Description

Method and device for transmitting and receiving downlink data in a wireless mobile communication system

[0001] The present embodiments propose a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving downlink data in a wireless mobile communication system in a next-generation wireless access network (in this disclosure, “5G,” “NR [New Radio],” “5G-Advanced,” “6G,” or a subsequent 3GPP wireless access network).

[0002] TDD (Time Division Duplex) is a duplexing method widely used in commercial New Radio (NR) and 5G mobile communication systems. In TDD, time-slot radio resources are divided into downlink and uplink slots. Typically, downlink slots are distributed at a higher rate than uplink slots, depending on the distribution ratio of uplink to downlink traffic. However, this limitation of uplink slots negatively impacts coverage and latency. Full duplex communication has recently attracted attention as a technology to address these issues.

[0003] Additionally, as the number of terminals within a cell increases, beam-based communication technologies are being studied to provide efficient communication. Beam-based communication, which forms beams for specific terminals or groups of terminals, can provide efficient communication while reducing interference.

[0004] Beam-based communication can also be performed in full-duplex environments, particularly when full-duplex communication is configured on a symbol or slot basis based on subbands. In this context, a specific design is needed to accurately transmit, receive, and process downlink data in situations where various types of full-duplex communication are configured on a symbol or slot basis.

[0005] Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide a method and device for transmitting and receiving downlink data in a wireless mobile communication system.

[0024] Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to exemplary drawings. When adding reference numerals to components in each drawing, identical components may have the same numerals as much as possible even if they are shown in different drawings. In addition, when describing the present embodiments, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known configuration or function may obscure the gist of the technical idea of ​​the present invention, the detailed description may be omitted. When "includes," "has," "consists of," etc. are used in this specification, other parts may be added unless "only" is used. When a component is expressed in the singular, it may include a case in which the plural is included unless specifically stated otherwise.

[0025] Additionally, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), (b), etc. may be used to describe components of the present disclosure. These terms are only intended to distinguish the components from other components, and the nature, order, sequence, or number of the components are not limited by the terms.

[0026] In a description of the positional relationship of components, when it is described that two or more components are "connected," "combined," or "connected," it should be understood that the two or more components may be directly "connected," "combined," or "connected," but that the two or more components may also be further "interposed" with another component to be "connected," "combined," or "connected." Here, the other component may be included in one or more of the two or more components that are "connected," "combined," or "connected" to each other.

[0027] In the description of the temporal flow relationship related to components, operation methods, or manufacturing methods, for example, when the temporal or flow relationship is described as “after”, “following”, “next to”, “before”, etc., it may also include cases where it is not continuous, unless “immediately” or “directly” is used.

[0028] Meanwhile, when numerical values ​​or corresponding information (e.g., levels, etc.) for components are mentioned, even without separate explicit description, the numerical values ​​or corresponding information may be interpreted as including an error range that may occur due to various factors (e.g., process factors, internal or external impact, noise, etc.).

[0029] The wireless communication system in this specification refers to a system for providing various communication services such as voice, data packets, etc. using wireless resources, and may include a terminal, a base station, or a core network.

[0030] The embodiments disclosed below can be applied to wireless communication systems using various wireless access technologies. For example, the embodiments can be applied to various wireless access technologies such as CDMA (code division multiple access), FDMA (frequency division multiple access), TDMA (time division multiple access), OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access), SC-FDMA (single carrier frequency division multiple access), or NOMA (non-orthogonal multiple access). In addition, the wireless access technology may not only refer to a specific access technology, but also to each generation of communication technology established by various communication agreement organizations such as 3GPP, 3GPP2, WiFi, Bluetooth, IEEE, and ITU. For example, CDMA can be implemented with wireless technologies such as UTRA (universal terrestrial radio access) or CDMA2000. TDMA can be implemented with wireless technologies such as GSM (global system for mobile communications) / GPRS (general packet radio service) / EDGE (enhanced data rates for GSM evolution). OFDMA can be implemented in wireless technologies such as IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802-20, and E-UTRA (evolved UTRA). IEEE 802.16m is an evolution of IEEE 802.16e and provides backward compatibility with systems based on IEEE 802.16e.UTRA is part of UMTS (universal mobile telecommunications system). 3GPP (3rd generation partnership project) LTE (long term evolution) is part of E-UMTS (evolved UMTS) that uses E-UTRA (evolved-UMTSterrestrial radio access), employing OFDMA in the downlink and SC-FDMA in the uplink. Thus, the present embodiments can be applied to currently disclosed or commercialized wireless access technologies, as well as wireless access technologies currently under development or to be developed in the future.

[0031] Meanwhile, the term "terminal" in this specification is a comprehensive concept that refers to a device that includes a wireless communication module that performs communication with a base station in a wireless communication system, and should be interpreted as a concept that includes not only UE (User Equipment) in WCDMA, LTE, NR, HSPA, and IMT-2020 (5G or New Radio), but also MS (Mobile Station), UT (User Terminal), SS (Subscriber Station), and wireless device in GSM. In addition, the terminal may be a user portable device such as a smartphone depending on the usage type, and in a V2X communication system, it may mean a vehicle, a device including a wireless communication module in the vehicle, etc. In addition, in the case of a Machine Type Communication system, it may mean an MTC terminal, M2M terminal, URLLC terminal, etc. that is equipped with a communication module to perform machine type communication.

[0032] The base station or cell in this specification refers to an end that communicates with a terminal in terms of a network, and includes various coverage areas such as Node-B, eNB (evolved Node-B), gNB (gNode-B), LPN (Low Power Node), Sector, Site, various types of antennas, BTS (Base Transceiver System), Access Point, Point (e.g., Transmission Point, Reception Point, Transmission / Reception Point), Relay Node, Mega Cell, Macro Cell, Micro Cell, Pico Cell, Femto Cell, RRH (Remote Radio Head), RU (Radio Unit), and Small Cell. In addition, a cell may mean including a BWP (Bandwidth Part) in the frequency domain. For example, a serving cell may mean an Activation BWP of a terminal.

[0033] Since the various cells listed above have a base station that controls one or more cells, the base station can be interpreted in two meanings. 1) It can be a device itself that provides a mega cell, macro cell, micro cell, pico cell, femto cell, or small cell in relation to a wireless area, or 2) it can indicate the wireless area itself. In 1), all devices that provide a given wireless area are controlled by the same entity or that interact to cooperatively configure the wireless area are all indicated as a base station. Depending on how the wireless area is configured, a point, a transceiver point, a transmission point, a reception point, etc. can be an embodiment of a base station. In 2), the wireless area itself that receives or transmits a signal from the perspective of a user terminal or a neighboring base station can also be indicated as a base station.

[0034] In this specification, a cell may mean a component carrier having coverage of a signal transmitted from a transmission / reception point or a transmission / reception point itself.

[0035] Uplink (UL, or uplink) refers to a method of transmitting and receiving data from a terminal to a base station, and downlink (DL, or downlink) refers to a method of transmitting and receiving data from a base station to a terminal. Downlink may refer to communication or a communication path from multiple transmission / reception points to a terminal, and uplink may refer to communication or a communication path from a terminal to multiple transmission / reception points. In this case, in the downlink, the transmitter may be part of the multiple transmission / reception points, and the receiver may be part of the terminal. In addition, in the uplink, the transmitter may be part of the terminal, and the receiver may be part of the multiple transmission / reception points.

[0036] Uplink and downlink transmit and receive control information through control channels such as PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control CHannel) and PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control CHannel), and transmit and receive data by configuring data channels such as PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared CHannel) and PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared CHannel). Hereinafter, the situation in which signals are transmitted and received through channels such as PUCCH, PUSCH, PDCCH, and PDSCH is also expressed in the form of 'transmitting and receiving PUCCH, PUSCH, PDCCH, and PDSCH'.

[0037] For clarity of explanation, the technical idea of ​​this invention is described below mainly with reference to the 3GPP LTE / LTE-A / NR (New RAT) communication system, but the technical features of this invention are not limited to the communication system.

[0038] After researching 4G (4th-Generation) communication technology, 3GPP develops 5G (5th-Generation) communication technology to meet the requirements of the next-generation wireless access technology of the ITU-R. Specifically, 3GPP develops LTE-A pro, which enhances LTE-Advanced technology to meet the requirements of the ITU-R, and NR, a new communication technology separate from 4G communication technology. Both LTE-A pro and NR refer to 5G communication technology, and in the following, 5G communication technology will be explained with NR as the focus, unless a specific communication technology is specifically mentioned.

[0039] The operating scenario in NR defines various operation scenarios by adding considerations for satellites, automobiles, and new verticals to the existing 4G LTE scenario, and in terms of service, it supports the eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband) scenario, the mMTC (Massive Machine Communication) scenario that has high terminal density but is deployed over a wide area and requires low data rate and asynchronous access, and the URLLC (Ultra Reliability and Low Latency) scenario that requires high responsiveness and reliability and can support high-speed mobility.

[0040] To meet these scenarios, NR introduces a wireless communication system that incorporates new waveform and frame structure technologies, low latency technologies, support for ultra-high frequency bands (mmWave), and forward compatibility technologies. In particular, NR systems offer various technological changes in terms of flexibility to ensure forward compatibility. The key technical features of NR are described below with reference to the drawings.

[0041]

[0042] <NR 시스템 일반>

[0043] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating the structure of an NR system to which the present embodiment can be applied.

[0044] Referring to Fig. 1, the NR system is divided into 5GC (5G Core Network) and NR-RAN parts, and the NG-RAN is composed of gNBs and ng-eNBs that provide user plane (SDAP / PDCP / RLC / MAC / PHY) and control plane (RRC) protocol termination for UE (User Equipment). gNBs or gNBs and ng-eNBs are interconnected via the Xn interface. gNBs and ng-eNBs are each connected to the 5GC via the NG interface. The 5GC can be configured to include an AMF (Access and Mobility Management Function) that is responsible for the control plane such as terminal access and mobility control functions, and an UPF (User Plane Function) that is responsible for the control function for user data. NR includes support for both frequency bands below 6 GHz (FR1, Frequency Range 1) and frequency bands above 6 GHz (FR2, Frequency Range 2).

[0045] gNB refers to a base station that provides NR user plane and control plane protocol termination to terminals, and ng-eNB refers to a base station that provides E-UTRA user plane and control plane protocol termination to terminals. The base station described in this specification should be understood to encompass both gNB and ng-eNB, and may also be used to refer to gNB or ng-eNB separately as needed.

[0046] <NR 웨이브 폼, 뉴머롤러지 및 프레임 구조>

[0047]

[0048] *NR uses the CP-OFDM waveform with a cyclic prefix for downlink transmission, and CP-OFDM or DFT-s-OFDM for uplink transmission. OFDM technology is easily combined with MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) and has the advantage of enabling the use of low-complexity receivers with high frequency efficiency.

[0049] Meanwhile, in NR, the requirements for data rates, latency, and coverage differ across the three scenarios mentioned above. Therefore, it is necessary to efficiently satisfy these requirements across the frequency bands that comprise any NR system. To this end, technologies have been proposed to efficiently multiplex radio resources based on multiple different numerologies.

[0050] Specifically, the NR transmission numerator is determined based on the sub-carrier spacing and the cyclic prefix (CP), and is changed exponentially with the μ value being an exponent value of 2 based on 15 kHz, as shown in Table 1 below.

