[0008] This specification describes embodiments using LTE systems, LTE-A systems and NR systems, but these embodiments may be applied to any communication system corresponding to the above definitions.

[0009] In addition, the name of the base station may be used as a comprehensive term including RRH (remote radio head), eNB, TP (transmission point), RP (reception point), relay, etc.

[0010] 3GPP-based communication standards define downlink physical channels corresponding to resource elements that carry information originating from upper layers, and downlink physical signals corresponding to resource elements used by the physical layer but not carrying information originating from upper layers. For example, physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), physical broadcast channel (PBCH), physical multicast channel (PMCH), physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH), physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), and physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel (PHICH) are defined as downlink physical channels, and reference signals and synchronization signals are defined as downlink physical signals. A reference signal (RS), also referred to as a pilot, refers to a signal of a specific waveform that is known to both the gNB and the UE. For example, cell-specific RS, UE-specific RS (UE-RS), positioning RS (PRS), and channel state information RS (CSI-RS) are defined as downlink reference signals. The 3GPP LTE / LTE-A standard defines uplink physical channels corresponding to resource elements carrying information originating from upper layers, and uplink physical signals corresponding to resource elements used by the physical layer but not carrying information originating from upper layers.For example, the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), and physical random access channel (PRACH) are defined as uplink physical channels, and the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for uplink control / data signals and the sounding reference signal (SRS) used for uplink channel measurement are defined.

[0011] In this specification, PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) / PCFICH (Physical Control Format Indicator Channel) / PHICH (Physical Hybrid automatic retransmit request Indicator Channel) / PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) each refers to a set of time-frequency resources or a set of resource elements carrying DCI (Downlink Control Information) / CFI (Control Format Indicator) / downlink ACK / NACK (ACKnowlegement / Negative ACK) / downlink data. Additionally, PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) / PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) / PRACH (Physical Random Access Channel) each refers to a set of time-frequency resources or a set of resource elements carrying UCI (Uplink Control Information) / uplink data / random access signals.

[0012] Figure 1 illustrates the structure of a wireless frame used in NR.

[0013] In NR, uplink and downlink transmissions consist of frames. A radio frame has a length of 10 ms and is defined as two 5 ms half-frames (HF). A half-frame is defined as five 1 ms subframes (SF). A subframe is divided into one or more slots, and the number of slots within a subframe depends on the subcarrier spacing (SCS). Each slot contains 12 or 14 OFDM(A) symbols depending on the cyclic prefix (CP). When a standard CP is used, each slot contains 14 symbols. When an extended CP is used, each slot contains 12 symbols. Here, the symbols may include OFDM symbols (or CP-OFDM symbols) or SC-FDMA symbols (or DFT-s-OFDM symbols).

[0014] Table 1 illustrates how the number of symbols per slot, the number of slots per frame, and the number of slots per subframe vary depending on the SCS when a standard CP is used.

[0019] Table 2 illustrates how the number of symbols per slot, the number of slots per frame, and the number of slots per subframe vary depending on the SCS when an extended CP is used.

[0021] ​​​In an NR system, the OFDM(A) numerology (e.g., SCS, CP length, etc.) can be configured differently among multiple cells that are merged into a single terminal. Accordingly, the (absolute time) interval of a time resource (e.g., SF, slot, or TTI) (collectively referred to as TU (Time Unit) for convenience) composed of the same number of symbols can be configured differently among the merged cells.

[0022] Figure 2 illustrates the slot structure of an NR frame.

[0023] A slot contains multiple symbols in the time domain. For example, in the case of a standard CP, one slot contains 14 symbols, whereas in the case of an extended CP, one slot contains 12 symbols. A carrier contains multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain. A Resource Block (RB) is defined as multiple (e.g., 12) consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. A Bandwidth Part (BWP) is defined as multiple consecutive (P)RBs in the frequency domain and can correspond to a single numerology (e.g., SCS, CP length, etc.). A carrier can contain up to N (e.g., 4) BWPs. Data communication is performed through the active BWPs, and only one BWP can be active for a single terminal. In the resource grid, each element is referred to as a Resource Element (RE) and can be mapped to a single complex symbol.

[0024] Figure 3 illustrates the structure of a self-contained slot.

[0025] In an NR system, a frame is characterized by a self-complete structure in which a DL control channel, DL or UL data, a UL control channel, etc., can all be included within a single slot. For example, the first N symbols within the slot are used to transmit a DL control channel (hereinafter referred to as the DL control area), and the last M symbols within the slot may be used to transmit a UL control channel (hereinafter referred to as the UL control area). N and M are each integers greater than or equal to 0. The resource area (hereinafter referred to as the data area) located between the DL control area and the UL control area may be used for transmitting DL data or for transmitting UL data. As an example, the following configuration can be considered. Each section is listed in chronological order.

