For example, PUSCH-ConfigCommon may be given by system information.
[0239] The terminal device 1 may decode the PDSCH. For example, the terminal device 1 may decode the corresponding PDSCH in response to the detection of the PDCCH. In transmission method 1 of the PDSCH, the terminal device 1 may assume that the transmission by the base station device 3 is performed in the PDSCH. The transmission by the base station device 3 in the PDSCH may be performed with a maximum of 8 transmission layers from antenna port 1000 to 1011. The transmission by the base station device 3 in the PDSCH may be performed from antenna port 1000 to 1023. The transmission by the base station device 3 in the PDSCH may be performed with a maximum of 8 transmission layers from antenna port 1000 to 1023.
[0240] The PDSCH may be scheduled by the PDCCH. The DMRS reception procedure for the first PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH with DCI format 1_1 may be applied to the second PDSCH. The second PDSCH may be a PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH with DCI format 1_2. The second PDSCH may be a PDSCH scheduled by the PDCCH with DCI format 4_2.
[0241] As assumption 1, the terminal device 1 may assume that there is no PDSCH in the OFDM symbol that transmits the DMRS. As assumption 2, the terminal device 1 may assume that there is no PDSCH in the OFDM symbol that transmits the DMRS. It may be assumed that there is no PDSCH other than the first PDSCH. The first PDSCH may be a PDSCH with an allocation period of 2 OFDM symbols. As assumption 3, the terminal device 1 may assume that single symbol front-loaded DMRS of set type 1 is transmitted at DMRS port 1000. As assumption 4, the terminal device 1 may assume that the remaining antenna ports other than DMRS port 1000 are not related to PDSCH transmission to other terminal devices. As assumption 5, the terminal device 1 may assume that the upper layer parameter dmrs-AdditionalPosition is 'pos2' and that there are at most two additional single-symbol DMRSs in one slot. The terminal device 1 may assume assumption 5 for PDSCHs of mapping type A and mapping type B. As assumption 6, the terminal device 1 may assume that the PDSCH exists in the symbol that transmits the DMRS. The terminal device 1 may assume assumption 6 for a PDSCH that is of mapping type B and has an allocation period of 2 OFDM symbols.
[0242] The PDSCH may be scheduled by a DCI format. When the PDSCH is scheduled by the first DCI format, or when the PDSCH is received before any dedicated higher layer configuration of one or more upper layer parameters, the terminal device 1 may assume some or all of assumption 1, assumption 2, assumption 3, assumption 4, assumption 5, and assumption 6. The first DCI format may be DCI format 1_0, DCI format 4_0, or DCI format 4_1. The one or more upper layer parameters may be some or all of the upper layer parameter dmrs-AdditionalPosition, the upper layer parameter maxLength, and the upper layer parameter dmrs-Type.
[0243] When the PDSCH is scheduled by the second DCI format, the terminal device 1 may have the upper layer parameter dmrs-Type set, and the set DMRS setting type (setting type) may be used for the received PDSCH. When the PDSCH is scheduled by the second DCI format, the maximum number of front DMRS symbols for the PDSCH may be set by the upper layer parameter maxLength given by the upper layer parameter DMRS-DownlinkConfig. The upper layer parameter maxLength may be set to 'len1' or 'len2'. The DMRS may be scheduled by DCI (DCI format). When the upper layer parameter maxLength is set to 'len1', the single-symbol DMRS (front DMRS of a single symbol) may be scheduled for the terminal device 1 by DCI (DCI format). When the upper layer parameter maxLength is set to 'len1', the terminal device 1 may set the additional DMRS (Additional DMRS) for the PDSCH according to the upper layer parameter dmrs-AdditionalPosition with 'pos0', 'pos1', 'pos2', or 'pos3' set. When the upper layer parameter maxLength is set to 'len2', the single-symbol DMRS and the double-symbol DMRS (front DMRS of double symbols) may be scheduled for the terminal device 1 by DCI. When the upper layer parameter maxLength is set to 'len2', the additional DMRS (Additional DMRS) for the PDSCH may be set according to the upper layer parameter dmrs-AdditionalPosition with 'pos0' or 'pos1' set. The terminal device 1 may assume to receive the additional DMRS. The second DCI format may be DCI format 1_1 with a PDCCH with a CRC scrambled by C-RNTI, MCS-C-RNTI, or CS-RNTI.The second DCI format may be DCI format 4_2 by means of a PDCCH accompanied by a CRC scrambled by a G-RNTI or a G-CS-RNTI.
[0244] The reference signal may be a generic term for DMRS, PTRS, and CSI-RS. For the reference signal specific to the terminal device, one or two scrambling identities may be set by the upper layer for the terminal device 1. The scrambling identity may be the same for both PDSCH mapping type A and PDSCH mapping type B. The terminal device 1 may be scheduled on several DMRS ports. The terminal device 1 may be scheduled on several DMRS ports according to the antenna port index (antenna port number) in DCI format 1_1.
[0245] In the case of DMRS configuration type 1, in the first case, the second case, or the third case, the terminal device 1 may assume that one or more antenna ports are not associated with PDSCH transmission to other terminal devices. In the first case, the terminal device 1 may be scheduled with one codeword and assigned to an antenna port mapped to any index in {2, 9, 10, 11, 30} (the value of the antenna port field). In the second case, the terminal device 1 may be scheduled with one codeword and assigned to an antenna port mapped to any index in {2, 9, 10, 11, 12} (the value of the antenna port field). In the third case, the terminal device 1 may be scheduled with two codes. One or more antenna ports may be the remaining orthogonal antenna ports. In the first case, the terminal device 1 may be scheduled with one codeword and assigned to an antenna port mapped to the index in {2, 9, 10, 11, 30} (the value of the antenna port field) when DMRS extension is not applied. In the first case, the terminal device 1 may be scheduled with one codeword and assigned to an antenna port mapped to the index in {2, 9, 10, 11, 18, 19, 20} (the value of the antenna port field) when DMRS extension is applied and the upper layer parameter maxLength is 1. In the first case, it may be determined based on whether DMRS extension is applied. In the first case, it may be determined based on whether DMRS extension is applied and the upper layer parameter maxLength.
[0246] The application of DMRS extension may be that the upper layer parameter ExtendedDMRSports is set. It may be. The application of DMRS extension may be that the upper layer parameter ExtendedDMRSports is It may also be effectively set. When the terminal device 1 reports a certain capability , DMRS extension may be applied. When the terminal device 1 does not report the relevant capability , DMRS extension may not be applied. When the terminal device 1 does not report the relevant capability, the terminal device 1 may not expect that DMRS extension will be applied. For example, the relevant capability may be reported for one or both of the uplink and the downlink. For example, the upper layer parameter ExtendedDMRSports may be set for one or both of the uplink and the downlink. For example, the upper layer parameter ExtendedDMRSports may be set in the upper layer parameter DMRS-DownlinkConfig, and may also be set in the upper layer parameter DMRS-UplinkConfig.
[0247] Whether DMRS demodulation assistance is applied may be indicated by the DCI format. For example, whether DMRS demodulation assistance is applied may be indicated by one or both of DCI format 1_1 and DCI format 1_2. For example, whether DMRS demodulation assistance is applied may be indicated by one or both of DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2.
