Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to Terminal, communication method, base station, and wireless communication system Regarding. [Background technology]
[0002] For NR (New Radio) (also known as "5G"), the successor system to LTE (Long Term Evolution), technologies are being considered that satisfy the requirements of a large-capacity system, high-speed data transmission speed, low latency, simultaneous connection of a large number of terminals, low cost, low power consumption, etc. (e.g., Non-Patent Document 1).
[0003] In NR Release 17, the use of higher frequency bands than in previous releases (e.g., Non-Patent Document 2) is being considered. For example, in the frequency band from 52.6 GHz to 71 GHz, applicable numerology including subcarrier spacing and channel bandwidth, physical layer design, and expected interference in actual wireless communication are being considered. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]
[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] 3GPP TS 38.300 V16.4.0(2020-12) [Non-Patent Document 2] 3GPP TS 38.306 V16.3.0(2020-12) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In a newly operated frequency band using a higher frequency than before, in order to reduce the load required for monitoring the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), it is being considered to increase the monitoring period. On the other hand, in order to ensure flexibility in scheduling even when the PDCCH monitoring period is increased, it is being considered to support the scheduling of multiple PDSCHs (Physical Downlink Shared Channels) or multiple PUSCHs (Physical Uplink Shared Channels) by a single DCI (Downlink Control Information).
[0006] In addition, while repeated transmission of a single PUSCH is supported, repeated transmission of multiple PUSCHs scheduled by a single DCI is not currently supported. Here, a method is needed to simultaneously support both scheduling of multiple PUSCHs by a single DCI and scheduling of repeated transmission of a single PUSCH.
[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is capable of scheduling both transmission of multiple channels and repeated transmission of a single channel in a wireless communication system. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] According to the disclosed technology, a receiving unit that receives configuration information including a list of time resources (Time Domain Resource Allocation (TDRA)) used for transmitting an uplink data channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)) and downlink control information (Downlink Control Information (DCI)) including an index indicating at least one time resource included in the list; a control unit that determines resource allocation in the time domain of the uplink data channel based on the configuration information and the downlink control information; and a transmitting unit that transmits the uplink data channel, wherein the control unit does not apply repeated transmission to a plurality of the uplink data channels when the downlink control information schedules a plurality of the uplink data channels. is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiment described below is an example, and the embodiment to which the present invention is applied is not limited to the following embodiment.
[0012] In the operation of the wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention, existing technologies are used as appropriate. However, the existing technologies are, for example, existing LTE, but are not limited to existing LTE. In addition, the term "LTE" used in this specification has a broad meaning including LTE-Advanced and systems after LTE-Advanced (e.g., NR) unless otherwise specified.
[0013] In the embodiment of the present invention described below, terms such as SS (Synchronization signal), PSS (Primary SS), SSS (Secondary SS), PBCH (Physical broadcast channel), PRACH (Physical random access channel), PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel), PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel), and PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) used in existing LTE are used. This is for convenience of description, and similar signals, functions, etc. may be called by other names. In addition, the above-mentioned terms in NR correspond to NR-SS, NR-PSS, NR-SSS, NR-PBCH, NR-PRACH, etc. However, even if a signal is used in NR, it is not necessarily specified as "NR-".
[0014] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the duplexing method may be a time division duplex (TDD) method, a frequency division duplex (FDD) method, or another method (for example, flexible duplex, etc.).
[0015] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present invention, when radio parameters, etc. are "configured," this may mean that predetermined values are pre-configured, or that radio parameters notified from base station 10 or terminal 20 are configured.
[0016] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a base station 10 and a terminal 20. Although Fig. 1 shows one base station 10 and one terminal 20, this is an example, and there may be a plurality of each.
[0017] The base station 10 is a communication device that provides one or more cells and performs wireless communication with the terminal 20. The physical resources of a wireless signal are defined in a time domain and a frequency domain, and the time domain may be defined by the number of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols, and the frequency domain may be defined by the number of subcarriers or the number of resource blocks. The base station 10 transmits a synchronization signal and system information to the terminal 20. The synchronization signal is, for example, NR-PSS and NR-SSS. The system information is, for example, transmitted by NR-PBCH and is also called broadcast information. The synchronization signal and system information may be called SSB (SS / PBCH block). As shown in FIG. 1, the base station 10 transmits a control signal or data to the terminal 20 in DL (Downlink) and receives a control signal or data from the terminal 20 in UL (Uplink). Both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 can transmit and receive signals by performing beamforming. In addition, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 can apply communication by MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) to DL or UL. In addition, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 may communicate via a secondary cell (SCell: Secondary Cell) and a primary cell (PCell: Primary Cell) by CA (Carrier Aggregation). Furthermore, the terminal 20 may communicate via a primary cell of the base station 10 and a primary secondary cell group cell (PSCell: Primary SCG Cell) of another base station 10 by DC (Dual Connectivity).
