Description

Method and device for designing a HARQ-ACK codebook for simultaneous reception of multiple PDSCHs in a wireless communication system

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the operation of a terminal and a base station in a wireless communication system. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a method for transmitting HARQ-ACK, which indicates whether reception was successful when a terminal receives a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and a device capable of performing the method.

[0002] 5G mobile communication technology defines a wide frequency band to enable fast transmission speeds and new services, and can be implemented not only in the sub-6GHz frequency band such as 3.5 gigahertz (3.5GHz), but also in the ultra-high frequency band called millimeter wave (mmWave) such as 28GHz and 39GHz ('Above 6GHz'). In addition, for 6G mobile communication technology, which is called the system after 5G communication (Beyond 5G), implementation in the terahertz band (for example, the 3 terahertz (3THz) band at 95GHz) is being considered to achieve a transmission speed that is 50 times faster than 5G mobile communication technology and an ultra-low latency time that is reduced to one-tenth.

[0003] In the early stages of 5G mobile communication technology, the goal is to support services and satisfy performance requirements for enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC), and massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC). These include beamforming and massive MIMO to mitigate path loss of radio waves in ultra-high frequency bands and increase the transmission distance of radio waves, support for various numerologies (such as operation of multiple subcarrier intervals) and dynamic operation of slot formats for efficient use of ultra-high frequency resources, initial access technology to support multi-beam transmission and wideband, definition and operation of BWP (Bidth Part), new channel coding methods such as LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) codes for large-capacity data transmission and Polar Code for reliable transmission of control information, and L2 pre-processing (L2). Standardization has been made for network slicing, which provides dedicated networks specialized for specific services, and pre-processing.

[0004] Currently, discussions are underway to improve and enhance the initial 5G mobile communication technology in consideration of the services that 5G mobile communication technology was intended to support, and physical layer standardization is in progress for technologies such as V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) to help autonomous vehicles make driving decisions and increase user convenience based on their own location and status information transmitted by vehicles, NR-U (New Radio Unlicensed) for the purpose of system operation that complies with various regulatory requirements in unlicensed bands, NR terminal low power consumption technology (UE Power Saving), Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN), which is direct terminal-satellite communication to secure coverage in areas where communication with terrestrial networks is impossible, and Positioning.

[0005] In addition, standardization of radio interface architecture / protocols is in progress for technologies such as intelligent factories (Industrial Internet of Things, IoT) to support new services through linkage and convergence with other industries, Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB) that provides nodes for expanding network service areas by integrating wireless backhaul links and access links, Mobility Enhancement technology including Conditional Handover (CHO) and Dual Active Protocol Stack (DAPS) handover, and 2-step random access (2-step RACH for NR) that simplifies random access procedures. Standardization is also in progress for system architecture / services such as 5G baseline architecture (e.g., Service-based Architecture, Service-based Interface) for grafting Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) technologies, and Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) that provides services based on the location of the terminal.

[0006] Once these 5G mobile communication systems are commercialized, an explosive increase in connected devices will be connected to the communication network, necessitating enhanced functionality and performance of 5G mobile communication systems and integrated operation of these connected devices. To this end, new research will be conducted on improving 5G performance and reducing complexity, supporting AI services, supporting metaverse services, and drone communications by utilizing eXtended Reality (XR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Machine Learning (ML) to efficiently support Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR).

[0007] In addition, the development of these 5G mobile communication systems includes new waveforms to ensure coverage in the terahertz band of 6G mobile communication technology, multi-antenna transmission technologies such as Full Dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), Array Antenna, and Large Scale Antenna, metamaterial-based lenses and antennas to improve the coverage of terahertz band signals, high-dimensional spatial multiplexing technology using Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM), Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) technology, as well as full duplex technology to improve the frequency efficiency and system network of 6G mobile communication technology, satellite, AI (Artificial Intelligence) from the design stage and AI-based communication technology that realizes system optimization by internalizing end-to-end AI support functions, and ultra-high-performance communication and computing resources to provide services with complexity that exceeds the limits of terminal computing capabilities. It can serve as a basis for the development of next-generation distributed computing technologies that can be realized by utilizing them.

[0008] As described above and with the development of mobile communication systems, various services have become available, and methods for providing these services effectively are required.

[0040] To meet the increasing demand for wireless data traffic since the commercialization of 4G communication systems, efforts are being made to develop improved 5G communication systems, or pre-5G communication systems. For this reason, 5G communication systems, or pre-5G communication systems, are also called beyond 4G networks or post-LTE systems. To achieve high data rates, 5G communication systems are being considered for implementation in ultra-high frequency (mmWave) bands (e.g., 60 GHz bands). To mitigate radio path loss and increase the transmission range of radio waves in ultra-high frequency bands, beamforming, massive MIMO, full-dimensional MIMO (FD-MIMO), array antennas, analog beamforming, and large-scale antenna technologies are being discussed in 5G communication systems. In addition, to improve the network of the system, technologies such as evolved small cells, advanced small cells, cloud radio access networks (cloud RAN), ultra-dense networks, device-to-device communication (D2D), wireless backhaul, moving networks, cooperative communication, CoMP (Coordinated Multi-Points), and interference cancellation are being developed in 5G communication systems.In addition, advanced coding modulation (ACM) methods such as FQAM (Hybrid FSK and QAM Modulation) and SWSC (Sliding Window Superposition Coding), as well as advanced access technologies such as FBMC (Filter Bank Multi Carrier), NOMA (non-orthogonal multiple access), and SCMA (sparse code multiple access) are being developed in 5G systems.

[0041] Meanwhile, the Internet is evolving from a human-centric network where humans create and consume information to an Internet of Things (IoT) network where information is exchanged and processed between distributed components, such as objects. The Internet of Everything (IoE) is also emerging, combining IoT technologies with big data processing technologies, such as those connected to cloud servers. To implement the IoT, technological elements such as sensing technologies, wired and wireless communication and network infrastructure, service interface technologies, and security technologies are required. Recently, research is being conducted on technologies such as sensor networks, Machine-to-Machine (M2M), and Machine-Type Communication (MTC) for connecting objects. In the IoT environment, intelligent IT (Internet Technology) services can be provided that collect and analyze data generated from connected objects to create new value for human life. IoT can be applied to areas such as smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart or connected cars, smart grids, healthcare, smart appliances, and advanced medical services through the convergence and integration of existing IT (information technology) technologies with various industries.

[0042] Accordingly, various attempts are being made to apply 5G communication systems (also known as New Radio (NR)) to IoT networks. For example, technologies such as sensor networks, machine-to-machine (M2M), and machine-type communication (MTC) are being implemented using 5G communication techniques such as beamforming, MIMO, and array antennas. The application of cloud RAN, a big data processing technology described above, can also be considered an example of the convergence of 3eG and IoT technologies.

[0043] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0044] In describing the embodiments, descriptions of technical details that are well known in the technical field to which the present disclosure pertains and are not directly related to the present disclosure will be omitted. This is to avoid obscuring the gist of the present disclosure by omitting unnecessary explanations and to convey the gist more clearly.

[0045] For the same reason, some components in the attached drawings are exaggerated, omitted, or schematically depicted. Furthermore, the dimensions of each component do not entirely reflect its actual size. Identical or corresponding components in each drawing are assigned the same reference numbers.

[0046] The advantages and features of the present disclosure, and methods for achieving them, will become clearer with reference to the embodiments described below in detail together with the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below and may be implemented in various different forms. These embodiments are provided only to ensure that the disclosure of the present disclosure is complete and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the disclosure, and the present disclosure is defined only by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification. In addition, when describing the present disclosure, if a specific description of a related function or configuration is determined to unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present disclosure, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the terms described below are terms defined in consideration of the functions of the present disclosure, and may vary depending on the intention or custom of the user or operator. Therefore, their definitions should be made based on the contents throughout the specification.

[0047] Hereinafter, the base station is an entity that performs resource allocation of a terminal, and may be at least one of a gNode B, an eNode B, a Node B, a BS (Base Station), a wireless access unit, a base station controller, or a node on a network. The terminal may include a UE (User Equipment), an MS (Mobile Station), a cellular phone, a smartphone, a computer, or a multimedia system capable of performing a communication function. In the present disclosure, downlink (DL) refers to a wireless transmission path of a signal transmitted from a base station to a terminal, and uplink (UL) refers to a wireless transmission path of a signal transmitted from a terminal to a base station. In addition, although LTE (Long-Term Evolution), LTE-A (LTE-Advanced) or a 5G system may be described as an example below, embodiments of the present disclosure may also be applied to other communication systems having a similar technical background or channel type. For example, this may include the 5th generation mobile communication technology (5G, new radio, NR) developed after LTE-A, and the 5G below may also be a concept that includes existing LTE, LTE-A, and other similar services. Furthermore, the present disclosure may be applied to other communication systems with some modifications within the scope of the present disclosure, as determined by a person skilled in the art. The contents of the present disclosure are applicable to FDD and TDD systems.

[0048] At this time, it will be understood that each block of the processing flowchart drawings and combinations of the flowchart drawings can be performed by computer program instructions. These computer program instructions can be installed in a processor of a general-purpose computer, a special-purpose computer, or other programmable data processing equipment, so that the instructions executed by the processor of the computer or other programmable data processing equipment create a means for performing the functions described in the flowchart block(s). These computer program instructions can also be stored in a computer-available or computer-readable memory that can direct a computer or other programmable data processing equipment to implement the functions in a specific manner, so that the instructions stored in the computer-available or computer-readable memory can also produce a manufactured item that includes an instruction means for performing the functions described in the flowchart block(s). Since the computer program instructions may be installed on a computer or other programmable data processing device, a series of operational steps may be performed on the computer or other programmable data processing device to create a computer-executable process, and the instructions that cause the computer or other programmable data processing device to perform the steps for performing the functions described in the flowchart block(s) may also provide steps for performing the functions described in the flowchart block(s).

[0049] Additionally, each block may represent a module, segment, or portion of code that contains one or more executable instructions for performing a specific logical function(s). It should also be noted that in some alternative implementation examples, the functions described in the blocks may occur out of order. For example, two blocks depicted in succession may actually be executed substantially concurrently, or the blocks may sometimes be executed in reverse order, depending on their respective functions.

[0050] Here, the term '~ unit' used in the present embodiment means software or hardware components such as FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) or ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), and the '~ unit' performs certain roles. However, the '~ unit' is not limited to software or hardware. The '~ unit' may be configured to be on an addressable storage medium and may be configured to play one or more processors. Therefore, as an example, the '~ unit' includes components such as software components, object-oriented software components, class components, and task components, processes, functions, properties, procedures, subroutines, segments of program code, drivers, firmware, microcode, circuits, data, databases, data structures, tables, arrays, and variables. The functions provided within the components and '~ units' may be combined into a smaller number of components and '~ units' or further separated into additional components and '~ units'. In addition, the components and '~parts' may be implemented to play one or more central processing units (CPUs) within the device or secure multimedia card. In addition, in the embodiment, the '~part' may include one or more processors.

[0051] Wireless communication systems are evolving from providing voice-oriented services in the early days to broadband wireless communication systems that provide high-speed, high-quality packet data services, such as communication standards such as 3GPP's HSPA (High Speed ​​Packet Access), LTE (Long Term Evolution or E-UTRA (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access)), LTE-Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-Pro, 3GPP2's HRPD (High Rate Packet Data), UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband), and IEEE's 802.16e.

[0052] As a representative example of the above broadband wireless communication system, the LTE system adopts the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) method in the downlink (DL) and the Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) method in the uplink (UL). The uplink refers to a wireless link in which a terminal (User Equipment (UE) or Mobile Station (MS)) transmits data or control signals to a base station (eNode B, gNode B, or base station (BS)), and the downlink refers to a wireless link in which a base station transmits data or control signals to a terminal. The above multiple access method can distinguish the data or control information of each user by allocating and operating the time-frequency resources for transmitting data or control information to each user so that they do not overlap, that is, so as to achieve orthogonality.

[0053] As the future communications system beyond LTE, 5G communication systems must be able to freely reflect the diverse needs of users and service providers. Therefore, they must support services that simultaneously satisfy these diverse requirements. Services being considered for 5G communication systems include enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC), and Ultra Reliability Low Latency Communication (URLLC).

[0054] eMBB aims to provide data transmission rates that are significantly higher than those supported by existing LTE, LTE-A, or LTE-Pro. For example, in a 5G communication system, eMBB must be able to support a peak data rate of 20 Gbps in the downlink and a peak data rate of 10 Gbps in the uplink from a single base station. Furthermore, 5G communication systems must simultaneously provide the peak data rate and an increased user-perceived data rate for terminals. To meet these requirements, improvements in various transmission and reception technologies, including improved multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) transmission technology, are required. Furthermore, while LTE transmits signals using a maximum 20 MHz transmission bandwidth in the 2 GHz band, 5G communication systems can meet the data transmission rates required by 5G communication systems by utilizing a wider frequency bandwidth than 20 MHz in the 3-6 GHz or higher 6 GHz bands.

[0055] At the same time, mMTC is being considered to support application services such as the Internet of Things (IoT) in 5G communication systems. To efficiently provide the IoT, mMTC requires supporting large-scale terminal connections within a cell, improved terminal coverage, enhanced battery life, and reduced terminal costs. The IoT requires the ability to support a large number of terminals (e.g., 1,000,000 terminals / km^2) within a cell, as it provides communication capabilities through the attachment of various sensors and devices. Furthermore, due to the nature of the service, terminals supporting mMTC are likely to be located in shadow areas not covered by cells, such as basements, and thus may require wider coverage than other services provided by 5G communication systems. Terminals supporting mMTC must be inexpensive, and since frequent battery replacement is unlikely, they may require extremely long battery lifespans, such as 10 to 15 years.

