Description

Terminal, wireless communication method and base station

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

[0002] Long Term Evolution (LTE) has been specified for the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network with the aim of achieving higher data rates and lower latency (Non-Patent Document 1). Also, LTE-Advanced (3GPP Rel. 10-14) has been specified with the aim of achieving higher capacity and more advanced features than LTE (Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP (registered trademark)) Release (Rel.) 8, 9).

[0003] Successor systems to LTE (e.g., 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G+ (plus), 6th generation mobile communication system (6G), New Radio (NR), 3GPP Rel. 15 or later, etc.) are also being considered.

[0004] 3GPP TS 36.300 V8.12.0 “Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) and Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN); Overall description; Stage 2 (Release 8)”, April 2010

[0005] In future wireless communication systems (e.g., NR), it is being considered that terminals (User Equipment (UE)) will control transmission and reception processing based on information regarding quasi-co-location (Quasi-Co-Location (QCL), Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state, beam).

[0006] However, if a large number of periodic / semi-persistent channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs) are configured to manage a large number of beams, resource utilization efficiency may be reduced, which may result in reduced throughput, etc.

[0007] Therefore, one of the objects of the present disclosure is to provide a terminal, a wireless communication method, and a base station that efficiently utilize CSI-RS resources.

[0008] A terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a receiver that receives an extended codebook configuration based on an extended type-2 codebook for channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) using more than 32 ports and a rank higher than 4, and a controller that controls reporting of a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) based on the extended codebook based on the configuration.

[0009] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, CSI-RS resources can be utilized efficiently.

[0011] (TCI, spatial relationship, QCL) In NR, it is considered to control the reception processing (e.g., at least one of reception, demapping, demodulation, and decoding) and transmission processing (e.g., at least one of transmission, mapping, precoding, modulation, and encoding) in a UE of at least one of a signal and a channel (referred to as a signal / channel) based on a transmission configuration indication state (TCI state).

[0012] The TCI state may represent that which is applied to a downlink signal / channel, and the equivalent of the TCI state that is applied to an uplink signal / channel may be expressed as a spatial relation.

[0013] The TCI state is information about the Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) of signals / channels, and may also be called spatial reception parameters, spatial relation information, etc. The TCI state may be configured in the UE for each channel or signal.

[0014] The QCL is an index indicating the statistical properties of signals / channels. For example, if a signal / channel has a QCL relationship with another signal / channel, it may mean that it can be assumed that at least one of the following parameters is the same between these different signals / channels (i.e., the QCL is true for at least one of the following parameters): Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, and spatial parameter (e.g., spatial Rx parameter).

[0015] The spatial reception parameters may correspond to a reception beam (e.g., a reception analog beam) of the UE, and the beam may be identified based on a spatial QCL. The QCL (or at least one element of the QCL) in the present disclosure may be replaced with sQCL (spatial QCL).

[0016] A plurality of types of QCLs (QCL types) may be defined. For example, four QCL types A to D may be provided, each having different parameters (or parameter sets) that can be assumed to be the same.

[0017] The UE's assumption that a Control Resource Set (CORESET), channel, or reference signal has a specific QCL (e.g., QCL type D) relationship with another CORESET, channel, or reference signal may be referred to as a QCL assumption.

[0018] The UE may determine at least one of a transmit beam (Tx beam) and a receive beam (Rx beam) for a signal / channel based on the TCI condition or QCL assumption of the signal / channel.

[0019] The TCI state may be, for example, information about the QCL between the channel of interest (in other words, the Reference Signal (RS) for that channel) and another signal (e.g., another RS). The TCI state may be set (indicated) by higher layer signaling, physical layer signaling, or a combination thereof.

[0020] The physical layer signaling may be, for example, Downlink Control Information (DCI).

[0021] The channel for which the TCI state or spatial relationship is set (specified) may be, for example, at least one of a downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)), a downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH)), an uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)), and an uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)).

[0022] Furthermore, the RS that has a QCL relationship with the channel may be, for example, at least one of a synchronization signal block (SSB), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a sounding reference signal (SRS), a tracking CSI-RS (also called a tracking reference signal (TRS)), and a QCL detection reference signal (also called a QRS).

[0023] An SSB is a signal block including at least one of a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), and a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH). An SSB may also be referred to as an SS / PBCH block.

[0024] An RS of QCL type X in a TCI state may refer to an RS that has a QCL type X relationship with a certain channel / signal (DMRS), and this RS may be called a QCL source of QCL type X in the TCI state.

[0025] In the present disclosure, the terms TCI state, indicated TCI state, unified TCI state, TCI state applied to channels / signals configured to follow the unified TCI state, TCI state applied to a UE-specific PDSCH and a CORESET / PDCCH associated with a USS, and TCI state applied to a PUCCH and a PUSCH may be interpreted interchangeably.

[0026] (CSI Report or Reporting) In Rel. 15 NR, a terminal (also referred to as a user terminal, User Equipment (UE), etc.) generates (also referred to as determining, calculating, estimating, measuring, etc.) channel state information (CSI) based on a reference signal (RS) (or a resource for the RS), and transmits (also referred to as reporting, feedback, etc.) the generated CSI to a network (e.g., a base station). The CSI may be transmitted to the base station, for example, using an uplink control channel (e.g., a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)) or an uplink shared channel (e.g., a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)).

[0027] The RS used to generate the CSI may be, for example, at least one of a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), a Synchronization Signal / Physical Broadcast Channel (SS / PBCH) block, a Synchronization Signal (SS), a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS), etc.

[0028] The CSI-RS may include at least one of a non-zero power (NZP) CSI-RS and a CSI-Interference Management (CSI-Interference Measurement, CSI-IM). The SS / PBCH block is a block including an SS and a PBCH (and corresponding DMRS), and may be referred to as an SS block (SSB). The SS may include at least one of a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS).

[0029] The CSI may include at least one of a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), a CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI), a SS / PBCH Block Resource Indicator (SSBRI), a Layer Indicator (LI), a Rank Indicator (RI), L1-RSRP (Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power), L1-RSRQ (Reference Signal Received Quality), L1-SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio), L1-SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), and the like.

[0030] The UE may receive information about CSI reporting (report configuration information) and control CSI reporting based on the report configuration information. The report configuration information may be, for example, a "CSI-ReportConfig" information element (IE) of Radio Resource Control (RRC).

[0031] The reporting configuration information (e.g., "CSI-ReportConfig" of the RRC IE) may include, for example, at least one of the following: - Information on the type of CSI report (report type information, e.g., "reportConfigType" of the RRC IE) - Information on one or more quantities of CSI to be reported (one or more CSI parameters) (report quantity information, e.g., "reportQuantity" of the RRC IE) - Information on RS resources used to generate the quantities (the CSI parameters) (resource information, e.g., "CSI-ResourceConfigId" of the RRC IE) - Information on the frequency domain targeted for CSI reporting (frequency domain information, e.g., "reportFreqConfiguration" of the RRC IE)

[0032] For example, the report type information may indicate a periodic CSI (P-CSI) report, an aperiodic CSI (A-CSI) report, or a semi-persistent CSI (SP-CSI) report.

[0033] Furthermore, the reporting amount information may specify a combination of at least one of the above CSI parameters (for example, CRI, RI, PMI, CQI, LI, L1-RSRP, etc.).

[0034] The resource information may also be an ID of a resource for the RS. The resource for the RS may include, for example, a non-zero-power CSI-RS resource or an SSB, and a CSI-IM resource (for example, a zero-power CSI-RS resource).

[0035] The frequency domain information may also indicate frequency granularity of the CSI report. The frequency granularity may include, for example, a wideband and a subband. The wideband is the entire CSI reporting band. The wideband may be, for example, the entirety of a certain carrier (a component carrier (CC)), a cell, or a serving cell) or the entirety of a bandwidth part (BWP) within a certain carrier. The wideband may also be referred to as the CSI reporting band, the entire CSI reporting band, etc.

[0036] Furthermore, a subband is a part of a wideband and may be configured with one or more resource blocks (RBs or PRBs). The size of the subband may be determined according to the size of the BWP (the number of PRBs).

[0037] The frequency domain information may indicate whether wideband or subband PMI is to be reported (the frequency domain information may include, for example, an RRC IE "pmi-FormatIndicator" used to determine whether wideband PMI reporting or subband PMI reporting is to be performed). The UE may determine the frequency granularity of CSI reporting (i.e., whether wideband PMI reporting or subband PMI reporting is to be performed) based on at least one of the reporting amount information and the frequency domain information.

[0038] When wideband PMI reporting is configured, one wideband PMI may be reported for the entire CSI reporting band, whereas when subband PMI reporting is configured, a single wideband indication i1 may be reported for the entire CSI reporting band, and one subband indication i2 (e.g., a subband indication for each subband) may be reported for each of one or more subbands within the entire CSI reporting band.

[0039] The UE performs channel estimation using the received RS to estimate a channel matrix H. The UE feeds back a PMI determined based on the estimated channel matrix.

[0040] The PMI may indicate a precoder matrix (also simply referred to as a precoder) that the UE considers appropriate for use in downlink (DL) transmissions to the UE. Each value of the PMI may correspond to one precoder matrix. A set of PMI values ​​may correspond to a set of different precoder matrices, called a precoder codebook (also simply referred to as a codebook).

[0041] In the space domain, a CSI report may include one or more types of CSI. For example, the CSI may include at least one of a first type (Type 1 CSI) used for single-beam selection and a second type (Type 2 CSI) used for multi-beam selection. The single beam may be rephrased as a single layer, and the multi-beam may be rephrased as multiple beams. Furthermore, Type 1 CSI does not assume multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO), while Type 2 CSI may assume multi-user MIMO.

[0042] The codebook may include a codebook for Type-1 CSI (also referred to as a Type-1 codebook, etc.) and a codebook for Type-2 CSI (also referred to as a Type-2 codebook, etc.). Furthermore, Type-1 CSI may include Type-1 single-panel CSI and Type-1 multi-panel CSI, and different codebooks (Type-1 single-panel codebook, Type-1 multi-panel codebook) may be defined for each.

[0043] In the present disclosure, Type 1 and Type I may be interpreted as interchangeable. In the present disclosure, Type 2 and Type II may be interpreted as interchangeable.

[0044] The uplink control information (UCI) type may include at least one of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK), a scheduling request (SR), and CSI. The UCI may be carried by the PUCCH or the PUSCH.

[0045] In Rel. 15 NR, UCI may contain one CSI part for wideband PMI feedback. CSI report #n contains PMI wideband information if reported.

[0046] In Rel. 15 NR, UCI can include two CSI parts for subband PMI feedback. CSI Part 1 includes wideband PMI information. CSI Part 2 includes one wideband PMI and several subband PMIs. CSI Part 1 and CSI Part 2 are coded separately.

[0047] In Rel. 15 NR, a UE is configured by higher layers with N (N≧1) CSI reporting configuration report settings and M (M≧1) CSI resource configuration resource settings. For example, the CSI reporting configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) includes a channel measurement resource setting (resourcesForChannelMeasurement), a CSI-IM resource setting for interference (csi-IM-ResourceForInterference), an NZP-CSI-RS resource setting for interference (nzp-CSI-RS-ResourceForInterference), and a report quantity (reportQuantity). The channel measurement resource setting, the interference CSI-IM resource setting, and the interference NZP-CSI-RS resource setting are each associated with a CSI resource configuration (CSI-ResourceConfig, CSI-ResourceConfigId). The CSI resource configuration includes a list of CSI-RS resource sets (csi-RS-ResourceSetList, for example, an NZP-CSI-RS resource set or a CSI-IM resource set).

[0048] For both FR1 and FR2, evaluation and provision of CSI reporting for DL ​​multi-TRP and / or multi-panel transmissions is under consideration to enable more dynamic channel / interference hypotheses for NCJT.

[0049] (Codebook Configuration) The UE is configured with parameters (codebook configuration (CodebookConfig)) related to the codebook (CB) by higher layer signaling (RRC signaling). The codebook configuration is included in the CSI report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) of the higher layer (RRC) parameters.

[0050] In the codebook setting, at least one codebook is selected from a plurality of codebooks including type 1 single panel (type I-Single Panel), type 1 multi-panel (type I-Multi Panel), type 2 (type II), and type 2 port selection (type II-Port Selection).

[0051] The codebook parameters include a parameter related to the codebook subset restriction (CBSR) ("...Restriction" in CodebookConfig). The CBSR setting is a bit that indicates which PMI reports are allowed ('1') and which are not allowed ('0') for the precoder associated with the CBSR bit. One bit in the CBSR bitmap corresponds to one codebook index / antenna port.

[0052] (CSI Reporting Configuration) The CSI reporting configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) of Rel. 16 includes, in addition to the codebook configuration (CodebookConfig), CSI-RS resources for channel measurement (resourcesForChannelMeasurement (CMR)), CSI-RS resources for interference measurement (csi-IM-ResourcesForInterference (ZP-IMR), nzp-CSI-RS-ResourcesForInterference (NZP-IMR)), etc. Of the parameters of CSI-ReportConfig, parameters excluding codebookConfig-r16 are also included in the CSI reporting configuration of Rel. 15.

[0053] Rel. 17 considers an extended CSI reporting configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) for CSI measurement / reporting of multi-TRP using NCJT. In this CSI reporting configuration, two CMR groups corresponding to two TRPs are configured. CMRs in a CMR group may be used for at least one of multi-TRP and single-TRP measurements using NCJT. N CMR pairs of NCJT are configured by RRC signaling. The UE may be configured by RRC signaling whether to use a CMR of a CMR pair for single-TRP measurements.

[0054] For CSI reporting related to multi-TRP / panel NCJT measurements configured by a single CSI reporting configuration, it is considered that at least one of the following options 1 and 2 will be supported.

[0055] <Option 1> The UE is configured to report X (X=0, 1, 2) CSIs related to single-TRP measurement hypotheses / hypotheses and one CSI related to NCJT measurements. If X=2, the two CSIs are related to two different single-TRP measurements using CMRs from different CMR groups.

[0056] <Option 2> The UE may be configured to report one CSI associated with the best measurement result among the measurement hypotheses for NCJT and single TRP.

[0057] As described above, in Rel. 15 / 16, the CBSR is configured per codebook configuration per CSI reporting configuration, i.e., the CBSR applies to all CMRs, etc. within the corresponding CSI reporting configuration.

[0058] However, in the CSI reporting configuration for Rel. 17 multi-TRP, when the above-mentioned options 1 and 2 are applied, the following measurement configurations may be performed: Option 1 (X = 0): Measurement of NCJT CSI only. Option 1 (X = 1): Measurement of NCJT CSI and CSI of a single TRP (one TRP). Option 1 (X = 2): Measurement of NCJT CSI and CSI of a single TRP (two TRPs). Option 2: Measurement of both NCJT CSI and CSI of a single TRP.

[0059] The multiple subbands for a given CSI report #n as indicated by the upper layer parameter csi-ReportingBand may be numbered consecutively in ascending order, with the lowest subband of csi-ReportingBand as subband 0.

[0060] (PMI / Type 1 Codebook) Type 1 (type I) codebook (Rel. 15) specifies a type 1 single panel codebook and a type 1 multi-panel codebook for base station panels. In the type 1 single panel, the antenna model (antenna setting) of the CSI antenna port array (logical setting) is specified for (N1, N2). The number of CSI-RS antenna ports P CSI-RS In Type 1 multi-panel, the number of CSI-RS antenna ports P CSI-RS and (N g , N1, N2), an antenna model of the CSI antenna port array (logical configuration) is specified.

[0061] In the present disclosure, the terms Type 1 codebook, Type 1 single-panel codebook, and Type 1 multi-panel codebook may be interpreted interchangeably.

[0062] - Type 1 Single Panel Codebook: For Rel. 15 Type 1 Single Panel CSI, the UE sets the codebook type upper layer parameter (subType in type1 in codebookType in CodebookConfig) to Type 1 Single Panel ('typeI-SinglePanel'). If the number of layers v is not {2,3,4}, the PMI value is calculated based on the three codebook indices i 1,1 ,i 1,2 , i2. When the number of layers v∈{2,3,4}, the PMI values ​​correspond to the four codebook indices i 1,1 ,i 1,2 ,i 1,3 , i2. If the number of layers v is not {2,3,4}, then the composite codebook index i1 = [i 1,1 i 1,2 ]. When the number of layers v∈{2,3,4}, the composite codebook index i1=[i 1,1 i 1,2 i 1,3 ].

[0063] P CSI-RS The supported (N1,N2) and (O1,O2) settings (combinations of values) are defined in the specification. (N1,N2) indicate the number of two-dimensional (2D) antenna elements and are set by the upper layer parameters n1-n2 in moreThanTwo in nrOfAntennaPorts in typeI-SinglePanel. n1-n2 are bitmap parameters with N1O1N2O2 bits. (O1,O2) are the 2D oversampling factors.

[0064] The precoding matrix for v=1 is W l,m,n (v) The precoding matrix for v=2 is W l,l',m,m',n (v) It is expressed as P CSI-RS The precoding matrix for <16 and v=3,4 is W l,l',m,m',n (v) It is expressed as P CSI-RS The precoding matrix for ≥ 16 and v = 3, 4 is Wl,m,p,n (v) The precoding matrix for v=5,6 is W l,l',l'',m,m',m'',n (v) The precoding matrix for v=7,8 is Wl,l',l'',l''',m,m',m'',m''',n (v) l,l',l'',l''' are expressed as 1,1 and k1. m, m', m'', and m''' are determined by i 1,2 and k2. n is determined by i2. p is determined by P CSI-RS Of the (≧16) ports, the first half of the ports are 0 and the second half of the ports are 1.

[0065] The precoding matrix W can be expressed as the product of two matrices, W1W2, where W1 represents the wideband and long-term channel properties and the codebook index i1 (e.g., i 1,1 and i 1,2 ) where W2 indicates frequency selectivity (subband) and short-term channel characteristics and is represented by the codebook index i2. W1 may be given by the following equation using matrix B:

[0066] B shows L 2D DFT beams, each oversampled by (O1, O2).

[0067] φ for the precoding matrix n , θ p , u m , v l,m , v ~ l,m is given by the following equation:

[0068] The codebook for 1-layer CSI reporting and codebookMode=1 is index i corresponding to the horizontal component of the beam. 1,1 = l=0,1,...,N1O1-1 and the index i corresponding to the vertical component of the beam 1,2= m = 0, 1, ..., N2O2-1 and indices i2 = n = 0, 1, 2, 3 corresponding to the subbands. Antenna ports 3000 to 2999+P CSI-RS Precoding matrix W for one-layer CSI reporting with l,m,n (1) is given by the following equation:

[0069] where [i 1,1 ,i 1,2 ,i2]=[l,m,n]. l,m is an N1-by-N2 DFT vector (spatial domain (SD) vector, 2D-DFT vector, SD DFT vector, SD basis vector, SD beam), expressed as exp(j2πln1 / O1N1)×exp(j2πmn2 / O2N2), n1=0,1,...,N1-1, n2=0,1,...,N2-1, and specified by v, l. l,m indicates one beam. The phase difference (co-phasing, phase compensation between polarizations) φ between two polarizations (first polarization and second polarization, horizontal polarization and vertical polarization) n θ = exp(jπn / 2), which indicates the difference in phase of the second polarization relative to the phase of the first polarization. p indicates the phase of the second half port relative to the phase of the first half port.

[0070] - Type 1 multi-panel codebook: For Rel. 15 Type 1 multi-panel CSI, the UE sets the codebook type upper layer parameter (subType in type1 in codebookType in CodebookConfig) to Type 1 multi-panel ('typeI-MultiPanel'). For Rel. 15 Type 1 multi-panel CSI, compared to Type 1 single-panel codebook, the number of panels N in addition to N1 and N2 is increased. gCompared with the Type 1 single-panel codebook, the (wideband) inter-panel co-phasing (phase compensation between panels) is set as i, 1,4 The same SD beam (DFT vector v l,m , SD basis indices l,m) are selected and only the inter-panel phase differences are added and reported.

[0071] P CSI-RS Supported (N g The settings (combination of values) of (N1,N2) and (O1,O2) are defined in the specification. (N1,N2) are set by ng-n1-n2 in typeI-MultiPanel. i 1,1 =l={0,1,...,N1O1-1} is the horizontal component of the oversampled SD basis. 1,2 =m={0,1,...,N2O2-1} is the vertical component of the oversampled SD basis. q=1,...,N g i to -1 1,4,q =p={0,1,2,3} is the number of panels. i2=n={0,1,2,3} is the number of beams per panel.

[0072] The antenna configuration parameters for the Type 1 multi-panel codebook are ng-n1-n2 (N g , N1, N2). In the existing specifications, ranks up to 4 are supported, and ranks 5 and above are not supported.

[0073] Each PMI value corresponds to a codebook index i1, i2. v is the RI value (number of layers). For v=1, i1=[i 1,1 i 1,2 i 1,4 ]. For v∈{2,3,4}, i1=[i 1,1 i 1,2 i 1,3 i 1,4 ].

[0074] When the codebook mode is set to 1, Ng = 2, i 1,4 =i 1,4,1 N g = 4, i 1,4 =[i 1,4,1 i 1,4,2 i 1,4,3 ]. When the codebook mode is set to 2, i 1,4 =[i 1,4,1 i 1,4,2 ]. i 1,4 is the number of panels N g and codebook mode. N g Codebook mode 2 is supported only for [i 1,4,1 i 1,4,2 ] correspond to two polarizations, respectively. Each of the two values ​​represents the wideband phase difference of the second panel (Panel 1) relative to the first panel (Panel 0) in the corresponding polarization. N g = 2 and i in codebook mode 1 1,4 Only one value is reported, which represents the wideband retardation of the second panel (Panel 1) relative to the first panel (Panel 0).

[0075] When the codebook mode is set to 2, i2 = [i 2,0 i 2,1 i 2,2 ]. The number and value of i2 are related to the codebook mode and may be different from the Type 1 single panel codebook. If subband reporting is configured, i2 is the index for the subband. If wideband reporting is configured, i2 is the index for the wideband. In codebook mode 1, the number and value of i2 are the same as in the Type 1 single panel codebook, and i2 has one value for each subband. In codebook mode 2 (N g =2), the phase difference between the subbands has three values, representing the phase difference between the polarizations and between the panels.

[0076] Codebook mode 2 has a larger feedback overhead because it reports more phase differences for more accurate CSI. g Only supported for =2.

[0077] The Type-1 multi-panel codebook is based on the Type-1 single-panel codebook. In the Type-1 multi-panel codebook, the codebook for the first panel (Panel 0) follows the Type-1 single-panel codebook. The codebooks for the other panels apply the same precoder, with additional phase differences between the panels.

[0078] φ for the precoding matrix n , a p , b p , u m , v l,m is given by the following equation:

[0079] Antenna ports 3000 to 2999+P CSI-RS The precoding matrix for v-layer CSI reporting using (v) The number of panels in the i-th layer is N. g , the precoding matrix for codebook mode X is W l,m,p,n i,N_g,X It is expressed by [i 1,1 ,i 1,2 ,i 1,4 ,i2]=[l,m,p,n].

[0080] Codebook modes 1 and N g = {2, 4}, the precoding matrix W for 1-layer CSI reporting l,m,p,n (1) is W l,m,p,n 1,N_g,1 The codebook modes 1 and N are represented by g = {2,4}, the precoding matrix W for 2-layer CSI reporting l,l',m,m',p,n (2) is (1 / sqrt(2))[W l,m,p,n (1,N_g,1) W l',m',p,n(2,N_g,1) ] where N g =W for {2,4} l,m,p,n 1,N_g,1 and W l,m,p,n 2,N_g,1 (N g W for =2 l,m,p,n 1,2,1 and W l,m,p,n 2,2,1 And, N g W for =4 l,m,p,n 1,4,1 and W l,m,p,n 2,4,1 and ) are given by the following equations:

[0081] where φ n =e jπn / 2 N g =2, p=p1, and N g For φ = 4, p = [p1, p2, p3]. p_1 , φ p_2 , φ p_3 represents the inter-panel phase difference (inter-panel phase compensation). In each precoding matrix, the first and second rows correspond to the first panel (panel 0), the third and fourth rows correspond to the second panel (panel 1), the fifth and sixth rows correspond to the third panel (panel 2), and the seventh and eighth rows correspond to the fourth panel (panel 3). Since the same SD beam is selected for all panels, each row has the same v l,m φ p_1 represents the phase difference of the second panel relative to the first panel. p_2 represents the phase difference of the third panel relative to the first panel. p_3 represents the phase difference of the fourth panel relative to the first panel.