[0018] The terminal 20 is a communication device equipped with a wireless communication function, such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet, a wearable terminal, a communication module for M2M (Machine-to-Machine), etc. As shown in Fig. 1, the terminal 20 receives control signals or data from the base station 10 in DL and transmits control signals or data to the base station 10 in UL, thereby utilizing various communication services provided by the wireless communication system. The terminal 20 also receives various reference signals transmitted from the base station 10, and performs measurement of the propagation path quality based on the reception results of the reference signals.
[0019] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a frequency range in an embodiment of the present invention. In the NR specifications of 3GPP Release 15 and Release 16, for example, operation of a frequency band of 52.6 GHz or more is being considered. As shown in FIG. 2, FR (Frequency range) 1, which is currently specified for operation, is a frequency band from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz, SCS (Sub carrier spacing) is 15, 30 or 60 kHz, and the bandwidth is from 5 MHz to 100 MHz. FR2 is a frequency band from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz, SCS uses 60, 120 or 240 kHz, and the bandwidth is from 50 MHz to 400 MHz. For example, the frequency band to be newly operated may be assumed to be from 52.6 GHz to 71 GHz. Furthermore, it may be assumed to support a frequency band exceeding 71 GHz.
[0020] In a newly operated frequency band using a higher frequency than before, in order to reduce the load required for monitoring the PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), it is being considered to increase the monitoring period. On the other hand, in order to ensure flexibility in scheduling even when the PDCCH monitoring period is increased, it is being considered to support the scheduling of multiple PDSCHs (Physical Downlink Shared Channels) or multiple PUSCHs (Physical Uplink Shared Channels) by a single DCI (Downlink Control Information).
[0021] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example (1) of a TDRA table. As shown in Fig. 3, in a TDRA (Time domain resource allocation) table used when scheduling a conventional PUSCH, a K2 value, a mapping type, and a SLIV (Start and Length Indicator) are defined for one row index. In general, scheduling is performed by notifying a terminal 20 of a row index of the TDRA table by a DCI. The K2 value indicates an offset from the DCI that performs scheduling to the PUSCH to be scheduled.
[0022] The mapping type is a type of method for specifying the symbol start position and symbol length in a slot, and type A and type B are specified. For example, type A may be such that the symbol start position of the PUSCH is the first symbol in a slot, and the symbol length of the PUSCH can be specified as 4 symbols to 14 symbols. That is, SLIV corresponding to S=0 and L={4,...,14} may be set. For example, type B may be such that the symbol start position of the PUSCH can be specified from the first symbol to the 13th symbol, and the symbol length of the PUSCH can be set as 1 symbol to 14 symbols. That is, SLIV corresponding to S={0,...,13} and L={1,...,14} may be set. Note that scheduling beyond a slot boundary may not be supported.
[0023] Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example (2) of a TDRA table. The TDRA table shown in Fig. 4 supports scheduling of PUSCH repetition. For example, repetition of DG (Dynamic Grant)-PUSCH may be scheduled by DCI format 0_1 or 0_2 using the TDRA table.
[0024] As types of PUSCH repetition, PUSCH repetition type A and PUSCH repetition type B are supported. As shown in FIG. 4, in the case of PUSCH repetition type A, a mapping type, SLIV, and K may be specified, and in the case of PUSCH repetition type B, S, L, and K may be specified. Note that K indicates the number of repetitions. Note that PUSCH repetition type A can be set to PUSCH mapping type A or PUSCH mapping type B. PUSCH repetition type B can be set to only PUSCH mapping type B.
[0025] If DG-PUSCH is scheduled according to DCI format 0_1, the PUSCH repetition type is determined by the higher layer parameter pusch-RepTypeIndicatorDCI-0-2. If DG-PUSCH is scheduled according to DCI format 0_2, the PUSCH repetition type is determined by the higher layer parameter pusch-RepTypeIndicatorDCI-0-2.
[0026] When DG-PUSCH is scheduled by DCI format 0_1 and when type 2 CG (Configured Grant)-PUSCH is scheduled, the TDRA table is determined based on the higher layer parameter pusch-TimeDomainAllocationListDCI-0-1 if the parameter is set. If the parameter is not set and pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList included in the higher layer parameter pusch-Config is set, the TDRA table is determined based on the parameter. If the parameter is not set and pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList included in the higher layer parameter pusch-ConfigCommon is set, the TDRA table is determined based on the parameter.
