[0050] FIG. 1 illustrates a device-to-device communication procedure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 1 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 1, in step S101, a first device and a second device can perform synchronization. For example, the first device can be a terminal and / or at least one of the devices proposed in the present disclosure. For example, the second device can be a base station, a network, a RAN node, an NTN node / cell, a TRP, a terminal and / or at least one of the devices proposed in the present disclosure. For example, the first device can perform an initial cell search operation. For example, the first device can detect at least one synchronization signal transmitted by the second device according to a predefined rule. Here, for example, the synchronization signal can include a plurality of synchronization signals classified according to a structure or purpose (e.g., a primary synchronization signal, a secondary synchronization signal, etc.). Through this, the first device can identify the boundaries of the frame, subframe, time unit, slot, and / or symbol of the second device, and the first device can obtain information about the second device (e.g., a cell identifier).

[0052] In step S103, the first device can obtain system information transmitted by the second device. For example, the system information may include information related to the properties, characteristics, and / or capabilities of the second device required to connect to the second device and use the service. For example, the system information may be classified according to content (e.g., whether it is essential for connection), transmission structure (e.g., the channel used, whether it is provided on-demand), etc. For example, the system information may be classified into a master information block (MIB) and a system information block (SIB). For example, if necessary, the first device may transmit a signal requesting system information before receiving the system information. For example, the request and provision of system information may be performed after a random access procedure described below.

[0053] In step S105, the first device and the second device can perform a random access procedure. For example, the first device can transmit and / or receive at least one message (e.g., a random access preamble, a random access response message, etc.) for the random access procedure based on information related to a random access channel of the second device obtained through system information (e.g., channel location, channel structure, structure of supported preamble, etc.). For example, the first device can transmit a preamble (e.g., Msg1) through the random access channel, the first device can receive a random access response message (e.g., Msg2), the first device can transmit a message (e.g., Msg3) including information related to the first device (e.g., identification information) to the second device using scheduling information included in the random access response message, and the first device can receive a message (e.g., Msg4) for contention resolution and / or connection establishment. For example, Msg1 and Msg3 can be sent and received as one message (e.g., MsgA), and / or Msg2 and Msg4 can be sent and received as one message (e.g., MsgB).

[0054] In step S107, the first device and the second device may perform signaling of control information. Here, for example, the control information may be defined in various layers, such as a layer that controls a connection (e.g., a radio resource control (RRC) layer), a layer that handles mapping between logical channels and transport channels (e.g., a media access control (MAC) layer), a layer that handles physical channels (e.g., a physical (PHY) layer), etc. For example, the first device and the second device may perform at least one of signaling for establishing a connection, signaling for determining settings related to communication, and / or signaling for indicating allocated resources. For example, the control information may be signaled / transmitted via a control channel. For example, the control information and / or the control channel may be used to schedule at least one of data, a data channel (e.g., a shared channel), and / or control information on the data channel.

[0055] In step S109, the first device and the second device may transmit and / or receive data. For example, the first device and the second device may process, transmit, and / or receive data based on signaling of control information. For example, when transmitting data, the first device or the second device may perform at least one of channel encoding, rate matching, scrambling, constellation mapping, layer mapping, waveform modulation, antenna mapping, and / or resource mapping on the information bits. For example, when receiving data, the first device or the second device may perform at least one of signal extraction from resources, waveform demodulation for each antenna, signal arrangement considering layer mapping, constellation demapping, descrambling, and / or channel decoding.

[0056] For example, the layers of a radio interface protocol between a first device and a second device can be divided into L1 (layer 1), L2 (layer 2), L3 (layer 3), etc. For example, a physical layer belonging to the first layer can provide an information transfer service using a physical channel, and an RRC (radio resource control) layer located in the third layer can play a role in controlling radio resources between the first device and the second device. For this purpose, for example, the RRC layer can exchange RRC messages between the first device and the second device.

[0057] FIG. 2 illustrates a radio protocol architecture according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 2 can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, (a) of FIG. 2 may illustrate a radio protocol stack of a user plane for uplink communication or downlink communication, and (b) of FIG. 2 may illustrate a radio protocol stack of a control plane for uplink communication or downlink communication. For example, (c) of FIG. 2 may illustrate a radio protocol stack of a user plane for device-to-device communication, and (d) of FIG. 2 may illustrate a radio protocol stack of a control plane for device-to-device communication.

[0058] For example, the physical layer can provide information transmission services to upper layers using physical channels. For example, the physical layer can be connected to the upper layer, the medium access control (MAC) layer, through a transport channel. For example, data can be transmitted between the MAC layer and the physical layer through the transport channel. For example, transport channels can be classified according to how and with what characteristics data is transmitted over the wireless interface. For example, data can be transmitted between different physical layers, for example, between the physical layers of a first device and a second device, through a physical channel. For example, the physical channel can be modulated using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme, and time and frequency can be utilized as radio resources.

[0059] For example, the MAC layer can provide services to the upper layer, the radio link control (RLC) layer, through logical channels. For example, the MAC layer can provide a mapping function from multiple logical channels to multiple transport channels. For example, the MAC layer can provide a logical channel multiplexing function by mapping multiple logical channels to a single transport channel. For example, the MAC sublayer can provide data transmission services on logical channels.

[0060] For example, the RLC layer can perform concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC service data units (SDUs). For example, to guarantee the various quality of service (QoS) required by radio bearers (RBs), the RLC layer can provide three operating modes: transparent mode (TM), unacknowledged mode (UM), and acknowledged mode (AM). For example, AM RLC can provide error correction through automatic repeat request (ARQ).

[0061] For example, the RRC (radio resource control) layer can be defined only in the control plane. For example, the RRC layer can be responsible for controlling logical channels, transport channels, and physical channels in relation to the configuration, re-configuration, and release of radio bearers. For example, an RB can mean a logical path provided by a first layer (e.g., a physical layer) and a second layer (e.g., a MAC layer, an RLC layer, a PDCP (packet data convergence protocol) layer, a SDAP (service data adaptation protocol) layer, etc.) for data transmission between a first device and a second device.

