling (linear combination (LC)) coefficient (coupling coefficient (combination coefficients)) matrix for layer k. 2,k represents the beam selection and the phase matching (co-phasing) between the two polarizations. 2,k c i 、c j For example, the channel matrix h is obtained by linearly coupling L = 2 SD 2D-DFT vectors c I b i ,+c j b j Approximation. The feedback overhead is mainly composed of the LC coefficient matrix W 2,k In addition, the type 2 CSI of Rel.15 only supports ranks 1 and 2.

[0104] Rel.16 Type 2 CSI uses frequency domain (FD) compression to reduce the W 2,k The associated overhead. In addition to supporting ranks 1 and 2, the type 2 CSI of Rel.16 also supports ranks 3 and 4.

[0105] Regarding the type 2 CSI of Rel.16, for the provided layer k, the UE may also report information based on the following formula.

[0106] W k =W1W ～ k W f,k H (Y2)

[0107] W 2,k By W ～ k W f,k H Approximation. Matrix W ～ It can also be expressed by adding ~ (wavy line) to W. Matrix W f,k H W f,k The adjoint matrix of .

[0108] For CSI reporting, the UE can also be configured with one subband size within the two subband sizes. This subband (CQI subband) can also be defined as N PRB SB The number of PMI subbands per CQI subband, R, is set by RRC IE (numberOfPMI-SubbandsPerCQI-Subband). R controls the total number of precoding matrices N3 represented by PMI as a function of the number of subbands set in csi-ReportingBand, the subband size set by subbandSize, and the total number of PRBs in the BWP.

[0109] W1(N t ×2L) is a matrix composed of multiple (oversampled) spatial domain (SD) 2D-DFT (vectors, beams). For this matrix, multiple indices of the two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform (2D-DFT) vector and the two-dimensional oversampling factor are reported. The spatial domain response / distribution represented by the SD 2D-DFT vector can also be called an SD beam.

[0110] W ～ k (2L×M v ) is a matrix of coupling coefficients (combination coefficients, subband complex linear coupling (LC) coefficients). For this matrix, at most K0 non-zero coefficients (NZCs) are reported. The report consists of two parts: a bitmap that captures the NZC positions and a quantized NZC.

[0111] W f,k (N3×M v ) is a matrix composed of multiple frequency domain (FD) bases (vectors) for layer k. There are M for each layer. v FD basis (FD DFT basis). In the case of N3>19, select M from the intermediate subset (InS) of size N3' (<N3) v DFT. In the case of N3≤19, log2(C(N3-1,M v -1)) bits. Here, C(N3-1,M v -1) is to select M from N3-1 vThe number of combinations of -1 is also called binomial coefficients. The frequency domain response / distribution (frequency response) represented by the linear combination of FD basis vectors and coupling coefficients can also be called FD beam. FD beam can also correspond to delay profile (time response).

[0112] The subset of the FD basis is provided as {f1,...,f Mv Here, f i is the i-th FD basis for the k-th layer, i∈{1,...,M v}. The PMI subband size is provided by the CQI subband size / R, R∈{1,2}. The number of FD bases M for the provided rank v v By ceil(p v ×N3 / R) is increased. The number of FD bases is the same for all layers k∈{1,2,3,4}. v Through high-level settings.

[0113] Matrix W 2,k Each row of represents the channel frequency response of a specific SD beam. In the case where the SD beam has high directivity, the channel tap of each beam is limited (the power delay distribution becomes sparse in the time domain). As a result, the channel frequency response of each SD beam has a high correlation (close to flat in the frequency domain). In this case, the channel frequency response can be approximated by linear coupling of a small number of FD bases. For example, in M v = 2, use the FD basis f2, f q and the linear combination coefficient d1 0 , d2 0 , the frequency response associated with SD beam b0 is transmitted through d1 0 f2+,d2 0 f q To approximate.

[0114] Select M v FD basis to obtain the highest gain. By setting M v <<N3,W ～ k The cost is W 2,k The overhead is much smaller. vAll or part of the FD bases are used for the approximation of the frequency response of each SD beam. A bitmap is used to report only the selected FD base for each SD beam. If the bitmap is not reported, all FD bases are selected for each SD beam. In this case, the nonzero coefficients (NZC) of all FD bases are reported for each SD beam. The maximum number of NZCs in one layer is K. k NZ ≤K0=ceil(β×2LM v ), the maximum number of NZCs across all layers K NZ ≤2K0=ceil(β×2LM v ). β is set by high level.

[0115] W ～ k The reported complex coefficients in are the quantized amplitude and phase respectively.

[0116] [Amplitude Quantization]

[0117] The polarization specific reference amplitude is used Figure 1 Table (amplitude coefficient indicator i 2,3,l Mapping of multiple elements: From element k l,p (1) To the amplitude coefficient p l,p (1) All other coefficients are quantized using Figure 2 Table (amplitude coefficient indicator i 2,4,l Mapping of multiple elements: From element k l,i,f (2) To the amplitude coefficient p l,i,f (2) 8-level quantization of the mapping).

[0118] [Phase Quantization]

[0119] All coefficients are quantized using 16-PSK. For example, c l,i ∈{0,...,15}. Here, c l,i For the phase value to be associated Phase coefficient reported by the UE (using 4 bits).

[0120] Type 2 CSI feedback on PUSCH in Rel.16 consists of two parts. CSI Part 1 has a fixed payload size and is used to identify the number of information bits in CSI Part 2. The size of Part 2 is variable (the UCI size depends on the number of non-zero amplitude coefficients (NZCs), which is unknown to the base station). The UE reports the number of NZCs in CSI Part 1, which determines the size of CSI Part 2. After receiving CSI Part 1, the base station identifies the size of CSI Part 2.

[0121] In enhanced type 2 CSI feedback, CSI part 1 contains RI, CQI and an indication of the total number of non-zero amplitudes across multiple layers for enhanced type 2 CSI. The fields of part 1 are coded separately. CSI part 2 contains the PMI for enhanced type 2 CSI. Parts 1 and 2 are coded separately. CSI part 2 (PMI) contains the oversampling factor, the index of the 2D-DFT basis, the index of the initial DFT basis (start offset) of the selected DFT window, and the PMI of the selected DFT window. initial , a DFT basis selected for each layer, non-zero LC coefficients (NZC, amplitude and phase) of each layer, the strongest (strongest, maximum intensity) coefficient indicator (strongest coefficientint indicator (SCI)) of each layer, and at least one of the amplitude of the strongest coefficient for each layer / each polarization.

[0122] For the kth layer, multiple PMI indices (PMI values, codebook indices) associated with different CSI part 2 information may also follow as follows.

[0123] ·i 1,1 : Oversampling factor

[0124] ·i 1,2 : Multiple indices for a 2D-DFT basis

[0125] ·i 1,5 : Index of the initial DFT basis of the selected DFT window (starting offset) M initial

[0126] ·i 1,6,k : The DFT basis selected for the kth layer

[0127] ·i 1,7,k : Bitmap for layer k

[0128] ·i 1,8,k : The strongest coefficient indicator (SCI) for the kth layer

[0129] ·i 2,3,k: The amplitude of the strongest coefficient (for both polarizations) of the kth layer

[0130] ·i 2,4,k : The amplitude of the reported coefficients at the kth level

[0131] ·i 2,5,k : The phase of the reported coefficients of the kth layer

[0132] i 1,5 and 1,6,k PMI index for DFT-based reporting. Reported only when N3>19 1,5 .