[0027] When DG-PUSCH is scheduled by DCI format 0_2 and when type 2 CG-PUSCH is scheduled, the TDRA table is determined based on the higher layer parameter pusch-TimeDomainAllocationListDCI-0-2 if the parameter is set. If the parameter is not set and pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList included in the higher layer parameter pusch-Config is set, the TDRA table is determined based on the parameter. If the parameter is not set and pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList included in the higher layer parameter pusch-ConfigCommon is set, the TDRA table is determined based on the parameter.
[0028] In addition, the TDRA table enhanced for URLLC shown in FIG.
[0029] The number of repetitions K in PUSCH repetition type B is determined by numberOfRepetitions in the TDRA table. The number of repetitions K in PUSCH repetition type A is determined by the parameter numberOfRepetitions if the parameter is present in the TDRA table, and is set by the parameter if numberOfRepetitions is not set in the TDRA table and pusch-AggregationFactor is set. If pusch-AggregationFactor is not set, K=1.
[0030] 5 is a flowchart for explaining a scheduling example (1). In step S11, the terminal 20 receives DCI from the base station 10. In the following step S12, the terminal 20 repeatedly transmits PUSCH to the base station 10 based on the DCI. The DCI may be the above-mentioned DCI format 0_1 or the above-mentioned DCI format 0_2, and further, the setting by the above-mentioned higher layer parameter may be applied to the PUSCH repeated transmission.
[0031] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example (3) of a TDRA table. With the TDRA table shown in Fig. 6, multiple PUSCHs may be scheduled with a single DCI format 0_1. As shown in Fig. 6, one row index can specify N SLIVs. The TDRA table is determined by pusch-TimeDomainAllocationList-ForMultiPUSCH. With this parameter, one row index of the TDRA table may be set with SLIVs from 1 to 8.
[0032] 7 is a flowchart for explaining a scheduling example (2). In step S21, the terminal 20 receives DCI from the base station 10. In the following step S22, the terminal 20 transmits a plurality of PUSCHs to the base station 10 based on the DCI. The DCI may be the above-mentioned DCI format 0_1.
[0033] When multiple PUSCHs are scheduled by a single DCI, PUSCH repeated transmission may not be supported, whereas when a single PUSCH is scheduled, PUSCH repeated transmission may be supported.
[0034] Here, if a TDRA table different from the URLLC table in Release 16 is used for scheduling multiple PUSCHs in the NR 52.6 GHz-71 GHz band in Release 17, it is necessary to consider how to support both scheduling of multiple PUSCHs and repeated transmission of a single PUSCH.
[0035] Therefore, as an option, whether a DCI format supporting scheduling of multiple PUSCHs can be used for single PUSCH repetition transmission may be configured by a new RRC parameter. For example, the RRC parameter may be Multi-PUSCH-And-Single-PUSCH-Repetition. Methods A), B) and C) shown below may be implemented.
[0036] A) Only one TDRA table may be associated with one DCI format. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a TDRA table in an embodiment of the present invention. A new TDRA table shown in Fig. 8 may be set in which the TDRA table for multiple PUSCH scheduling and the TDRA table for single PUSCH scheduling are integrated. That is, the number of repeated transmissions K may be included in the TDRA table shown in Fig. 6. For example, when the TDRA table shown in Fig. 8 is used, if multiple PUSCHs are scheduled, K may be set to 1, or K may be ignored.
[0037] Furthermore, when the RRC parameter Multi-PUSCH-And-Single-PUSCH-Repetition is enabled, K may be used as the number of times of single PUSCH repetition transmission only when only one SLIV is set for a row index. On the other hand, when the RRC parameter Multi-PUSCH-And-Single-PUSCH-Repetition is disabled, PUSCH repetition transmission may not be performed even when only one SLIV is set for a row index.
[0038] By defining a new TDRA table as described above, PUSCH repetition type A and PUSCH repetition type B for single PUSCH scheduling are possible with a single DCI format. Also, the number of times of repeat transmission of a single PUSCH can be flexibly notified.
[0039] B) The TDRA table shown in Fig. 6 may be used for single PUSCH repetition transmission. For example, when the RRC parameter Multi-PUSCH-And-Single-PUSCH-Repetition is enabled and the RRC parameter pusch-AggregationFactor is set, the pusch-AggregationFactor may be used as the number of single PUSCH repetition transmissions only when only one SLIV is set for the row index. On the other hand, when the RRC parameter Multi-PUSCH-And-Single-PUSCH-Repetition is disabled or the RRC parameter pusch-AggregationFactor is not set, PUSCH repetition transmission may not be performed even when only one SLIV is set for the row index.
[0040] By reusing the conventional TDRA table as described above, it is possible to schedule PUSCH repeat transmission without affecting the TDRA table specifications.