[0062] For example, the functions of the PDCP layer in the user plane may include the forwarding of user data, header compression, and ciphering. For example, the functions of the PDCP layer in the control plane may include the forwarding of control plane data and ciphering / integrity protection.

[0063] For example, establishing an RB can refer to the process of defining the characteristics of the radio protocol layer and channel to provide a specific service, and setting specific parameters and operating methods for each. For example, RBs can be divided into two types: signaling radio bearers (SRBs) and data radio bearers (DRBs). For example, SRBs can be used as a channel to transmit RRC messages in the control plane, while DRBs can be used as a channel to transmit user data in the user plane.

[0064] For example, a downlink transmission channel may include at least one of a broadcast channel (BCH) for transmitting system information, and / or a downlink shared channel (SCH) for transmitting user traffic or control messages. For example, traffic or control messages of a downlink multicast or broadcast service may be transmitted through the downlink SCH, or may be transmitted through a separate downlink multicast channel (MCH). Meanwhile, an uplink transmission channel may include at least one of a random access channel (RACH) for transmitting initial control messages, and / or an uplink shared channel (SCH) for transmitting user traffic or control messages. For example, a logical channel located above a transmission channel and mapped to the transmission channel may include at least one of a broadcast control channel (BCCH), a paging control channel (PCCH), a common control channel (CCCH), a multicast control channel (MCCH), and / or a multicast traffic channel (MTCH).

[0065] FIG. 3 illustrates the structure of a wireless frame according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 3 can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 3, for example, a radio frame may be used in uplink transmission, downlink transmission, and / or device-to-device transmission. For example, a radio frame may have a length of 10 ms and may be defined as two 5 ms half-frames (HF). For example, a half-frame may include five 1 ms subframes (SF). For example, a subframe may be divided into one or more slots, and the number of slots within a subframe may be determined according to a subcarrier spacing (SCS). For example, each slot may include 12 or 14 OFDM (A) symbols, depending on a cyclic prefix (CP).

[0067] For example, when normal CP is used, each slot can contain 14 symbols. For example, when extended CP is used, each slot can contain 12 symbols. Here, for example, the symbols can contain OFDM symbols (or CP-OFDM symbols), SC-FDMA (single carrier-FDMA) symbols (or DFT-s-OFDM (Discrete Fourier Transform-spread-OFDM) symbols).

[0068] Table 2 below shows the number of symbols per slot (N) depending on the SCS setting (u) when normal CP or extended CP is used. slot symb ), number of slots per frame (N frame,u slot ) and the number of slots per subframe (N subframe,u slot ) is an example.

[0069] CP type SCS (15*2u )N slot symb N frame,u slot N subframe,u slot Normal CP15kHz (u=0)1410130kHz (u=1)1420260kHz (u=2)14404120kHz (u=3)14808240kHz (u=4)1416016Extended CP60kHz (u=2)12404

[0070] For example, OFDM(A) numerology (e.g., SCS, CP length, etc.) may be set differently between multiple cells that are merged into a single terminal. Accordingly, the (absolute time) interval of time resources (e.g., subframes, slots, or transmit time intervals (TTIs)) composed of the same number of symbols may be set differently between the merged cells. For example, in the present disclosure, time resources such as subframes, slots, TTIs, etc. may be referred to as time units.

[0071] For example, multiple numerologies, or SCSs, may be supported to support various services. For example, a 15 kHz SCS may support wide areas in traditional cellular bands, while a 30 kHz / 60 kHz SCS may support dense urban areas, lower latency, and wider carrier bandwidth. For example, a 60 kHz or higher SCS may support bandwidths greater than 24.25 GHz to overcome phase noise.

[0072] FIG. 4 illustrates a slot structure of a frame according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 4 can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0073] Referring to FIG. 4, for example, a slot may include multiple symbols in the time domain. For example, a carrier may include multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain. For example, a resource block (RB) may be defined as multiple consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. For example, a bandwidth part (BWP) may be defined as multiple consecutive (P)RBs ((physical) resource blocks) in the frequency domain, and may correspond to one numerology (e.g., SCS, CP length, etc.). For example, a carrier may include at most N BWPs (where N is a positive integer). For example, data communication may be performed through an activated BWP. For example, each element may be referred to as a resource element (RE) in the resource grid, and one complex symbol may be mapped to it.

[0074] For example, a BWP may be a contiguous set of PRBs in a given numerology. For example, a PRB may be selected from a contiguous subset of common resource blocks (CRBs) for a given numerology on a given carrier.

[0075] For example, the BWP may be at least one of an active BWP, an initial BWP, and / or a default BWP. For example, the UE may not monitor the downlink radio link quality in a DL BWP other than the active DL BWP on the PCell (primary cell). For example, the UE may not receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) (except for radio resource management (RRM)) outside of the active DL BWP. For example, the UE may not trigger channel state information (CSI) reporting for an inactive DL BWP. For example, the UE may not transmit a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) outside of the active UL BWP. For example, for downlink, the initial BWP can be given as a set of consecutive resource blocks (RBs) for the remaining minimum system information (RMSI) CORESET (control resource set) (set by the physical broadcast channel (PBCH)). For uplink, for example, the initial BWP can be given by the system information block (SIB) for the random access procedure. For example, the default BWP can be set by a higher layer. For example, the initial value of the default BWP can be the initial DL BWP.For energy saving, if a terminal does not detect DCI (downlink control information) for a certain period of time, the terminal may switch its active BWP to a default BWP.

[0076] FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a BWP according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 5 can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, it is assumed that there are three BWPs.

[0077] Referring to FIG. 5, for example, a common resource block (CRB) may be a carrier resource block numbered from one end of a carrier band to the other, and a PRB may be a numbered resource block within each BWP. For example, point A may indicate a common reference point for a resource block grid.