[0133] As a grouping of CSI part 2, the PMI information is summarized into 3 groups (from group 0 to 2) for the provided CSI report. This is important in the case of CSI omission. Index i 2,4,l 、i 2,5,l 、i 1,7,l Each element reported is associated with a specific priority rule. Groups 0 to 2 follow the following.

[0134] Group 0: index i 1,1 、i 1,2 、i 1,8,l (l=1,...,v)

[0135] Group 1: Index i (when reported) 1,5 , index i (when reported) 1,6,l 、i 1,7,l The highest (highest) v2LM v -floor(K NZ / 2) priority elements, i 2,3,l 、i 2,4,l The highest ceil (K NZ / 2)-v priority elements, i 2,5,l The highest ceil (K NZ / 2)-v priority elements (l=1,...,v)

[0136] ·Group 2: i 1,7,l The lowest floor (K NZ / 2) priority elements, i 2,4,l The lowest floor (K NZ / 2) priority elements, i 2,5,l The lowest floor (K NZ / 2) priority elements (l=1,...,v)

[0137] In type 1 CSI, an SD beam represented by an SD DFT vector is transmitted toward the UE. In type 2 CSI, L SD beams are linearly coupled and transmitted toward the UE. Each SD beam can be associated with multiple FD beams. For the corresponding SD beam, the channel frequency response can be obtained by linearly combining these FD basis vectors. The channel frequency response corresponds to the power delay profile.

[0138] (Type 2 port selection codebook)

[0139] In Rel.16 type 2 port selection (PS) CSI, the type 2 PS codebook (CB) does not require the UE to consider the 2D-DFT in the usual type 2 CB to derive the SD beam. Instead, the base station considers a set of SD beams and uses the K beamformed CSI-RS ports to send CSI-RS. The UE identifies the best L (≤ K) CSI-RS ports and reports their indices in W1.

[0140] For layer k∈{1,2,3,4}, the subband (SB)-wise precoder generation is given by the following equation.

[0141] W k (N t ×N3)=QW1W ～ k W f,k H (Y3)

[0142] Here, Q(N t ×K) represents K SD beams used for CSI-RS beamforming. W1(K×2L) is a block diagonal matrix. ～ k (2L×M) is the LC coefficient matrix. W f,k (N3×M) is composed of N3 DFT basis vectors (FD basis vectors). K is set by a higher layer. L is set by a higher layer. P CSI-RS ∈{4,8,12,16,24,32}. CSI-RS >4, L∈{2,3,4}.

[0143] In the CSI / codebook of type 2 port selection in Rel.15 / 16, each CSI-RS port #i is associated with the SD beam (b i ) to associate ( Figure 3A as well as Figure 3BIn the CSI / codebook of type 2 port selection (enhanced type 2 port selection codebook) of Rel.17, for each CSI-RS port #i, the SD beam is replaced with the SD-FD beam pair (SD beam b i and FD beam f i,j (j is the frequency index)) to associate ( Figure 4A as well as Figure 4B ). In this example, ports 3 and 4 are associated with the same SD beam and with different FD beams.

[0144] The frequency selectivity of the channel frequency response observed in the UE based on the SD beam-FD beam can be reduced by pre-compensation of delay (delay pre-compensation) compared to the frequency selectivity of the channel frequency response observed in the UE based on the SD beam.

[0145] The main scenario for the type 2 port selection codebook of Rel.17 is FDD. The channel reciprocity based on SRS measurements is incomplete, but the base station is able to obtain some partial information. In addition to the CSI reports, the SRS measurements in the base station are also used so that the base station can obtain the CSI for the decision of the DL MIMO precoder. In this case, in order to reduce the CSI overhead, some CSI reports can also be omitted.

[0146] In the type 2 PS CSI of Rel. 17, each CSI-RS port is beamformed using an SD beam and an FD basis vector. Each port is associated with an SD-FD pair.

[0147] For the provided layer k, information based on the following formula may also be reported by the UE.

[0148] W k (K×N3)=W1W ～ k W f,k H (Y4)

[0149] For W1(K×2L), each matrix block consists of L columns of a K×K identity matrix. The base station sends K beamformed CSI-RS ports. Each port is associated with an SD-FD pair. The UE selects L ports out of K and uses them as the PMI (W 1,k ) is reported to the base station. In Rel.16, each port is associated with an SD beam.

[0150] W ～k (2L×M v ) is a matrix consisting of coupling coefficients (subband complex LC coefficients). At most K0 NZCs are reported. The report consists of two parts: a bitmap capturing the NZC positions and a quantized NZC. In certain cases, the bitmap can be omitted. In Rel.16, the bitmap of NZC positions is always reported.

[0151] W f,k (N3×M v ) is a matrix composed of N3 FD basis (FD DFT basis) vectors. There are M v The base station can also eliminate W f,k In W f,k When enabled (on), report M v An additional FD basis. f,k If disabled (off), additional FD bases will not be reported. In Rel.16, W is always reported. f,k .

[0152] (CJT)

[0153] Joint transmission (JT) can also mean simultaneous data transmission from multiple points (e.g., TRP) to a single UE.

[0154] Rel.17 supports NCJT from two TRPs. PDSCHs from two TRPs can also be precoded and decoded independently. Frequency resources can be non-overlapping, partially overlapping, or fully overlapping. In the event of overlap, the PDSCH from one TRP interferes with the PDSCH from other TRPs.

[0155] In Rel.18, support for CJT using up to 4 TRPs is being studied. Data from the 4 TRPs can also be coherently precoded and sent to the UE on the same time-frequency resources. For example, channels from 4 TRPs can also be considered, using the same precoding matrix. Coherence can also mean that there is a certain relationship between the phases of multiple received signals. It is also possible to use 4 TRPs for joint precoding to improve signal quality, and there can be no interference between the 4 TRPs. The data can also be subject to interference only outside the 4 TRPs.

[0156] In an ideal situation (where 4 TRPs are co-located (considered to be at the same location)), a joint estimation of the aggregated channel matrix H can be performed, and the joint precoding matrix V can be fed back. However, the large scale pathloss of the 4 paths is sometimes significantly different. The joint precoding matrix V based on the constant module codebook is not accurate. In this case, the feedback of each TRP and the coefficients between TRPs can be matched by the current NR type 2 codebook.

[0157] For CJT of up to 4 TRPs in FR1, the selection of the 4 TRPs can also be semi-static. Therefore, the selection and the setting of the 4 CMRs (4 CSI-RS resources) for channel measurement can also be semi-static. Dynamic indication of the 4 TRPs from the list of CSI-RS resources is also possible, but less likely.

[0158] The path losses from the 4 TRPs to the UE are different. Therefore, it is difficult to report only one aggregated CSI representing the joint channel matrix.

[0159] Considering the fallback operation to NCJT (ie, single TRP), also consider the CSI of each TRP (ie, single TRP CSI like NCJT CSI of Rel.17).

[0160] (Rel.17NCJT CSI)

[0161] For Rel.17NCJT CSI, accompanied by K s =K1+K2 CMRs are set for the UE. K1 and K2 are the number of CMRs in the two CMR groups. N CMR pairs are set by the higher layer by selecting from all possible pairs. Support N=1, K s =2. N max =2 is an optional function of UE. S,max = The support of X is an optional function of UE.