[0051] μ서브캐리어 간격Cyclic prefixSupported for dataSupported for synch015NormalYesYes130NormalYesYes260Normal, ExtendedYesNo3120NormalYesYes4240NormalNoYes

[0052] As shown in Table 1 above, the numerology of NR can be divided into five types according to the subcarrier spacing. This is different from the fixed subcarrier spacing of LTE, one of the 4G communication technologies, at 15 kHz. Specifically, the subcarrier spacing used for data transmission in NR is 15, 30, 60, and 120 kHz, and the subcarrier spacing used for synchronization signal transmission is 15, 30, 12, and 240 kHz. In addition, the extended CP is applied only to the 60 kHz subcarrier spacing. Meanwhile, the frame structure in NR is defined as a 10 ms frame consisting of 10 subframes with the same length of 1 ms. One frame can be divided into half frames of 5 ms, and each half frame contains 5 subframes. In the case of a 15 kHz subcarrier spacing, one subframe consists of one slot, and each slot consists of 14 OFDM symbols. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the frame structure in an NR system to which the present embodiment can be applied. Referring to FIG. 2, a slot is fixedly composed of 14 OFDM symbols in the case of a normal CP, but the length of the slot in the time domain may vary depending on the subcarrier spacing. For example, in the case of a numerology with a 15 kHz subcarrier spacing, a slot is composed of 1 ms, which is the same length as a subframe. In contrast, in the case of a numerology with a 30 kHz subcarrier spacing, a slot is composed of 14 OFDM symbols, but two slots may be included in one subframe with a length of 0.5 ms. That is, a subframe and a frame are defined with a fixed time length, and a slot is defined by the number of symbols, so the time length may vary depending on the subcarrier spacing.

[0053] Meanwhile, NR defines slots as the basic scheduling unit and also introduces mini-slots (or sub-slots, or non-slot-based scheduling) to reduce transmission delay in the wireless section. Using wider subcarrier spacing reduces transmission delay in the wireless section by shortening the length of each slot inversely. Mini-slots (or sub-slots) are designed to efficiently support URLLC scenarios and allow scheduling in units of 2, 4, or 7 symbols.

[0054] Furthermore, unlike LTE, NR defines uplink and downlink resource allocation at the symbol level within a single slot. To reduce HARQ delay, a slot structure was defined that allows HARQ ACK / NACKs to be transmitted directly within the transmission slot. This slot structure is referred to as a self-contained structure and will be described in detail.

[0055] NR is designed to support a total of 256 slot formats, of which 62 are used in 3GPP Rel-15. It also supports a common frame structure that configures FDD or TDD frames through various combinations of slots. For example, it supports a slot structure in which all symbols in a slot are set to downlink, a slot structure in which all symbols are set to uplink, and a slot structure in which downlink and uplink symbols are combined. NR also supports data transmission being distributed and scheduled across one or more slots. Therefore, a base station can use a slot format indicator (SFI) to inform a UE whether a slot is a downlink slot, an uplink slot, or a flexible slot. The base station can indicate the slot format by indicating an index of a table configured through UE-specific RRC signaling using the SFI, and can also indicate it dynamically through DCI (Downlink Control Information) or statically or semi-statically through RRC.

[0056] <NR 물리 자원 >

[0057] In relation to physical resources in NR, antenna ports, resource grids, resource elements, resource blocks, and bandwidth parts are considered.

[0058] Antenna ports are defined such that the channel through which a symbol on an antenna port is carried can be inferred from the channel through which another symbol on the same antenna port is carried. Two antenna ports are said to be quasi co-located (or quasi co-located) if the large-scale properties of the channel through which a symbol on one antenna port is carried can be inferred from the channel through which a symbol on the other antenna port is carried. Here, the large-scale properties include one or more of delay spread, Doppler spread, frequency shift, average received power, and received timing.

[0059] FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a resource grid supported by a wireless access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

[0060] Referring to Figure 3, a resource grid may exist for each numeral, as NR supports multiple numerals on the same carrier. Furthermore, resource grids may exist based on antenna ports, subcarrier spacing, and transmission direction.

[0061] A resource block (RB) consists of 12 subcarriers and is defined solely in the frequency domain. Furthermore, a resource element (RE) consists of one OFDM symbol and one subcarrier. Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, the size of a single RB can vary depending on the subcarrier spacing. NR also defines "Point A," which serves as a common reference point for the RB grid, as well as common RBs and virtual RBs.

[0062] FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a bandwidth part supported by a wireless access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

[0063] Unlike LTE, where the carrier bandwidth is fixed at 20 MHz, NR sets the maximum carrier bandwidth from 50 MHz to 400 MHz for each subcarrier interval. Therefore, it is not assumed that all terminals will use the entire carrier bandwidth. Accordingly, NR allows terminals to designate bandwidth parts (BWPs) within the carrier bandwidth, as illustrated in Figure 4. Furthermore, bandwidth parts are associated with a single numerology, consist of a subset of consecutive common resource blocks, and can be dynamically activated over time. Each terminal is configured with up to four bandwidth parts for both the uplink and downlink, and data is transmitted and received using the bandwidth parts activated at a given time.

[0064] In the case of a paired spectrum, the uplink and downlink bandwidth parts are set independently, and in the case of an unpaired spectrum, the downlink and uplink bandwidth parts are set in pairs so that they can share a center frequency to prevent unnecessary frequency re-tuning between downlink and uplink operations.

[0065] <NR 초기 접속>

[0066] In NR, a terminal performs cell search and random access procedures to connect to a base station and perform communication.

[0067] Cell search is a procedure in which a terminal synchronizes to the cell of a corresponding base station, obtains a physical layer cell ID, and obtains system information using the synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by the base station.

[0068] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a synchronization signal block in a wireless access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

[0069] Referring to FIG. 5, SSB is composed of a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), each occupying 1 symbol and 127 subcarriers, and a PBCH spanning 3 OFDM symbols and 240 subcarriers.

[0070] The terminal receives SSB by monitoring SSB in the time and frequency domain.

[0071] SSB can be transmitted up to 64 times in 5ms. Multiple SSBs are transmitted in different transmission beams within 5ms, and the terminal performs detection assuming that SSBs are transmitted every 20ms based on a specific beam used for transmission. The number of beams that can be used for SSB transmission within 5ms can increase as the frequency band increases. For example, up to 4 SSB beams can be transmitted below 3GHz, up to 8 in the frequency band between 3GHz and 6GHz, and up to 64 different beams can be used for SSB transmission in the frequency band above 6GHz.

[0072] SSB contains two symbols in one slot, and the starting symbol and number of repetitions within the slot are determined as follows depending on the subcarrier spacing.

[0073] Meanwhile, unlike SS in conventional LTE, SSB is not transmitted at the center frequency of the carrier bandwidth. This means that SSB can be transmitted even in locations other than the center of the system bandwidth, and when supporting wideband operation, multiple SSBs can be transmitted in the frequency domain. Accordingly, the terminal monitors SSB using the synchronization raster, which is a candidate frequency location for monitoring SSB. The carrier raster, which is the center frequency location information of the channel for initial access, and the synchronization raster are newly defined in NR. The synchronization raster has a wider frequency interval than the carrier raster, which can support the terminal's fast SSB search.

[0074] A UE can obtain the MIB through the PBCH of the SSB. The MIB (Master Information Block) includes the minimum information required for the UE to receive the remaining system information (RMSI, Remaining Minimum System Information) broadcast by the network. In addition, the PBCH may include information on the position of the first DM-RS symbol in the time domain, information for the UE to monitor SIB1 (e.g., SIB1 numerology information, information related to SIB1 CORESET, search space information, PDCCH-related parameter information, etc.), offset information between the common resource block and the SSB (the absolute position of the SSB within the carrier is transmitted through SIB1), etc. Here, the SIB1 numerology information is also applied equally to some messages used in the random access procedure for the UE to access the base station after completing the cell search procedure. For example, the numerology information of SIB1 may be applied to at least one of messages 1 to 4 for the random access procedure.

[0075] The aforementioned RMSI may refer to SIB1 (System Information Block 1), and SIB1 is broadcast periodically (e.g., every 160 ms) in the cell. SIB1 contains information necessary for the UE to perform the initial random access procedure and is periodically transmitted via PDSCH. In order for the UE to receive SIB1, it must receive numerology information used for SIB1 transmission and CORESET (Control Resource Set) information used for SIB1 scheduling via PBCH. The UE checks scheduling information for SIB1 using SI-RNTI in CORESET and acquires SIB1 on PDSCH according to the scheduling information. The remaining SIBs, excluding SIB1, may be transmitted periodically or upon request of the UE.

[0076] FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a random access procedure in a wireless access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

[0077] Referring to FIG. 6, once cell search is complete, the terminal transmits a random access preamble for random access to the base station. The random access preamble is transmitted via the PRACH. Specifically, the random access preamble is transmitted to the base station via the PRACH, which consists of consecutive radio resources in a specific slot that is periodically repeated. Generally, when a terminal initially accesses a cell, a contention-based random access procedure is performed, and when performing random access for beam failure recovery (BFR), a non-contention-based random access procedure is performed.

[0078] The UE receives a random access response to the transmitted random access preamble. The random access response may include a random access preamble identifier (ID), an UL Grant (uplink radio resource), a temporary C-RNTI (Temporary Cell - Radio Network Temporary Identifier), and a TAC (Time Alignment Command). Since one random access response may include random access response information for one or more UEs, the random access preamble identifier may be included to indicate which UE the included UL Grant, temporary C-RNTI, and TAC are valid for. The random access preamble identifier may be an identifier for the random access preamble received by the base station. The TAC may be included as information for the UE to adjust uplink synchronization. The random access response may be indicated by a random access identifier on the PDCCH, i.e., an RA-RNTI (Random Access - Radio Network Temporary Identifier).

[0079] Upon receiving a valid random access response, the terminal processes the information contained in the random access response and performs scheduled transmission to the base station. For example, the terminal applies TAC and stores a temporary C-RNTI. Furthermore, using the UL Grant, the terminal transmits data stored in its buffer or newly generated data to the base station. In this case, information that identifies the terminal must be included.

[0080] Finally, the terminal receives a downlink message for contention resolution.

[0081] <NR CORESET>

[0082] The downlink control channel in NR is transmitted in a CORESET (Control Resource Set) with a length of 1 to 3 symbols, and transmits uplink / downlink scheduling information, SFI (Slot format Index), and TPC (Transmit Power Control) information.

[0083] To ensure system flexibility, NR introduced the CORESET concept. CORESET (Control Resource Set) refers to time-frequency resources for downlink control signals. A terminal can decode control channel candidates using one or more search spaces within the CORESET time-frequency resources. A QCL (Quasi CoLocation) assumption is established for each CORESET, which is used to inform the characteristics of analog beam direction in addition to the delay spread, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, and average delay assumed by the conventional QCL.

[0084] Figure 7 is a drawing for explaining CORESET.

[0085] Referring to Figure 7, a CORESET can exist in various forms within the carrier bandwidth within a single slot, and in the time domain, a CORESET can consist of up to three OFDM symbols. In addition, a CORESET is defined as a multiple of six resource blocks up to the carrier bandwidth in the frequency domain.

[0086] The first CORESET is indicated via the MIB as part of the initial bandwidth part configuration, allowing the terminal to receive additional configuration and system information from the network. After establishing a connection with the base station, the terminal can receive and configure one or more CORESET information via RRC signaling.

[0087] Wider bandwidth operations

[0088] Existing LTE systems supported scalable bandwidth operation for any LTE Component Carrier (CC). That is, depending on the deployment scenario, any LTE operator could configure a single LTE CC with a bandwidth ranging from a minimum of 1.4 MHz to a maximum of 20 MHz, and a normal LTE terminal supported transmission and reception capabilities of 20 MHz bandwidth for a single LTE CC.

[0089] However, in the case of NR, the design is made to support NR terminals with different transmission and reception bandwidth capabilities through a single wideband NR CC, and accordingly, it is required to configure one or more bandwidth parts (BWP, bandwidth part(s)) consisting of segmented bandwidths for any NR CC, and to support flexible wider bandwidth operation through different bandwidth part configurations and activations for each terminal.