[0078] For example, BWP is point A, offset from point A (N start BWP ) and bandwidth (N size BWP ) can be set by. For example, point A can be an outer reference point of the PRB of a carrier where subcarrier 0 of all numerologies (e.g., all numerologies supported by the network on that carrier) aligns. For example, the offset can be the PRB spacing between the lowest subcarrier in a given numerology and point A. For example, the bandwidth can be the number of PRBs in a given numerology.

[0079] FIG. 6 illustrates a communication structure that can be provided in a 6G system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 6 can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0080] As core implementation technologies of the 6G system, technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), THz (terahertz) communication, optical wireless technology, free-space optical transmission (FSO) backhaul networks, massive MIMO (multiple input multiple output) technology, blockchain, 3D networking, quantum communication, unmanned aerial vehicles, cell-free communication, wireless information and energy transfer (WIET), integration of sensing and communication, integration of access backhaul networks, holographic beamforming, big data analysis, and large intelligent surface (LIS) can be adopted.

[0081] - Artificial Intelligence: Incorporating AI into communications can streamline and improve real-time data transmission. AI can use numerous analytics to determine how complex target tasks should be performed. For example, AI can increase efficiency and reduce processing delays. Time-consuming tasks such as handovers, network selection, and resource scheduling can be performed instantly using AI. AI can also play a crucial role in machine-to-machine (M2M), machine-to-human, and human-to-machine communications. AI can also facilitate rapid communication in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). AI-based communication systems can be supported by metamaterials, intelligent structures, intelligent networks, intelligent devices, intelligent cognitive radios, self-sustaining wireless networks, and machine learning.

[0082] - THz communication (terahertz communication): Data rates can be increased by increasing the bandwidth. This can be achieved by using sub-THz communication with wide bandwidths and applying advanced massive MIMO technology. THz waves, also known as sub-millimeter waves, typically refer to the frequency range between 0.1 THz and 10 THz, with corresponding wavelengths ranging from 0.03 mm to 3 mm. The 100 GHz to 300 GHz band (sub-THz band) is considered a key part of the THz spectrum for cellular communications. Adding the sub-THz band to the mmWave band will increase the capacity of 6G cellular communications. Among the defined THz bands, 300 GHz to 3 THz lies in the far infrared (IR) frequency band. While part of the optical band, the 300 GHz to 3 THz band lies at the boundary of the optical band, immediately following the RF band. Therefore, this 300 GHz to 3 THz band exhibits similarities to RF. Key characteristics of THz communications include (i) the widely available bandwidth to support very high data rates and (ii) the high path loss that occurs at high frequencies (requiring highly directional antennas). The narrow beamwidths generated by highly directional antennas reduce interference. The small wavelength of THz signals allows for a significantly larger number of antenna elements to be integrated into devices and base stations operating in this band. This enables the use of advanced adaptive array technologies to overcome range limitations.

[0096] Advanced Air Mobility (AAM): AAM can be a broad concept encompassing urban air mobility (UAM), regional air mobility (RAM), and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). For example, AAM can include UAM, RAM, UAS, and uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs).

[0097] - Autonomous driving (self-driving): V2X (vehicle to everything), a key element in building autonomous driving infrastructure, can be a technology that allows cars to communicate and share with various elements on the road for autonomous driving, such as vehicle to vehicle (V2V) wireless communication and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) wireless communication.

[0098] Non-terrestrial network (NTN): NTN can refer to a network or network segment that utilizes radio frequency (RF) resources mounted on satellites (or UAS platforms). NTN services may be considered to secure wider coverage or provide wireless communication services in locations where the installation of wireless communication base stations is difficult.

[0099] - Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC): Wireless sensing is a technology that uses radio frequencies to determine the instantaneous linear velocity, angle, distance (range), etc. of an object, thereby obtaining information about the characteristics of the environment and / or objects within the environment.

[0100] - Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS): RIS can be used to manipulate and enhance signal propagation in wireless communication environments. For example, a RIS can be composed of many small antennas, or metasurfaces, arranged on a surface, each of which can actively control the phase, amplitude, polarization, etc. of the reflected signal. For example, a RIS can improve signal reception by controlling the path, phase, and / or intensity of the propagating signal. For example, in the case of a RIS, power consumption can be very low because power is consumed only for controlling the phase and amplitude of the small antennas. For example, because a RIS can be reconfigured to suit different environments, it can meet diverse communication requirements and operate effectively in dynamic network environments.

[0101] FIG. 7 illustrates an example of a communication scenario based on a 6G system, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 7 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 7, NTN communication can be performed based on satellite networks, high-altitude platform stations (HAPS) as international mobile telecommunications (IMT) base stations (BS), and terminals capable of aerial communication (e.g., AAMs). For example, to improve coverage, etc., devices such as satellite networks, HIBS, and terminals capable of aerial communication (e.g., AAMs) can act as relays. For example, an AAM can communicate with a base station, a satellite network, etc., and / or an AAM can communicate directly with a terminal, another AAM, etc.

[0103] FIG. 8 illustrates a procedure for downlink transmission and reception according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 8 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0104] Referring to FIG. 8, for example, in step S801, the base station can schedule downlink transmissions such as frequency / time resources, transmission layers, downlink precoder, MCS, etc. For example, the base station can determine a beam for PDSCH transmission of the terminal through the operations described above.

[0105] For example, in step S802, the terminal can receive downlink control information (DCI) for downlink scheduling (e.g., including scheduling information of PDSCH) from the base station on the PDCCH.

[0106] For example, DCI format 1_0 or 1_1 may be used for downlink scheduling, and in particular, DCI format 1_1 may include the following information: Identifier for DCI formats, Bandwidth part indicator, Frequency domain resource assignment, Time domain resource assignment, PRB bundling size indicator, Rate matching indicator, ZP CSI-RS trigger, Antenna port(s), Transmission configuration indication (TCI), SRS request, DMRS (Demodulation Reference Signal) sequence initialization.

