Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a terminal and a communication method. [Background technology]

[0002] 3GPP (registered trademark) has established specifications for the 5th generation mobile communication system (also known as 5G, New Radio (NR) or Next Generation (NG)), and is also working on specifications for the next generation mobile communication system, known as Beyond 5G, 5G Evolution, or 6G.

[0003] Release 18 discusses a duplexing scheme that enables simultaneous use of the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) by utilizing multiple subbands that make up a time division multiple access (TDD) band. This duplexing scheme is called subband non-overlapping full duplex (SBFD). Note that symbols to which SBFD is applied may also be called SBFD symbols. In addition, in SBFD symbols, subbands used for DL ​​may also be called DL subbands, and subbands used for UL may also be called UL subbands.

[0004] Furthermore, in preparation for Release 19, extensions to UL transmission and DL reception using SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols are being considered, and technical requirements for clarifying SBFD operation are being examined (Non-Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0005] [Non-Patent Document 1] “Revised WID: Evolution of NR duplex operation: Sub-band full duplex (SBFD)”, RP-241614, 3GPP TSG RAN Meeting #104, 3GPP, June 17-20, 2024 [Non-patent document 2] 3GPP TR 38.858 V18.1.0 (2024-03) [Non-patent document 3] 3GPP TS 38.300 V18.2.0 (2024-06) [Non-patent document 4] 3GPP TR 38.215 V18.4.0 (2024-12) [Non-Patent Document 5] 3GPP TS 38.331 V18.1.0 (2024-03) [Non-patent document 6] 3GPP TS 38.133 V18.8.0 (2024-12) Summary of the Invention

[0006] Non-Patent Document 2 summarizes the technical requirements for SBFD operation and summarizes the points that need to be considered for the implementation of Release-19. The updated WID (Non-Patent Document 1) lists as one of the issues that dynamic TDD or flexible TDD operation faces the adverse effect of cross-link interference (CLI) on PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) performance and measurement accuracy. CLI is interference that occurs between different cells, base stations, or terminals, and occurs, for example, when one base station or terminal is transmitting while another base station or terminal is receiving in the same frequency band.

[0007] When L1 CLI measurements are scheduled to measure this crosslink interference (CLI), it is assumed that the L1 CLI measurements will collide with UL transmissions. However, the UE behavior when L1 CLI measurements in the UL subband collide with UL channels / signals in the UL subband is not clear, and the handling of this issue remains an open issue and requires further study.

[0008] One aspect of the present disclosure contributes to a terminal and a communication method capable of performing appropriate collision handling when L1 CLI measurements in an UL subband and an UL channel / signal in the UL subband collide.

[0009] A terminal according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a communication unit that transmits and receives signals whose transmission and / or reception symbol type is Subband non-overlapping Full Duplex (SBFD) symbol type, and a control unit that measures cross link interference (CLI) in a physical layer and sets resources for reporting the measurement results, and when a resource for transmitting an uplink signal and a resource for measuring the cross link interference collide in an uplink subband of the SBFD symbol type, the control unit performs one of transmitting the uplink signal and measuring the cross link interference according to a preset rule.

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the same or similar reference numerals are used to designate the same functions or configurations, and descriptions thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

[0012] <Wireless communication system configuration> 1 is a wireless communication system conforming to a scheme called 5G. Alternatively, the wireless communication system 10 may be a wireless communication system conforming to a scheme called Beyond 5G, 5G Evolution, or 6G.

[0013] The wireless communication system 10 can support Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (Massive MIMO), which generates more directional beams by controlling wireless signals transmitted from multiple antenna elements, Carrier Aggregation (CA), which uses multiple component carriers (CCs) by bundling them together, and Dual Connectivity (DC), which communicates with two base stations simultaneously. In this specification, "and / or" may be simply written as " / ".

[0014] As shown in FIG. 1, a wireless communication system 10 includes a base station 100 (hereinafter also referred to as a gNodeB (gNB) 100) constituting a Next Generation-Radio Access Network (NG-RAN) 20, and a terminal 200 (hereinafter also referred to as a user equipment (UE) 200) that performs wireless communication with the gNB 100. The NG-RAN 20 is connected to a core network (CN) (not shown). The CN is composed of multiple network functions (NFs). The NFs are, for example, an access and mobility management function (AMF) and a network data analytics function (NWDAF). The AMF performs, for example, registration of the UE 200. The NWDAF performs, for example, optimization of the CN. Note that the specific configuration of the wireless communication system 10, for example, the number of gNBs 100 and UEs 200, is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 1. The NG-RAN 20 and the CN may be simply referred to as a "network."

[0015] The gNB100 may be a base station in a Centralized-Radio Access Network (C-RAN) configuration having a distributed unit (DU) having a function for connecting to the UE200 and a central unit (CU) having a function for connecting to the network. In this case, the gNB100 may be read as a DU, a CU, or a DU and a CU. When read as a DU, the gNB100 may be called a gNB-DU. When read as a CU, the gNB100 may be called a gNB-CU. When read as a DU and a CU, the DU portion may be called a gNB-DU and the CU portion may be called a gNB-CU.

[0016] Furthermore, the wireless communication system 10 may support a plurality of frequency ranges (FRs). That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the wireless communication system 10 may support the following FRs: FR1: 410MHz~7.125GHz FR2-1: 24.25GHz~52.6GHz ·FR2-2: More than 52.6GHz~71GHz

[0017] In FR1, a subcarrier spacing (SCS) of 15, 30, or 60 kHz and a bandwidth (BW) of 5 to 100 MHz may be used, and in FR2-1, an SCS of 60 or 120 kHz (or 240 kHz) and a BW of 50 to 400 MHz may be used.

[0018] Note that SCS may be interpreted as numerology. Numerology is defined in §5.1 of Non-Patent Document 3 and corresponds to one subcarrier spacing in the frequency domain.

[0019] In FR2-2, to avoid an increase in phase noise, Cyclic Prefix-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM) or Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM) with a larger SCS may be applied.

[0020] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a radio frame (system frame), subframe, and slot used in the radio communication system 10. As shown in Fig. 3, one slot is made up of 14 symbols, and the larger (wider) the SCS, the shorter the symbol period (and slot period). However, the SCS is not limited to the interval (frequency) shown in Fig. 3. For example, 480 kHz, 960 kHz, etc. may be used as the SCS.

[0021] Furthermore, the number of symbols constituting one slot does not necessarily have to be 14 (for example, it may be 28 or 56 symbols, etc.) Furthermore, the number of slots per subframe may differ depending on the SCS.

[0022] The time direction (t) shown in Fig. 3 may be called a time domain, a symbol period, a symbol time, etc. The frequency direction may be called a frequency domain, a resource block, a subcarrier, a bandwidth part (BWP), etc.

[0023] The wireless communication system 10 may support coverage enhancement (CE) that expands the coverage of a cell (or a physical channel) formed by the gNB 100. In coverage enhancement, a mechanism for increasing the success rate of reception of various physical channels, such as repetition of a physical random access channel (PRACH), may be provided.

[0024] For example, UE200 receives information related to the random access procedure from gNB100 as a downlink (DL) signal (e.g., SIB1 (System Information Block Type 1) etc.).

[0025] Furthermore, for example, the UE 200 transmits the PRACH as an UL signal to the gNB 100 using a RACH (transmission) occasion (RO: RACH Occasion), which is a resource for transmitting a random access preamble. For example, the UE 200 repeats the PRACH as an UL signal to the gNB 100.

[0026] The UL signal may include, for example, a UL data signal and control information. For example, the UL signal may include information related to the processing capability of the UE 200 (e.g., UE capability). The UL signal may also include a reference signal.

[0027] Channels used for transmitting UL signals include, for example, data channels and control channels. For example, the data channels may include a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), and the control channels may include a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH). For example, the UE 200 transmits control information using the PUCCH and transmits UL data signals using the PUSCH. Note that the PUSCH is an example of an uplink shared channel, and the PUCCH is an example of an uplink control channel. The shared channels may also be called data channels.

[0028] The reference signal included in the UL signal may include at least one of, for example, a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS), a Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS), a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), and a Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) for positioning information. For example, reference signals such as the DMRS and PTRS are used to demodulate the UL data signal and are transmitted using the PUSCH.

[0029] Meanwhile, in response to the operation of UE200, gNB100 transmits information related to the RACH procedure to UE200 as a DL signal (e.g., SIB1, etc.).

[0030] Furthermore, for example, the gNB 100 receives, as an UL signal, a PRACH from the UE 200. For example, the gNB 100 receives, as an UL signal, a PRACH from the UE 200 in a repetition manner.

[0031] Channels used for transmitting DL signals include, for example, data channels and control channels. For example, the data channel may include a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and the control channel may include a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). For example, the gNB 100 transmits control information to the UE 200 using the PDCCH, and transmits DL data signals using the PDSCH. Note that the PDSCH is an example of a downlink shared channel, and the PDCCH is an example of a downlink control channel. Note that the PDCCH may be interpreted as downlink control information (DCI), control information, etc. transmitted in the PDCCH.