[0090] Specifically, in NR, one or more bandwidth parts can be configured through one serving cell configured from the terminal's perspective, and the terminal is defined to activate one downlink bandwidth part (DL bandwidth part) and one uplink bandwidth part (UL bandwidth part) in the serving cell to use them for uplink / downlink data transmission and reception. In addition, when multiple serving cells are configured in the terminal, that is, for the terminal to which CA is applied, it is defined to activate one downlink bandwidth part and / or uplink bandwidth part for each serving cell to use the radio resources of the serving cell to use them for uplink / downlink data transmission and reception.

[0091] Specifically, an initial bandwidth part for an initial access procedure of a terminal in an arbitrary serving cell is defined, one or more UE-specific bandwidth part(s) are configured for each terminal through dedicated RRC signaling, and a default bandwidth part for a fallback operation can also be defined for each terminal.

[0092] However, it can be defined that multiple downlink and / or uplink bandwidth parts can be activated and used simultaneously depending on the capability and bandwidth part(s) configuration of the terminal in any serving cell, but in NR rel-15, it is defined that only one downlink bandwidth part (DL bandwidth part) and one uplink bandwidth part (UL bandwidth part) can be activated and used in any terminal at any time.

[0093] In this specification, the terms frequency, frame, subframe, resource, resource block, region, band, subband, control channel, data channel, synchronization signal, various reference signals, various signals or various messages related to NR (New Radio) may be interpreted in the past or present meaning or in various meanings used in the future.

[0094]

[0095] The present disclosure proposes a method for measuring and reporting a downlink channel at a terminal in a wireless communication system. In particular, the present disclosure proposes a method for measuring and reporting a downlink channel at a terminal in a mobile communication system supporting full-duplex communication.

[0096] TDD (Time Division Duplex) is a duplexing method widely used in commercial New Radio (NR) and 5G mobile communication systems. In TDD, time-slot radio resources are divided into downlink and uplink slots. Typically, downlink slots are distributed at a higher rate than uplink slots, depending on the distribution ratio of uplink to downlink traffic. However, this limitation on uplink slots negatively impacts coverage and latency. Full-duplex communication can be applied as a technology to address these issues.

[0097] Full-duplex communication is a technology that performs DL transmission and UL reception simultaneously on the same radio resources, specifically at the gNB, or base station. Simultaneous DL reception and UL transmission can also be performed at the terminal side. In other words, both the base station and the terminal can support full duplex. However, unlike the base station, which is structurally easy to cancel self-interference, the DL reception performance of the terminal is easily affected by self-interference of the UL transmission signal. Therefore, it is generally considered that the base station operates in full-duplex communication, and the terminal operates in half-duplex communication. Additionally, to reduce the influence of self-interference at the base station, a subband non-overlapping full-duplex (subband non-overlapping full-duplex, also referred to as SBFD or subband full-duplex in this disclosure) method can be primarily considered, in which DL transmission and UL reception are performed simultaneously, but the DL / UL are transmitted and received by distinguishing frequency resources rather than using the same resources.

[0098] FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example in which an uplink subband is set in an arbitrary downlink slot according to one embodiment. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating another example in which an uplink subband is set in an arbitrary downlink slot according to one embodiment.

[0099] That is, FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate examples in which DL slots and UL slots are configured in a ratio of 4:1 in an arbitrary NR frequency band. However, some symbols of the last DL slot may be special slots including flexible symbols for DL / UL transition. In this way, when a TDD (Time Division Duplex) configuration is made, an uplink subband (UL subband) may be set to support UL transmission of a terminal in some (or all) of the DL slots. When a UL subband is set in an arbitrary DL slot, the UL subband may be set at the center of the frequency band, as shown in FIG. 8, or at the edge of the frequency band, as shown in FIG. 9. In this case, a guard band may be set between the UL subband and the downlink subband (DL subband) in the slot.

[0100] In addition, for frequency resources other than the UL subband and guard band, they can be utilized as DL subbands for DL ​​transmission and reception according to the existing slot / symbol configuration information. That is, as in FIG. 8, if the UL subband is configured around the center of the frequency band, two guard bands, one each above and below the UL subband, can be configured, and then similarly, two DL subbands, one each above and below the UL subband, can be configured. Alternatively, as in FIG. 9, if the UL subband is configured at the edge of the frequency band, one guard band and one DL subband can be configured following the UL subband.

[0101] The UL-DL slot configuration defined in NR is defined to be done on a cell-by-cell basis through cell-specific RRC signaling. That is, a pattern of DL symbols, UL symbols, and flexible symbols for a certain period is set through the RRC message 'tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon' for the corresponding UL-DL slot configuration. Additionally, through the UE-specific RRC signaling 'tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationDedicated', only the flexible symbols set through the 'tdd-UL-DL-ConfigurationCommon' can be reallocated to UL symbols, DL symbols, or flexible symbols for each UE. Alternatively, a method for indicating a dynamic slot format through a UE-group common PDCCH is also defined. For this purpose, NR also supports a dynamic slot format indication method through DCI format 2_0.

[0102] According to the slot configuration method described above, any one symbol can be set or indicated as one of DL, UL, or Flexible. FIG. 8 is an example in which an arbitrary slot format is set to DDDSU through the existing slot configuration. D refers to a downlink slot, meaning that all OFDM symbols constituting the slot are set to DL. U refers to an uplink slot, meaning that all OFDM symbols constituting the slot are set to UL. S refers to a special slot, meaning that a slot includes a flexible symbol for DL / UL transition. Typically, in the case of a normal CP, the special slot can be configured with 12 DL symbols and 2 flexible symbols out of a total of 14 symbols. Alternatively, it can be configured with 10 DL symbols, 2 flexible symbols, and 2 UL symbols. That is, within any one TDD carrier, one symbol is configured or indicated as only one of DL, UL, or flexible.

[0103] However, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, if a UL subband is configured in any DL slot, DL transmission or UL transmission can occur simultaneously for each frequency resource in the symbol. In this way, a DL slot or symbol including a UL subband, or a UL slot or symbol including a DL subband, is referred to as an SBFD (subband full duplex) slot or SBFD symbol in the present disclosure.

[0104] In addition, in the present disclosure, a slot composed only of the SBFD symbols is referred to as an SBFD slot, and a slot composed only of symbols according to existing symbol settings (i.e., a slot composed only of symbols that do not include a UL subband, a DL subband, and a guardband) is referred to as a non-SBFD slot. Alternatively, a slot including at least one SBFD symbol may be referred to as an SBFD slot. As mentioned above, this is for convenience of explanation and is not limited to the terminology.

[0105]

[0106] Below, a method for transmitting and receiving downlink data in a wireless mobile communication system will be specifically described with reference to related drawings.

[0107] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a procedure (1000) for a terminal to receive downlink data according to one embodiment.

[0108] Referring to FIG. 10, a terminal can receive SBFD configuration information including configuration information for at least one uplink subband and at least one downlink subband and configuration information for a subband full duplex (SBFD) symbol (S1010).

[0109] A terminal can receive SBFD configuration information for performing communication in a full-duplex mode. If a base station supports full-duplex communication based on subband non-overlapping, certain frequency resources within the same symbol in a TDD carrier can be used for downlink transmission, and other frequency resources can be used for uplink reception. That is, within a TDD carrier, some frequency resources in any downlink symbol can be configured to be utilized for uplink transmission of a terminal, or to be utilized as flexible symbols for downlink / uplink transition.

[0110] A terminal may configure a downlink subband in an uplink slot, or receive information about a time domain and a frequency domain for configuring an uplink subband in a downlink slot. According to an example, the SBFD configuration information may include configuration information about at least one uplink subband and at least one downlink subband. In addition, the SBFD configuration information may include configuration information about an SBFD symbol in which an uplink subband and a downlink subband are configured in the frequency domain. Alternatively, the SBFD configuration information may include information about a frequency domain in which a guard band is configured and information about a time domain. Here, the frequency resource information may include resource block allocation information, and the time resource information may include SBFD symbol allocation information.

[0111] In addition, for configuring SBFD subbands, time resource information for uplink subbands can be set based on reference subcarrier spacing (SCS) information and pattern setting information. In this case, the time resource information can be set based on the reference subcarrier spacing (SCS) included in the TDD configuration information. That is, the reference subcarrier spacing (SCS) setting included in the TDD configuration information can be used as a reference SCS for setting time resources for configuring uplink subbands.

[0112] Additionally, time resource information can be set based on the number of TDD patterns and the period of the patterns included in the TDD configuration information. That is, the settings for Pattern 1 and Pattern 2 included in the TDD configuration information can be used as pattern setting information for setting time resources for configuring an uplink subband.

[0113] In this case, the SBFD symbol allocation information may be set to consecutive SBFD symbols within the cycle of a TDD pattern set to one or two. Each pattern setting information may include cycle setting information, offset information, and duration information of the corresponding pattern. At this time, the duration information may be set to the number of consecutive SBFD symbols from the offset, or may be set to a combination of the number of consecutive SBFD slots and the number of consecutive SBFD symbols. Alternatively, according to an example, the offset may be set to an end point instead of a start point. That is, offset information corresponding to the end point and duration information from the end point may be set.

[0114] For configuring SBFD subbands, frequency resource configuration information for uplink subbands may be configured in units of common resource blocks (CRBs). In this case, frequency resource configuration for uplink subbands may be accompanied by guardband configuration or downlink subband configuration within the same symbol / slot. That is, frequency resource configuration information for uplink subbands may include at least one of guardbands accompanying an SBFD slot or SBFD symbol in which the uplink subband is configured, or frequency resource configuration information for downlink subbands. In this case, time resource configuration information for the guardband or downlink subbands may be configured according to the time resource configuration information of the uplink subband.

[0115] For example, for configuring SBFD subbands, frequency resource information for an uplink subband may include configuration information for one uplink subband and one or two guard bands based on a CRB. In this case, if the uplink subband is located in the center of the frequency band, two guard bands may be configured above and below the uplink subband. Alternatively, if the uplink subband is located at the upper boundary of the frequency band, one guard band may be configured below the uplink subband. Alternatively, if the uplink subband is located at the lower boundary of the frequency band, one guard band may be configured above the uplink subband. Accordingly, configuration information for one or two guard bands may be included in the frequency resource information. In this case, a downlink subband may be configured with a guard band in between, and the downlink subband may be inferred from the frequency resource information for the uplink subband and the guard band.

[0116] In another example, for configuring SBFD subbands, frequency resource information for an uplink subband may include configuration information for one uplink subband and one or two downlink subbands based on a CRB. In this case, if the uplink subband is located in the center of the frequency band, two downlink subbands may be configured above and below the uplink subband. Alternatively, if the uplink subband is located at the upper boundary of the frequency band, one downlink subband may be configured below the uplink subband. Alternatively, if the uplink subband is located at the lower boundary of the frequency band, one downlink subband may be configured above the uplink subband. Accordingly, configuration information for one or two downlink subbands may be included in the frequency resource information. In this case, a guard band may be configured between the uplink subband and the downlink subband, and the guard band may be inferred from the frequency resource information for the uplink subband and the downlink subband.

[0117] For example, SBFD configuration information can be received via cell-specific upper layer signaling. That is, the terminal can receive SBFD subband configuration information from the base station via cell-specific RRC signaling. The terminal can receive the TDD configuration information and SBFD subband configuration information to configure a format for each slot.

[0118] Referring again to FIG. 10, the terminal receives a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) including downlink control information for scheduling a PDSCH including downlink data information (S1020), and can receive the PDSCH based on the downlink control information (S1030).