[0107] For example, depending on each state indicated in the Antenna port(s) field, a number of DMRS ports can be scheduled, and also single-user (SU) / multi-user (MU) transmission scheduling can be possible.

[0108] For example, the TCI field consists of 3 bits, and QCL for DMRS can be dynamically indicated by indicating up to 8 TCI states depending on the TCI field value.

[0109] For example, in step S803, the terminal can receive downlink data from the base station on the PDSCH.

[0110] For example, if a terminal detects a PDCCH including DCI format 1_0 or 1_1, it can decode the PDSCH according to instructions by the corresponding DCI.

[0111] For example, when a terminal receives a PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1, the terminal may set a DMRS configuration type by a higher layer parameter 'dmrs-Type', and the DMRS type may be used to receive the PDSCH. For example, the terminal may set a maximum number of DMRA symbols to be front-loaded for the PDSCH by a higher layer parameter 'maxLength'.

[0112] For example, for DMRS configuration type 1, if a terminal is scheduled with a single codeword and is assigned an antenna port mapped with an index of {2, 9, 10, 11, or 30}, or if a terminal is scheduled with two codewords, the terminal can assume that all remaining orthogonal antenna ports are not associated with a PDSCH transmission to another terminal.

[0113] For example, for DMRS configuration type 2, if a terminal is scheduled with a single codeword and is assigned an antenna port mapped with an index of {2, 10, or 23}, or if a terminal is scheduled with two codewords, the terminal can assume that all remaining orthogonal antenna ports are not associated with a PDSCH transmission to another terminal.

[0114] For example, when a terminal receives a PDSCH, a precoding granularity P' can be assumed to be a consecutive resource block in the frequency domain. For example, P' can correspond to one of the values ​​{2, 4, wideband}.

[0115] For example, if P' is determined to be wideband, the terminal does not expect to be scheduled with non-contiguous PRBs, and the terminal can assume that the same precoding is applied to the allocated resources.

[0116] For example, if P' is determined to be one of {2, 4}, a precoding resource block group (PRG) can be divided into P' consecutive PRBs. For example, the actual number of consecutive PRBs within each PRG can be one or more. For example, a UE can assume that the same precoding is applied to consecutive downlink PRBs within a PRG.

[0117] For example, in order for a terminal to determine the modulation order, target code rate, and transport block size within a PDSCH, the terminal may first read a 5-bit MCD field within the DCI to determine the modulation order and target code rate. Then, the terminal may read a redundancy version field within the DCI to determine the redundancy version. Then, the terminal may determine the transport block size using the number of layers and the total number of allocated PRBs before rate matching.

[0118] FIG. 9 illustrates a procedure for uplink transmission and reception according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 9 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0119] Referring to FIG. 9, for example, in step S901, the base station may schedule uplink transmissions such as frequency / time resources, transmission layers, uplink precoder, MCS, etc. For example, the base station may determine a beam for PUSCH transmission of the terminal through the operations described above.

[0120] For example, in step S902, the terminal may receive DCI for uplink scheduling (e.g., including scheduling information of PUSCH) from the base station on the PDCCH.

[0121] For example, DCI format 0_0 or 0_1 may be used for uplink scheduling, and in particular, DCI format 0_1 ​​may include the following information: DCI format identifier, UL / SUL (Supplementary uplink) indicator, UL / SUL indicator, bandwidth part indicator, frequency domain resource assignment, time domain resource assignment, frequency hopping flag, modulation and coding scheme (MCS), SRS resource indicator (SRI), precoding information and number of layers, antenna port(s), SRS request, DMRS sequence initialization, UL-SCH (Uplink Shared Channel) indicator.

[0122] For example, SRS resources configured within a set of SRS resources associated with the upper layer parameter 'usage' can be indicated by the SRS resource indicator field. For example, 'spatialRelationInfo' can be configured for each SRS resource, and its value can be one of {CRI, SSB, SRI}.

[0123] For example, in step S903, the terminal may transmit uplink data to the base station on PUSCH.

[0124] For example, if a terminal detects a PDCCH including DCI format 0_0 or 0_1, it can transmit the corresponding PUSCH according to the instructions of the corresponding DCI.

[0125] For example, two transmission schemes (e.g., codebook-based transmission for PUSCH transmission and non-codebook-based transmission for PUSCH transmission) may be supported:

[0126] i) For example, when the upper layer parameter 'txConfig' is set to 'codebook', the terminal may be configured for codebook-based transmission. For example, when the upper layer parameter 'txConfig' is set to 'nonCodebook', the terminal may be configured for non-codebook-based transmission. For example, if the upper layer parameter 'txConfig' is not set, the terminal may not expect to be scheduled by DCI format 0_1. For example, when PUSCH is scheduled by DCI format 0_0, PUSCH transmission may be based on a single antenna port.

[0127] For example, in case of codebook-based transmission, PUSCH can be scheduled in DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, or semi-statically. For example, if this PUSCH is scheduled by DCI format 0_1, the UE can determine the PUSCH transmission precoder based on the SRI, the transmit precoding matrix indicator (TPMI), and the transmission rank from the DCI, as given by the SRS resource indicator field and the precoding information and number of layers field. For example, the TPMI is used to indicate the precoder to be applied across antenna ports, and may correspond to the SRS resource selected by the SRI when multiple SRS resources are configured. For example, if a single SRS resource is configured, the TPMI is used to indicate the precoder to be applied across antenna ports, and may correspond to the single SRS resource. For example, a transmit precoder may be selected from an uplink codebook having the same number of antenna ports as the upper layer parameter 'nrofSRS-Ports'. For example, when a terminal sets an upper layer with 'codebook' as the parameter 'txConfig', the terminal may be configured with at least one SRS resource. For example, an SRI indicated in slot n is associated with the most recent transmission of the SRS resource identified by the SRI, wherein the SRS resource may precede the PDCCH carrying the SRI (e.g., slot n).