[0032] The reference signal included in the DL signal may include, for example, at least one of DMRS, PTRS, CSI-RS, SRSRS, and PRS for location information. For example, the reference signal such as DMRS or PTRS is used for demodulating the DL data signal and is transmitted using the PDSCH.

[0033] Here, the UE 200 performs measurements related to reception quality in the physical layer. The measurements related to reception quality in the physical layer may be referred to as L1 measurements. The reception quality in the physical layer may include L1-SRS-RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) and L1-CLI-RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator). Hereinafter, the measurement of L1-SRS-RSRP by the UE 200 is referred to as "L1-SRS-RSRP measurement."

[0034] Furthermore, the UE 200 reports measurement results relating to reception quality in the physical layer to the gNB 100. This reporting may be referred to as L1 reporting.

[0035] The L1-SRS-RSRP may be a linear average of the power ([W]) of the resource elements carrying the SRS. The measurement time resource of the linear average may be configured by a higher layer (RRC message).

[0036] The L1-CLI-RSSI may be a linear average of the observed total received power ([W]). The measurement time resource for the linear average may be configured by higher layers (RRC messages).

[0037] The definitions of L1-SRS-RSRP and L1-CLI-RSSI may be newly introduced. The definitions of L1-SRS-RSRP and L1-CLI-RSSI may be the same as the existing SRS-RSRP / CLI-RSSI, or may be updated definitions of the existing SRS-RSRP / CLI-RSSI. The existing SRS-RSRP / CLI-RSSI may be those defined in TR38.215 §5.1.19 / §5.1.20.

[0038] <SBFD operation> Considering the time ratio of transmission and reception by Time Division Duplex (TDD) up to Rel-16 (for example, DL:UL = 4:1), there may be cases where the transmission occasions of UL signals / channels are fewer than the reception occasions of DL signals / channels. In such cases, UE200 may not be able to transmit UL signals / channels frequently, and there is concern that significant transmission delays may occur for important UL signals / channels. Also, since the UL transmission occasions are fewer compared to the DL reception occasions, congestion of signals / channels in UL transmission occasions is also a concern. Furthermore, in TDD, since the time resources available for transmitting UL signals / channels are limited, for example, the application of UL coverage extension techniques such as repetition is also limited.

[0039] In future wireless communication systems (for example, after Rel-18), it is being considered to introduce a time-frequency division duplex method that combines TDD and Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) for UL and DL.

[0040] Examples of the time-frequency division duplexing method include XDD (Cross Division Duplex) and Subband Non-Overlapping Full Duplex (SBFD). XDD or SBFD may refer to a duplexing method that frequency-division multiplexes DL and UL within one component carrier (CC) in the TDD band (allowing DL and UL to be used simultaneously).

[0041] Figure 4A is a diagram showing an example of the TDD configuration defined up to Rel-16. In the example shown in Figure 4A, TDD slots or symbols are configured for a UE in a bandwidth such as one component carrier (CC) (which may also be called a cell or serving cell) or bandwidth portion (BWP).

[0042] In the example shown in Figure 4A, the time ratio of DL slots to UL slots is 4:1. This conventional TDD slot or symbol configuration does not ensure sufficient UL time resources, which can result in UL transmission delays and reduced coverage performance.

[0043] Fig. 4B is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of SBFD. In the example shown in Fig. 4B, within one component carrier (CC), resources used for DL ​​reception and resources used for UL transmission overlap in time. With such a resource configuration, more UL resources can be secured, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0044] For example, as shown in the example of Figure 4B, both ends of the frequency domain may be set as DL resources, and UL resources may be sandwiched between these DL resources. This may prevent or mitigate cross link interference (CLI) with neighboring carriers. Also, a guard region may be set at the boundary between the DL resources and the UL resources.

[0045] Considering the complexity of handling self-interference, it may be considered that only the gNB 100 uses the DL resource and the UL resource simultaneously. That is, in radio resources where the DL and UL overlap in time, one UE 200 may use the DL resource and another UE 200 may use the UL resource.

[0046] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of SBFD operation. In the example shown in Fig. 5, some of the DL resources of the TDD band are configured as UL resources, and the DL and UL are configured to partially overlap in the time domain.

[0047] In the example shown in FIG. 5, during the DL-only period, each of the multiple UEs 200 (UE1 and UE2 in FIG. 5) receives the DL channel / signal.

[0048] Furthermore, during a period in which DL and UL overlap in time, one UE 200 (UE1 in the example of FIG. 5) receives a DL channel / signal, and another UE 200 (UE2 in the example of FIG. 5) transmits a UL channel / signal. During this period, the gNB 100 performs simultaneous transmission and reception of DL and UL.

[0049] Furthermore, during the UL-only period, each of the multiple UEs 200 (UE1 and UE2 in FIG. 5) transmits a UL channel / signal.

[0050] In existing NR (e.g., those defined up to Rel-15 / 16 / 17), DL frequency resources and UL frequency resources in a UE carrier are configured as DL BWP and UL BWP, respectively. To switch DL / UL frequency resources to other DL / UL frequency resources, multiple BWP configurations and a BWP adaptation mechanism are required.

[0051] Figure 6A is a diagram showing an example of an existing TDD configuration. In Figure 6A, slots / symbols marked with "D" are DL slots / symbols, slots / symbols marked with "U" are UL slots / symbols, and slots / symbols marked with "F" are flexible (hereinafter also referred to as FL) slots / symbols. Note that similar notations may be used in the following figures.

[0052] In the existing NR, as shown in FIG. 6A, time resources (time units such as symbols and slots) in the TDD carrier for UE 200 are configured as at least one of DL, UL, and flexible (FL) in the TDD configuration.

[0053] Figure 6B is a diagram showing an example of an existing TDD configuration. In Figure 6B, slots / symbols or subbands marked with "D" are DL slots / symbols or DL ​​subbands, and slots / symbols or subbands marked with "U" are UL slots / symbols or UL subbands. Note that similar notations may be used in the following figures.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 6B , the SBFD symbol may be a symbol that is signaled or configured as UL (or DL) or for UL transmission (or DL ​​reception) on some frequency resources (subbands), and signaled or configured as DL (or UL) or for DL ​​reception (or UL transmission) on other frequency resources (subbands). Alternatively, the SBFD symbol may be a symbol that is signaled or configured as UL (or DL) or for UL transmission (or DL ​​reception) on a portion of frequency resources. Alternatively, the SBFD symbol may be a symbol that is signaled or configured as DL (or UL) or for DL ​​reception (or UL transmission) on a portion of frequency resources.

[0055] Here, the time unit may be at the symbol level, slot / subslot level, or a group of symbols / slots / subslots, i.e., the SBFD time unit may be an SBFD symbol, a slot / subslot containing or overlapping an SBFD symbol, or a group of symbols / slots / subslots containing or overlapping an SBFD symbol.

[0056] A pure time unit may be a non-SBFD symbol (i.e., a symbol that is not an SBFD symbol, also called a non-SBFD symbol), a slot / sub-slot that does not contain or overlap an SBFD symbol, or a group of symbols / slots / sub-slots that do not contain or overlap an SBFD symbol, and may also be called a non-SBFD time unit.

[0057] As described above, SBFD may be applied to each slot / symbol. Note that each slot / symbol may be set to DL, UL, or Flexible (FL) that can be used as DL or UL, and then SBFD may be applied.

[0058] SBFD is a type of (full-duplex) duplexing scheme based on time division duplexing (TDD), enabling simultaneous use of multiple sub-bands that make up the TDD band. SBFD can be described as a duplexing scheme in which multiple sub-bands are specified within the TDD band, a duplexing scheme in which UL and DL are allocated non-overlapping in the frequency direction in the TDD time unit, or a duplexing scheme in which all two sub-bands are overlapped.

[0059] A symbol to which SBFD is applied is also called an SBFD symbol. "SBFD is applied" may be interpreted as SBFD being applied to at least a part of scheduling. In other words, a "symbol to which SBFD is applied" may be interpreted as a symbol to which SBFD is applied (SBFD symbol) in scheduling to which SBFD is applied. Also, a "time unit to which non-SBFD is applied" may be interpreted as a symbol to which SBFD is not applied (non-SBFD symbol) in scheduling to which SBFD is applied.

[0060] Furthermore, a UE that supports SBFD operation (SBFD-compatible UE) is referred to as an SBFD-aware UE or an SBFD-capable UE, and a UE that does not support SBFD operation is referred to as a legacy UE. For example, when SBFD is applied to a DL symbol, an SBFD-aware UE can recognize the UL subband (and DL subband) in this SBFD symbol, but a legacy UE recognizes this SBFD symbol as a normal DL symbol.

[0061] <Crosslink Interference> Cross-Link Interference (CLI) is interference that occurs between uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) communications. In SBFD operation, DL and UL partially overlap in the time domain, so solutions are required to manage cross-link interference between base stations (gNBs) and between UEs. Solutions are also required for intra-subband CLI and inter-subband CLI.