[0119] The terminal can receive downlink control information, such as DCI format 1_0, 1_1, 1_2, including PDSCH resource allocation information, from the base station via the PDCCH. Accordingly, the terminal can obtain time resource allocation information and frequency resource allocation information for PDSCH reception. In addition, QCL (Quasi-Colocation) information for PDSCH reception by the terminal can also be indicated via the downlink control information, or determined by the QCL information of the PDCCH transmitting the corresponding downlink control information.

[0120] For this purpose, at least one Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state including QCL information can be configured through upper layer signaling, such as RRC signaling, such as PDSCH configuration information. Codepoint activation for one or more TCI states can be performed through MAC CE signaling for the configured TCI states. That is, each codepoint can be set to correspond to a TCI state to be activated. The codepoint for the activated TCI state is indicated through the TCI field of the downlink control information, and accordingly, the terminal can check the QCL information used for PDSCH reception.

[0121] However, in order to secure processing time such as decoding time for downlink control information and spatial Rx filter adjustment according to indicated QCL information, a time offset is required between a PDCCH reception symbol and a corresponding PDSCH reception symbol. In this case, if the time offset value between the symbol assigned to the PDCCH and the symbol assigned to the PDSCH is smaller than a predetermined time period, for example, a QCL application time period, the QCL information for the corresponding PDSCH reception may be the TCI state of the CORESET in which the PDCCH reception was performed or the QCL information corresponding thereto, rather than the QCL information indicated by the downlink control information. Here, the value of the QCL application time period may be the number of symbols corresponding to each SCS and may be reported to the base station through capability signaling of the terminal.

[0122] As described above, when full-duplex communication is applied to a terminal, the configuration of the antenna through which PDSCH transmission is performed at the base station may vary depending on whether the type of symbol through which PDSCH reception is performed is a non-SBFD symbol or an SBFD symbol. Accordingly, parameters for receiving beamforming for PDSCH reception at the terminal, i.e., adjusting the spatial RX filter, may vary. In particular, when PDCCH transmission and its corresponding PDSCH transmission are performed through different symbol types, as described above, when PDSCH reception is performed according to the QCL setting of the CORESET through which the PDCCH transmission is performed, appropriate reception performance may not be guaranteed. Therefore, in consideration of this, the present disclosure proposes a symbol allocation method for PDSCH transmission and a QCL information setting method.

[0123] In order to ensure reception performance in the SBFD system, at least one of the type of symbol used for reception of the PDSCH or QCL (Quasi-Colation) information may be configured based on the type of symbol used for reception of the PDCCH.

[0124] For example, a symbol used for receiving a PDSCH may be composed of a symbol of the same type as a symbol used for receiving a PDCCH among SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols. That is, a terminal may be configured not to expect that reception of a PDCCH including downlink control information and reception of a corresponding PDSCH are performed through different symbol types. Accordingly, a base station may also be configured not to perform PDCCH transmission for transmitting downlink control information to a terminal and transmission of a corresponding PDSCH through different symbol types. That is, transmission of a PDSCH corresponding to downlink control information included in a PDCCH transmitted through a non-SBFD symbol may be configured to occur only through the same non-SBFD symbol. In addition, transmission of a PDSCH corresponding to downlink control information included in a PDCCH transmitted through an SBFD symbol may also be configured to occur only through an SBFD symbol.

[0125] For example, a symbol used for receiving a PDSCH may be configured with a symbol of the same type as the symbol used for receiving a PDCCH among SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, if the time offset between receiving a PDCCH and receiving a PDSCH is within a predetermined time period. That is, PDCCH reception and its corresponding PDSCH reception are configured to be performed through the same symbol type, but PDSCH resource allocation through a symbol type different from the PDCCH transmission symbol may be restricted only when the time offset between receiving a PDCCH and receiving a PDSCH is within a specific time period. For example, the restriction may be configured to apply only when the time offset between receiving a PDCCH and receiving a PDSCH is within the aforementioned QCL application time period. That is, it may be restricted so that PDCCH and PDSCH transmission through different symbol types are not expected between PDCCH transmission and its corresponding PDSCH transmission within the QCL application time period.

[0126] Conversely, for PDSCH transmissions that satisfy a time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH that is greater than or equal to a QCL application time period, the time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH may be configured to allow allocation of PDSCH transmission symbols of a different type from the PDCCH transmission symbols. Alternatively, the time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH for supporting PDSCH resource allocation through symbols of a different type from the PDCCH transmission / reception symbols may be fixed to a specific number of symbols according to the SCS, determined by the capability of the UE, or set as a separate value by the base station, and transmitted to the UE through UE-specific or cell-specific RRC signaling.

[0127] For example, the QCL information used for receiving a PDSCH may be configured or activated separately from the QCL information used for receiving a PDCCH if the symbols used for receiving a PDSCH and the symbols used for receiving a PDCCH are composed of different types of symbols. That is, the TCI state for an SBFD symbol and the TCI state for a non-SBFD symbol may be set or activated by pairing. For example, for a CORESET defined for a non-SBFD symbol, the base station may set one or more TCI states for PDCCH reception through the corresponding CORESET and activate one TCI state through MAC CE signaling. The terminal receives the PDCCH through the corresponding CORESET based on the QCL information based on the activated TCI state through the non-SBFD symbol. At this time, if the corresponding PDCCH includes PDSCH resource allocation information and the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is less than the QCL application time interval, the UE can determine the QCL information for the corresponding PDSCH reception based on the QCL information according to the TCI state activated for PDCCH reception. At this time, if the TCI state for the corresponding non-SBFD symbol is set or one TCI state is activated through MAC CE signaling, the base station can set or activate a separate TCI state for SBFD to be applied when the PDSCH transmission corresponding to the PDCCH transmitted through the corresponding CORESET is performed in the SBFD symbol and the time offset between the corresponding PDCCH and the PDSCH is less than the QCL application time interval.

[0128] Conversely, for a CORESET defined for an SBFD symbol, the base station can set one or more TCI states for PDCCH reception through the CORESET and activate one TCI state through MAC CE signaling. The UE receives the PDCCH through the CORESET based on QCL information based on the TCI state activated through the SBFD symbol. At this time, if the PDCCH includes PDSCH resource allocation information and the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time period, the UE can determine QCL information for PDSCH reception based on the QCL information according to the TCI state activated for the PDCCH reception. At this time, when setting a TCI state for the corresponding SBFD symbol or activating one TCI state through MAC CE signaling, the base station can set or activate a separate TCI state for non-SBFD to be applied when a PDSCH transmission corresponding to a PDCCH transmitted through the corresponding CORESET is performed in a non-SBFD symbol and the time offset between the corresponding PDCCH and PDSCH is less than the QCL application time period.

[0129] In this way, when setting up a CORESET, if the time offset between the PDCCH transmitted through the CORESET and the corresponding PDSCH transmission is smaller than the QCL application time period and the types of the PDCCH transmission symbol and the PDSCH transmission symbol are different, a separate TCI state can be set or activated for TCI state determination for QCL application of the PDSCH reception. Here, setting means that one or more TCI state setting information is transmitted to the terminal through RRC signaling, and activation means that when one or more set TCI states are set, one of the set TCI states is activated through MAC CE signaling.

[0130] For example, the QCL information used for receiving PDSCH may be configured separately for SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols. That is, a default TCI state may be set or activated for each symbol type. For example, a separate default TCI state and corresponding QCL information for SBFD symbols may be set via RRC signaling. Alternatively, a default TCI state and corresponding QCL information for one or more SBFD symbols may be set via RRC signaling, and one of the set TCI states may be activated via MAC CE signaling.

[0131] In this case, the default TCI state is set or activated for each symbol type, or set or activated for each CORESET, so that the PDCCH transmitted through the CORESET and the corresponding PDSCH transmission are performed through different symbol types, and if the downlink control information of the corresponding PDCCH does not include a TCI field, or if the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time period, the reception QCL of the PDSCH can be determined by the default TCI for the corresponding PDSCH reception symbol or a different symbol type set as the CORESET target.

[0132] Accordingly, the terminal can receive downlink based on default TCI state information for SBFD symbols, starting from the first SBFD symbol in which a transition from a non-SBFD symbol to an SBFD symbol occurs. For example, if downlink control information transmitted via PDCCH of any non-SBFD symbol includes PDSCH resource allocation information in the SBFD symbol, and if the downlink control information does not include TCI state indication information or if the time offset between the PDCCH transmission and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time interval, the terminal can determine the QCL for receiving the PDSCH based on the default TCI state set or activated for the SBFD symbol. However, if the TCI state for the first SBFD symbol is indicated via downlink control information that satisfies the QCL application time interval, the terminal can receive downlink based on the QCL information of the TCI state indicated via the DCI format.

[0133] Conversely, the default TCI state for the existing non-SBFD symbol can also be set by the base station through RRC signaling or activated by MAC CE signaling. Accordingly, starting from the first symbol where a transition occurs from an SBFD symbol to a non-SBFD symbol, the QCL information for downlink reception of the UE can be determined by the default TCI for the non-SBFD symbol. For example, if a PDCCH transmission based on an arbitrary CORESET is performed through an SBFD symbol and the downlink control information transmitted through the PDCCH includes PDSCH reception resource allocation information in the non-SBFD symbol but does not include TCI state indication information, or if the time offset between the PDCCH transmission and the PDSCH is less than the QCL application time interval, the UE can determine the QCL for the PDSCH reception based on the default TCI state set or activated for the non-SBFD symbol.

[0134] The terminal can receive the PDSCH using the QCL information included in the determined TCI state.

[0135] Accordingly, a method and device for transmitting and receiving downlink data in an environment where full-duplex communication is applied can be provided.

[0136] FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a procedure (1100) for transmitting downlink data by a base station according to one embodiment. The description given above in FIG. 10 may be omitted to avoid redundant description. In this case, the omitted content may be substantially equally applied to the base station, as long as it does not conflict with the technical spirit of the invention.

[0137] Referring to FIG. 11, a base station can transmit SBFD configuration information including configuration information for at least one uplink subband and at least one downlink subband and configuration information for a subband full duplex (SBFD) symbol (S1110).

[0138] A base station can transmit SBFD configuration information to a terminal for performing communication in a full-duplex mode. If the base station supports full-duplex communication based on subband non-overlapping, certain frequency resources within the same symbol in a TDD carrier can be used for downlink transmission, and other frequency resources can be used for uplink reception. That is, within a TDD carrier, some frequency resources in any downlink symbol can be configured to be utilized for uplink transmission of a terminal, or to be utilized as flexible symbols for downlink / uplink transition.

[0139] A base station may configure a downlink subband in an uplink slot, or transmit information about a time domain and a frequency domain for configuring an uplink subband in a downlink slot. For example, the SBFD configuration information may include configuration information about at least one uplink subband and at least one downlink subband. In addition, the SBFD configuration information may include configuration information about an SBFD symbol in which an uplink subband and a downlink subband are configured in the frequency domain. Alternatively, the SBFD configuration information may include information about a frequency domain in which a guard band is configured and information about a time domain. Here, the frequency resource information may include resource block allocation information, and the time resource information may include SBFD symbol allocation information.

[0140] In addition, for configuring SBFD subbands, time resource information for uplink subbands can be set based on reference subcarrier spacing (SCS) information and pattern setting information. In this case, the time resource information can be set based on the reference subcarrier spacing (SCS) included in the TDD configuration information. That is, the reference subcarrier spacing (SCS) setting included in the TDD configuration information can be used as a reference SCS for setting time resources for configuring uplink subbands.