[0041] C) When the RRC parameter Multi-PUSCH-And-Single-PUSCH-Repetition is enabled, two TDRA tables may be configured for one DCI format. The two TDRA tables correspond to the scheduling of multiple PUSCH transmission and the scheduling of single PUSCH repetition transmission, respectively. For example, the TDRA table shown in FIG. 6 may be used for the scheduling of multiple PUSCH transmission, and the TDRA table shown in FIG. 4 may be used for the scheduling of single PUSCH repetition transmission. When the RRC parameter Multi-PUSCH-And-Single-PUSCH-Repetition is disabled, only one TDRA table may be configured for the DCI format.
[0042] When two TDRA tables are configured for the DCI format, whether or not to apply repeat transmission when a single PUSCH is scheduled may be determined based on which TDRA table is used and signaled. Which TDRA table is used may be explicitly signaled by a field included in the DCI format. When the TDRA table used is a TDRA table corresponding to scheduling of multiple PUSCHs, PUSCH repeat transmission may not be performed regardless of whether one or multiple SLIVs are signaled by the TDRA row index. On the other hand, when the TDRA table used is a TDRA table corresponding to single PUSCH scheduling, the same PUSCH repeat transmission rule as in the past may be applied.
[0043] By configuring two TDRA tables for one DCI format as described above, PUSCH repetition type A and PUSCH repetition type B are supported for a single PUSCH scheduled by the DCI format. In addition, the single PUSCH can be flexibly scheduled with or without repetition.
[0044] As another option, the DCI format supporting the scheduling of multiple PUSCH transmissions may not be used for the scheduling of repeated transmissions of a single PUSCH. The scheduling of multiple PUSCH transmissions and the scheduling of repeated transmissions of a single PUSCH may be performed by separate DCI formats, respectively, by RRC configuration.
[0045] For example, the scheduling of multiple PUSCH transmission may be configured by DCI format 0_1, and the scheduling of repeated transmission of a single PUSCH may be configured by DCI format 0_2. Also, for example, the scheduling of multiple PUSCH transmission may be configured by DCI format 0_2, and the scheduling of repeated transmission of a single PUSCH may be configured by DCI format 0_1.
[0046] Furthermore, a TDRA table for scheduling multiple PUSCH transmissions, for example as shown in FIG. 6, may be used for scheduling PUSCHs scheduled by DCI format 0_1 (or DCI format 0_2). Parameters related to PUSCH repetition type may not be configured in the DCI format. If multiple SLIVs are indicated by TDRA row index, multiple PUSCHs may be transmitted without repetition. Also, if one SLIV is indicated by TDRA row index, one PUSCH may be transmitted without repetition.
[0047] Also, for example, the TDRA table for scheduling a single PUSCH transmission shown in Fig. 3 or 4 may be used for scheduling a PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_2 (or DCI format 0_1). PUSCH repeated transmission may be performed in the same manner as in the conventional method.
[0048] As described above, by performing the scheduling of multiple PUSCH transmission and the scheduling of repeated transmission of a single PUSCH using separate DCI formats through RRC configuration, it is possible to minimize the impact on specifications.
[0049] 9 is a flowchart for explaining an example of scheduling in an embodiment of the present invention. In step S31, terminal 20 receives DCI from base station 10. In the following step S32, terminal 20 transmits multiple PUSCHs or repeatedly transmits a single PUSCH based on the DCI. Note that terminal 20 may transmit a single PUSCH without repetition.
[0050] Any of the options in the above-described embodiments may be applied to a predetermined frequency band, for example, NR52.6-71 GHz. Any of the options in the above-described embodiments may be applied to a predetermined SCS, for example, 120 kHz and / or 480 kHz and / or 960 kHz. Which of the options in the above-described embodiments is used may be set by higher layer parameters, may be reported as UE capabilities from the terminal 20, may be defined in a specification, or may be determined based on higher layer parameters and UE capabilities.
[0051] A UE capability indicating whether the terminal 20 supports the scheduling of multiple PUSCH transmissions and the scheduling of repeated transmissions of a single PUSCH may be defined. Also, a UE capability indicating whether the terminal 20 supports the scheduling of multiple PUSCH transmissions and the scheduling of repeated transmissions of a single PUSCH simultaneously in a single DCI format may be defined. For example, the single DCI format may be DCI format 0_1 and / or DCI format 0_2. Also, a UE capability indicating whether the terminal 20 supports the scheduling of multiple PUSCH transmissions and the scheduling of repeated transmissions of a single PUSCH in each DCI format may be defined.