[0062] The SRS-RSRP (Sounding Reference Signal Received Power) is defined as the linear average of the power components (unit: W) in the resource elements carrying the sounding reference signal (SRS). The SRS-RSRP is measured for a set of resource elements within the measurement frequency bandwidth at a set measurement time occasion (see §5.1.19 of Non-Patent Document 4). For example, the SRS-RSRP can be used to measure the interference power from a specific UE.

[0063] The SRS-ResourceConfigCLI configuration configures information elements (IEs) such as the subcarrier spacing (srs-SCS), the index of the reference serving cell to which the refBWP belongs (refServCellindex), and the ID of the DL BWP (refBWP) used to derive the reference point for the SRS resources (see §6.3.2 of 3GPP TS 36.3.2).

[0064] The CLI-RSSI (Cross-Link Interference Received Signal Strength Indicator) is defined as the linear average of the total received power (unit: [W]) observed within the configured measurement bandwidth, the configured OFDM symbols, and the configured measurement time resource. This power includes all signal sources, such as signals from co-channel serving and non-serving cells, adjacent channel interference, and thermal noise (see §5.1.20 of Non-Patent Document 4). For example, CLI-RSSI can be used to measure the interference power in the total received power in a certain band.

[0065] The RSSI-ResourceConfigCLI configuration specifies information elements (IEs) such as the reference subcarrier spacing for CLI-RSSI measurement (rssi-SCS), the start PRB index of the measurement bandwidth (startPRB), the allowable size of the measurement bandwidth (nrofPRBs), the OFDM symbol position of the CLI-RSSI resource within the slot (startPosition), the RSSI that the UE measures within the slot configured for CLI-RSSI measurement in the range from startPosition to startPosition+nrofSymbols-1 (nrofSymbols), the periodicity and slot offset of the CLI-RSSI resource (rssi-PeriodicityAndOffset), and the index of the reference serving cell (refServCellIndex) (see §6.3.2 of non-patent document 5).

[0066] <csi-report> Section 5.2 of Non-Patent Document 5 provides an overview of how a UE reports channel state information (CSI) to a gNB. To enable a UE to correctly report channel state information to a gNB, CSI-ResourceConfig and CSI-ReportConfig define the reference signal resources to be measured, and also define the report content, report timing, and report destination. The UE is configured using the following parameters: · Reporting configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) -Configuration of resources used for measurement (CSI-ResourceConfig) - Setting trigger conditions by DCI (TriggerStateList)

[0067] The CSI-ReportConfig is used to configure periodic or semi-persistent reporting transmitted on a PUCCH in a cell in which the CSI-ReportConfig is included, and to configure semi-persistent or aperiodic reporting triggered by DCI received in a cell in which the CSI-ReportConfig is included and transmitted on a PUSCH. In this case, the cell from which the report is transmitted is determined by the received DCI. Furthermore, the resource configuration by the CSI-ResourceConfig specifies the reference signal resources used in the CSI-ResourceConfig, the timing of the resources (aperiodic / periodic / semi-persistent), etc.

[0068] (RRC information elements) The configuration of RRC information elements such as the CSI report config (CSI-ReportConfig), CSI resource config (CSI-ResourceConfig), R16 CLI measurement resource config (MeasObjectCLI-r16), AP CSI report triggering (CSI-AperiodicTriggerStateList), and SP CSI report triggering (CSI-SemiPersistentOnPUSCH-TriggerStateList) is disclosed in §6.3.2 of Non-Patent Document 5.

[0069] The CSI report config is a configuration related to reporting CSI feedback. Multiple CSI report configs can be set. The CSI-ResourceConfigId in the CSI report config is an identifier indicating the resource used when performing measurements.

[0070] The CSI resource config is a configuration for setting CSI resources, called by the CSI-ResourceConfigId in the CSI report config. The csi-RS-ResourceSetList in the CSI resource config is a list in which multiple resources such as nzp-CSI-RS-SSB can be set as a CSI-RS (Reference Signal) resource set.

[0071] R16 CLI measurement resource config is a configuration related to L3 (Layer 3) reporting by measurement report. SRS resource, RSSI resource, etc. are set by CLI resource config called in measurement object.

[0072] AP CSI report triggering is a configuration for calling CSI-ReportConfigId to trigger a specific state selected from the trigger states pre-configured in RRC by DCI when periodically triggering a CSI report in DCI.

[0073] SP CSI report triggering is a configuration for calling CSI-ReportConfigId to trigger a specific state selected from the trigger states pre-configured in RRC when semi-persistently triggering a CSI report.

[0074] (CSI report framework in NR) As shown in FIG. 7, the UE configures a CSI report with an information group including Resource setting for Channel Measurement and reports it to the gNB. The Report setting in FIG. 7 is an image of the CSI report config. The Resource setting is information indicating the CSI-RS resource used for CSI measurement.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 8, each Resource setting #i (i is an integer greater than or equal to 0) contains a CSI-RS resource set #j (j is an integer greater than or equal to 0). The Resource setting in FIG. 8 is an image of the CSI resource config.

[0076] (Objectives of the Work Item (WID) on the Evolution of NR Duplex Modes in Rel-19) In Rel-18, studies were conducted to enable simultaneous downlink and uplink (full duplex, more specifically, subband non-overlapping full duplex) on the gNB side within the conventional TDD band. Regarding SBFD, TR 38.858 summarizes the impact on specifications, performance evaluation results, implementability, impact on radio frequency (RF) requirements, and impact on specifications regarding dynamic / flexible TDD extensions, performance evaluation results, etc. According to the conclusions of TR 38.858, it is desirable to specify in Rel-19 SBFD operation on the gNB side within TDD carriers, CLI processing methods between gNBs, CLI processing methods between UEs, and RF requirements for SBFD operation at the gNB.

[0077] In Non-Patent Document 1, the 3GPP work item (WID) on the evolution of NR duplex operation has been updated. The objectives of the study for Rel-19 are, for example, as follows:

[0078] -Specify extensions for CLI (Cross Link Interference) processing [RAN1, RAN2, RAN3, RAN4] Includes content regarding UL resource muting for PUSCH [RAN1, RAN2, RAN4]: Semi-persistent indication / decision of UL resource muting for PUSCH for up to 2 symbols in the time domain based on comb-2 (comb-like mapping pattern) for both DFT-S-OFDM and CP-OFDM in each allocated PRB PUSCH resource mapping around muted REs (resource elements), i.e., rate matching Determining UCI resources on symbols containing muted REs Includes UE-to-UE CLI measurements and reporting at L1 level (physical layer) based on the existing CSI framework [RAN1, RAN2, RAN4]: Setting / determining periodic, semi-persistent or aperiodic measurement resources (sets), i.e. SRS-RSRP resources or CLI-RSSI resources, as well as 'type D' QCL assumptions for CLI measurement resources At least non-periodic reporting New reporting quantities, e.g., L1-SRS-RSRP, L1-CLI-RSSI, and / or measurement resource index -UCI bit generation Priority rules for multiple CSI reports Accuracy requirements for CLI measurement Note: No special optimizations for dynamic / flexible TDD are assumed.

[0079] In this embodiment, interference occurring between a downlink (DL) communication of a UE and an uplink (UL) communication of another UE is measured by UE-to-UE CLI measurement. In this UE-to-UE CLI measurement, the CSI framework is used as a base, and changes to the priority rules for multiple CSI reports are considered.

[0080] <Agreement 1> At the 3GPP RAN1#118bis and #119 meetings, it was agreed to define the SRS-RSRP measurement resource set and the CLI-RSSI measurement resource set as follows (see FIG. 9).

[0081] Agreement (3GPP RAN1#118bis) The previous agreement is updated as follows:

[0082] Agreement (1-1) Extend CSI-ResourceConfig to include two CLI measurement resource set lists for L3-based SRS-RSRP measurements and CLI-RSSI measurements, based on SRS-ResourceConfigCLI and rssi-ResourceConfigCLI defined in Rel-16. The resourceType in these two new CLI measurement resource set lists can be set to periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic. As in the current specification, the number of periodic / semi-persistent CLI measurement resource sets included in one CSI-ResourceConfig is limited to 1. NOTE: There is no need to define new uses for SRS resource sets.