[0162] At least one of the following options 1 and 2 is supported.

[0163] [Option 1]

[0164] The UE may also be configured to report X CSIs associated with a single TRP measurement hypothesis and one CSI associated with an NCJT measurement hypothesis. X = 0, 1, 2. In the case of X = 2, the two CSIs are associated with two different single TRP measurement hypotheses with multiple CMRs from different multiple CMR groups. Support of X = 1, 2 is an optional feature of the UE for UEs supporting option 1.

[0165] [Option 2]

[0166] The UE may also be configured to report a CSI associated with the best of the NCJT and single TRP measurement conditions.

[0167] As CSI enhancements for CJT, the following are being studied.

[0168] CMR and IMR for measurement of up to 4 TRPs.

[0169] • CSI for each TRP along with inter-TRP CSI feedback for x-TRP CJT.

[0170] Inter-TRP CSI: New feedback and codebook for inter-TRP phase matrix / inter-TRP amplitude matrix / inter-TRP matrix (including both amplitude and phase).

[0171] · Additional reporting of x-TRP CJT CQI.

[0172] As a multi-TRP CJT CSI, the following are being studied.

[0173] ·Restrictions on the settings of CMR / CSI for each TRP.

[0174] ·CSI / PMI between TRPs (e.g., inter-TRP phase with / without inter-TRP amplitude).

[0175] [Option 1] In addition to the Rel.16 / 17 Type 2 codebook, there is also an independent codebook and feedback.

[0176] [Option 2] With W k ～ W f,k H / In W k ～ W f,k H W2 of CSI / PMI between transmitted TRPs. Common / different FD bases for multiple TRPs.

[0177] As a multi-panel type 2CSI for multi-TRP CJT, the following is being studied.

[0178] · Enhancement of Rel.16 / 17 type 2 codebook and type 2 PS codebook to multiple panels.

[0179] • New antenna settings for type 2 multi-panel codebook.

[0180] (Multi-TRP CJT CSI)

[0181] W1(SD basis) / W for each TRP f (FD groups) may be the same or different. k (NZC) can also be different. W1 / W for each TRP f / W k Can be selected together or individually. f / W k The design is preferably different scenarios with different options. It can be reported as a separate item or in W k The guidelines used depend on the deployment scenario (e.g., intra-site multiple TRPs or inter-site multiple TRPs).

[0182] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the precoding matrix for 4-TRP CJT CSI (codebook) can also be obtained by W1 / W for each TRP. f / W k W1 for each TRP can be the same or different, and can be selected together or individually. k They can also be different and can be selected together or individually. f They can be the same or different, and can be selected together or individually.

[0183] (Question #1)

[0184] Two options are studied when multiple CMRs for x-TRP are not set in CSI-ReportConfig.

[0185] [Option 1]

[0186] A maximum of X resources (CMR / CMR group / CSI-RS resource / CSI-RS resource set) can be set. Each resource corresponds to a TRP. This is especially true in the inter-site TRP scenario ( Fig. 6A ) is preferred.

[0187] [Option 2]

[0188] For CJT CSI measurement, more than one N-port CSI-RS resource can be set. More than one port corresponds to one TRP. This is useful in the multi-panel / TRP scenario within a site ( Figure 6B ) is preferred.

[0189] Multiple TRPs within a site and between sites may or may not be set through high-level signaling. The values ​​of the RRC parameters {Mode0, Mode1} used for the setting may correspond to multiple TRPs within a site and between sites, respectively, or vice versa. Multiple TRPs within a site and between sites may also be implicitly represented through the setting of option 1 or 2.

[0190] Whether it is possible to consider the mixing of multiple TRP scenarios within and between sites is a problem. For example, the CMR setting for mixed scenarios, the W1 / W f / W k The design options and constraints for each TRP or across TRPs in a hybrid scenario become issues.

[0191] (Question #2)

[0192] In implementation #A, when CMR for X=4 is set, the UE may also report the CSI for each of the 4 TRPs (X=4) with multiple CSIs between TRPs. In this case, the base station can calculate the multi-TRP CSI for any of 2-TRP CSI, 3-TRP CSI, and 4-TRP CSI. High flexibility can be achieved with high reporting overhead. In order to reduce reporting overhead, it is considered not to report all CSIs for each of the 4 TRPs (X=4).

[0193] (Question #3)

[0194] So far, the enhancement of adding CJT CSI to the existing Rel.16 / 17 type 2 codebook has been studied. Under study: In TDD operation, for CJT CSI setting, the report quantity setting (reportQuantity) set for 'cri-RI-CQI' (or 'cri-RI-i1', 'cri-RI-i1-CQI') is set. In this case, PMI reporting is not required, and the base station can obtain DL precoding from UL SRS. However, it is necessary to report RI / CQI for DL ​​CJT CSI. Since the interference between DL and UL is different, the base station cannot obtain DL CQI from UL SRS. The enhancement of reportQuantity set for 'cri-RI-CQI' (or 'cri-RI-i1', 'cri-RI-i1-CQI') becomes a problem.

[0195] (Question #4)

[0196] When 3 or 4 TRPs are coherently sent to the UE, enhancement of the TCI status indication becomes an issue.

[0197] Thus, research on CJT CSI using multiple TRPs / multi-panels is not sufficient. If such research is insufficient, there is a concern that communication throughput / communication quality may be reduced.

[0198] Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have conceived of operations related to CJT CSI utilizing multiple TRPs / multiple panels.

[0226] In various embodiments, multiple TRPs / multiple CMRs may be co-located (collocate), and multiple TRPs may be located within a site, and these may also overwrite each other.

[0227] In various embodiments, the report / content of CSI may be applied to both subband report and wideband report.

[0228] For the problem #1, at least one of the following implementations #1 to #3 may be applied.

[0229] <Implementation method #1>

[0230] In the CMR setting, it is also possible to support additional indication of multiple TRPs / multiple CMRs addressed (co-located, set at the same position) as an intra-site / CMR group (or inter-site TRP).

[0231] About Measurement and W1 / W f / W k , the UE performs different operations on multiple TRPs within a site or between sites. When the additional indication is used for multiple CMRs within a site, and there is no additional indication, the UE may also assume all multiple CMRs as multiple TRPs between sites by default. When the additional indication is used for multiple CMRs between sites, and there is no additional indication, the UE may also assume all multiple CMRs as multiple TRPs within a site by default.

[0232] For example, when X CMRs (X CSI-RS resources) are set in a CSI report setting (CSI-ReportConfig), each resource can correspond to a TRP (X-TRPs, for example, X=4) (between sites), and the additional indication can also indicate at least one of the following situations: the first two CMRs are addressed as multiple TRPs within the site; the last two CMRs are addressed as multiple TRPs within the site.

[0233] exist Fig. 7A In the example, CMR1 to 4 are associated with TRP1 to 4, respectively (CMR1 to 4 are transmitted through TRP1 to 4). When TRP1 and TRP2 are addressed, CMR1 and CMR2 may also be indicated as a CMR group.

[0234] exist Figure 7B In the example, CMR1 to 4 are associated with TRP1 to 4 respectively (CMR1 to 4 are sent through TRP1 to 4). (When the UE assumes multiple CMRs between sites by default) If TRP1 and TRP2 are addressed, and TRP3 and TRP4 are addressed, CMR1 and CMR2 can also be indicated as a CMR group, and CMR3 and CMR4 can be indicated as a CMR group.