[0052] According to the above-described embodiment, the base station 10 can efficiently schedule the transmission of multiple PUSCHs and the repeated transmission of a single PUSCH to the terminal 20.
[0053] That is, both multi-channel transmissions and repeated transmissions of a single channel can be scheduled in a wireless communication system.
[0054] (Device configuration) Next, a functional configuration example of the base station 10 and the terminal 20 that execute the processes and operations described above will be described. The base station 10 and the terminal 20 include functions for implementing the above-mentioned embodiments. However, the base station 10 and the terminal 20 may each include only a part of the functions in the embodiments.

The receiver 220 also has a function of receiving NR-PSS, NR-SSS, NR-PBCH, DL / UL / SL control signals, and the like transmitted from the base station 10. For example, the transmitter 210 transmits a PSCCH (Physical Sidelink Control Channel), a PSSCH (Physical Sidelink Shared Channel), a PSDCH (Physical Sidelink Discovery Channel), a PSBCH (Physical Sidelink Broadcast Channel), and the like to another terminal 20 as D2D communication, and the receiver 220 receives the PSCCH, the PSSCH, the PSDCH, or the PSBCH, and the like from the other terminal 20.
[0061] The setting unit 230 stores various setting information received from the base station 10 by the receiving unit 220. The setting unit 230 also stores setting information that is set in advance. The content of the setting information is, for example, information related to measurement settings.
[0062] The control unit 240 controls the measurement settings as described in the embodiment. The signal transmission-related functional unit in the control unit 240 may be included in the transmitting unit 210, and the signal reception-related functional unit in the control unit 240 may be included in the receiving unit 220.
[0063] (Hardware configuration) The block diagrams (FIGS. 10 and 11) used to explain the above embodiments show functional blocks. These functional blocks (components) are realized by any combination of at least one of hardware and software. Furthermore, the method of realizing each functional block is not particularly limited. That is, each functional block may be realized using one device that is physically or logically coupled, or may be realized using two or more devices that are physically or logically separated and directly or indirectly connected (e.g., using wires, wirelessly, etc.). The functional blocks may be realized by combining the one device or the multiple devices with software.

[0077] With the above configuration, base station 10 can efficiently schedule transmission of multiple PUSCHs and repeated transmission of a single PUSCH to terminal 20. That is, in a wireless communication system, both transmission of multiple channels and repeated transmission of a single channel can be scheduled.
[0078] The control unit may specify that the single PUSCH is to be repeatedly transmitted the number of times when the index indicates the number of repeated transmissions in the TDRA. With this configuration, the base station 10 can efficiently schedule the transmission of multiple PUSCHs and the repeated transmission of the single PUSCH to the terminal 20.
[0079] The receiving unit may receive another upper layer parameter from the base station, and the control unit may specify that the single PUSCH is to be repeatedly transmitted the number of times when the other upper layer parameter indicates the number of repeated transmissions. With this configuration, the base station 10 can efficiently schedule the transmission of multiple PUSCHs and the repeated transmission of the single PUSCH to the terminal 20.
[0080] The index may indicate either a first TDRA table or a second TDRA table, the first TDRA table corresponding to the scheduling of multiple PUSCH transmissions, and the second TDRA table corresponding to the scheduling of single PUSCH repeated transmissions. With this configuration, the base station 10 can efficiently schedule the transmission of multiple PUSCHs and the repeated transmission of a single PUSCH to the terminal 20.
[0081] The receiving unit may receive a first DCI or a second DCI, and the control unit may specify whether the schedule is for multiple PUSCH transmission or for single PUSCH repeated transmission based on whether the first DCI or the second DCI is received. With this configuration, the base station 10 can efficiently schedule the transmission of multiple PUSCHs and the repeated transmission of a single PUSCH to the terminal 20.
[0082] Also, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a communications method in which a terminal executes the following steps: a reception procedure of receiving, from a base station, Downlink Control Information (DCI) and upper layer parameters including an index indicating a row of a Time Domain Resource Allocation (TDRA) table; a control procedure of specifying positions in the time domain of one or more scheduled Physical Uplink Shared Channels (PUSCHs) based on the index and the upper layer parameters; a transmission procedure of transmitting the one or more PUSCHs to the base station; and a procedure of specifying that the single PUSCH is to be repeatedly transmitted if the upper layer parameters are set to be valid and the index indicates scheduling of a single PUSCH in the TDRA.
[0083] With the above configuration, base station 10 can efficiently schedule transmission of multiple PUSCHs and repeated transmission of a single PUSCH to terminal 20. That is, in a wireless communication system, both transmission of multiple channels and repeated transmission of a single channel can be scheduled.