[0083] Agreement (1-2) (3GPP RAN1#119) We define a new information element (IE) SRS-RSRP-MeasurementResourceSet that contains a set of SRS-RSRP measurement resources (SRS-RSRP-MeasurementResource) for L1-based SRS-RSRP measurements. - Configuration of slot offset between the slot containing the DCI that triggers the aperiodic SRS-RSRP resource set and the slot where the SRS-RSRP resource set is measured (already agreed in RAN1#118bis) -Future Considerations (FFS): Other Settings SRS-RSRP-MeasurementResource contains the following parameters: - Traditional SRS resource information elements -Future Considerations (FFS): Other parameters

[0084] Agreement (1-3) (3GPP RAN1#119) Define a new information element (IE) CLI-RSSI-MeasurementResourceSet that contains a set of CLI-RSSI measurement resources (CLI-RSSI-MeasurementResource) for L1-based CLI-RSSI measurements. - Configuration of slot offset between the slot containing the DCI that triggers the set of aperiodic CLI-RSSI resources and the slot in which the CLI-RSSI resource set is measured (already agreed in RAN1#118bis) CLI-RSSI-MeasurementResource contains the following parameters: -CLI-RSSI Measurement Resource ID - PRB start index -Number of PRBs -Start symbol of CLI-RSSI resource within slot -Number of CLI-RSSI resource symbols in a slot -CLI-RSSI resource period and slot offset -Future Considerations (FFS): Other parameters

[0085] As mentioned above, CLI measurement resources are roughly divided into SRS-RSRP and CLI-RSSI measurement resources. SRS-RSRP is used to measure interference power from a specific UE, and CLI-RSSI is used to measure interference power in terms of the total amount of received power in a certain band at a certain time.

[0086] <Agreement 2> At the 3GPP RAN1#120bis meeting, an agreement was reached on a UE Feature Group (FG) that supports simultaneous reception of DL signals / channels over FDM and L1 SRS-RSRP measurements (see Figure 10).

[0087] Agreement (2-1) (3GPP RAN1#120bis) The following functional groups (FGs) are defined: [Table 1]

[0088] The FGs in Table 1 are functional groups that support FDM DL signal / channel reception and L1 SRS-RSRP measurement. The functionalities supported by the UE are logically grouped and defined to organize and classify them. The definition of the FG (Feature Group) enables support of the functionalities by type (by terminal or by terminal band in the above table).

[0089] <Agreement 3> At the 3GPP RAN1#116-118bis meetings, an agreement was reached on collision handling for cases where reception in the DL subband and transmission in the UL subband collide within the same symbol in an SBFD-enabled UE (see FIGS. 11 and 12).

[0090] Agreement (3-1) For SBFD-capable UEs, collisions between downlink reception in DL sub-bands and uplink transmission in UL sub-bands within an SBFD symbol can be addressed or mitigated by appropriate scheduling. The following potential collision cases warrant further consideration to determine whether changes to the current specification are necessary when link direction indication is not supported or provided: Case 1: Dynamically scheduled DL reception and semi-statically configured UL transmission For example, when a dynamic PDSCH or CSI-RS collides with a configured SRS, PUCCH, or CG PUSCH. Case 2: Semi-statically configured DL reception and dynamically scheduled UL transmission For example, when PDCCH or SPS PDSCH collides with dynamic PUSCH or PUCCH Case 3: Semi-statically configured DL receive and semi-statically configured UL transmit Case 4: Dynamically scheduled DL reception and dynamically scheduled UL transmission Case 5: SSB (Synchronization Signal Block) and dynamic or configured UL transmission For example, PUSCH, PUCCH, PRACH, or SRS Case 6: Dynamic or quasi-static DL reception and valid Random Access Occasion (RO) Note: This includes collisions between DL reception and UL transmission within the same SBFD symbol, as well as collisions between different symbols due to insufficient transition time for the UE to switch between transmission and reception.

[0091] Agreement (3-2) If link direction indication is not supported / provided for SBFD symbols, for collision case 1 (dynamically scheduled DL reception and semi-statically configured UL transmission), the existing collision handling principles and timelines for flexible symbols on a single carrier in unpaired spectrum in NR are reused: if the cancellation timeline is met, the UL transmission is canceled. -This does not imply that link direction indication is supported. - Dynamic DL reception with repetition is a matter for further consideration (FFS)

[0092] Agreement (3-3) If link direction indication is not supported / provided for the SBFD symbol, then in collision case 4 (dynamically scheduled DL reception and dynamically scheduled UL transmission), it is considered an error case if DL reception without repetition in the DL sub-band overlaps with UL transmission without repetition in the UL sub-band. - The handling of cases where there is repetition in DL reception or UL transmission is for further consideration (FFS).

[0093] Agreement (3-4) If link direction indication is not supported or not provided for the SBFD symbol, collision case 3 (semi-statically configured DL reception and semi-statically configured UL transmission) for an SBFD capable UE is considered an error case. An SBFD-capable UE does not expect to simultaneously receive, in an SBFD symbol, both dedicated higher layer parameter settings for UL PRBs available for transmission from the UE and dedicated higher layer parameter settings for DL ​​PRBs available for DL ​​reception. An SBFD-capable UE does not expect to simultaneously receive, in an SBFD symbol, both dedicated upper layer parameter settings for UL PRBs available for transmission from the UE and cell-specific upper layer parameter settings for DL ​​PRBs available for DL ​​reception. · Cell-specific configured DL reception here refers to PDCCH in the CSS set of Type-0 / 0A / 1 / 2. * Further Considerations (FFS): Additional Cases

[0094] Agreement (3-5) Reusing the existing collision handling principles in NR TDD, SSB takes priority over configured and dynamically scheduled UL transmissions. - For Further Study (FFS): Consider whether slots consisting of only SSB symbols are considered "full DL slots" or whether SSB symbols consisting of SBFD subbands are considered SBFD symbols, allowing only DL reception within DL enabled PRBs for SBFD capable UEs.

[0095] Agreement (3-6) In collision cases 1 / 2 / 4, even if repetition is present in DL reception and / or UL transmission, the same collision handling rules and timelines that apply to DL reception and UL transmission without repetition apply for each repetition.

[0096] Agreed Items (3 - 7) If the link direction indication is not supported or not provided for the SBFD symbol, for collision case 6 (dynamic or quasi - static DL reception and valid random access occasion), reuse the existing collision handling rules defined for HD - FDD RedCap UE. - The UE does not assume a collision between the PRACH triggered by an order on the PDCCH and the dynamically scheduled DL reception. - In the case of a collision between the PRACH triggered by a PDCCH order and the quasi - statically configured DL reception, the UE does not receive the DL channel / signal. - For the collision between the PRACH triggered from the upper layer and the DL channel / signal, it is left to the UE implementation to decide whether to receive the DL or transmit the PRACH.

[0097] Working Assumption For the SSB symbol composed of SBFD sub - bands: - Option 1: The SSB symbol composed of SBFD sub - bands is regarded as an SBFD symbol. The SBFD - compliant UE is only allowed DL reception within the DL - available PRBs. · Note: Assume that the SSB block is included within the DL sub - band.

[0098] <Availability of UE Scheduling during CLI Measurement> Section 9.7.4 of Non - Patent Document 6 describes the availability of UE scheduling during CLI measurement, and explains the limitations of scheduling availability when the UE is performing CLI measurements with SRS - RSRP and CLI - RSSI (see Figure 13).

[0099] 9.7.4 Availability of UE Scheduling during CLI Measurement The restrictions on scheduling availability when the UE is performing CLI measurements of SRS-RSRP and CLI-RSSI are as described in the following sections.

[0100] 9.7.4.1 Scheduling availability for UEs performing measurements in FR1 The following scheduling restrictions apply due to CLI measurements: The UE is not expected to transmit PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS in the OFDM symbol in which the CLI measurement is being performed and in the data symbol immediately preceding the OFDM symbol used for CLI measurement for 15 kHz and 30 kHz subcarrier spacing. For UEs that do not support -cli-SRS-RSRP-FDM_DL, it is not assumed that the UE will receive PDCCH / PDSCH / CSI-RS for tracking / CSI-RS for CQI in the OFDM symbol where the UE is performing SRS-RSRP measurement, or in the data symbol immediately preceding the OFDM symbol used for SRS-RSRP measurement at 15 kHz and 30 kHz subcarrier spacing. (Note that cli-SRS-RSRP-FDM_DL is a capability for FDM-encoded L3-SRS-RSRP measurement and DL signal reception.) -For UEs that do not support cli-RSSI-FDM-DL, it is not expected that PDCCH / PDSCH / CSI-RS for tracking / CSI-RS for CQI will be received in the OFDM symbol where CLI-RSSI measurement is performed, and in the data symbol immediately preceding the OFDM symbol used for CLI-RSSI measurement at 15 kHz and 30 kHz subcarrier spacing. The UE is not expected to transmit PUCCH / PUSCH / SRS in the OFDM symbol in which the CLI measurement is being performed and in the data symbol two symbols before the OFDM symbol used for CLI measurement with 60 kHz subcarrier spacing. For UEs that do not support -cli-SRS-RSRP-FDM_DL, it is not expected that PDCCH / PDSCH / CSI-RS for tracking / CSI-RS for CQI will be received in the OFDM symbol where the SRS-RSRP measurement is being performed and in the data symbol two symbols before the OFDM symbol used for the SRS-RSRP measurement at 60 kHz subcarrier spacing. -For UEs that do not support cli-RSSI-FDM-DL, it is not expected that PDCCH / PDSCH / CSI-RS for tracking / CSI-RS for CQI will be received in the OFDM symbol where the CLI-RSSI measurement is performed and in the data symbol two symbols before the OFDM symbol used for the CLI-RSSI measurement at 60 kHz subcarrier spacing. When TDD intra-band carrier aggregation is configured, the scheduling restrictions for the serving cell on which CLI measurements are performed apply to all serving cells within the same band on symbols that fully or partially overlap with the restricted symbols.