[0026] 1. DL only configuration

[0027] 2. UL only configuration

[0028] 3. Mixed UL-DL Configuration

[0029] - DL Area + GP (Guard Period) + UL Control Area

[0030] - DL Control Area + GP + UL Area

[0031] DL Area: (i) DL Data Area, (ii) DL Control Area + DL Data Area

[0032] UL Area: (i) UL Data Area, (ii) UL Data Area + UL Control Area

[0033] PDCCH can be transmitted in the DL control area, and PDSCH can be transmitted in the DL data area. PUCCH can be transmitted in the UL control area, and PUSCH can be transmitted in the UL data area. Downlink Control Information (DCI), such as DL data scheduling information and UL data scheduling information, can be transmitted in PDCCH. Uplink Control Information (UCI), such as ACK / NACK (Positive Acknowledgement / Negative Acknowledgement) information for DL ​​data, Channel State Information (CSI), and Scheduling Request (SR), can be transmitted in PUCCH. GP provides a time gap during the process of the base station and the terminal switching from transmit mode to receive mode or from receive mode to transmit mode. Within a subframe, some symbols at the point of transition from DL to UL can be set as GP.

[0034] <Disclosure of the present specification>

[0035] The present invention proposes a method for UEs to report new beams to the network more actively and resourcefully in a 3GPP NR system for UE-Initiated Beam Reporting (UEIBR).

[0036] In particular, a multiplexing method is provided when UEIBR Uplink Channel Information (UCI) is PUCCH Format 0 and another UCI is PUCCH Format 1, or when UEIBR UCI is PUCCH Format 1 and another UCI is PUCCH Format 2.

[0037] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the legacy reporting method and the UEIBR method.

[0038] In existing beam management procedures, the network can configure or enable frequent periodic or semi-persistent beam reporting, or frequently trigger non-periodic beam reporting to ensure optimal / preferred beams for data and control transmissions are secured in a timely manner. However, this approach clearly leads to the problem of increased uplink reporting and control signal overhead. On the other hand, if the beam reporting frequency is reduced, the beam information reported by the UE becomes outdated, preventing the network from always servicing the UE with the optimal beam, which can lead to performance degradation. Conversely, since the UE can identify changes in beam quality more quickly and accurately, applying UEIBR allows for the provision of beam information more timely while reducing reporting overhead. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram comparing the legacy reporting method and the UEIBR method.

[0039] Referring to Figure 4, the terminal measures the quality of Beam 1 and Beam 2 at every moment, and the optimal beam changes from Beam 1 to Beam 2 around time ①. Therefore, it is optimal to be served by Beam 2 after time ①. However, in the case of the legacy reporting method, the terminal must report the beam at a fixed interval, so it cannot report at time ① and can only report to replace the beam at time ②, which is the earliest reporting time after time ①. However, this results in performance degradation because the terminal is served by a beam that is no longer the optimal beam from time ① to time ②. On the other hand, in the case of UEIBR, the terminal can report at time ①, immediately upon measuring that the optimal beam is Beam 2. Therefore, performance degradation can be prevented.

[0040] The Work Item Description (WID) of UEIBR defined in the NR MIMO Phase 5 item of 3GPP Release 19 is as follows.

[0041] 1. Specify enhancement to facilitate UE-initiated / event-driven beam management for reducing overhead and / or latency, assuming the unified TCI while leveraging (as much as possible) legacy CSI measurement and reporting configuration frameworks, targeting FR2 and sTRP with intra- and inter-cell beam management

[0042] a. UL signaling content(s) (and procedure(s) as required) for UE-initiated / event-driven beam reporting facilitating fast beam switching

[0043] b. UL signaling medium / container considering the UE-initiated / event-driven nature of the UL transmission, designed primarily for the purpose of beam reporting

[0044] WG1 #119 회의에서 아래와 같은 내용들이 합의되었다.

[0045] Agreement

[0046] Confirm the following working assumption in RAN1#117:

[0047] On beam report transmission procedure for UE-initiated / event-driven beam reporting

[0048] - For mode-A, at least support one-bit indication in the first PUCCH channel to request a resource for a second UL channel to carry beam report.

[0049] o In such case, a periodic PUCCH resource (with PUCCH format 0 / 1) is configured by dedicated RRC signaling.

[0050] - For mode-B, at least support one-bit indication in the first PUCCH channel to notify a second UL channel to carry beam report.

[0051] o In such case, a periodic PUCCH resource (with PUCCH format 0 / 1) is configured by dedicated RRC signaling.

[0052] - FFS: Whether / how to support multi-bit indication in the first PUCCH for mode-A and mode-B, e.g., when multi-event(s) are approved.

[0053] - FFS: details on the dedicated RRC signaling

[0054] Agreement

[0055] On beam report transmission procedure for UE-initiated / event-driven beam reporting, regarding first PUCCH channel configuration, Alt-2 is supported for both mode-A and mode-B: the first PUCCH channel is a new UCI type

[0056] - Alt-2 (new UCI type): Introduce RRC parameter, e.g., firstPUCCHResourceConfig- UEIBR, for the periodic PUCCH resource configuration.