[0056] Finally, URLLC refers to cellular-based wireless communication services used for specific mission-critical purposes. Examples include remote control of robots or machinery, industrial automation, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), remote health care, and emergency alerts. Therefore, URLLC communications must offer extremely low latency and high reliability. For example, URLLC-enabled services must meet air interface latency requirements of less than 0.5 milliseconds and a packet error rate (PER) of less than 10^-5. Therefore, for services supporting URLLC, 5G systems must provide shorter transmission time intervals (TTIs) than other services, and design considerations may require the allocation of extensive resources in the frequency band to ensure communication link reliability.

[0057] The three 5G services—eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC—can be multiplexed and transmitted within a single system. To meet the differing requirements of each service, different transmission and reception techniques and parameters can be used. Of course, 5G is not limited to the three services described above.

[0058] [NR time-frequency resources]

[0059] Below, the frame structure of the 5G system is described in more detail with reference to drawings.

[0060] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the basic structure of a time-frequency domain, which is a wireless resource domain in which data or control channels are transmitted, in a 5G system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0061] The horizontal axis of Figure 1 represents the time domain, and the vertical axis represents the frequency domain. The basic unit of resources in the time and frequency domains is a resource element (RE, 101), which can be defined as 1 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol (102) on the time axis and 1 subcarrier (103) on the frequency axis. In the frequency domain (For example, 12) consecutive REs can form one resource block (RB, 104).

[0062] FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a frame, subframe, and slot structure in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0063] Figure 2 illustrates an example of a structure of a frame (Frame, 200), a subframe (Subframe, 201), and a slot (Slot, 202). One frame (200) can be defined as 10 ms. One subframe (201) can be defined as 1 ms, and therefore one frame (200) can be composed of a total of 10 subframes (201). One slot (202, 203) can be defined as 14 OFDM symbols (i.e., the number of symbols per slot ( )=14). 1 subframe (201) may be composed of one or more slots (202, 203), and the number of slots (202, 203) per 1 subframe (201) may vary depending on the setting value μ (204, 205) for the subcarrier spacing. In an example of FIG. 2, the cases where μ = 0 (204) and μ = 1 (205) as the subcarrier spacing setting value are illustrated. When μ = 0 (204), 1 subframe (201) may be composed of 1 slot (202), and when μ = 1 (205), 1 subframe (201) may be composed of 2 slots (203). That is, the number of slots per 1 subframe ( ) may vary, and accordingly the number of slots per frame ( ) may vary. Depending on the subcarrier spacing setting μ and can be defined as shown in Table 1 below.

[0064] [Table 1]

[0065]

[0066] Next, the bandwidth part (BWP) setting in the 5G communication system will be explained in detail with reference to the drawing.

[0067] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of bandwidth portion settings in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0068] Figure 3 shows an example in which the UE bandwidth (300) is set to two bandwidth portions, namely, bandwidth portion #1 (BWP#1) (301) and bandwidth portion #2 (BWP#2) (302). The base station can set one or more bandwidth portions to the UE, and can set information such as Table 2 below for each bandwidth portion.

[0069]

[0070] Of course, the above example is not limited, and in addition to the above configuration information, various parameters related to the bandwidth portion can be configured for the terminal. The above information can be transmitted from the base station to the terminal via upper layer signaling, for example, RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling. At least one bandwidth portion among the configured one or more bandwidth portions can be activated. Whether or not the configured bandwidth portion is activated can be semi-statically transmitted from the base station to the terminal via RRC signaling or dynamically transmitted via DCI (Downlink Control Information).

[0071] According to some embodiments, a terminal before RRC (Radio Resource Control) connection can receive configuration information for an initial bandwidth portion (Initial BWP) for initial access from a base station through a Master Information Block (MIB). More specifically, during the initial access phase, the terminal can receive configuration information for a control region (Control Resource Set, CORESET) and a search space, through the MIB, where a PDCCH for receiving system information required for initial access (which may correspond to Remaining System Information (RMSI) or System Information Block 1 (SIB1)) can be transmitted. The control region and search space configured by the MIB may each be regarded as identifier (ID) 0. The base station can notify the terminal of configuration information such as frequency allocation information, time allocation information, and numerology for control region #0 through the MIB. In addition, the base station can notify the terminal of configuration information for a monitoring cycle and occasion for control region #0, i.e., configuration information for search space #0, through the MIB. The terminal may consider the frequency range set as control area #0 obtained from the MIB as the initial bandwidth portion for initial connection. At this time, the identifier (ID) of the initial bandwidth portion may be considered as 0.

[0072] The bandwidth settings supported by 5G systems can be used for various purposes.

[0073] In one embodiment, when the bandwidth supported by a terminal is smaller than the system bandwidth, this can be supported through bandwidth portion settings. For example, the base station can set the bandwidth portion frequency location (setting information 2) for the terminal, thereby allowing the terminal to transmit and receive data at a specific frequency location within the system bandwidth.

[0074] Additionally, in some embodiments, a base station may configure multiple bandwidth segments for a terminal to support different numerologies. For example, to support data transmission and reception using both 15 kHz and 30 kHz subcarrier spacing for a given terminal, the base station may configure two bandwidth segments with subcarrier spacings of 15 kHz and 30 kHz, respectively. The different bandwidth segments may be frequency division multiplexed, and when data is to be transmitted and received using a specific subcarrier spacing, the bandwidth segment configured for that subcarrier spacing may be activated.

[0075] Furthermore, according to one embodiment, for the purpose of reducing power consumption of the terminal, the base station can set bandwidth portions with different bandwidth sizes for the terminal. For example, if the terminal supports a very large bandwidth, such as 100 MHz, and constantly transmits and receives data using that bandwidth, very large power consumption may occur. In particular, monitoring unnecessary downlink control channels using a large bandwidth of 100 MHz in a situation where there is no traffic can be very inefficient in terms of power consumption. To reduce power consumption of the terminal, the base station can set a bandwidth portion with a relatively small bandwidth, such as 20 MHz, for the terminal. In a situation where there is no traffic, the terminal can perform monitoring operations in the 20 MHz bandwidth portion, and when data is generated, it can transmit and receive data using the 100 MHz bandwidth portion according to the instructions of the base station.

[0076] In the method of configuring the bandwidth part, terminals before RRC connection (Connected) can receive configuration information for the initial bandwidth part through the MIB (Master Information Block) during the initial access stage. More specifically, the terminal can configure a control region (Control Resource Set, CORESET) for a downlink control channel on which DCI (Downlink Control Information) that schedules a SIB (System Information Block) can be transmitted from the MIB of the PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel). The bandwidth of the control region configured by the MIB can be regarded as the initial bandwidth part, and the terminal can receive the PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) on which the SIB is transmitted through the configured initial bandwidth part. In addition to the purpose of receiving the SIB, the initial bandwidth part can also be utilized for other system information (Other System Information, OSI), paging, and random access.

[0077] [Bandwidth Part (BWP) Change]

[0078] When one or more bandwidth parts are set for a terminal, the base station can instruct the terminal to change (or switch, transition) the bandwidth part using the bandwidth part indicator field in the DCI. For example, in FIG. 3, when the currently activated bandwidth part of the terminal is bandwidth part #1 (301), the base station can instruct the terminal to bandwidth part #2 (302) using the bandwidth part indicator in the DCI, and the terminal can perform a bandwidth part change to bandwidth part #2 (302) indicated by the bandwidth part indicator in the received DCI.

[0079] As mentioned above, since DCI-based bandwidth part changes can be indicated by the DCI scheduling the PDSCH or PUSCH, when a UE receives a bandwidth part change request, it must be able to seamlessly receive or transmit the PDSCH or PUSCH scheduled by the corresponding DCI in the changed bandwidth part. To this end, the standard stipulates requirements for the delay time (TBWP) required when changing the bandwidth part, which can be defined, for example, as shown in Table 3.

[0080] [Table 3]

[0081]

[0082] The bandwidth-partial change delay time requirement supports Type 1 or Type 2 depending on the terminal's capability. The terminal can report the supported bandwidth-partial delay time type to the base station.

[0083] According to the requirement for bandwidth part change delay time mentioned above, when the terminal receives DCI including bandwidth part change indicator in slot n, the terminal changes to the new bandwidth part indicated by the bandwidth part change indicator in slot n+T. BWP It can be completed at a later time, and transmission and reception for the data channel scheduled by the DCI can be performed in the new bandwidth portion that has been changed. If the base station wants to schedule a data channel in the new bandwidth portion, the terminal's bandwidth portion change delay time (T BWP ), time domain resource allocation for the data channel can be determined. That is, when the base station schedules a data channel with a new bandwidth portion, the data channel can be scheduled after the bandwidth portion change delay time in the method of determining time domain resource allocation for the data channel. Accordingly, the terminal can determine whether the DCI instructing a bandwidth portion change is equal to the bandwidth portion change delay time (T BWP) may not be expected to indicate a slot offset (K0 or K2) value smaller than that.

[0084] If the terminal receives DCI (e.g., DCI format 1_1 or 0_1) indicating a bandwidth change, the terminal may not perform any transmission or reception during the time period from the third symbol of the slot in which the PDCCH including the DCI is received to the start of the slot indicated by the slot offset (K0 or K2) value indicated by the time domain resource allocation indicator field in the DCI. For example, if the terminal receives DCI indicating a bandwidth change in slot n and the slot offset value indicated by the DCI is K, the terminal may not perform any transmission or reception from the third symbol of slot n to the symbol before slot n+K (i.e., the last symbol of slot n+K-1).

[0085] [SS / PBCH block]

[0086] Next, we will explain the SS (Synchronization Signal) / PBCH block in the 5G system.

[0087] An SS / PBCH block may refer to a physical layer channel block consisting of a PSS (Primary SS), SSS (Secondary SS), and PBCH. Specifically, it is as follows.

[0088] - PSS: A signal that serves as a reference for downlink time / frequency synchronization and provides some information about the cell ID.

[0089] - SSS: It serves as a reference for downlink time / frequency synchronization and provides the remaining cell ID information not provided by PSS. Additionally, it can serve as a reference signal for PBCH demodulation.

[0090] - PBCH: Provides essential system information required for the terminal's data channel and control channel transmission and reception. Essential system information may include search space-related control information indicating radio resource mapping information for the control channel, and scheduling control information for a separate data channel that transmits system information.

[0091] - SS / PBCH Block: An SS / PBCH block is composed of a combination of PSS, SSS, and PBCH. One or more SS / PBCH blocks can be transmitted within a 5ms period, and each transmitted SS / PBCH block can be distinguished by an index.

[0092] The terminal can detect PSS and SSS in the initial access stage, and decode PBCH. The terminal can obtain MIB from PBCH, and can set control region (Control Resource Set; CORESET) #0 (which may correspond to a control region with a control region index of 0) therefrom. The terminal can monitor control region #0, assuming that the selected SS / PBCH block and the DMRS (Demodulation Reference Signal) transmitted in control region #0 are QCL (Quasi Co Location). The terminal can receive system information through downlink control information transmitted in control region #0. The terminal can obtain RACH (Random Access Channel) related configuration information required for initial access from the received system information. The terminal can transmit PRACH (Physical RACH) to the base station considering the selected SS / PBCH index, and the base station receiving the PRACH can obtain information on the SS / PBCH block index selected by the terminal. The base station can know that the terminal has selected a block among each SS / PBCH block and monitors the control region #0 associated with it.

[0093] [PDCCH: DCI related]

[0094] Next, we will specifically explain downlink control information (DCI) in the 5G system.

[0095] In a 5G system, scheduling information for uplink data (or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH)) or downlink data (or physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)) is transmitted from a base station to a terminal via DCI. The terminal can monitor a DCI format for fallback and a DCI format for non-fallback for the PUSCH or PDSCH. The fallback DCI format can be composed of fixed fields defined between the base station and the terminal, and the non-fallback DCI format can include configurable fields.

[0096] DCI can be transmitted through the Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) after going through the channel coding and modulation process. A Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is attached to the DCI message payload, and the CRC can be scrambled with a Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) corresponding to the identity of the UE. Different RNTIs can be used depending on the purpose of the DCI message, such as UE-specific data transmission, power control command, or random access response. That is, the RNTI is not transmitted explicitly, but is included in the CRC calculation process. When the UE receives a DCI message transmitted on the PDCCH, it verifies the CRC using the assigned RNTI. If the CRC verification result is correct, the UE can determine that the message was transmitted to the UE.

[0097] For example, a DCI scheduling a PDSCH for System Information (SI) may be scrambled with SI-RNTI. A DCI scheduling a PDSCH for a Random Access Response (RAR) message may be scrambled with RA-RNTI. A DCI scheduling a PDSCH for a Paging message may be scrambled with P-RNTI. A DCI notifying a Slot Format Indicator (SFI) may be scrambled with SFI-RNTI. A DCI notifying a Transmit Power Control (TPC) may be scrambled with TPC-RNTI. A DCI scheduling a UE-specific PDSCH or PUSCH may be scrambled with C-RNTI (Cell RNTI).

[0098] DCI format 0_0 can be used as a fallback DCI for scheduling PUSCH, in which case the CRC can be scrambled with C-RNTI. DCI format 0_0 with the CRC scrambled with C-RNTI can include, for example, the information in Table 4.

[0099] [Table 4]

[0100]

[0101] DCI format 0_1 ​​can be used as a fallback DCI for scheduling PUSCH, in which case the CRC can be scrambled with C-RNTI. DCI format 0_1 ​​with the CRC scrambled with C-RNTI can include, for example, the information in Table 5.

[0102] [Table 5]

[0103]

[0104]

[0105] DCI format 1_0 can be used as a fallback DCI for scheduling PDSCH, in which case the CRC can be scrambled with C-RNTI. DCI format 1_0 with the CRC scrambled with C-RNTI can include, for example, the information in Table 6.