[0141] Additionally, time resource information can be set based on the number of TDD patterns and the period of the patterns included in the TDD configuration information. That is, the settings for Pattern 1 and Pattern 2 included in the TDD configuration information can be used as pattern setting information for setting time resources for configuring an uplink subband.

[0142] In this case, the SBFD symbol allocation information may be set to consecutive SBFD symbols within the cycle of a TDD pattern set to one or two. Each pattern setting information may include cycle setting information, offset information, and duration information of the corresponding pattern. At this time, the duration information may be set to the number of consecutive SBFD symbols from the offset, or may be set to a combination of the number of consecutive SBFD slots and the number of consecutive SBFD symbols. Alternatively, according to an example, the offset may be set to an end point instead of a start point. That is, offset information corresponding to the end point and duration information from the end point may be set.

[0143] For configuring SBFD subbands, frequency resource configuration information for uplink subbands may be configured in units of common resource blocks (CRBs). In this case, frequency resource configuration for uplink subbands may be accompanied by guardband configuration or downlink subband configuration within the same symbol / slot. That is, frequency resource configuration information for uplink subbands may include at least one of guardbands accompanying an SBFD slot or SBFD symbol in which the uplink subband is configured, or frequency resource configuration information for downlink subbands. In this case, time resource configuration information for the guardband or downlink subbands may be configured according to the time resource configuration information of the uplink subband.

[0144] For example, for configuring SBFD subbands, frequency resource information for an uplink subband may include configuration information for one uplink subband and one or two guard bands based on a CRB. In this case, if the uplink subband is located in the center of the frequency band, two guard bands may be configured above and below the uplink subband. Alternatively, if the uplink subband is located at the upper boundary of the frequency band, one guard band may be configured below the uplink subband. Alternatively, if the uplink subband is located at the lower boundary of the frequency band, one guard band may be configured above the uplink subband. Accordingly, configuration information for one or two guard bands may be included in the frequency resource information. In this case, a downlink subband may be configured with a guard band in between, and the downlink subband may be inferred from the frequency resource information for the uplink subband and the guard band.

[0145] In another example, for configuring SBFD subbands, frequency resource information for an uplink subband may include configuration information for one uplink subband and one or two downlink subbands based on a CRB. In this case, if the uplink subband is located in the center of the frequency band, two downlink subbands may be configured above and below the uplink subband. Alternatively, if the uplink subband is located at the upper boundary of the frequency band, one downlink subband may be configured below the uplink subband. Alternatively, if the uplink subband is located at the lower boundary of the frequency band, one downlink subband may be configured above the uplink subband. Accordingly, configuration information for one or two downlink subbands may be included in the frequency resource information. In this case, a guard band may be configured between the uplink subband and the downlink subband, and the guard band may be inferred from the frequency resource information for the uplink subband and the downlink subband.

[0146] For example, SBFD configuration information can be transmitted via cell-specific upper layer signaling. That is, the base station can transmit SBFD subband configuration information from the base station via cell-specific RRC signaling. The terminal can receive the TDD configuration information and SBFD subband configuration information and configure a format for each slot.

[0147] Referring again to FIG. 11, the base station transmits a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel) including downlink control information for scheduling a PDSCH including downlink data information (S1120), and can transmit the PDSCH based on the downlink control information (S1130).

[0148] The base station can transmit downlink control information, such as DCI format 1_0, 1_1, 1_2, including PDSCH resource allocation information, to the terminal via the PDCCH. Accordingly, the terminal can obtain time resource allocation information and frequency resource allocation information for PDSCH reception. In addition, QCL (Quasi-Colocation) information for PDSCH reception by the terminal can also be indicated via the downlink control information, or determined by the QCL information of the PDCCH transmitting the corresponding downlink control information.

[0149] For this purpose, at least one Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state including QCL information can be configured through upper layer signaling, such as RRC signaling, such as PDSCH configuration information. Codepoint activation for one or more TCI states can be performed through MAC CE signaling for the configured TCI states. That is, each codepoint can be set to correspond to a TCI state to be activated. The codepoint for the activated TCI state is indicated through the TCI field of the downlink control information, and accordingly, the terminal can check the QCL information used for PDSCH reception.

[0150] However, in order to secure processing time such as decoding time for downlink control information and spatial Rx filter adjustment according to indicated QCL information, a time offset is required between a PDCCH reception symbol and a corresponding PDSCH reception symbol. In this case, if the time offset value between the symbol assigned to the PDCCH and the symbol assigned to the PDSCH is smaller than a predetermined time period, for example, a QCL application time period, the QCL information for the corresponding PDSCH reception may be the TCI state of the CORESET in which the PDCCH reception was performed or the QCL information corresponding thereto, rather than the QCL information indicated by the downlink control information. Here, the value of the QCL application time period may be the number of symbols corresponding to each SCS and may be reported to the base station through capability signaling of the terminal.

[0151] As described above, when full-duplex communication is applied to a terminal, the configuration of the antenna through which PDSCH transmission is performed at the base station may vary depending on whether the type of symbol through which PDSCH reception is performed is a non-SBFD symbol or an SBFD symbol. Accordingly, parameters for receiving beamforming for PDSCH reception at the terminal, i.e., adjusting the spatial RX filter, may vary. In particular, when PDCCH transmission and its corresponding PDSCH transmission are performed through different symbol types, as described above, when PDSCH reception is performed according to the QCL setting of the CORESET through which the PDCCH transmission is performed, appropriate reception performance may not be guaranteed. Therefore, in consideration of this, the present disclosure proposes a symbol allocation method for PDSCH transmission and a QCL information setting method.

[0152] In order to ensure reception performance in the SBFD system, at least one of the type of symbol used for reception of the PDSCH or QCL (Quasi-Colation) information may be configured based on the type of symbol used for reception of the PDCCH.

[0153] For example, a symbol used for receiving a PDSCH may be composed of a symbol of the same type as a symbol used for receiving a PDCCH among SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols. That is, a terminal may be configured not to expect that reception of a PDCCH including downlink control information and reception of a corresponding PDSCH are performed through different symbol types. Accordingly, a base station may also be configured not to perform PDCCH transmission for transmitting downlink control information to a terminal and transmission of a corresponding PDSCH through different symbol types. That is, transmission of a PDSCH corresponding to downlink control information included in a PDCCH transmitted through a non-SBFD symbol may be configured to occur only through the same non-SBFD symbol. In addition, transmission of a PDSCH corresponding to downlink control information included in a PDCCH transmitted through an SBFD symbol may also be configured to occur only through an SBFD symbol.

[0154] For example, a symbol used for receiving a PDSCH may be configured with a symbol of the same type as the symbol used for receiving a PDCCH among SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, if the time offset between receiving a PDCCH and receiving a PDSCH is within a predetermined time period. That is, PDCCH reception and its corresponding PDSCH reception are configured to be performed through the same symbol type, but PDSCH resource allocation through a symbol type different from the PDCCH transmission symbol may be restricted only when the time offset between receiving a PDCCH and receiving a PDSCH is within a specific time period. For example, the restriction may be configured to apply only when the time offset between receiving a PDCCH and receiving a PDSCH is within the aforementioned QCL application time period. That is, it may be restricted so that PDCCH and PDSCH transmission through different symbol types are not expected between PDCCH transmission and its corresponding PDSCH transmission within the QCL application time period.

[0155] Conversely, for PDSCH transmissions that satisfy a time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH that is greater than or equal to a QCL application time period, the time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH may be configured to allow allocation of PDSCH transmission symbols of a different type from the PDCCH transmission symbols. Alternatively, the time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH for supporting PDSCH resource allocation through symbols of a different type from the PDCCH transmission / reception symbols may be fixed to a specific number of symbols according to the SCS, determined by the capability of the UE, or set as a separate value by the base station, and transmitted to the UE through UE-specific or cell-specific RRC signaling.

[0156] For example, the QCL information used for receiving a PDSCH may be configured or activated separately from the QCL information used for receiving a PDCCH if the symbols used for receiving a PDSCH and the symbols used for receiving a PDCCH are composed of different types of symbols. That is, the TCI state for an SBFD symbol and the TCI state for a non-SBFD symbol may be set or activated by pairing. For example, for a CORESET defined for a non-SBFD symbol, the base station may set one or more TCI states for PDCCH reception through the corresponding CORESET and activate one TCI state through MAC CE signaling. The base station transmits a PDCCH through the corresponding CORESET based on the QCL information based on the activated TCI state through the non-SBFD symbol. At this time, if the corresponding PDCCH includes PDSCH resource allocation information and the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is less than the QCL application time interval, the UE can determine the QCL information for the corresponding PDSCH reception based on the QCL information according to the TCI state activated for PDCCH reception. At this time, if the TCI state for the corresponding non-SBFD symbol is set or one TCI state is activated through MAC CE signaling, the base station can set or activate a separate TCI state for SBFD to be applied when the PDSCH transmission corresponding to the PDCCH transmitted through the corresponding CORESET is performed in the SBFD symbol and the time offset between the corresponding PDCCH and the PDSCH is less than the QCL application time interval.

[0157] Conversely, for a CORESET defined for an SBFD symbol, the base station can set one or more TCI states for PDCCH reception through the CORESET and activate one TCI state through MAC CE signaling. The base station transmits a PDCCH through the CORESET based on QCL information based on the TCI state activated through the SBFD symbol. At this time, if the PDCCH includes PDSCH resource allocation information and the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time period, the UE can determine QCL information for PDSCH reception based on the QCL information according to the TCI state activated for the PDCCH reception. At this time, when setting a TCI state for the corresponding SBFD symbol or activating one TCI state through MAC CE signaling, the base station can set or activate a separate TCI state for non-SBFD to be applied when a PDSCH transmission corresponding to a PDCCH transmitted through the corresponding CORESET is performed in a non-SBFD symbol and the time offset between the corresponding PDCCH and PDSCH is less than the QCL application time period.

[0158] In this way, when setting up a CORESET, if the time offset between the PDCCH transmitted through the CORESET and the corresponding PDSCH transmission is smaller than the QCL application time period and the types of the PDCCH transmission symbol and the PDSCH transmission symbol are different, a separate TCI state can be set or activated for determining the TCI state for applying the corresponding PDSCH reception QCL.

[0159] For example, the QCL information used for receiving PDSCH may be configured separately for SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols. That is, a default TCI state may be set or activated for each symbol type. For example, a separate default TCI state and corresponding QCL information for SBFD symbols may be set via RRC signaling. Alternatively, a default TCI state and corresponding QCL information for one or more SBFD symbols may be set via RRC signaling, and one of the set TCI states may be activated via MAC CE signaling.

[0160] In this case, the default TCI state is set or activated for each symbol type, or set or activated for each CORESET, so that the PDCCH transmitted through the CORESET and the corresponding PDSCH transmission are performed through different symbol types, and if the downlink control information of the corresponding PDCCH does not include a TCI field, or if the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time period, the reception QCL of the PDSCH can be determined by the default TCI for the corresponding PDSCH reception symbol or a different symbol type set as the CORESET target.

[0161] Accordingly, the base station can transmit the downlink based on the default TCI state information for the SBFD symbol from the first SBFD symbol in which a transition from a non-SBFD symbol to an SBFD symbol occurs. For example, if the downlink control information transmitted through the PDCCH of any non-SBFD symbol includes PDSCH resource allocation information in the SBFD symbol, and if the downlink control information does not include TCI state indication information or if the time offset between the PDCCH transmission and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time interval, the UE can determine the QCL for the PDSCH reception based on the default TCI state set or activated for the SBFD symbol. However, if the TCI state for the first SBFD symbol is indicated through the downlink control information satisfying the QCL application time interval, the base station can transmit the downlink based on the QCL information of the TCI state indicated through the DCI format.