[0101] As described above, when a UE performs CLI measurements (SRS-RSRP and CLI-RSSI), restrictions are imposed on transmission and reception scheduling. The restrictions apply to whether transmission and reception is possible for the measurement target symbol and the data symbol immediately preceding it, and vary depending on the subcarrier spacing (15 / 30 / 60 kHz).

[0102] <Problem analysis> As mentioned above, previous meetings have discussed collision handling between DL reception in the DL subband and UL transmission in the UL subband in the SBFD symbol. Based on this discussion, UE behavior regarding collision handling between L1-SRS-RSRP measurement and DL reception when the UE does not support FDM DL reception and L1-SRS-RSRP measurement capabilities (see Figure 10) has also been studied. However, collision handling between L1 CLI measurement in the UL subband (including L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement in the UL subband) and UL transmission in the UL subband has not yet been studied. There are still unresolved issues requiring further study, including the following: It is required to apply scheduling restrictions based on L1 CLI measurements or clarify the collision handling rules to be applied. When applying collision handling rules, it is necessary to consider whether the timing of L1 measurements should be taken into account.

[0103] Therefore, in this embodiment, collision handling of L1 CLI measurement in the UL sub-band and UL transmission in the UL sub-band will be considered.

[0104] <Proposal Summary> When collision occurs between the L1 CLI-RSSI measurement / L1 SRS-RSRP measurement in the UL sub-band and the UL channel / signal in the UL sub-band, the UE performs collision handling according to the following options 1 to 3. (Option 1) The UE applies scheduling restrictions according to L1 CLI measurements. (Option 2) The UE always prioritizes the UL channel / UL signal (UL transmission). (Option 3) The UE handles collisions on a case-by-case basis depending on the type of L1 measurement and the type of UL channel.

[0105] The items described in the following proposals may be combined as appropriate as long as no contradictions arise.

[0106] In this application, the notation " / " may mean "and / or" unless otherwise specified.

[0107] <Proposal> As proposals in this embodiment, the following options 1 to 3 will be explained in order.

[0108] (Option 1) The UE applies scheduling restrictions according to L1 CLI measurements.

[0109] In this option 1, the UE does not transmit PUSCH / PUCCH / SRS (UL transmission) in the symbols in which it performs L1-SRS-RSRP measurement and / or L1-CLI-RSSI measurement.

[0110] (Variation of Option 1) The UE shall not transmit / transmit SRS via PUSCH / PUCCH (UL transmission) until X symbols before the symbols used for L1-SRS-RSRP and / or L1-CLI-RSSI measurements and / or Y symbols after the symbols used for L1-SRS-RSRP and / or L1-CLI-RSSI measurements.

[0111] · The X / Y values ​​may be determined by the SCS (of the BWP) of the L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement. For example, X>Y, and / or X>0, and / or Y>=0 For example, X=1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, X=2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or X=2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS. For example, Y>=0 / 1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, Y=0 / 1 / 2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or Y=0 / 1 / 2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS.

[0112] The reason why the value of X is assumed to be larger than the value of Y is that signal transmission often occurs slightly earlier than the scheduled timing due to radio wave propagation delays, etc. Therefore, taking this UL transmission timing into consideration, the scheduling of UL transmission is restricted to a timing slightly before the L1 CLI measurement (X symbols before the symbol used for measurement). Also, since the symbol length is inversely proportional to the SCS, the value of X is set to a larger value when the SCS is larger.

[0113] (Option 2) The UE always prioritizes the UL channel / UL signal (UL transmission).

[0114] In this option 2, the UE does not perform L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement in symbols where PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / SRS transmission is performed.

[0115] (Variation of Option 2) The UE does not perform L1-SRS-RSRP measurements / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements from X symbols before the symbol for PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / SRS transmission and / or until Y symbols after the symbol for PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / SRS transmission.

[0116] · The X / Y values ​​may be determined by the SCS (of the BWP) of the L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement. For example, X>Y, and / or X>0, and / or Y>=0 For example, X=1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, X=2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or X=2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS. For example, Y>=0 / 1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, Y=0 / 1 / 2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or Y=0 / 1 / 2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS.

[0117] (Option 3) The UE handles collisions on a case-by-case basis depending on the type of L1 measurement and the type of UL channel / signal.

[0118] In this option 3, the following cases 3A to 3D are assumed as types of L1 measurements and UL channels for which collision processing is performed. [Case 3A] Collision handling when the L1 measurements are aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurements / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements (in the UL sub-band) and the UL channel / signal is a dynamic UL channel / signal (in the UL sub-band) [Case 3B] Collision handling when L1 measurements are aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurements / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements and UL channels / signals are configured by higher layers [Case 3C] Collision handling when L1 measurements are periodic / semi-persistent L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements and UL channels / signals are dynamic channels / signals [Case 3D] Collision handling when L1 measurements are periodic / semi-persistent L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements and UL channels / signals are configured by higher layers

[0119] The UE performs collision handling according to the options corresponding to cases 3 A to 3 D. Each case and the options corresponding to each case will be explained below in order.

[0120] [Case 3A] If the L1 measurement is an aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement (within the UL subband) and the UL channel / signal is a dynamic UL channel / signal (within the UL subband), the UE performs collision handling according to the following options 3A-1 to 3A-2.

[0121] (Option 3A-1) The UE does not expect L1 measurements and UL channels / signals (UL transmissions) to be scheduled / triggered at the same time.

[0122] This option 3A-1 does not assume that the UE is triggered by DCI to measure aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurements / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resources (in the UL sub-band) on a symbol set and, at the same time, the UE is scheduled / triggered by DCI to transmit PUSCH / PUCCH / aperiodic SRS (in the UL sub-band) on any symbol of the same symbol set.

[0123] In other words, this Option 3A-1 does not simultaneously support aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resource (within the UL sub-band) measurement on a symbol set and PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS (within the UL sub-band) transmission on any symbol of the symbol set.

[0124] (Variation of Option 3A-1) It is not assumed that a UE is triggered by a DCI to measure aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resource (in the UL sub-band) on a symbol set and, at the same time, the UE is scheduled / triggered by a DCI to transmit PUSCH / PUCCH / aperiodic SRS (in the UL sub-band) on symbols from any symbol X symbols before the same symbol set and / or any symbol Y symbols after the same symbol set.

[0125] · The X / Y values ​​may be determined by the SCS (of the BWP) of the L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement. For example, X>Y, and / or X>0, and / or Y>=0 For example, X=1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, X=2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or X=2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS. For example, Y>=0 / 1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, Y=0 / 1 / 2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or Y=0 / 1 / 2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS.

[0126] (Option 3A-2) The UE will give priority to the schedule / triggered by the most recent DCI.

[0127] When the UE is triggered by the first DCI to measure aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resources on a symbol set, and the UE detects a second / closest DCI to schedule / trigger a PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS (in the UL sub-band) transmission on any symbol of the symbol set, the UE performs the PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS transmission scheduled / triggered by the second / closest DCI (in the UL sub-band) on that symbol. ·The UE does not perform aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements.

[0128] If the UE detects the first DCI to schedule / trigger a PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS transmission (in the UL subband) on a symbol set, and the UE is triggered by the second / closest DCI to measure aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resource on any symbol of the symbol set, the UE performs L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement on that symbol. · The UE shall not transmit PUSCH / PUCCH / non-periodic SRS transmissions scheduled / triggered by the first DCI (in the UL subband).

[0129] (Variation of Option 3A-2) When the UE is triggered by the first received DCI to measure aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resource on a symbol set, and the UE detects a second / most recent DCI for scheduling / triggering a PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS (in the UL sub-band) transmission in any symbol X symbols before in the same symbol set and / or any symbol Y symbols after in the same symbol set, the UE performs the scheduled / triggered PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS transmission according to the most recent DCI (in the UL sub-band) on that symbol. ·The UE does not perform aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements. · The X / Y values ​​may be determined by the SCS (of the BWP) of the L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement. For example, X>Y, and / or X>0, and / or Y>=0 For example, X=1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, X=2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or X=2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS. For example, Y>=0 / 1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, Y=0 / 1 / 2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or Y=0 / 1 / 2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS.

[0130] When the UE detects the first DCI for scheduling / triggering a PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS transmission (in the UL subband) on a symbol set, and the UE is triggered by the second / closest DCI to measure aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resources on symbols from any symbol X symbols before in the same symbol set and / or any symbol Y symbols after in the same symbol set, the UE performs L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement on those symbols. · The UE shall not transmit PUSCH / PUCCH / non-periodic SRS transmissions scheduled / triggered by the first DCI (in the UL subband). · The X / Y values ​​may be determined by the SCS (of the BWP) of the L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement. For example, X>Y, and / or X>0, and / or Y>=0 For example, X=1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, X=2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or X=2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS. For example, Y>=0 / 1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, Y=0 / 1 / 2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or Y=0 / 1 / 2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS.