[0106] [Table 6]

[0107]

[0108] DCI format 1_1 can be used as a fallback DCI for scheduling PDSCH, in which case the CRC can be scrambled with C-RNTI. DCI format 1_1 with the CRC scrambled with C-RNTI can include, for example, the information in Table 7.

[0109] [Table 7]

[0110]

[0111] [PDCCH: CORESET, REG, CCE, Search Space]

[0112] Below, the downlink control channel in a 5G communication system will be described in more detail with reference to drawings.

[0113] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of setting a control region of a downlink control channel in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a control region (Control Resource Set, CORESET) in which a downlink control channel is transmitted in a 5G wireless communication system. FIG. 4 illustrates an example in which two control regions (Control Region #1 (401), Control Region #2 (402)) are set within a UE bandwidth part (410) in the frequency axis and one slot (420) in the time axis. The control regions (401, 402) may be set to specific frequency resources (403) within the entire UE bandwidth part (410) in the frequency axis. The control regions (401, 402) may be set to one or more OFDM symbols in the time axis, and this may be defined as a control region length (Control Resource Set Duration, 404). Referring to the illustrated example of FIG. 4, control area #1 (401) is set to a control area length of 2 symbols, and control area #2 (402) is set to a control area length of 1 symbol.

[0114] In the aforementioned 5G system, the control region can be established by the base station to the terminal through higher-layer signaling (e.g., system information, Master Information Block (MIB), Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling). The base station establishing a control region for the terminal means that the base station provides the terminal with information such as the control region identifier (Identity), the frequency location of the control region, and the symbol length of the control region. For example, this information may include the information in Table 8.

[0115] [Table 8]

[0116]

[0117] In Table 8, the tci-StatesPDCCH (simply named TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication) state) configuration information may include information on one or more SS (Synchronization Signal) / PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel) block indices or CSI-RS (Channel State Information Reference Signal) indices that are in a QCL (Quasi Co Located) relationship with the DMRS transmitted in the corresponding control region.

[0118] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating the structure of a downlink control channel in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0119] Fig. 5 shows an example of a basic unit of time and frequency resources that constitute a downlink control channel that can be used in a 5G system. According to Fig. 5, the basic unit of time and frequency resources that constitute a control channel can be referred to as a REG (Resource Element Group, 503), and a REG (503) can be defined as 1 OFDM symbol (501) on the time axis and 1 PRB (Physical Resource Block, 502) on the frequency axis, i.e., 12 subcarriers. A base station can concatenate REGs (503) to constitute a downlink control channel allocation unit.

[0120] As illustrated in FIG. 5, if the basic unit to which a downlink control channel is allocated in a 5G system is called a CCE (Control Channel Element, 504), 1 CCE (504) can be composed of multiple REGs (503). Taking the REG (503) illustrated in FIG. 5 as an example, the REG (503) can be composed of 12 REs, and if 1 CCE (504) is composed of 6 REGs (503), 1 CCE (504) can be composed of 72 REs. When a downlink control region is set, the region can be composed of multiple CCEs (504), and a specific downlink control channel can be mapped to one or multiple CCEs (504) and transmitted according to the aggregation level (AL) within the control region. CCEs (504) within the control area are distinguished by numbers, and the numbers of the CCEs (504) can be assigned according to a logical mapping method.

[0121] The basic unit of the downlink control channel illustrated in FIG. 5, that is, the REG (503), may include both the REs to which the DCI is mapped and the areas to which the DMRS (505), which is a reference signal for decoding the REs, is mapped. As shown in FIG. 5, three DMRSs (505) may be transmitted within one REG (503). The number of CCEs required to transmit the PDCCH may be 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 depending on the aggregation level (AL), and different numbers of CCEs may be used to implement link adaptation of the downlink control channel. For example, when AL = L, one downlink control channel may be transmitted through L CCEs. The terminal must detect a signal without knowing information about the downlink control channel, and a search space representing a set of CCEs is defined for blind decoding. A search space is a set of downlink control channel candidates (CCEs) that a terminal must attempt to decode at a given aggregation level. Since there are multiple aggregation levels, each of which can be a set of 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 CCEs, a terminal can have multiple search spaces. A search space set can be defined as the set of search spaces at all configured aggregation levels.

[0122] Search spaces can be categorized into common search spaces and UE-specific search spaces. A certain group of UEs, or all UEs, can search the common search space of the PDCCH to receive cell-common control information, such as dynamic scheduling of system information or paging messages. For example, PDSCH scheduling allocation information for transmitting SIBs, including cell operator information, can be received by searching the common search space of the PDCCH. In the case of the common search space, since a certain group of UEs, or all UEs, must receive the PDCCH, it can be defined as a set of pre-arranged CCEs. Scheduling allocation information for UE-specific PDSCH or PUSCH can be received by searching the UE-specific search space of the PDCCH. The UE-specific search space can be defined UE-specifically as a function of the UE's identity and various system parameters.

[0123] In a 5G system, parameters for a search space for PDCCH can be configured from a base station to a terminal via higher layer signaling (e.g., SIB, MIB, RRC signaling). For example, the base station can configure the number of PDCCH candidates at each aggregation level L, the monitoring period for the search space, the monitoring occasion for each symbol within the slot for the search space, the search space type (common search space or terminal-specific search space), the combination of DCI format and RNTI to be monitored in the corresponding search space, the control region index to be monitored for the search space, etc. to the terminal. For example, the parameters for a search space for PDCCH can include the information in Table 9.

[0124] [Table 9]

[0125]

[0126] Depending on the configuration information, the base station may configure one or more search space sets for the terminal. In some embodiments, the base station may configure search space set 1 and search space set 2 for the terminal, and configure the terminal to monitor DCI format A scrambled with X-RNTI in search space set 1 in a common search space, and configure the terminal to monitor DCI format B scrambled with Y-RNTI in search space set 2 in a terminal-specific search space.

[0127] According to the configuration information, one or more search space sets may exist in a common search space or a terminal-specific search space. For example, search space set #1 and search space set #2 may be configured as a common search space, and search space set #3 and search space set #4 may be configured as terminal-specific search spaces.

[0128] In the common search space, the following combinations of DCI formats and RNTIs can be monitored. Of course, the examples below are not limited to these.

[0129] - DCI format 0_0 / 1_0 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, SP-CSI-RNTI, RA-RNTI, TC-RNTI, P-RNTI, SI-RNTI

[0130] - DCI format 2_0 with CRC scrambled by SFI-RNTI

[0131] - DCI format 2_1 with CRC scrambled by INT-RNTI

[0132] - DCI format 2_2 with CRC scrambled by TPC-PUSCH-RNTI, TPC-PUCCH-RNTI

[0133] - DCI format 2_3 with CRC scrambled by TPC-SRS-RNTI

[0134] In a terminal-specific search space, the following combinations of DCI formats and RNTIs can be monitored. Of course, the examples below are not limited to these examples.

[0135] - DCI format 0_0 / 1_0 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, TC-RNTI

[0136] - DCI format 1_0 / 1_1 with CRC scrambled by C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, TC-RNTI

[0137] The RNTIs specified may follow the definitions and uses below.

[0138] C-RNTI (Cell RNTI): For terminal-specific PDSCH scheduling purposes

[0139] TC-RNTI (Temporary Cell RNTI): For terminal-specific PDSCH scheduling purposes

[0140] CS-RNTI (Configured Scheduling RNTI): Used for terminal-specific PDSCH scheduling that is set semi-statically.

[0141] RA-RNTI (Random Access RNTI): Used for PDSCH scheduling in the random access phase.

[0142] P-RNTI (Paging RNTI): Used for scheduling PDSCH where paging is transmitted.

[0143] SI-RNTI (System Information RNTI): Used for scheduling PDSCH where system information is transmitted.

[0144] INT-RNTI (Interruption RNTI): Used to indicate whether pucturing is in progress for PDSCH.

[0145] TPC-PUSCH-RNTI (Transmit Power Control for PUSCH RNTI): Used to indicate power control commands for PUSCH.

[0146] TPC-PUCCH-RNTI (Transmit Power Control for PUCCH RNTI): Used to indicate power control commands for PUCCH.

[0147] TPC-SRS-RNTI (Transmit Power Control for SRS RNTI): Used to indicate power control commands for SRS.

[0148] The aforementioned specified DCI formats may follow definitions such as the examples in Table 10.

[0149] [Table 10]

[0150]

[0151] In a 5G system, the search space of aggregation level L in a control region p and a search space set s can be expressed as in the following mathematical expression 1.

[0152] [Mathematical Formula 1]

[0153]

[0154] In a 5G system, since multiple search space sets can be set with different parameters (e.g., parameters in Table 9), the set of search space sets monitored by a terminal at each point in time can be different. For example, if search space set #1 is set with an X-slot period and search space set #2 is set with a Y-slot period and X and Y are different, the terminal can monitor both search space set #1 and search space set #2 in a specific slot, or can monitor either search space set #1 or search space set #2 in a specific slot.

[0155] [PDCCH: BD / CCE limit]

[0156] When multiple search space sets are set for a terminal, the following conditions may be considered in determining the search space set that the terminal should monitor.

[0157] If the value of monitoringCapabilityConfig-r16, which is an upper layer signaling, is set to r15monitoringcapability, the terminal defines the maximum values ​​for the number of PDCCH candidates that can be monitored and the number of CCEs that constitute the entire search space (wherein the entire search space means the entire set of CCEs corresponding to the union area of ​​multiple search space sets) per slot, and if the value of monitoringCapabilityConfig-r16 is set to r16monitoringcapability, the terminal defines the maximum values ​​for the number of PDCCH candidates that can be monitored and the number of CCEs that constitute the entire search space (wherein the entire search space means the entire set of CCEs corresponding to the union area of ​​multiple search space sets) per Span.

[0158] [Condition 1: Limit the maximum number of PDCCH candidates]

[0159] As described above, depending on the setting value of the upper layer signaling, the maximum number of PDCCH candidates that the terminal can monitor is M. μ is a subcarrier spacing of 15·2 μ When defined by slot in a cell set to kHz, Table 11 below can be followed, and when defined by span, Table 12 below can be followed.

[0160] [Table 11]

[0161]

[0162] [Table 12]

[0163]

[0164] [Condition 2: Maximum CCE limit]

[0165] As above, according to the setting value of the upper layer signaling, the maximum number of CCEs that constitute the entire search space (here, the entire search space means the entire set of CCEs corresponding to the union area of ​​multiple search space sets) is C μ is a subcarrier spacing of 15·2 μ When defined by slot in a cell set to kHz, Table 13 below may be followed, and when defined by span, Table 14 below may be followed.

[0166] [Table 13]

[0167]

[0168] [Table 14]

[0169]

[0170] For convenience of explanation, let us define a situation where both conditions 1 and 2 are satisfied at a certain point in time as “condition A.” Therefore, not satisfying condition A may mean not satisfying at least one of conditions 1 and 2.

[0171] [PDCCH: Overbooking]

[0172] Depending on the configuration of the search space sets of the base station, there may be cases where condition A is not satisfied at a certain point in time. If condition A is not satisfied at a certain point in time, the terminal can select and monitor only some of the search space sets configured to satisfy condition A at that point in time, and the base station can transmit a PDCCH to the selected search space set.

[0173] The following method can be followed to select a partial search space from the entire set of search spaces.

[0174] If condition A for PDCCH is not satisfied at a specific point in time (slot), the terminal (or base station) may preferentially select a search space set whose search space type is set to a common search space from among the search space sets existing at that point in time over a search space set whose search space type is set to a terminal-specific search space.

[0175] If all search space sets set as common search spaces are selected (i.e., if condition A is satisfied even after selecting all search spaces set as common search spaces), the terminal (or base station) can select search space sets set as terminal-specific search spaces. At this time, if there are multiple search space sets set as terminal-specific search spaces, a search space set with a lower search space set index may have a higher priority. The terminal (or base station) can select terminal-specific search space sets within the range where condition A is satisfied, taking the priority into consideration.

[0176] [Rate matching / Puncturing related]

[0177] Below, the rate matching operation and puncturing operation are described in detail.

[0178] When a time and frequency resource A, through which an arbitrary symbol sequence A is to be transmitted, overlaps with an arbitrary time and frequency resource B, a rate matching or puncturing operation may be considered for transmission and reception operations of channel A considering resource C, an area in which resources A and B overlap. The specific operations may follow the contents below.

[0179] Rate Matching Operation

[0180] - The base station can map and transmit channel A only for the remaining resource areas excluding resource C corresponding to the overlapping area with resource B among the entire resources A that want to transmit symbol sequence A to the terminal. For example, if symbol sequence A is composed of {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #3, symbol #4}, resource A is {resource #1, resource #2, resource #3, resource #4}, and resource B is {resource #3, resource #5}, the base station can sequentially map and transmit symbol sequence A to {resource #1, resource #2, resource #4}, which are the remaining resources among resource A excluding {resource #3} corresponding to resource C. As a result, the base station can map and transmit symbol sequences {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #3} to {resource #1, resource #2, resource #4}, respectively.

[0181] The terminal can determine resources A and B from scheduling information for symbol sequence A from the base station, and can thereby determine resource C, which is an area where resources A and B overlap. The terminal can receive symbol sequence A, assuming that symbol sequence A was mapped and transmitted in the remaining area of ​​the entire resource A except for resource C. For example, if symbol sequence A is composed of {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #3, symbol #4}, and resource A is {resource #1, resource #2, resource #3, resource #4}, and resource B is {resource #3, resource #5}, the terminal can receive symbol sequence A, assuming that it was sequentially mapped to {resource #1, resource #2, resource #4}, which are the remaining resources of resource A except {resource #3}, which corresponds to resource C. As a result, the terminal can perform a series of subsequent reception operations, assuming that symbol sequences {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #3} were mapped and transmitted to {resource #1, resource #2, resource #4}, respectively.