[0128] ii) For example, in case of non-codebook based transmission, PUSCH can be scheduled in DCI format 0_0, DCI format 0_1, or semi-statically. For example, when multiple SRS resources are configured, the UE can determine the PUSCH precoder and transmission rank based on the wideband SRI, where the SRI can be given by the SRS resource indicator in the DCI or by the higher layer parameter 'srs-ResourceIndicator'. For example, the UE uses one or multiple SRS resources for SRS transmission, where the number of SRS resources can be configured for simultaneous transmission within the same RB based on the UE capability. For example, only one SRS port can be configured for each SRS resource. For example, only one SRS resource can be configured with the higher layer parameter 'usage' set to 'nonCodebook'. For example, the maximum number of SRS resources that can be configured for non-codebook based uplink transmission may be 4. For example, the SRI indicated in slot n is associated with the most recent transmission of the SRS resource identified by the SRI, where the SRS transmission may precede the PDCCH carrying the SRI (e.g., slot n).

[0129] FIG. 10 illustrates an example of an NTN according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 10 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0130] Referring to Fig. 10, examples according to NTN platform types can be shown. For example, examples according to NTN platform types can be HAPS (High-Altitude Platform Station), LEO (Low Earth orbit), MEO (Medium Earth orbit), or GEO (Geo-stationary Earth orbit).

[0131] For example, parameters related to a High-Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) may be as follows: For example, the altitude of the High-Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) may be 20 km. For example, the beam footprint size of the High-Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) may be 5-200 km.

[0132] For example, parameters related to LEO (Low Earth orbit) can be as follows. For example, the altitude of LEO (Low Earth orbit) can be 300-1500 km. For example, the beam footprint size of LEO (Low Earth orbit) can be 100-1000 km. For example, the satellite speed in LEO (Low Earth orbit) can be 7.56 km / sec (for LEO-600). For example, the maximum propagation delay in LEO (Low Earth orbit) can be 25.77 msec (for LEO-600).

[0133] For example, parameters related to MEO (Medium Earth orbit) can be as follows. For example, the altitude of MEO (Medium Earth orbit) can be 7000-25000 km. For example, the beam footprint size of MEO (Medium Earth orbit) can be 100-1500 km. For example, the maximum propagation delay of MEO (Medium Earth orbit) can be 95.19 msec (for MEO-10000).

[0134] For example, the parameters related to Geo-stationary Earth orbit (GEO) can be as follows. For example, the altitude of Geo-stationary Earth orbit (GEO) can be 35786 km. For example, the beam footprint size of Geo-stationary Earth orbit (GEO) can be 200-3500 km. For example, the satellite speed of Geo-stationary Earth orbit (GEO) can be 3.1 km / sec (negligible). For example, the maximum propagation delay of Geo-stationary Earth orbit (GEO) can be 541.46 msec.

[0135] For example, to effectively operate NTN with very long RTT, scheduling offsets K_offset and K_mac can be introduced.

[0136] FIG. 11 illustrates examples of K_offset and K_mac according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 11 can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0137] Referring to FIG. 11, examples of K_offset and K_mac can be shown. For example, a service link RTT can be an RTT between a terminal and a satellite. For example, a feeder link RTT can be an RTT between a satellite and a base station. For example, a common TA can be a TA between a satellite and a RP. For example, K_offset can be an offset value indicating an RTT of an uplink time synchronization reference point (RP). For example, K_offset can mean the sum of the service link RTT and the common TA (if indicated). For example, K_mac can be an offset value indicating an RTT between an RP and a gNB. For example, the feeder link RTT could mean the sum of the common TA (if indicated) and K_mac.

[0138] FIG. 12 illustrates examples of UE-specific TAs and common TAs according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 12 can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0139] Referring to FIG. 12, for example, in Rel-17 NTN, a UE can calculate a TA on its own based on its GNSS capability and base station indication information (e.g., ephemeris information), which can be referred to as a UE-specific TA. For example, a TA calculated based on common TA parameters indicated by a base station can be referred to as a common TA, and the final TA based on this can be based on FIG. 13 and the description related to FIG. 13.

[0140] FIG. 13 illustrates an example of an uplink-downlink timing relationship according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 13 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0141] Referring to Figure 13, the uplink frame number i for transmission from the UE is the number of frames before the start of the corresponding downlink frame at the UE. You can start here

[0142] - and can be given in clause 4.2 of TS 38.213, This may be excluded for msgA transmission on PUSCH that should be used;

[0143] - If indicated, it can be derived from the upper-layer parameters TACommon, TACommonDrift, and TACommonDriftVariation, otherwise It could be;

[0144] - If indicated, the UE position and serving-satellite-orbit-related upper-layer parameters can be computed by the UE, otherwise It could be.

[0145] For example, there may be TA mismatch. For example, in NR NTN, TA mismatch may occur if the gNB does not receive TA reports, if the existing TA reports are outdated, or if the TA reporting granularity is not sufficiently granular. For example, if the UE does not perform TA reporting at all, the gNB cannot set some key scheduling variables (e.g., K_(cell,offset), K_(UE,offset)), so the above scenario (e.g., no TA reporting) may not be considered a feasible scenario. Therefore, assuming that the UE performs TA reporting, the magnitude of the TA mismatch due to TA report aging and / or TA report granularity may need to be addressed. For example, if the UE performs TA reporting in NR NTN, TA mismatch may occur primarily due to outdated TA reports and / or coarse TA report granularity. For example, for HD-FDD (e)RedCap UE support, the issue of quantitative level TA misalignment between gNB and UE may need to be addressed.

[0146] Meanwhile, differences due to old TA reports may occur when the UE location changes, and may occur proportionally to RTT differences that depend on the UE location within the cell (e.g., difference between minimum TA and maximum TA).