[0235] According to this embodiment, the UE can be appropriately indicated the addressed multiple TRPs / multiple CMRs.

[0236] <Implementation method #2>

[0237] When an additional indication of CMR grouping for intra-site / inter-site multiple TRPs is given, the UE may apply different policies to multiple CMRs from intra-site TRP and multiple CMRs from inter-site multiple TRPs, as shown in the aforementioned multi-TRP CJT CSI.

[0238] For multiple CMRs as multiple TRPs between sites, the UE can also f / W2 / W k Apply policy #1. For example, in policy #1, W1 can be different for each TRP, and W f W2 is different for each TRP. You can also select W1 / W for each TRP separately. f / W2 / W k , you can also select W1 / W across multiple TRPs f / W2 / W k .W φ It can also be separate content for each TRP.

[0239] For multiple CMRs as site-to-multiple TRPs, the UE can also f / W2 / W k Apply policy #2. For example, in policy #1, W1 is the same for each TRP, and W f Same for each TRP. W1 / W can also be selected across multiple TRPs f / W2 / W k .W φ It can also be separate content for each TRP.

[0240] The network (NW) can also directly set several TRPs (e.g., CMR / CMR group / CSI-RS resource / CSI-RS resource set) to follow for W1 / W f / W2 / W k For example, NW can also set CMR1 and CMR2 to have the same W1 / W f It is also possible to set CMR3 and CMR4 and CMR1 / 2 to have different W1 / W f matters concerning reports.

[0241] exist Figure 8 In the columns of the precoding matrix, when TRP1 and TRP2 are addressed (CMR1 and CMR2 are within the site), in policy #1, for multiple TRPs between sites (CMR3 and CMR4 and CMR1 / 2), W1 / W f Can be different, in policy #2, for CMR1 and CMR2, W1 / W fCan also be the same.

[0242] In this embodiment, the UE can be appropriately instructed to group CMRs for multiple TRPs.

[0243] <Implementation Method #3>

[0244] In the case where an additional indication of CMR grouping for intra-site / inter-site multiple TRPs is set, the UE may apply different restriction settings to multiple parameters in implementation #A described later for multiple CMRs from intra-site multiple TRPs and multiple CMRs from inter-site multiple TRPs.

[0245] For example, some parameters may be common to multiple TRPs within a site, or may be separate for multiple TRPs between sites. In the following implementation #A, the unit of application restriction may be per TRP or across multiple TRPs. In the present implementation, the unit of application restriction may be per TRP group (CMR grouping) or across multiple TRPs.

[0246] According to this embodiment, the UE can be appropriately instructed to use CMR grouping for multiple TRPs.

[0247] For the aforementioned problem #2, the following implementation method #4 can also be applied.

[0248] <Implementation Method #4>

[0249] In the case where multiple CMRs are set for 4 TRPs (X=4) (or, further, when the NW is set so that the maximum number of selected / reported TRPs / CMRs / CMR groups / CSI-RS resources / CSI-RS resource sets is X1), the UE may also report the number of TRPs / CMRs selected for reporting as X2, similarly to the index of the selected TRP / CMR. X2≤X (or X2≥X1).

[0250] Whether X2=1 (or X2≥2) is allowed may be further set by signaling from the NW. X2=1 may also implicitly indicate whether the UE can report the fallback CSI for single TRR transmission.

[0251] Assuming that X2 ≥ 2, it is also possible to further configure, through signaling from the NW, whether an additional CSI for a single TRP can be reported together with the X2 CJT CSIs. When an additional single TRP CSI is configured, the index of the TRP / CMR for the single TRP may also be reported.

[0252] Option 1

[0253] The number of reported TRPs / CMRs may also be located in CSI part 1. This number may also have a fixed payload size. The index of the selected TRP / CMR for the X2 TRPs / CMRs may also be located in CSI part 2. The payload size of this index may also depend on X2. For CSI part 2, the index of the X2 TRPs / CMRs may also be located in the aforementioned group 0. For example, if 2 bits are assumed for the CMR index, 2*X2 bits are required for the selected CMR index.

[0254] The index of the reported TRP / CMR may also be the index of the configured CMR resource after being re-indexed. For example, as CMRs from 4 TRPs, when CSI-RS resources #8, #12, #24, and #36 are configured, the UE can report X2=2 with 2 CRI indices (CRI#0, CRI#3) for 2 TRP / CMRs. In the report from the UE, CRI#0 corresponds to CSI-RS resource #8, and CRI#3 corresponds to CSI-RS resource #36.

[0255] Option 2

[0256] The number of indices of TRP / CMRs selected for X2 TRP / CMRs may also be located within CSI part 1. This number may also have a fixed payload size.

[0257] In the case of a bitmap of size X being reported, the bitmap may also indicate the number of selected TRPs / CMRs, as well as the index of the TRP / CMR. No other reporting may be required.

[0258] The UE may also report multiple sets of bitmaps for representing multiple combinations of selected TRPs. For example, 1100 and 1101 representing 2-TRP CJT CST from TRP1 and TRP2, and 3-TRPCJT CST from TRP1, TRP, and TRP4 may be reported, respectively. 1000 representing a single TRP may also be reported. The number of reported sets may be set by RRC IE or may be reported additionally by the UE.

[0259] According to this embodiment, the UE is able to appropriately report the number of TRPs / CMRs selected for reporting.

[0260] For the aforementioned problem #3, the following implementation #5 may also be applied.

[0261] <Implementation method #5>

[0262] In the CJT CSI setting, the reportQuantity set for 'cri-RI-CQI' (or 'cri-RI-i1', 'cri-RI-i1-CQI') can be set, and the UE measures the CJT CQI with RI and reports the result as NW. When multiple CMRs for 4 (X=4) TRPs are set for one CSI-ReportConfig, the UE can follow at least one of the following options.

[0263] Option 1

[0264] The UE may also report the number X2 of selected TRPs (X2 ≥ 2, X2 ≤ X or X2 ≤ X1), the corresponding TRP index, and the CJT CQI assumed for X2-TRP CJT transmission. For example, the UE may also report X2 = 2, CRI #0 and CRI #3, and the CJT CQI assumed for CRI #0 and CRI #3 CJT transmission. The UE may also report a bitmap indicating the number of selected TRPs and the TRP index.

[0265] Option 2

[0266] The UE may also report the number of selected TRPs X2 (X2 ≥ 2), the number of selected sets of X2 TRPs X4, and multiple sets of TRP indices with corresponding CJT CQIs. The UE may also report a bitmap indicating the number of selected sets and TRP indices.

[0267] Option 3

[0268] In addition to the CJT CSI of option 1 / 2, the UE may also report the TRP index used for single TRP transmission and the corresponding single TRP CQI.

[0269] According to this embodiment, the UE can appropriately report RI / CQI for DL ​​CTJ CSI.

[0270] For the problem #4, the following implementation #6 can also be applied.

[0271] <Implementation Method #6>

[0272] The MAC CE for updating the PDSCH TCI state may also update up to X=4 (DL / unified) TCI states for each TCI code point (code point / value of the TCI field) in the DCI in order to support 4-TRP CJT PDSCH transmission. This may also mean that each TCI code point can support 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 indicated TCI states. Fig. 9In the example of , each TCI code point is associated with up to 4 (DL and UL) joint TCI states. Fig.10 In the example, each TCI code point is associated with up to 4 separate TCI states (DL / UL).