[0182] Puncture action

[0183] If a base station wants to transmit symbol sequence A to a terminal, and there is a resource C corresponding to an area overlapping with resource B among all resources A, the base station maps symbol sequence A to the entire resource A, but does not perform transmission in the resource area corresponding to resource C, and can perform transmission only for the remaining resource areas of resource A excluding resource C. For example, if symbol sequence A is composed of {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #3, symbol #4}, resource A is {resource #1, resource #2, resource #3, resource #4}, and resource B is {resource #3, resource #5}, the base station can map symbol sequence A {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #3, symbol #4} to resource A {resource #1, resource #2, resource #3, resource #4}, and transmit only the symbol sequence {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #4} corresponding to the remaining resources {resource #1, resource #2, resource #4} excluding {resource #3} corresponding to resource C among resources A, and may not transmit {symbol #3} mapped to {resource #3} corresponding to resource C. As a result, the base station can transmit symbol sequences {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #4} by mapping them to {resource #1, resource #2, resource #4}, respectively.

[0184] The terminal can determine resources A and B from scheduling information for symbol sequence A from the base station, and can thereby determine resource C, which is an area where resources A and B overlap. The terminal can receive symbol sequence A assuming that symbol sequence A is mapped to the entire resource A, but is transmitted only in the remaining area of ​​resource area A excluding resource C. For example, if symbol sequence A is composed of {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #3, symbol #4}, resource A is {resource #1, resource #2, resource #3, resource #4}, and resource B is {resource #3, resource #5}, the terminal can assume that symbol sequence A {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #3, symbol #4} is mapped to resource A {resource #1, resource #2, resource #3, resource #4} respectively, but {symbol #3} mapped to {resource #3} corresponding to resource C is not transmitted, and can receive it assuming that symbol sequence {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #4} corresponding to {resource #1, resource #2, resource #4}, which are the remaining resources among resource A except {resource #3} corresponding to resource C, are mapped and transmitted. As a result, the terminal can assume that the symbol sequence {symbol #1, symbol #2, symbol #4} is transmitted by being mapped to {resource #1, resource #2, resource #4}, respectively, and perform a series of subsequent receiving operations.

[0185] Below, we describe a method for configuring rate-matching resources for the purpose of rate-matching in 5G communication systems. Rate-matching refers to adjusting the size of a signal based on the amount of resources available for transmission. For example, rate-matching a data channel may mean adjusting the size of data accordingly, without mapping the data channel to a specific time and frequency resource region.

[0186] FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a method for a base station and a terminal to transmit and receive data by taking into account downlink data channels and rate matching resources according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0187] FIG. 6 illustrates a downlink data channel (PDSCH, 601) and a rate matching resource (602). A base station can configure one or more rate matching resources (602) to a terminal through upper layer signaling (e.g., RRC signaling). Rate matching resource (602) configuration information may include time-domain resource allocation information (603), frequency-domain resource allocation information (604), and period information (605). In the following, the bitmap corresponding to the frequency-domain resource allocation information (604) is named “first bitmap,” the bitmap corresponding to the time-domain resource allocation information (603) is named “second bitmap,” and the bitmap corresponding to the period information (605) is named “third bitmap.” If all or part of the time and frequency resources of the scheduled data channel (601) overlap with the set rate matching resources (602), the base station can rate-match and transmit the data channel (601) in the rate matching resource (602) portion, and the terminal can perform reception and decoding after assuming that the data channel (601) is rate-matched in the rate matching resource (602) portion.

[0188] The base station can dynamically notify the terminal via DCI whether to rate-match the data channel in the set rate-matching resource portion through additional configuration (corresponding to the “rate-matching indicator” in the aforementioned DCI format). Specifically, the base station can select some of the set rate-matching resources and group them into rate-matching resource groups, and can use a bitmap to indicate to the terminal via DCI whether the data channel for each rate-matching resource group is rate-matched. For example, if four rate-matching resources, RMR#1, RMR#2, RMR#3, and RMR#4, are set, the base station can set RMG#1={RMR#1, RMR#2}, RMG#2={RMR#3, RMR#4} as the rate-matching groups, and can use two bits in the DCI field to indicate to the terminal whether to rate-match in RMG#1 and RMG#2, respectively, using a bitmap. For example, if rate matching is required, it can be indicated as “1”, and if rate matching is not required, it can be indicated as “0”.

[0189] In 5G systems, granularity at the "RB symbol level" and "RE level" is supported by setting the aforementioned rate matching resources on terminals. More specifically, the following configuration method can be followed.

[0190] RB symbol level

[0191] A terminal can receive up to four RateMatchPatterns for each bandwidth section through upper layer signaling, and one RateMatchPattern can include the following contents.

[0192] - As a reserved resource within the bandwidth section, a resource in which the time and frequency resource domains of the reserved resource are set by combining a bitmap at the RB level and a bitmap at the symbol level along the frequency axis may be included. The reserved resource may span one or two slots. A time domain pattern (periodicityAndPattern) in which the time and frequency domains composed of each RB level and symbol level bitmap pair are repeated may additionally be set.

[0193] - It may include a time and frequency domain resource area set as a control resource set within the bandwidth section and a resource area corresponding to a time domain pattern set as a search space setting in which the resource area is repeated.

[0194] RE level

[0195] The terminal can be configured with the following contents through upper layer signaling.

[0196] - The configuration information (lte-CRS-ToMatchAround) for RE corresponding to the LTE CRS (Cell-specific Reference Signal or Common Reference Signal) pattern may include the number of LTE CRS ports (nrofCRS-Ports) and the LTE-CRS-vshift(s) value (v-shift), the location information (carrierFreqDL) of the center subcarrier of the LTE carrier from the reference frequency point (e.g., reference point A), the bandwidth size (carrierBandwidthDL) information of the LTE carrier, and the subframe configuration information (mbsfn-SubframConfigList) corresponding to the MBSFN (Multicast-broadcast single-frequency network). Based on the above-described information, the terminal can determine the location of the CRS within the NR slot corresponding to the LTE subframe.

[0197] - It may include configuration information for a set of resources corresponding to one or more ZP (Zero Power) CSI-RSs within the bandwidth section.

[0198] [Regarding LTE CRS rate match]

[0199] Next, the rate match process for the LTE CRS described above will be described in detail. In order to coexist between LTE (Long Term Evolution) and NR (New RAT) (LTE-NR Coexistence), NR provides a function to set a pattern of LTE's CRS (Cell Specific Reference Signal) to NR terminals. More specifically, the CRS pattern can be provided by RRC signaling including at least one parameter in the ServingCellConfig IE (Information Element) or ServingCellConfigCommon IE. Examples of the parameters can include lte-CRS-ToMatchAround, lte-CRS-PatternList1-r16, lte-CRS-PatternList2-r16, crs-RateMatch-PerCORESETPoolIndex-r16, etc.

[0200] In Rel-15 NR, the lte-CRS-ToMatchAround parameter provides a function that allows one CRS pattern to be set per serving cell. In Rel-16 NR, the function has been extended to allow multiple CRS patterns to be set per serving cell. More specifically, a single-TRP (transmission and reception point) configured terminal can have one CRS pattern set per LTE carrier, and a multi-TRP configured terminal can have two CRS patterns set per LTE carrier. For example, a single-TRP configured terminal can have up to three CRS patterns set per serving cell through the lte-CRS-PatternList1-r16 parameter. As another example, a multi-TRP configured terminal can have CRS set per TRP. That is, the CRS pattern for TRP1 can be set via the lte-CRS-PatternList1-r16 parameter, and the CRS pattern for TRP2 can be set via the lte-CRS-PatternList2-r16 parameter. Meanwhile, when two TRPs are set as above, whether both the CRS patterns of TRP1 and TRP2 or only the CRS pattern for one TRP is applied to a specific PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) is determined via the crs-RateMatch-PerCORESETPoolIndex-r16 parameter. If the crs-RateMatch-PerCORESETPoolIndex-r16 parameter is set to enabled, only the CRS pattern of one TRP is applied, and in other cases, the CRS patterns of both TRPs are applied.

[0201] Table 15 shows a ServingCellConfig IE that includes the above CRS pattern, and Table 16 shows a RateMatchPatternLTE-CRS IE that includes at least one parameter for the CRS pattern.

[0207] [PDSCH: Frequency Resource Allocation Related]

[0208] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of frequency-axis resource allocation of a physical downlink control channel (PDSCH) in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0209] FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating three frequency axis resource allocation methods, type 0 (700), type 1 (705), and dynamic switch (710), which can be set through an upper layer in an NR wireless communication system.

[0210] Referring to Fig. 7, if a terminal is set to use only resource type 0 through upper layer signaling (700), some downlink control information (DCI) that allocates PDSCH to the terminal includes a bitmap composed of NRBG bits. The conditions for this will be explained later. At this time, NRBG means the number of RBGs (resource block groups) determined according to the BWP size allocated by the BWP indicator and the upper layer parameter rbg-Size as shown in [Table 17] below, and data is transmitted to the RBG indicated as 1 by the bitmap.

[0211] [Table 17]

[0212]

[0213] If the terminal is configured to use only resource type 1 through upper layer signaling (705), some DCIs that allocate PDSCH to the terminal It includes frequency axis resource allocation information consisting of bits. The conditions for this will be explained later. Through this, the base station can set the starting VRB (720) and the length (725) of frequency axis resources allocated continuously therefrom.

[0214] If a terminal is configured to use both resource type 0 and resource type 1 through upper layer signaling (710), some DCIs that allocate PDSCH to the terminal include frequency-axis resource allocation information composed of bits of a larger value (735) among the payload (715) for configuring resource type 0 and the payload (720, 725) for configuring resource type 1. Conditions for this will be explained later. At this time, one bit may be added to the first part (MSB) of the frequency-axis resource allocation information in the DCI, and if the bit has a value of '0', it may indicate that resource type 0 is used, and if the bit has a value of '1', it may indicate that resource type 1 is used.

[0215] [PDSCH / PUSCH: Time Resource Allocation Related]

[0216] Below, a time domain resource allocation method for data channels in next-generation mobile communication systems (5G or NR systems) is described.

[0217] A base station can set up a table for time domain resource allocation information for a downlink data channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH) and an uplink data channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH) to a terminal through higher layer signaling (e.g., RRC signaling). A table with up to maxNrofDL-Allocations=16 entries can be set up for PDSCH, and a table with up to maxNrofUL-Allocations=16 entries can be set up for PUSCH. In one embodiment, the time domain resource allocation information may include PDCCH-to-PDSCH slot timing (corresponding to the time interval in slot units between the time point of receiving a PDCCH and the time point of transmitting a PDSCH scheduled by the received PDCCH, denoted as K0), PDCCH-to-PUSCH slot timing (corresponding to the time interval in slot units between the time point of receiving a PDCCH and the time point of transmitting a PUSCH scheduled by the received PDCCH, denoted as K2), information on the position and length of the start symbol for which a PDSCH or PUSCH is scheduled within a slot, a mapping type of the PDSCH or PUSCH, etc. For example, information such as [Table 18] or [Table 19] below may be transmitted from the base station to the terminal.

[0218] [Table 18]

[0219]

[0220] [Table 19]

[0221]

[0222] The base station can notify the terminal of one of the entries in the table for the time domain resource allocation information described above via L1 signaling (e.g., DCI). For example, this may be indicated by the "Time Domain Resource Allocation" field in the DCI. The terminal can obtain time domain resource allocation information for the PDSCH or PUSCH based on the DCI received from the base station.

[0223] FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of time axis resource allocation of PDSCH in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0224] Referring to FIG. 8, the base station uses the upper layer to set the subcarrier spacing (SCS) (μ) of the data channel and the control channel. PDSCH , μ PDCCH ), scheduling offset (K0) value, and the time axis position of the PDSCH resource can be indicated according to the OFDM symbol start position (800) and length (805) within a slot dynamically indicated through DCI.

[0225] FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of time-domain resource allocation according to subcarrier spacing of a data channel and a control channel in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0226] Referring to Fig. 9, when the subcarrier spacing of the data channel and the control channel is the same (900, μ PDSCH = μ PDCCH), since the slot numbers for data and control are the same, the base station and the terminal can generate a scheduling offset according to the predetermined slot offset K0. On the other hand, if the subcarrier spacing of the data channel and the control channel are different (905, μ PDSCH ≠ μ PDCCH ), since the slot numbers for data and control are different, the base station and the terminal can generate a scheduling offset according to a predetermined slot offset K0 based on the subcarrier interval of the PDCCH.

[0227] [PUSCH: Transmission Method Related]

[0228] Next, we describe the scheduling method for PUSCH transmission. PUSCH transmission can be dynamically scheduled by the UL grant within the DCI or can operate by configured grant Type 1 or Type 2. Dynamic scheduling instructions for PUSCH transmission are possible in DCI format 0_0 or 0_1.

[0229] Configured grant Type 1 PUSCH transmission can be semi-statically configured by receiving configuredGrantConfig including rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrant of [Table 20] through higher-order signaling, without receiving UL grant in DCI. Configured grant Type 2 PUSCH transmission can be semi-persistently scheduled by UL grant in DCI after receiving configuredGrantConfig not including rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrant of [Table 20] through higher-order signaling. When PUSCH transmission operates by configured grant, parameters applied to PUSCH transmission are applied through configuredGrantConfig of higher-order signaling of [Table 20], except for dataScramblingIdentityPUSCH, txConfig, codebookSubset, maxRank, and scaling of UCI-OnPUSCH provided by pusch-Config of [Table 21]. If the terminal has been provided with transformPrecoder in configuredGrantConfig, which is the upper signaling of [Table 20], the terminal applies tp-pi2BPSK in pusch-Config of [Table 21] to PUSCH transmission operated by the configured grant.