[0057] * It is RAN1's understanding that the RRC parameter is NOT associated with SchedulingRequestId.

[0058] * 1-bit to PUCCH resource is encoded by reusing the encoding mechanism of positive / negative SR.

[0059] * The dedicated RRC parameter at least comprises the following:

[0060] periodicityAndOffset

[0061] PUCCH-ResourceID

[0062] - Above applies at least for the single CC case.

[0063] - Reuse multiplexing / dropping rule(s) of SR as baseline

[0064] * FFS: overlapping with SR / LRR or PUSCH

[0065] Note: Further details on first PUCCH retransmission (if supported) for mode A and mode B will be continued to be separately discussed in RAN1.

[0066] According to the agreement reached at the RAN1 #119 meeting, RRC parameters related to a PUCCH resource for transmitting a UEIBR UCI named firstPUCCHResourceConfig-UEIBR will be defined. Additionally, it was agreed to set the PUCCH resource ID and period for the said PUCCH resource. At the RAN1 #117 meeting, it was agreed to set the format of firstPUCCHResourceConfig-UEIBR to 0 or 1.

[0067] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating the case where PUCCH resources and PUSCH resources overlap.

[0068] When PUCCH resources for transmitting UEIBR Uplink Channel Information (UCI) are allocated periodically, said PUCCH resources may overlap with the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) in the time domain.

[0069] Figure 5 illustrates a case where PUCCH resources and PUSCH resources for UEIBR UCI transmission overlap in the time domain. The present invention provides a method for dropping and multiplexing when PUCCH resources allocated for UEIBR UCI transmission overlap with PUSCH resources.

[0070] Dropping method

[0071] 1. UEIBR UCI drop:

[0072] The terminal always drops the UEIBR UCI transmission if the PUCCH and PUSCH resources for the UEIBR UCI transmission overlap.

[0073] 2. PUSCH Priority-based drop:

[0074] The terminal determines whether to drop the UEIBR UCI by distinguishing the priority of the PUSCH.

[0075] [Example] Dropping rule: It can be set as Priority 1 PUSCH > Priority 2 PUSCH > UEIBR UCI > Priority 3 PUSCH. In this case, the terminal decides whether to drop UEIBR based on the PUSCH priority.

[0076] PUSCH Priority can be set by the base station.

[0077] In the present invention, the PUSCH priority may vary depending on the type of information included in the PUSCH (e.g., channel status information, scheduling requests, HARQ responses, etc.) or the importance of the information that the terminal intends to transmit, and the present invention does not specify the factors determining the priority.

[0078] 3. Count-based drop:

[0079] If the PUCCH resource and PUSCH resource for UEIBR UCI transmission overlap, the terminal increases the count value. If the count value is less than or equal to the set count threshold value, the UEIBR UCI transmission is dropped.

[0080] Count threshold value(s) can be set from the base station.

[0081] If the Count value exceeds the threshold, PUSCH can be dropped.

[0082] The dropable count value can be set differently depending on the PUSCH priority.

[0083] [Example]. Table 3

[0084] Count value Dropable PUSCH Priority 1 PUSCH Priority 2 PUSCH Priority 3 PUSCH

[0085] The terminal resets the count after dropping the PUSCH.

[0086] In the present invention, if the count threshold value is not separately set, the terminal assumes the count threshold value to be 0.

[0087] Multiplexing method

[0088] 1. Resource Element (RE) Puncturing:

[0089] The base station can reserve an RE for 1-bit UEIBR UCI transmission, and if the PUCCH resource and PUSCH resource for UEIBR UCI transmission overlap, the terminal punctures a 1-bit into the reserved RE of PUSCH for UEIBR UCI transmission.

[0090] The terminal can receive the following information from the base station.

[0091] The following information is information required by the terminal for UEIBR UCI transmission and includes RE location information for UEIBR UCI transmission, a channel coding method for modulating 1-bit, and a symbol modulation scheme.

[0092] i. First OFDM symbol in time domain: reserved RE position start time position information

[0093] ii. First subcarrier in frequency domain: reserved. Starting frequency location information of the RE position.

[0094] iii. Periodic spacing in time domain: Periodic interval information in the time domain

[0095] iv. Periodic spacing in frequency domain: Periodic spacing information in the frequency domain

[0096] v. Total number of OFDM symbols: Total length information in the time domain

[0097] vi. Total number of subcarriers: Total length information in the frequency domain

[0098] vii. Coding scheme and modulation: Information for encoding 1-bits and symbol modulation

[0099] The terminal identifies the location to insert the UEIBR UCI using the following information, applies the configured channel coding and symbol modulation scheme, and transmits it via the PUCCH resource.

[0100] After transmission, the terminal expects to receive DCI containing the CSI report request.