[0082] Codebook modes 2 and N g = 2, the precoding matrix W for 1-layer CSI reporting l,m,p,n (1) is W l,m,p,n 1,2,1 The codebook modes 2 and N g = 2, the precoding matrix W for two-layer CSI reporting l,l',m,m',p,n (2)is (1 / sqrt(2))[W l,m,p,n 1,2,2 W l',m',p,n 2,2,2 ] where W l,m,p,n 1,2,2 and W l,m,p,n 2,2,2 is given by the following equation:

[0083] In each precoding matrix, the first and second rows correspond to the first panel (panel 0), and the third and fourth rows correspond to the second panel (panel 1). Since the same SD beam is selected for all panels, each row has the same v l,m p = [p1 p1] and n = [n0, n1, n2]. p_1 represents the phase difference of the second panel (panel 1) relative to the first panel (panel 0) in the first polarization. p_2 represents the phase difference of the second panel (panel 1) relative to the first panel (panel 0) in the second polarization. n_0 represents the phase difference of the second polarization of the first panel relative to the first polarization of the first panel for each subband. n_1 represents the phase difference of the first polarization of the second panel relative to the first polarization of the first panel for each subband. n_2 represents the phase difference of the second polarization of the second panel relative to the first polarization of the first panel for each subband.

[0084] (PMI / Type 2 Codebook) In the present disclosure, the terms Type 2 codebook, extended Type 2 codebook, Type 2 port selection (PS) codebook, extended Type 2 PS codebook, additional extended Type 2 port PS codebook, codebook for CJT, and codebook for Doppler may be interpreted interchangeably.

[0085] - Type 2 Codebook For a type 2 (type II) codebook (Rel. 15, type 2 CSI), the UE is configured with the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'type II'.

[0086] In this disclosure, a matrix Z with X rows and Y columns may be expressed as Z(X×Y).

[0087] In Rel. 15, Type 2 CSI assumes that for a given layer l, the subband-wise (SB-wise) precoding matrix is ​​based on the following equation: l (N t ×N3) = W1W 2,l (F1)

[0088] N t is the number of antennas / antenna ports. N3 is the total number of precoding (beamforming) matrices (precoders) indicated by the PMI (number of subbands).

[0089] W1(N t ×2L) are 2L DFT vectors (oversampled DFT vectors) and indicate the selected spatial domain basis. L∈{2,4} is the number of beams per layer. The actual number of beams considering two polarizations at one location is 2L. For example, the DFT vectors of L=2 SD beams are respectively b i ,b j It may be expressed as:

[0090] W 2,l (2L×N3) is a matrix (LC coefficient matrix) consisting of linear combination coefficients (subband complex LC coefficients, coupling coefficients) for layer l. 2,l represents the beam selection and the co-phasing between the two polarizations. For example, for L=2 SD beams b i ,b j The LC coefficients corresponding to i ,c j For example, the channel vector h is a linear combination of L=2 SD beams, c i b i ,+c j b j The feedback overhead is mainly due to the LC coefficient matrix W 2,l Also, Type 2 CSI in Rel. 15 only supports ranks 1 and 2.

[0091] In Type-2 CSI, the channel (channel matrix) for a user is represented by a linear combination of two polarizations and L SD beams. Type-2 CSI in Rel. 15 supports ranks 1 and 2.

[0092] - Enhanced Type 2 Codebook (Rel. 16) For Type 2 CSI (enhanced Type 2 codebook) in Rel. 16, the UE is configured with the upper layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeII-r16'.

[0093] Type 2 CSI in Rel. 16 uses frequency domain (FD) compression to compress the LC coefficient matrix W 2,l Rel. 16 Type 2 CSI supports ranks 3 and 4 in addition to ranks 1 and 2.

[0094] In Rel. 16 Type 2 CSI, the precoding matrix W for a given layer l is l is expressed by the following formula: W l = W1W ~ l W f,l H (F2)

[0095] W in Type 2 CSI of Rel. 15 2,l is W ~ l W f,l H It is approximated by the matrix W ~ may be expressed by adding ~ to the W. ~ l is W ~ 2,l It can also be expressed as W f,l H is W f,l is the adjoint matrix of W f,l is obtained by the conjugate transpose of

[0096] For CSI reporting, the UE may be configured with one of two subband sizes: N PRBSB The number of PMI subbands per CQI subband, R, is defined as consecutive PRBs and may depend on the total number of PRBs in the BWP. The number of PMI subbands per CQI subband, R, is configured by the RRC IE (numberOfPMI-SubbandsPerCQI-Subband). R controls the total number of precoding matrices, N3, represented by the PMI, as a function of the number of subbands configured in the csi-ReportingBand, the subband size configured by subbandSize, and the total number of PRBs in the BWP.

[0097] W1(N t ×2L) denotes the 2L DFT vectors. To represent this matrix, the indices of the SD basis and the two-dimensional over-sampling factor are reported.

[0098] W ~ l (2L×M v ) is the LC coefficient matrix. To represent this matrix, up to K0 non-zero coefficients (NZCs, LC coefficients with non-zero amplitude) are reported. The report consists of two parts: a bitmap indicating the NZC positions and the quantized NZCs.

[0099] W f,l (N3×M v ) for layer l, M v DFT vectors (frequency domain (FD) DFT vector, FD basis vector, FD beam) indicate the selected frequency domain basis. Each DFT vector uses N3 FD bases (subbands). N3 is the total number (number of subbands) of precoding (beamforming) matrices (precoders) indicated by the PMI as a function of the number of subbands configured in the csi-ReportingBand. The csi-ReportingBand indicates contiguous or discontiguous subbands within a BWP when CSI for that BWP is reported. M vIf N3 > 19, there are M FD DFT vectors from the intermediate subset (InS) of size N3' (<N3). v FD DFT vectors (FD basis) are selected. If N3≦19, log2(C(N3−1,M v -1)) bits are reported, where C(N3-1,M v -1) is N3-1 to M v It represents the number of combinations where one is chosen (combinatorial coefficient C(x,y)), and is also called the binomial coefficient.

[0100] The frequency domain response / distribution (frequency response) represented by the linear combination of the FD DFT vector and the LC coefficients may be called an FD beam, which may correspond to a delay profile (time response).

[0101] The PMI subband size is given by CQI subband size / R, where R∈{1, 2}. In other words, R is the ratio of the CQI subband size to the PMI subband size. The number of FD DFT vectors for a given rank v is M. v is ceil(p v ×N3 / R) The number of FD DFT vectors M v is the same for all layers l∈{1,2,3,4}. v is set by higher layers.

[0102] The multiple precoding matrix indicated by the PMI is L+M v is determined from vectors.

[0103] The L SD beams (SD DFT vectors) vm_1^(i), m_2^(i) for beam index i=0,1,...,L-1 are identified by q1, q2, n1, n2, and i 1,1 , i 1,2 is shown by

[0104] M v The FD DFT vectors are initial ∈{-2M v+1,-2M v +2,...,0}, n 3,l =[n 3,l (0) ,...,n 3,l (M_v-1) ], n 3,l (f) ∈{0,1,...,N3-1}.

[0105] In the FD DFT vector, the elements (FD basis) for the FD basis (subband) index t=0,1,...,N3-1 and layer l=1,...,v are y t,l (f) =exp(j2πtn 3,l (f) / N3). M v In the FD DFT vectors, the index of the FD DFT vector f=0,1,...,M v The FD DFT vector for -1 is [y 0,l (f) ,y 1,l (f) ,...,y N_3-1,l (f) ] T is.

[0106] W 2,l Each row of represents the channel frequency response of a particular SD beam. If the SD beam has high directivity, the channel taps per beam are limited (the power delay profile is sparse in the time domain). As a result, the channel frequency response per SD beam is highly correlated (approaching flat in the frequency domain). In this case, the channel frequency response can be approximated by a linear combination of a small number of FD DFT vectors. For example, M v = 2, the FD DFT vector f2,f q and LC coefficient d1 0 ,d2 0 and the frequency response associated with the SD beam b0 is given by d1 0 f2+,d2 0 f q is approximated by

[0107] Dominant M vM FD DFT vectors are selected. v <<By setting it to N3, W ~ l The overhead of W 2,l The overhead is much smaller than that of M v All or some of the FD DFT vectors are used to approximate the frequency response of each SD beam. A bitmap is used to report only the selected FD DFT vectors for each SD beam. If no bitmap is reported, all FD DFT vectors are selected for each SD beam. In this case, the NZCs of all FD DFT vectors are reported for each SD beam. The number of NZCs in a layer, K l NZ ≦K0=ceil(β×2LM v ) and the NZC number K across all layers NZ ≦2K0=ceil(β×2LM v ) where β is set by higher layers.

[0108] In the Rel. 16 extended type 2 codebook, L, β, p v The value of (codebook parameter combination, parameter combination) is determined by the upper layer parameter paramCombination-r16 (parameter combination setting).

[0109] In the present disclosure, the terms codebook parameter combination, codebook parameter combination, parameter combination, and parameter combination setting may be read interchangeably.

[0110] Type 2 CSI feedback on PUSCH in Rel. 16 includes two parts. CSI Part 1 has a fixed payload size and is used to identify the number of information bits in CSI Part 2. The size of Part 2 is variable (the UCI size depends on the number of NZCs, which is unknown to the base station). The UE reports the number of NZCs in CSI Part 1, which determines the size of CSI Part 2. The base station knows the size of CSI Part 2 after receiving CSI Part 1.

[0111] In Rel. 16 Enhanced Type 2 CSI feedback, CSI Part 1 includes the RI (if reported), the CQI, and an indicator of the total number of non-zero amplitude coefficients across layers for Enhanced Type 2 CSI. The fields in Part 1, RI (if reported), CQI, and the indicator of the total number of non-zero amplitude coefficients across layers, are coded separately. CSI Part 2 includes the PMI for Enhanced Type 2 CSI. Parts 1 and 2 are coded separately. CSI Part 2 (PMI) includes the oversampling factor, the index of the SD basis corresponding to each SD beam, and the index M of the initial FD DFT vector (start offset) for the selected DFT window. initial and at least one of the selected FD basis for each layer, NZC (amplitude and phase) for each layer, strongest coefficient indicator (SCI) for each layer, and amplitude of the strongest coefficient for each layer / polarization.

[0112] The multiple PMI indices (PMI values, codebook indices) associated with different CSI Part 2 information may be as follows for the l-th layer: 1,1 : Rotation factors [q1 q2] in two-dimensional oversampling. q1∈{0,1,...,O1-1}, q2∈{0,1,...,O2-1}. A beam index is selected within each (SD) beam group, i 1,1 Reported / displayed by i 1,2 : Multiple indices of the SD basis corresponding to each SD beam. i 1,2 ∈{0,1,...,C(N1N2,L)-1}. L beam groups are selected from N1N2 (SD) beam groups, and i 1,2 Reported / displayed by i 1,5 : Codebook indicator. The index of the FD basis for the selected DFT window. i 1,5 ∈{0,1,...,2M v -1}. ・i 1,6,l: Codebook indicator. The FD basis selected for the l-th layer. If N3≦19, then i 1,6,l ∈{0,1,...,C(N3-1,M v -1)-1}. If N3>19, i 1,6,l ∈{0,1,...,C(2M v -1,M v -1)-1}. ・i 1,7,l : Bitmap indicator for the lth layer. The non-zero bits in the bitmap are i 2,4,l and i 2,5,l Identifies which coefficients in are reported. 1,7,l =[k l,0 (3) ...k l,M_v-1 (3) ], k l,f (3) =[k l,0,f (3) ...k l,M_v-1,f (3) ], k l,i,f (3) ∈{0,1}. ・i 1,8,l : The strongest coefficient indicator for the lth layer (the largest element k in the amplitude coefficient indicator) l,i,f (2) ).i 2,3,l : Amplitude coefficient indicator (for both polarizations) of the (wideband) coefficients of the lth layer. 2,3,l =[k l,0 (1) k l,1 (1) ]. ・i 2,4,l : The amplitude coefficient indicator of the reported (subband) coefficient of the lth layer. 2,4,l =[k l,0 (2) ...k l,M_v-1 (2) ]. ・i 2,5,l : Phase coefficient indicator of the reported (subband) coefficient of the lth layer. 2,5,l =[c l,0,f ...c l,M_v-1,f ].

[0113] f l * ∈{0,1,...,Mv -1}, i 2,4,l Let i be the index of l * ∈{0,1,...,2L-1} is k l,f_l^* (2) Let f be the index of l * and i l * is the strongest coefficient for layer l=1,...,v, i.e., for layer l 2,4,l Elements kl,i_l^*,f_l^* (2) Identify the codebook index n 3,l is n 3,l (f_l^*) Regarding 3,l (f) =(n 3,l (f) -n 3,l (f_l^*) ) mod N3 and remapped, and after remapping, n 3,l (f_l^*) = 0. The index f is f l * Regarding f=(ff l * ) mod M v and after remapping, l * = 0 (l = 1,...,v). 2,4,l , i 2,5,l , and i 1,7,l indicates the amplitude coefficient, phase coefficient, and bitmap after remapping, respectively. 1,8,l The strongest coefficients in layer l, identified by ∈{0,1,...,2L-1}, are i for v=1. 1,8,l =Σ i=0 i_1^* k l,i,0 (3) -1, and for 1 < v ≤ 4, i 1,8,l =i l * is given.

[0114] W ~ lEach reported LC coefficient (complex coefficient) in is a separately quantized amplitude and phase. - Amplitude quantization: Polarization specific reference amplitudes are calculated from the table defined in the specification (amplitude coefficient indicator i 2,3,l Mapping of elements in: Amplitude coefficient indicator element k l,p (1) to amplitude coefficient p l,p (1) This table uses 16-level quantization with a mapping to p l (1) =[p l,0 (1) p l,1 (1) ] is [k l,0 (1) k l,1 (1) ], k l,p (1) ∈{0,...,15}. All other coefficients are quantized according to the table defined in the specification (amplitude coefficient indicator i 2,4,l Mapping of elements in: Amplitude coefficient indicator element k l,i,f (2) to amplitude coefficient p l,i,f (2) This table uses 8-level quantization with a mapping to p l (2) =[p l,0 (2) ...p l,M_v-1 (2) ], p l,f (2) =[p l,0,f (2) ...p l,2L-1.f (2) ] is k l,f (2) =[k l,0,f (2) ...k l,2L-1.f (2) ], k l,i,f (2) ∈{0,...,7}. - Phase quantization Amplitude coefficient indicator i 2,5,l Elements in (amplitude coefficient indicator elements) [c l,0 ...c l,M_v-1] is reported by the UE (using 4 bits). All phase coefficients are quantized using 16-PSK. The quantity φ for the phase difference l,i,f = exp(j2πc l,i,f / 16) is the phase coefficient c l,f =[c l,0,f ...c l,2L-1.f ], c l,i,fi ∈{0,...,15}.

[0115] The amplitude coefficient indicator element kl,floor(i_l^* / L) corresponds to the strongest coefficient of layer l. (1) = 15 (maximum value), and the amplitude coefficient indicator element k l,i_l^*,0 (2) = 7 (maximum value), and the phase coefficient indicator element c l,i_l^*,0 (2) = 0 (minimum value). For l=1,...,v, kl,floor(i_l^* / L) (1) , k l,i_l^*,0 (2) , c l,i_l^*,0 (2) =0 is not reported.

[0116] i 1,5 and i 1,6,l is the PMI index for FD-based reporting. Only if N3>19, i 1,5 is reported.

[0117] 3000 to 2999+P CSI-RS The precoding matrix W is represented by the codebook for v (=1 to 4) layer CSI reporting using (v) is the precoding matrix W for layer l (= 1 to v) l Based on the precoding matrix W l is expressed by the following equation:

[0118] where beam index i=0,1,...,L-1, m1 (i) =O1n1 (i) +q1, m2 (i) =O2n2 (i) +q2, n1 (i) ∈{0,1,...,N1-1}, n2(i) ∈{0,1,...,N2-1}. n1 (i) , n2 (i) is the SD basis for representing the SD beam i. vm_1^(i),m_2^(i) are DFT vectors representing the SD beams. p l,0 (1) denotes the wideband amplitude coefficient. l,i,f (2) denotes the subband amplitude coefficient. l,i,f denotes a phase coefficient. Thus, the codebook for each layer includes the strongest coefficient for each polarization, the amplitude coefficient for each polarization, the FD beam, and the SD beam, and the phase coefficient for each polarization, the FD beam, and the SD beam.

[0119] For CSI Part 2 grouping, for a given CSI report, the PMI information is grouped into three groups (groups 0 to 2). This is important when CSI omission is performed. Index i 2,4,l , i 2,5,l , i 1,7,l Each reported element of is associated with a specific priority rule. Groups 0 to 2 follow: Group 0: Index i 1,1 , i 1,2 , i 1,8,l (l=1,...,v) Group 1: Index i (if reported) 1,5 , index i (if reported) 1,6,l , i 1,7,l The highest (top) v2LM v -floor(K NZ / 2) priority elements, i 2,3,l , i 2,4,l The highest (upper) ceil(K NZ / 2)-v priority elements, i 2,5,l The highest (upper) ceil(K NZ / 2)-v priority elements (l=1,...,v) Group 2: i 1,7,l The lowest (lowest) floor(K NZ / 2) priority elements, i 2,4,l The lowest (lowest) floor(K NZ / 2) priority elements, i 2,5,l The lowest (lowest) floor(K NZ / 2) priority elements (l=1,...,v)

[0120] In Type-1 CSI, an SD beam represented by an SD DFT vector is sent to the UE. In Type-2 CSI, L SD beams are linearly combined and sent to the UE. Each SD beam can be associated with multiple FD DFT vectors (FD beam, FD basis, frequency response). For the corresponding SD beam, the channel frequency response can be obtained by linearly combining these FD DFT vectors. The channel frequency response corresponds to the power delay profile.

[0121] - Type 2 port selection codebook For Rel. 15 type 2 port selection (PS) CSI (type 2 PS codebook), the UE is configured with the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeII-PortSelection'.

[0122] In Rel. 15's Type 2 port selection CSI, the UE does not need to derive an SD beam by considering an SD DFT vector as in Type 2 CSI. The base station transmits CSI-RS using K CSI-RS ports beamformed by considering a set of SD beams. The UE selects / identifies the best L (≦K) CSI-RS ports for each polarization and reports their indices in W1. Rel. 15's Type 2 PS CSI supports ranks 1 and 2.

[0123] - Enhanced Type 2 Port Selection Codebook (Rel. 16) For Rel. 16 Type 2 PS CSI (enhanced Type 2 PS codebook), the UE is configured with the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeII-PortSelection-r16'.

[0124] The operation of Rel. 16 Type 2 PS CSI is similar to Rel. 16 Type 2 CSI except for SD beam selection. Rel. 15 Type 2 PS CSI supports ranks 1 to 4.

[0125] For layer l∈{1,2,3,4}, the precoding matrix W for generating a subband-wise (subband (SB)-wise) precoder is l is expressed by the following formula: W l (N t ×N3) = QW1W ~ l W f,l H (H1)

[0126] Here, Q(N t ×K) denotes the K SD beams used for CSI-RS beamforming. W1(K×2L) is a block diagonal matrix. W ~ l (2L×M) is the LC coefficient matrix. W f,l (N3×M) is a matrix consisting of M vectors (FD basis vectors), and each vector contains N3 FD bases. K is set by the upper layer. L is set by the upper layer. P CSI-RS ∈{4,8,12,16,24,32}. P CSI-RS > 4, then L∈{2,3,4}.

[0127] In the Type 2PS CSI of Rel. 15 / 16, each CSI-RS port #i is connected to an SD beam b i is associated with.

[0128] Rel. 16 Type 2 PS CSI, like Rel. 16 Type 2 CSI, reduces the number of FD basis vectors from N3 to M v By reducing it to (M v <<N3>>, which reduces overhead compared to Rel. 15 Type 2 PS CSI.

[0129] - Further enhanced Type 2 port selection codebook (Rel. 17) For the Type 2 PS CSI / codebook in Rel. 17 (further enhanced Type 2 PS codebook), the UE is configured with the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeII-PortSelection-r17'.

[0130] In Type 2 PS CSI of Rel. 17, each CSI-RS port #i transmits an SD-FD beam pair (SD beam b i and FD beam f i,j In this example, ports 3 and 4 are associated with the same SD beam and different FD beams.

[0131] The frequency selectivity of the channel frequency response observed at the UE based on an SD beam-FD beam pair can be reduced to less than the frequency selectivity of the channel frequency response observed at the UE based on an SD beam by delay pre-compensation.

[0132] The main scenario for the Rel. 17 Type-2 PS codebook is FDD. Channel reciprocity based on SRS measurements is not perfect (the angles of the UL beam and DL beam may be different, the UL frequency and DL frequency are different in FDD, and the effective antenna spacing at the UL frequency and DL frequency is different). However, the base station can obtain / select some partial information (dominant angle and delay (SD beam and FD beam)). By using SRS measurements at the base station in addition to CSI reports, the base station can obtain CSI for determining the DL MIMO precoder. In this case, some CSI reports may be omitted to reduce CSI overhead.

[0133] Parameter combinations L, β, p for Rel. 16 type 2 codebooks vwhere L is the number of SD beams. v is the number of FD basis vectors for rank v, M v =ceil(p v × N3 / R). β is a parameter for calculating the maximum number of NZCs.

[0134] In the Rel. 17 supplemental enhanced type 2 PS codebook, the values ​​of α, M, and β (codebook parameter combination, parameter combination) are determined by the upper layer parameter paramCombination-r17 (codebook parameter setting). In the parameter combination α, M, and β for the Rel. 17 supplemental enhanced type 2 PS codebook, α is the number of selected CSI-RS ports in the PS codebook, K1 = αP CSI-RS is a parameter for the calculation of M. M is the number of FD basis vectors. β is a parameter for the calculation of the maximum number of NZCs. The precoding matrix indicated by PMI is determined from L+M vectors, where L=K1 / 2 and K1=αP CSI-RS is.

[0135] L vectors v m^(i) (i=0,1,...,L-1) based on P CSI-RS K1 ports are selected from the vector v m^(i) is m=[m (0) ... [m (L-1) ], m (i) ∈{0,1,...,P CSI-RS / 2-1}. (i) is the index i 1,2 ∈{0,1,...,C(P CSI-RS / 2,L)-1}.

[0136] In the additional enhanced Type 2PS CSI of Rel. 17, each CSI-RS port is beamformed using an SD beam and an FD beam, and each port is associated with an SD-FD beam pair.

[0137] Precoding matrix W for a given layer ll is expressed by the following formula: W l (K×N3) = W1W ~ l W f,l H (H2)

[0138] For W1(K×2L), each matrix block consists of L columns of a K×K identity matrix. The base station transmits K beamformed CSI-RS ports. Each port is associated with an SD-FD beam pair. The UE selects L ports out of the K and reports the index of the selected port to the base station as part of the PMI. Note that in Rel. 16, each port is associated with an SD beam.

[0139] W ~ l (2L×M v ) is a matrix of combining coefficients (subband complex LC coefficients). Up to K0 NZCs are reported. The report consists of two parts: a bitmap indicating the NZC positions and the quantized NZCs.

[0140] In the additional extension type 2PS CSI of Rel. 17, K l NZ =Σ i=0 k1-1 Σ f=0 M-1 k l,i,f (3) ≦K0 is the number of non-zero coefficients in layers l=1,...,v, and K NZ =Σ l=1 v K l NZ ≦2K0 is the total number of non-zero coefficients. If v≦2 and K NZ =K1Mv, i for layers l=1,...,v 1,7,l (Bitmap indicator for the lth layer) is not reported. That is, if the total number of reported NZCs is equal to the maximum number of K1Mv and v≦2, reporting of the bitmap indicating the position of NZCs is omitted. Note that in Rel. 16, the NZC position bitmap is always reported.

[0141] W f,l (N3×M v ) is M for each layer. v (M v = 1 or 2) FD basis vectors. Each vector contains N3 FD bases (FD-DFT bases). The base station f,l You can also erase. M v If W = 1, f,l is off and no additional FD basis vectors are reported. v If W = 2, f,l is on and M v additional FD basis vectors are reported. v = 2, the window size N ∈ {2, 4} of the FD basis is set by the upper layer parameter (valueOfN). f,l is always reported.

[0142] (JT) Joint transmission (JT) may refer to simultaneous data transmission from multiple points (eg, TRPs) to a single UE.

[0143] Rel. 17 supports non-coherent joint transmission (NCJT) from two TRPs. The PDSCHs from the two TRPs may be independently precoded and independently decoded. The frequency resources may be non-overlapping, partially overlapping, or fully overlapping. When overlap occurs, the PDSCH from one TRP will interfere with the PDSCH from the other TRP.