[0230] [Table 20]

[0231]

[0232]

[0233] Next, the PUSCH transmission method is described. The DMRS antenna port for PUSCH transmission is the same as the antenna port for SRS transmission. PUSCH transmission can follow a codebook-based or non-codebook-based transmission method, respectively, depending on whether the value of txConfig in the upper signaling, pusch-Config in [Table 21], is 'codebook' or 'nonCodebook'.

[0234] As described above, PUSCH transmission can be dynamically scheduled via DCI format 0_0 or 0_1, and can be semi-statically configured by configured grant. If the UE is instructed to schedule PUSCH transmission via DCI format 0_0, the UE performs beam configuration for PUSCH transmission using pucch-spatialRelationInfoID corresponding to the UE-specific PUCCH resource corresponding to the minimum ID within the activated uplink BWP within the serving cell, and the PUSCH transmission is based on a single antenna port. The UE does not expect scheduling for PUSCH transmission via DCI format 0_0 within a BWP where a PUCCH resource including pucch-spatialRelationInfo is not configured. If the UE does not configure txConfig in pusch-Config of [Table 21], the UE does not expect to be scheduled with DCI format 0_1.

[0235] [Table 21]

[0236]

[0237] Next, we describe codebook-based PUSCH transmission. Codebook-based PUSCH transmission can be dynamically scheduled via DCI format 0_0 or 0_1, or can operate semi-statically based on a configured grant. When codebook-based PUSCH is dynamically scheduled via DCI format 0_1 ​​or semi-statically configured via a configured grant, the UE determines a precoder for PUSCH transmission based on the SRS Resource Indicator (SRI), Transmission Precoding Matrix Indicator (TPMI), and transmission rank (the number of PUSCH transmission layers).

[0238] At this time, the SRI can be given through the SRS resource indicator field in the DCI or configured through the srs-ResourceIndicator higher-level signaling. The UE is configured with at least one SRS resource when transmitting a codebook-based PUSCH, and can be configured with up to two. When the UE receives an SRI through the DCI, the SRS resource indicated by the SRI refers to the SRS resource corresponding to the SRI among the SRS resources transmitted before the PDCCH containing the SRI. In addition, the TPMI and transmission rank can be given through the precoding information and number of layers fields in the DCI or configured through the precodingAndNumberOfLayers higher-level signaling. The TPMI is used to indicate the precoder applied to the PUSCH transmission. If the UE is configured with one SRS resource, the TPMI is used to indicate the precoder to be applied to the configured one SRS resource. When a terminal is configured with multiple SRS resources, TPMI is used to indicate the precoder to be applied in the SRS resource indicated through SRI.

[0239] The precoder to be used for PUSCH transmission is selected from an uplink codebook having the same number of antenna ports as the nrofSRS-Ports value in the upper layer signaling, SRS-Config. In codebook-based PUSCH transmission, the UE determines the codebook subset based on the TPMI and codebookSubset in the upper layer signaling, pusch-Config. The codebookSubset in the upper layer signaling, pusch-Config, can be set to one of 'fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent', 'partialAndNonCoherent', or 'nonCoherent' based on the UE capability reported by the UE to the base station. If the UE reported 'partialAndNonCoherent' as the UE capability, the UE does not expect the value of codebookSubset in the upper layer signaling to be set to 'fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent'. Additionally, if the UE reports 'nonCoherent' as the UE capability, the UE does not expect the value of the upper signaling codebookSubset to be set to 'fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent' or 'partialAndNonCoherent'. If nrofSRS-Ports in the upper signaling SRS-ResourceSet points to two SRS antenna ports, the UE does not expect the value of the upper signaling codebookSubset to be set to 'partialAndNonCoherent'.

[0240] The terminal can be configured with one SRS resource set in which the usage value in the upper signaling SRS-ResourceSet is set to 'codebook', and one SRS resource in the SRS resource set can be indicated via SRI. If multiple SRS resources are configured in the SRS resource set in which the usage value in the upper signaling SRS-ResourceSet is set to 'codebook', the terminal expects that the value of nrofSRS-Ports in the upper signaling SRS-Resource is set to the same value for all SRS resources.

[0241] The terminal transmits to the base station one or more SRS resources included in the SRS resource set in which the usage value is set to 'codebook' according to upper signaling, and the base station selects one of the SRS resources transmitted by the terminal and instructs the terminal to perform PUSCH transmission using transmission beam information of the corresponding SRS resource. At this time, in codebook-based PUSCH transmission, the SRI is used as information for selecting an index of one SRS resource and is included in the DCI. Additionally, the base station includes in the DCI information indicating the TPMI and rank to be used by the terminal for PUSCH transmission. The terminal performs PUSCH transmission by applying the indicated rank and the precoder indicated by the TPMI based on the transmission beam of the corresponding SRS resource using the SRS resource indicated by the SRI.

[0242] Next, we describe non-codebook-based PUSCH transmission. Non-codebook-based PUSCH transmission can be dynamically scheduled via DCI format 0_0 or 0_1, and can operate semi-statically based on a configured grant. If at least one SRS resource is configured within an SRS resource set in which the usage value in the upper signaling, SRS-ResourceSet, is set to 'nonCodebook', the UE can be scheduled for non-codebook-based PUSCH transmission via DCI format 0_1.

[0243] For an SRS resource set in which the usage value in the upper signaling SRS-ResourceSet is set to 'nonCodebook', the UE can be configured with one connected NZP CSI-RS resource (non-zero power CSI-RS). The UE can perform calculations for a precoder for SRS transmission by measuring the NZP CSI-RS resource connected to the SRS resource set. If the difference between the last received symbol of the aperiodic NZP CSI-RS resource connected to the SRS resource set and the first symbol of the aperiodic SRS transmission at the UE is less than 42 symbols, the UE does not expect information about the precoder for SRS transmission to be updated.

[0244] If the value of resourceType in the upper signaling SRS-ResourceSet is set to 'aperiodic', the connected NZP CSI-RS is indicated by the SRS request field in DCI format 0_1 ​​or 1_1. At this time, if the connected NZP CSI-RS resource is an aperiodic NZP CSI-RS resource, the presence of the connected NZP CSI-RS is indicated when the value of the SRS request field in DCI format 0_1 ​​or 1_1 is not '00'. At this time, the DCI must not indicate cross-carrier or cross BWP scheduling. In addition, if the value of the SRS request indicates the presence of an NZP CSI-RS, the NZP CSI-RS is located in the slot in which the PDCCH including the SRS request field is transmitted. At this time, the TCI states set for the scheduled subcarriers are not set to QCL-TypeD.

[0245] If a periodic or semi-persistent SRS resource set is configured, the associated NZP CSI-RS can be indicated through the associatedCSI-RS in the upper-level signaling SRS-ResourceSet. For non-codebook-based transmission, the UE does not expect the upper-level signaling spatialRelationInfo for the SRS resource and the associatedCSI-RS in the upper-level signaling SRS-ResourceSet to be configured together.

[0246] When a terminal is configured with multiple SRS resources, the terminal can determine the precoder and transmission rank to be applied to PUSCH transmission based on the SRI indicated by the base station. At this time, the SRI can be indicated through the SRS resource indicator field in the DCI or configured through the srs-ResourceIndicator, which is a higher-level signaling (e.g., RRC signaling).

[0247] Similar to the codebook-based PUSCH transmission described above, when a UE receives an SRI through DCI, the SRS resource indicated by the SRI refers to an SRS resource corresponding to the SRI among the SRS resources transmitted before the PDCCH containing the SRI. The UE can use one or more SRS resources for SRS transmission, and the maximum number of SRS resources that can be simultaneously transmitted in the same symbol within one SRS resource set and the maximum number of SRS resources are determined by the UE capability reported by the UE to the base station. At this time, the SRS resources that the UE simultaneously transmits occupy the same RB. The UE configures one SRS port for each SRS resource. Only one SRS resource set in which the usage value in the upper signaling SRS-ResourceSet is set to 'nonCodebook' can be configured, and up to four SRS resources can be configured for non-codebook-based PUSCH transmission.

[0248] The base station transmits one NZP-CSI-RS associated with an SRS resource set to the terminal, and the terminal calculates a precoder to be used when transmitting one or more SRS resources within the SRS resource set based on the result measured upon reception of the NZP-CSI-RS. When the terminal transmits one or more SRS resources within the SRS resource set with usage set to 'nonCodebook' to the base station, the terminal applies the calculated precoder, and the base station selects one or more SRS resources from the received one or more SRS resources. At this time, in non-codebook based PUSCH transmission, the SRI represents an index that can express a combination of one or more SRS resources, and the SRI is included in the DCI. At this time, the number of SRS resources indicated by the SRI transmitted by the base station can be the number of transmission layers of the PUSCH, and the terminal transmits the PUSCH by applying the precoder applied to SRS resource transmission to each layer.

[0249] [PUSCH: Preparation time]

[0250] Next, the PUSCH preparation procedure time is described. When the base station schedules a UE to transmit a PUSCH using DCI format 0_0, 0_1, or 0_2, the UE may require a PUSCH preparation procedure time to transmit the PUSCH by applying the transmission method indicated through the DCI (transmission precoding method of SRS resources, number of transmission layers, spatial domain transmission filter). NR takes this into account and defines the PUSCH preparation procedure time. The PUSCH preparation procedure time of the UE can follow the following [Mathematical Formula 2].

[0251] [Equation 2]

[0252]

[0253] T as described in mathematical formula 2 proc,2 In , each variable can have the following meanings:

[0254] - N2: The number of symbols determined by the UE processing capability (UE processing capability) 1 or 2 and the numerology μ according to the UE capability. If UE processing capability 1 is reported according to the UE capability report, it has the value of [Table 22]. If UE processing capability 2 is reported and the availability of UE processing capability 2 is set through upper layer signaling, it can have the value of [Table 23].

[0255] [Table 22]

[0256]

[0257] [Table 23]

[0258]

[0259] - d 2,1: The number of symbols set to 0 if all resource elements of the first OFDM symbol of PUSCH transmission are configured to consist of only DM-RS, and 1 otherwise.

[0260] - : 64

[0261] - μ: μ DL or μ UL Medium, T proc,2 This follows the larger value μ DL refers to the numerology of the downlink in which the PDCCH containing the DCI scheduling the PUSCH is transmitted, and μ UL It refers to the numerology of the uplink in which PUSCH is transmitted.

[0262] - T c : 1 / (△f max *N f ), △f max = 480*10 3 Hz, N f =has 4096.

[0263] - d 2,2 : If the DCI scheduling the PUSCH indicates BWP switching, it follows the BWP switching time, otherwise it has 0.

[0264] - d2: When the OFDM symbols of a PUCCH with a high priority index and a PUCCH with a low priority index overlap in time, the d2 value of the PUSCH with the high priority index is used. Otherwise, d2 is 0.

[0265] - T ext : If the terminal uses a shared spectrum channel access method, the terminal is T ext can be calculated and applied to the PUSCH preparation process time. Otherwise, T ext is assumed to be 0.

[0266] - T switch: T when the uplink switching interval is triggered switch is assumed to be the switching interval time. Otherwise, it is assumed to be 0.

[0267] When the base station and the terminal consider the time domain resource mapping information of the PUSCH scheduled through DCI and the influence of the timing advance between uplink and downlink, the base station and the terminal determine T from the last symbol of the PDCCH including the DCI that scheduled the PUSCH. proc,2 If the first symbol of the PUSCH begins before the first uplink symbol of the CP, the PUSCH preparation time is determined to be insufficient. Otherwise, the base station and the UE determine that the PUSCH preparation time is sufficient. The UE transmits the PUSCH only when the PUSCH preparation time is sufficient, and may ignore the DCI scheduling the PUSCH if the PUSCH preparation time is insufficient.

[0268] [CA / DC related]

[0269] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a wireless protocol structure of a base station and a terminal in a single cell, carrier aggregation, or dual connectivity situation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0270] Referring to FIG. 10, the wireless protocol of the next-generation mobile communication system is composed of NR SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol 1025, 1070), NR PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol 1030, 1065), NR RLC (Radio Link Control 1035, 1060), and NR MAC (Medium Access Control 1040, 1055) in the terminal and NR base station, respectively.

[0276] For the above SDAP layer device, the terminal can be configured by an RRC message for each PDCP layer device, each bearer, or each logical channel, whether to use the header of the SDAP layer device or whether to use the function of the SDAP layer device, and when the SDAP header is configured, the terminal can instruct the NAS QoS reflection configuration 1-bit indicator (NAS reflective QoS) and the AS QoS reflection configuration 1-bit indicator (AS reflective QoS) of the SDAP header to update or reset the mapping information for the QoS flow and data bearer of the uplink and downlink. The SDAP header can include QoS flow ID information indicating QoS. The QoS information can be used as data processing priority, scheduling information, etc. to support a smooth service.

[0277] The main functions of NR PDCP (1030, 1065) may include some of the following functions:

[0278] - Header compression and decompression (ROHC only)

The in-sequence delivery function of an NR RLC device may include a function to sequentially deliver to the upper layer only the RLC SDUs up to the lost RLC SDU when there is a lost RLC SDU, or may include a function to sequentially deliver to the upper layer all RLC SDUs received before the timer starts if a predetermined timer has expired even if there is a lost RLC SDU. Alternatively, the in-sequence delivery function of an NR RLC device may include a function to sequentially deliver to the upper layer all RLC SDUs received up to the present if a predetermined timer has expired even if there is a lost RLC SDU.In addition, the RLC PDUs may be processed in the order in which they are received (in the order of arrival, regardless of the order of the sequence number) and delivered to the PDCP device out of order (out-of-sequence delivery). In the case of segments, the segments stored in the buffer or to be received later may be received, reconstructed into a complete RLC PDU, processed, and delivered to the PDCP device. The NR RLC layer may not include a concatenation function, and the function may be performed in the NR MAC layer or replaced with a multiplexing function of the NR MAC layer.