[0147] FIG. 14 illustrates an example of TA mismatch within a beam / cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 14 can be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0148] Referring to FIG. 14, for example, assuming LEO 600 km, beam size 50 km, and target elevation angle 30 degrees, the difference between the shortest RTT (minimum TA) and the longest RTT (maximum TA) can be within about 300 us, which can correspond to about 4 to 5 OFDM symbols using 15 kHz SCS.

[0149] For example, assuming LEO 600 km, beam size 50 km, and target elevation angle 30 degrees, the difference between the shortest RTT (min TA) and the longest RTT (max TA) is within about 300 μs, which can correspond to about 4 to 5 OFDM symbols with 15 kHz SCS. For example, considering that the TA reporting granularity of NTN is 1 ms (e.g., 14 OFDM symbols using 15 kHz SCS), in the LEO example, the main cause of TA mismatch may be the TA reporting granularity, not the stale TA reports. For example, for LEO 600 km, beam size 50 km, and target elevation angle 30 degrees, the difference between the min TA and the max TA may be less than the TA reporting granularity (e.g., 1 ms). For example, for HD-FDD (e)RedCap UE support, improved TA reporting mechanisms, especially TA reporting granularity issues, may need to be addressed.

[0150] For example, the next generation NTN system may support RedCap terminals and / or eRedCap terminals that perform half-duplex operation, and the terminals may have limitations in that they cannot perform DL reception and UL transmission simultaneously. For example, in the NTN system, the terminal may calculate a first TA value according to the distance between the terminal and a satellite based on position information about the satellite provided from the terminal's position and orbit (Ephemeris) information, and / or report the TA value to the base station in the form of a number of slots based on a 15 kHz SCS.

[0151] For example, due to the granularity limitations of the above TA report, the time overlap between the DL reception time and the UL transmission time at the terminal recognized by the base station may differ from the time overlap between the DL reception time and the UL transmission time at the actual terminal. For example, in the above situation, resources scheduled / configured by the base station so that DL reception and UL transmission at the terminal do not time-overlap may cause time-overlap at the actual terminal.

[0152] For example, the granularity of the TA value calculated and corrected by the terminal based on the position information about the satellite provided from the position and orbit (Ephemeris) information of the terminal and the granularity of the TA value reported by the terminal to the base station may be the same and / or may be a multiple of each other.

[0153] For example, the granularity of the TA value calculated and corrected based on the position information of the satellite provided from the terminal's position and orbit (Ephemeris) information may be in the form of the number of slots based on 1 msec or 15 kHz SCS.

[0154] For example, the granularity of the base station report value for the TA value calculated and corrected by the terminal based on the position information about the satellite provided from the position and ephemeris information of the terminal may be in the form of the number of slots based on 30 kHz SCS and / or in the form of the number of symbols (groups) based on 15 and / or 30 kHz SCS and / or in the form of the number of OFDM samples (groups). For example, the TA report value may replace the TA report value in the form of the number of slots based on the (existing) 15 kHz SCS and / or may be a value provided in addition thereto.

[0155] For example, the terminal may (additionally) report to the base station the difference between the TA value calculated and corrected based on the position information about the satellite provided from the terminal's position and orbit (Ephemeris) information and the TA value reported by the terminal to the base station, and / or an estimated or converted value thereof.

[0156] In NTN, for half-duplex (enhanced) reduced capability UEs, a TA mismatch can cause a collision between uplink transmission and downlink reception. For example, in NTN, since the granularity associated with TA reporting is one slot using 15 kHz, if the TA change occurs but the TA difference is less than 1 ms, the previously reported TA and the current TA may be reported as the same TA, which may cause a TA mismatch issue. For example, in NTN, since the granularity associated with TA reporting is one slot using 15 kHz, if the TA change occurs but the TA difference is less than 1 ms, the previously reported TA and the current TA may be reported as the same TA, which may cause a TA mismatch issue. For example, the TA mismatch issue can occur in LEO, one of the NTN platform types. For example, for 600 km LEO and a target elevation angle of 30 degrees, the difference between the maximum and minimum TA is within approximately 300 μs, which is less than 1 ms corresponding to one slot using 15 kHz, the granularity associated with TA reporting, so a TA mismatch issue may arise. For example, when TA changes, signaling overhead may increase due to reporting the entire changed TA rather than just the changed TA value.

[0157] FIG. 15 illustrates an example of a TA reporting procedure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 15 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0158] Referring to FIG. 15, for example, in step S1510, the base station may transmit orbital information including information related to the position of the satellite to the device. For example, in step S1520, the device may perform a first TA report. For example, in the NTN system, the terminal may calculate a first TA value according to the distance between the terminal and the satellite based on the position information about the satellite provided from the position of the terminal and the orbital (Ephemeris) information, and / or may report the TA value to the base station in the form of the number of slots based on 15 kHz SCS. For example, the granularity of the TA value (e.g., the first TA) calculated and corrected based on the position information about the satellite provided from the position of the terminal and the orbital (Ephemeris) information may be 1 msec or in the form of the number of slots based on 15 kHz SCS. For example, in step S1530, the device may transmit a second TA report to the base station. For example, although not shown, the device may transmit a third TA report to the base station. For example, the granularity of the base station report value (e.g., the second TA) calculated and corrected by the terminal based on the position information about the satellite provided from the position and ephemeris information of the terminal may be in the form of the number of slots based on 30 kHz SCS and / or in the form of the number of symbols (groups) based on 15 and / or 30 kHz SCS and / or in the form of the number of OFDM samples (groups). For example, the TA report value (e.g., the second TA) may replace the TA report value in the form of the number of slots based on the (existing) 15 kHz SCS, and / or may be a value provided in addition thereto.For example, the terminal may (additionally) report to the base station the difference between the TA value calculated and corrected based on the position information about the satellite provided from the terminal's position and orbit (Ephemeris) information and the TA value reported by the terminal to the base station, and / or an estimated or converted value thereof (e.g., a third TA).

[0159] For example, RRC can control timing advance reporting by setting offsetThresholdTA. For example, RRC can control timing advance reporting by setting timingAdvanceSR.