[0144] Rel. 18 is considering supporting coherent joint transmission (CJT, mTRP CJT) using up to four TRPs. Data from the four TRPs may be coherently precoded and transmitted to the UE on the same time-frequency resource. For example, the same precoding matrix may be used to consider channels from the four TRPs. "Coherent" may mean that there is a fixed relationship between the phases of multiple received signals. Using four-TRP joint precoding, signal quality may be improved and there may be no interference between the four TRPs. Data may only be subject to interference outside the four TRPs.

[0145] (NCJT CSI / Type 1 Codebook) In Rel. 17, the applicable scenario for NCJT CSI reporting is a single DCI-based MTRP NCJT with a Type 1 single-panel codebook. For NCJT CSI measurement, two channel measurement resource (CMR) groups, each with a CMR from one TRP, can be configured within a single CSI-ReportConfig. One CSI reporting mode can be configured from two modes:

[0146] Through RRC signaling, the CSI-ReportConfig for Rel. 17 non-coherent joint transmission (NCJT) CSI configures the CMR and the CSI reporting mode (csi-ReportMode).

[0147] K s Two CMR groups with K = K1 + K2 CMRs are configured in the UE. s ≦8. K s The CMRs correspond to NZP-CSI-RS resource sets for channel measurement. K1 and K2 are the numbers of CMRs in the two CMR groups, respectively. N (N sets) CMR pairs (resource pairs) are configured by higher layers by selecting from all possible pairs. N=1, K s =2 is supported.max Support for K = 2 is an optional feature for the UE. S,max =X support is an optional feature for the UE. Each CMR can contain up to 32 CSI-RS ports, depending on the UE capabilities. Each CMR pair is associated with one CRI value.

[0148] The bitmap signaled by RRC indicates N (N=1, 2) CMR pairs actually used for NCJT measurement by indicating one CMR from each CMR group. The UE measures single-TRP CSI for TRP1 and single-TRP CSI for TRP2 using CMRs in the two CMR groups, and measures NCJT CSI using N CMR pairs.

[0149] The UE selects one or more CSIs to report based on the mode (CSI reporting mode) configured by csi-ReportMode. csi-ReportMode indicates one of the following two modes (NCJT CSI modes): Mode 1: The UE may be configured to report X CSIs associated with single-TRP measurement hypotheses and one CSI associated with the NCJT measurement hypothesis. X=0, 1, 2. If X=2, two CSIs are associated with two different single-TRP measurement hypotheses with multiple CMRs from different CMR groups. Support for X=1, 2 is an optional UE feature for UEs that support Option 1. Mode 2: The UE is configured to report one CSI associated with the best one of the NCJT and single-TRP measurement hypotheses.

[0150] In Mode 1, the UE reports a total of X+1 CSIs, including X (X=0, 1, 2) single-TRP CSIs and one NCJT CSI. In Mode 2, the UE reports one best CSI (one CSI) from all single-TRP CSIs and one NCJT CSI.

[0151] Within one CSI report, up to two single-TRP CSIs and one NCJT CSI can be reported (mode 1 with X=2). The NCJT CSI includes one CRI, two RIs (with one joint RI index), two PMIs, two LIs, and one CQI (up to four layers). The single-TRP CSI is the same as the existing CSI, and includes one CRI, one RI / PMI / LI, and one or two CQIs (up to eight layers, one CQI per CW).

[0152] New mapping orders (tables) of multiple fields within one CSI report are defined for some of the following cases: Wideband CSI mapping order for mode 1 with X=0. Wideband CSI is supported only for mode 1 with X=0, i.e., NCJT CSI. CSI Part 1 mapping order for modes 1 and 2. CSI Part 2 wideband mapping order for modes 1 and 2. CSI Part 2 subband mapping order for modes 1 and 2.

[0153] (CJT CSI / Type-2 Codebook) In the ideal case (where four TRPs are co-located), a joint estimation of the aggregated channel matrix H can be performed, and a joint precoding matrix V can be fed back. However, the large-scale path losses of the four paths can vary significantly. A joint precoding matrix V based on a constant module codebook is not accurate. In this case, the feedback per TRP and inter-TRP coefficients can be matched by the current NR Type-2 codebook.

[0154] For a CJT of up to four TRPs in FR1, the selection of the four TRPs may be semi-static. Therefore, the selection and configuration of the four CMRs (four CSI-RS resources) for channel measurement may also be semi-static. Dynamic indication of the four TRPs from a list of CSI-RS resources is also possible, but unlikely.

[0155] The path losses from the four TRPs to the UE are different, which makes it difficult to simply report one aggregated CSI that represents the joint channel matrix.

[0156] Considering fallback operation to NCJT (i.e., single TRP), CSI per TRP (i.e., single TRP CSI like NCJT CSI in Rel. 17) is also considered.

[0157] Assuming an ideal backhaul, synchronization, and the same number of antenna ports across multiple TRPs, CSI acquisition for coherent joint transmission (CJT) for FR1 and up to four TRPs is considered. For CJT multi-TRP for FDD, an extended (Rel. 16) Type 2 codebook and an additional extended (Rel. 17) Type 2 PS codebook are considered.

[0158] W1 (matrix representing SD DFT vector) / W for each TRP f (the matrix representing the FD DFT vector) may be the same or different. l (NZC) may be different. W1 / W for each TRP f / W l may be selected jointly or individually. W1 / W f / W l Different scenarios with different options are preferable for the design of W. φ may be reported as separate items or lThese used policies relate to deployment scenarios (e.g., intra-site multi-TRP or inter-site multi-TRP).

[0159] For example, the precoding matrix for a 4-TRP CJT CSI (codebook) is W1 / W f / W l The W1 for each TRP may be the same or different, selected jointly or individually. l may be different and may be selected jointly or individually. f may be the same or different, and may be jointly or individually selected.

[0160] There are two codebook mode settings for FD basis selection. In mode 1, we denote the FD basis offset for the j-th selected CSI-RS resource for j=2,...,N by i 1,9 In Mode 2, i 1,9 No reporting is required. All CSI-RS resources have the same FD basis selection.

[0161] - Mode 1 is SD / FD basis selection per TRP / TRP group. It allows independent FD basis selection across N TRPs / TRP groups. For example, the codebook structure is given by the following equation: where N is the number of TRPs or TRP groups.

[0162] Mode 2 is SD basis selection per TRP / TRP group (port group or resource) and joint / common FD basis selection (across N TRPs / TRP groups). For example, its codebook structure is given by the following formula: where N is the number of TRPs or TRP groups.

[0163] In these two modes, detailed designs such as parameter combination, basis selection, TRP (group) selection, reference amplitude, and W2 quantization method may be shared.

[0164] For the enhanced Type II codebook for CJT (Type 2 CSI for CJT in Rel. 18), the UE may configure the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeII-CJT-r18'. For the further enhanced Type II port selection codebook for CJT (Type 2 PS CSI for CJT in Rel. 18), the UE may configure the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeII-CJT-PortSelection-r18'.

[0165] The UE uses N TRP ∈{1,2,3,4} CSI-RS resources can be configured.

[0166] In the extended type 2 codebook for CJT, the upper layer parameter paramCombination-CJT-L-r18 determines {L1,...,L N_TRP} value of N L A set of ∈{1,2,4} combinations is set. N L The value of is set by the higher layer parameter numberOfSDCombinations.

[0167] In the CJT additional extended type 2 PS codebook, the upper layer parameter paramCombination-CJT-PS-alpha-r18 determines {α1,...,α N_TRP} value of N L A set of ∈{1,2,4} combinations is set. N L The value of is set by the higher layer parameter numberOfSDCombinations-PS.

[0168] The UE may configure the upper layer parameter restrictedCMR-Selection. If restrictedCMR-Selection is configured, the number of selected CSI-RS resources N is N TRP Otherwise, the UE TRP , we expect to select N CSI-RS resources, and the selection is TRP The value is reported using a bitmap of bits.

[0169] In selecting / reporting an SD beam, selection / reporting of an SD beam per CSI-RS resource is applied.

[0170] In the extended type 2 codebook for CJT, the precoding matrix indicated by PMI is Σ j=1 N L σ_j +M v vectors, where {σ1,...,σ N} is 1≦σ1<…<σ N ≦N TRP are the indices of the N CSI-RS resources selected in ascending order so that TRP may be the number of CSI-RS resources configured for CSI reporting, or may be the number of TRPs for CJT. σ_1 ,...,L σ_N} is {L1,...,L N_TRP} is the corresponding value from the selected combination.

[0171] j=1,...,N, i=0,1,...,L σ_j −1, L corresponding to the j-th selected CSI-RS resource σ_j The vectors vm_1,f^(i),m_2,f^(i) are 1,1 , i 1,2 It is displayed / reported by, where i 1,1 , i 1,2 is given by the following equation: i 1,1 =[i 1,1,1 ...i 1,1,N ] i 1,1,j =[q 1,j q2,j ] q 1,j ∈{0,1,...,O1-1} q 2,j ∈{0,1,...,O2-1} i 1,2 =[i 1,2,1 ...i 1,2,N ] i 1,2,j ∈{0,1,...,C(N1N2,L σ_j )-1}

[0172] In the additional extended type 2PS codebook for CJT, the precoding matrix indicated by PMI is Σ j=1 N L σ_j +M vectors, where {σ1,...,σ N} is 1≦σ1<…<σ N ≦N TRP are the indices of the N CSI-RS resources selected in ascending order so that L σ_j =K 1,σ_j / 2, K 1,σ_j =α σ_j *P CSI-RS {α σ_1 ,...,α σ_N} is {α1,...,α N_TRP} is the corresponding value from the selected combination.

[0173] j=1,...,N, i=0,1,...,L σ_j -1, L σ_j vectors v m_j^(i) Based on this, P of the j-th selected CSI-RS resource is CSI-RS From the ports, K 1,σ_j ports are selected and i 1,2 It is displayed / reported by, where i 1,2 is given by the following equation: i 1,2 =[i 1,2,1 ...i 1,2,N ] i 1,2,j ∈{0,1,...,C(P CSI-RS ,L σ_j )-1}

[0174] In the present disclosure, the CJT codebook, the CJT type 2 codebook, the CJT extended type 2 codebook, the Rel. 18 CJT type 2 codebook, type II-CJT-r18, the CJT supplemented extended type 2 PS codebook, the Rel. 18 CJT type 2 PS codebook, and type II-CJT-PortSelection-r18′ may be read interchangeably.

[0175] (Doppler CSI / Type-2 Codebook) It is being considered to extend / improve CSI reporting for UEs moving at high / medium speeds by utilizing time-domain correlation / Doppler-domain (DD) information. For example, it is being considered to improve the extended (Rel. 16) Type-2 codebook and the additional extended (Rel. 17) Type-2 PS codebook without changing the spatial and frequency domain basis, and to report from the UE the time-domain channel characteristics (time-domain correlation profile) measured via the tracking CSI-RS (TRS).

[0176] The channel coherent time (CCT) depends on the maximum Doppler shift. The channel coherent time is the time during which the measured channel characteristics are available or until the measured channel characteristics become unavailable (channel aging). The maximum Doppler shift is estimated by the relative velocity between the transmitter and receiver. The channel coherent time T c is 1 / Δf max where Δf max = v / λ. As the UE's moving speed increases, the channel coherence time decreases. For example, at a carrier frequency of 4.5 GHz, when the moving speed exceeds approximately 25 km / h, the channel coherence time decreases to less than 10 ms. The problem is how to deal with such high moving speeds and short channel coherence times.

[0177] TRS is supported to track Doppler shift. However, TRS has the following issues: - The number of ports per CSI-RS resource set is limited to one. Each CSI-RS resource uses a single port. - The configurable period is 10 ms or more. - CSI reporting for TRS is not assumed. There is no reporting configuration for P-TRS. Reporting can be configured, but the report quantity (reportQuantity) can only be set to 'none'. A maximum of 16 CSI-RS resources can be used per CSI-RS resource set.

[0178] The TRS is allocated to resources in the time domain and frequency domain. To measure the effect of Doppler shift, multiple RSs in the time domain are required within a specific frequency domain resource.

[0179] The CMR can be used to measure the effect of Doppler shift, but the RS used for the measurement depends on the UE implementation.

[0180] The amount of CSI reporting does not support information about Doppler shift. Through the CSI codebook (PMI), the UE reports information for determining W = W1W2, where W1 is the wideband characteristic and indicates the spatial beam, and W2 is the subband characteristic and indicates the amplitude / phase coefficient for each spatial beam.

[0181] Regarding measurements related to Doppler shift, there are possible cases: Case 1 in which the UE performs measurements based on CSI-RS, and Case 2 in which the base station performs measurements based on SRS. Regarding determination of the influence of Doppler shift, there are possible cases: Case 1-1 in which the UE performs determination based on CSI-RS measurement results, Case 1-2 in which the base station performs determination based on CSI-RS measurement results reported by the UE, and Case 2-1 in which the base station performs determination based on SRS measurement results.

[0182] A CSI-RS measurement window and a CSI reporting window are considered. Within a CSI-RS measurement window, one or more CSI-RS occasions may be measured. The reported CSI may be associated with a CSI reporting window.

[0183] Assuming that the CSI is reported in slot n, the length of the basis vectors (DFT basis vectors) in the Doppler domain (DD) / time domain (TD) (the number of DD / TD bases) may be N4. meas Within a CSI measurement window of W −1, one or more CSI occasions for calculation of a CSI report may be measured, where k may be a slot index and W meas may be the measurement window length (number of slots). The CSI occasion may be configured in the CSI-ReportConfig. Slot [l,l+W CSI −1] may be associated with a CSI report in slot n, where l may be a slot index and W CSI may be the reporting window length (number of slots). ref It may be expressed as:

[0184] CSI reporting window duration W CSI = dN4, where d and N4 are determined by the CMR setting. The start of the CSI reporting window is slot l. l = (nN CSI,ref ) may be used. l=(n+δ) may be used. δ={0,2} may be used, or δ={0,1,2} may be used.

[0185] A d-slot may be of duration in DD units.

[0186] When UE-side prediction is assumed, the UE is supported to predict the CSI / channel after slot l, and the position of slot l (from multiple candidate values) is configured by the base station via higher layer signaling. The multiple candidates for the slot l position are determined based on the existing CSI reference resource position (nNCSI,ref ) and (n+δ), where δ>0. The existing CSI reference resource in the existing operation, i.e., (nN CSI,ref ) is reused / repurposed to indicate the position of the last CSI-RS occasion used for CSI reporting.

[0187] For the parameter δ, an additional value of 2 is supported.

[0188] N4 is configured by the base station via higher layer signaling.

[0189] For N4=1, the DD basis may be identity. There may be no DD compression. The codebook structure in this case may be, for example,

[0190] For N4>1, the Doppler domain orthogonal DFT basis may be selected commonly for all SD / FD basis. The codebook structure in this case may be, for example,

[0191] Only Q>1, which indicates the number of selected Doppler domain (DD) basis vectors, is allowed. The detailed design of the SD / FD basis with associated UCI parameters follows existing specifications.

[0192] For an enhanced Type II codebook for predicted PMI (Rel. 18 Type 2 CSI for predicted PMI), the UE may configure the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeII-Doppler-r18'. For a further enhanced Type II port selection codebook for predicted PMI (Rel. 18 Type 2 PS CSI for predicted PMI), the UE may configure the higher layer parameter codebookType set to 'typeII-Doppler-PortSelection-r18'.

[0193] In the present disclosure, the Doppler codebook, the Doppler type 2 codebook, the extended type 2 codebook for predicted PMI, the Rel. 18 type 2 CSI codebook for predicted PMI, type II-Doppler-r18, the additional extended type 2 PS codebook for predicted PMI, the Rel. 18 type 2 PS codebook for predicted PMI, and type II-Doppler-PortSelection-r18 may be interpreted as interchangeable.

[0194] (TDCP Reporting) Reporting of time domain channel properties (TDCP) from the UE is under consideration.

[0195] The report quantity (upper layer parameter reportQuantity) is set to 'tdcp', the upper layer parameter Y ≥ 1, and the delays {D1,...,D Y}, and for the CSI-ReportConfig with TDCP =[k1 ... k Y ] is reported, where k i ∈{0,...,15}. For i=1,...,Y, the corresponding amplitude value is 1-a i It is obtained from k i From a i The mapping to is defined in the specification.

[0196] For Y>1, if the upper layer parameter phase is set, the TDCP phase c TDCP =[c1 ... c Y ] is reported, where c i ∈{0,...,15}. The corresponding phase value is exp(j2πc i / 16).

[0197] (CSI Processing Criteria: Physical Layer Procedure for Data / Physical Downlink Shared Channel Related Procedure / UE Procedure for Reporting CSI / CSI Framework) The UE uses the following capability information to determine the number of supported simultaneous CSI calculations (maximum number of simultaneous CSI calculations) N CPU Report / display NCPU indicates the number of CSI processing units (CPUs). - simultaneousCSI-ReportsPerCC in csi-ReportFramework in MIMO-ParametersPerBand. MIMO-ParametersPerBand is used to convey MIMO-related parameters specific to a certain band. csi-ReportFramework indicates whether the UE supports the CSI reporting framework. simultaneousCSI-ReportsPerCC indicates the number of CSI reports that the UE can simultaneously measure and process reference signals within one CC of a band where this capability is provided. CSI reports include periodic, semi-persistent, and aperiodic CSI, and any latency class and codebook type. CSI reports in simultaneousCSI-ReportsPerCC include beam reports and CSI reports. - simultaneousCSI-ReportsAllCC in CA-ParametersNR. simultaneousCSI-ReportsAllCC indicates whether the UE supports the CSI reporting framework and the number of CSI reports the UE can process simultaneously across all CCs (master cell group (MCG) and secondary cell group (SCG) in the case of NR-DC). CSI reports include periodic, semi-persistent, and aperiodic CSI, and any latency class and codebook type. CSI reports in simultaneousCSI-ReportsAllCC include beam reports and CSI reports. This parameter is further limited by simultaneousCSI-ReportsPerCC and Phy-ParametersFRX-Diff in MIMO-ParametersPerBand for each band in a given band combination.

[0198] UE is N CPU If the UE supports N simultaneous CSI calculations, the UE uses N CPUIf L CPUs are dedicated to the calculation of CSI reports in a given OFDM symbol, the UE is said to have N CPU -L free CPUs. N CPU On the same OFDM symbol where L CPUs are not occupied, N CSI reports start by occupying their respective CPUs, and O of each CSI report n=0,...,N-1 of the N CSI reports CPU (n) (the number of CPUs consumed for CSI report n), the UE selects the lowest priority (the highest priority value Pri iCSI (y, k, c, s)), where 0≦M≦N, is not required to update (calculate, process) the NM requested CSI reports from Σ n=0 M-1 O CPU (n) ≦N CPU -L is the maximum value for which it holds.

[0199] The UE is CPU It is not assumed that the A-CSI trigger state will be configured with more than one report setting. The processing of the CSI report will occupy some CPUs in some symbols, such as the following processes 1, 2, a, and 3. The processing of the CSI report may occupy 0, 1, or more CPUs (O CPU , number of CPUs consumed) (CPU occupancy rule).

[0200] - Procedure 1: In the case where CSI reporting is configured with CSI-ReportConfig with higher layer parameter reportQuantity set to 'none' and CSI-RS-ResourceSet with higher layer parameter trs-Info, CPU =0.

[0201] - Operation 2 (Beam Management) In a CSI report with CSI-ReportConfig with higher layer parameter reportQuantity set to 'cri-RSRP', 'ssb-Index-RSRP', 'cri-SINR', 'ssb-Index-SINR', 'cri-RSRP-Capability[Set]Index', 'ssb-Index-RSRP-Capability[Set]Index', 'cri-SINR-Capability[Set]Index', 'ssb-Index-SINR-Capability[Set]Index', or 'none' (if CSI-RS-ResourceSet with higher layer parameter trs-Info is not configured), O CPU =1.

[0202] - Process a (TDCP Reporting) For CSI reporting using CSI-ReportConfig with higher layer parameter reportQuantity set to 'tdcp' and the number of delays Y set by higher layer parameter Y, CPU = (Y+1), where the value of X >= 1 is reported by the UE capability.

[0203] - Procedure 3: In a CSI report with CSI-ReportConfig with higher layer parameter reportQuantity set to 'cri-RI-PMI-CQI', 'cri-RI-i1', 'cri-RI-i1-CQI', 'cri-RI-CQI', or 'cri-RI-LI-PMI-CQI', CPU follows the following process 3-x: -- Process 3-1 (case where the UE can use the maximum of the UE capability) max{μ PDCCH , μ CSI-RS , μ UL}≦3 and CSI reporting without PUSCH transmission with at least one of transport block and HARQ-ACK is triggered aperiodically when L=0 CPUs are occupied, the CSI corresponds to a single CSI with wideband frequency-granularity and 4 or less CSI-RS ports in a single resource without CRI reporting, the codebookType is set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' and the reportQuantity is set to 'cri-RI-CQI', CPU =N CPU μ PDCCH μ is the subcarrier spacing (SCS) setting of the PDCCH. CSI-RS is the SCS setting of the CSI-RS. μ UL is the SCS configuration of the UL BWP where the CSI report is transmitted. -- Procedure 3-2 (NCJT CSI case) If a CSI-ReportConfig with codebookType set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' is configured and the corresponding CSI-RS resource set for channel measurement is configured with two resource groups and N resource pairs, then O CPU = X·N+M, where X is the number of CPUs occupied by a pair of CMRs according to the UE capability. The UE capability mTRP-CSI-numCPU-r17 indicates the number of CPUs occupied by a pair of CMRs for the NCJT CSI hypotheses. K SNZP for channel measurement with K1 resources = K1 + K2 resources For M1 resources and M2 resources associated with CRI values ​​for resource group 1 with K1 resources and resource group 2 with K2 resources in the CSI-RS resource set, M = M1 + M2. -- Process 3-3 (CJT CSI case) A CSI-ReportConfig is configured with the upper layer parameters reportQuantity set to 'cri-RI-PMI-CQI' and codebookType set to 'typeII-CJT-r18' or 'typeII-CJT-PortSelection-r18', and the corresponding 1 < N TRP If an NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet for channel measurement with ≤ 4 resources is configured, O CPU =X・N TRP where the value of X≧1 is reported by the UE capability. -- Procedure 3-4 (Doppler CSI case) If CSI-ReportConfig is configured with the higher layer parameter reportQuantity set to 'cri-RI-PMI-CQI' and the codebookType set to 'typeII-Doppler-r18' or 'typeII-Doppler-PortSelection-r18', then O CPU The following procedure is followed: Procedure 3-4-1: If the corresponding CSI-RS resource set for channel measurement is aperiodic and configured with K CSI-RS resources, then CPU = Y1·K, where Y1≧1 is reported by the UE capability. --- Step 3-4-2 If the corresponding CSI-RS resource set for channel measurement is periodic or semi-persistent and configured with a single CSI-RS resource, then for N4=1, O CPU = 4, and for N4 > 1, O CPU= Y2·N4 ≥ 4, where N4 is set by the higher layer parameter N4 and Y2 ≥ 1 is reported by the UE capability. -- Procedure 3-5 Otherwise, O CPU =K S It is. K S is the number of CSI-RS resources in the CSI-RS resource set for channel measurement.

[0204] For a CSI report with CSI-ReportConfig with the higher layer parameter reportQuantity not set to 'none', one or more CPUs are occupied for the following OFDM symbols (CPU occupation duration): A P-CSI or SP-CSI report occupies one or more CPUs from the first symbol of the earliest one of the CSI-RS / CSI-IM / SSB resources for channel or interference measurement, where the last CSI-RS / CSI-IM / SSB occasion precedes the corresponding CSI reference resource, to the last symbol of the PUSCH / PUCCH configured to carry the report (CPU occupation duration 1). The P-CSI or SP-CSI report excludes the first SP-CSI report on the PUSCH after the PDCCH that triggers the report. The time during which the P-CSI report or SP-CSI report occupies one or more CPUs may be referred to as CPU occupation duration 1. - An A-CSI report occupies one or more CPUs from the first symbol after the PDCCH that triggers the CSI report to the last symbol of the configured PUSCH / PUCCH that carries the report (CPU occupation duration 2). If the PDCCH reception includes two corresponding PDCCH candidates from two search space sets, the PDCCH candidate that ends later is used to determine the CPU occupation duration. The time during which the A-CSI report occupies one or more CPUs may be referred to as CPU occupation duration 2. - The first SP-CSI report on the PUSCH after the PDCCH trigger occupies one or more CPUs from the first symbol after the PDCCH to the last symbol of the scheduled PUSCH that carries the report (CPU occupation duration 3). If the PDCCH reception includes two corresponding PDCCH candidates from two search space sets, the PDCCH candidate that ends later is used to determine the CPU occupation duration. The time during which the SP-CSI report occupies one or more CPUs may be referred to as CPU occupation duration 3.