[0248] In the case of DMRS configuration type 2, in the fourth case, the fifth case, or the third case, the terminal device 1 may assume that one or more antenna ports are not related to PDSCH transmission to other terminal devices. In the fourth case, it may be that the terminal device 1 is scheduled with one codeword and is allocated to an antenna port mapped to any of the indexes {2, 10, 23} (DMRS port, DMRS port index). In the fifth case, it may be that the terminal device 1 is scheduled with one codeword and is allocated to an antenna port mapped to any of the indexes {2, 10, 23, 58} (DMRS port, DMRS port index).
[0249] When the terminal device 1 that receives the PDSCH scheduled by the first DCI format is set with the first upper layer parameter, the terminal device 1 has the first setting and the second The configuration may be assumed not to occur simultaneously for the received PDSCH. The first DCI format may be DCI format 1_2. The first DCI format may be DCI format 1_0 or DCI format 1_1. The first upper layer parameter may be the upper layer parameter phaseTrackingRS in the upper layer parameter dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeA-DCI-1-2. The first upper layer parameter may be the upper layer parameter phaseTrackingRS in the upper layer parameter dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeB-DCI-1-2. The first upper layer parameter may be the upper layer parameter phaseTrackingRS in the upper layer parameter dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeA. The first upper layer parameter may be the upper layer parameter phaseTrackingRS in the upper layer parameter dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeB. The first configuration may be that one or more DMRS ports are scheduled for terminal device 1 and other terminal devices share DMRS resource elements in the same CDM group. The one or more DMRS ports may be one or more DMRS ports among 1004 to 1007. The one or more DMRS ports may be one or more DMRS ports among 1006 to 1011. In DMRS configuration type 1, the one or more DMRS ports may be one or more DMRS ports among DMRS port 1004 to DMRS port 1007. In DMRS configuration type 2, the one or more DMRS ports may be one or more DMRS ports among DMRS port 1006 to DMRS port 1011. In DMRS configuration type 1, the one or more DMRS ports may be one or more DMRS ports among DMRS port 1004 to DMRS port 1007 and DMRS port 1012 to DMRS port 1015.In DMRS configuration type 2, one or more DMRS ports may be one or more DMRS ports among DMRS ports 1006 to 1011 and DMRS ports 1018 to 1023. When DMRS configuration type 1 is set and DMRS extension is applied, one or more DMRS ports may be one or more DMRS ports among DMRS ports 1004 to 1007 and DMRS ports 1012 to 1015. When DMRS configuration type 2 is set and DMRS extension is applied, one or more DMRS ports may be one or more DMRS ports among DMRS ports 1006 to 1011 and DMRS ports 1018 to 1023. The second configuration may be that PTRS is transmitted to terminal device 1. The application of DMRS extension may be that the upper layer parameter ExtendedDMRSports is set. The application of DMRS extension may be that the upper layer parameter ExtendedDMRSports is effectively set.
[0250] Terminal device 1 does not necessarily need to expect that the front DMRS of double symbols (front DMRS symbol of double symbols) and two or more additional DMRSs (additional DMRS symbols) are set simultaneously. The setting of the front DMRS of double symbols may be set by the upper layer parameter maxLength with 'len2' set, where the maximum number of front DMRS symbols for PDSCH is set. The additional DMRS may be given by the upper layer parameter dmrs-AdditionalPosition.
[0251] The terminal device 1 may not be expected to assume a DMRS setting different from that of co-scheduled UE(s). The DMRS setting may be related to the actual number of front DMRS symbols, the actual number of additional DMRSs, the DMRS symbol position, and the DMRS setting type.
[0252] When a PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_1 is received, the terminal device 1 may assume that the indicated CDM group includes potential co-scheduled downlink terminal devices (co-scheduled UE(s), co-scheduled downlink terminal devices) and that the indicated CDM group is not used for data transmission. The "1", "2", and "3" for the number of DMRS-CDM groups (CDM groups) may respectively correspond to CDM group 0, CDM group {0, 1}, and CDM group {0, 1, 2}.
[0253] The terminal device 1 may assume that the number of DMRS-CDM groups (CDM groups) without data is 1. For example, when a PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0, 4_0, or 4_1 is received, the terminal device 1 may assume that the number of the first CDM group without data is 1. The first CDM group may correspond to CDM group 0 for a PDSCH with an allocation period of 2 OFDM symbols. The terminal device 1 may assume that the number of DMRS-CDM groups without data is 2. For example, when a PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0, 4_0, or 4_1 is received, the terminal device 1 may assume that the number of the second CDM group without data is 2. The second CDM group may correspond to CDM group {0, 1} for a PDSCH other than a PDSCH with an allocation period of 2 OFDM symbols.
[0254] The terminal device 1 does not have to expect to receive the first PDSCH. The first PDSCH may be scheduled by DCI indicating a CDM group with DMRS ports overlapping with the configured CSI-RS resources.
[0255] The terminal device 1 may receive DMRS for the PDSCH. When the terminal device 1 receives DMRS for the PDSCH and the SS / PBCH block in one or more OFDM symbols, the terminal device 1 may assume that the DMRS and the SS / PBCH block are QCL (or Type D QCL). The terminal device 1 does not have to expect to receive DMRS in one or more second resource elements overlapping with one or more first resource elements of the SS / PBCH block. The terminal device 1 may expect that different or the same subcarrier spacings are set for the SS / PBCH block and the DMRS in one component carrier. For example, when the first subcarrier spacing of the SS / PBCH block is 240 kHz, the terminal device 1 may expect that the second subcarrier spacing for the DMRS is different from the first subcarrier spacing.
[0256] When at least one TCI code point indicates two TCI states, and when the terminal device 1 receives DMRS for the PDSCH and the SS / PBCH block in the same OFDM symbol, the terminal device 1 may assume that at least one DMRS port for the PDSCH and the SS / PBCH block are QCL (or Type D QCL).
[0257] When the terminal device 1 is set by the upper layer parameter PDCCH-Config, and when the terminal device 1 receives DMRS for the PDSCH and the SS / PBCH block in the same OFDM symbol, It may be assumed that Set 1 is QCL for at least one DMRS port for PDSCH and the SS / PBCH block (also is QCL of Type D). The upper layer parameter PDCCH-Config may include two different values of the upper layer parameter coresetPoolIndex in the upper layer parameter ControlResourceSet.
[0258] When the terminal device 1 is configured with the upper layer parameter PDCCH-Config including two different values of the upper layer parameter coresetPoolIndex, the terminal device 1 may be scheduled by a plurality of PDSCHs that overlap in the time domain and the frequency domain by a plurality of PDCCHs. In this case the terminal device 1 may not be expected to assume different DMRS settings. Also, in this case, the terminal device 1 may not be expected to assume the DMRS ports in one CDM group indicated by two TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication) states. The DMRS setting may be a DMRS setting regarding the actual number of front DMRS symbols, the actual number of additional DMRS symbols, the actual DMRS symbol positions, and part or all of the DMRS setting type.
[0259] When the terminal device 1 is instructed by DCI including a time domain resource allocation field that indicates an entry including the upper layer parameter repetitionNumber in the upper layer parameter PDSCH-TimeDomainResourceAllocation, the terminal device 1 may not be set by the upper layer parameter sfnSchemePdsch. In this case, two TCI states at the code point of the TCI field may be indicated, and DMRS ports within two CDM groups in the antenna port field may be indicated. In this case, the first TCI state may correspond to the first CDM group of the first antenna port, and the second TCI state may correspond to the second CDM group. The first antenna port may be indicated by an Antenna port indication table. The DCI (DCI format) may be configured to include a TCI field (Transmission Configuration Indication field). The DCI (DCI format) may be configured to include an antenna port field (Antenna port field).