[0162] Conversely, the default TCI state for the existing non-SBFD symbol can also be set by the base station through RRC signaling or activated by MAC CE signaling. Accordingly, starting from the first symbol where a transition occurs from an SBFD symbol to a non-SBFD symbol, the QCL information for downlink reception of the UE can be determined by the default TCI for the non-SBFD symbol. For example, if a PDCCH transmission based on an arbitrary CORESET is performed through an SBFD symbol and the downlink control information transmitted through the PDCCH includes PDSCH reception resource allocation information in the non-SBFD symbol but does not include TCI state indication information, or if the time offset between the PDCCH transmission and the PDSCH is less than the QCL application time interval, the UE can determine the QCL for the PDSCH reception based on the default TCI state set or activated for the non-SBFD symbol.

[0163] The base station can transmit the PDSCH to the terminal using the QCL information included in the determined TCI state.

[0164] Accordingly, a method and device for transmitting and receiving downlink data in an environment where full-duplex communication is applied can be provided.

[0165]

[0166] Hereinafter, each embodiment related to a method for transmitting and receiving downlink data in a wireless mobile communication system will be specifically described with reference to related drawings.

[0167] In this disclosure, a method for determining QCL (Quasi-Colocation) information for PDSCH reception at a terminal is proposed based on time resource allocation information for PDSCH transmission and reception at a base station and a terminal. In particular, in a case where some of the symbols set as downlink (DL) or flexible by TDD-UL-DL configuration information to support SBFD are set as SBFD symbols including uplink (UL) subbands, DL subbands, and guard bands corresponding thereto, a method for determining QCL information for PDSCH reception is proposed.

[0168] The terminal obtains symbol allocation information and frequency resource allocation information for PDSCH reception by receiving a DCI format (e.g., DCI format 1_0, 1_1, 1_2, etc.) containing PDSCH resource allocation information from the base station via the PDCCH. In addition, QCL (Quasi-Colocation) information for PDSCH reception by the terminal is also indicated via the DCI format or determined by the QCL information of the PDCCH transmitting the corresponding DCI format.

[0169] Specifically, symbol allocation information for PDSCH reception is indicated to the terminal through TDRA (Time Domain Resource Assignment) information in DCI format.

[0170] QCL information for PDSCH reception is based on QCL configuration information included in at least one Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state configured through RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling, and codepoint activation for one or more TCI states is performed through MAC (Medium Access Control) CE (control element) signaling. By indicating the codepoint for the activated TCI state through the TCI field of the DCI format, PDSCH reception QCL information for an arbitrary terminal is indicated. However, in order to secure processing time such as decoding time for DCI format at the terminal and adjustment of spatial Rx filter according to indicated QCL information, if the time offset value between the PDCCH reception symbol and the corresponding PDSCH reception symbol is less than timeDurationForQCL, timeDurationForQCL-v1710, the QCL information for the corresponding PDSCH reception follows the TCI state of the CORESET where the PDCCH reception was performed or the corresponding QCL information. The corresponding timeDurationForQCL, timeDurationForQCL-v1710 values ​​are reported to the base station through capability signaling of the terminal as the number of symbols corresponding to each SCS.

[0171] Depending on the type of symbol through which PDSCH reception for a terminal is performed, i.e., whether the symbol is a non-SBFD symbol or an SBFD symbol, the antenna configuration through which the PDSCH transmission is performed at the base station may vary. Consequently, parameters for receiving beamforming for PDSCH reception at the terminal, i.e., adjusting the spatial RX filter, may vary. In particular, when a PDCCH transmission and a corresponding PDSCH transmission are performed through different symbol types, it is difficult to ensure appropriate reception performance when PDSCH reception is performed according to the QCL setting of the CORESET through which the PDCCH transmission is performed according to the existing method. Therefore, in consideration of this, the present disclosure proposes a symbol allocation method and a QCL information setting method for an arbitrary PDSCH transmission.

[0172] As an example, a terminal may not expect that reception of a PDCCH including a DCI format and reception of a corresponding PDSCH will be performed through different symbol types, and a base station may also define that transmission of a PDCCH transmitting a DCI format and transmission of a corresponding PDSCH will not be performed through different symbol types for any terminal. That is, transmission of a PDSCH corresponding to a DCI format included in a PDCCH transmitted through a non-SBFD symbol may be configured to be performed only through the same non-SBFD symbol. Conversely, transmission of a PDSCH corresponding to a DCI format included in a PDCCH transmitted through an SBFD symbol may also be configured to be performed only through the SBFD symbol.

[0173] As another method, as described above, the terminal does not expect that PDCCH reception including DCI format and PDSCH reception corresponding thereto will be performed through different symbol types, and the base station also defines that PDCCH transmission transmitting DCI format and PDSCH transmission corresponding thereto will not be performed through different symbol types for any terminal, but only when the time offset between PDCCH reception and PDSCH reception is within a specific period (duration), PDSCH resource allocation through a symbol type different from the PDCCH transmission symbol may be restricted. For example, the restriction may be applied only when the time offset between PDCCH reception and PDSCH reception is within the above-mentioned timeDurationForQCL, timeDurationForQCL-v1710. That is, it is possible to restrict the expectation of PDCCH and PDSCH transmissions through different symbol types between PDCCH transmissions within timeDurationForQCL and timeDurationForQCL-v1710 and corresponding PDSCH transmissions, as in the above embodiment.

[0174] Conversely, for PDSCH transmissions that satisfy a time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH that is greater than or equal to timeDurationForQCL and timeDurationForQCL-v1710, allocation of a PDSCH transmission symbol of a different type from the PDCCH transmission symbol may be configured. Alternatively, the time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH for supporting PDSCH resource allocation through symbols of a different type from the PDCCH transmission / reception symbols may be fixed to a specific number of symbols according to the SCS, determined by the capability of the terminal, or set as a separate value by the base station and transmitted to the terminal through UE-specific or cell-specific RRC signaling.

[0175] Alternatively, when configuring a TCI state for any terminal via RRC signaling, or when activating a TCI state for any CORESET, it may be defined to pair and configure or activate a TCI state for an SBFD symbol with a TCI state for a non-SBFD symbol. For example, for any CORESET defined for a non-SBFD symbol, the base station configures one or more TCI states for PDCCH reception through the CORESET, and activates one TCI state through MAC CE signaling. The terminal receives a PDCCH through the CORESET based on QCL information based on the activated TCI state through the non-SBFD symbol. At this time, if the PDCCH includes PDSCH resource allocation information and the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is less than the timedurationforQCL, the terminal can determine QCL information for PDSCH reception based on the QCL information according to the TCI state activated for the PDCCH reception. At this time, when setting the TCI state for the non-SBFD symbol or activating one TCI state through MAC CE signaling, the base station may set or activate a separate TCI state for SBFD to be applied when the PDSCH transmission corresponding to the PDCCH transmitted through the CORESET is performed in the SBFD symbol and the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is less than timedurationforQCL.

[0176] Conversely, for any CORESET defined as a target of an SBFD symbol, the base station sets one or more TCI states for PDCCH reception through the CORESET and activates one TCI state through MAC CE signaling. The terminal receives the PDCCH through the CORESET based on QCL information based on the activated TCI state through the SBFD symbol. At this time, if the PDCCH includes PDSCH resource allocation information and the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is less than the timedurationforQCL, the terminal can determine QCL information for PDSCH reception based on the QCL information according to the TCI state activated for the PDCCH reception. At this time, when setting the TCI state for the corresponding SBFD symbol or activating one TCI state through MAC CE signaling, the base station may set or activate a separate TCI state for non-SBFD to be applied when the PDSCH transmission corresponding to the PDCCH transmitted through the corresponding CORESET is performed in a non-SBFD symbol and the time offset between the corresponding PDCCH and PDSCH is less than timedurationforQCL.

[0177] In this way, when setting an arbitrary CORESET, if the time offset between an arbitrary PDCCH transmitted through the CORESET and the corresponding PDSCH transmission is smaller than the timedurationforQCL, and the types of the PDCCH transmission symbol and the PDSCH transmission symbol are different, a separate TCI state can be set or activated for determining the TCI state for applying the corresponding PDSCH reception QCL. Here, setting means that one or more TCI state setting information is transmitted to the terminal through RRC signaling, and activation means that when one or more configured TCI states are set, one of the configured TCI states is activated through MAC CE signaling.

[0178] Alternatively, a default TCI state can be set or activated for each symbol type. For example, a separate default TCI state and corresponding QCL information for SBFD symbols can be set via RRC signaling. Alternatively, a default TCI state and corresponding QCL information for one or more SBFD symbols can be set via RRC signaling, and one of the TCI states set via MAC CE signaling can be activated. However, at this time, the default TCI state is set or activated by symbol type, or by CORESET, so that the PDCCH transmitted through any CORESET and the corresponding PDSCH transmission are performed through different symbol types, and if the DCI format of the PDCCH does not include a TCI field or does not satisfy the timedurationforQCL condition (i.e., if it is smaller than the timedurationforQCL, which is the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH), the reception QCL of the PDSCH can be determined by the default TCI for the PDSCH reception symbol or a different symbol type set as the CORESET target.

[0179] Accordingly, the terminal can receive downlink based on default TCI state information for SBFD symbols, starting from the first SBFD symbol in which a transition from a non-SBFD symbol to an SBFD symbol occurs. For example, if a DCI format transmitted through a PDCCH of any non-SBFD symbol includes PDSCH resource allocation information in the SBFD symbol, and if the DCI format does not include the TCI state indication information, or if the time offset between the PDCCH transmission and the PDSCH does not satisfy the timedurationforQCL condition (i.e., if it is smaller than the time offset, timedurationforQCL), the terminal can determine the QCL for receiving the PDSCH based on the default TCI state set or activated for the SBFD symbol. However, if the TCI state for the first SBFD symbol is indicated through a DCI format that satisfies the above timeDurationForQCL and timeDurationForQCL-v1710, the downlink is received based on the QCL information of the TCI state indicated through the DCI format.

[0180] Conversely, the default TCI state for the existing non-SBFD symbol can also be set by the base station via RRC signaling or activated via MAC CE signaling. Accordingly, starting from the first symbol where a transition occurs from an SBFD symbol to a non-SBFD symbol, the QCL information for the downlink reception of the UE can be determined by the default TCI for the non-SBFD symbol. For example, if a PDCCH transmission based on an arbitrary CORESET is performed through an SBFD symbol, and an arbitrary DCI format transmitted through the PDCCH includes PDSCH reception resource allocation information in the non-SBFD symbol but does not include TCI state indication information, or if the time offset between the PDCCH transmission and the PDSCH does not satisfy the timedurationforQCL condition (i.e., if it is smaller than the time offset, that is, the timedurationforQCL), the UE can determine the QCL for the PDSCH reception based on the default TCI state set or activated for the non-SBFD symbol.

[0181] However, in the above-described embodiments, it may be restricted that any one PDSCH transmission does not occur across different symbol types. That is, any one PDSCH transmission does not include both non-SBFD symbols and SBFD symbols. In this case, if any PDSCH symbol allocation information according to TDRA of DCI format includes both SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, the terminal may be enabled to receive only PDSCH transmissions corresponding to a specific symbol type. In this case, the specific symbol type for which the PDSCH reception is performed may be determined by the symbol type for which the PDCCH transmission including the DCI format is performed, or may be indicated through the DCI format, or may be determined by the symbol type of the first symbol from which the PDSCH transmission starts according to the TDRA. In this case, rate matching or puncturing may be applied to PDSCH resources belonging to a symbol section of a different type from the symbol type for which the PDSCH transmission is determined.