[0205] In any slot, the UE is not expected to have more active CSI-RS ports or active CSI-RS resources in the active BWP than the number reported as its capabilities. NZP CSI-RS resources are active for a duration defined as follows: - The duration for A-CSI-RS starts from the end of the PDCCH containing the request and ends at the end of the scheduled PUSCH containing the report associated with that A-CSI-RS. - The duration for SP-CSI-RS starts from the end of the time when the activation command applies and ends at the end of the time when the deactivation command applies. - The duration for P-CSI-RS starts when the P-CSI-RS is configured by higher layer signaling and ends when the P-CSI-RS configuration is released.

[0206] If a CSI-RS resource is referenced by N CSI reporting settings, then that CSI-RS resource and the CSI-RS ports within that CSI-RS resource are counted N times.

[0207] A P-CSI-RS is always counted as an active CSI-RS regardless of whether it is received on that OFDM symbol or not.

[0208] The UE reports UE capability information (codebookParameter) related to the codebook of the CSI report for each band.

[0209] The codebookParameter indicates the codebook (type) and corresponding parameters supported by the UE. Reporting of parameters corresponding to Type 1 single panel is mandatory. Reporting of parameters corresponding to Type 1 multi-panel, Type 2, and Type 2 port selection is optional. The parameters may include at least one of maxNumberTxPortsPerResource, maxNumberResourcesPerBand, and totalNumberTxPortsPerBand. maxNumberTxPortsPerResource indicates the maximum number of transmit ports in one resource. maxNumberResourcesPerBand indicates the maximum number of resources that can be used simultaneously across all CCs in one band. totalNumberTxPortsPerBand indicates the maximum number of transmit ports that can be used simultaneously across all CCs in one band.

[0210] In this disclosure, CPU occupation, number of occupied CPUs, number of CPUs, O CPU , and the number of CPUs consumed may be read interchangeably.

[0211] (CSI Reference Resource) The CSI reference resource for a serving cell is defined as follows: In the frequency domain, the CSI reference resource is defined by a group of multiple DL PRBs corresponding to the band to which the derived CSI pertains. In the time domain, the CSI reference resource is defined by a single DL slot nn CSI_ref -K offset ・2 μ_DL / 2 μ_Koffset where K offset is a parameter set by the upper layer, and μ_Koffset is the offset μ_DL is the subcarrier spacing setting for DL, with a value of 0 in FR1. μ_DL is the subcarrier spacing setting for DL. -- In P / SP-CSI reporting, if a single CSI-RS / SSB for channel measurement is configured, n CSI_refis a 4.2 that corresponds to an available DL slot. μ_DL If multiple CSI-RS / SSBs are configured for channel measurement, n CSI_ref is a 5.2 that corresponds to an available DL slot. μ_DL -- In AP-CSI reporting, if the UE is instructed by DCI to report CSI in the same slot as the CSI request, then n CSI_ref is such that the reference resource is in the same valid DL slot as the corresponding CSI request, otherwise, CSI_ref is slot n CSI_ref corresponds to a valid DL slot, symb slot ) where Z' corresponds to the delay requirement. N symb slot is the number of symbols in a slot. -- If P or SP CSI-RS / CSI-IM or SSB is used for channel / interference measurement, the UE is not expected to measure the channel / interference for CSI-RS / CSI-IM / SSB whose last OFDM symbol is received more than Z' symbols before the transmission time of the first OFDM symbol of the AP-CSI report.

[0212] If a slot in the serving cell contains at least a DL or flexible symbol configured by higher layers and the slot is not within a measurement gap configured for the UE, the slot is considered a valid DL slot.

[0213] (UE CSI Calculation Time: Physical Layer Procedures for Data / Physical Downlink Shared Channel Related Procedures) When a CSI request field on the DCI triggers a CSI report on the PUSCH, the UE provides a valid CSI report for the n-th triggered report if the following conditions are met: The first uplink symbol carrying one or more corresponding CSI reports and including the effect of timing advance is symbol Z. ref (symbol Z refthe first uplink symbol carrying the nth CSI report and including the effect of timing advance is symbol Z' ref (n) does not start earlier than (symbol Z' ref (n) or later).

[0214] Z ref is the next uplink symbol after the end of the last symbol of the PDCCH that triggers the one or more CSI reports, and its cyclic prefix (CP) is T proc,CSI =(Z)(2048+144)・κ2 -μ ・T C +T switch Z' is defined as a symbol starting at ref is the next uplink symbol after the end of the last symbol of the latest of the following times, when the A-CSI-RS is used for channel measurement for the n-th triggered CSI report, and its CP is T' proc,CSI =(Z')(2048+144)・κ2 -μ ・T C - A-CSI-RS resources for channel measurements, - A-CSI-IM used for interference measurements, and - A-NZP-CSI-RS for channel measurements.

[0215] T switch is defined in the specification and applies only if Z1 applies.

[0216] If a PDCCH reception includes two corresponding PDCCH candidates from two search space sets, the PDCCH candidate that ends later in time is used to determine the last symbol of the PDCCH that triggers the CSI report.

[0217] Z, Z' and μ are defined as follows:

[0218] Z = max(Z(m)) for m = 0,...,M-1. Z' = max(Z'(m)) for m = 0,...,M-1, where M is the number of updated CSI reports. (Z(m),Z'(m)) corresponds to the mth updated CSI report and is defined as follows: where CSI computation delay requirement 1 denotes (Z1,Z'1) [symbols] for μ∈{0,1,2,3}, and CSI computation delay requirement 2 denotes (Z1,Z'1), (Z2,Z'2), (Z3,Z'3) [symbols] for μ∈{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.

[0219] - max{μ PDCCH ,μ CSI-RS ,μ UL}≦3, and L=0 CPUs are occupied, the CSI to be transmitted is a single CSI, corresponds to wideband frequency granularity, the CSI corresponds to a maximum of four CSI-RS ports in a single resource without CRI reporting, and CodebookType is set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' or reportQuantity is set to 'cri-RI-CQI', and if the CSI is triggered without a PUSCH with a transport block or HARQ-ACK or both, then (Z(m), Z'(m)) is defined as (Z1, Z'1) in CSI calculation delay requirement 1.

[0220] - If the CSI to be transmitted corresponds to wideband frequency granularity, and the CSI corresponds to up to four CSI-RS ports in a single resource without CRI reporting, and CodebookType is set to 'typeI-SinglePanel' or reportQuantity is set to 'cri-RI-CQI', then (Z(m), Z'(m)) is defined as (Z1, Z'1) in CSI calculation delay requirement 2.

[0221] - If the CSI to be transmitted corresponds to wideband frequency granularity and reportQuantity is set to 'ssb-Index-SINR', 'cri-SINR', 'ssb-Index-SINR-Index' or 'cri-SINR-Index', then (Z(m), Z'(m)) is defined as (Z1, Z'1) in CSI calculation delay requirement 2.

[0222] - reportQuantity is set to 'cri-RSRP', 'ssb-Index-RSRP', 'cri-RSRP-Index', or 'ssb-Index-RSRP-Index' and X μ According to the UE reported capability beamReportTiming, KB l If follows the capability beamSwitchTiming reported by the UE, then (Z(m),Z'(m)) is defined as (Z3,Z'3) in CSI calculation delay requirement 2.

[0223] - codebookType is set to 'typeII-CJT-r18' or 'typeII-CJT-PortSelection-r18' and the corresponding NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet for channel measurements is 1 < N TRP When configured with ≦4 resources, (Z(m), Z'(m)) is defined as (Z2, Z'2) or (Z2+r, Z'2+r) according to the capabilities reported by the UE, using (Z2, Z'2) in CSI calculation delay requirement 2.

[0224] - If CSI reporting is configured with N4=1, and codebookType is set to 'typeII-Doppler-r18' or 'typeII-Doppler-PortSelection-r18', and the corresponding NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet for channel measurement is aperiodic with K CSI-RS resources, then (Z(m),Z'(m)) is defined as (Z2+14(K-1)m,Z'2) using (Z2,Z'2) in CSI computation delay requirement 2.

[0225] - When CSI reporting is configured with N4=1, and codebookType is set to 'typeII-Doppler-r18' or 'typeII-Doppler-PortSelection-r18', and the corresponding NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet for channel measurement is periodic or semi-persistent with a single CSI-RS resource, then (Z(m),Z'(m)) is defined as (Z2+w,Z'2) using (Z2,Z'2) in CSI computation delay requirement 2.

[0226] - If CSI reporting is configured with N4>1 and codebookType is set to 'typeII-Doppler-r18' or 'typeII-Doppler-PortSelection-r18' and the corresponding NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet for channel measurement is aperiodic with K CSI-RS resources, then (Z(m),Z'(m)) is defined as (Z2+14(K-1)m,Z'2) or (Z2+14(K-1)m+r,Z'2+r) according to the capabilities reported by the UE, using (Z2,Z'2) in CSI computation delay requirement 2.

[0227] If CSI reporting is configured with N4>1, and codebookType is set to 'typeII-Doppler-r18' or 'typeII-Doppler-PortSelection-r18', and the corresponding NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet for channel measurement is periodic or semi-persistent with a single CSI-RS resource, then (Z(m),Z'(m)) is defined as (Z2+w,Z'2) according to the capabilities reported by the UE, using (Z2,Z'2) in CSI computation delay requirement 2. It is defined as (Z2+14(K-1)m,Z'2) or (Z2+14(K-1)m+r,Z'2+r) according to the capabilities reported by the UE.

[0228] - μ for CSI calculation delay requirements 1 and 2 is min(μ PDCCH ,μ CSI-RS ,μ UL ) where μPDCCH μ corresponds to the subcarrier spacing of the PDCCH on which the DCI is transmitted. UL μ corresponds to the subcarrier spacing of the PUSCH over which the CSI report will be transmitted. CSI-RS corresponds to the minimum subcarrier spacing of the A-CSI-RS triggered by the DCI.

[0229] In improving the Rel. 18 Type 2 codebook for CJT multi-TRP, N TRP For =1, (Z,Z') reuses the existing (Z,Z') value, and N TRP For capability 1, (Z,Z') reuses the existing (Z,Z') value, and for capability 2, (Z,Z') is the existing (Z,Z') value + r, and the value of r > 0 is the N that is configured. TRP It is being considered that the value may be dependent.

[0230] In this disclosure, Z ref , Z' ref (n), Z, Z', Z(m), Z'(m), the number of symbols from the end of the last symbol of the PDCCH that triggers a CSI report to the symbol at which UL transmission of that CSI report can begin, may be read interchangeably.

[0231] (CSI-RS) In Rel. 15, for example, the CSI-RS is used as a DL RS for at least one of channel state information (CSI) acquisition, beam management (BM), beam failure recovery (BFR), and fine time and frequency tracking. The CSI-RS supports 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 32 ports (antenna ports, CSI-RS ports). The CSI-RS supports periodic, semi-persistent, and aperiodic transmission. The frequency density of the CSI-RS is configurable to adjust overhead and CSI estimation accuracy.

[0232] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the location of CSI-RSs within a slot. Each row in the table indicates a row number, the number of ports, the frequency domain density, the CDM type, the time and frequency (time / frequency) location (the location of the component resource (k bar, l bar)), the code division multiplexing (CDM) group index, and the location of each resource within the component resource ((RE, symbol), (k', l')). Here, the time / frequency location is the location of the time and frequency resource (component resource) of the CSI-RS corresponding to one port. The notation k bar is an overlined "k." The k bar indicates the starting resource element (RE) index of the component resource, and the l bar indicates the starting symbol (OFDM symbol) index of the component resource.

[0233] CDM groups include no CDM (no CDM, N / A), FD-CDM2, CDM4, and CDM8. FD-CDM2 multiplexes two-port CSI-RSs at the same time and frequency by multiplying a frequency domain (FD)-orthogonal cover code (OCC) of length 2 on an RE-by-RE basis (FD2). CDM4 multiplexes four-port CSI-RSs at the same time and frequency by multiplying a length-2 FD-OCC with a length-2 time domain (TD)-OCC on an RE-by-symbol basis (FD2TD2). CDM8 multiplexes eight-port CSI-RSs at the same time and frequency by multiplying a length-2 FD-OCC with a length-4 TD-OCC on an RE-by-symbol basis (FD2TD4).

[0234] 2A to 2D are diagrams showing examples of FD-OCC and TD-OCC. The FD-OCC series is ｆ (k'), and the TD-OCC series is w ｔ (k'). Figure 2A shows the case where the CDM type is no CDM. Figure 2B shows the case where the CDM type is FD-CDM2. Figure 2C shows the case where the CDM type is CDM4. Figure 2D shows the case where the CDM type is CDM8.

[0235] Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of CSI-RS positions for each number of ports based on Fig. 1. This diagram shows the frequency density, component resource size (size in the frequency direction [RE], size in the time direction [symbol]), and CDM type for each number of ports.

[0236] For example, Figure 4 shows an example of resource element (RE) mapping of CSI-RS in which the number of ports is set to 32 and the component resource size is set to 2 subcarriers x 2 symbols (row index 17 in Figure 1). In the frequency domain and time domain of 1 physical resource block (PRB) x 1 slot, 4 component resources of 2 subcarriers x 2 symbols are multiplexed (frequency division multiplexing (FDM)) in the frequency domain and 2 component resources are multiplexed (time division multiplexing (TDM)) in the time domain, thereby mapping 4 x 2 component resources. Furthermore, the CSI-RS in each component resource is multiplied by a 2-subcarrier FD-OCC and a 2-symbol TD-OCC, thereby multiplexing 4 CSI-RS (code division multiplexing (CDM)) (CDM4, FD2TD2). Therefore, 32-port CSI-RS are transmitted in a resource of 1 PRB x 1 slot.

[0237] Since the maximum number of CSI-RS ports, 32, is greater than the maximum number of layers, 8, the UE can measure many channel conditions, improving measurement accuracy.

[0238] In Rel. 19 and later, massive MIMO using more than 32 ports is being considered.

[0239] (Considerations) The following considerations are possible: <Consideration 1> The base station antenna layout and settings have not been sufficiently considered for more than 32 CSI-RS ports. <Consideration 2> The types of codebooks / CSI supported for more than 32 CSI-RS ports have not been sufficiently considered.

[0240] If these considerations are not made clear, there is a risk that communication quality / throughput will decline.

[0241] Therefore, the present inventors have conceived a method for setting / reporting more CSI-RS ports.

[0258] (Wireless Communication Method) <Embodiment A1> <Inter-PRB OCC> An OCC spanning multiple PRBs (frequency-domain OCC, inter-PRB OCC (inter-PRB OCC)) may be applied to the CSI-RS. Each value (element) in the inter-PRB OCC may be applied to each PRB. Each value in the inter-PRB OCC may be applied to more than one PRB. Each value in the inter-PRB OCC may be applied to each precoding resource block group (PRG).

[0259] A PRG may be consecutive PRBs to which the same DL precoding is applied. The UE may assume that the same precoding is applied to consecutive DL allocations of multiple PRBs within a PRG.

[0260] The inter-PRB OCC may be applied to consecutive PRBs, for example, as shown in Figure 5A, an inter-PRB OCC of length 2 may be applied to PRB #0 and PRB #1.

[0261] Inter-PRB OCC may be applied to non-consecutive PRBs. The non-consecutive PRBs may be PRBs with even PRB indices among the multiple PRBs configured in the CSI-RS resources, PRBs with odd PRB indices among the multiple PRBs configured in the CSI-RS resources, PRBs with a certain number of PRB intervals among the multiple PRBs configured in the CSI-RS resources, a comb configuration for the multiple PRBs configured in the CSI-RS resources, or may be specified in order from the lowest PRB (PRB with the smallest index) or the highest PRB (PRB with the largest index) among the multiple PRBs configured in the CSI-RS resources.

[0262] For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, an inter-PRB OCC [w f (0) w f (1)] may be applied to PRB#0 and PRB#2 with even PRB indices. f (0) w f (1)] may be [+1 +1] or [+1 −1].

[0263] When the CSI-RS is mapped only to PRBs with odd PRB indices or PRBs with even PRB indices, inter-PRB OCC may not be applied. When the CSI-RS is mapped only to PRBs with odd PRB indices or PRBs with even PRB indices, inter-PRB OCC may be applied.

[0264] For each inter-PRB OCC length, an association (e.g., a table) between the OCC index i and the inter-PRB OCC value may be defined. Each inter-PRB OCC value may be defined using a cyclic shift α (e.g., exp(jα·m), exp(j2πφ(m) / N), etc.).

[0265] If the inter-PRB OCC length is 2, the inter-PRB OCC may be a Rel. 15 time-domain OCC (double-symbol OCC). The inter-PRB OCC may be defined with a cyclic shift α={0,π}.

[0266] When the inter-PRB OCC length is 4, the inter-PRB OCC may be defined by a table or may be defined using a cyclic shift. The inter-PRB OCC may be defined using a cyclic shift α={0, π / 2, π, 3π / 2}.

[0267] When the inter-PRB OCC length is 3, the inter-PRB OCC may be defined using a cyclic shift α={0, π / 3, 2π / 3} or by a table containing values ​​resulting from the cyclic shift. The cyclic shift α may be {0, −π / 3, −2π / 3}.

[0268] For example, based on the table of Figure 6A, a CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC [+1 +1] with OCC index = 0 is applied is the same as a CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC is not applied, and is therefore received and measured by the same operations as in Rel. 15 and is received by Rel. 15 UEs and new release UEs. A CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC [+1 -1] with OCC index = 1 is applied is received and measured only by new release UEs.

[0269] For example, based on the table of Figure 6B, a CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC [exp(j0 * 0) exp(j0 * 1) exp(j0 * 2)] (same as [+1 +1 +1]) with OCC index = 0 is applied is the same as a CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC is not applied, and is therefore received and measured by the same operation as in Rel. 15 and is received by Rel. 15 UEs and new release UEs. CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC with OCC index = 1 or 2 is applied is received and measured only by new release UEs.

[0270] For example, based on the table of Figure 6C, a CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC [+1 +1 +1 +1] with OCC index = 0 is applied is the same as a CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC is not applied, and is therefore received and measured by the same operation as in Rel. 15 and is received by Rel. 15 UEs and new release UEs. CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC with OCC index = 1, 2, or 3 is applied is received and measured only by new release UEs.

[0271] <UE Operation> A UE that supports inter-PRB OCC (e.g., a new release UE) may measure the CSI-RS obtained by multiplying a value in the inter-PRB OCC for each PRB and adding the obtained multiple multiplication results (in-phase combining).

[0272] A UE that does not support inter-PRB OCC or is not configured with inter-PRB OCC (e.g., an older release UE) may measure the CSI-RS obtained by adding up the received signals of each PRB of multiple PRBs.

[0273] The UE does not need to assume that the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC is applied only partially overlap with the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS of another UE. For example, as shown in FIG. 7A , the UE does not need to assume a case in which the new release CSI-RS is mapped to PRBs #0 and #1 to apply inter-PRB OCC, and the old release CSI-RS is mapped to PRB #1. In such a case, the new release CSI-RS and the old release CSI-RS are not orthogonal (cannot be separated by the UE).

[0274] All of the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC is applied may overlap with all of the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS of other UEs. For example, as shown in Figure 7B, the new release CSI-RS may be mapped to PRBs #0 and #1 to apply inter-PRB OCC, and the old release CSI-RS may be mapped to PRBs #0 and #1. In such a case, the new release CSI-RS and the old release CSI-RS are orthogonal (can be separated by the UE).

[0275] The transmission bandwidth (number of PRBs) of the CSI-RS may be a multiple of the inter-PRB OCC length. The UE may assume that the transmission bandwidth (number of PRBs) of the CSI-RS is a multiple of the inter-PRB OCC length. The UE may measure the CSI-RS by applying the inter-PRB OCC over a bandwidth that is a multiple of the inter-PRB OCC length.

[0276] By summing the received signals per PRB over multiples of the inter-PRB OCC length, an older release UE can measure only the CSI-RS where inter-PRB OCC does not apply (corresponding to inter-PRB OCCs with all +1 values) and can filter out the CSI-RS corresponding to other inter-PRB OCCs.

[0277] If the transmission bandwidth of the CSI-RS is not a multiple of the inter-PRB OCC length, the UE may measure only the bandwidth of the CSI-RS that is a multiple of the inter-PRB OCC length, and may not measure the remaining band. For example, if the inter-PRB OCC length is 2, the UE may apply the inter-PRB OCC to the received signal of the CSI-RS resource every two PRBs (the corresponding value of the inter-PRB OCC may be applied to the received signal of each of the two PRBs). The UE may not measure the remaining band that is smaller than two PRBs.

[0278] Even in a case such as that shown in Figure 7B above, if an older release UE does not know the inter-PRB OCC length, it may not be able to measure the CSI-RS properly, and the new release CSI-RS may cause interference.

[0279] For multiple CSI-RSs transmitted using the same precoding, in the absence of channel fluctuations, the measurement accuracy of the CSI-RSs is improved by combining the CSI-RSs in phase.

[0280] The old release UE may in-phase combine the received signal (complex number) of the CSI-RS for each PRB in the PRG. By this operation, the old release UE can measure the CSI-RS by the same receiving operation as when all +1 inter-PRB OCC is applied, even if it does not know that inter-PRB OCC is applied. Therefore, the old release CSI-RS and the new release CSI-RS are orthogonalized.

[0281] The inter-PRB OCC length may be the number of PRBs in a PRG. Alternatively, the CSI-RS may be mapped to all PRBs in a PRG and the inter-PRB OCC may be applied.

[0282] The inter-PRB OCC length may be the number of PRBs to which the CSI-RS is mapped in the PRG. For example, assume that one PRG is 4 PRBs, the CSI-RS is mapped to 2 PRBs in the PRG, and the inter-PRB OCC length is 2. In this case, the old release UE performs reception operations equivalent to when inter-RB OCC [+1 +1] is applied by in-phase combining the received signal of the CSI-RS in the PRG and measuring the CSI-RS, even if it does not know that inter-PRB OCC has been applied. This allows the old release UE to suppress interference from the new release CSI-RS and measure the old release CSI-RS. In this case, since the new release UE knows that inter-PRB OCC has been applied, it applies inter-PRB OCC [+1 -1] and in-phase combines the received signal of the CSI-RS in the PRG to measure the CSI-RS. This allows the new release UE to measure the new release CSI-RS while reducing interference from the old release CSI-RS.

[0283] If the number of PRBs in a PRG is not a multiple of the inter-PRB OCC length, the UE may measure only the bandwidth of the PRG that is a multiple of the inter-PRB OCC length, and not measure the remaining bandwidth.

[0284] [Measurement of the Entire Resource Range] A CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC is applied may be transmitted to another UE in the same time and frequency resources as a CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC is applied or a CSI-RS to which inter-PRB OCC is not applied. A UE may measure a CSI-RS corresponding to a specific inter-PRB OCC by receiving a CSI-RS within a resource range (e.g., a band) to which inter-PRB OCC may be applied.

[0285] In the example of Figure 8, CSI-RS #0-0 in PRB #0 and CSI-RS #1-0 in PRB #1 are mapped to the same position in the same slot within each PRB and have the same CSI-RS sequence (transmission signal sequence).

[0286] A UE configured with CSI-RS resources to which inter-PRB OCC (e.g., [+1 +1]) with all values ​​of +1 is applied, or a UE configured with CSI-RS resources to which inter-PRB OCC is not applied, may measure the CSI-RS in each PRB without using the inter-PRB OCC, provided that the CSI-RS of other UEs multiplexed onto the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS is not transmitted.

[0287] If inter-PRB OCC may be applied, the UE cannot accurately measure the CSI-RS in each PRB without knowing the inter-PRB OCC.

[0288] Within a resource range where an inter-PRB OCC may be applied, the UE may measure the CSI-RS corresponding to the particular inter-PRB OCC by applying the particular inter-PRB OCC, all of which have a value of +1, to the entire received signal in the resource range.

[0289] A resource range in which inter-PRB OCC may be applied may be specified in a specification or may be configured in a UE by higher layer signaling. The resource range may be indicated in units of 2 PRBs (a pair of an even PRB index and an odd PRB index), 3 PRBs, or 4 PRBs. The UE may determine the resource range in which inter-PRB OCC is applied based on the configured CSI-RS resource band (PRB).

[0290] The UE may be notified of whether inter-PRB OCC is applied by at least one of higher layer signaling, MAC CE, and DCI. The UE may switch its reception operation according to this notification. For example, a UE notified that inter-PRB OCC is not applied (or that CSI-RS for other UEs are not multiplexed into the CSI-RS time and frequency resources) may measure the CSI-RS in each of at least one PRB within the resource range, or may in-phase combine multiple PRBs within the CSI-RS resource. For example, a UE notified that inter-PRB OCC is applied (or that CSI-RS for other UEs are multiplexed into the CSI-RS time and frequency resources) may identify the inter-PRB OCC based on the received signals of all PRBs and measure the CSI-RS to which the identified inter-PRB OCC is applied.