[0131] [Case 3B] If the L1 measurement is an aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement and the UL channel / signal is an UL channel / signal configured by a higher layer, the UE performs collision handling according to the following option 3B.

[0132] (Option 3B) The UE prioritizes aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurements / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements.

[0133] In this Option 3B, if the UE is triggered by DCI to measure aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resources on a symbol set and is configured / activated to transmit PUCCH / PUSCH / periodic or semi-persistent SRS (in the UL subband) on any symbol of the same symbol set, the UE will perform aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements on that symbol set. · The UE does not transmit via PUSCH / PUCCH / periodic or semi-persistent SRS.

[0134] (Variation of Option 3B) If the UE is triggered by DCI to measure aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resources on a symbol set and is configured / activated to transmit PUCCH / PUSCH / periodic or semi-persistent SRS (in the UL subband) from any symbol before X symbols of the same symbol set and / or from any symbol after Y symbols of the same symbol set, the UE shall perform aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements on that symbol set. · The UE does not transmit SRS via PUSCH / PUCCH / periodic or semi-persistent. · The X / Y values ​​may be determined by the SCS (of the BWP) of the L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement. For example, X>Y, and / or X>0, and / or Y>=0 For example, X=1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, X=2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or X=2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS. For example, Y>=0 / 1 for 15 / 30 kHz SCS, Y=0 / 1 / 2 for 60 kHz SCS, and / or Y=0 / 1 / 2 / 4 for 120 kHz SCS.

[0135] [Case 3C] If the L1 measurements are periodic / semi-persistent L1-SRS-RSRP measurements / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements and the UL channel / signal is a dynamic UL channel / signal, the UE performs collision handling according to the following option 3C.

[0136] (Option 3C) The UE prioritizes dynamic UL channels / signals (UL transmissions).

[0137] In Option 3C, if the UE detects DCI that schedules / triggeres PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS transmission on a symbol set and is configured / activated to measure L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resources periodically / semi-persistently on any symbol within the same symbol set, the UE will perform PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS transmission on that symbol set. · The UE does not perform periodic / semi-persistent L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements.

[0139] [Case 3D] If the L1 measurement is a periodic / semi-persistent L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement and the UL channel / signal is a UL channel / signal configured by a higher layer, the UE performs collision handling according to the following options 3D-1 to 3D-3.

[0140] (Option 3D-1) The UE does not expect L1 measurements and UL channels / signals (UL transmissions) to be scheduled / triggered at the same time.

[0141] This option 3D-1 does not assume that a UE is configured / activated to measure L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resources periodically / semi-persistently on a symbol set and, at the same time, the UE is configured / activated to transmit PUCCH / PUSCH / periodic or semi-persistently SRS (in the UL subband) on any symbol of the same symbol set.

[0151] (Example) 14 is a flowchart showing an example of UE operation in Option 3 proposed in the present disclosure. To make it easier to understand the relationship of Option 3, the determinations for each case of Option 3 are comprehensively described, but only the necessary parts of the determinations related to Option 3 may be executed. The UE executes collision processing related to Option 3 by processing the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0152] In step S1, the control unit of the UE determines whether the L1 measurement is an aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement (in the UL subband). If the control unit determines that the L1 measurement is aperiodic in step S1 (S1: Yes), the flow proceeds to step S2. On the other hand, if the control unit determines that the L1 measurement is not aperiodic in step S1 (S1: No), the flow proceeds to step S3.

[0153] In S2, the control unit of the UE determines whether the UL channel / signal is a dynamic UL channel / signal (within the UL subband). If the control unit determines in S2 that the UE channel / signal is dynamic (S2: Yes), the flow proceeds to S4. On the other hand, if the control unit determines in S2 that the UE channel / signal is not dynamic (S2: No), the flow proceeds to S5.

[0154] In S3, the control unit of the UE determines whether the UL channel / signal is a dynamic UL channel / signal (within the UL subband). If the control unit determines in S3 that the UE channel / signal is dynamic (S3: Yes), the flow proceeds to S6. On the other hand, if the control unit determines in S3 that the UE channel / signal is not dynamic (S3: No), the flow proceeds to S7.

[0155] In S4, the control unit of the UE executes processing related to "Option 3A-1" or "Option 3A-2" based on the received configuration information or pre-configured information.

[0156] In S4, when the control unit performs the process according to Option 3A-1, the control unit does not assume that L1 measurement and UL channel / signal (UL transmission) are scheduled / triggered simultaneously. When the control unit is triggered by DCI to measure aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resources on a symbol set, the control unit measures the aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resources on the symbol set. When the control unit detects DCI that schedules / trigger PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS (in the UL subband) transmission on any symbol of the symbol set, the control unit controls the communication unit to perform PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS transmission scheduled / triggered by the DCI.

[0157] In S4, when the control unit performs the process according to Option 3A-2, the control unit prioritizes scheduling / triggering by a more recent DCI. When the control unit is triggered by a first DCI to measure aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resource on a symbol set and detects a second / proximate DCI for scheduling / triggering PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS (in the UL subband) transmission on any symbol of the symbol set, the control unit controls the communication unit to perform PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS transmission scheduled / triggered by the second / proximate DCI (in the UL subband) on the symbol.

[0158] Also, in S4, if the control unit detects the first DCI for scheduling / triggering a PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / non-periodic SRS transmission (in the UL subband) on a symbol set, and the control unit is triggered by the second / closest DCI to measure a non-periodic L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resource on any symbol of the symbol set, the control unit performs L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement on that symbol.

[0159] In S5, the UE controller prioritizes aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements. If the controller is triggered by the DCI to measure aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resources on a symbol set and is configured / activated to transmit PUCCH / PUSCH / periodic or semi-persistent SRS (in the UL subband) on any symbol of the same symbol set, the controller performs aperiodic L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurements on that symbol set (Option 3B).

[0160] In S6, the control unit of the UE performs processing with a priority given to dynamic UL channels / signals (UL transmissions). If the control unit detects DCI that schedules / triggers PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS transmission on a symbol set and is configured / activated to periodically / semi-persistently measure L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resources on any symbol in the same symbol set, the control unit controls the communication unit to perform PUSCH / PUCCH transmission / aperiodic SRS transmission on the symbol set (option 3C).

[0161] In S7, the control unit of the UE executes processing related to "Option 3D-1", "Option 3D-2" or "Option 3D-3" based on the received configuration information or pre-configured information.

[0162] In S7, when the control unit performs the process according to Option 3D-1, the control unit does not assume that the L1 measurement and the UL channel / signal (UL transmission) are scheduled / triggered simultaneously. If the control unit is configured / activated to measure the L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resource periodically / semi-persistently on the symbol, the control unit measures the L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resource on the symbol. Also, if the control unit is configured / activated to transmit the SRS (in the UL subband) via the PUCCH / PUSCH periodically or semi-persistently on the symbol, the control unit controls the communication unit to transmit the SRS on the PUCCH / PUSCH periodically or semi-persistently.

[0163] In S7, when the control unit performs the process according to Option 3D-2, the control unit performs the process by prioritizing L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement. If the control unit is configured / activated to measure the L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resource periodically / semi-persistently on a symbol and is also configured / activated to transmit via PUCCH / PUSCH / periodically or semi-persistently SRS (in the UL subband) on any symbol of the same symbol set, the control unit performs the L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement on that symbol set.

[0164] In S7, when the control unit performs the process according to Option 3D-3, the control unit performs the process by prioritizing the UL channel / signal (UL transmission). When the control unit is configured / activated to measure the L1-SRS-RSRP measurement / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement resource periodically / semi-persistently on a symbol and configured / activated to transmit by PUCCH / PUSCH / periodic or semi-persistently SRS (in the UL subband) on any symbol of the same symbol set, the control unit controls the communication unit to transmit the SRS on the PUCCH / PUSCH / periodic or semi-persistently.

[0165] (effect) As described above, according to this proposal, when a collision / contention occurs between L1 CLI measurement in the UL subband (including L1-SRS-RSRP / L1-CLI-RSSI measurement in the UL subband) and UL transmission in the UL subband, the UE determines whether to prioritize L1 measurement or UL transmission based on the received configuration information or pre-configured information, or depending on the type of L1 measurement and the type of UL channel, thereby enabling appropriate collision handling.