The boundaries of functional units or processing units in the functional block diagram do not necessarily correspond to the boundaries of physical parts. The operations of multiple functional units may be physically performed by one part, or the operations of one functional unit may be physically performed by multiple parts. The order of the processing procedures described in the embodiment may be changed as long as there is no contradiction.

[0087] The steps, sequences, flow charts, etc. of each aspect / embodiment described herein may be reordered 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.
[0088] In this specification, a specific operation performed by the base station 10 may be performed by its upper node in some cases. In a network consisting of one or more network nodes having the base station 10, it is clear that various operations performed for communication with the terminal 20 may be performed by at least one of the base station 10 and other network nodes other than the base station 10 (e.g., MME or S-GW, etc., but are not limited to these). Although the above example illustrates a case where there is one other network node other than the base station 10, the other network node may be a combination of multiple other network nodes (e.g., MME and S-GW).
[0089] The information or signals described in the present disclosure may be output from a higher layer (or a lower layer) to a lower layer (or a higher layer), or may be input / output via multiple network nodes.
[0090] The input and output information may be stored in a specific location (e.g., memory) or may be managed using a management table. The input and output information may be overwritten, updated, or added to. The output information may be deleted. The input information may be transmitted to another device.
[0091] In the present disclosure, the determination may be made based on a value represented by one bit (0 or 1), a Boolean value (true or false), or a numerical comparison (e.g., comparison with a predetermined value).
[0092] Software shall be construed broadly to mean instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, programs, subprograms, software modules, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects, executable files, threads of execution, procedures, functions, etc., whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description language, or otherwise.
[0093] Additionally, software, instructions, information, etc. may be transmitted or received over a transmission medium. For example, if the software is transmitted from a website, server, or other remote source using wired and / or wireless technologies (such as coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)), and / or wireless technologies (such as infrared, microwave, etc.), then these wired and / or wireless technologies are included within the definition of transmission media.
[0094] The information, signals, etc. described in this disclosure may be represented using any of a variety of different technologies. For example, the data, instructions, commands, information, signals, bits, symbols, chips, etc. that may be referred to throughout the above description may be represented by voltages, currents, electromagnetic waves, magnetic fields or magnetic particles, optical fields or photons, or any combination thereof.
[0095] In addition, the terms described in this disclosure and the terms necessary for understanding this disclosure may be replaced with terms having the same or similar meanings. For example, at least one of a channel and a symbol may be a signal (signaling). Also, a signal may be a message. Also, a component carrier (CC) may be called a carrier frequency, a cell, a frequency carrier, etc.
[0096] As used in this disclosure, the terms "system" and "network" are used interchangeably.
[0097] In addition, the information, parameters, etc. described in the present disclosure may be represented using absolute values, may be represented using relative values from a predetermined value, or may be represented using other corresponding information. For example, a radio resource may be indicated by an index.
[0098] The names used for the above-mentioned parameters are not limiting in any way. Moreover, the formulas using these parameters may differ from those explicitly disclosed in this disclosure. The various channels (e.g., PUCCH, PDCCH, etc.) and information elements may be identified by any suitable names, and therefore the various names assigned to these various channels and information elements are not limiting in any way.
[0099] In the present disclosure, terms such as "base station (BS)", "wireless base station", "base station device", "fixed station", "NodeB", "eNodeB (eNB)", "gNodeB (gNB)", "access point", "transmission point", "reception point", "transmission / reception point", "cell", "sector", "cell group", "carrier", "component carrier", etc. may be used interchangeably. A base station may also be referred to by terms such as a macro cell, a small cell, a femto cell, a pico cell, etc.
[0100] A base station can accommodate one or more (e.g., three) cells. When a base station accommodates multiple cells, the entire coverage area of the base station can be divided into multiple smaller areas, and each smaller area can also be provided with communication services by a base station subsystem (e.g., a small indoor base station (RRH: Remote Radio Head). The term "cell" or "sector" refers to a part or the entire coverage area of a base station and / or a base station subsystem that provides communication services in this coverage.
[0101] In this disclosure, the terms "Mobile Station (MS)", "user terminal", "User Equipment (UE)", "terminal", etc. may be used interchangeably.
[0102] A mobile station may also be referred to by those skilled in the art as a subscriber station, mobile unit, subscriber unit, wireless unit, remote unit, mobile device, wireless device, wireless communication device, remote device, mobile subscriber station, access terminal, mobile terminal, wireless terminal, remote terminal, handset, user agent, mobile client, client, or some other suitable terminology.