[0291] According to this embodiment, by applying inter-PRB OCC to CSI-RSs across multiple PRBs, it is possible to increase the number of orthogonalized (multiplexed) CSI-RSs (ports).

[0292] <Embodiment A2> <Inter-Time-Field OCC> An OCC spanning multiple time fields in the time domain (time-domain OCC, inter-time-field OCC) may be applied to the CSI-RS. Each value (element) in the inter-time-field OCC may be applied to each time field (period). The time field may be any of a subframe, slot, subslot, minislot, or symbol. The time field may be longer than a symbol.

[0293] An inter-time field OCC may be applied to consecutive time fields. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, if the time fields are slots and an inter-slot OCC of length 2 [w t (0) w t (1)] may be applied to slot #0 and slot #1. t (0) w t (1)] may be [+1 +1] or [+1 −1].

[0294] For the inter-time field OCC, similarly to the inter-PRB OCC of embodiment A1, an association (e.g., a table) between the OCC index i and the inter-time field OCC value may be defined for each inter-time field OCC length. Each value of the inter-time field OCC may be defined using a cyclic shift α (e.g., exp(jα·m), exp(j2πφ(m) / N), etc.). When the OCC length is 2, each value of the inter-time field OCC may be defined using a cyclic shift α={0, π}. When the OCC length is 3, the OCC may be defined using a cyclic shift α={0, π / 3, 2π / 3} or may be defined by a table containing values ​​obtained from the cyclic shift. The cyclic shift α may be {0, −π / 3, −2π / 3}. When the OCC length is 4, the OCC may be defined by a table or may be defined using a cyclic shift α={0, π / 2, π, 3π / 2}. As in the case where the OCC length is 3, the order of the values ​​of the cyclic shift α may be reversed.

[0295] The inter-time field OCC may be applied to non-consecutive time fields, which may be multiple time fields with even indexes within a period configured for the CSI-RS resources, multiple time fields with odd indexes within a period configured for the CSI-RS resources, multiple time fields spaced apart by a certain number of time fields within a period configured for the CSI-RS resources, or may be specified in order from the earliest (smallest index) or latest (largest index) time field within a period configured for the CSI-RS resources.

[0296] When the CSI-RS is mapped only to the time fields with odd indices or the time fields with even indices, the inter-time-field OCC may not be applied. When the CSI-RS is mapped only to the time fields with odd indices or the time fields with even indices, the inter-time-field OCC may be applied. In this case, orthogonality other than the inter-time-field OCC can be maintained, and degradation of measurement quality can be prevented.

[0297] The inter-time-field OCC length may be the number of time fields (eg, slots) within an application period (eg, radio frame) consisting of a given number of time fields.

[0298] If sequence hopping of CSI-RS is performed within the application period, it is possible that the orthogonality between multiple inter-time-field OCCs multiplexed within the application period may be lost. Therefore, sequence hopping may be stopped in a resource range where the inter-time-field OCC may be applied.

[0299] The CSI-RS sequence may be a pseudo-random sequence (a pseudo-noise (PN) sequence, for example, a Gold sequence, a Gold sequence of length 31, or an M sequence). In Rel. 15, the initial value c used to determine the CSI-RS sequence is init is based on the slot index and the symbol index.

[0300] If inter-time field OCC (inter-slot OCC) is applied between slots over the application period, sequence hopping within the application period may be stopped (c of the first or last symbol init may be applied to all symbols within the application period).

[0301] c init Since is set uniquely to the UE, the network (e.g., base station) can set c init A scrambling ID (e.g., scramblingID) for may be configured in the UE by higher layer signaling.

[0302] <UE Operation> A UE that supports inter-time-field OCC (e.g., a new release UE) may measure the CSI-RS obtained by multiplying the values ​​in the inter-time-field OCC for each time field and adding the multiplication results (in-phase combining).

[0303] A UE that does not support inter-time-field OCC or is not configured for inter-time-field OCC (e.g., an older release UE) may measure the CSI-RS obtained by adding the received signals of each time field of multiple time fields.

[0304] The UE does not need to assume that the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS to which inter-time field OCC is applied overlap with part of the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS of other UEs.

[0305] All of the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS to which inter-time field OCC is applied may overlap with all of the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS of other UEs.

[0306] The duration (number of time fields) of the CSI-RS may be a multiple of the OCC length between time fields.

[0307] An older release UE can measure only the CSI-RS for which the inter-time field OCC does not apply (corresponding to the inter-time field OCCs with all +1 values) by summing the received signals for each time field over multiples of the inter-time field OCC length, and can filter out the CSI-RS corresponding to other inter-time field OCCs.

[0308] If the transmission bandwidth of the CSI-RS is not a multiple of the inter-time-field OCC length, the UE may measure only the period of the CSI-RS that is a multiple of the inter-time-field OCC length, and not measure the remaining period.

[0309] [Measurement of the Entire Resource Range] A CSI-RS to which an inter-time-field OCC is applied may be transmitted to another UE in the same time and frequency resources as a CSI-RS to which an inter-time-field OCC is applied or a CSI-RS to which an inter-time-field OCC is not applied. A UE may measure a CSI-RS corresponding to a specific inter-time-field OCC by receiving a CSI-RS within a resource range (e.g., a period) to which the inter-time-field OCC may be applied.

[0310] A UE configured with CSI-RS resources to which inter-time-field OCCs with all values ​​of +1 (e.g., [+1 +1]) are applied, or a UE configured with CSI-RS resources to which no inter-time-field OCC is applied, may measure the CSI-RS in each time field without using the inter-time-field OCC, provided that no CSI-RS of other UEs multiplexed onto the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS is transmitted.

[0311] If an inter-time-field OCC may be applied, the UE cannot accurately measure the CSI-RS in each time field without knowing the inter-time-field OCC.

[0312] Within a resource range where an inter-time-field OCC may be applied, the UE may measure the CSI-RS corresponding to the particular inter-time-field OCC by applying the particular inter-time-field OCC, which has all values ​​of +1, to the entire received signal in the resource range.

[0313] The resource range to which the inter-time-field OCC may be applied may be specified in the specification or may be configured in the UE by higher layer signaling. The resource range may be indicated in units of two time fields (a pair of an even time field index and an odd time field index), three time fields, or four time fields. The UE may determine the resource range to which the inter-time-field OCC may be applied based on the duration (number of symbols) of the configured CSI-RS resource.

[0314] The UE may be notified of whether inter-time-field OCC is applied by at least one of higher layer signaling, MAC CE, and DCI. The UE may switch its reception operation according to this notification. For example, a UE notified that inter-time-field OCC is not applied (or that CSI-RSs for other UEs are not multiplexed into the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS) may measure the CSI-RS in each of at least one time field within the resource range, or may perform in-phase combining of multiple time fields within the CSI-RS resource. For example, a UE notified that inter-time-field OCC is applied (or that CSI-RSs for other UEs are multiplexed into the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS) may identify the inter-time-field OCC based on the received signals of all time fields and measure the CSI-RS to which the identified inter-time-field OCC is applied.

[0315] According to this embodiment, by applying inter-time-field OCC to CSI-RSs across multiple time fields, the number of orthogonalized (multiplexed) CSI-RSs (ports) can be increased.

[0316] <Embodiment A3> Rel. 15 supports up to 32 CSI-RS ports using 32 resources (REs, subcarriers × symbols) within one PRB. The number of CSI-RS ports may be increased by increasing the time and frequency resources per PRB.

[0317] The UE may receive the CSI-RS using at least one resource (time and frequency resource) not used for the CSI-RS (existing CSI-RS resource) of Rel. 15. As shown in Fig. 10, new CSI-RS resources (additional CSI-RS resources) may be defined for symbols #2, #3, #9, and #10 in addition to the existing CSI-RS resources. As a result, 64 REs of CSI-RS resources are used within one PRB, and can be associated with 64 ports.

[0318] At least one of a time domain OCC and a frequency domain OCC may be applied to the additional CSI-RS resources.

[0319] To maintain compatibility with Rel. 15, at least one of the time-domain OCC and the frequency-domain OCC of Rel. 15 may be applied to the CSI-RS, and then at least one of the additional time-domain OCC and the frequency-domain OCC (additional OCC) may be applied.

[0320] For example, as shown in Figure 11, after at least one of the time-domain OCC and the frequency-domain OCC of Rel. 15 is applied to the existing CSI-RS resources and the additional CSI-RS resources in Figure 10, an additional time-domain OCC w t '(m) is applied. t '(0) w t '(1)] may be [+1 +1] or [+1 −1]. Each value of the additional time-domain OCC may be applied every two symbols.

[0321] In this example, symbols #4 and #5 are t '(0) is applied to symbols #2 and #3. t '(1) is applied, and symbols #11 and #12 are t '(0) is applied to symbols #9 and #10. t '(1) applies.

[0322] The first value of the additional OCC (e.g., w t '(0)) is always +1, and the value of CSI-RS does not change even when an additional OCC is applied. Therefore, the first value of the additional OCC (for example, w t '(0)) is applied to the additional CSI-RS resource, and the value after the beginning of the additional OCC (for example, w t '(1)) may be applied, which allows the old release UE to measure the CSI-RS and increases the number of ports for the new release CSI-RS.

[0323] [w t '(0) w t'(1)] may be applied in order from a larger symbol index to a smaller symbol index, or from a smaller symbol index to a larger symbol index. For example, if w is applied to symbols #2 and #3, t '(0) is applied to symbols #4 and #5. t '(1) may apply.

[0324] According to this embodiment, it is possible to increase the time and frequency resources for CSI-RS and increase the number of CSI-RS ports.

[0325] Embodiment A4 In Rel. 15, the UE does not assume that the REs for the CSI-RS are the same as the REs for the DMRS, which reduces the flexibility of the configuration of at least one of the CSI-RS and the DMRS.

[0326] The CSI-RS may be punctured.

[0327] In the present disclosure, puncturing the CSI-RS, not mapping the CSI-RS to some of the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS, and not transmitting some of the CSI-RS may be interpreted as interchangeable.

[0328] In resources to which the CSI-RS for a certain UE is not mapped due to puncturing, a signal (eg, CSI-RS) for another UE may be transmitted.

[0329] Puncturing may be performed in units of a certain size of time and frequency resources (eg, component resources, resources to which frequency-domain OCC is applied, or resources to which time-domain OCC is applied).

[0330] The CSI-RS may be transmitted based on at least one of the following CSI-RS resource control methods 1 to 3.

[0331] <<CSI-RS Resource Control Method 1>> The NZP-CSI-RS may be punctured in the configured zero power (ZP)-CSI-RS. The NZP-CSI-RS may be mapped to resources configured for the NZP-CSI-RS, excluding the resources configured for the ZP-CSI-RS.

[0332] When the time and frequency resources of the ZP-CSI-RS and the time and frequency resources of the NZP-CSI-RS at least partially overlap, the UE may not receive the NZP-CSI-RS in the overlapping REs, may not receive the NZP-CSI-RS in the overlapping PRBs, may not receive the ZP-CSI-RS in the overlapping REs, may not receive the ZP-CSI-RS in the overlapping PRBs, may not assume that a DMRS will be configured (or mapped) on the overlapping resources, may measure (receive) at least one of the ZP-CSI-RS and the NZP-CSI-RS on the overlapping resources when a DMRS is configured (or mapped) on the overlapping resources, or may measure (receive) the DMRS on the overlapping resources when a DMRS is configured (or mapped) on the overlapping resources.

[0333] <<CSI-RS Resource Control Method 2>> The UE may be notified of a bitmap indicating puncturing positions (e.g., at least one of time and frequency positions) among the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS. The bitmap may be included in the CSI-RS resources. The UE may puncture the CSI-RS at the positions indicated by the bitmap. The UE may puncture the NZP-CSI-RS or the ZP-CSI-RS at the positions indicated by the bitmap.

[0334] Each bit in the bitmap may correspond to an RE (subcarrier) or a PRB. The UE may not receive the NZP-CSI-RS in the RE indicated by the bitmap, or may not receive the NZP-CSI-RS in the PRB indicated by the bitmap. The UE may not receive the ZP-CSI-RS in the RE indicated by the bitmap, or may not receive the ZP-CSI-RS in the PRB indicated by the bitmap. A DMRS may not be configured (or mapped) to the resource indicated by the bitmap. The UE may not assume that a DMRS will be configured (or mapped) to the resource indicated by the bitmap. A DMRS may be configured (or mapped) to the resource indicated by the bitmap, and the UE may receive or measure the DMRS on the resource indicated by the bitmap.

[0335] <<CSI-RS Resource Control Method 3>> When the CSI-RS is punctured based on CSI-RS Resource Control Method 1 or 2, the PDSCH does not need to be transmitted in resources to which the CSI-RS is not mapped due to puncturing (it does not need to be mapped to the punctured position).

[0336] In a resource to which the CSI-RS is not mapped by puncturing, the PDSCH may be rate-matched or punctured, and the UE may assume that the PDSCH will be rate-matched or punctured in that resource.

[0337] In a resource to which the CSI-RS is not mapped due to puncturing, the PDSCH may not be rate-matched or punctured. The UE may assume that the PDSCH is not rate-matched or punctured in that resource. In a resource to which the CSI-RS is not mapped due to puncturing, the PDSCH may be transmitted (the PDSCH may be mapped to that resource).

[0338] The UE may be notified of the position where the PDSCH is rate matched or punctured. The position where the PDSCH is rate matched or punctured may be notified as antenna port information, may be notified as a CDM group of the CSI-RS, or may be notified as a subcarrier number (e.g., k0) and a symbol number (e.g., l0).

[0339] According to this embodiment, the CSI-RS is appropriately punctured and resources to which the CSI-RS is not mapped due to puncturing are appropriately handled, thereby increasing the flexibility of the CSI-RS configuration.

[0340] <Embodiment A5> Multiple groups of CSI-RS resources (CSI-RS resource groups) may be associated with different groups of CSI-RS ports (CSI-RS port groups).

[0341] The multiple CSI-RS resource groups may be grouped according to at least one of the following CSI-RS resource grouping methods 1 and 2.

[0342] <<CSI-RS Resource Grouping Method 1>> At least one of the time and frequency resources for the CSI-RS may be different among multiple CSI-RS resource groups.

[0343] Multiple CSI-RS resource groups may be multiplexed with one another using at least one of FDM and TDM. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, CSI-RS resource groups #0 and #1 may be TDM. CSI-RS resource group #0 may be associated with a group of CSI-RS ports #0 to #31, and CSI-RS resource group #1 may be associated with a group of CSI-RS ports #32 to #63. CSI-RS resource group #0 may be an existing CSI-RS resource, and CSI-RS resource group #1 may be an additional CSI-RS resource.

[0344] Entries (rows) containing groups of additional CSI-RS resources may be added to a table such as that of Figure 1. Entries indicating a number of ports greater than 32 may also be added to the table.

[0345] In a table showing existing CSI-RS resources and additional CSI-RS resources, additional CSI-RS resources may be added to both entries showing a port number of 32 or less (low-order port number) and entries showing a port number of more than 32 (high-order port number), or additional CSI-RS resources may be added only to entries showing a high-order port number.

[0346] The UE may be configured with additional CSI-RS resources by higher layer signaling. The UE may be configured with existing CSI-RS resources by higher layer signaling and determine the additional CSI-RS resources using at least one of a time and a frequency offset. For example, in the example of FIG. 12 , the UE may determine the additional CSI-RS resources by adding an offset of −2 symbols in the time direction to the existing CSI-RS resources.

[0347] Since multiple CSI-RS resource groups are orthogonalized by time and frequency resources, UEs can receive without using a new OCC, improving compatibility with older release UEs.

[0348] <<CSI-RS Resource Grouping Method 2>> Among multiple CSI-RS resource groups, a CSI-RS sequence and an initial value c used to determine the CSI-RS sequence are determined. init At least one of the scramble IDs for may be different.

[0349] For example, as shown in Figure 13, CSI-RS resource groups #0 and #1 may be associated with different scrambling IDs. CSI-RS resource group #0 may be associated with a group of CSI-RS ports #0 to #31, and CSI-RS resource group #1 may be associated with a group of CSI-RS ports #32 to #63. CSI-RS resource group #0 may be an existing CSI-RS resource, and CSI-RS resource group #1 may be an additional CSI-RS resource.

[0350] The association between at least one of the CSI-RS sequence and scrambling ID and at least one of the CSI-RS resource and CSI-RS port may be specified in the specification. For example, the CSI-RS of ports #0 to #X-1 may be specified in the table showing the existing CSI-RS resource (e.g., FIG. 1) and the table showing the CSI-RS resource specified in the previous release. init The CSI-RS of ports #X to #2X-1 is determined based on the table and the modified c init It may be determined based on:

[0351] c init and deformation c init may be based on different upper layer parameters (e.g., different scrambling IDs, scramblingID and scramblingID_2).

[0352] The UE is init Set a scrambling ID (e.g., a different scrambling ID) for c init Using a different calculation, based on the scramble ID, init For example, the UE may calculate a value obtained by adding a specific value to the configured scrambling ID as the modified c init As a scramble ID for init By using it in the calculation formula, the transformation c init The specific value may be a cell ID, etc. The UE may calculate the modified c by adding the specific value to the configured scrambling ID and performing a modulo operation. initmay be calculated.

[0353] In a table showing existing CSI-RS resources and additional CSI-RS resources, additional CSI-RS resources may be added to both entries showing a port number of 32 or less (low-order port number) and entries showing a port number of more than 32 (high-order port number), or additional CSI-RS resources may be added only to entries showing a high-order port number.

[0354] Since the CSI-RS sequence (pseudo-random sequence) has little correlation with other sequences, the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS associated with a low port number (e.g., a number less than half the number of ports) (e.g., existing CSI-RS resources) and the time and frequency resources of the CSI-RS associated with a high port number (e.g., a number equal to or greater than half the number of ports) (e.g., additional CSI-RS resources) may overlap in whole or in part.

[0355] The UE may be configured with additional CSI-RS resources by higher layer signaling. The UE may be configured with existing CSI-RS resources by higher layer signaling and may determine the additional CSI-RS resources using at least one offset in time and frequency. For example, in the example of FIG. 13 , the UE may determine the time and frequency resources for the additional CSI-RS by adding an offset of 0 symbols in the time direction and an offset of 0 PRBs in the frequency direction to the existing CSI-RS resources. The UE may assume that the additional CSI-RS resources completely overlap with the existing CSI-RS resources in time and frequency.

[0356] Since multiple CSI-RS resource groups are distinguished by CSI-RS sequences, UEs can receive signals without using a new OCC, improving compatibility with older release UEs. Even if the CSI-RS sequences (pseudo-random sequences) are not completely orthogonal, interference between ports can be reduced by applying different precoding (beams) between ports.

[0357] Consideration B: It may be difficult to share the same CSI-RS resources between the existing CSI-RS (e.g., up to 32 ports in Rel. 15-18) and the new CSI-RS (e.g., more than 32 ports in Rel. 19). Because the existing UEs cannot despread the new TD-OCC / FD-OCC, the base station needs to configure separate sets of CSI-RS resources for the existing (e.g., Rel. 15-18) UEs and the new (e.g., Rel. 19) UEs. This causes CSI-RS overhead. Attempts to reduce the CSI-RS overhead may limit the performance improvement of more than 32 CSI-RS ports.

[0358] <Embodiment B1> In this embodiment, more than 32 ports are not introduced for the same CSI-RS resource (time and frequency resource), and different CSI-RS resources may use different CSI-RS ports. Multiple CSI-RS resources may be aggregated for a new UE.

[0359] For example, two CSI-RS resources may be configured, with the first CSI-RS resource associated with CSI-RS ports #0 to #31 and the second CSI-RS resource associated with CSI-RS ports #32 to #63. In this case, it is easy to share the CSI-RS resources between the existing UE and the new UE. For example, only the first CSI-RS resource may be configured for the existing UE, and both the first and second CSI-RS resources may be configured for the new UE.

[0360] According to this embodiment, by changing the definition of the CSI-RS port mapping, it is possible to define more than 32 CSI-RS ports, with less impact on the specifications.

[0361] As in the example of Figure 14, CSI-RS resource #1 and CSI-RS resource #2 may be configured to be FDM-modulated, with CSI-RS resource #1 associated with CSI-RS ports #0 to #31 and CSI-RS resource #2 associated with CSI-RS ports #32 to #63.

[0362] As in the example of Figure 15, TDM CSI-RS resource #1 and CSI-RS resource #2 may be configured, CSI-RS resource #1 may be associated with CSI-RS ports #0 to #31, and CSI-RS resource #2 may be associated with CSI-RS ports #32 to #63.

[0363] The size of the time resource of each CSI-RS resource may be slot / subslot / subframe. The size of the frequency resource of each CSI-RS resource may be PRB / 2 N Alternatively, the number of consecutive PRBs may be N (N=-2, -1, 1, 2, ...).

[0364] A method for mapping more than 32 CSI-RS ports across multiple CSI-RS resources may be according to at least one of several embodiments B1-X below.

[0365] <<Embodiment B1-1>> When a UE is configured with higher layer parameters enabling more than 32 CSI-RS ports and with x CSI-RS ports and y CSI-RS resources, the UE may map the CSI-RS ports according to at least one of the following rules. x may be less than or equal to 32. - The first resource of the y CSI-RS resources (or a CSI-RS resource set) is mapped to CSI-RS ports #0 to #x-1. - The second resource of the y CSI-RS resources (or a CSI-RS resource set) is mapped to CSI-RS ports #x to #2x-1. - The third resource of the y CSI-RS resources (or a CSI-RS resource set) is mapped to CSI-RS ports #2x to #3x-1. The i-th resource in the y CSI-RS resources (or CSI-RS resource set) is mapped to CSI-RS ports #(i-1)x to #ix-1, where the i-th resource may be the CSI-RS resource corresponding to the i-th time resource (e.g., slot) or the CSI-RS resource corresponding to the i-th frequency resource (e.g., PRB).

[0366] <<Embodiment B1-2>> Multiple aggregated CSI-RS resources may be associated with more than 32 CSI-RS ports. Each CSI-RS resource may be associated with 32 or fewer CSI-RS ports. The multiple CSI-RS resources for aggregation may comply with at least one constraint from several of the following options: - Option 1: The number of CSI-RS resources for aggregation is M. For example, M may be 2. - Option 2: The number of ports associated with each CSI-RS resource for aggregation is fixed to N or is greater than O (equal to or greater than O). For example, N may be 32. For example, O may be 16. - Option 3: Multiple CSI-RS resources for aggregation are configured within the same CSI-RS resource set or CSI-RS resource group. - Option 4: Multiple CSI-RS resources for aggregation may have the same configuration of at least one of density, number of ports, time operation setting, frequency resource allocation, time resource allocation, QCL assumption, scrambling ID, and new scrambling ID. The time operation setting may indicate a P, SP, or AP. The frequency resource allocation may be at the wideband level or the RB level. The wideband level may be the number of PRBs and the starting PRB. The time resource allocation may be at the slot level. The QCL assumption may be an associated SSB. Multiple CSI-RS resources for aggregation may have different configurations of at least one of time resource allocation, frequency resource allocation, and scrambling ID. - Option 5: Multiple CSI-RS resources for aggregation may be located in M ​​or fewer consecutive slots or in consecutive / comb-like frequency resources. Example: M=2 CSI-RS resources may be aggregated and associated with 64 CSI-RS ports, and each CSI-RS resource may be associated with 32 CSI-RS ports.The two CSI-RS resources are in the same CSI-RS resource set or CSI-RS resource group, have the same frequency resource configuration, and are respectively arranged in two consecutive slots.

[0367] <<Embodiment B1-3>> In an aggregated multiple CSI-RS resource having more than 32 ports, some parameters may be additionally configured or existing parameters may be overwritten. For example, the some parameters may be at least one of density, new scrambling ID, number of PRBs, and starting PRB. To reduce the complexity of UE measurements, a density smaller than the existing density may be configured.

[0368] <Base Station Antenna Layout> Figure 16 shows a table relating the supported number of CSI-RS ports to the base station antenna layout ((N1, N2) and (O1, O2) settings) for a single panel in the existing specifications. Figure 17 shows a table relating the supported number of CSI-RS ports to the base station antenna layout ((N g , N1, N2) and (O1, O2) settings).

[0369] <Configuration / Measurement / Reporting of CSI> The UE may acquire CSI by measuring a CSI-RS (resource) using a port to which at least one of embodiments A1 to A5 and embodiment B1 is applied. The configuration / reporting of the CSI may follow at least one of the following embodiments.

[0370] <Embodiment C1> This embodiment relates to the above-mentioned study 1.