[0260] The procedure in PTRS reception may be applied to the terminal device 1 that receives the PDSCH scheduled by the first DCI format. The first DCI format may be DCI format 1_2 when the upper layer parameter phaseTrackingRS is set in the upper layer parameter dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeA-DCI-1-2, or the upper layer parameter dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeB-DCI-1-2. The first DCI format may be DCI format 1_0, or DCI format 1_1 when the upper layer parameter phaseTrackingRS is set in the upper layer parameter dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeA, or the upper layer parameter dmrs-DownlinkForPDSCH-MappingTypeB.
[0261] The terminal device 1 may also report the MCS and the bandwidth threshold. For example, based on the UE capability at a specific carrier frequency, the MCS and the bandwidth threshold may be reported. For example, at each sub - carrier frequency applied to the data channel at a specific carrier frequency, assuming the MCS table with the maximum modulation order, the MCS and the bandwidth threshold may be reported. The MCS may be used at least to indicate the modulation method and part or all of the target coding rate.
[0262] When the upper - layer parameter phaseTrackingRS in the upper - layer parameter DMRS - DownlinkConfig is set for the terminal device 1, part or all of operation 1, operation 2, operation 3, and operation 4 may be performed, indicated, assumed, or determined.
[0263] As operation 1, the upper - layer parameter timeDensity and the upper - layer parameter frequencyDensity may each indicate three MCS threshold values and two RB threshold values.
[0264] As operation 2, when one or both of the upper - layer parameter timeDensity and the upper - layer parameter frequencyDensity are set, the terminal device 1 may assume the existence of the PTRS antenna port (PTRS port), and assume that the pattern is a function of the first MCS and the first bandwidth. As operation 2, for the additional upper - layer parameter timeDensity and the upper - layer parameter freq When one or both of uencyDensity are set, and the RNTI is MCS-C-RNTI, C-RNTI, or CS-RNTI, the terminal device 1 may assume that the presence and pattern of the PTRS antenna port (PTRS port) are a function of the first MCS and the first bandwidth. The first MCS may be the MCS of the corresponding codeword. The first bandwidth may be the bandwidth in the corresponding BWP (bandwidth part). When the upper layer parameter timeDensity is not set, the terminal device 1 may assume that L PTRS is 1. L PTRS may be the number of OFDM symbols between two OFDM symbols to which the PTRS is mapped. For example, L PTRS PTRS may exist in one of the OFDM symbols of the OFDM symbols of. When the upper layer parameter frequencyDensity is not set, the terminal device may assume that K PTRS is 2. K PTRS is the number of PRBs between two PRBs to which the PTRS is mapped may be. For example, K PTRS PTRS may exist in one of the PRBs of the PRBs of as well.
[0265] As operation 3, when neither the upper layer parameter timeDensity nor the upper layer parameter frequencyDensity is set, the terminal device 1 may assume that L PTRS is 1 and K PTRS is 2. As operation 3, when neither the additional upper layer parameter timeDensity nor the upper layer parameter frequencyDensity is set, and the RNTI is MCS-C-RNTI, C-RNTI, or CS-RNTI, and condition 1 is not satisfied, the terminal device 1 may assume that L PTRS is 1 and K PTRSAs 2, it may be assumed that PTRS exists. As operation 3, when neither the additional upper layer parameter timeDensity nor the upper layer parameter frequencyDensity is set, and when the RNTI is MCS-C-RNTI, C-RNTI, or CS-RNTI, and when condition 1 is satisfied, the terminal device 1 may assume that PTRS does not exist. Condition 1 may be that the value of MCS is less than 10. Condition 1 may be that the value of MCS is less than 5. Condition 1 may be that the value of MCS is less than 15. Condition 1 may be that the value of MCS is less than 3. Condition 1 may be that the number of PRB (RB) is less than 3.
[0266] As operation 4, when the RNTI is RA-RNTI, SI-RNTI, MSGB-RNTI, or P-RNTI, the terminal device 1 may assume that PTRS does not exist.
[0267] The first MCS threshold, the second MCS threshold, and the third MCS threshold may be determined by upper layer parameters. When the value of MCS is less than the first MCS threshold, PTRS may not exist. When the value of MCS is greater than or equal to the first MCS threshold and less than the second MCS threshold, L PTRS may be 4 When the value of MCS is greater than or equal to the second MCS threshold and less than the third MCS threshold, L PTRS may be 2. When the value of MCS is at least greater than or equal to the third MCS threshold, L PTRS may be 1 When the first MCS table is used, the upper layer parameters may provide the first MCS threshold, the second MCS threshold, and the third MCS threshold in the range from 0 to 29. When the second MCS table is used, the upper layer parameters may provide the first MCS threshold, the second MCS A threshold value and a third MCS threshold value may be provided. When the third MCS table is used, the upper layer parameter may provide the first MCS threshold value, the second MCS threshold value, and the third MCS threshold value in the range from 0 to 27. The value of MCS may not exceed a fourth MCS threshold value. The fourth MCS threshold value may be 29 when the first MCS table is used, 28 when the second MCS table is used, and 27 when the third MCS table is used .
[0268] The first RB threshold value and the second RB threshold value may be determined by an upper layer parameter. When the number of RBs is less than the first RB threshold value, PTRS may not exist. When the number of RBs is greater than or equal to the first RB threshold value and less than the second RB threshold value, K PTRS may be 2. When the number of RBs is at least greater than or equal to the second RB threshold value, K PTRS may be 4. The upper layer parameter may provide the first RB threshold value and the second RB threshold value in the range from 1 to 276.
[0269] When the upper layer parameter phaseTrackingRS is not set, the terminal device 1 may assume that there is no PTRS . The PTRS time density (L PTRS ) and / or the PTRS frequency density (K PTRS ) may indicate that there is no PTRS.
[0270] L PTRS is 2 or 4, and when a PDSCH with an allocation period of 2 OFDM symbols is received, it may be assumed that no PTRS is transmitted. When L PTRS is 4, and when a PDSCH with an allocation period of 4 OFDM symbols is received, it may be assumed that no PTRS is transmitted .
[0271] The value of MCS for determining the time density of PTRS may be obtained from DCI. For example, when the terminal device 1 is scheduled with an MCS index (value of MCS) greater than the first value, and when a PDSCH for retransmission is received, the value of MCS for determining the time density (L ) of PTRS may be obtained from the DCI received for the same transport in the initial transmission. The first value may be 28 when the first MCS table is used, 27 when the second MCS table is used, and 26 when the third MCS table is used, PTRS etc.
[0272] One or more DMRS ports may be associated with one PTRS port. One or more DMRS ports associated with one PTRS port may be assumed to be QCL (or QCL of type A and type D). When the terminal device 1 is scheduled with one codeword , the PTRS antenna port (PTRS port, antenna port for PTRS, antenna port related to PTRS) may be associated with one of the one or more DMRS antenna ports (DMRS port, antenna port for DMRS) assigned for the PDSCH. One DMRS antenna port may be the lowest-indexed DMRS antenna port. The DMRS port may be a downlink DMRS port. The PTRS port may be a PTRS antenna port. The PTRS port may be an antenna port for PTRS. The DMRS port may be a DMRS antenna port. The DMRS port may be an antenna port for DMRS.