[0273] It is also possible to support explicit or implicit indication of the association between each PDSCH DMRS port and each TCI state from the X indicated TCI states. It is also possible to support scenarios such as high speed train (HST) and assume that each PDSCH DMRS port and the X TCI states are QCL.

[0274] The enhancement of the unified TCI state of Rel.17 / 18 for multiple TRPs can also be further enhanced or reused for the indication of up to X TCI states. For example, for CJT scenarios, the MAC CE capable of indicating up to 4 TCI states can also be reused.

[0275] According to this embodiment, the UE can be appropriately updated with the TCI status for multi-TRP CJT.

[0276] <Implementation Method #A>

[0277] If it is set to report the CSI of each TRP in one CSI report for CJT CSI, one or more of the following restrictions 1 to 3 may be considered for the CSI of each TRP.

[0278] Restriction 1

[0279] For the CSI measurement of each TRP, the same RI is assumed. It can also be set that only a common RI report is required. For example, it is also possible to include an RI report in the first CJT CSI and not include an RI report in the second / third / fourth CJT CSI. If the RI report is different for the CSI of each TRP, it is difficult for the base station to update these RIs for the CJT CSI.

[0280] Restriction 2

[0281] For each TRP, at least one of a common parameter and a differentiated parameter is set. Here, each TRP, each CMR, each CMR group, and each CMR set can also overwrite each other. The parameter can also be represented by at least one of the following parameter fields.

[0282] · Indicates the supported parameter (codebook parameter) combinations (L, p v, β, α, M) field (paramCombination) corresponding to the value / index of the combination of at least one value.

[0286] - A field (subbandAmplitude) that is true if subband amplitude reporting is activated.

[0287] ·The value of N (for example, when M=2, parameter N∈{2,4} is set) (valueOfN).

[0288] In Rel.15 / 16 / 17, these parameters are set for each codebook configuration (CodebookConfig) and for each CSI report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig). In the CJT CSI configuration, several of these parameters can also be set per TRP. In the CJT CSI configuration, the CSI of the second / third / fourth TRP can also have a coarser feedback granularity and smaller overhead than the CSI of the first TRP. In paramCombination, different (L, p v For CJT CSI settings, some parameters common to TRP (e.g., common L) and some parameters specific to TRP (e.g., p v , β).

[0289] Fig.11A represents W for the first TRP ～ , and W for the second TRP ～ As in this example, different SD beam numbers L (L1, L2) may be set for the CSI of the first TRP and the CSI of the second TRP.

[0290] Fig. 11B represents W for the first TRP ～ , and W for the second TRP ～Another example. As in this example, the same number of SD beams L and different maximum numbers of NZCs for each layer of each TRP may be set (β=1 / 2, 1 / 4).

[0291] Restriction 3

[0292] In CSI-ReportConfig, for all of the X TRPs (all CMRs / IMRs), at least one of the following settings 3a to 3d is introduced.

[0293] [Setting 3a] Maximum number of non-zero coefficients (NZC) for each layer for all X TRPs in CSI-ReportConfig.

[0294] [Setting 3b] Maximum number of NZCs for all layers of all X TRPs in CSI-ReportConfig.

[0297] UE capability signaling for at least one of restrictions 1 to 3 may also be introduced.

[0298] According to this embodiment, the UE can appropriately report the CSI of each of the X TRPs within one CSI report based on the restrictions / relationships.

[0353] (Wireless Communication System)

[0354] Hereinafter, a configuration of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. In the wireless communication system, communication is performed using any one of the wireless communication methods according to the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure or a combination thereof.

[0355] Fig.12 1 is a diagram showing an example of a schematic structure of a wireless communication system involved in one embodiment. The wireless communication system 1 may also be a system that implements communication using Long Term Evolution (LTE) standardized by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the fifth generation mobile communication system New Radio (5G NR), and the like.

[0356] In addition, the wireless communication system 1 can also support dual connectivity (Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity (MR-DC)) between multiple radio access technologies (Radio Access Technology (RAT)). MR-DC can also include dual connectivity between LTE (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA))) and NR (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity (EN-DC))), dual connectivity between NR and LTE (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity (NE-DC))), etc.

[0357] In EN-DC, the base station (eNB) of LTE (E-UTRA) is the master node (Master Node (MN)), and the base station (gNB) of NR is the secondary node (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.

[0358] The wireless communication system 1 can also support dual connectivity between multiple base stations within the same RAT (for example, dual connectivity (NR-NR Dual Connectivity (NN-DC)) where both MN and SN are NR base stations (gNB)).

[0359] The wireless communication system 1 may also include a base station 11 that forms a macro cell C1 with a relatively wide coverage, and a base station 12 (12a-12c) that is configured in 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 in at least one cell. The configuration and number of each cell and user terminal 20 are not limited to the method shown in the figure. Hereinafter, when the base stations 11 and 12 are not distinguished, they are collectively referred to as base stations 10.

[0360] The user terminal 20 may be connected to at least one of the plurality of base stations 10. The user terminal 20 may use at least one of carrier aggregation (CA) using a plurality of component carriers (CC) and dual connectivity (DC).

[0361] Each CC may also be included in at least one of the first frequency band (Frequency Range 1 (FR1)) and the second frequency band (Frequency Range 2 (FR2)). The macro cell C1 may also be included in FR1, and the small cell C2 may also be included in FR2. For example, FR1 may be a frequency band below 6 GHz (below 6 GHz (sub-6 GHz)), and FR2 may be a frequency band higher than 24 GHz (above-24 GHz). In addition, the frequency bands and definitions of FR1 and FR2 are not limited to these. For example, FR1 may also be equivalent to a frequency band higher than FR2.

[0362] Furthermore, the user terminal 20 may perform communication in each CC using at least one of time division duplex (TDD) and frequency division duplex (FDD).

[0363] Multiple base stations 10 may also be connected via wired (e.g., optical fiber based on Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI)), X2 interface, etc.) or wireless (e.g., NR communication). For example, when NR communication between base stations 11 and 12 is used as a backhaul, the base station 11 equivalent to the upper station may also be referred to as an Integrated Access Backhaul (IAB) donor, and the base station 12 equivalent to a relay station (relay) may also be referred to as an IAB node.

[0364] The base station 10 may also be connected to the core network 30 via other base stations 10 or directly. The core network 30 may also include, for example, at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), a 5G Core Network (5GCN), a Next Generation Core (NGC), and the like.

[0365] The user terminal 20 may also be a terminal that supports at least one of communication modes such as LTE, LTE-A, and 5G.

[0366] In the wireless communication system 1, a wireless access method based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) may be used. For example, in at least one of the downlink (DL) and the uplink (UL), cyclic prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM), discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA), etc. may be used.

[0367] The radio access scheme may also be referred to as a waveform. In addition, in the wireless communication system 1, other radio access schemes (for example, other single-carrier transmission schemes, other multi-carrier transmission schemes) may be used as the radio access schemes for UL and DL.

[0368] As downlink channels, the wireless communication system 1 may use a downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)) shared by each user terminal 20, a broadcast channel (Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH))), a downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH)), etc.

[0369] In addition, as uplink channels, an uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)) shared by each user terminal 20), an uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH))), a random access channel (Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH)) and the like can also be used in the wireless communication system 1.