[0371] The novel antenna layout and configuration for CSI-RS with more than 32 ports may follow at least one of the following options:

[0372] - Option 1: A new (N1,N2) and a new (O1,O2) may be defined in the specification and configured in the UE. A new row may be added to the existing table. The new row may be used only if a CSI-RS with more than 32 ports for the CSI codebook is configured. A new table separate from the existing table may be added. The new table may be used only if a CSI-RS with more than 32 ports for the CSI codebook is configured, otherwise the existing table may be used.

[0373] 18 shows an example of a configuration according to Option 1 of embodiment C1. At least one row in this table may be supported. This table shows multiple combinations (rows) of the number of CSI-RS ports (>32), (N1, N2), and (O1, O2).

[0374] - Option 2 (similar to the setting for multi-panel), N is combined with at least one value of existing (N1,N2) and existing (O1,O2). g A new parameter ng indicating the parameter ng may be added to the configuration. The new configuration may be defined in the specification and configured to the UE.

[0375] N g may be set as a separate parameter from the (N1, N2) setting. For example, N g Two parameters ng and n1-n2 may be set, which respectively indicate the number of CSI-RS ports (>32) and (N1, N2). Figure 19 shows a first example of the setting according to option 2 of embodiment C1. At least one combination in this table may be supported. This table specifies the number of CSI-RS ports (>32) and N g This shows multiple combinations of existing (N1, N2) and (O1, O2). Different (N1, N2) may be included in separate lines. As with the example of Option 1, different (O1, O2) may be different for different (N1, N2). Lines marked with * may not be needed by reusing / reusing existing settings for many ports.

[0376] Ng may be set as a new parameter joint with the (N1,N2) setting. For example, (N g , N1, N2) may be configured. FIG. 20 shows a second example of the configuration according to option 2 of embodiment C1. At least one row in this table may be supported. This table specifies the number of CSI-RS ports (>32) and the number of new (N g ,N1,N2) and (O1,O2). For the * lines, by reusing / repurposing the settings of existing ports with many ports, the * lines may not be needed.

[0377] The UE is g It may be appreciated that only one dimension is extended by a value. As an example of FIG. 21A, an antenna layout for 64 ports (N g ,N1,N2)=(2,8,2) may mean two antenna layouts (N1,N2)=(8,2) in the horizontal direction. g ,N1,N2)=(4,8,2) may mean a four antenna layout (N1,N2)=(8,2) in the horizontal direction. In these examples, the spacing between two adjacent antenna elements in the horizontal or vertical direction is d.

[0378] - Option 3 (N1, N2) combined with at least one value of existing (O1, O2) g1 ,N g2 A new parameter ng1-ng2 indicating the number of times the UE is connected to the UE may be added to the configuration. The new configuration may be defined in the specification and configured to the UE.

[0379] (N g1 ,N g2 ) may be set as a separate parameter from the (N1, N2) setting. For example, (N g1 ,N g2Two parameters ng1-ng2 and n1-n2 may be set, which respectively indicate the number of CSI-RS ports (>32) and (N g1 ,N g2 ), existing (N1, N2), and (O1, O2). For the lines marked with *, by reusing / repurposing the settings of existing ports with many existing ports, the lines marked with * may not be needed.

[0380] (N g1 ,N g2 ) may be set as a new parameter joint with the (N1,N2) setting. For example, (N g1 ,N g2 , N1, N2) may be configured. FIG. 23 shows a second example of the configuration according to option 3 of embodiment C1. At least one row in this table may be supported. This table specifies the number of CSI-RS ports (>32) and the number of new (N g1 ,N g2 ,N1,N2) and (O1,O2). For the * lines, by reusing / repurposing the settings of existing ports with many ports, the * lines may not be needed.

[0381] The UE is (N g1 ,N g2 ) values ​​may be recognized as extending two dimensions. g1 may correspond to N1 (horizontal direction), and N g2 may correspond to N2 (vertical direction). As an example of FIG. 24A, the antenna layout for 128 ports (N g1 ,N g2 ,N1,N2)=(2,2,8,2) may mean an antenna layout (N1,N2)=(8,2) with two horizontal and two vertical antennas. g1 ,N g2,N1,N2)=(4,1,8,2) may mean an antenna layout (N1,N2)=(8,2) with four horizontal and one vertical antenna elements. In these examples, the spacing between two horizontally or vertically adjacent antenna elements is d.

[0382] <<Variations>> The values ​​of (O1,O2) for each value of (N1,N2) may be defined in the specification or may be configurable. The values ​​of (O1,O2) may follow at least one of the following options: - Option 1: The values ​​of (O1,O2) are common to all ranks (number of layers). - Option 2: The values ​​of (O1,O2) are different for different ranks. For example, for lower ranks, (O1,O2) have larger values, and for higher ranks, (O1,O2) have smaller values. For example, when (N1,N2)=(16,2), (O1,O2)=(4,4) for ranks 1 to 2, and (O1,O2)=(1,1) for ranks 3 to 8.

[0383] According to this embodiment, the UE can be properly configured with a base station antenna layout for CSI-RS that uses more than 32 ports.

[0384] <Embodiment C2> This embodiment relates to the above-mentioned study 2.

[0385] With a CSI-RS that uses more than 32 ports, at least one of the following CSI / codebooks may be supported or configured: - Rel. 15 Type 1 CSI (Type 1 single panel codebook) - Rel. 15 Type 1 multi-panel CSI (Type 1 multi-panel codebook) - Rel. 15 Type 2 CSI (Type 2 codebook) - Rel. 15 Type 2 PS CSI (Type 2 port selective codebook) - Rel. 16 Type 2 CSI (Extended Type 2 codebook) - Rel. 16 Type 2 PS CSI (Extended Type 2 port selective codebook) - Rel. 17 Type 2 PS CSI (Additional Extended Type 2 port selective codebook)

[0386] A CSI-RS using more than 32 ports may be supported only for one or more specific CSI codebooks. For example, the one or more specific CSI codebooks may be at least one of a Type 1 single-panel codebook and a Type 1 multi-panel codebook. This can simplify specifications / UE operation.

[0387] The CSI supporting a CSI-RS using more than 32 ports may be an extension of the CSI for CJT (CJT codebook). The CSI for CJT may be at least one of the Rel. 18 CJT extended type 2 CSI (CJT extended type 2 codebook) and the Rel. 18 CJT supplemental extended type 2 PS CSI (CJT supplemental extended type 2 PS codebook). While the Rel. 18 CJT CSI assumes a separate SD basis for each TRP, the CSI for CJT extended for a CSI-RS using more than 32 ports may assume a common SD basis across multiple TRPs, similar to the aforementioned CJT CSI mode 2. The CSI for a CSI-RS using more than 32 ports may be an extension of the CSI for CJT mode 2. Either mode 1 of CSI for CJT or mode 2 of CSI for CJT for CSI-RS using more than 32 ports may be set or switched by a higher layer parameter.

[0388] The set values ​​of (N1, N2) and (O1, O2) may depend on the type of codebook / CSI or may differ depending on the type of codebook / CSI. For example, in a type 1 multi-panel codebook, the setting of option 2 / 3 in embodiment C1 may be applied. For example, in a type 1 single-panel codebook, the setting of option 1 / 2 / 3 in embodiment C1 may be applied.

[0389] According to this embodiment, the UE can use the appropriate codebook / CSI for CSI-RS with more than 32 ports.

[0390] <Extended Type 2 Codebook> In Extended Type 2 CB, the PMI value corresponds to the codebook (CB) index i1, i2. i1, i2 are given by the following equation: i1={ [i 1,1 i 1,2 i 1,5 i 1,6,1 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 ] v=1 [i 1,1 i 1,2 i 1,5 i 1,6,1 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,6,2 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 ] v=2 [i 1,1 i 1,2 i 1,5 i 1,6,1 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,6,2 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,6,3 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3 ] v=3 [i 1,1 i 1,2 i 1,5 i 1,6,1 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,6,2 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,6,3 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3 i 1,6,4 i 1,7,4 i 1,8,4 ] v=4} i2={ [i 2,3,1 i 2,4,1 i 2,5,1 ] v=1 [i 2,3,1 i 2,4,1 i 2,5,1 i 2,3,2 i 2,4,2 i 2,5,2 ] v=2 [i 2,3,1 i 2,4,1 i 2,5,1 i 2,3,2 i 2,4,2 i 2,5,2 i2,3,3 i 2,4,3 i 2,5,3 ] v=3 [i 2,3,1 i 2,4,1 i 2,5,1 i 2,3,2 i 2,4,2 i 2,5,2 i 2,3,3 i 2,4,3 i 2,5,3 i 2,3,4 i 2,4,4 i 2,5,4 ] v=4}

[0391] <Study D0> For an extended CSI-RS (a CSI-RS using more than 32 ports), the extension of the extended Type 2 CB / additional extended Type 2 PS CB has not been fully considered. This extension may be based on at least one of the extended (Rel. 16) Type 2 CB, the additional extended (Rel. 17) Type 2 PS CB, and the (Rel. 18) CJT CB.

[0392] <Embodiment D0> The state of whether the extension of the Extended Type 2CB to the extended CSI-RS is supported / applied may be defined in the specification (corresponding to the UE capability) or may be configured by RRC signaling. The state may be applied according to any of the following application methods / application targets:

[0393] - Application method 1: The state may be applied to a specific rank, or may be applied commonly to all ranks. For example, the state may be defined / set for ranks 5 to 8, or may be defined / set for a specific range of ranks. The specific range may be 1 to 4, or 1 to 2.

[0394] - Application method 2: The state may be applied to a specific number of CSI-RS ports, or may be applied commonly to all numbers of CSI-RS ports. For example, the state may be defined / set for a number of CSI-RS ports greater than X, or may be defined / set for a number of CSI-RS ports less than X.

[0395] Application method 3: The state may be applied to a specific antenna configuration (n1-n2, ng-n1-n2, or ng1-ng2-n1-n2), or may be applied commonly to multiple antenna configurations. For example, the state may be defined / set for N1≧X, for N2≧Y, for N1≧N2, or for N2=Y.

[0396] Application method 4: The state may be applied to a specific parameter combination (paramCombination) or may be applied commonly to all parameter combinations. For example, the state may be defined / set only for paramCombinations with L values ​​smaller than a specific L value, or only for paramCombinations with β values ​​smaller than a specific β value, or only for paramCombinations with a specific p v p smaller than the value v It may be defined / set only for paramCombinations with values. For example, a specific L value may be 2.

[0397] Application Method 5: The state may be applied to a specific number of subbands N3, or may be applied commonly to the entire range of values ​​of the number of subbands. For example, the state may be defined / set for N3≦Z.

[0398] - Application Method 6: The state may be applied for a specific R value or for different R values, e.g., R may be 1 or 2. For example, the state may be defined / set only for R=1.

[0399] Application method 7: The condition may be subject to a combination of two or more of the above application methods.

[0400] A UE capability for supporting an extension of the enhanced Type 2CB for the enhanced CSI-RS may be introduced. For an application target in any of the above-described application methods 1 to 7, a UE capability for supporting an extension of the enhanced Type 2CB for the enhanced CSI-RS may be introduced.

[0401] According to this embodiment, the UE / base station can properly recognize the cases in which the enhanced Type 2CB extension to the enhanced CSI-RS is supported / applied.

[0402] <Study D1> For ranks 1 to 4, if the existing extended type 2CB is extended to support extended CSI-RS, the number of CSI-RS ports P CSI-RS Due to the larger value of N1 / N2 for i 1,2 As mentioned above, the existing extended type 2 CB is based on the antenna configuration n1-n2. The beam index within each (SD) beam group is selected, and the i 1,1 L beam groups are selected from N1N2 (SD) beam groups, and i 1,2 Reported / displayed by

[0403] <Embodiment D1> <<Embodiment D1.1>> (When antenna setting n1-n2 is set) i 1,2 To reduce overhead, the L SD beam groups to be reported may be selected from a portion or subgroup of the N1N2 SD beam groups rather than from all of the N1N2 SD beam groups. For example, antenna configurations n1-n2 (N1, N2) and (O1, O2) for 64 CSI-RS ports may be defined as shown in FIG. 25.

[0404] The selection of the L SD beam groups may be according to at least one of the following options:

[0405] Option 1: A portion or subgroup of SD beam groups for selection may be defined in the specification or configured by the RRC IE. For example, the UE may select L SD beam groups from the first or last N1N2 / M SD beam groups. For example, M=2 or M=4. 1,2∈{0, 1,..., C(N1N2 / M,L)-1}.

[0406] Option 2: The N1N2 SD beam groups may be divided into M subgroups. The UE selects one subgroup and assigns the selected subgroup to a new parameter i 1,new You may report by i 1,new ∈{0,1,...,M-1}. 1,new The size (bit width) of may be log M. The UE further designates i to indicate the L SD beam groups from the selected subgroup. 1,2 You may report i 1,2 ∈{0, 1,..., C(N1N2 / M, L)-1}. In option 2, the selected SD beam is determined by three parameters i 1,1 , i 1,2 , i 1,new may be reported by i 1,new may be reported in CSI Part 1. 1,new may be common to multiple layers.

[0407] <<Embodiment D1.2>> (When antenna setting ng-n1-n2 or ng1-ng2-n1-n2 is set) i 1,2 In order to reduce the overhead, the L SD beam groups to be reported may be selected from a portion or subgroup of the N1N2 SD beam groups, rather than from all of the N1N2 SD beam groups. For example, for 64 CSI-RS ports, the antenna configurations ng-n1-n2(N g , N1, N2) and (O1, O2) may be defined as shown in FIG. 26. For example, for 64 CSI-RS ports, the antenna configuration ng1-ng2-n1-n2 (N g1 ,N g2 , N1, N2) and (O1, O2) may be defined as shown in FIG.

[0408] Subgrouping is N g or (N g1 ,N g2) panel setting. A part or subgroup of the SD beam groups for selection may correspond to one panel. The selection of the L SD beam groups may be according to at least one of the following options:

[0409] Option 1: A part or subgroup of SD beam groups for selection may be defined in the specification or configured by the RRC IE. For example, the UE may select L SD beam groups from the first or last panel (selecting the first or last panel and selecting L SD beam groups from that panel). This may be defined in the specification or configured by the RRC IE. For example, M may be 2 or M may be 4. 1,2 ∈{0, 1,..., C(N1N2,L)-1}.

[0410] Option 2: The UE assigns the selected panel to a new parameter i 1,new You may report by i 1,new ∈{0,1,...,N g -1} or i 1,new ∈{0,1,...,N g1 N g2 -1}. 1,new The size (bit width) of g or log2(N g1 N g2 ) The UE may further select i to display the L SD beam groups from the selected panel. 1,2 You may report i 1,2 ∈{0, 1,..., C(N1N2,L)-1}. In option 2, the SD beam is 1,1 , i 1,2 , i 1,new (N g1 ,N g2 ) is set, i 1,new is [i 1,new,1 i 1,new,2 ], i 1,new,1 ∈{0,1,...,N g1 -1}, i 1,new,2 ∈{0,1,...,Ng2 -1}. 1,new may be reported in CSI Part 1. 1,new may be common to multiple layers.

[0411] <<Embodiment D1.3>> (When antenna configuration ng-n1-n2 or ng1-ng2-n1-n2 is configured), the existing SD beam group selection (principle / rule) may be reused / repurposed. The existing SD beam group selection may select L SD beam groups reported from all SD beam groups. 1,2 ∈{0,1,...,C(N g N1N2,L)-1} or i 1,2 ∈{0,1,...,C(N g1 N g2 N1N2,L)-1}. The new SD beam group selection (principle / rule) may select L SD beam groups from a portion or subgroup of the SD beam groups, as described above.

[0412] The state of whether to reuse an existing SD beam group selection or to use a new SD beam group selection may be defined in the specification (corresponding to UE capabilities) or may be configured by an RRC IE. The state may be applied according to one of several application methods / objects:

[0413] - Application method 1: The state may be applied to a specific rank or may be applied commonly to all ranks. For example, if the rank is equal to or less than a specific value, an existing SD beam group selection may be reused, and if the rank is higher than a specific value, a new SD beam group selection may be used. For example, the specific value may be 4.

[0414] - Application Method 2: The state may be applied to a specific number of CSI-RS ports or may be applied commonly to all numbers of CSI-RS ports. For example, if the number of CSI-RS ports is equal to or less than a specific value, an existing SD beam group selection may be reused, and if the number of CSI-RS ports is higher than the specific value, a new SD beam group selection may be used. For example, the specific value may be 32.

[0415] - Application method 3: The state may be applied to a specific antenna configuration (n1-n2 or ng-n1-n2 or ng1-ng2-n1-n2) or may be applied commonly to multiple antenna configurations.

[0416] Application method 4: The state may be applied to a specific parameter combination (paramCombination) or may be applied commonly to all parameter combinations. For example, the state may be defined / set only for paramCombinations with a smaller L value (e.g., L=2), or only for paramCombinations with a smaller β value, or only for paramCombinations with a smaller p v May only be defined / set for paramCombinations with values.

[0417] Application method 5: The state may be applied to a specific number of subbands N3 or may be applied commonly to the entire range of values ​​of the number of subbands.

[0418] Application Method 6: The condition may be applied for a specific R value or for different R values, for example R may be 1 or 2.

[0419] Application method 7: The condition may be subject to a combination of two or more of the above application methods.

[0420] A UE capability for supporting a new SD beam group selection may be introduced. For the application target in any of the above application methods 1 to 7, a UE capability for supporting a new SD beam group selection may be introduced.

[0421] According to this embodiment, the UE can appropriately select the SD beam group to be reported.

[0422] <Study D2> In the existing extended type 2CB, the size (number) of the FD basis M v is layer specific, and M v =ceil(p v ×N3 / R). M v is the parameter combination (paramCombination) v FIG. 28 shows the codebook parameter combination [L p v β] is shown.

[0423] - Study D2-1: In the existing specifications, paramCombination is defined for up to four layers. There is no definition of parameters for ranks greater than four.

[0424] - Study D2-2: In the existing specifications, p for different layers v Since the values ​​of are different, the complexity of CSI increases when the rank is high.

[0425] <Embodiment D2> In an extension of the extended type 2CB for the extended CSI-RS, in order to support ranks 5 to 8, p v may be newly defined. M for the size (number) of FD bases v may follow at least one of the following rules:

[0426] - Rule: For specific different layers, v For example, for layers u and v, the values ​​of M v =M u M for a specific number of layers v To support / apply the same value of p from paramCombination for certain layers v The values ​​of may be the same.

[0427] - Rule: To reduce overhead, p in the existing specifications v smaller than the value of p v To ensure high performance, the value of p in the existing specification may be introduced. v greater than the value of p v may be introduced.

[0428] - Rule: M for different layers v Support / apply the same value of M for different layers v The state of supporting / applying different values ​​of ∑ ...

[0429] -- Application method 1: The state may be applied to a specific rank, or may be applied commonly to all ranks.

[0430] -- Application method 2: The state may be applied to a specific number of CSI-RS ports, or may be applied commonly to all numbers of CSI-RS ports.

[0431] -- Application method 3: The state may be applied to a specific antenna configuration (n1-n2 or ng-n1-n2 or ng1-ng2-n1-n2) or may be applied commonly to multiple antenna configurations.

[0432] -- Application method 4: The state may be applied to a specific parameter combination (paramCombination) or may be applied commonly to all parameter combinations.

[0433] -- Application method 5: The state may be applied to a specific number of subbands N3, or may be applied commonly to the entire range of values ​​of the number of subbands.

[0434] -- Application Method 6: The condition may be applied for a specific R value or for different R values. For example, R may be 1 or 2.

[0435] -- Application Method 7: The condition may be subject to a combination of two or more of the above application methods.

[0436] The state of whether a new parameter combination (e.g., paramCombination-r19) is supported / applied may be defined in the specification or configured by an RRC IE. The state may be applied according to any of the above-mentioned application methods 1 to 7. The new parameter combination may be according to any of Example 1 (FIG. 29), Example 2 (FIG. 30), Example 3 (FIG. 31), or Example 4 (FIG. 32).

[0437] According to this embodiment, the UE can appropriately determine the size (number) of the FD bases.

[0438] <Study D3> In the existing extended type 2CB, M v The FD beam report for vectors is, as mentioned above, i for N3 > 19. 1,5 And, M v > 1 and i for l=1,...,v 1,6,l and reported / displayed by i 1,5 denotes the index of the initial FD beam (basis). 1,6,l denotes the index of the FD beam (basis) selected for layer l. In the high rank case, 1,6,l is reported (different FD beams are reported for each layer), the overhead increases.

[0439] <Embodiment D3> When ranks 5 to 8 are supported in the extension of Extension Type 2CB, the FD beam reporting for each layer may be extended for ranks 5 to 8. The extension may follow at least one of the following examples: Example: For rank 5, in addition to the existing report for rank 4, 1,6,5 - Example: For rank 6, in addition to the existing report for rank 4, 1,6,5 , i 1,6,6 - Example: For rank 7, in addition to the existing report for rank 4, 1,6,5 , i 1,6,6 , i 1,6,7- Example: For rank 8, in addition to the existing report for rank 4, 1,6,5 , i 1,6,6 , i 1,6,7 , i 1,6,8 is reported.

[0440] The same FD beam for specific layers is supported, and the i 1,6,l The reporting of FD beams may not be required. The same FD beam for a particular layer may be applied to any rank. This can reduce the reporting overhead of FD beams. The mapping (relationship) regarding which layers have the same FD beam may be defined in the specification or may be added and reported by the UE via a new parameter. Having the same FD beam for multiple layers may follow at least one of the following examples:

[0441] - Example: If the rank is greater than 4, FD beams for layers 1, 2, 3, and 4 may be reported, but FD beams for layers 5, 6, 7, and 8 may not be reported. FD beams for layer i (i>4) may be assumed to be the same as the FD beam for layer j (j≦4). For example, the FD beam for layer 5 may be the same as the FD beam for layer 1, the FD beam for layer 6 may be the same as the FD beam for layer 2, the FD beam for layer 7 may be the same as the FD beam for layer 3, and the FD beam for layer 8 may be the same as the FD beam for layer 4. The mapping between i and j may be defined in the specification or may be added and reported by the UE via a new parameter. In this case, i 1,6,l is [i 1,6,1 i 1,6,2 i 1,6,3 i 1,6,4 ] may also be included.

[0442] Example: If the rank is 8, FD beams for layers 5 and 7 may be reported, and FD beams for layers 6 and 8 may not be reported. The FD beam for layer 6 may be assumed to be the same as the FD beam for layer 5. The FD beam for layer 8 may be assumed to be the same as the FD beam for layer 7. In this case, i 1,6,l is [i 1,6,1 i 1,6,2 i 1,6,3 i 1,6,4 i 1,6,5 i 1,6,7 ] may also be included.

[0443] The state of reporting FD beams for each layer or omitting reporting FD beams for a specific layer may be defined in a specification (corresponding to UE capabilities) or may be configured by an RRC IE. The state may follow at least one of application methods 1 to 7 described above (embodiment D0 / embodiment D2).

[0444] A UE capability for supporting omission of reporting of FD beams for a specific layer may be introduced. For the subject of any of application methods 1 to 7 of the above-described (embodiment D0 / embodiment D2), a UE capability for supporting omission of reporting of FD beams for a specific layer may be introduced.

[0445] According to this embodiment, the UE can appropriately select the SD beam group to be reported.

[0446] <Study D4> In the existing Extended Type 2 CB, the maximum number of non-zero coefficients (NZC) is reported. The (actual, reported) number of NZCs for layer l is reported in CSI Part 1.

[0447] The number of NZCs for each layer is the maximum value K0 = ceil(β × 2LM v ) The number of NZCs for layer l is K l NZ =Σ i=0 2L-1 Σ f=0 M_v-1 k l,i,f (3)is limited to a maximum value K0. The total number of NZCs for all layers, K NZ =Σ l=1 v K l NZ is limited to a maximum value of 2K0. Therefore, the maximum total number of NZCs for rank v=1 is K0, and the maximum total number of NZCs for ranks v=2, 3, 4 is 2K0.

[0448] In the existing specifications, the maximum number of NZCs is not defined when a high rank (e.g., rank 8) is supported. If the maximum total number of NZCs for all layers, 2K0, is reused, the total number may be too limited, resulting in degradation of performance at high ranks.

[0449] <Embodiment D4> For layer l, the number of FD bases is M l If ,the maximum number of NZCs for layer l is K l =ceil(β×2LM l ) may be limited to

[0450] A maximum value (limit) on the total number of NZCs for all layers of ranks 5 to 8 of the enhanced CSI-RS may be defined. The maximum value may follow at least one of the following options:

[0451] Option 1: The maximum total number of NZCs is 2K0, the same as the maximum total number of NZCs for existing ranks 2 to 4 (Example 1 in Figure 33).