[0173] In the present disclosure, information from the network (NW) is set / indicated as follows: ·UE common / UE only Cell specific / Cell common Per UE / CC / BWP / band / cell / CG

[0174] (Signal from UE to NW) In this disclosure, the UE may report the following types of information to the network (NW): Also, throughout the proposal, the network (NW) may be referred to as a gNB. Information via higher layer signaling (e.g. RRC message / LPP message) MAC CE Subheader with new LCID in the subheader Extending an existing MAC CE (e.g., introducing a new octet) UCI UCI on PUCCH or PUSCH Combination of the above information

[0176] <UE capability> The UE capability indicating the capability of the terminal may include the following information indicating the capability of the terminal. For example, the following new UE capability and report signaling (and RRC configuration) may be defined. Note that the information indicating the capability of the terminal may correspond to information defining the capability of the terminal. The UE may report the following information indicating the capabilities of the terminal to the gNB: ·Device capabilities for each proposal ·Ability to implement each option or combination of options in each proposal · Capabilities for each alternative or combination of alternatives in each proposal The UE may report information indicating the above-mentioned terminal capabilities for each frequency to the gNB. · Capabilities for UE / FR1 / FR2 / FR2-1 / FR2-2 / FR3 / SCS / band / BC / FC / FSPC etc. The UE may report information indicating the above terminal capabilities for each cell to the gNB. Capabilities for each UE / cell / TDD / FDD, etc.

[0177] The above UE capabilities and the configurations of this proposal are closely related, and if the functions related to each option in each proposal depend on the UE capabilities, the gNB may select or enable the functions related to each option based on the capabilities reported by the UE.

[0178] Next, the configurations of the gNB100 and the UE200 will be described. Note that the configurations of the gNB100 and the UE200 described below are examples of functions related to the present embodiment. The gNB100 and the UE200 may have functions not shown. Furthermore, the functional divisions and / or names of the functional units are not limited as long as the functions perform the operations related to the present embodiment.

[0179] <Base station configuration> Fig. 15 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a base station 100 (gNodeB (gNB) 100) according to this embodiment. The gNB 100 includes, for example, a transmitter 101, a receiver 102, and a controller 103. The gNB 100 communicates with a UE 200 (see Fig. 16) by radio.

[0180] The transmitter 101 transmits a downlink (DL) signal to the UE 200. For example, under the control of the controller 103, the transmitter 101 transmits a DL signal (for example, the above-mentioned RRC, SIB, MAC CE, DCI, notification, confirmation, etc.).

[0181] The DL signal may include, for example, a downlink data signal and control information (e.g., Downlink Control Information (DCI)). The DL signal may also include information indicating scheduling related to signal transmission by the UE 200 (e.g., an UL grant). The DL signal may also include control information of higher layers (e.g., control information of Radio Resource Control (RRC)). The DL signal may also include a reference signal.

[0182] The channels used for transmitting DL signals include, for example, a downlink data channel and a downlink control channel. For example, the downlink data channel may include a PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel), and the downlink control channel may include a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel). For example, the gNB 100 transmits downlink control information to the UE 200 using the PDCCH and transmits downlink data signals using the PDSCH.

[0183] The reference signal included in the DL signal may include at least one of a demodulation reference signal (Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS)), a Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS), a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS), a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), and a Positioning Reference Signal (PRS) for position information. For example, reference signals such as DMRS and PTRS are used for demodulating downlink data signals and are transmitted using the PDSCH.

[0184] The receiver 102 receives an uplink (UL) signal transmitted from the UE 200. For example, under the control of the controller 103, the receiver 102 receives an UL signal (for example, the above-mentioned request, notification, etc.).

[0185] The transmitting unit 101 and the receiving unit 102 may be collectively referred to as a communication unit.

[0186] The control unit 103 controls the communication operations of the gNB 100, including the transmission processing of the transmission unit 101 and the reception processing of the reception unit 102.

[0187] For example, the control unit 103 acquires information such as data and control information from the upper layer and outputs it to the transmitting unit 101. The control unit 103 also outputs the data, control information, etc. received from the receiving unit 102 to the upper layer.

[0188] For example, the control unit 103 allocates resources (or channels) used for transmitting and receiving DL signals and / or resources used for transmitting and receiving UL signals based on a signal (e.g., data and control information, etc.) received from the UE 200 and / or data and control information, etc. acquired from an upper layer. Information on the allocated resources may be included in control information transmitted to the UE 200.

[0189] <Device configuration> 16 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of UE 200 according to the present embodiment. UE 200 includes, for example, a receiving unit 201, a transmitting unit 202, and a control unit 203. UE 200 communicates with gNB 100, for example, by radio.

[0190] The transmitter 202 transmits the UL signal to the gNB 100. For example, the transmitter 202 transmits the UL signal under the control of the controller 203.

[0191] The UL signal may include, for example, an uplink data signal and control information (e.g., UCI). For example, information related to the processing capability of the UE 200 (e.g., UE capability) may be included. The UL signal may also include a reference signal.

[0192] The channels used for transmitting UL signals include, for example, an uplink data channel and an uplink control channel. For example, the uplink data channel includes a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel), and the uplink control channel includes a PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel). For example, the UE 200 transmits uplink control information to the gNB 100 using the PUCCH and transmits an uplink data signal using the PUSCH.

[0193] The reference signals included in the UL signal may include, for example, at least one of DMRS, PTRS, CSI-RS, SRS, and PRS. For example, the reference signals such as DMRS and PTRS are used for demodulating the uplink data signal and are transmitted using an uplink channel (for example, PUSCH).

[0194] For example, the receiving unit 201 may receive physical layer signaling (e.g., DCI (Downlink Control Information), UCI (Uplink Control Information)), higher layer signaling (RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling, MAC (Medium Access Control) signaling, broadcast information (MIB (Master Information Block), SIB (System Information Block))), and other signals from the NW or gNB100.

[0195] For example, the receiving unit 201 may receive values ​​related to SRS-ResourceConfigCLI, RSSI-ResourceConfigCLI, CSI-ReportConfig, and CSI-ResourceConfig as RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling from the NW or gNB100.

[0196] For example, the receiver 201 may monitor and decode the target DCI based on information indicating a search space associated with the DCI and information indicating a control resource set (CORESET) in response to an instruction from the controller 203.

[0197] The receiving unit 201 and the transmitting unit 202 may be collectively referred to as a communication unit.

[0198] The control unit 203 controls the communication operations of the UE 200, including the reception processing in the reception unit 201 and the transmission processing in the transmission unit 202.

[0199] For example, the control unit 203 acquires information such as data and control information from a higher layer and outputs it to the transmitting unit 202. Also, the control unit 203 outputs, for example, the data and control information received from the receiving unit 201 to the higher layer.

[0200] For example, the control unit 203 may perform control based on DCI and RRC signaling.

[0201] For example, the control unit 203 may monitor physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates based on information indicating a search space associated with the DCI and information indicating a control resource set (CORESET), and may instruct the receiving unit 201 to decode the target DCI.

[0202] For example, the control unit 203 may perform CLI measurement and CLI reporting based on values ​​related to SRS-ResourceConfigCLI, RSSI-ResourceConfigCLI, CSI-ReportConfig, and CSI-ResourceConfig, and SBFD or non-SBFD symbol type, etc.

[0213] In the present disclosure, the term "apparatus" may be interchangeable with any two terms selected from a set of terms such as "circuit," "device," "unit," "module," "chip," "means," etc. The hardware configurations of the gNB100 and the UE200 may be configured to include one or more of the devices shown in the drawings, or may be configured to exclude some of the devices.

[0214] Each function in gNB100 and UE200 is realized by loading specified software (programs) onto hardware such as processor 1001, memory 1002, etc., so that processor 1001 performs calculations, controls communication by communication device 1004, and controls reading, writing, or both reading and writing of data in memory 1002 and storage 1003.

[0215] The processor 1001 controls the entire computer by running, for example, an operating system. The processor 1001 may be configured by a central processing unit (CPU) including an interface with peripheral devices, a control device, an arithmetic unit, a register, etc. For example, the above-mentioned baseband signal processing unit 104, call processing unit 105, etc. may be realized by the processor 1001. Although only one processor 1001 is shown in the figure, there may be multiple processors.

[0216] Furthermore, the processor 1001 reads programs (program codes), software modules, data, etc. from the storage 1003, the communication device 1004, or both the storage 1003 and the communication device 1004 into the memory 1002, and executes various processes in accordance with the programs. The programs used are those that cause a computer to execute at least some of the operations described in the above-described embodiments. For example, the control unit 401 of the UE 200 may be implemented by a control program stored in the memory 1002 and running on the processor 1001, and similar implementations may be made for other functional blocks. While the above-described various processes have been described as being executed by one processor 1001, they may also be executed simultaneously or sequentially by two or more processors 1001. The processor 1001 may be implemented by one or more chips. The programs may be transmitted from a network via a telecommunications line, or may be provided to the computer via, for example, the communication device 1004.

[0217] The present disclosure also provides a computer program product including a computer program, which may implement the steps of the methods described in the above embodiments when the computer program is executed by a computer (e.g., the processor 1001).