[0103] At least one of the base station and the mobile station may be called a transmitting device, a receiving device, a communication device, etc. At least one of the base station and the mobile station may be a device mounted on a moving body, the moving body itself, etc. The moving body may be a vehicle (e.g., a car, an airplane, etc.), an unmanned moving body (e.g., a drone, an autonomous vehicle, etc.), or a robot (manned or unmanned). At least one of the base station and the mobile station may include a device that does not necessarily move during communication operation. For example, at least one of the base station and the mobile station may be an IoT (Internet of Things) device such as a sensor.
[0104] Furthermore, the base station in the present disclosure may be read as a user terminal. For example, each aspect / embodiment of the present disclosure may be applied to a configuration in which communication between a base station and a user terminal is replaced with communication between a plurality of terminals 20 (which may be called, for example, D2D (Device-to-Device) or V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything)). In this case, the terminal 20 may be configured to have the functions of the base station 10 described above. Furthermore, terms such as "uplink" and "downlink" may be read as terms corresponding to terminal-to-terminal communication (for example, "side"). For example, an uplink channel, a downlink channel, etc. may be read as a side channel.
[0105] Similarly, a user terminal in the present disclosure may be read as a base station. In this case, the base station may be configured to have the functions of the above-mentioned user terminal.
[0106] As used in this disclosure, the terms "determining" and "determining" may encompass a wide variety of actions. "Determining" and "determining" may include, for example, judging, calculating, computing, processing, deriving, investigating, looking up, search, inquiry (e.g., searching in a table, database, or other data structure), ascertaining, and the like. "Determining" and "determining" may also include receiving (e.g., receiving information), transmitting (e.g., sending information), input, output, accessing (e.g., accessing data in a memory), and the like. In addition, "judgment" and "decision" can include considering resolving, selecting, choosing, establishing, comparing, etc., to be a "judgment" or "decision." In other words, "judgment" and "decision" can include considering some action to be a "judgment" or "decision." In addition, "judgment" can be interpreted as "assuming," "expecting," "considering," etc.
[0107] The terms "connected," "coupled," or any variation thereof, refer to any direct or indirect connection or coupling between two or more elements, and may include the presence of one or more intermediate elements between two elements that are "connected" or "coupled" to each other. The coupling or connection between elements may be physical, logical, or a combination thereof. For example, "connected" may be read as "access." As used in this disclosure, two elements may be considered to be "connected" or "coupled" to each other using at least one of one or more wires, cables, and printed electrical connections, as well as electromagnetic energy having wavelengths in the radio frequency range, microwave range, and optical (both visible and invisible) range, as some non-limiting and non-exhaustive examples.
[0108] The reference signal may be abbreviated as RS (Reference Signal) and may be called a pilot depending on the applicable standard.
[0109] As used in this disclosure, the phrase "based on" does not mean "based only on," unless expressly stated otherwise. In other words, the phrase "based on" means both "based only on" and "based at least on."
[0110] Any reference to an element using a designation such as "first," "second," etc., used in this disclosure 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 precede the second element in some way.
[0111] The "means" in the configuration of each of the above devices may be replaced with "part," "circuit," "device," etc.
[0112] When the terms "include," "including," and variations thereof are used in this disclosure, these terms are intended to be inclusive, similar to the term "comprising." Further, when used in this disclosure, the term "or" is not intended to be an exclusive or.
[0113] A radio frame may be composed of one or more frames in the time domain. Each of the one or more frames in the time domain may be called a subframe. A subframe may further be composed of one or more slots in the time domain. A subframe may have a fixed time length (e.g., 1 ms) that is independent of numerology.
[0114] The numerology may be communication parameters that apply to the transmission and / or reception of a signal or channel, such as, for example, at least one of a subcarrier spacing (SCS), a bandwidth, a symbol length, a cyclic prefix length, a transmission time interval (TTI), a number of symbols per TTI, a radio frame structure, a particular filtering operation that the transceiver performs in the frequency domain, a particular windowing operation that the transceiver performs in the time domain, etc.
[0115] A slot may be composed of one or more symbols (such as an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, a Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbol, etc.) in the time domain. A slot may be a time unit based on numerology.
[0116] A slot may include multiple minislots. Each minislot may be composed of one or multiple symbols in the time domain. A minislot may also be called a subslot. A minislot may be composed of fewer symbols than a slot. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted in a time unit larger than a minislot may be called PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type A. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using a minislot may be called PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type B.
[0117] A radio frame, a subframe, a slot, a minislot, and a symbol each represent a time unit for transmitting a signal. The radio frame, the subframe, the slot, the minislot, and the symbol may each be referred to by a different name.
[0118] For example, one subframe may be called a transmission time interval (TTI), multiple consecutive subframes may be called a TTI, or one slot or one minislot may be called a TTI. That is, at least one of the subframe and the TTI may be a subframe (1 ms) in the existing LTE, a period shorter than 1 ms (for example, 1-13 symbols), or a period longer than 1 ms. Note that the unit expressing the TTI may be called a slot, a minislot, or the like, instead of a subframe.