[0452] - Option 2: The maximum total number of NZCs is related / dependent on the rank. The maximum total number of NZCs may be different for different ranks. For example, the maximum may be X*K0, where X may be related / dependent on the rank. This option may be applied to ranks 1 to 4 of the enhanced CSI-RS. In Example 2-1 of FIG. 34, the maximum total number of NZCs is defined for v=5, 6, 7, and 8. In Example 2-2 of FIG. 35, the maximum total number of NZCs is defined for v=5 and 6, and for v=7 and 8. In Example 2-3 of FIG. 36, the maximum total number of NZCs is defined for v=2, for v=3, 4, 5, and 6, and for v=7 and 8.

[0453] The state in which any of the above options is applied may be defined in the specifications (corresponding to UE capabilities) or may be configured by an RRC IE, and the state may be applied according to at least one of application methods 1 to 7 described above (embodiment D0 / embodiment D2).

[0454] A UE capability regarding support of a maximum value of the total number of NZCs for all layers for an enhanced CSI-RS may be introduced. For the subject of any of application methods 1 to 7 of the above-described embodiment D0 / embodiment D2, a UE capability regarding support of a maximum value of the total number of NZCs for all layers for an enhanced CSI-RS may be introduced.

[0455] According to this embodiment, the UE can appropriately limit the total number of NZCs.

[0456] <Study D5> In the existing extended type 2CB, the bitmap indicating the position of the NZC for layer l is i 1,7,l Reported by.

[0457] For higher ranks, the overhead of CSI reporting increases, e.g., at rank 8, 8 bitmaps are needed for each layer.

[0458] In the existing CB, the strongest coefficient indicator for layer l is i 1,8,7 Reported by.

[0459] <Embodiment D5> In order to reduce the reporting overhead of bitmaps for each layer, a method / rule for omitting bitmaps for each layer may be introduced.

[0460] A new v-bit indicator i to indicate which layer bitmaps are omitted for rank v. 1,9 may be reported. The status of whether bitmap omission is enabled or not may be defined in the specification (corresponding to UE capabilities) or may be configured by an RRC IE. The status may follow at least one of the following options:

[0461] - Option 1: If all NZCs for layer l are to be not reported, then the bitmap for layer l is omitted (not reported). For example, if the UE determines that all NZCs for a layer have weaker amplitude values ​​(than a specific value), then the UE may decide not to report that NZC, and the bitmap for that layer may not be reported. In this case, for that layer l, 1,8,l , i 2,3,l , i 2,4,l , i 2,5,l There have been no reports of this.

[0462] - Option 2: If all NZCs for layer l are to be reported, the bitmap for layer l is omitted (not reported). For example, if the UE determines that all NZCs for a layer have a stronger amplitude value (than a specific value), the UE may select (report) the all NZCs. In this case, for that layer l, 1,8,l , i 2,3,l , i 2,4,l , i 2,5,l There have been reports of this.

[0463] - Option 3: K NZIf = 2LM1, then bitmaps for all layers are not omitted (not reported). The omission method may be applied to cases where the maximum total number of NZCs is defined as X*K0 and the rank is less than or equal to X. In this case, the NW can understand that the omission has occurred based on the number of NZCs reported in CSI Part 1. Therefore, i 1,9 Reporting may not be required.

[0464] - Option 4: Which bitmap omission rule among the above options 1 to 3 applies may be configured by an RRC IE.

[0465] - Option 5 (variation): A new 2v bit indicator (2 bits per layer) may be reported to indicate the bitmap omission rule applied by the UE per layer. For example, a value of 00 for the 2v bit indicator may mean no bitmap omission, a value of 01 may mean option 1 bitmap omission and a value of 10 may mean option 2 bitmap omission.

[0466] The state in which any of the above options is applied may be defined in the specifications (corresponding to UE capabilities) or may be configured by an RRC IE, and the state may be applied according to at least one of application methods 1 to 7 described above (embodiment D0 / embodiment D2).

[0467] Such a new indicator may be reported in CSI Part 1. This indicator may affect the bit size of CSI Part 2.

[0468] A UE capability for supporting bitmap omission may be introduced. A new indicator (e.g., v-bit indicator i) may be introduced to indicate which layer bitmaps are omitted. 1,9 ) may be introduced. A new indicator (e.g., 2v-bit indicator i) may be introduced to indicate the bitmap skipping rule applied per layer. 1,9 ) may be introduced.

[0469] According to this embodiment, the UE can appropriately decide whether to report a bitmap indicating the location of the NZC.

[0477] <Analysis E> The codebook design for the extended Type 2 CB and the additional extended Type 2 PS CB for the extended CSI-RS has not been sufficiently considered. The codebook design may be based on at least one of the extended Type 2 CB (Rel. 16), the additional extended Type 2 PS CB (Rel. 17), and the extended Type 2 CB for CJT (Rel. 18).

[0478] The state of whether to support / apply the additional extension type 2 PS CB extension to the extended CSI-RS may be defined in the specification (corresponding to the UE capability) or may be configured by RRC signaling. The state may be applied according to any of the following application methods / application targets:

[0479] - Application method 1: The state may be applied to a specific rank, or may be applied commonly to all ranks. For example, the state may be defined / set for ranks 5 to 8, or may be defined / set for a specific range of ranks. The specific range may be 1 to 4, or 1 to 2.

[0480] - Application method 2: The state may be applied to a specific number of CSI-RS ports, or may be applied commonly to all numbers of CSI-RS ports. For example, the state may be defined / set for a number of CSI-RS ports greater than X, or may be defined / set for a number of CSI-RS ports less than X.

[0481] Application method 3: The state may be applied to a specific antenna configuration (n1-n2, ng-n1-n2, or ng1-ng2-n1-n2), or may be applied commonly to multiple antenna configurations. For example, the state may be defined / set for N1≧X, for N2≧Y, for N1≧N2, or for N2=Y.

[0482] Application method 4: The state may be applied to a specific parameter combination (paramCombination) or may be applied commonly to all parameter combinations. For example, the state may be defined / set only for paramCombinations with L values ​​smaller than a specific L value, or only for paramCombinations with β values ​​smaller than a specific β value, or only for paramCombinations with a specific p v p smaller than the value v It may be defined / set only for paramCombinations with values. For example, a specific L value may be 2.

[0483] Application Method 5: The state may be applied to a specific number of subbands N3, or may be applied commonly to the entire range of values ​​of the number of subbands. For example, the state may be defined / set for N3≦Z.

[0484] - Application Method 6: The state may be applied for a specific R value or for different R values, e.g. R may be 1 or 2. For example, the state may be defined / set only for R=1.

[0485] Application Method 7: The condition may be applied for a specific value of N (valueOfN) or for different values ​​of N. For example, N may be 2 or 4.

[0486] Application method 8: The condition may be subject to a combination of two or more of the above application methods.

[0487] A UE capability for supporting an additional enhanced type 2 PS CB extension for an enhanced CSI-RS may be introduced. For any of application methods 1 to 8 described above, a UE capability for supporting an additional enhanced type 2 PS CB extension for an enhanced CSI-RS may be introduced.

[0488] According to this embodiment, the UE / base station can properly recognize the cases in which the additional enhanced type 2 PS CB enhancement for the enhanced CSI-RS is supported / applied.

[0489] <Study E1> (related to studies D1 / D2) For ranks 1 to 4, if the existing additional extended type 2 PS CB is extended to support the extended CSI-RS, the number of CSI-RS ports P may be set to a value greater than the existing value, such as 48, 64, 72, 96, or 128. CSI-RS Due to the value of i 1,2 As mentioned above, in the existing additional extended type 2 PS CB, 1,2 ∈{0,1,...,C(P CSI-RS / 2,L)-1}. The feedback overhead is P CSI-RS and L. L is related to P CSI-RS and related to α.

[0490] Figure 37 shows the codebook parameter combination for the additional extended type 2 PS CB. α is determined from the parameter combination (paramCombination-r17). α, M, and β are common to different ranks.

[0491] <Embodiment E1> <<Embodiment E1.1>> i 1,2 To reduce the overhead of P CSI-RS Not from all of the ports, CSI-RS Ports or P CSI-RS The L ports to be reported may be selected from a subset or subgroup of the / 2 ports.

[0492] The selection of the L ports may be according to at least one of several options:

[0493] Option 1: A subset or subgroup of ports for selection may be defined in the specification or configured by an RRC IE. For example, the UE may select the first or last P CSI-RS The selection of L ports from the M ports may be defined in the specification or configured by the RRC IE. 1,2 ∈{0,1,...,C(P CSI-RS / M,L)-1}, or i 1,2 ∈{0,1,...,C(P CSI-RS / (2M),L)-1}.

[0494] - Option 2: P CSI-RS The ports may be divided into M subgroups. The UE selects one subgroup and assigns the selected subgroup to a new parameter i 1,new You may report by i 1,new ∈{0,1,...,M-1}. 1,new The size (bit width) of may be log2M. The UE further designates i to indicate the L ports from the selected subgroup. 1,2 You may report i 1,2 ∈{0,1,...,C(P CSI-RS / M,L)-1}, or i 1,2 ∈{0,1,...,C(P CSI-RS / (2M),L)-1}. In option 2, the selected port is determined by two parameters i 1,2 , i 1,new may be reported by i 1,new may be reported in CSI Part 1. 1,new may be common to multiple layers.

[0495] The state of whether an existing port selection (principle / rule) is reused / repurposed or a new port selection (principle / rule) is used may be defined in the specification (corresponding to the UE capabilities) or may be configured by the RRC IE. CSI-RS From all the ports, the L ports to be reported may be selected. The new port selection is CSI-RS Ports or P CSI-RS The L ports to be reported may be selected from a subset or subgroup of the L ports. The status may be applied according to any of several application methods / objects:

[0496] Application method 1: The state may be applied to a specific rank, or may be applied commonly to all ranks.

[0497] - Application method 2: The state may be applied to a specific number of CSI-RS ports, or may be applied commonly to all numbers of CSI-RS ports.

[0498] - Application method 3: The state may be applied to a specific antenna configuration (n1-n2 or ng-n1-n2 or ng1-ng2-n1-n2) or may be applied commonly to multiple antenna configurations.

[0499] Application method 4: The state may be applied to a specific parameter combination (paramCombination) or may be applied commonly to all parameter combinations.

[0500] Application method 5: The state may be applied to a specific number of subbands N3 or may be applied commonly to the entire range of values ​​of the number of subbands.

[0501] Application Method 6: The condition may be applied for a specific R value or for different R values, for example R may be 1 or 2.

[0502] Application Method 7: The condition may be applied for a specific value of N (valueOfN) or for different values ​​of N. For example, N may be 2 or 4.

[0503] Application method 8: The condition may be subject to a combination of two or more of the above application methods.

[0504] UE capability for supporting new port selection and reporting may be introduced. For any of application methods 1 to 8 described above, UE capability for supporting new port selection and reporting may be introduced.

[0505] <<Embodiment E1.2>> For the extended CSI-RS, α or L and the parameter combination (paramCombination) may follow at least one of the following options.

[0506] Option 1: For each application target, the same settings as the existing parameter combination may be supported / applied. Alternatively, as in Example 1 (FIG. 38) or Example 2 (FIG. 39), some settings of the existing parameter combination may be supported / applied. The application target may be an application target in any of Application Methods 1 to 8 described above (Embodiment E0 / Embodiment E1.1).

[0507] - Option 2: For at least one of the extended CSI-RS and a rank higher than the existing rank (e.g., 5 to 8), a new parameter combination having at least one of an α value smaller than the existing value, an M value smaller than the existing value, and a β value smaller than the existing value may be supported / applied. A new parameter combination may be supported / applied for each application target. The application target may be an application target in any of application methods 1 to 8 described above (Embodiment E0 / Embodiment E1.1). The new parameter combination may be defined based on a table of existing parameter combinations by replacing some rows in the table. When the number of ports is large and the α value is small, the L value becomes smaller, and i 1,2 The overhead of is reduced. To ensure high performance, larger values ​​of α or L may be introduced.

[0508] Variation: At a particular rank, different values ​​of α may be defined for different layers. For example, as in Example 3 (FIG. 40), different values ​​of α may be defined for layers {1,2,3,4} and {5,6,7,8}. For example, different values ​​of α may be defined for layers {1,2}, {3,4}, {5,6}, and {7,8}.

[0509] Different parameter combinations may be set for different application targets, which may be application targets in any of application methods 1 to 8 described above (embodiment E0 / embodiment E1.1).

[0510] According to this embodiment, the UE can appropriately select the SD beam group to be reported.

[0511] <Study E2> (related to Study D4) The maximum number of non-zero coefficients (NZCs) is reported in the existing additional extended type 2 PS CB. The (actual, reported) number of NZCs for layer l is reported in CSI Part 1.

[0512] The number of NZCs for each layer is limited to a maximum value K0 = ceil(βK1M). The number of NZCs for layer l, K l NZ =Σ i=0 K_1-1 Σ f=0 M-1 k l,i,f (3) is limited to a maximum value K0. The total number of NZCs for all layers, K NZ =Σ l=1 v K l NZ is limited to 2K. Therefore, the maximum total number of NZCs for rank v=1 is K, and the maximum total number of NZCs for ranks v=2, 3, 4 is 2K.

[0513] In the existing specifications, the maximum number of NZCs is not defined when a high rank (e.g., rank 8) is supported. If the maximum total number of NZCs for all layers, 2K0, is reused, the total number may be too limited, resulting in degradation of performance at high ranks.

[0514] <Embodiment E2> The number of NZCs for layer l is a maximum of K l = ceil(βK1M). 1,v =α v *P CSI-RS If is different for each layer, K l =ceil(βK 1,v M), for layer l, K 1,l =α l *P CSI-RS If K l =ceil(βK 1,l M).

[0515] A maximum value (limit) on the total number of NZCs for all layers of ranks 5 to 8 of the enhanced CSI-RS may be defined. The maximum value may follow at least one of the following options:

[0516] - Option 1: The maximum total number of NZCs is 2K0, the same as the maximum total number of NZCs for existing ranks 2 to 4 (Example 1 in Figure 41).

[0517] - Option 2: The maximum total number of NZCs is related / dependent on the rank. The maximum total number of NZCs may be different for different ranks. For example, the maximum may be X*K0, where X may be related / dependent on the rank. This option may be applied to ranks 1 to 4 of the enhanced CSI-RS. In Example 2-1 of FIG. 42, the maximum total number of NZCs is defined for v=5, 6, 7, and 8. In Example 2-2 of FIG. 43, the maximum total number of NZCs is defined for v=5 and 6, and for v=7 and 8. In Example 2-3 of FIG. 44, the maximum total number of NZCs is defined for v=2, for v=3, 4, 5, and 6, and for v=7 and 8.

[0518] The state in which any of the above options is applied may be defined in the specifications (corresponding to UE capabilities) or may be configured by an RRC IE, and the state may be applied according to at least one of application methods 1 to 8 described above (Embodiment E0 / Embodiment E1.1).

[0519] A UE capability regarding support of a maximum value of the total number of NZCs for all layers for an enhanced CSI-RS may be introduced. For the subject of any of application methods 1 to 8 of the above-described embodiment E0 / embodiment E1.1, a UE capability regarding support of a maximum value of the total number of NZCs for all layers for an enhanced CSI-RS may be introduced.

[0520] According to this embodiment, the UE can appropriately limit the total number of NZCs.

[0521] <Study E3> (Related to Study D5) In the existing additional extension type 2 PS CB, the bitmap indicating the position of NZC for layer l is i 1,7,l It is reported by: rank v≦2 and K NZ =K1Mv, then for l=1,...,v, 1,7,l are not reported. If it is determined that all NZCs are to be reported for v≦2, the bitmap is omitted. If the maximum total number of NZCs is kept at 2K0, this method is not applicable for v>2.

[0522] For higher ranks, the overhead of CSI reporting increases, e.g., at rank 8, 8 bitmaps are needed for each layer.

[0523] In the existing CB, the strongest coefficient indicator for layer l is i 1,8,7 Reported by.

[0524] <Embodiment E3> To reduce the reporting overhead of bitmaps for each layer, a method / rule for omitting bitmaps for each layer may be introduced.

[0525] A new v-bit indicator i to indicate which layer bitmaps are omitted for rank v. 1,9 may be reported. The status of whether bitmap omission is enabled or not may be defined in the specification (corresponding to UE capabilities) or may be configured by an RRC IE. The status may follow at least one of the following options:

[0526] - Option 1: If all NZCs for layer l are to be not reported, then the bitmap for layer l is omitted (not reported). For example, if the UE determines that all NZCs for a layer have weaker amplitude values ​​(than a specific value), then the UE may decide not to report that NZC, and the bitmap for that layer may not be reported. In this case, for that layer l, 1,8,l , i 2,3,l , i 2,4,l , i 2,5,l There have been no reports of this.

[0527] - Option 2: If all NZCs for layer l are to be reported, the bitmap for layer l is omitted (not reported). For example, if the UE determines that all NZCs for a layer have a stronger amplitude value (than a specific value), the UE may select (report) the all NZCs. In this case, for that layer l, 1,8,l , i 2,3,l , i 2,4,l , i 2,5,l There have been reports of this.

[0528] - Option 3: K NZ If = 2LM1, then bitmaps for all layers are not omitted (not reported). The omission method may be applied to cases where the maximum total number of NZCs is defined as X*K0 and the rank is less than or equal to X. In this case, the NW can understand that the omission has occurred based on the number of NZCs reported in CSI Part 1. Therefore, i 1,9 Reporting may not be required.

[0529] - Option 4: Which bitmap omission rule among the above options 1 to 3 applies may be configured by an RRC IE.

[0530] - Option 5 (variation): A new 2v bit indicator (2 bits per layer) may be reported to indicate the bitmap omission rule applied by the UE per layer. For example, a value of 00 for the 2v bit indicator may mean no bitmap omission, a value of 01 may mean option 1 bitmap omission and a value of 10 may mean option 2 bitmap omission.

[0531] The state in which any of the above options is applied may be defined in the specifications (corresponding to UE capabilities) or may be configured by an RRC IE, and the state may be applied according to at least one of application methods 1 to 7 described above (embodiment D0 / embodiment D2).

[0532] Such a new indicator may be reported in CSI Part 1. This indicator may affect the bit size of CSI Part 2.

[0533] A UE capability for supporting bitmap omission may be introduced. A new indicator (e.g., v-bit indicator i) may be introduced to indicate which layer bitmaps are omitted. 1,9 ) may be introduced. A new indicator (e.g., 2v-bit indicator i) may be introduced to indicate the bitmap skipping rule applied per layer. 1,9 ) may be introduced.

[0534] According to this embodiment, the UE can appropriately decide whether to report a bitmap indicating the location of the NZC.

[0535] <Study E4> (related to Study D6) In the existing additional extension type 2PS CB, i1 and i2 for ranks 5 to 8 are unclear (when embodiments D1 / D2 / D3 / D5 / D6 are applied).

[0536] <Embodiment E4> i1 and i2 may be expanded for ranks 5 to 8. The expansion may follow at least one of the following examples.

[0537] Example 1: i1, i2 for ranks 5 to 8 may be given by: i1={ [i 1,2 i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3 i 1,7,4 i 1,8,4 i 1,7,5 i 1,8,5 ] v=5 [i 1,2 i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3 i 1,7,4 i1,8,4 i 1,7,5 i 1,8,5 i 1,7,6 i 1,8,6 ] v=6 [i 1,2 i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3 i 1,7,4 i 1,8,4 i 1,7,5 i 1,8,5 i 1,7,6 i 1,8,6 i 1,7,7 i 1,8,7 ] v=7 [i 1,2 i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3 i 1,7,4 i 1,8,4 i 1,7,5 i 1,8,5 i 1,7,6 i 1,8,6 i 1,7,7 i 1,8,7 i 1,7,8 i 1,8,8 ] v=8} i2={ [i 2,3,1 i 2,4,1 i 2,5,1 i 2,3,2 i 2,4,2 i 2,5,2 i 2,3,3 i 2,4,3 i 2,5,3 i 2,3,4 i 2,4,4 i 2,5,4 i 2,3,5 i 2,4,5 i 2,5,5 ] v=5 [i 2,3,1 i 2,4,1 i 2,5,1 i 2,3,2 i 2,4,2 i 2,5,2 i 2,3,3 i 2,4,3 i 2,5,3 i 2,3,4 i2,4,4 i 2,5,4 i 2,3,5 i 2,4,5 i 2,5,5 i 2,3,6 i 2,4,6 i 2,5,6 ] v=6 [i 2,3,1 i 2,4,1 i 2,5,1 i 2,3,2 i 2,4,2 i 2,5,2 i 2,3,3 i 2,4,3 i 2,5,3 i 2,3,4 i 2,4,4 i 2,5,4 i 2,3,5 i 2,4,5 i 2,5,5 i 2,3,6 i 2,4,6 i 2,5,6 i 2,3,7 i 2,4,7 i 2,5,7 ] v=7 [i 2,3,1 i 2,4,1 i 2,5,1 i 2,3,2 i 2,4,2 i 2,5,2 i 2,3,3 i 2,4,3 i 2,5,3 i 2,3,4 i 2,4,4 i 2,5,4 i 2,3,5 i 2,4,5 i 2,5,5 i 2,3,6 i 2,4,6 i 2,5,6 i 2,3,7 i 2,4,7 i 2,5,7 i 2,3,8 i 2,4,8 i 2,5,8 ] v=8}

[0538] Example 2: embodiment E1 is applied and the new indicator i 1,new may be reported. i1 for ranks 1 to 8 may be given by: i1={ [i 1,2 i 1,new i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1] v=1 [i 1,2 i 1,new i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 ] v=2 [i 1,2 i 1,new i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3 ] v=3 [i 1,2 i 1,new i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3 i 1,7,4 i 1,8,4 ] v=4 [i 1,2 i 1,new i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3 i 1,7,4 i 1,8,4 i 1,7,5 i 1,8,5 ] v=5 [i 1,2 i 1,new i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3 i 1,7,4 i 1,8,4 i 1,7,5 i 1,8,5 i 1,7,6 i 1,8,6 ] v=6 [i 1,2 i 1,new i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3i 1,7,4 i 1,8,4 i 1,7,5 i 1,8,5 i 1,7,6 i 1,8,6 i 1,7,7 i 1,8,7 ] v=7 [i 1,2 i 1,new i 1,6 i 1,7,1 i 1,8,1 i 1,7,2 i 1,8,2 i 1,7,3 i 1,8,3 i 1,7,4 i 1,8,4 i 1,7,5 i 1,8,5 i 1,7,6 i 1,8,6 i 1,7,7 i 1,8,7 i 1,7,8 i 1,8,8 ] v=8}

[0539] <Codebook for CJT> Figure 45 shows the codebook for CJT extension type 2CB {L1,...,L N_TRP}. This table shows the codebook parameter combinations for N TRP and parameter combination (paramCombination-CJT-L-r18) and {L1,...,L N_TRP} and associate.

[0540] Figure 46 shows the {L1,...,L N_TRP}. This table shows the codebook parameter combinations for N TRP and parameter combination (paramCombination-CJT-PS-alpha-r18) and {α1,...,α N_TRP} and associate.

[0541] <Analysis F> Rel. 18 considers multi-TRP CJT CSI (extended type 2 CB for CJT and additional extended type 2 PS CB), in which up to four CSI-RS resources are configured for CSI measurement / reporting. Meanwhile, to provide extended CSI-RS, a similar configuration to the codebook for CJT is considered. In this case, to support extended CSI-RS, the extended type 2 CB and additional extended type 2 PS CB for multi-TRP CJT may be extended, rather than the extended type 2 CB and additional extended type 2 PS CB for single TRP.

[0542] <Embodiment F0> <<Embodiment F0A>> When multiple CSI-RS resources (e.g., up to four CSI-RS resources) are configured to provide an extended CSI-RS configuration, the state of whether to support / apply the extension of the Extended Type 2CB for CJT may be defined in a specification (corresponding to UE capabilities) or may be configured by RRC signaling. The state may be applied according to any of the following several application methods / application targets:

[0543] - Application method 1: The state may be applied to a specific rank, or may be applied commonly to all ranks. For example, the state may be defined / set for ranks 5 to 8, or may be defined / set for a specific range of ranks. The specific range may be 1 to 4, or 1 to 2.

[0544] - Application method 2: The state may be applied to a specific number of CSI-RS ports, or may be applied commonly to all numbers of CSI-RS ports. For example, the state may be defined / set for a number of CSI-RS ports greater than X, or may be defined / set for a number of CSI-RS ports less than X.

[0545] Application method 3: The state may be applied to a specific antenna configuration (n1-n2, ng-n1-n2, or ng1-ng2-n1-n2), or may be applied commonly to multiple antenna configurations. For example, the state may be defined / set for N1≧X, for N2≧Y, for N1≧N2, or for N2=Y.