[0182] Alternatively, a PDSCH can be defined to support PDSCH transmissions that include different symbol types, i.e., both SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols. However, in this case, the terminal can support reception based on different spatial filters for each PDSCH time period in which transmission is performed through different symbol types in the PDSCH transmission, and for this purpose, the base station can be configured / indicated to set / indicate different TCI state indication information.

[0183] With respect to the above-described embodiments, each embodiment is included in the scope of the invention according to the present disclosure not only in an independent case but also in all cases in which the embodiments are combined.

[0184]

[0185]

[0186] *Hereinafter, the configuration of a terminal and a base station capable of performing some or all of the embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 1 through 11 will be described with reference to the drawings. The above description may be omitted to avoid redundant description, and in this case, the omitted content may be substantially identically applied to the description below, as long as it does not conflict with the technical spirit of the invention.

[0187] Fig. 12 is a drawing showing the configuration of a terminal (1200) according to another embodiment.

[0188] Referring to FIG. 12, a terminal (1200) according to another embodiment includes a transmitter (1220), a receiver (1230), and a control unit (1210) that controls the operations of the transmitter and receiver.

[0189] The control unit (1210) controls the overall operation of the terminal (1200) according to the method of transmitting and receiving downlink data in the wireless mobile communication system required to perform the present invention described above.

[0190] The control unit (1210) may receive SBFD configuration information including configuration information for at least one uplink subband and at least one downlink subband and configuration information for a subband-based full duplex (SBFD) symbol. The control unit (1210) may receive SBFD configuration information for performing communication in a full duplex mode. The control unit (1210) may receive information on a time domain and a frequency domain for configuring a downlink subband in an uplink slot or for configuring an uplink subband in a downlink slot. According to an example, the SBFD configuration information may include configuration information for at least one uplink subband and at least one downlink subband. In addition, the SBFD configuration information may include configuration information for an SBFD symbol in which an uplink subband and a downlink subband are configured in the frequency domain. Alternatively, the SBFD configuration information may include information on a frequency domain in which a guard band is configured and information on a time domain. Here, frequency resource information may include resource block allocation information, and time resource information may include SBFD symbol allocation information.

[0191] For example, SBFD configuration information may be received via cell-specific upper layer signaling. That is, the control unit (1210) may receive SBFD subband configuration information from the base station via cell-specific RRC signaling. The control unit (1210) may receive TDD configuration information and SBFD subband configuration information to configure a format for each slot.

[0192] The control unit (1210) can receive a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) including downlink control information for scheduling a PDSCH including downlink data information, and can receive the PDSCH based on the downlink control information. The control unit (1210) can receive downlink control information including PDSCH resource allocation information from a base station through the PDCCH, for example, DCI format 1_0, 1_1, 1_2, etc. Accordingly, the control unit (1210) can obtain time resource allocation information and frequency resource allocation information for PDSCH reception. In addition, QCL (Quasi-Colocation) information for PDSCH reception by a terminal can also be indicated through the downlink control information, or can be determined by QCL information of a PDCCH transmitting the corresponding downlink control information.

[0193] For this purpose, at least one Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state including QCL information can be configured through upper layer signaling, such as RRC signaling, such as PDSCH configuration information. Codepoint activation for one or more TCI states can be performed through MAC CE signaling for the configured TCI states. That is, each codepoint can be set to correspond to a TCI state to be activated. The codepoint for the activated TCI state is indicated through the TCI field of the downlink control information, and accordingly, the terminal can check the QCL information used for PDSCH reception.

[0194] If the time offset value between the symbol assigned to the PDCCH and the symbol assigned to the PDSCH is less than a predetermined time period, for example, a QCL application time period, the QCL information for receiving the corresponding PDSCH may be the TCI state of the CORESET where PDCCH reception was performed or the corresponding QCL information, rather than the QCL information indicated by the downlink control information. Here, the value of the QCL application time period may be the number of symbols corresponding to each SCS and may be reported to the base station through capability signaling of the terminal.

[0195] As described above, when full-duplex communication is applied to a terminal, the configuration of the antenna through which PDSCH transmission is performed at the base station may vary depending on whether the type of symbol through which PDSCH reception is performed is a non-SBFD symbol or an SBFD symbol. Accordingly, parameters for receiving beamforming for PDSCH reception at the terminal, i.e., adjusting the spatial RX filter, may vary. In particular, when PDCCH transmission and its corresponding PDSCH transmission are performed through different symbol types, as described above, when PDSCH reception is performed according to the QCL setting of the CORESET through which the PDCCH transmission is performed, appropriate reception performance may not be guaranteed. Therefore, in consideration of this, the present disclosure proposes a symbol allocation method for PDSCH transmission and a QCL information setting method.

[0196] In order to ensure reception performance in the SBFD system, at least one of the type of symbol used for reception of the PDSCH or QCL (Quasi-Colation) information may be configured based on the type of symbol used for reception of the PDCCH.

[0197] For example, the symbol used for receiving a PDSCH may be composed of a symbol of the same type as the symbol used for receiving a PDCCH among SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols. That is, the control unit (1210) may be configured not to expect that reception of a PDCCH including downlink control information and reception of a corresponding PDSCH are performed through different symbol types. Accordingly, the base station may also be configured not to perform transmission of a PDCCH transmitting downlink control information to a terminal and transmission of a corresponding PDSCH through different symbol types. That is, transmission of a PDSCH corresponding to downlink control information included in a PDCCH transmitted through a non-SBFD symbol may be configured to occur only through the same non-SBFD symbol. In addition, transmission of a PDSCH corresponding to downlink control information included in a PDCCH transmitted through an SBFD symbol may also be configured to occur only through an SBFD symbol.

[0198] For example, a symbol used for receiving a PDSCH may be configured with a symbol of the same type as the symbol used for receiving a PDCCH among SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, if the time offset between receiving a PDCCH and receiving a PDSCH is within a predetermined time period. That is, PDCCH reception and its corresponding PDSCH reception are configured to be performed through the same symbol type, but PDSCH resource allocation through a symbol type different from the PDCCH transmission symbol may be restricted only if the time offset between receiving a PDCCH and receiving a PDSCH is within a specific time period.

[0199] Conversely, for PDSCH transmissions that satisfy a time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH that is greater than or equal to a QCL application time period, the time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH may be configured to allow allocation of PDSCH transmission symbols of a different type from the PDCCH transmission symbols. Alternatively, the time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH for supporting PDSCH resource allocation through symbols of a different type from the PDCCH transmission / reception symbols may be fixed to a specific number of symbols according to the SCS, determined by the capability of the UE, or set as a separate value by the base station, and transmitted to the UE through UE-specific or cell-specific RRC signaling.

[0200] For example, the QCL information used for receiving a PDSCH may be configured or activated separately from the QCL information used for receiving a PDCCH when the symbols used for receiving a PDSCH and the symbols used for receiving a PDCCH are composed of different types of symbols. That is, the TCI state for an SBFD symbol and the TCI state for a non-SBFD symbol may be set or activated by pairing. For example, for a CORESET defined for a non-SBFD symbol, the base station may set one or more TCI states for PDCCH reception through the corresponding CORESET and activate one TCI state through MAC CE signaling. The control unit (1210) receives the PDCCH through the corresponding CORESET based on the QCL information based on the activated TCI state through the non-SBFD symbol. At this time, if the corresponding PDCCH includes PDSCH resource allocation information and the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is less than the QCL application time interval, the control unit (1210) can determine the QCL information for the corresponding PDSCH reception based on the QCL information according to the TCI state activated for PDCCH reception. At this time, if the TCI state for the corresponding non-SBFD symbol is set or one TCI state is activated through MAC CE signaling, the base station can set or activate a separate TCI state for SBFD to be applied when the PDSCH transmission corresponding to the PDCCH transmitted through the corresponding CORESET is performed in the SBFD symbol and the time offset between the corresponding PDCCH and the PDSCH is less than the QCL application time interval.

[0201] Conversely, for a CORESET defined for an SBFD symbol, the base station can set one or more TCI states for PDCCH reception through the CORESET and activate one TCI state through MAC CE signaling. The control unit (1210) receives a PDCCH through the CORESET based on QCL information based on the TCI state activated through the SBFD symbol. At this time, if the PDCCH includes PDSCH resource allocation information and the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time period, the control unit (1210) can determine QCL information for PDSCH reception based on the QCL information according to the TCI state activated for the PDCCH reception. At this time, when setting a TCI state for the corresponding SBFD symbol or activating one TCI state through MAC CE signaling, the base station can set or activate a separate TCI state for non-SBFD to be applied when a PDSCH transmission corresponding to a PDCCH transmitted through the corresponding CORESET is performed in a non-SBFD symbol and the time offset between the corresponding PDCCH and PDSCH is less than the QCL application time period.

[0202] In this way, when setting up a CORESET, if the time offset between the PDCCH transmitted through the CORESET and the corresponding PDSCH transmission is smaller than the QCL application time period and the types of the PDCCH transmission symbol and the PDSCH transmission symbol are different, a separate TCI state can be set or activated for determining the TCI state for applying the corresponding PDSCH reception QCL.

[0203] For example, the QCL information used for receiving PDSCH may be configured separately for SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols. That is, a default TCI state may be set or activated for each symbol type. For example, a separate default TCI state and corresponding QCL information for SBFD symbols may be set via RRC signaling. Alternatively, a default TCI state and corresponding QCL information for one or more SBFD symbols may be set via RRC signaling, and one of the set TCI states may be activated via MAC CE signaling.

[0204] In this case, the default TCI state is set or activated for each symbol type, or set or activated for each CORESET, so that the PDCCH transmitted through the CORESET and the corresponding PDSCH transmission are performed through different symbol types, and if the downlink control information of the corresponding PDCCH does not include a TCI field, or if the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time period, the reception QCL of the PDSCH can be determined by the default TCI for the corresponding PDSCH reception symbol or a different symbol type set as the CORESET target.

[0205] Accordingly, the control unit (1210) can receive downlink based on default TCI state information for SBFD symbols starting from the first SBFD symbol in which a transition from a non-SBFD symbol to an SBFD symbol occurs. For example, if downlink control information transmitted through a PDCCH of any non-SBFD symbol includes PDSCH resource allocation information in the SBFD symbol, and if the downlink control information does not include TCI state indication information or if the time offset between the PDCCH transmission and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time interval, the control unit (1210) can determine the QCL for receiving the PDSCH based on the default TCI state set or activated for the SBFD symbol. However, if the TCI state for the first SBFD symbol is indicated through downlink control information that satisfies the QCL application time interval, the terminal can receive downlink based on the QCL information of the TCI state indicated through the DCI format.

[0206] Conversely, the default TCI state for the existing non-SBFD symbol can also be set by the base station through RRC signaling or activated by MAC CE signaling. Accordingly, starting from the first symbol where a transition occurs from an SBFD symbol to a non-SBFD symbol, the QCL information for downlink reception of the terminal can be determined by the default TCI for the non-SBFD symbol. For example, if a PDCCH transmission based on CORESET is performed through an SBFD symbol and the downlink control information transmitted through the PDCCH includes PDSCH reception resource allocation information in the non-SBFD symbol but does not include TCI state indication information, or if the time offset between the PDCCH transmission and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time interval, the control unit (1210) can determine the QCL for the PDSCH reception based on the default TCI state set or activated for the non-SBFD symbol.

[0207] The control unit (1210) can receive a PDSCH using QCL information included in the determined TCI state.

[0208] Accordingly, a method and device for transmitting and receiving downlink data in an environment where full-duplex communication is applied can be provided.

[0209] Fig. 13 is a drawing showing the configuration of a base station (1300) according to another embodiment.

[0210] Referring to FIG. 13, a base station (1300) according to another embodiment includes a transmitter (1320), a receiver (1330), and a control unit (1310) that controls the operations of the transmitter and receiver.