[0273] When the terminal device 1 is scheduled with two codewords, the PTRS antenna port may be associated with one DMRS antenna port. One DMRS antenna port may be the highest MCS Of the one or more DMRS antenna ports assigned for the codeword with It may be the lowest-indexed DMRS antenna port. For two codewords If they have the same MCS (MCS index), one DMRS antenna port may be the lowest-indexed DMRS antenna port among the one or more DMRS antenna ports assigned for codeword 0.
[0274] DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1, and DCI format 1_2 may be DCI formats for PDSCH scheduling. DCI format 1_0 may be used for PDSCH scheduling in one downlink cell.
[0275] The Antenna port(s) field may be included in DCI format 1_1 and DCI format 1_2. The number of information bits constituting the Antenna port(s) field may be 4, 5, or 6 bits. Also, the number of information bits constituting the Antenna port(s) field may be 4, 5, 6, or 7 bits. Also, the number of information bits constituting the Antenna port(s) field may be 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 bits. The number of CDM groups without data may be any of value 1, value 2, and value 3. The number of CDM groups without data of value 1 may refer to CDM group 0. The number of CDM groups without data of value 2 may refer to CDM groups {0, 1}. The number of CDM groups without data of value 3 may refer to CDM groups {0, 1, 2}.
[0276] That the upper layer parameter dmrs-Type is 1 means that DMRS configuration type 1 is configured It may also be so. The fact that the upper layer parameter dmrs-Type is 2 may mean that the DMRS setting type 2 is set. It may also be so. The fact that the upper layer parameter maxLength is 1 may mean that the maximum number of leading DMRS symbols is 1 symbol. The fact that the upper layer parameter maxLength is 2 may mean that the maximum number of leading DMRS symbols is 2 symbols. For example, the fact that the upper layer parameter maxLength is 1 may mean that the single-symbol leading DMRS (leading DMRS symbol) is set. For example, the fact that the upper layer parameter maxLength is 2 may mean that the single-symbol leading DMRS (leading DMRS symbol), or the double-symbol leading DMRS is set.
[0277] When DMRS setting type 1 and the single-symbol leading DMRS symbol are set, The number of information bits constituting the antenna port field may be 4. When DMRS configuration type 1 and the front DMRS symbol of a single symbol are configured, and when the upper layer parameter ExtendedDMRSports is not configured, the number of information bits constituting the antenna port field may be 4. When DMRS configuration type 1 and the front DMRS symbol of a single symbol are configured, and when it is configured that the upper layer parameter ExtendedDMRSports is invalid, the number of information bits constituting the antenna port field may be 4. When the value of the antenna port field composed of 4 information bits is 0, the DMRS port may be 0, and the number of CDM groups without data may be 1. When the value of the antenna port field composed of 4 information bits is 1, the DMRS port may be 1, and the number of CDM groups without data may be 1.

The sequence r(m) of DMRS may be mapped to a set of resource elements (k, l) p,μ and may be scaled by a factor β to match the transmission power. One or more resource elements (k, l) DMRS PDSCH may be determined based on the subcarrier index (subcarrier) k, the OFDM symbol index (OFDM symbol) l, the antenna port p, and the subcarrier spacing setting (subcarrier p,μ spacing) μ.

[0298] k' may be {0, 1}. k' may be determined based on DMRS reception assistance. For example when the information bits in the DCI format for DMRS reception assistance do not indicate a specific value , k' may be {0, 1}.

Some of the information bits in a specific field of the DCI format may determine whether DMRS reception assistance is applied. The specific field may be the antenna port field. k’ may be referred to as the Frequency domain-Orthogonal Cover code index (FD-OCC index). The fact that k’ is {0, 1} may mean that the FD-OCC length is 2. The fact that k’ is {0, 1, 2, 3} may mean that the FD-OCC length is 4.
[0299] When k’ is {0, 1} in DMRS configuration type 1, k’ may be {0, 1} in DMRS configuration type 2. When k’ is {0, 1, 2, 3} in DMRS configuration type 1, k’ may be {0, 1, 2, 3} in DMRS configuration type 2.

For example, when ld is 14 OFDM symbols , and the PDSCH mapping type A is set, and 'pos0' is set in dmrs-AdditionalPosition , the DMRS position l bar may be l0. For example, when ld is 14 OFDM symbols, and the PDSCH mapping type A is set, and 'pos1' is set in dmrs-AdditionalPosition, the DMRS position l bar may be {l0, l1}. For example, when ld is 14 OFDM symbols, and the PDSCH mapping type A is set, and 'pos2' is set in dmrs-AdditionalPosition, the DMRS position l bar may be {l0, 7, 11}. For example, when ld is 14 OFDM symbols, and the PDSCH mapping type A is set, and 'pos3' is set in dmrs-AdditionalPosition, the DMRS position l barmay be {l0, 5, 8, 11}. For example, when ld is 13 OFDM symbols, and PDSCH mapping type B is set, and 'pos0' is set in dmrs-AdditionalPosition, DMRS position l bar may be l0. For example, when ld is 13 OFDM symbols, and PDSCH mapping type B is set, and 'pos1' is set in dmrs-AdditionalPosition, DMRS position l bar may be {l0, 9}. For example, when ld is 13 OFDM symbols, and PDSCH mapping type B is set, and 'pos2' is set in dmrs-AdditionalPosition, DMRS position l bar may be {l0, 5, 9}.

For example, when the period ld is 14 OFDM symbols, and PDSCH map ping type A is set, and 'pos0' is set in dmrs-AdditionalPosition, l bar may be l0. For example, when the period ld is 14 OFDM symbols, and When PDSCH mapping type A is configured and 'pos1' is configured in dmrs-AdditionalPosition l bar may be {l0,10}. When the period ld is 13 OFDM symbols, and PDSCH mapping type B is configured, and 'pos0' is configured in dmrs-AdditionalPosition l bar may be l0. When the period ld is 13 OFDM symbols and PDSCH mapping type B is configured, and 'pos1' is configured in dmrs-AdditionalPosition, l bar may be {l0,8}.
[0304] Support may be provided when the upper layer parameter dmrs-TypeA-Position is equal to 'pos2' and the upper layer parameter dmrs-AdditionalPosition is equal to 'pos3'. When the upper layer parameter dmrs-TypeA-Position is equal to 'pos2', l d may be 3 or 4 OFDM symbols.

For example, in the case of single-symbol front DMRS When combined and in the case of DMRS configuration type 1, and when the supported antenna ports are from 1000 to 1003, l’ may be 0. For example, in the case of single-symbol front DMRS, and in the case of DMRS configuration type 2, and when the supported antenna ports are from 1000 to 1005, l’ may be 0. For example, in the case of double-symbol front DMRS, and in the case of DMRS configuration type 1, and when the supported antenna ports are from 1000 to 1007, l’ may be {0,1}. For example, in the case of double-symbol front DMRS, and in the case of DMRS configuration type 2, and when the supported antenna ports are from 1000 to 1011, l’ may be {0,1}. For example, in the case of double-symbol front DMRS, and in the case of DMRS configuration type 1, and when the supported antenna ports are from 1000 to 1015, l’ may be {0,1}. For example, in the case of double-symbol front DMRS, and in the case of DMRS configuration type 2, and when the supported antenna ports are from 1000 to 1023, l’ may be {0,1}.