[0218] The memory 1002 is a computer-readable recording medium and may be configured, for example, as a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable ROM (EPROM), an electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), a random access memory (RAM), or a combination of at least two of these. The memory 1002 may also be called a register, a cache, a main memory (primary storage device), or the like. The memory 1002 can store executable programs (program codes), software modules, and the like for implementing a wireless communication method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0219] Storage 1003 is a computer-readable recording medium, and may be, for example, an optical disk such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disc ROM), a hard disk drive, a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk (e.g., a compact disk, a digital versatile disk, a Blu-ray disc), a smart card, a flash memory (e.g., a card, a stick, a key drive), a floppy disk, a magnetic strip, or a combination of at least two of these. Storage 1003 may also be referred to as an auxiliary storage device. The above-mentioned storage medium may be, for example, memory 1002, storage 1003, or a database, server, or other appropriate medium including both memory 1002 and storage 1003.

[0220] The communication device 1004 is hardware (transmission / reception device) for communicating between computers via a wired network, a wireless network, or both wired and wireless networks, and is also referred to as, for example, a network device, a network controller, a network card, or a communication module. The communication device 1004 may be configured to include a high-frequency switch, a duplexer, a filter, a frequency synthesizer, or a combination of at least two of these. For example, the above-mentioned transmission / reception antenna 101, amplifier unit 102, transmission / reception unit 103, transmission path interface 106, etc. may be realized by the communication device 1004. The transmission / reception unit 103 may be implemented as a transmission unit 103a and a reception unit 103b that are physically or logically separated.

[0221] The input device 1005 is an input device that accepts input from the outside (for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone, a switch, a button, a sensor, or a combination of at least two of these). The output device 1006 is an output device that outputs to the outside (for example, a display, a speaker, an LED lamp, or a combination of at least two of these). The input device 1005 and the output device 1006 may be integrated into one device (for example, a touch panel).

[0222] Furthermore, each device, such as the processor 1001 and the memory 1002, is connected by a bus 1007 for communicating information. The bus 1007 may be configured using a single bus, or may be configured using different buses between each device.

[0223] Furthermore, the gNB 100 and the UE 200 may be configured to include hardware such as a microprocessor, a digital signal processor (DSP), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic device (PLD), a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a neural processing unit (NPU), or a combination of at least two of these, and some or all of the functional blocks may be realized by the hardware. For example, the processor 1001 may be implemented using at least one of these pieces of hardware.

[0224] <Information notification, signaling> The notification of information is not limited to the aspects / embodiments described in the present disclosure, and may be performed using other methods. For example, the notification of information may be performed by physical layer signaling (e.g., Downlink Control Information (DCI) and Uplink Control Information (UCI)), higher layer signaling (e.g., Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) signaling, broadcast information (Master Information Block (MIB) and System Information Block (SIB))), other signals, or a combination of at least two of these. Note that the physical layer signaling may be referred to as Layer 1 (L1) control information. The MAC signaling may be referred to as a MAC Control Element (CE) or a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU), for example. Furthermore, the RRC signaling may be referred to as an RRC message or an information element (IE) in the RRC message. The RRC message may be, for example, a message used for controlling an RRC connection (for example, setup, reconfiguration, establishment, reestablishment, release, or resume), mobility, a measurement report, or notification of a terminal's capabilities, or may be an information element within the message. Furthermore, notification of information may be explicit or implicit. Note that explicit notification of certain information means notification of the certain information itself, and implicit notification of certain information may mean notification of information other than the certain information, or may mean that the certain information is considered to have been notified when a certain condition is satisfied.Furthermore, notification of information may include not only notification between the same layers of different devices (e.g., between a lower layer or an upper layer of the gNB100 and the UE200) but also notification between different layers in the same or different devices (e.g., between a lower layer and an upper layer in the gNB100 or the UE200). Notification of information from one device to another device may be performed via one or more devices. Regarding any information (e.g., a variable, a constant, a parameter, a setting) described in the present disclosure, even if not specifically stated in the above embodiments, information indicating / specifying (or relating to) the value of the any information may be notified from any first device (e.g., a terminal / base station) to any second device (e.g., a base station / terminal).

[0225] <Processing procedures, etc.> The order of the procedures, sequences, flowcharts, etc. of each aspect / embodiment described in this disclosure may be changed unless inconsistent. For example, the methods described in this disclosure present elements of various steps using an example order, and are not limited to the particular order presented.

[0226] <Base station operation> In the present disclosure, a specific operation described as being performed by a base station may be performed by its upper node or by some of its upper nodes (e.g., CU, RU, or DU, etc.) in some cases. It is clear that various operations performed for communication with a terminal in a RAN or core network may be performed by at least some of the base station and other network nodes other than the base station. The other network node may be one node or a combination of multiple nodes. The network node is, for example, a node provided in various core networks such as EPC (Evolved Packet Core) and 5GC (5G Core Network), and provides one or more network functions (NF: Network Functions), but is not limited to this.

[0227] Furthermore, in the present disclosure, the operation of "a terminal receives information from a base station" accompanies the operation of "the base station transmits the information to the terminal," "the base station generates the information," or both. Similarly, the operation of "a terminal transmits information to a base station" accompanies the operation of "the base station receives the information from the terminal." Furthermore, the operation of "a terminal is configured to ..." or "configure UE to ..." may include the operation of "a base station transmits configuration information regarding the configuration of the terminal" and the operation of "a terminal configures a predetermined operation based on the configuration information."

[0228] <Variations of form, etc.> Each aspect / embodiment described in the present disclosure may be used alone, in combination, or switched depending on the implementation.

[0229] The present disclosure has been described above, but it is for illustrative purposes only, and the present invention is not limited to the aspects / embodiments described in the present disclosure. The present disclosure can be implemented in modified and altered forms without departing from the spirit of the invention. The present disclosure and its modifications and alterations are included in the scope of the present invention and its equivalents.

[0230] <"First", "Second"> As used in this disclosure, any reference to an element using a designation such as "first," "second," etc. does not generally limit the quantity or order of those elements. These designations may be used in this disclosure as a convenient method of distinguishing between two or more elements. Thus, a reference to a first and a second element does not imply that only two elements may be employed or that the first element must in some way precede the second element.

[0231] <Radio resource definition> The radio resource may be defined by a combination of resource units in one or more domains, such as the time domain, the frequency domain, the spatial domain, the code domain, and the power domain.

[0232] For example, resources in the time domain may be defined by one or more time units. The one or more time units may include, but are not limited to, a radio frame, a subframe, a slot, a symbol, a transmission time interval (TTI), or a combination of at least two of these. The time unit may be a fixed-length time unit independent of numerology, a variable-length time unit dependent on numerology, or both. Examples of fixed-length time units include, but are not limited to, a subframe consisting of one or more slots and a radio frame including multiple subframes. Examples of variable-length time units include, but are not limited to, a symbol and a slot including a fixed number of symbols. A certain time unit may be divided into shorter time units. Examples of shorter time units include, but are not limited to, a minislot consisting of fewer symbols than the number of symbols constituting a slot. The above-described time units may include, for example, time units used as units for scheduling, link adaptation, etc. Furthermore, any time unit in the present disclosure may be read as another time unit.

[0233] Numerology is a parameter that defines the physical layer structure, and may be a parameter based on at least one of subcarrier spacing (SCS), symbol length, cyclic prefix length, and sampling time, for example.

[0234] Resources in the frequency domain may be defined, for example, by one or more frequency units. The one or more frequency units may include, for example, subcarriers, resource blocks (RBs), bandwidth parts (BWPs), carrier bandwidths, or a combination of at least two of these, but the terminology of the frequency units is not limited to these. The number of subcarriers included in a frequency unit may be a fixed number regardless of numerology, or may be a variable number that changes depending on numerology. For example, an RB is composed of a predetermined number of consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain, and the number of subcarriers included in the RB may be the same regardless of numerology, for example, 12, but is not limited to this. A BWP may be composed of, for example, one or more consecutive RBs within a certain carrier bandwidth, but is not limited to this. One or more BWPs may be configured in one carrier for the UE 200, and at least one of the BWPs may be activated. Any frequency unit in the present disclosure may be interchangeable with another frequency unit.

[0235] Furthermore, resources in both the time domain and the frequency domain may be defined by one or more time / frequency units each consisting of a time unit and a frequency unit, such as, but not limited to, a resource element (RE) consisting of one symbol and one subcarrier, a resource element group (REG) consisting of a predetermined number of REs, or a control resource set (CORESET) consisting of a predetermined number of symbols and a predetermined number of RBs.

[0236] Furthermore, resources in the spatial domain may be defined, for example, by one or more spatial units, including, but not limited to, a beam, a layer of MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output), an antenna port, or a combination of at least two of these.

[0237] Furthermore, the resources in the code domain may be defined by one or more code units, such as, but not limited to, a cyclic shift (CS), an orthogonal cover code (OCC), or a combination thereof.

[0238] <Article> In this disclosure, where articles are added by translation, such as a, an, and the in English, the disclosure may include that the nouns following these articles are in the plural form.

[0239] <Means> The "means" in the configuration of each of the above devices may be replaced with "part," "circuit," "device," etc. [Industrial Applicability]