[0119] Here, TTI refers to, for example, the minimum time unit for scheduling in wireless communication. For example, in an LTE system, a base station performs scheduling to allocate wireless resources (such as frequency bandwidth and transmission power that can be used by each terminal 20) to each terminal 20 in TTI units. Note that the definition of TTI is not limited to this.
[0120] The TTI may be a transmission time unit for a channel-encoded data packet (transport block), a code block, a code word, etc., or may be a processing unit for scheduling, link adaptation, etc. When a TTI is given, the time interval (e.g., the number of symbols) in which a transport block, a code block, a code word, etc. are actually mapped may be shorter than the TTI.
[0121] In addition, when one slot or one minislot is called TTI, one or more TTIs (i.e., one or more slots or one or more minislots) may be the minimum time unit of scheduling. Also, the number of slots (minislots) constituting the minimum time unit of scheduling may be controlled.
[0122] A TTI having a time length of 1 ms may be called a normal TTI (TTI in LTE Rel. 8-12), a normal TTI, a long TTI, a normal subframe, a normal subframe, a long subframe, a slot, etc. A TTI shorter than a normal TTI may be called a shortened TTI, a short TTI, a partial or fractional TTI, a shortened subframe, a short subframe, a minislot, a subslot, a slot, etc.
[0123] In addition, a long TTI (e.g., a normal TTI, a subframe, etc.) may be interpreted as a TTI having a time length exceeding 1 ms, and a short TTI (e.g., a shortened TTI, etc.) may be interpreted as a TTI having a TTI length shorter than the TTI length of a long TTI and equal to or greater than 1 ms.
[0124] A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in the time domain and the frequency domain, and may include one or more consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. The number of subcarriers included in an RB may be the same regardless of the numerology, for example, 12. The number of subcarriers included in an RB may be determined based on the numerology.
[0125] In addition, the time domain of the RB may include one or more symbols and may be one slot, one minislot, one subframe, or one TTI in length. Each of one TTI, one subframe, etc. may be composed of one or more resource blocks.
[0126] Note that one or more RBs may be called a physical resource block (PRB), a sub-carrier group (SCG), a resource element group (REG), a PRB pair, an RB pair, or the like.
[0127] Furthermore, a resource block may be composed of one or more resource elements (REs). For example, one RE may be a radio resource region of one subcarrier and one symbol.
[0128] A Bandwidth Part (BWP), which may also be referred to as a fractional bandwidth, may represent a subset of contiguous common resource blocks (RBs) for a numerology on a carrier, where the common RBs may be identified by an index of the RBs relative to a common reference point of the carrier. PRBs may be defined in a BWP and numbered within the BWP.
[0129] The BWP may include a BWP for UL (UL BWP) and a BWP for DL (DL BWP). One or more BWPs may be configured for a UE within one carrier.
[0130] At least one of the configured BWPs may be active, and the UE may not expect to transmit or receive a given signal / channel outside the active BWP. Note that the terms "cell", "carrier", etc. in this disclosure may be replaced with "BWP".
[0131] The above-mentioned structures of radio frames, subframes, slots, minislots, symbols, etc. are merely examples. For example, the number of subframes included in a radio frame, the number of slots per subframe or radio frame, the number of minislots included in a slot, the number of symbols and RBs included in a slot or minislot, the number of subcarriers included in an RB, the number of symbols in a TTI, the symbol length, the cyclic prefix (CP) length, etc. may be changed in various ways.
[0132] In this disclosure, where articles have been added due to translation, such as a, an, and the in English, the disclosure may include that the nouns following these articles are in the plural form.
[0133] In the present disclosure, the term "A and B are different" may mean "A and B are different from each other." The term may also mean "A and B are each different from C." Terms such as "separate" and "coupled" may also be interpreted in the same way as "different."
[0134] Each aspect / embodiment described in this disclosure may be used alone, in combination, or switched according to execution. In addition, notification of specific information (e.g., notification that "X is the case") is not limited to being done explicitly, but may be done implicitly (e.g., not notifying the specific information).
[0135] In addition, the Multi-PUSCH-And-Single-PUSCH-Repetition in the present disclosure is an example of a higher layer parameter, and the pusch-AggregationFactor is an example of another higher layer parameter.
[0136] Although the present disclosure has been described in detail above, it is clear to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described in the present disclosure. The present disclosure can be implemented in modified and altered forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the claims. Therefore, the description of the present disclosure is intended to be illustrative and does not have any limiting meaning on the present disclosure. [Explanation of symbols]