[0312] The NR PHY layer (1045, 1050) can perform operations of channel coding and modulating upper layer data, converting it into OFDM symbols and transmitting it through a wireless channel, or demodulating and channel decoding OFDM symbols received through a wireless channel and transmitting them to a higher layer.

[0313] The above wireless protocol structure can have various detailed structures depending on the carrier (or cell) operation method. For example, when a base station transmits data to a terminal based on a single carrier (or cell), the base station and the terminal use a protocol structure that has a single structure for each layer, such as 1000. On the other hand, when a base station transmits data to a terminal based on CA (carrier aggregation) that uses multiple carriers in a single TRP, the base station and the terminal use a protocol structure that has a single structure up to RLC, such as 1010, but multiplexes the PHY layer through the MAC layer. As another example, when a base station transmits data to a terminal based on DC (dual connectivity) that uses multiple carriers in multiple TRPs, the base station and the terminal use a protocol structure that has a single structure up to RLC, such as 1020, but multiplexes the PHY layer through the MAC layer.

[0314] Referring to the above-described PDCCH and beam configuration-related descriptions, the current Rel-15 and Rel-16 NR do not support repeated PDCCH transmission, making it difficult to achieve the required reliability in scenarios requiring high reliability, such as URLLC. The present invention provides a method for repeated PDCCH transmission through multiple transmission points (TRPs) to improve the reliability of PDCCH reception by a terminal. The specific method is described in detail in the following embodiments.

[0315] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The contents of the present disclosure can be applied to FDD and TDD systems. In the present disclosure below, upper signaling (or upper layer signaling) refers to a signal transmission method in which a base station transmits a signal to a terminal using a downlink data channel of a physical layer, or a terminal transmits a signal to a base station using an uplink data channel of a physical layer, and may also be referred to as RRC signaling, PDCP signaling, or MAC (medium access control) control element (MAC control element; MAC CE).

[0316] In the present disclosure, when determining whether cooperative communication is applied, the terminal may use various methods, such as having the PDCCH(s) that allocate the PDSCH to which cooperative communication is applied have a specific format, or including a specific indicator that indicates whether cooperative communication is applied, or scrambled with a specific RNTI by the PDCCH(s) that allocate the PDSCH to which cooperative communication is applied, or assuming cooperative communication is applied in a specific section indicated by a higher layer. For the convenience of the following description, the case where the terminal receives the PDSCH to which cooperative communication is applied based on conditions similar to the above will be referred to as the NC-JT case.

[0317] In the present disclosure, determining the priority between A and B may be referred to in various ways, such as selecting a higher priority according to a predetermined priority rule and performing an action corresponding to it, or omitting or dropping an action for a lower priority.

[0338] [Type-1 HARQ-ACK Codebook Related]

[0339] This section describes how to configure a Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook in a new radio (NR) system. Note that the Type-1 HARQ-ACK codebook is also called a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0340] The following description assumes that a terminal is limited to a single physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) over which HARQ-ACK information can be transmitted within a single time unit (e.g., slot, sub-slot, mini-slot). Unless otherwise specified, the time unit is described as a slot, but this can be extended to include sub-slots, mini-slots, etc.

[0341] In an NR system, a terminal can only receive one physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) in a symbol. That is, if two or more PDSCHs are scheduled in a symbol, the terminal may determine that the scheduling is an error. Unless otherwise specified, the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook is described assuming a terminal capable of receiving only one PDSCH in a symbol. The new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook is a codebook for a terminal capable of receiving two or more PDSCHs in a symbol.

[0342] A terminal may receive an existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook configuration from a base station. Here, the configuration may be set as a higher layer signal (e.g., a radio resource control (RRC) signal). The terminal may receive a DCI format from the base station. The terminal may transmit HARQ-ACK information of a PDSCH, an SPS PDSCH release, or a Scell ​​dormancy indication scheduled by the DCI format in a slot indicated by a value of a PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field in the DCI format. If the terminal is instructed to transmit multiple HARQ-ACK information in one slot, the terminal may generate the HARQ-ACK information into a HARQ-ACK codebook according to a predetermined rule and transmit it in one PUCCH in the slot.

[0343] The rules for generating a more specific conventional semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook are as follows.

[0344] The terminal reports the HARQ-ACK information bit value in the HARQ-ACK codebook as NACK in slots not indicated by the PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator field in the DCI format.

[0345] If the terminal receives all M for candidate PDSCH reception A,C In cases where only HARQ-ACK information for one SPS PDSCH release or one PDSCH reception is reported, and the report is scheduled by DCI format 1_0 including information that the counter DACI field in the Pcell indicates 1, the UE determines one HARQ-ACK codebook for the corresponding SPS PDSCH release or the corresponding PDSCH reception.

[0346] Otherwise, the HARQ-ACK codebook determination method is followed according to the method described below.

[0347] For the convenience of the present invention, the PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator value is referred to as the K1 value. A terminal may be configured with multiple K1 values, and these multiple K1 values ​​are collectively referred to as a K1 set.

[0348] The set of PDSCH reception candidate opportunities (occasions) in serving cell c is M A,c , and after that M A,c Describe a method of obtaining or calculating .

[0349] First, let us assume that the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI format is received in a single slot. This may include cases where the pdsch-AggregationFactor is not set from the upper layer.

[0350] When transmitting a PUCCH or PUSCH carrying a conventional semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook in slot n, the pseudo-code for this is as follows.

[0351] [pseudo-code 1:]

[0352] - Preparation phase: Set R is a set of scheduling information (slot information (hereinafter K0 value) to which PDSCH is mapped, starting symbol and length information (hereinafter SLIV (starting and length value)) set in the TDRA (time domain resource assignment) table. If the terminal monitors one or more DCI formats and the DCI formats use different TDRA tables, the set R is generated based on all TDRA tables.

[0353] - Step 0: M A,c Initialize to the empty set. Initialize k to 0. Initialize j to 0.

[0354] - Step 1: Select the kth largest K1 value from the established K1 set. (For example, if k=0, select the largest K1 value from the K1 set, and if k=1, select the second largest K1 value from the K1 set.) The above K1 value is K 1,k It is said.

[0355] - Step 2: If, K 1,k Slot corresponding to the value (slot nK 1,k ) If the symbol corresponding to the start symbol and length information (SLIV) belonging to each row of set R overlaps with a symbol set as uplink in the upper layer, the row can be excluded from set R.

[0356] - Step 3-1 (If the UE has only the UE capability to receive at most one unicast PDSCH in one slot): If the above-determined set R is not an empty set, then the set M A,cAdd j as a new PDSCH reception candidate opportunity. Upon receiving one of the PDSCH candidates of the set R, the terminal can place the HARQ-ACK of one PDSCH that can be received in the slot in the new PDSCH candidate opportunity j. Increment j by 1.

[0357] - Step 3-2 (If the terminal has the capability to receive more than one unicast PDSCH in one slot) Set M for the SLIV that ends earliest in the above-determined set R and the SLIVs that overlap in time with that SLIV. A,c Add j as a new PDSCH reception candidate opportunity. When receiving one of the PDSCH candidates with the SLIV, the terminal can place the HARQ-ACK of the PDSCH scheduled with one of the SLIVs in the new PDSCH candidate opportunity j. That is, if the index of the SLIV is r, b r,k =j may be. Increase j by 1. Exclude the above SLIVs from set R. Step 3-2 is repeated until set R is an empty set.

[0358] - Step 4: Increase k by 1. If k is less than the cardinality of the K1 set, start again from Step 2. If k is equal to or greater than the cardinality of the K1 set, pseudo-code 1 ends.

[0359] FIG. 11a, FIG. 11b, and FIG. 11c are diagrams illustrating an existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook for HARQ-ACK transmission of PDSCH according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0360] Referring to FIGS. 11a, 11b, and 11c, a terminal performs PUCCH transmission including HARQ-ACK information in slot n. The HARQ-ACK information may be generated in the form of a conventional semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0361] A terminal can receive uplink and / or downlink configuration information from a base station. Based on the uplink and / or downlink configuration information, the terminal can determine whether a symbol is an uplink symbol, a downlink symbol, or a flexible symbol. For convenience, only uplink symbols are described here, and symbols other than uplink symbols may be downlink symbols or flexible symbols. Referring to Fig. 11a, all symbols in slot n and slot n-1 can be set as uplink symbols. And the last two symbols in slot n-2 can be set as uplink symbols.

[0362] Assume that the terminal is set to K1=2 and K1=3 as K1 values. That is, the K1 set is {2,3}. In addition, the TDRA table of the DCI format monitored by the terminal can include five rows as shown in Table 24. For reference, each row can be set to a K0 value, a SLIV value, or a PDSCH mapping type value, but for convenience of explanation, the PDSCH mapping type is omitted.

[0363] [Table 24]

[0364]

[0365] The terminal may include each SLIV row of the TDRA table in Table 24 in the set R according to the preparation stage. Table 24 shows the SLIVs according to each row. The terminal may select a PDSCH reception candidate opportunity set M based on the K1 value and the set R. A,c can decide M A,cmay include integer values ​​of {0,1,...}. The existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook may include HARQ-ACK bits corresponding to each integer value. In addition, the terminal may determine the K1 value (the K1 value is located at the kth position among the K1 sets) and the SLIV index (r) corresponding to the slot corresponding to the received PDSCH. The terminal may determine the b corresponding to the received PDSCH. r,k The value j (b r,k If =j), then M A,c The HARQ-ACK of the received PDSCH can be included in the HARQ-ACK bit position corresponding to j among the integers included in the set. That is, j = 0 (b r,k ), the HARQ-ACK of the PDSCH may be included in the first HARQ-ACK bit in the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0366] Referring to FIGS. 11a, 11b, and 11c, pseudo code 1 can be interpreted as follows. In the following description, it is assumed that the terminal has the capability to receive more than one unicast PDSCH in one slot.

[0367] - Step 0: M A,c Initialize to the empty set. Initialize k to 0. Initialize j to 0.

[0368] - Step 1: Select the k=0th largest K1 value from the established K1 set. The above K1 value is K 1,0 =3.

[0369] - Step 2: If slot nK 1,0= If the symbol corresponding to the start symbol and length information (SLIV) belonging to each SLIV row of set R in n-3 overlaps with a symbol set as uplink in a higher layer, the SLIV row can be excluded from set R. Referring to FIG. 11b, if some symbols in slot n-3 are semi-static UL symbols set in a higher layer, the SLIV row including SLIVs overlapping with the symbols can be excluded from set R. Referring to FIG. 11b, since no semi-static UL symbol is set in slot n-3, all SLIV rows may not be excluded from set R. Set R may include {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.

[0370] - Step 3-2 (if the terminal has the capability to receive more than one unicast PDSCH in one slot):

[0371] * Set M for the SLIV that ends earliest in the above-determined set R and the SLIVs that overlap in time with that SLIV A,c Add j=0 as a new PDSCH reception candidate opportunity. Here, the SLIV that ends first is SLIV1 (0,4) in row 1, and the SLIVs that overlap with the above SLIV are SLIV2 (0,7) in row 2 and SLIV5 (0,14) in row 5. Therefore, M A,c Adding j=0 to the terminal, when the terminal receives the PDSCH scheduled as SLIV1(0,4) of row 1, SLIV2(0,7) of row 2, or SLIV5(0,14) of row 5 in slot n-3, the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH is set to the first (j=0) M in the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook. A,c can be included in the corresponding position. j is increased by 1 so that j = 1. In the set R, the SLIV rows of rows 1, 2, and 5 are excluded, so R = {3, 4}. Since the set R is not an empty set, step 3-2 is repeated.

[0372] * Set M for the SLIV that ends earliest in the above-determined set R and the SLIVs that overlap in time with that SLIV A,c Add j=1 as a new PDSCH reception candidate opportunity. Here, the SLIV that ends first is SLIV4 (7,4) in row 4, and the SLIV that overlaps with the above SLIV is SLIV3 (7,7) in row 3. Therefore, M A,c Adding j=1 to the terminal, when the terminal receives the PDSCH scheduled as SLIV4 (7,4) of row 4 or SLIV3 (7,7) of row 3 in slot n-3, the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH is set to the second (j=1) M in the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook. A,c can be included in the corresponding position. By increasing j by 1, j=2. SLIV of rows 3 and 4 are excluded from the set R, so R becomes an empty set. Therefore, step 3-2 can be terminated.

[0373] - Step 4: Increase k by 1 to make k = 1. Since the size (cardinality) of the K1 set is 2, start again from step 2 using the next K1 value. Now, K 1,1 =2.

[0374] - Step 2: If slot nK 1,1= If the symbol corresponding to the start symbol and length information (SLIV) belonging to each row of set R in n-2 overlaps with a symbol set as uplink in a higher layer, the row can be excluded from set R. Referring to FIG. 11b, if some symbols in slot n-2 are semi-static UL symbols set in a higher layer, rows including SLIVs overlapping with the symbols can be excluded from set R. Referring to FIG. 11b, a semi-static UL symbol is set in slot n-2, and the rows overlapping with the semi-static UL symbols are row 3 and row 5. Therefore, SLIV row 3 and SLIV row 5 can be excluded from set R. Set R can include {1, 2, 4}.

[0375] - Step 3-2 (if the terminal has the capability to receive more than one unicast PDSCH in one slot):

[0376] * Set M for the SLIV that ends earliest in the above-determined set R and the SLIVs that overlap in time with that SLIV A,c Add j=2 as a new PDSCH reception candidate opportunity. Here, the SLIV that ends first is SLIV 1 (0,4) in row 1, and the SLIV that overlaps with the above SLIV is SLIV 2 (0,7) in row 2. Therefore, M A,c Adding j=2 to the terminal, when the terminal receives the PDSCH scheduled with SLIV 1(0,4) of row 1 or SLIV 2(0,7) of row 2 in slot n-3, the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH is set to the third (j=2) M in the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook. A,c can be included in the corresponding position. j is increased by 1 so that j = 3. In set R, SLIVs in rows 1 and 2 are excluded so that R = {4}. Since set R is not an empty set, step 3-2 is repeated.