[0317] The PTRS (Phase tracking reference signal) for PDSCH may be determined based on the sequence of PTRS (PTRS sequence) and the mapping to physical resources. The sequence (PTRS sequence) corresponding to the PTRS for PDSCH may be generated. The mapping of the sequence to physical resources may mean that the sequence is mapped to one or more resource elements. The sequence r(n) of PTRS may be the same as the sequence of DMRS. For example, the sequence r k = r(2m + k’) of PTRS may be the DMRS (DMRS sequence) at symbol position l0 and sub - carrier index k. .
[0318] The PTRS may exist in the resource block used for the PDSCH. The terminal device 1 may assume that the PTRS (PDSCH - PTRS) is scaled by β so as to match the transmission power. PTRS The terminal device 1 may assume that the PTRS is mapped to one or more resource elements (k, l). p,μ to be The PTRS sequence r k may be mapped to one or more resource elements a based on Equation 2. (p,μ) k,l a (p,μ) k,l may be referred to as a physical resource. The physical resource may be one or more resource elements.
Equation
[0319] The OFDM symbol index l in Equation 2 may be an index within the OFDM symbol allocated for PDSCH transmission. One or more first resource elements for the PTRS may not be used for one or more second resource elements for the DMRS.
[0320] The sub - carrier index k for the PTRS may be determined based at least on k RE ref and may also be determined based on at least one of the DMRS port (antenna port) and the DMRS configuration type. For example, k k RE ref may be determined based on one or both of the DMRS port (antenna port), the DMRS configuration type, and whether DMRS extension is applied. For example, k RE ref may be determined based on some or all of the DMRS port (antenna port), the DMRS configuration type, and whether DMRS extension is applied. For example, k RE refmay be determined based on some or all of the following: the DMRS port (antenna port), the DMRS configuration type, whether DMRS extensions are applied, and whether DMRS reception assistance is indicated.
[0321] The DMRS transmission procedure for a PUSCH scheduled on a first PDCCH with a first DCI format may be applied to a PUSCH scheduled on a second PDCCH with a second DCI format. The first DCI format may be DCI format 0_1. The second DCI format may be DCI format 0_2.
[0322] The transmitted PUSCH is in DCI format with CRC scrambled by the first RNTI. It is not scheduled by port 0_1 / 0_2 and does not correspond to the grant to be set. In addition, if the PUSCH is not for a Type 2 random access procedure, the terminal device 1 may use a single-symbol forward DMRS of DMRS setting type 1 in DMRS port 0. The remaining resource elements not used for the first PUSCH transmission are not used for the first PUSCH transmission. If transform precoding is not applied, the first PUSCH transmission may be The additional DMRS may be a PUSCH with an allocation duration of one OFDM symbol. The first RNTI may be transmitted according to the ring type and the PUSCH period. The first RNTI may be a C-RNTI, a CS-RNTI, a SP-CSI-RNTI, or an MCS-C-RNTI.
[0323] If frequency hopping is not applied, the higher layer parameter dmrs-AdditionalPosition is It may be assumed that it is equal to 'pos2' and that up to two additional DMRSs are transmitted according to the PUSCH period. When frequency hopping is applied, it may be expected that the upper layer parameter dmrs-AdditionalPosition is equal to 'pos1' and that up to one additional DMRS is transmitted according to the PUSCH period.
[0324] When PUSCH is scheduled with DCI format 0_0 with a CRC scrambled with CS-RNTI, the terminal device 1 may use single-symbol front DMRS at DMRS port 0. The single-symbol front DMRS may correspond to the DMRS setting type provided by the upper layer parameter dmrs-Type. When PUSCH is scheduled with DCI format 0_0 with a CRC scrambled with CS-RNTI, the terminal device 1 may use single-symbol front DMRS at DMRS port 0. The single-symbol front DMRS may correspond to the DMRS setting type provided by the upper layer parameter dmrs-Type. It may correspond to the DMRS setting type provided by the upper layer parameter dmrs-Type.
[0325] The maximum number of front DMRSs for PUSCH may be set by a first upper layer parameter. The first upper layer parameter may be the upper layer parameter maxLength, or may be the upper layer parameter msgA-MaxLength. When the first upper layer parameter is not set, the single-symbol front DMRS may be scheduled by DCI, or may be set by the grant setting (the grant being set). The number of additional DMRSs for PUSCH may be set by a second upper layer parameter. The maximum number of front DMRSs for PUSCH may be set by a first upper layer parameter. The first upper layer parameter may be the upper layer parameter maxLength, or may be the upper layer parameter msgA-MaxLength. When the first upper layer parameter is not set, the single-symbol front DMRS may be scheduled by DCI, or may be set by the grant setting (the grant being set). The number of additional DMRSs for PUSCH may be set by a second upper layer parameter. When the first upper layer parameter is not set, the single-symbol front DMRS (single-symbol DMRS) may be scheduled by DCI, or may be set by the grant setting (the grant being set). The number of additional DMRSs for PUSCH may be set by a second upper layer parameter. When the first upper layer parameter is not set, the single-symbol front DMRS (single-symbol DMRS) may be scheduled by DCI, or may be set by the grant setting (the grant being set). The number of additional DMRSs for PUSCH may be set by a second upper layer parameter. Yes. The second upper layer parameter may be 'pos0', 'pos1', 'pos2', 'pos3'. For example, when the first upper layer parameter is not set, the second upper layer parameter may be 'pos0', 'pos1', 'pos2', 'pos3'. The second upper layer parameter may also be dmrs-AdditionalPosition. When the first upper layer parameter is set, the front DMRS of a single symbol (single symbol DMRS) or the front DMRS of a double symbol (double symbol DMRS) may be scheduled by DCI, or may be set by the grant being set. When the first upper layer parameter is set, the second upper layer parameter may be 'pos0', 'pos1'.
[0326] When the terminal device 1 that transmits the first PUSCH is set by the upper layer parameter phaseTrackingRS the terminal device 1 may assume that the first setting and the second setting do not occur simultaneously for the transmitted PUSCH. The first setting may be that 4 to 7 DMRS ports are scheduled in the case of DMRS setting type 1. The first setting may be that 6 to 11 DMRS ports are scheduled in the case of DMRS setting type 2. The second setting may be that PTRS is transmitted. The first PUSCH may be a PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_2 The first PUSCH may also be a PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 0_1. The first setting may be 4 to 7 DMRS ports and 12 in the case of DMRS setting type 1. Any one of the DMRS ports from 0 to 15 may be scheduled. In the case of DMRS configuration type 1, the first configuration may be that any one of the DMRS ports from 6 to 11 and the DMRS ports from 18 to 23 are scheduled. The first configuration may be that, in the case of DMRS configuration type 1 and when DMRS extension is applied, any one of the DMRS ports from 4 to 7 and and any one of the DMRS ports from 12 to 15 are scheduled. The first configuration may be that, in the case of DMRS configuration type 1 and when DMRS extension is applied, any one of the DMRS ports from 6 to 11 and the DMRS ports from 18 to 23 are scheduled.