[0546] Application method 4: The state may be applied to a specific parameter combination (paramCombination) or may be applied commonly to all parameter combinations. For example, the state may be defined / set only for paramCombinations with L values ​​smaller than a specific L value, or only for paramCombinations with β values ​​smaller than a specific β value, or only for paramCombinations with a specific p v p smaller than the value v It may be defined / set only for paramCombinations with values. For example, a specific L value may be 2.

[0547] Application Method 5: The state may be applied to a specific number of subbands N3, or may be applied commonly to the entire range of values ​​of the number of subbands. For example, the state may be defined / set for N3≦Z.

[0548] - Application Method 6: The state may be applied for a specific R value or for different R values, e.g. R may be 1 or 2. For example, the state may be defined / set only for R=1.

[0549] Application method 7: The state is determined based on a specific number of CSI-RS resources (N TRP ), or for different numbers of CSI-RS resources. TRP May only be applied to =4.

[0550] Application method 8: The condition may be subject to a combination of two or more of the above application methods.

[0551] A UE capability for supporting an extension of the CJT extension type 2CB for the extended CSI-RS may be introduced. For any of application methods 1 to 8 described above, a UE capability for supporting an extension of the CJT extension type 2CB for the extended CSI-RS may be introduced.

[0552] According to this embodiment, the UE / base station can properly recognize the cases in which the extension of the CJT extension type 2CB for the extended CSI-RS is supported / configured.

[0553] <<Embodiment F0B>> When multiple CSI-RS resources (e.g., up to four CSI-RS resources) are configured to provide an extended CSI-RS configuration, the state of whether to support / apply the extension of the additional extension type 2PS CB for CJT may be defined in the specification (corresponding to UE capabilities) or may be configured by RRC signaling. The state may be applied according to any of the application methods / application targets described above (Embodiment F0A).

[0554] A UE capability may be introduced regarding support for extension of an additional extension type 2 PS CB for CJT for an enhanced CSI-RS. For any of application methods 1 to 8 described above, a UE capability may be introduced regarding support for extension of an additional extension type 2 PS CB for CJT for an enhanced CSI-RS.

[0555] According to this embodiment, the UE / base station can properly recognize the cases in which the extension of the additional extension type 2PS CB for CJT for the extended CSI-RS is supported / configured.

[0556] <Consideration F1> Regarding the selection / reporting of SD beams, the difference between multi-TRP CSI and single-TRP CSI for extended CSI-RS may be that the same SD beam is selected from all ports / TRPs. 1,1 =[i 1,1,1 ...i 1,1,N ] may require only one value, i 1,2 =[i 1,2,1 ...i 1,2,N] may only require one value.

[0557] <Embodiment F1> When N CSI-RS resources for providing an extended CSI-RS configuration are configured based on the CJT extended type 2 CB or the CJT additional extended type 2 PS CB, i 1,1 For N indices {i 1,1,1 ,...,i 1,1,N Only one index from} is selected / reported, i 1,2 For N indices {i 1,2,1 ,...,i 1,2,N Only one index from} may be selected / reported (new SD beam selection / new port selection). 1,1 / i 1,2 The N indices for {circumflex over (N)} may correspond to the N CSI-RS resources. The selection from the N indices may be according to at least one of the following options:

[0558] Option 1: It may be defined in the specification that the first or last or a specific CSI-RS resource is selected. Which CSI-RS resource is selected may be configured by an RRC IE.

[0559] Option 2: The CSI-RS resource selected by the UE is i 1,new The UE may report via i 1,new For i, one of N values ​​{0, 1, ..., N-1} may be selected. 1,new The size (bit width) of may be log2N. In option 2, the SD beam or CSI-RS port is determined by three parameters i 1,1 , i 1,2 , i 1,new may be reported by i 1,new may be reported in CSI Part 1. 1,new may be common to multiple layers.

[0560] i 1,1,n and i 1,2,n The selected / reported value of Λ may be assumed to apply to all N CSI-RS resources.

[0561] The state of whether option 1 or option 2 applies may be defined in the specification (corresponding to the UE capabilities) or may be configured by an RRC IE, and may be applied according to any of application methods 1 to 8 described above (embodiment F0A).

[0562] UE capability for supporting new SD beam selection or new port selection and reporting may be introduced. For the application target of any of application methods 1 to 8 described above (embodiment F0A), UE capability for supporting new SD beam selection or new port selection and reporting may be introduced.

[0563] According to this embodiment, the UE can properly report the CSI-RS resource corresponding to the reported SD beam / port.

[0564] <Consideration F2> If an extended CSI-RS based on a CJT codebook is supported, some unnecessary functions may be disabled and some parameters / settings may be restricted.

[0565] <Embodiment F2> When N CSI-RS resources for providing an extended CSI-RS configuration are configured based on an extended type 2 CB for CJT or an additional extended type 2 PS CB for CJT, the configuration may not be expected or may be restricted according to at least one of the following options:

[0566] Option 1: The UE uses {L1,...,L TRP} value from N L Therefore, the UE does not expect to set up more than one combination. L Option 1 may follow at least one of several options 1-x below: -- Option 1-1: The UE may report a combination selected from {L1,...,L TRP Only one combination of values ​​of} can be set. n may have the same value.TRP Only one combination of values ​​of} can be set. n may have the same value. TRP If =4 is supported / applied, then {L1,...,L TRP Two combinations of the values ​​of} may be supported / applied. -- Option 1-2: The UE can be configured with only one L value setting. The L value can be applied to N CSI-RS resources. The UE can be configured with only one α value setting. The α value can be applied to N CSI-RS resources. In this case, embodiment D2 or embodiment E1.2 can be reused / repurposed for the parameter combination. For enhanced CSI-RS, the N CSI-RS resources may have the same number of ports and SD / FD beam configuration. This allows the parameter settings for a single TRP to be reused / repurposed instead of using the same parameter settings for multiple TRPs.

[0567] - Option 2: restrictedCMR-Selection may be configured / assumed. The UE may not be allowed to select a subset of the configured CSI-RS resources. In this case, the UE may not be required to report the selected CSI-RS resources.

[0568] - Option 3: Regarding codebook mode setting, mode 1 is not expected to be set, and mode 2 may be set / assumed.

[0569] According to this embodiment, the UE can be configured with appropriate parameters.

[0570] <Embodiment F3> Embodiments D3 / D4 / D5 / D6 may be applied to a case where N CSI-RS resources are configured to provide an extended CSI-RS configuration based on the extended type 2CB for CJT.

[0571] Embodiments E2 / E3 / E4 may be applied to the case where N CSI-RS resources are configured to provide an extended CSI-RS configuration based on the additional extended type 2PS CB for CJT.

[0572] According to this embodiment, the UE can appropriately use the CJT codebook for the enhanced CSI-RS.

[0573] <Analysis G> As mentioned above (CSI processing standard), the CPU occupation (O CPU , number of CPUs consumed) are different.

[0574] <Embodiment G1> In CSI processing for the extended CSI-RS, CPU occupancy may be defined for at least one of the following several codebook types: Type 1 single-panel CB for the extended CSI-RS. Type 1 multi-panel CB for the extended CSI-RS. Type 2 CB for the extended CSI-RS (based on the existing Type 2 CB). Type 2 PS CB for the extended CSI-RS (based on the existing Type 2 PS CB). Type 2 CB for the extended CSI-RS based on the extended Type 2 CB for CJT. Type 2 PS CB for the extended CSI-RS based on the additional extended Type 2 PS CB for CJT.

[0575] One or more CPU occupancy rules may be defined. The rules may depend on at least one of the following cases, or may differ depending on the value of at least one of the following cases: - Codebook type; - Number of CSI-RS ports; Number of CSI-RS ports per CSI-RS resource; Number of CSI-RS ports for all CSI-RS resources; - Number of CSI-RS resources; Number of CSI-RS resources for each value of the number of CSI-RS ports; - Antenna configuration (n1-n2 or ng-n1-n2 or ng1-ng2-n1-n2); - Rank configuration; - Parameter combination configuration; - Report quantity configuration; - A combination of two or more of the above cases.

[0576] According to this embodiment, the UE / base station can properly determine / know the CPU occupation of CSI processing for the enhanced CSI-RS.

[0577] <Embodiment G2> The CPU occupancy rules may follow at least one of the following options.

[0578] - Option 1: O CPU =K S It is. K S may be the number of CSI-RS resources for channel measurement. S = 1. S The supported values ​​of K may depend on the codebook type. For example, for Type 1 CB (Type 1 Single Panel CB / Type 1 Multi Panel CB), S ≥ 1 is supported, and K for Type 2 CB (Extended Type 2 CB / Additional Extended Type 2 PS CB) S Only =1 may be supported.

[0579] - Option 2: O CPU =X*K S Or O CPU =Σ i=0 K_S X i It is. K S may be the number of CSI-RS resources for channel measurement. X or X i may be reported by the UE capabilities. X or X i may depend on at least one of several cases in embodiment G1. S For example, X may be 1 for CSI-RS resources using more than 32 ports and up to 64 ports, or X may be 2 for CSI-RS resources using more than 64 ports. For example, X may be 1 for CSI-RS resources using 128 ports or less and Type 1 CB, X may be 2 for CSI-RS resources using more than 32 ports and up to 64 ports and Type 2 CB / Type 2 PS CB, or X may be 3 for CSI-RS resources using more than 64 ports and Type 2 CB / Type 2 PS CB.

[0580] - Option 2a: O CPU =X*M, where M may be the number of CSI-RS ports configured for channel measurement. M may be defined in the specification, reported by the UE capability, or configured by higher layer parameters. For example, M may be 32.

[0581] - Option 3: O CPU =X+K S Or O CPU =K S +Σ i=0 K_S X i It is. K S may be the number of CSI-RS resources for channel measurement. X or X i may be reported by the UE capabilities. X or X i may depend on at least one of several cases in embodiment G1.

[0582] Option 4: The CPU occupancy rules may be a reuse / adaptation of the CPU occupancy rules previously defined for the CJT CSI, or may be an update / extension of the CPU occupancy rules previously defined for the CJT CSI. CPU =Y1*X*N TRP Or O CPU =(X+Y2)*N TRP For example, for CSI-RS with more than 32 ports, Y1 or Y2 may be reported according to the UE capabilities. For example, for CSI-RS with 32 or fewer ports, Y1=1 or Y2=0.

[0583] According to this embodiment, the UE / base station can use appropriate CPU occupancy rules for the enhanced CSI-RS.

[0584] <CSI Calculation Time> The CSI calculation delay requirement 1 (FIG. 48) described above (UE CSI calculation time) indicates (Z1, Z'1) [symbols] for μ∈{0, 1, 2, 3}.

[0585] The CSI calculation delay requirement 2 (FIG. 49) described above (UE CSI calculation time) indicates (Z1, Z'1), (Z2, Z'2), and (Z3, Z'3) [symbols] for μ∈{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

[0616] (Wireless Communication System) The configuration of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below. In this wireless communication system, communication is performed using any one of the wireless communication methods according to the above embodiments of the present disclosure or a combination thereof.

[0617] 50 is a diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment. The wireless communication system 1 (which may be simply referred to as system 1) may be a system that realizes communication using Long Term Evolution (LTE) specified by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), 5th generation mobile communication system New Radio (5G NR), or the like.

[0618] The wireless communication system 1 may also support dual connectivity between multiple Radio Access Technologies (RATs) (Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity (MR-DC)). MR-DC may include dual connectivity between LTE (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)) and NR (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity (EN-DC)), dual connectivity between NR and LTE (NR-E-UTRA Dual Connectivity (NE-DC)), etc.

[0619] In EN-DC, the LTE (E-UTRA) base station (eNB) is the master node (Master Node (MN)), and the NR base station (gNB) is the secondary node (Secondary Node (SN)). In NE-DC, the NR base station (gNB) is the MN, and the LTE (E-UTRA) base station (eNB) is the SN.

[0620] The wireless communication system 1 may support dual connectivity between multiple base stations within the same RAT (for example, dual connectivity in which both the MN and SN are NR base stations (gNBs) (NR-NR Dual Connectivity (NN-DC))).

[0621] The wireless communication system 1 may include a base station 11 that forms a macrocell C1 with a relatively wide coverage, and base stations 12 (12a-12c) that are located within the macrocell C1 and form small cells C2 that are smaller than the macrocell C1. A user terminal 20 may be located within at least one of the cells. The locations and numbers of the cells and user terminals 20 are not limited to the embodiment shown in the figure. Hereinafter, when there is no need to distinguish between the base stations 11 and 12, they will be collectively referred to as base station 10.

[0622] The user terminal 20 may be connected to at least one of the multiple base stations 10. The user terminal 20 may utilize at least one of carrier aggregation (CA) using multiple component carriers (CCs) and dual connectivity (DC).

[0623] Each CC may be included in at least one of a first frequency band (Frequency Range 1 (FR1)) and a second frequency band (Frequency Range 2 (FR2)). The macro cell C1 may be included in FR1, and the small cell C2 may be included in FR2. For example, FR1 may be a frequency band of 6 GHz or less (sub-6 GHz), and FR2 may be a frequency band higher than 24 GHz (above-24 GHz). Note that the frequency bands and definitions of FR1 and FR2 are not limited to these, and for example, FR1 may correspond to a higher frequency band than FR2.

[0624] Furthermore, the user terminal 20 may perform communication using at least one of time division duplex (TDD) and frequency division duplex (FDD) in each CC.

[0625] The multiple base stations 10 may be connected by wire (e.g., optical fiber compliant with the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), an X2 interface, etc.) or wirelessly (e.g., NR communication). For example, when NR communication is used as a backhaul between the base stations 11 and 12, the base station 11 corresponding to the upper station may be called an Integrated Access Backhaul (IAB) donor, and the base station 12 corresponding to the relay station (relay) may be called an IAB node.

[0626] The base station 10 may be connected to the core network 30 directly or via another base station 10. The core network 30 may include, for example, at least one of an Evolved Packet Core (EPC), a 5G Core Network (5GCN), a Next Generation Core (NGC), and the like.

A single network node may provide multiple functions. Communication with an external network (e.g., the Internet) may also be performed via the DN.

[0628] The user terminal 20 may be a terminal that supports at least one of communication methods such as LTE, LTE-A, and 5G.

[0629] An Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM)-based radio access scheme may be used in the wireless communication system 1. For example, Cyclic Prefix OFDM (CP-OFDM), Discrete Fourier Transform Spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), or the like may be used in at least one of the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL).

[0630] The radio access scheme may also be called a waveform. Note that in the wireless communication system 1, other radio access schemes (e.g., other single-carrier transmission schemes, other multi-carrier transmission schemes) may be used as the UL and DL radio access schemes.

[0631] In the wireless communication system 1, a downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH)) shared by each user terminal 20, a broadcast channel (Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH)), a downlink control channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH)), etc. may be used as the downlink channel.

[0632] Furthermore, in the wireless communication system 1, an uplink shared channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)) shared by each user terminal 20, an uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)), a random access channel (Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH)), or the like may be used as an uplink channel.

[0633] The PDSCH transmits user data, higher layer control information, a System Information Block (SIB), etc. The PUSCH may transmit user data, higher layer control information, etc. Furthermore, the PBCH may transmit a Master Information Block (MIB).

[0634] Lower layer control information may be transmitted by the PDCCH. The lower layer control information may include, for example, Downlink Control Information (DCI) including scheduling information for at least one of the PDSCH and the PUSCH.

[0635] Note that the DCI for scheduling the PDSCH may be referred to as a DL assignment, a DL DCI, etc., and the DCI for scheduling the PUSCH may be referred to as a UL grant, a UL DCI, etc. Note that the PDSCH may be replaced with DL data, and the PUSCH may be replaced with UL data.

[0636] A control resource set (CORESET) and a search space may be used to detect the PDCCH. The CORESET corresponds to resources for searching for DCI. The search space corresponds to a search region and a search method for PDCCH candidates. One CORESET may be associated with one or more search spaces. The UE may monitor the CORESET associated with a certain search space based on the search space configuration.

[0637] One search space may correspond to PDCCH candidates corresponding to one or more aggregation levels. One or more search spaces may be referred to as a search space set. Note that the terms "search space," "search space set," "search space configuration," "search space set configuration," "CORESET," "CORESET configuration," and the like in the present disclosure may be read interchangeably.

[0638] The PUCCH may transmit uplink control information (UCI) including at least one of channel state information (CSI), delivery confirmation information (which may be called, for example, Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK), ACK / NACK, etc.), and scheduling request (SR). The PRACH may transmit a random access preamble for establishing a connection with a cell.

[0639] In the present disclosure, downlink, uplink, etc. may be expressed without adding "link." Also, various channels may be expressed without adding "Physical" to the beginning.

[0640] In the wireless communication system 1, a synchronization signal (SS), a downlink reference signal (DL-RS), etc. may be transmitted. In the wireless communication system 1, as the DL-RS, a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), a positioning reference signal (PRS), a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS), etc. may be transmitted.

[0641] The synchronization signal may be, for example, at least one of a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS) and a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS). A signal block including an SS (PSS, SSS) and a PBCH (and a DMRS for the PBCH) may be referred to as an SS / PBCH block, an SS Block (SSB), or the like. Note that the SS, SSB, and the like may also be referred to as a reference signal.

[0642] Furthermore, in the wireless communication system 1, a sounding reference signal (SRS), a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), or the like may be transmitted as an uplink reference signal (UL-RS). Note that the DMRS may also be called a user equipment-specific reference signal (UE-specific reference signal).

These functional blocks (components) are realized by any combination of at least one of hardware and software. Furthermore, the method for realizing each functional block is not particularly limited. That is, each functional block may be realized using a single device that is physically or logically coupled, or may be realized using two or more physically or logically separated devices that are directly or indirectly connected (for example, using wires, wirelessly, etc.) and these multiple devices. The functional block may be realized by combining software with the single device or the multiple devices.

[0706] In the present disclosure, the terms apparatus, circuit, device, section, unit, etc. may be used interchangeably. The hardware configurations of the base station 10 and the user terminal 20 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.

[0707] For example, although only one processor 1001 is shown, there may be multiple processors. Furthermore, processing may be performed by one processor, or processing may be performed by two or more processors simultaneously, serially, or in other ways. Furthermore, processor 1001 may be implemented by one or more chips.

[0708] Each function in the base station 10 and the user terminal 20 is realized, for example, by loading specified software (programs) onto hardware such as a processor 1001 and a memory 1002, causing the processor 1001 to perform calculations, control communication via the communication device 1004, and control at least one of reading and writing data in the memory 1002 and the storage 1003.

[0709] The processor 1001, for example, runs an operating system to control the entire computer. The processor 1001 may be configured as a central processing unit (CPU) including an interface with peripheral devices, a control device, an arithmetic unit, a register, etc. For example, at least a part of the above-mentioned control unit 110 (210), transceiver unit 120 (220), etc. may be realized by the processor 1001.

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 110 (210) may be implemented by a control program stored in the memory 1002 and running on the processor 1001, and the other functional blocks may be implemented in a similar manner.

[0711] The memory 1002 is a computer-readable recording medium and may be configured by at least one of, for example, Read Only Memory (ROM), Erasable Programmable ROM (EPROM), Electrically EEPROM (EEPROM), Random Access Memory (RAM), or other suitable storage medium.

Storage 1003 may also be referred to as an auxiliary storage device.

[0713] The communication device 1004 is hardware (transmission / reception device) for communicating between computers via at least one of a wired network and a wireless network, 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, etc. to realize at least one of frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD). For example, the above-mentioned transmission / reception unit 120 (220), transmission / reception antenna 130 (230), etc. may be realized by the communication device 1004. The transmission / reception unit 120 (220) may be implemented as a transmission unit 120a (220a) and a reception unit 120b (220b) that are physically or logically separated.

The output device 1006 is an output device (e.g., a display, a speaker, a light emitting diode (LED) lamp, etc.) that outputs to the outside.

For example, the processor 1001 may be implemented using at least one of these pieces of hardware.

[0717] (Modifications) Note that terms described in the present disclosure and terms necessary for understanding the present disclosure may be replaced with terms having the same or similar meanings. For example, a channel, a symbol, and a signal (signal or signaling) may be interchangeable. A signal may also be a message. A reference signal may be abbreviated as RS, and may also be called a pilot, pilot signal, etc. depending on the applicable standard. A component carrier (CC) may also be called a cell, frequency carrier, carrier frequency, etc.

[0718] A radio frame may be composed of one or more periods (frames) in the time domain. Each of the one or more periods (frames) constituting a radio frame may be called a subframe. Furthermore, a subframe may 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.

[0719] Here, the numerology may be a communication parameter applied to at least one of transmission and reception of a signal or channel, and may indicate at least one of, for example, Subcarrier Spacing (SCS), bandwidth, symbol length, cyclic prefix length, Transmission Time Interval (TTI), number of symbols per TTI, radio frame structure, specific filtering performed by a transceiver in the frequency domain, and specific windowing performed by a transceiver in the time domain.

[0720] A slot may be composed of one or more symbols (such as an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol or a Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbol) in the time domain. A slot may also be a time unit based on numerology.

[0721] A slot may include multiple minislots. Each minislot may consist of one or multiple symbols in the time domain. A minislot may also be called a subslot. A minislot may consist of fewer symbols than a slot. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted in a time unit larger than a minislot may be called PDSCH (PUSCH) mapping type A. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using a minislot may be called PDSCH (PUSCH) mapping type B.

[0722] A radio frame, a subframe, a slot, a minislot, and a symbol all represent time units for transmitting signals. The radio frame, the subframe, the slot, the minislot, and the symbol may be referred to by other names corresponding to the radio frame, the subframe, the slot, the minislot, and the symbol. Note that the time units such as a frame, a subframe, a slot, a minislot, and a symbol in the present disclosure may be interchangeable.

[0723] For example, one subframe may be referred to as a TTI, or multiple consecutive subframes may be referred to as a TTI, or one slot or one minislot may be referred to as a TTI. That is, at least one of the subframe and the TTI may be a subframe (1 ms) in existing LTE, a period shorter than 1 ms (for example, 1-13 symbols), or a period longer than 1 ms. Note that the unit representing the TTI may be called a slot, minislot, etc. instead of a subframe.

[0724] Here, TTI refers to, for example, the smallest time unit for scheduling in wireless communication. For example, in an LTE system, a base station performs scheduling to allocate radio resources (such as frequency bandwidth and transmission power that can be used by each user terminal) to each user terminal in TTI units. Note that the definition of TTI is not limited to this.

[0725] 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) to which a transport block, a code block, a code word, etc. is actually mapped may be shorter than the TTI.

[0726] When one slot or one minislot is called a TTI, one or more TTIs (i.e., one or more slots or one or more minislots) may be the minimum time unit for scheduling. Also, the number of slots (minislots) constituting the minimum time unit for scheduling may be controlled.

[0727] A TTI having a time length of 1 ms may be called a regular TTI (TTI in 3GPP Rel. 8-12), normal TTI, long TTI, regular subframe, normal subframe, long subframe, slot, etc. A TTI shorter than a regular TTI may be called a shortened TTI, short TTI, partial or fractional TTI, shortened subframe, short subframe, minislot, subslot, slot, etc.

[0728] In addition, a long TTI (e.g., a normal TTI, a subframe, etc.) may be interpreted as a TTI having a time length of more than 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 greater than or equal to 1 ms.

[0729] 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 numerology, for example, 12. The number of subcarriers included in an RB may be determined based on numerology.

[0730] In addition, an RB may include one or more symbols in the time domain and may have a length of one slot, one minislot, one subframe, or one TTI, each of which may be composed of one or more resource blocks.

[0731] In addition, one or more RBs may be referred to as a physical resource block (PRB), a sub-carrier group (SCG), a resource element group (REG), a PRB pair, an RB pair, etc.

[0732] 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.

[0733] A Bandwidth Part (BWP), which may also be referred to as a partial bandwidth, may represent a subset of contiguous common resource blocks (RBs) for a given numerology on a given carrier, where the common RBs may be identified by their index relative to a Common Reference Point of the carrier. PRBs may be defined in a BWP and numbered within the BWP.

[0734] The BWP may include a UL BWP (BWP for UL) and a DL BWP (BWP for DL). One or more BWPs may be configured for a UE within one carrier.

[0735] 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 read as "BWP."

[0736] The above-described 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.

[0737] Furthermore, the information, parameters, etc. described in the present disclosure may be expressed using absolute values, may be expressed using relative values ​​from a predetermined value, or may be expressed using other corresponding information. For example, a radio resource may be indicated by a predetermined index.

Furthermore, the mathematical expressions and the like using these parameters may differ from those explicitly disclosed in this disclosure. The various channels (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 intended to be limiting in any way.