[0370] User data, high-layer control information, system information block (SIB), etc. are transmitted through PDSCH. User data, high-layer control information, etc. can also be transmitted through PUSCH. In addition, master information block (MIB) can also be transmitted through PBCH.

[0371] The lower layer control information may also be transmitted via the PDCCH. The lower layer control information may include, for example, downlink control information (Downlink Control Information (DCI)) including scheduling information of at least one of the PDSCH and the PUSCH.

[0372] In addition, the DCI for scheduling the PDSCH may also be referred to as DL allocation, DL DCI, etc., and the DCI for scheduling the PUSCH may also be referred to as UL grant, UL DCI, etc. In addition, the PDSCH may also be rewritten as DL data, and the PUSCH may also be rewritten as UL data.

[0373] In the detection of PDCCH, the control resource set (CORESET) and the search space can also be used. CORESET corresponds to the resources for searching DCI. The search space corresponds to the search area and search method of PDCCH candidates. A CORESET can also be associated with one or more search spaces. The UE can also monitor the CORESET associated with a search space based on the search space setting.

[0374] A search space may also correspond to a PDCCH candidate corresponding to one or more aggregation levels. One or more search spaces may also be referred to as a search space set. In addition, the "search space", "search space set", "search space setting", "search space set setting", "CORESET", "CORESET setting" and the like in the present disclosure may also be rewritten mutually.

[0375] Uplink control information (uplink control information (UCI)) including at least one of channel state information (CSI), delivery confirmation information (e.g., also known as hybrid automatic repeat request confirmation (HARQ-ACK), ACK / NACK, etc.), and scheduling request (SR) can also be transmitted through PUCCH. The random access preamble used to establish a connection with a cell can also be transmitted through PRACH.

[0376] In the present disclosure, downlink, uplink, etc. may be expressed without the word “link.” In addition, various channels may be expressed without the word “physical” at the beginning.

[0377] In the wireless communication system 1, a synchronization signal (Synchronization Signal (SS)), a downlink reference signal (Downlink Reference Signal (DL-RS)), etc. can also be transmitted. As DL-RS, in the wireless communication system 1, a cell-specific reference signal (Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS)), a channel state information reference signal (Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS)), a demodulation reference signal (DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS)), a positioning reference signal (Positioning Reference Signal (PRS)), a phase tracking reference signal (Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS)), etc. can also be transmitted.

[0378] The synchronization signal may be, for example, at least one of a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS). A signal block including SS (PSS, SSS) and PBCH (and DMRS for PBCH) may also be referred to as SS / PBCH block, SS block (SSB), etc. In addition, SS, SSB, etc. may also be referred to as reference signals.

[0379] In addition, in the wireless communication system 1, as an uplink reference signal (Uplink Reference Signal (UL-RS)), a measurement reference signal (Sounding Reference Signal (SRS)), a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), etc. can also be transmitted. In addition, DMRS can also be called a user terminal specific reference signal (UE-specific Reference Signal).

These functional blocks (structural units) are implemented by any combination of at least one of hardware and software. In addition, the implementation method of each functional block is not particularly limited. That is, each functional block can be implemented by a device that is physically or logically combined, or two or more devices that are physically or logically separated can be directly or indirectly (for example, by wired, wireless, etc.) connected and implemented by these multiple devices.

The hardware structure of the base station 10 and the user terminal 20 may be configured to include one or more of the devices shown in the figure, or may be configured to exclude some of the devices.

[0431] For example, only one processor 1001 is shown, but there may be multiple processors. In addition, the processing may be performed by one processor, or may be performed by two or more processors simultaneously, sequentially, or in other ways. In addition, the processor 1001 may also be implemented by one or more chips.

[0432] The functions of the base station 10 and the user terminal 20 are realized, for example, by reading specific software (program) into hardware such as the processor 1001 and the memory 1002, so that the processor 1001 performs calculations and controls communication via the communication device 1004, or controls at least one of the reading and writing of data in the memory 1002 and the storage 1003.

[0441] (Variation Example)

[0442] In addition, the terms described in the present disclosure and the terms required for understanding the present disclosure may also be replaced with terms having the same or similar meanings. For example, channels, code elements, and signals (signals or signaling) may also be rewritten with each other. In addition, a signal may also be a message. A reference signal may also be referred to as RS, and may also be referred to as a pilot, a pilot signal, etc. depending on the standard applied. In addition, a component carrier (CC) may also be referred to as a cell, a frequency carrier, a carrier frequency, etc.

[0443] A wireless frame may also be composed of one or more periods (frames) in the time domain. Each period (frame) of the one or more periods (frames) constituting a wireless 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) that is not dependent on a parameter set (numerology).

[0444] Here, the parameter set may also be a communication parameter applied in at least one of the transmission and reception of a certain signal or channel. For example, the parameter set may also represent at least one of a subcarrier spacing (SCS), bandwidth, symbol length, cyclic prefix length, transmission time interval (TTI), the number of symbols per TTI, a wireless frame structure, a specific filter processing performed by a transmitter and receiver in the frequency domain, a specific windowing processing performed by a transmitter and receiver in the time domain, and the like.

[0445] A time slot may also be composed of one or more symbols (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 may also be a time unit based on a parameter set.

[0446] A time slot may also include multiple mini-slots. Each mini-slot may also be composed of one or more symbols in the time domain. In addition, a mini-slot may also be referred to as a sub-slot. A mini-slot may also be composed of fewer symbols than a time slot. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted in a time unit larger than a mini-slot may also be referred to as a PDSCH (PUSCH) mapping type A. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using a mini-slot may also be referred to as a PDSCH (PUSCH) mapping type B.

[0447] Radio frames, subframes, time slots, mini-time slots, and symbols all represent time units for transmitting signals. Radio frames, subframes, time slots, mini-time slots, and symbols may also be referred to by their respective names. In addition, time units such as frames, subframes, time slots, mini-time slots, and symbols in the present disclosure may also be replaced with each other.

[0448] For example, a subframe may be referred to as a TTI, a plurality of consecutive subframes may be referred to as a TTI, and a time slot or a mini time slot may be referred to as a TTI. That is, at least one of a subframe and a TTI may be a subframe (1 ms) in existing LTE, a period shorter than 1 ms (e.g., 1-13 symbols), or a period longer than 1 ms. In addition, the unit representing a TTI may be referred to as a time slot, a mini time slot, etc. instead of a subframe.

[0449] Here, TTI refers to, for example, the minimum time unit for scheduling in wireless communication. For example, in the LTE system, the base station schedules each user terminal to allocate wireless resources (frequency bandwidth, transmission power, etc. that can be used in each user terminal) in TTI units. In addition, the definition of TTI is not limited to this.

[0450] TTI may also be a transmission time unit for a data packet (transport block), a code block, a code word, etc. that has been channel-coded, and may also be a processing unit for scheduling, link adaptation, etc. In addition, when TTI is given, the time interval (e.g., the number of symbols) to which a transport block, a code block, a code word, etc. is actually mapped may be shorter than the TTI.

[0451] In addition, when a time slot or a mini time slot is called TTI, one or more TTIs (i.e., one or more time slots or one or more mini time slots) can also be the minimum time unit of scheduling. In addition, the number of time slots (mini time slots) constituting the minimum time unit of scheduling can also be controlled.

[0452] A TTI having a time length of 1 ms may 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 a normal TTI may also be referred to as a shortened TTI, a short TTI, a partial TTI (partial or fractional TTI), a shortened subframe, a short subframe, a mini time slot, a sub time slot, a time slot, etc.