[0327] The procedure of PTRS transmission may be applied to the first PUSCH transmission (UE PUSCH transmission). The first PUSCH transmission may be a PUSCH transmission scheduled by the first DCI format when the first upper layer parameter is configured. The first upper layer parameter may be phaseTrackingRS. The first DCI format may be DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, or DCI format 0_2. The first PUSCH transmission may be a PUSCH transmission corresponding to the configured grant when the first upper layer parameter is configured. PTRS may exist in the second PUSCH. The second PUSCH may be a PUSCH transmission scheduled by a PDCCH with a CRC scrambled by the second RNTI. The second PUSCH may be a PUSCH transmission corresponding to the configured grant. The second RNTI may be any one of MCS-C-RNTI, C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, and SP-CSI-RNTI.
[0328] If transform precoding is not applied and the higher layer parameter phaseTrackingRS in the higher layer parameter DMRS-UplinkConfig is set, some or all of Operation 1, Operation 2, Operation 3, and part of Operation 4 may be executed, instructed, assumed, or determined.
[0329] The maximum number of PTRS ports may be given by the higher layer parameter maxNrofPorts. The higher layer parameter maxNrofPorts may be a higher layer parameter in the higher layer parameter UplinkConfig. The terminal device 1 may not expect that the number of PTRS ports (or UL PTRS ports) set is more than the number reported.
[0330] The terminal device 1 may report the ability to support full - coherent UL transmission. If the terminal device 1 reports the ability to support full - coherent UL transmission, the terminal device 1 may expect that the number of PTRS ports (or UL PTRS ports) is set to 1.
[0331] Two transmission methods may be supported for PUSCH. The two transmission methods may be codebook based transmission (or codebook based UL transmission) and non - codebook based transmission (or non - codebook based UL transmission).
[0332] One PTRS port may be associated with one DMRS port. In the case of codebook transmission or non-codebook transmission, the relationship (Association between (UL) PTRS port(s) and DMRS port(s)) between the PTRS port and the DMRS port may be signaled (indicated) by the first field. This may be the case. The first field may be a PTRS-DMRS association field. The first field may be included in DCI format 0_1 or DCI format 0_2. When corresponding to a grant for which PUSCH is configured (for example, grant type 1 configured), the relationship between the PTRS port and the DMRS port may be value 0 or "00" in the first field.
[0333] When PUSCH is scheduled by DCI format 0_0, the PTRS port may be associated with DMRS port 0.
[0334] In non-codebook transmission, the number of PTRS ports (actual number) may be determined based on the SRI (SRS resource indicator) in the first DCI format or the upper layer parameter sri-ResourceIndicator. For example, the number of PTRS ports (actual number) may be 8. When two SRS resource sets are configured and the upper layer parameter usage is set to 'noncodebook', the PTRS ports for the transmission corresponding to each SRS resource set The number (actual number) may be determined based on the SRI corresponding to the related SRS resource set, or may be determined based on the upper layer parameters srs-ResourceIndicator / srs-ResourceIndicator2 corresponding to the related SRS resource set. The PTRS port index (PTRS port) may be set by the upper layer parameter ptrs-PortIndex. For example, when the upper layer parameter phaseTrackingRS is set, the PTRS port index may be set by the upper layer parameter ptrs-PortIndex. The PTRS port index may be the PTRS port index for each set SRS resource.
[0335] In the case of codebook transmission in either partial-coherent or non-coherent, the number (actual number) of PTRS ports may be determined based on one or both of the TPMI and the number of layers. The number of layers may be determined based on the DCI format For example, in DCI format 0_1 and the DCI format The number of layers may be indicated by the precoding information and number of layer (field). When the upper layer parameter maxNrofPorts is set to 'n2', the transmission layer associated with the number of PTRS ports (actual number) may be derived from the TPMI. For example, antenna port 1000 and antenna port 1002 in the TPMI may share PTRS port 0. Antenna port 1001 and antenna port 1003 in the TPMI may share PTRS port 1. PTRS port 0 may be associated with layer x. Layer x may be transmitted on antenna port 1000 and antenna port 1002 in the TPMI. PTRS port 1 may be associated with layer y. Layer y may be transmitted on antenna port 1001 and antenna port 1003 in the TPMI. One or both of x and y may be given by the PTRS-DMRS relationship (PTRS-DMRS relationship field), which is a DCI parameter. For example, antenna ports {1000, 1002, 1004, 1006} may share PTRS port 0. Antenna ports {1001, 1003, 1005, 1007} may share PTRS port 1.

Layer y' may be transmitted on some or all of antenna ports {1001, 1003, 1005, 1007}. When the upper layer parameter maxNrofPorts is 'n2' and in the case of partial coherence or non-coherence, layer x' and layer y' may be determined. When eight antenna ports are applied, layer x' and layer y' may be given. When DMRS extension is applied, layer x' and layer y' may be given.
[0337] The precoding information - layer number field may be included in one or both of DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2. For example, the precoding information - layer number field may determine the number of layers and the TPMI (or TPMI index). The TPMI (Transmission Precoding Matrix Indicator) may be used to determine the precoding matrix for the PUSCH. The precoding matrix may be used for the mapping between layers and antenna ports. The precoding matrix may be used for beamforming. The number of information bits constituting the precoding information - layer number field may be determined based on some or all of the number of antenna ports, the maximum rank (number of layers), whether transform precoding is applied, the power mode, and the codebook subset. The information bits may be a bit field.

Of the 24 DMRS ports, 4 DMRS ports may be determined by the antenna port field.
[0355] The rank (or the value of the rank) may be determined according to the SRS resource indicator field. The rank (or the value of the rank) may be determined according to the precoding information - number of layers field.
[0356] Whether DMRS reception assistance is applied may be determined based on the DCI format. For example, the antenna port field included in the DCI format may determine whether DMRS reception assistance is applied. For example, 1 bit out of the information bits constituting the antenna port field may determine whether DMRS reception assistance is applied.
[0357] The PTRS-DMRS association field may be included in one or both of DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2. If DMRS expansion is not applied, the number of bits (number of information bits) constituting the PTRS-DMRS association field may be 2 bits. If DMRS expansion is applied, the number of bits constituting the PTRS-DMRS association field may be 3 bits.
[0358] The PTRS-DMRS relationship field may indicate the relationship between the PTRS port and the DMRS port. One or two PTRS ports may be set by upper layer parameters (e.g., maxNrofPorts). The DMRS port may be indicated by the antenna port field. If the SRS resource indication field exists and the maximum rank number is greater than 2, the PTRS-DMRS relationship field may indicate the relationship between the DMRS port and the PTRS port corresponding to one or both of the SRS resource indication field and the precoding information - number of layers field.
[0359] If the SRS resource indication field exists, and the SRS resource indication field is equal to "01" and "11", and the maximum rank number is 2, the most significant bit (MSB) of the PTRS-DMRS relationship field may indicate the relationship between the DMRS port and the PTRS port corresponding to one or both of the SRS resource indication field and the precoding information - number of layers field. Also, in these cases, the least significant bit (LSB) of the PTRS-DMRS relationship field may indicate the relationship between the DMRS port and the PTRS port corresponding to one or both of the second SRS resource indicator field and the second precoding information field. The maximum rank number may be determined by the upper layer parameter maxRank.