[0211] The control unit (1310) controls the overall operation of the base station (1300) according to the method of transmitting and receiving downlink data in the wireless mobile communication system required to perform the aforementioned present invention. The transmitter (1320) transmits downlink control information, data, and messages to the terminal through the corresponding channel. The receiver (1330) receives uplink control information, data, and messages from the terminal through the corresponding channel.

[0212] The control unit (1310) may transmit SBFD configuration information including configuration information for at least one uplink subband and at least one downlink subband and configuration information for a subband full duplex (SBFD) symbol. The control unit (1310) may transmit SBFD configuration information for performing communication in a full duplex mode to a terminal. When a base station supports subband non-overlapping-based full duplex communication, specific frequency resources within the same symbol in a TDD carrier may be used for downlink transmission, and other frequency resources may be used for uplink reception. That is, within a TDD carrier, some frequency resources in any downlink symbol may be configured to be utilized for uplink transmission of a terminal, or to be utilized as flexible symbols for downlink / uplink transition.

[0213] A base station may configure a downlink subband in an uplink slot, or transmit information about a time domain and a frequency domain for configuring an uplink subband in a downlink slot. For example, the SBFD configuration information may include configuration information about at least one uplink subband and at least one downlink subband. In addition, the SBFD configuration information may include configuration information about an SBFD symbol in which an uplink subband and a downlink subband are configured in the frequency domain. Alternatively, the SBFD configuration information may include information about a frequency domain in which a guard band is configured and information about a time domain. Here, the frequency resource information may include resource block allocation information, and the time resource information may include SBFD symbol allocation information.

[0214] For example, SBFD configuration information may be transmitted via cell-specific upper layer signaling. That is, the control unit (1310) may transmit SBFD subband configuration information from the base station via cell-specific RRC signaling. The terminal may receive TDD configuration information and SBFD subband configuration information and configure a format for each slot.

[0215] The control unit (1310) transmits a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) including downlink control information for scheduling a PDSCH including downlink data information, and can transmit the PDSCH based on the downlink control information. The control unit (1310) can transmit downlink control information including PDSCH resource allocation information, for example, DCI format 1_0, 1_1, 1_2, etc., to the terminal through the PDCCH. Accordingly, the terminal can obtain time resource allocation information and frequency resource allocation information for PDSCH reception. In addition, QCL (Quasi-Colocation) information for PDSCH reception by the terminal can also be indicated through the downlink control information, or can be determined by QCL information of the PDCCH transmitting the corresponding downlink control information.

[0216] For this purpose, at least one Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state including QCL information can be configured through upper layer signaling, such as RRC signaling, such as PDSCH configuration information. Codepoint activation for one or more TCI states can be performed through MAC CE signaling for the configured TCI states. That is, each codepoint can be set to correspond to a TCI state to be activated. The codepoint for the activated TCI state is indicated through the TCI field of the downlink control information, and accordingly, the terminal can check the QCL information used for PDSCH reception.

[0217] If the time offset value between the symbol assigned to the PDCCH and the symbol assigned to the PDSCH is less than a predetermined time period, for example, a QCL application time period, the QCL information for receiving the corresponding PDSCH may be the TCI state of the CORESET where PDCCH reception was performed or the corresponding QCL information, rather than the QCL information indicated by the downlink control information. Here, the value of the QCL application time period may be the number of symbols corresponding to each SCS and may be reported to the base station through capability signaling of the terminal.

[0218] As described above, when full-duplex communication is applied to a terminal, the configuration of the antenna through which PDSCH transmission is performed at the base station may vary depending on whether the type of symbol through which PDSCH reception is performed is a non-SBFD symbol or an SBFD symbol. Accordingly, parameters for receiving beamforming for PDSCH reception at the terminal, i.e., adjusting the spatial RX filter, may vary. In particular, when PDCCH transmission and its corresponding PDSCH transmission are performed through different symbol types, as described above, when PDSCH reception is performed according to the QCL setting of the CORESET through which the PDCCH transmission is performed, appropriate reception performance may not be guaranteed. Therefore, in consideration of this, the present disclosure proposes a symbol allocation method for PDSCH transmission and a QCL information setting method.

[0219] In order to ensure reception performance in the SBFD system, at least one of the type of symbol used for reception of the PDSCH or QCL (Quasi-Colation) information may be configured based on the type of symbol used for reception of the PDCCH.

[0220] For example, the symbol used for receiving a PDSCH may be composed of a symbol of the same type as the symbol used for receiving a PDCCH among SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols. That is, the terminal may be configured not to expect that reception of a PDCCH including downlink control information and reception of a corresponding PDSCH are performed through different symbol types. Accordingly, the control unit (1310) may also be configured not to perform PDCCH transmission for transmitting downlink control information to the terminal and PDSCH transmission corresponding thereto through different symbol types. That is, PDSCH transmission corresponding to downlink control information included in a PDCCH transmitted through a non-SBFD symbol may be configured to be performed only through the same non-SBFD symbol. In addition, PDSCH transmission corresponding to downlink control information included in a PDCCH transmitted through an SBFD symbol may also be configured to be performed only through an SBFD symbol.

[0221] For example, a symbol used for receiving a PDSCH may be configured with a symbol of the same type as the symbol used for receiving a PDCCH among SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols, if the time offset between receiving a PDCCH and receiving a PDSCH is within a predetermined time period. That is, PDCCH reception and its corresponding PDSCH reception are configured to be performed through the same symbol type, but PDSCH resource allocation through a symbol type different from the PDCCH transmission symbol may be restricted only when the time offset between receiving a PDCCH and receiving a PDSCH is within a specific time period. For example, the restriction may be configured to apply only when the time offset between receiving a PDCCH and receiving a PDSCH is within the aforementioned QCL application time period. That is, it may be restricted so that PDCCH and PDSCH transmission through different symbol types are not expected between PDCCH transmission and its corresponding PDSCH transmission within the QCL application time period.

[0222] Conversely, for PDSCH transmissions that satisfy a time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH that is greater than or equal to a QCL application time period, the time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH may be configured to allow allocation of PDSCH transmission symbols of a different type from the PDCCH transmission symbols. Alternatively, the time offset value between PDCCH and PDSCH for supporting PDSCH resource allocation through symbols of a different type from the PDCCH transmission / reception symbols may be fixed to a specific number of symbols according to the SCS, determined by the capability of the UE, or set as a separate value by the base station, and transmitted to the UE through UE-specific or cell-specific RRC signaling.

[0223] For example, the QCL information used for receiving a PDSCH may be configured or activated separately from the QCL information used for receiving a PDCCH when the symbols used for receiving a PDSCH and the symbols used for receiving a PDCCH are composed of different types of symbols. That is, the TCI state for an SBFD symbol and the TCI state for a non-SBFD symbol may be set or activated by pairing. For example, for a CORESET defined for a non-SBFD symbol, the control unit (1310) may set one or more TCI states for PDCCH reception through the corresponding CORESET and activate one TCI state through MAC CE signaling. The control unit (1310) transmits a PDCCH through the corresponding CORESET based on the QCL information based on the activated TCI state through the non-SBFD symbol. At this time, if the corresponding PDCCH includes PDSCH resource allocation information and the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is less than the QCL application time interval, the terminal can determine the QCL information for the corresponding PDSCH reception based on the QCL information according to the TCI state activated for PDCCH reception. At this time, if the TCI state for the corresponding non-SBFD symbol is set or one TCI state is activated through MAC CE signaling, the control unit (1310) can set or activate a separate TCI state for SBFD to be applied when the PDSCH transmission corresponding to the PDCCH transmitted through the corresponding CORESET is performed in the SBFD symbol and the time offset between the corresponding PDCCH and the PDSCH is less than the QCL application time interval.

[0224] Conversely, for a CORESET defined as a target of an SBFD symbol, the control unit (1310) can set one or more TCI states for PDCCH reception through the corresponding CORESET and activate one TCI state through MAC CE signaling. The control unit (1310) transmits a PDCCH through the corresponding CORESET based on QCL information based on the TCI state activated through the SBFD symbol. At this time, if the corresponding PDCCH includes PDSCH resource allocation information and the time offset between the corresponding PDCCH and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time period, the terminal can determine QCL information for the corresponding PDSCH reception based on the QCL information according to the TCI state activated for the corresponding PDCCH reception. At this time, when setting a TCI state for the corresponding SBFD symbol or activating one TCI state through MAC CE signaling, the base station can set or activate a separate TCI state for non-SBFD to be applied when a PDSCH transmission corresponding to a PDCCH transmitted through the corresponding CORESET is performed in a non-SBFD symbol and the time offset between the corresponding PDCCH and PDSCH is less than the QCL application time period.

[0225] In this way, when setting up a CORESET, if the time offset between the PDCCH transmitted through the CORESET and the corresponding PDSCH transmission is smaller than the QCL application time period and the types of the PDCCH transmission symbol and the PDSCH transmission symbol are different, a separate TCI state can be set or activated for determining the TCI state for applying the corresponding PDSCH reception QCL.

[0226] For example, the QCL information used for receiving PDSCH may be configured separately for SBFD symbols and non-SBFD symbols. That is, a default TCI state may be set or activated for each symbol type. For example, a separate default TCI state and corresponding QCL information for SBFD symbols may be set via RRC signaling. Alternatively, a default TCI state and corresponding QCL information for one or more SBFD symbols may be set via RRC signaling, and one of the set TCI states may be activated via MAC CE signaling.

[0227] In this case, the default TCI state is set or activated for each symbol type, or set or activated for each CORESET, so that the PDCCH transmitted through the CORESET and the corresponding PDSCH transmission are performed through different symbol types, and if the downlink control information of the corresponding PDCCH does not include a TCI field, or if the time offset between the PDCCH and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time period, the reception QCL of the PDSCH can be determined by the default TCI for the corresponding PDSCH reception symbol or a different symbol type set as the CORESET target.

[0228] Accordingly, the control unit (1310) can transmit the downlink based on the default TCI state information for the SBFD symbol, starting from the first SBFD symbol in which a transition from a non-SBFD symbol to an SBFD symbol occurs. For example, if the downlink control information transmitted through the PDCCH of any non-SBFD symbol includes PDSCH resource allocation information in the SBFD symbol, and if the downlink control information does not include TCI state indication information or if the time offset between the PDCCH transmission and the PDSCH is smaller than the QCL application time interval, the terminal can determine the QCL for the PDSCH reception based on the default TCI state set or activated for the SBFD symbol. However, if the TCI state for the first SBFD symbol is indicated through the downlink control information that satisfies the QCL application time interval, the control unit (1310) can transmit the downlink based on the QCL information of the TCI state indicated through the DCI format.

[0229] Conversely, the default TCI state for the existing non-SBFD symbol can also be set by the base station through RRC signaling or activated by MAC CE signaling. Accordingly, starting from the first symbol where a transition occurs from an SBFD symbol to a non-SBFD symbol, the QCL information for downlink reception of the UE can be determined by the default TCI for the non-SBFD symbol. For example, if a PDCCH transmission based on CORESET is performed through an SBFD symbol and the downlink control information transmitted through the PDCCH includes PDSCH reception resource allocation information in the non-SBFD symbol but does not include TCI state indication information, or if the time offset between the PDCCH transmission and the PDSCH is less than the QCL application time interval, the UE can determine the QCL for the PDSCH reception based on the default TCI state set or activated for the non-SBFD symbol.

[0230] The control unit (1310) can transmit a PDSCH to the terminal using QCL information included in the determined TCI state.

[0231] Accordingly, a method and device for transmitting and receiving downlink data in an environment where full-duplex communication is applied can be provided.