[0453] In addition, a long TTI (e.g., normal TTI, subframe, etc.) can also be rewritten as a TTI with a time length exceeding 1 ms, and a short TTI (e.g., shortened TTI, etc.) can also be rewritten as a TTI with a TTI length shorter than that of the long TTI and longer than 1 ms.

[0454] A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in the time domain and the frequency domain, and may include one or more consecutive subcarriers (subcarriers) in the frequency domain. The number of subcarriers included in an RB may also be the same regardless of the parameter set, for example, 12. The number of subcarriers included in an RB may also be determined based on the parameter set.

[0455] In addition, an RB may also include one or more symbols in the time domain, and may also be the length of a slot, a mini-slot, a subframe, or a TTI. A TTI, a subframe, etc. may also be composed of one or more resource blocks, respectively.

[0456] In addition, one or more RBs may also be referred to as a physical resource block (Physical RB (PRB)), a sub-carrier group (Sub-Carrier Group (SCG)), a resource element group (Resource Element Group (REG)), a PRB pair, an RB pair, etc.

[0457] In addition, a resource block may be composed of one or more resource elements (RE). For example, one RE may be a radio resource region of one subcarrier and one symbol.

[0458] A Bandwidth Part (BWP) (also referred to as a partial bandwidth, etc.) may also represent a subset of contiguous common RBs (common resource blocks) for a parameter set in a carrier. Here, a common RB may also be identified by an index of the RB relative to a common reference point of the carrier. PRBs may also be defined in a BWP and numbered within the BWP.

[0459] The BWP may include a UL BWP (BWP for UL) and a DL BWP (BWP for DL). For a UE, one or more BWPs may be configured in one carrier.

[0460] At least one of the set BWPs may be activated, and the UE may not assume that a specific signal / channel is transmitted or received outside the activated BWP. In addition, "cell", "carrier", etc. in the present disclosure may also be rewritten as "BWP".

[0461] In addition, the above-mentioned structures such as radio frames, subframes, time slots, mini-time slots and symbols are only 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 number of symbols and RBs included in a time slot or mini-time slot, the number of subcarriers included in an RB, the number of symbols in a TTI, the symbol length, and the cyclic prefix (CP) length can be changed in various ways.

For example, data, instructions, commands, information, signals, bits, symbols, chips, etc. that may be mentioned throughout the above description may also be represented by voltage, current, electromagnetic waves, magnetic fields or magnetic particles, light fields or photons, or any combination thereof.

[0465] Furthermore, 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.

[0466] The input and output information, signals, etc. may be stored in a specific location (e.g., a memory), or may be managed using a management table. The input and output information, signals, etc. may be overwritten, updated, or appended. The output information, signals, etc. may also be deleted. The input information, signals, etc. may also be sent to other devices.

[0467] The notification of information is not limited to the methods / implementations described in the present disclosure, and may also be performed by other methods. For example, the notification of information in the present disclosure may also be implemented through physical layer signaling (e.g., downlink control information (Downlink Control Information (DCI))), uplink control information (Uplink Control Information (UCI))), high-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.

[0468] In addition, physical layer signaling may also be referred to as layer 1 / layer 2 (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 establishment (RRC Connection Setup) message, an RRC connection reconstruction (RRC Connection Reconfiguration) message, etc. In addition, MAC signaling may also be notified using, for example, a MAC control element (MACControl Element (CE)).

[0469] Furthermore, notification of specific information (eg, notification of “it is X”) is not limited to explicit notification, but may be performed implicitly (eg, by not notifying the specific information or by notifying other information).

[0470] The determination can be made by a value represented by a bit (0 or 1), by a true or false value (Boolean value) represented by true or false, or by comparison of numerical values ​​(for example, comparison with a specific value).

[0471] Whether software is called software, firmware, middle-ware, microcode, hardware description language, or other names, it should be broadly interpreted as meaning instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, program, sub-program, software modules, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, sub-routines, objects, executable files, execution threads, procedures, functions, etc.

[0472] In addition, software, instructions, information, etc. may 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 technology (coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), etc.) and wireless technology (infrared, microwave, etc.), at least one of these wired technology and wireless technology is included in the definition of transmission medium.

The steering unit 42 is composed of at least a steering wheel (also called a handlebar), and steers at least one of the front wheels 46 and the rear wheels 47 based on the operation of the steering wheel operated by the user.

[0485] The electronic control unit 49 is composed of a microprocessor 61, a memory (ROM, RAM) 62, and a communication port (for example, an input / output (IO) port) 63. Signals from various sensors 50-58 provided in the vehicle are input to the electronic control unit 49. The electronic control unit 49 may also be referred to as an ECU (Electronic Control Unit).

[0486] Signals from various sensors 50-58 include a current signal from a current sensor 50 for sensing the current of a motor, a speed signal of the front wheels 46 / rear wheels 47 obtained by a speed sensor 51, an air pressure signal of the front wheels 46 / rear wheels 47 obtained by other sensors 52, a vehicle speed signal obtained by a vehicle speed sensor 53, an acceleration signal obtained by an acceleration sensor 54, a depression amount signal of an accelerator pedal 43 obtained by an accelerator pedal sensor 55, a depression amount signal of a brake pedal 44 obtained by a brake pedal sensor 56, an operation signal of a shift lever 45 obtained by a shift lever sensor 57, a detection signal for detecting obstacles, vehicles, pedestrians, etc. obtained by an object detection sensor 58, and the like.

[0487] The information service unit 59 is composed of various devices such as a vehicle navigation system, an audio system, a speaker, a display, a television, and a radio for providing (outputting) various information such as driving information, traffic information, and entertainment information, and one or more ECUs for controlling these devices. The information service unit 59 provides various information / services (for example, multimedia information / multimedia services) to the occupants of the vehicle 40 using information obtained from an external device via the communication module 60, etc.

[0488] The information service unit 59 may include input devices for accepting input from the outside (e.g., keyboard, mouse, microphone, switch, button, sensor, touch panel, etc.), and may also include output devices for implementing output to the outside (e.g., display, speaker, LED light, touch panel, etc.).

[0489] The driving assistance system unit 64 is composed of various devices such as millimeter wave radar, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), camera, positioning locator (e.g., Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)), map information (e.g., high-precision (High Definition (HD))) map, autonomous vehicle (Autonomous Vehicle (AV)) map, etc.), gyroscope system (e.g., inertial measurement unit (Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU))), inertial navigation unit (Inertial Navigation System (INS))), artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence (AI)) chip, AI processor, etc., for providing functions for preventing accidents before they happen or reducing the driver's driving load, and one or more ECUs for controlling these devices. In addition, the driving assistance system unit 64 sends and receives various information via the communication module 60 and realizes driving assistance function or autonomous driving function.

[0490] The communication module 60 can communicate with the microprocessor 61 and the components of the vehicle 40 via the communication port 63. For example, the communication module 60 transmits and receives data (information) between the drive unit 41, the steering unit 42, the accelerator pedal 43, the brake pedal 44, the shift lever 45, the left and right front wheels 46, the left and right rear wheels 47, the axle 48, the microprocessor 61 and the memory (ROM, RAM) 62 in the electronic control unit 49, and the various sensors 50-58 of the vehicle 40 via the communication port 63.