[0160] For example, a timing advance report may be triggered upon receiving an instruction from a higher layer to trigger a timing advance report. For example, a timing advance report may be triggered upon setting offsetThresholdTA by a higher layer if the UE has not reported a timing advance value to the current serving cell. For example, a timing advance report may be triggered if the difference between the estimated current timing advance value and the last reported timing advance value is greater than or equal to offsetThresholdTA, if set.

[0161] For example, the Timing Advance field associated with a Timing Advance Report MAC CE may indicate at least one integer slot using a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz that is greater than or equal to the Timing Advance value.

[0162] According to the present disclosure, in NTN, for a half-duplex (enhanced) reduced capacity UE, TA mismatch can be resolved, thereby preventing collisions between uplink transmission and downlink reception. For example, according to the present disclosure, since the granularity associated with TA reporting is lower than one slot using 15 kHz, more precise TA reporting can be performed, thus preventing TA mismatch due to the granularity associated with TA reporting being a single slot using 15 kHz in NTN. For example, according to the present disclosure, when TA changes, since the granularity associated with TA reporting is lower than one slot using 15 kHz, more precise TA reporting can be performed, thus preventing TA mismatch due to the granularity associated with TA reporting being a single slot using 15 kHz in NTN. For example, the TA mismatch problem in LEO, among NTN platform types, can be resolved. For example, for LEO 600 km and a target elevation angle of 30 degrees, the difference between the maximum and minimum TA is within about 300 μs, but the granularity associated with TA reporting can be less than 1 ms corresponding to one slot using 15 kHz, thus resolving the TA mismatch problem. For example, in NTN, when TA changes, the signaling overhead can be reduced because the TA reporting can be performed with fewer bits by reporting the changed TA value rather than reporting the entire changed TA.

[0163] For example, for an (e)RedCap terminal performing NTN operation, if a DL reception scheduled with a DCI and a UL transmission scheduled with a DCI overlap in time, the terminal may prioritize the scheduled UL transmission and / or PUSCH transmission. For example, this may be based on the prediction that a half-duplex limitation issue will occur based on whether there was a UL transmission from the terminal after the base station transmitted the DCI to the terminal.

[0164] For example, for an (e)RedCap terminal performing NTN operation, if DL reception scheduled by DCI and UL transmission scheduled by DCI time-overlap, the terminal can perform the operation corresponding to the higher priority index value. For example, the priority index value for PUCCH may be applied equally to the corresponding PDSCH.

[0165] For example, for an (e)RedCap terminal performing NTN operation, if DL reception configured with a dedicated higher layer parameter and UL transmission configured with a dedicated higher layer parameter time-overlap, the terminal may prioritize CG PUSCH transmission. For example, the basis for this may be that when the terminal omits CG PUSCH transmission, the base station may not be able to distinguish whether the ommission is due to the terminal having no data to send or due to a half-duplex constraint.

[0166] For example, for an (e)RedCap terminal performing NTN operation, if DL reception set to a dedicated higher layer parameter and UL transmission set to a dedicated higher layer parameter time-overlap, the terminal may prioritize PDCCH monitoring for Type0-CSS and / or Type1-CSS and / or Type0A-CSS and / or Type0B-CSS and / or Type2-CSS.

[0167] For example, for an (e)RedCap terminal performing NTN operation, if DL reception set to a dedicated higher layer parameter and UL transmission set to a dedicated higher layer parameter time-overlap, the terminal may prioritize SSB reception.

[0168] For example, when a terminal receives a PDCCH and / or a PDSCH, the terminal may be instructed / configured in advance by the base station as to whether the PDSCH includes SIB19 and / or SIB22 and / or satellite-related information and / or drone (cell)-related information.

[0169] For example, the RNTI values ​​associated with the DCI format included in the PDCCH may be different or distinct depending on whether SIB19 and / or SIB22 and / or satellite-related information and / or drone (cell)-related information is included.

[0170] For example, whether SIB19 and / or SIB22 and / or satellite-related information and / or drone (cell)-related information is included may be distinguished through a specific field value of the DCI format included in the PDCCH.

[0171] For example, the terminal may be instructed / configured by the base station regarding SI-window information and / or slot information through which SIB19 and / or SIB22 and / or satellite-related information and / or drone (cell)-related information can be transmitted and / or to which it is scheduled to be transmitted. For example, the information may be received by the terminal through SIB19 or SIB22 previously received by the terminal. For example, the information may be received by the terminal through another SIB previously received by the terminal.

[0172] For example, the terminal may determine an SI-window and / or slot in which the SIB19 and / or SIB22 and / or satellite-related information and / or drone (cell)-related information can be transmitted and / or is scheduled to be transmitted based on an epoch time and / or a valid time duration determined based on previously received SIB19 and / or SIB22. For example, the terminal may determine that the SIB19 and / or SIB22 and / or satellite-related information and / or drone (cell)-related information can be transmitted in an SI-window that overlaps the end of a valid time duration for previously received SIB19 and / or SIB22 and / or in a previous SI-window.

[0173] For example, when a terminal receives a PDCCH including SI modification information and / or a DCI format associated with a P-RNTI from a base station, the terminal can determine whether SI modification is possible or indicated for SIB19 and / or SIB22. For example, the method may be such that different RNTIs are used and / or different POs (paging occasions) are used / applied.

[0174] For example, when a (Redcap and / or half-duplex) terminal determines a DL reception or UL transmission operation based on a collision between a DL and an UL, the terminal may prioritize DL reception over UL transmission at a time of transmission of a DL channel containing SIB19 and / or SIB22 and / or satellite-related information and / or drone (cell)-related information and / or an SI window (all or part of slots within) in which a DL channel containing the above information may be transmitted and / or at PDCCH monitoring opportunities that may indicate SI modification. For example, the SI window may be limited to that set / indicated in SIB1 to be associated with SIB19. For example, within the SI window, the PDCCH monitoring opportunities to be prioritized may be limited to PDCCH monitoring (for the SIB) associated with the SSB for which the terminal has the highest SSB or beam quality for MIB acquisition or is above a certain level.