[0360] The Second PTRS-DMRS association field may be included in one or both of DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2. When DMRS extension is not applied, the number of bits (information bits) constituting the PTRS-DMRS association field may be 2 bits. When DMRS extension is applied, the number of bits constituting the PTRS-DMRS association field may be 3 bits. The Second PTRS-DMRS association field may indicate the relationship between the DMRS ports and the PTRS ports corresponding to one or both of the Second SRS resource indication field and the Second precoding information field.
[0361] The Second precoding information field may be included in one or both of DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2. For example, the Second precoding information field may determine the TPMI (or TPMI index). One or both of the SRS resource indicator field and the Second SRS resource indicator field may be included in DCI format 0_1 and DCI format 0_2.
[0362] The DMRS for PUSCH may be determined based on part or all of sequence generation, precoding, and mapping to physical resources. The sequence r(n) of the DMRS may be the same as the sequence of the DMRS for PDSCH. For example, the sequence r(n) of the DMRS may be determined based at least on the pseudo-random sequence c(i).
[0363] The transmitting unit and the baseband unit in the transmitting unit may generate DMRS (DMRS sequence). The DMRS (DMRS sequence) r(n) may be mapped to physical resources. For example, the DMRS r(n) may be mapped to physical resources after being mapped to virtual resources. The DMRS (PDSCH-DMRS) may be mapped to a virtual resource (or an intermediate quantity) a’ (p’(j),μ) k,l and may be mapped to the virtual resource a’ based at least on the frequency-domain orthogonal cover code index k’. (p’,μ) k,l If DMRS reception assistance is not applied, k’ may be {0,1}. If DMRS reception assistance is applied, k’ may be {0,1,2,3}. The subcarrier index k may be determined based on the frequency-domain orthogonal cover code index k’ and the DMRS setting type. p’ j may be p’(j). p’ j may be from p’0 to p’ v-1 v may be the number of layers. The vector by the virtual resource a’ of length v (p’(j),μ) k,l may be converted to the vector of the physical resource a of length ρ by at least the precoding matrix W (p,μ) k,l The vector by the virtual resource a’ of length v source a’ (p’(j),μ) k,l may be converted to the vector of the physical resource a of length ρ by multiplication with the precoding matrix W (p,μ) k,l The vector of {p’0, ..., p’ v-1} may be a set of virtual antenna ports. The virtual antenna port may be a DMRS antenna port. The virtual antenna port and the DMRS antenna port may be referred to as antenna ports. {p0, ..., p ρ-1} may be a set of antenna ports. The precoding matrix W may be used for precoding for PUSCH. The precoding matrix may be determined by the TPMI (TPMI index). That is, the precoding matrix may be determined based on the precoding information - number of layers field in the DCI format.
[0364] The transmitting unit and the baseband unit in the transmitting unit may generate a PTRS (PTRS sequence). The PTRS (PTRS sequence) r p’(j) (m) in layer j may be generated. For example, when j is j’, r p’(j’) (m) may be the DMRS sequence r(m). For example, when j is j’’, r p’(j’’) (m) may be the DMRS sequence r(m). For example, when j is neither j’ nor j’’, r p’(j) (m) may be 0. p’(j’) may be an antenna port (virtual antenna port, DMRS port) related to PTRS transmission. p’(j’) and p’(j’’) may be antenna ports (virtual antenna ports, DMRS antenna ports) related to PTRS transmission. p’(j’) may be related to the first DMRS port. p’(j’’) may be related to the second DMRS port. One or both of the first DMRS port and the second DMRS port may be determined by the PTRS - DMRS relationship field.
[0365] The PTRS (PTRS sequence) r p’(j) (m) may be mapped to the physical resource a (p,μ) k,l based at least on the precoding matrix W. For example, the vector by r p’(j) (m) of length v is converted to a vector of the physical resource a of length ρ by at least the precoding matrix W (p,μ) k,l The vector of p may be {p0, ..., p ρ-1}}.
[0366] The sub-carrier index k for PTRS is k RE ref determined based at least on may also be. k RE ref may be determined based on one or both of the DMRS antenna port p’ and the DMRS configuration type. For example, k may be determined based on. For example, k RE ref may be determined based on part or all of the DMRS antenna port p’, the DMRS configuration type and whether DMRS extension is applied. For example, k RE ref may be determined based on part or all of the DMRS antenna port p’, the DMRS configuration type, whether DMRS extension is applied, and whether DMRS reception assistance is indicated.
[0367] As an issue, in order to increase the number of simultaneous connections of a terminal device, extension of the DMRS port is necessary. However, one or more first DMRS ports used by a terminal device (for example, terminal device 1) may interfere with one or more second DMRS ports used by other terminal devices. For example, even if the resources (physical resources) for the first DMRS port are different from those for the second DMRS port, interference may exist. And the interference may inhibit communication. Also, PTRS may be used for correction of phase error. However, since one PTRS port may correspond to one of one or more DMRS ports PTRS port enhancement is also necessary for extension of the DMRS port. For example, one or both of means 1 and means 2 may be used for part or all of DMRS port extension, PTRS port enhancement, and interference suppression.
[0368] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of mapping to an antenna port of DMRS in one aspect of this embodiment. The first DMRS (DMRS sequence) may be mapped to a resource element corresponding to OFDM symbol 910 and antenna port #900 (AP#900). The second DMRS may be mapped to a resource element corresponding to OFDM symbol 911 and antenna port #901 (AP#901). The third DMRS may be mapped to a resource element corresponding to OFDM912 and antenna port #902 (AP#902). In FIG. 9, one block may be a resource element. In FIG. 9, a block with a “+” or “-” described therein may have DMRS arranged (mapped). In FIG. 9, a white block may not have DMRS arranged.
[0369] The first DMRS may be mapped to a first physical resource. The second DMRS may be mapped to a second physical resource. The third DMRS may be mapped to a third physical resource. The first physical resource may be based on at least OFDM symbol 910 and antenna port #900. The second physical resource may be based on at least OFDM symbol 911 and antenna port #901. The third physical resource may be based on at least OFDM symbol 912 and antenna port #902. In FIG. 9, DMRS extension may be applied. In FIG. 9, DMRS reception assistance may or may not be applied.
[0370] In FIG. 9, “+” may mean that w
[0371] (k’) is +1. In FIG. 9, “-” f may mean that w (k’) is -1. The DMRS in FIG. 9 is in DMRS setting type 1. f In FIG. 9, “+” may mean that w It may be the front DMRS of a single symbol. For example, w for the first DMRS corresponding to antenna port #900 f (k’) may be { w f (0)=+1, w f (1)=-1, w f (2)=-1, w f (3)=+1}. w for the second DMRS corresponding to antenna port #901 f (k’) may be { w f (0)=+1, w f (1)=-1, w f (2)=+1, w f (3)=-1}. w for the third DMRS corresponding to antenna port #902 f (k’) may be { w f (0)=+1, w f (1)=-1}, or {w f (0)=+1, w f (1)=-1, w f (2)=+1, w f (3)=-1}.