[0377] * Set M for the SLIV that ends earliest in the above-determined set R and the SLIVs that overlap in time with that SLIV A,c Add j=3 as a new PDSCH reception candidate opportunity. Here, the SLIV that ends first is SLIV 4 (7,4) in row 4, and there is no SLIV that overlaps with the above SLIV. Therefore, M A,c Add j=3 to the terminal, and when the terminal receives the PDSCH scheduled to SLIV 4(7,4) of row 4 in slot n-3, the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH is set to the fourth (j=3) M in the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook. A,c can be included in the corresponding position. By increasing j by 1, j=4. SLIV of row 4 is excluded from set R, so R becomes an empty set. Therefore, step 3-2 can be terminated.

[0378] - Step 4: Increase k by 1 so that k=2. Since k=1 means that the size (cardinality) of the K1 set is 2, the pseudo-code ends.

[0379] Referring to FIG. 11c, the terminal has M corresponding to four PDSCH reception candidate opportunities j=0, j=1, j=2, j=3. A,c can be determined. Here, M corresponding to j=0 and j=1 A,C are PDSCH reception candidate opportunities for slot n-3, and M corresponding to j=2 and j=3. A,C are PDSCH reception candidate opportunities for slot n-2. The size of the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook can be determined according to the number of PDSCH reception candidate opportunities. The actual number of bits per PDSCH reception candidate opportunity can be determined according to the number of transport blocks included in each PDSCH, the number of code block groups (CBGs) included in each PDSCH, and spatial bundling settings.

[0380] FIG. 12 is a diagram schematically illustrating a design flowchart of a conventional semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook according to the present disclosure.

[0381] For convenience, the flowchart of Fig. 12 assumes that the set of K1 values ​​includes one K1 value, and the index k (the index corresponding to the K1 set) is omitted. In addition, this flowchart is for a case where a terminal has the ability to receive two or more PDSCHs in a slot.

[0382] Referring to Fig. 12, the R set may include SLIVs set in the TDRA table. And j=0 and M A,c = can be set.

[0383] Referring to Figure 12, the terminal can continue performing the following process until the set R becomes an empty set.

[0384] As a first step, the terminal can find the SLIV x among the SLIVs included in the R set whose last symbol has the lowest index.

[0385] In the second process, the terminal can find SLIVs among the SLIVs included in the set R that overlap with the SLIV x in at least one symbol. If the index of the SLIV is r, b r =j can be set. And, r can be excluded from the R set.

[0386] If multiple SLIVs overlap with SLIV x, the above process can be performed for multiple SLIVs. That is, if the indices of the multiple SLIVs are r1, r2, b r1 =j, b r2 =j can be set. And, r1 and r2 can be excluded from the set R. Note that SLIV x always overlaps SLIV x, so b x =j is set, and x can be excluded from the R set.

[0387] In the third process, the terminal is a set M A,c j can be added to the set M A,c When j is added, the terminal can include the HARQ-ACK bit corresponding to j in the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook. The PDSCH corresponding to the HARQ-ACK bit corresponding to j is b r =j is a PDSCH scheduled with SLIV r that satisfies j. Then, j can be updated to j+1.

[0388] [Capability to receive multiple PDSCHs simultaneously]

[0389] FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a terminal capable of receiving only one PDSCH in one symbol of one carrier in a new radio (NR) system.

[0390] Referring to FIG. 13, a terminal may schedule multiple PDSCHs in a single symbol of a single carrier. For convenience, only two PDSCHs are illustrated in FIG. 13, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Even if multiple PDSCHs are scheduled in a single symbol of a single carrier, the terminal can only receive a single PDSCH, and thus may receive only one PDSCH and not receive other temporally overlapping PDSCHs. In other words, temporally overlapping PDSCHs may be dropped.

[0391] For example, if a PDSCH scheduled as a PDCCH and an SPS PDSCH overlap in at least one symbol, the terminal may receive the PDSCH scheduled as a PDCCH among the two PDSCHs. The SPS PDSCH may not be received (dropped).

[0392] As another example, if a low priority PDSCH and a high priority PDSCH overlap in at least one symbol, the terminal may receive the PDSCH with the higher priority among the two PDSCHs, and may not receive (drop) the PDSCH with the lower priority.

[0393] As another example, if the first SPS PDSCH and the second SPS PDSCH overlap in at least one symbol, the terminal may receive the SPS PDSCH corresponding to the lower SPS index among the two SPS PDSCHs, and may not receive (drop) the SPS PDSCH corresponding to the higher SPS index.

[0394] According to the present disclosure, a terminal can simultaneously receive multiple PDSCHs on a single carrier, a single cell, a single carrier set, or a single cell set, depending on the terminal's capabilities. Unless otherwise specified, the following description will be based on a single carrier; however, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and a single carrier may be interpreted to encompass a single cell, a single carrier set, or a single cell set.

[0395] More specifically, the number of PDSCHs that a terminal can receive simultaneously on one carrier is N. PDSCH can be determined. Here, N PDSCH If = 1, the terminal can receive at most one PDSCH per symbol in one carrier. That is, the terminal can receive different PDSCHs in different symbols in one carrier, but the terminal cannot receive different PDSCHs in the same symbol.

[0396] If N PDSCHIf >1, the terminal can receive two or more PDSCHs simultaneously in one symbol on one carrier. Furthermore, the terminal can receive N PDSCHs in one symbol on one carrier. PDSCH can receive N PDSCHs simultaneously. However, the terminal can receive N PDSCHs in one symbol on one carrier. PDSCH- PDSCHs exceeding the number of PDSCHs cannot be received simultaneously.

[0397] Referring to Figure 13, a terminal transmits N signals in one symbol on one carrier. PDSCH =If the terminal has the ability to receive two PDSCHs simultaneously, the terminal can receive two PDSCHs simultaneously in one symbol.

[0398] For example, if a PDSCH scheduled by a terminal as a PDCCH and an SPS PDSCH overlap in at least one symbol, the terminal can receive the PDSCH and the SPS PDSCH simultaneously.

[0399] As another example, if a low priority PDSCH and a high priority PDSCH overlap in at least one symbol, the terminal can receive the two PDSCHs simultaneously.

[0400] As another example, if the first SPS PDSCH and the second SPS PDSCH overlap in at least one symbol, the terminal can receive the two SPS PDSCHs simultaneously.

[0401] Figure 14 is a diagram illustrating PDSCHs that can be received simultaneously on multiple carriers.

[0402] Referring to FIG. 14, an NR terminal can report to a base station the number of carriers that support carrier aggregation as a terminal capability.

[0403] For example, a terminal may report 4 as the number of carriers that support carrier aggregation based on the terminal capability to the base station. The base station may set the number of carriers to use for carrier aggregation based on the terminal capability report from the terminal.

[0404] Here, when multiple carriers are configured for a terminal, the terminal must be able to simultaneously receive at least one PDSCH for each carrier. That is, when four carriers are configured for a terminal, the terminal must be able to simultaneously receive one PDSCH for each of the four carriers (a total of four PDSCHs).

[0405] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal may be configured with the number of PDSCHs that can be received in one symbol of multiple carriers (or carrier sets). For example, when a terminal reports a carrier set using four carriers as terminal capability to a base station, the terminal may report the number of PDSCHs that can be simultaneously received on the four carriers as terminal capability. This number may be greater than, less than, or equal to 4. If the terminal reports a value less than 4 (e.g., 2) to the base station as a terminal capability report, the terminal may receive up to 2 PDSCHs via the 4 carriers. The base station may schedule carrier aggregation and PDSCHs based on the terminal capability.

[0406] Referring to FIG. 14, the terminal can receive PDSCHs (the total number of PDSCHs is 2) on two carriers (carrier A, C) among four carriers (carrier A, B, C, D). In addition, the terminal can receive two PDSCHs on one carrier (carrier D). Furthermore, the terminal can receive two PDSCHs among four carriers (carrier A, B, C, D), and the PDSCHs can be received over multiple carriers. For example, a first PDSCH can be scheduled across carriers A and B, and a second PDSCH can be scheduled across carriers C and D. Such PDSCHs can be referred to as PDSCH over carriers.

[0407] [First embodiment: Ability to simultaneously receive multiple PDSCHs in one symbol and determination of simultaneously received PDSCHs]

[0408] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, when a terminal can simultaneously receive multiple PDSCHs, the number of multiple PDSCHs (N PDSCH ) can be designed according to the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook. This semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook can be called a new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0409] UE capability can be a set of terminal functions available to the terminal manufacturer, depending on the terminal implementation. When connecting to a cell, a terminal can report its capabilities to the base station. This can be referred to as a UE capability report. The base station can obtain the terminal capabilities of a terminal connected to its cell (RRC connected UE) through the UE's UE capability report.

[0410] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal may transmit one of the following terminal capabilities to a base station through a terminal capability report.

[0411] Terminal capabilities allow a terminal to report the maximum number of PDSCHs it can process in a single symbol. Processing here can refer to a series of processes in which the terminal receives a PDSCH and generates a HARQ-ACK indicating whether the PDSCH was successfully received.

[0412] For example, a terminal can report terminal capabilities to a terminal to determine if a symbol can be transmitted at most N times. PDSCH It can report that it can process N PDSCHs, and the base station can report to the terminal that it can process N PDSCHs in one symbol. PDSCH When scheduling PDSCH exceeding N, the terminal can schedule up to N PDSCH It may receive some PDSCHs and may not receive other PDSCHs.

[0413] For reference, N PDSCH can have at least one of the values ​​1, 2, 3, or 4.

[0414] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a base station transmits N symbols to a terminal. PDSCH PDSCH exceeding M (M>N) PDSCH ) When scheduling PDSCHs, the operation of the terminal may be at least one of the following.

[0415] In the first method, the terminal selects N out of M PDSCHs. PDSCH Select the PDSCH of the dog and the N PDSCH It can receive PDSCHs.

[0416] Here, the terminal selects N of M PDSCHs in time order. PDSCH can select N PDSCHs. More specifically, the terminal selects N scheduled for the earliest symbol in the time sequence of M PDSCHs. PDSCHA dog can be selected. The terminal can determine the indices of the symbols for which the PDSCH is scheduled in the slot. Here, the indices of the first or last symbol for which the PDSCH is scheduled can be determined. The terminal selects N symbols with the lowest index (the earliest symbol in time) among the indices of the symbols of the M PDSCHs. PDSCH The PDSCH can be selected, and the N PDSCH It can handle PDSCHs of dogs.

[0417] Here, N is the time order of DCI corresponding to M PDSCHs. PDSCH M PDSCHs can be selected. More specifically, among the DCIs corresponding to M PDSCHs, N corresponding to DCIs located later in time are selected. PDSCH The terminal can select the PDSCHs. The terminal can determine the index of the slot in which the DCI for scheduling the PDSCH (the DCI corresponding to the PDSCH) is located, or the index of the symbol within the slot. Here, the DCI can be received through the PDCCH, and the terminal can determine the index of the slot in which the PDCCH is received, or the index of the symbol in which the PDCCH is received within the slot (if the PDCCH has multiple symbols, the first symbol of the PDCCH or the last symbol of the PDCCH). The terminal can determine the N DCIs that are located later in time among the M DCIs corresponding to the PDSCHs. PDSCH The DCI of the dog can be determined. This is because when the base station schedules the terminal with the DCI later, the information contained in the PDSCH scheduled later may be more important.

[0418] Here, the terminal selects N of M PDSCHs in frequency order. PDSCH can select N PDSCHs. More specifically, the terminal selects N scheduled in the lowest PRB among M PDSCHs on the frequency axis. PDSCHA dog can be selected. The terminal can determine the index of the PRB for which the PDSCH is scheduled. Here, the index of the first (PRB with the lowest frequency) or the last (PRB with the highest frequency) PRB among the PRBs for which the PDSCH is scheduled can be determined. The terminal selects N PRBs with the lowest index (lowest in frequency axis) among the PRB indices of M PDSCHs. PDSCH The PDSCH can be selected, and the N PDSCH It can handle PDSCHs of dogs.

[0419] Here, the terminal is assigned N according to the index of the carrier to which the M PDSCHs belong. PDSCH M PDSCHs can be selected. More specifically, the terminal selects N scheduled in ascending order of the carrier index among the indices of the carriers to which the M PDSCHs belong. PDSCH A dog can be selected. The terminal can determine the index of the carrier on which the PDSCH is scheduled. Here, if there are multiple carriers on which the PDSCH is scheduled (i.e., PDSCH over carriers), the terminal can determine the index of one of the multiple carriers. Here, a lower index among the multiple carriers can be used. The terminal determines the N carrier with the lowest index among the M carrier indices of the PDSCHs. PDSCH The PDSCH can be selected, and the N PDSCH It can handle PDSCHs of dogs.

[0420] Here, the terminal will process N PDSCH When selecting a PDSCH, PDSCHs scheduled with DCI (Downlink control information) among M PDSCHs can be preferentially included. PDSCHs can be scheduled in two ways.

[0421] In the first method, the PDSCH can be scheduled with DCI. The terminal can receive the PDCCH, and the PDCCH can include DCI. The DCI can include scheduling information for the PDSCH. For reference, the DCI including the scheduling information for the PDSCH can be one of DCI format 1_0, DCI format 1_1, DCI format 1_2, and DCI format 1_3.

[0422] Second, PDSCHs can be periodically scheduled via higher-layer signals (e.g., RRC signals). These scheduled PDSCHs are called SPS PDSCHs. Unlike DCI-scheduled PDSCHs, SPS PDSCHs may not have a corresponding DCI. Therefore, the base station cannot dynamically control the scheduling information of SPS PDSCHs for UEs. Therefore, priority can be given to PDSCHs scheduled via DCIs that can be dynamically controlled via DCIs.