[0491] The communication module 60 can be controlled by the microprocessor 61 of the electronic control unit 49, and is a communication device that can communicate with an external device. For example, various information is sent and received with the external device via wireless communication. The communication module 60 can be located either inside or outside the electronic control unit 49. The external device can also be, for example, the above-mentioned base station 10, user terminal 20, etc. In addition, the communication module 60 can also be, for example, at least one of the above-mentioned base station 10 and user terminal 20 (it can also function as at least one of the base station 10 and user terminal 20).

[0492] The communication module 60 may also transmit at least one of the signals from the various sensors 50-58 input to the electronic control unit 49, information obtained based on the signals, and information based on input from the outside (user) obtained via the information service unit 59 to an external device via wireless communication. The electronic control unit 49, the various sensors 50-58, the information service unit 59, etc. may also be referred to as an input unit that receives input. For example, the PUSCH transmitted through the communication module 60 may also include information based on the above input.

[0493] The communication module 60 receives various information (traffic information, signal information, vehicle-to-vehicle information, etc.) transmitted from an external device, and displays it to the information service unit 59 provided in the vehicle. The information service unit 59 may also be referred to as an output unit for outputting information (for example, outputting information to a display, a speaker, etc. based on the PDSCH received by the communication module 60 (or data / information decoded from the PDSCH)).

[0494] In addition, the communication module 60 stores various information received from the external device in the memory 62 that can be used by the microprocessor 61. The microprocessor 61 can also control the drive unit 41, the steering unit 42, the accelerator pedal 43, the brake pedal 44, the shift lever 45, the left and right front wheels 46, the left and right rear wheels 47, the axle 48, and various sensors 50-58 of the vehicle 40 based on the information stored in the memory 62.

[0495] In addition, the base station in the present disclosure may also be rewritten as a user terminal. For example, the various methods / implementations of the present disclosure may also be applied to a structure in which the communication between a base station and a user terminal is replaced by the communication between multiple user terminals (for example, it may also be referred to as device-to-device (D2D)), vehicle-to-everything (V2X), etc.). In this case, it may also be set as a structure in which the user terminal 20 has the functions possessed by the above-mentioned base station 10. In addition, terms such as "uplink", "downlink", etc. may also be rewritten as terms corresponding to communication between terminals (for example, "sidelink"). For example, uplink channels, downlink channels, etc. may also be rewritten as sidelink channels.

[0496] Likewise, the user terminal in the present disclosure may be rewritten as a base station. In this case, the base station 10 may have the functions of the user terminal 20 described above.

[0497] In the present disclosure, the actions are assumed to be performed by the base station, and sometimes by its upper node (uppernode) depending on the situation. Obviously, in a network including one or more network nodes having a base station, various operations performed for communication with a 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)), the Serving-Gateway (S-GW), etc., but not limited to these) or a combination thereof.

[0498] The various methods / implementations described in this disclosure may be used alone or in combination, and may be used in a switched manner as the method is executed. In addition, the processing procedures, timings, flow charts, etc. of the various methods / implementations described in this disclosure may be reversed in order as long as they are not contradictory. For example, for the method described in this disclosure, the elements of various steps are presented in an illustrative order, but are not limited to the specific order presented.

[0499] The various modes / implementations described in the present disclosure may 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, for example, an integer or a decimal)), 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, and next-generation systems based on these enhancements, corrections, production or regulations, etc. In addition, multiple systems can also be combined (for example, LTE or LTE-A, combination with 5G, etc.) for application.

[0500] The phrase “based on” used in the present disclosure does not mean “based only on” unless otherwise specified. In other words, the phrase “based on” means both “based only on” and “based at least on”.

[0501] Any reference to an element using the terms "first", "second", etc. used in this disclosure does not fully define the amount or order of these elements. These terms can be used in this disclosure as a convenient method to distinguish between two or more elements. Therefore, reference to the first and second elements does not mean that only two elements can be used or that the first element must take precedence over the second element in some form.

[0502] The term "determining" used in the present disclosure may include a variety of actions. For example, "determining" may also refer to situations where judging, calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up (e.g., searching in a table, database or other data structure), ascertaining, etc. are considered to be "determining".

[0503] In addition, "judgment (decision)" may also be a situation where receiving (for example, receiving information), sending (for example, sending information), input (input), output (output), accessing (for example, accessing data in a memory), etc. are regarded as making a "judgment (decision)".

[0504] In addition, "judgment (decision)" can also be regarded as a situation where resolving, selecting, choosing, establishing, comparing, etc. are regarded as a situation where "judgment (decision)" is performed. That is, "judgment (decision)" can also be regarded as a situation where some actions are regarded as a situation where "judgment (decision)" is performed.

[0505] In addition, "judge (decide)" can also be rewritten as "assuming (assuming)", "expecting (expecting)", "considering (considering)" and so on.

[0506] The “maximum transmit power” recorded in the present disclosure may refer to the maximum value of the transmit power, the nominal maximum transmit power (the nominal UE maximum transmit power), or the rated maximum transmit power (the rated maximum transmit power).

[0507] The terms "connected", "coupled", or all their variations used in this disclosure refer to all direct or indirect connections or combinations between two or more elements, and may include the situation where one or more intermediate elements exist between two elements that are "connected" or "coupled" to each other. The combination or connection between elements may be physical, logical, or a combination thereof. For example, "connection" may also be rewritten as "access".

[0508] In the present disclosure, when two elements are connected, it is possible to consider being "connected" or "combined" to each other using one or more wires, cables, printed electrical connections, etc., as well as being "connected" or "combined" to each other using electromagnetic energy with wavelengths in the wireless frequency domain, microwave region, light (both visible and invisible) region, etc. as several non-limiting and non-inclusive examples.

[0509] In the present disclosure, the term "A is different from B" may also mean "A and B are different from each other". In addition, the term may also mean "A and B are different from C, respectively". The terms "separate" and "combined" may also be interpreted in the same manner as "different".

[0510] When the terms “include,” “including,” and variations thereof are used in the present disclosure, these terms have an inclusive meaning, similar to the term “comprising.” Furthermore, the term “or” used in the present disclosure does not have an exclusive OR meaning.

[0511] In the present disclosure, when an article is added by translation like a, an, and the in English, for example, the present disclosure may also include a case where the noun following the article is in plural form.

[0512] In the present disclosure, "below", "less than", "above", "more than", "equal to", etc. can also be rephrased with each other. In addition, in the present disclosure, sentences meaning "good", "bad", "big", "small", "high", "low", "early", "late", "wide", "narrow", etc. can also be rephrased with each other, without being limited to the original degree, comparative degree, and superlative degree. In addition, in the present disclosure, sentences meaning "good", "bad", "big", "small", "high", "low", "early", "late", "wide", "narrow", etc. can also be rephrased with each other as expressions with "ith" attached, without being limited to the original degree, comparative degree, and superlative degree (for example, "highest" can also be rephrased with "i-th highest").

[0513] In the present disclosure, “of,” “for,” “regarding,” “related to,” “associated with,” etc. may also be replaced by each other.

[0514] The invention involved in the present disclosure is described in detail above, but it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the invention involved in the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described in the present disclosure. The invention involved in the present disclosure can be implemented as a modified and altered mode without departing from the gist and scope of the invention determined based on the description of the claims. Therefore, the description of the present disclosure is for the purpose of illustrative description and does not have any limiting meaning on the invention involved in the present disclosure.