[0372] For example, antenna port #901 may be antenna port #902. That is, antenna port #901 may be the same as antenna port #902. OFDM symbol 911 may be the same as OFDM symbol 912. When DMRS reception assistance is applied, the second DMRS may be mapped based on the second w (k’). When DMRS reception assistance is not applied, the third DMRS may be mapped based on the second w (k’). The second w f (k’) may be {+1,-1,+1,-1}. When DMRS reception assistance is applied, k’ being {0,1,2,3} is also acceptable, and the second DMRS may be mapped based on the second w (k’). DMRS reception f (k’) may be mapped based on the second w f (k’). The second w (k’) may be {+1,-1,+1,-1}. When DMRS reception assistance is applied, k’ being {0,1,2,3} is acceptable, and the second DMRS may be mapped based on the second w f (k’). DMRS reception When no assistance is applied, k’ may be {0,1}, and the third DMRS may be mapped based on the second w f (k’).
[0373] In FIG. 9, the CDM group corresponding to antenna port #900 may be the same as the CDM group corresponding to antenna port #901. The first DMRS and the second DMRS may be scheduled simultaneously. The CDM group corresponding to antenna port #900 may be the same as the CDM group corresponding to antenna port #902. The first DMRS may not be expected to be scheduled simultaneously with the second DMRS. Both antenna port #900 and antenna port #902 may not be used. For example, in one or both of one PDSCH transmission and one PUSCH transmission, both antenna port #900 and antenna port #902 may not be used. For example, in one or both of one PDSCH transmission and one PUSCH transmission, both antenna port #900 and antenna port #902 may not be used.
[0374] OFDM symbol 910, OFDM symbol 911, and OFDM symbol 912 may be the same OFDM symbol. The base station device 3 may perform the first PDSCH transmission with the first DMRS for the first terminal device and the second PDSCH transmission with the second DMRS for the second terminal device in the same resource element. The base station device 3 may not perform the first PDSCH transmission with the first DMRS for the first terminal device and the third PDSCH transmission with the third DMRS for the third terminal device in the same resource element. The terminal device 1 at antenna port #900 may not expect the precoding of the co-scheduled terminal device at antenna port #902. The base station device 3 may perform the first PDSCH transmission with the first DMRS for the first terminal device and the second PDSCH transmission with the second DMRS for the second terminal device in the same resource element. The base station device 3 may not perform the first PDSCH transmission with the first DMRS for the first terminal device and the third PDSCH transmission with the third DMRS for the third terminal device in the same resource element. The base station device 3 may not perform the first PDSCH transmission with the first DMRS for the first terminal device and the third PDSCH transmission with the third DMRS for the third terminal device in the same resource element.
[0375] The terminal device 1 at antenna port #900 may not expect the precoding of the co-scheduled terminal device at antenna port #902.
[0376] When DMRS expansion is not applied, antenna port #900 may not be used, and antenna port #902 may be used.
[0377] In means 1, the DMRS (DMRS sequence, sequence of DMRS) r(·) for PDSCH may be mapped to one or more resource elements a (p,μ) k,l The DMRS (DMRS sequence, sequence of DMRS) r(·) for PUSCH may be mapped to one or more virtual resources a' (p’(j),μ) k,l The virtual resource may be mapped to one or more resource elements a based on the precoding matrix W (p,μ) k,l One or more resource elements may be referred to as physical resources respectively.
[0378] When DMRS is mapped to a physical resource (or a virtual resource), w f (k') may be used That is, DMRS may be mapped to a physical resource (or a virtual resource) based at least on the first frequency-domain orthogonal cover code index k', or the second frequency-domain orthogonal cover code index k'. The first frequency-domain orthogonal cover code index k' may be 0 and 1. The second frequency-domain orthogonal cover code index k' may be 0, 1, 2, and 3.
[0379] In means 1, when DMRS reception assistance is not applied, the physical resource (or the virtual resource) may be determined based on the first index k'. When DMRS reception assistance is applied, the physical resource (or the virtual resource) may be determined based on the second index k'.
[0380] When DMRS reception assistance is applied, the number of subcarriers for DMRS is expected to be 4 or more. If DMRS reception assistance is not applied, the number of subcarriers for DMRS may be set to 2 or less. When DMRS reception assistance is applied, the length K of the DMRS mapping in the frequency domain may be 4. When DMRS reception assistance is not applied, the length K of the DMRS mapping in the frequency domain may be 2. For example, the length K of the DMRS mapping in the frequency domain may be the length of the frequency domain orthogonal cover code. If the subcarrier-related index is k'', then the frequency domain orthogonal covering The DMRS code index k′ may be mod(k″, K). Whether the DMRS extension is applied may be determined by a higher layer parameter. Whether the DMRS reception assistance is applied may be determined based on the DCI format. The DCI format may indicate whether the DMRS reception assistance is applied.
[0381] The first field in the DCI format determines the antenna port (DMRS port). The second field in the DCI format indicates whether DMRS reception assistance is applied. The DCI format may determine whether the DMRS reception assistance is applied. The first field may be the same as the second field. That is, one field in the DCI format may indicate one or both of the antenna port (DMRS port) and whether DMRS reception assistance is applied. For example, if the DMRS extension is applied, one field in the DCI format may indicate both the antenna port (DMRS port) and whether DMRS reception assistance is applied. For example, if the DMRS extension is not applied, one field in the DCI format may not indicate whether DMRS reception assistance is applied.
[0382] The maximum number of DMRS ports when DMRS extension is applied may be greater than the maximum number of DMRS ports when DMRS extension is not applied. For example, when DMRS extension is applied, the maximum number of DMRS ports may be a first value. When DMRS extension is not applied, the maximum number of DMRS ports may be a second value.

X bits may be 2 bits. X' bits may be 3 bits. When DMRS extension is applied and layer extension is applied, one field may be composed of 0, or X' bits. The maximum number of layers when layer extension is applied may be greater than the maximum number of layers when layer extension is not applied. For example, when layer extension is applied, link transmission with up to 8 layers may be performed. When layer extension is applied, one field may be composed of 0, or X' bits.
[0385] The subcarrier index for PTRS may be determined based at least on whether DMRS extension is applied. For example, kRE ref It may be determined based on at least whether DMRS extension is applied.
[0386] In means 2, when DMRS extension is applied, PTRS may not be transmitted. For example, when DMRS extension is applied and a certain antenna port is used, PTRS may or may not be transmitted. A certain antenna port may be an antenna port (DMRS port) that becomes available due to the application of DMRS extension. For example, when DMRS extension is applied and DMRS reception assistance is applied, PTRS may or may not be transmitted. For example, when DMRS extension is applied and DMRS reception assistance is not applied, PTRS may or may not be transmitted. When DMRS extension is applied, it may be assumed that there is no PTRS. When the upper layer parameter phaseTrackingRS is set, it may not be expected that DMRS extension is applied. When DMRS extension is applied, it may not be expected that the upper layer parameter phaseTrackingRS is set.

When DMRS extension is applied for terminal device 1, terminal device 1 may not expect that DMRS extension is not applied for the co-scheduled terminal device. When DMRS reception assistance is applied for terminal device 1, terminal device 1 may not expect that DMRS reception assistance is not applied for the co-scheduled terminal device.

The first antenna port may be antenna port #900. The first antenna port may be one of the antenna ports made available by applying DMRS extension. The first antenna port may be the antenna port for terminal device 1. The second antenna port may be the antenna port for terminal device 1 or another terminal device (e.g., the co-scheduled terminal device).