[0175] For example, at least for (reduced capability and / or half-duplex) terminals, the base station may instruct / set a TA (timing advance) value according to the (round trip time (RTT) between the terminal and the serving satellite)). For example, the TA value may be determined by the base station based on the type of serving satellite and / or the altitude and / or the satellite footprint size and / or the beam footprint size and / or the beam footprint (location) information associated with the cell, and may be instructed to the terminal.

[0176] For example, when a terminal applies DMRS bundling to UL transmission along the time axis, the terminal can indicate to the base station whether the UL transmission belongs to the same actual time-domain window (TDW). For example, there may be an ID for each actual TDW, and if the ID is the same, it may be assumed that the UL transmission is performed in the same actual TDW, and if different IDs are used, it may be determined that the actual TDWs are different between UL transmissions. For example, the terminal may indicate information about the actual TDW and / or information about the actual TDW ID in the form of changing the DMRS sequence for each repetition of UL transmission.

[0177] For example, when DMRS bundling or TDW is configured for a reduced capability half-duplex terminal, if DL reception or DL ​​monitoring is scheduled between two consecutive PUSCHs or between two consecutive PUCCHs, the DL reception operation may be omitted, ensuring that the two transmissions fall within the same actual TDW.

[0178] For example, a reduced capability half-duplex terminal may be permitted to transmit UL only within a certain time interval after transmitting a TA report to the base station. For example, information about the certain time interval (start time and / or interval length and / or end time) may be indicated / configured by the base station. For example, UL transmission in other areas may indicate that the terminal does not expect related scheduling or that the terminal skips UL transmission.

[0179] For example, when a base station instructs / configures ephemeris information to a terminal, it may provide information about the next serving satellite in addition to information about the current serving satellite. For example, the next serving satellite may also include information that is identical to the current serving satellite.

[0180] The applicability and method of various embodiments of the present disclosure may vary depending on the type of terminal (e.g., normal UE, RedCap UE, eRedCap UE, etc.).

[0181] The applicability and method of the various embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied differently for fallback DCI formats and non-fallback DCI formats and / or for each DCI format.

[0239] FIG. 20 illustrates a signal processing circuit for a transmission signal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment of FIG. 20 may be combined with various embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0240] Referring to FIG. 20, the signal processing circuit (1000) may include a scrambler (1010), a modulator (1020), a layer mapper (1030), a precoder (1040), a resource mapper (1050), and a signal generator (1060). Although not limited thereto, the operations / functions of FIG. 20 may be performed in the processor (102, 202) and / or the transceiver (106, 206) of FIG. 19. The hardware elements of FIG. 20 may be implemented in the processor (102, 202) and / or the transceiver (106, 206) of FIG. 19. For example, blocks 1010 to 1060 may be implemented in the processor (102, 202) of FIG. 19. Additionally, blocks 1010 to 1050 may be implemented in the processor (102, 202) of FIG. 19, and block 1060 may be implemented in the transceiver (106, 206) of FIG. 19.

[0241] The codeword can be converted into a wireless signal through the signal processing circuit (1000) of FIG. 20. Here, the codeword is an encoded bit sequence of an information block. The information block can include a transport block (e.g., an UL-SCH transport block, a DL-SCH transport block). The wireless signal can be transmitted through various physical channels (e.g., a PUSCH or a PDSCH).

[0242] Specifically, the codeword can be converted into a bit sequence scrambled by a scrambler (1010). The scramble sequence used for scrambling is generated based on an initialization value, and the initialization value may include ID information of the wireless device, etc. The scrambled bit sequence can be modulated into a modulation symbol sequence by a modulator (1020). The modulation method may include pi / 2-BPSK (pi / 2-Binary Phase Shift Keying), m-PSK (m-Phase Shift Keying), m-QAM (m-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), etc. The complex modulation symbol sequence can be mapped to one or more transmission layers by a layer mapper (1030). The modulation symbols of each transmission layer can be mapped to the corresponding antenna port(s) by a precoder (1040) (precoding). The output z of the precoder (1040) can be obtained by multiplying the output y of the layer mapper (1030) by a precoding matrix W of N*M. Here, N is the number of antenna ports, and M is the number of transmission layers. Here, the precoder (1040) can perform precoding after performing transform precoding (e.g., DFT transform) on complex modulation symbols. In addition, the precoder (1040) can perform precoding without performing transform precoding.

[0243] The resource mapper (1050) can map modulation symbols of each antenna port to time-frequency resources. The time-frequency resources can include multiple symbols (e.g., CP-OFDMA symbols, DFT-s-OFDMA symbols) in the time domain and multiple subcarriers in the frequency domain. The signal generator (1060) generates a wireless signal from the mapped modulation symbols, and the generated wireless signal can be transmitted to another device through each antenna. To this end, the signal generator (1060) can include an Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) module, a Cyclic Prefix (CP) inserter, a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), a frequency uplink converter, etc.

[0244] The signal processing process for receiving signals in a wireless device can be configured in reverse order of the signal processing process (1010 to 1060) of FIG. 20. For example, a wireless device (e.g., 100, 200 of FIG. 19) can receive wireless signals from the outside through an antenna port / transceiver. The received wireless signals can be converted into baseband signals through a signal restorer. For this purpose, the signal restorer can include a frequency downlink converter, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a CP remover, and a fast Fourier transform (FFT) module. Thereafter, the baseband signal can be restored to a codeword through a resource demapper process, a postcoding process, a demodulation process, and a descrambling process. The codewords can be restored to the original information blocks through decoding. Accordingly, a signal processing circuit (not shown) for a received signal may include a signal restorer, a resource de-mapper, a postcoder, a demodulator, a de-scrambler, and a decoder.