[0423] Here, the terminal will process N PDSCH When selecting a PDSCH, among the M PDSCHs, PDSCHs scheduled as upper-layer signals can be preferentially included. PDSCHs can be scheduled in two ways. In the case of an SPS PDSCH, it can include information that must be transmitted periodically. The information may be information that is absolutely necessary for a higher layer (e.g., application layer, etc.). In other words, the base station can transmit important information through the SPS PDSCH. Therefore, the SPS PDSCH can be prioritized.

[0424] Here, the terminal will process N PDSCHWhen selecting PDSCHs, PDSCHs with higher priorities among M PDSCHs may be preferentially included. The UE may determine the priority of each PDSCH. This priority may be dynamically indicated in the DCI scheduling the PDSCH or may be set in a higher layer signal (e.g., an RRC signal). The priority may be '0' or '1', where '0' may correspond to a PDSCH with a lower priority and '1' may correspond to a PDSCH with a higher priority. The UE may preferentially select PDSCHs with higher priorities among the M PDSCHs (i.e., PDSCHs with priorities corresponding to '1'). This is because PDSCHs with higher priorities can convey more important information.

[0425] Here, the terminal will process N PDSCH When selecting M PDSCHs, the terminal may select the DCI corresponding to the M PDSCHs based on the scrambled RNTI. That is, the terminal may preferentially include PDSCHs corresponding to DCI scrambled with a specific RNTI.

[0426] For example, DCI corresponding to PDSCH can be scrambled with C-RNTI, CS-RNTI, and MCS-C-RNTI. Here, MCS-C-RNTI is an RNTI used to transmit PDSCH with higher reliability, and CS-RNTI can be an RNTI used to activate or retransmit SPS PDSCH. The terminal can give priority to DCI scrambled with MCS-C-RNTI. That is, the terminal can preferentially select PDSCHs corresponding to DCI scrambled with MCS-C-RNTI.

[0427] And, the terminal can give priority to the DCI scrambled with C-RNTI. That is, the terminal can preferentially select the PDSCHs corresponding to the DCI scrambled with C-RNTI. The system information block can be transmitted on the PDSCH scheduled with the DCI scrambled with SI-RNTI. If there is a DCI scrambled with SI-RNTI, the terminal gives priority to the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI and selects N PDSCH It can be included in the PDSCH of the terminal. That is, the terminal can definitely receive the PDSCH including the system information block.

[0428] Here, the terminal will process N PDSCH When selecting M PDSCHs, the UE may preferentially select a PDSCH with a lower index among the M PDSCHs. In the case of an SPS PDSCH, a unique index may be assigned to the SPS PDSCH. For example, a higher layer signal (e.g., an RRC signal) that configures the SPS PDSCH may include a unique index for the SPS PDSCH. Different SPS PDSCHs in one symbol may correspond to different unique indices. That is, the UE may preferentially select SPS PDSCHs with lower indices. This allows the base station to prioritize reception of the SPS PDSCH by transmitting more important information to the SPS PDSCH with a lower index among the information transmitted to the SPS PDSCH.

[0429] The terminal, according to an implementation based on an embodiment, N PDSCH There are N PDSCHs to choose from. Here, selection according to implementation means that one selection method is not defined, but N is chosen according to the convenience of the terminal manufacturer. PDSCHWe have implemented a method for selecting a PDSCH. This implementation method can be determined by one or a combination of the methods described above.

[0430] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal selects N PDSCH Valid HARQ-ACK information of the PDSCHs can be transmitted to the base station. And, the unselected MN PDSCH Valid HARQ-ACK information for the PDSCHs may not be transmitted to the base station. In other words, the terminal may not transmit the HARQ-ACK information to the MN. PDSCH NACK is transmitted to the base station for the PDSCHs of the MN PDSCH HARQ-ACK information may not be transmitted for the PDSCHs of the terminal. If the terminal is MN PDSCH Even if an ACK is transmitted to the base station for each PDSCH, the base station may determine that the HARQ-ACK information of the PDSCHs is invalid. The base station determining that the PDSCHs are invalid may be equivalent to determining that they are NACKs.

[0431] In the second method, the terminal transmits N symbols to one symbol. PDSCH If more than N PDSCHs are scheduled, the terminal may not process the remaining PDSCHs except for a specific PDSCH in the symbol. Here, the number of specific PDSCHs is N PDSCH It doesn't have to be a dog, N PDSCH It can be equal to or less than . That is, the terminal can only receive the PDSCHs that it must receive. A specific PDSCH can be as follows.

[0432] A terminal can receive PDSCHs with higher priorities among PDSCHs scheduled in a symbol. The terminal may not receive PDSCHs with lower priorities among PDSCHs scheduled in a symbol. This can be performed when the number of high-priority PDSCHs is less than or equal to the maximum number of PDSCHs that the terminal can process in a symbol. This operation considers that the terminal only receives high-priority PDSCHs based on priorities, and thus the terminal can exclude some or all of the low-priority PDSCHs.

[0433] The terminal can receive PDSCHs scheduled with DCI scrambled with SI-RNTI among the PDSCHs scheduled in a symbol (e.g., PDSCHs including system information blocks). The terminal may not receive PDSCHs scheduled with DCI scrambled with other RNTIs. In other words, the terminal only receives PDSCHs that transmit the most important information.

[0434] A terminal can only receive PDSCHs scheduled with DCI among the PDSCHs scheduled in a symbol. The terminal may not receive SPS PDSCHs among the PDSCHs scheduled in a symbol. This can be done when the number of PDSCHs scheduled with DCI is less than or equal to the maximum number of PDSCHs that the terminal can process in a symbol. This can be applied under the assumption that the information transmitted with SPS PDSCH has a lower priority than the information included in the PDSCH scheduled with DCI.

[0435] A terminal can only receive SPS PDSCHs among the PDSCHs scheduled in a symbol. The terminal may not receive PDSCHs scheduled with DCI among the PDSCHs scheduled in a symbol. This can be done when the number of SPS PDSCHs is less than or equal to the maximum number of PDSCHs that the terminal can process in a symbol. This can be applied under the assumption that the information transmitted on the PDSCH scheduled with DCI has a lower priority than the information included in the SPS PDSCH.

[0436] The third method is for the terminal to transmit N symbols PDSCH If more than N PDSCHs are scheduled, the terminal may not process all PDSCHs in the symbol. That is, N PDSCHs in one symbol PDSCH If PDSCHs are scheduled in excess of the number of symbols, the terminal may not receive all PDSCHs scheduled for that symbol. In addition, the terminal may transmit a NACK to the base station with HARQ-ACK information for the PDSCHs.

[0437] This method may have an advantage in terms of terminal implementation, as when a base station requests a terminal to process a number of PDSCHs exceeding its terminal's capability in one symbol, the terminal ignores the scheduling of the base station that exceeds its terminal's capability. In the first and second methods, the terminal can process N PDSCHs in one symbol. PDSCH Although the process of selecting a PDSCH is required, the third method can reduce the implementation complexity of the terminal by not processing all scheduled PDSCHs.

[0438] In the method described above, the terminal can transmit up to N symbols according to the terminal capability. PDSCH The PDSCHs of the terminals are selected. Here, the terminals can transmit up to N symbols in one symbol with the terminal capability. PDSCH It is assumed that the terminal can process up to N PDSCHs. PDSCHEven though the base station can handle N PDSCHs in one symbol, the base station can PDSCH It can be set to process a smaller number of PDSCHs. The base station can set this to reduce the power consumption of the terminal. The base station can set this according to the base station scheduler implementation. That is, the base station can provide the terminal with up to K( <N PDSCH ) can be set to process PDSCHs. Here, K can be a value that can be set to the terminal by a higher layer signal (e.g., an RRC signal).

[0439] For example, a terminal may have up to N symbols PDSCH When a terminal transmits its capability to process 4 PDSCHs to a base station, the base station that has received the terminal capability can set K=2 to the terminal. In this case, the operation of the terminal can be changed to receive only up to K=2 PDSCHs in one symbol. In the method described above, the terminal can receive N PDSCH can be applied by replacing it with K.

[0440] [Example 2: HARQ-ACK Codebook Design for Simultaneous Reception of Multiple PDSCHs in One Symbol]

[0441] In the present disclosure, the number of PDSCHs that can be simultaneously received in one symbol of a terminal (N PDSCH ) is used to describe a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook design method.

[0442] Unless otherwise specified in this disclosure, N PDSCH =2 is assumed and described. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the present disclosure is not limited to any N PDSCH can be applied to.

[0443] Figure 15 is a diagram illustrating SLIVs included in a TDRA table set for a terminal.

[0444] Referring to FIG. 15, a terminal can obtain four SLIVs from the TDRA table, and the four SLIVs can occupy specific symbols within a slot. The four SLIVs can be referred to as SLIV0, SLIV1, SLIV2, and SLIV3.

[0445] Referring to Figure 15, the terminal simultaneously transmits N PDSCH =If 2 PDSCHs can be received, the terminal can receive PDSCHs scheduled in the following combination among the 4 SLIVs.

[0446] - Simultaneous reception of 1 PDSCH: {0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {0,2}

[0447] - Simultaneous reception of two PDSCHs: {0,1}, {0,3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {0,1,2}, {0,2,3}

[0448] Here, {x} represents a combination of receiving one PDSCH corresponding to SLIV x, {x,y} represents a combination of simultaneously receiving two PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV x and SLIV y, and {x,y,z} represents a combination of simultaneously receiving three PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV x, SLIV y, and SLIV z. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal may be scheduled to have PDSCH(s) in one of 12 cases.

[0449] Figure 16 is a diagram illustrating the generation of a conventional semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0450] In the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook, simultaneous reception of multiple PDSCHs in a single symbol is not possible. That is, N PDSCH=1. In this case, the terminal can receive PDSCH with at least one combination of {0}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {0,2}, but cannot receive PDSCH with a combination of {0,1}, {0,3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {0,1,2}, {0,2,3}.

[0451] The existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook can be designed as follows. The existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook is described with reference to the flowchart in Fig. 12.

[0452] In the first step, the set R can contain four SLIVs, i.e., R = {0, 1, 2, 3}. And j = 0, M A,c = can be set to .

[0453] In the second step, the terminal can perform the following process until the set R becomes an empty set.

[0454] As a first step, the terminal can determine SLIV 0 with the smallest last symbol index among R={0,1,2,3} belonging to the set R.

[0455] As a second step, the terminal can determine SLIV 0, SLIV 1, and SLIV 3 among the SLIVs in the set R that overlap with SLIV 0. Then, it can determine b0=0, b1=0, and b3=0. Then, {0,1,3} can be excluded from R={0,1,2,3}. Therefore, R can be R={2}.

[0456] In the third step, the terminal is M A,c You can add {0} to M A,c ={0} can be. And j can be determined as 1.

[0457] Since the terminal R set is not an empty set, the following process can be performed.

[0458] As a first step, the terminal can determine SLIV 2 with the smallest last symbol index among R={2} belonging to the set R.

[0459] As a second step, the terminal can determine SLIV 2 among the SLIVs in the set R that overlaps with SLIV 2. Then, it can determine that b2 = 1. Then, {2} can be excluded from R = {2}. Therefore, R can be R = .

[0460] In the third process, the terminal is M A,c You can add {1} to M A,c ={0,1} can be determined. And j=2 can be determined.

[0461] Since the terminal's R set is an empty set, the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook generation can be terminated.

[0462] The terminal is M with the above operation A,c ={0,1} and b0=b1=b3=0, b2=1 can be obtained. That is, the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook can contain two HARQ-ACK bits. Here, the first HARQ-ACK bit is M A,c The first value of the set corresponds to 0, and the second HARQ-ACK bit corresponds to M A,c It corresponds to 1, the second value of the set. And M A,c The SLIV corresponding to the first value of the set, 0, is SLIV0 (b0=0), SLIV1 (b1=0), SLIV3 (b3=0), and M A,c The SLIV corresponding to the second value of the set, 1, can be SLIV2 (b2=1). This can be as shown in Table 25 below.

[0463] [Table 25]

[0464]

[0465] The terminal can receive a PDSCH corresponding to one of SLIVs among SLIV0, SLIV1, and SLIV3. And the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH is the first M A,c can be included in the corresponding HARQ-ACK bit position. Referring to Table 25, the ability of a terminal to receive multiple PDSCHs simultaneously (e.g., N PDSCH =2) Even if there is, HARQ-ACK bits for two PDSCHs corresponding to two SLIVs among SLIV0, SLIV1, and SLIV3 cannot be included in the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0466] The present disclosure provides a terminal with the ability to simultaneously receive a number of PDSCHs (e.g., N PDSCH =2) In this case, we describe how to design a new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0467] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal includes N in a new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook. PDSCH It can contain N sub-codebooks. For example, N PDSCH =2, the new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook may include the first sub-codebook and the second sub-codebook. If the terminal receives N in one symbol, PDSCH When receiving N PDSCHs, PDSCH The HARQ-ACK bits of the PDSCHs are N PDSCH It can be distributed across several sub-codebooks.

[0468] For example, if a terminal has N symbols in one symbol PDSCH=When two PDSCHs are received, the HARQ-ACK bit of the first PDSCH may be included in the first sub-codebook, and the HARQ-ACK bit of the second PDSCH may be distributed to the second sub-codebook. A method for determining the index of the sub-codebook in which the HARQ-ACK of the received PDSCH will be included will be described later.

[0469] FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 are flowcharts for generating a new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook including a first sub-codebook and a second sub-codebook according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0470] Referring to FIGS. 17 and 18, when the terminal generates the first sub-codebook, the first R set (R (1) ) can be used as a basis, and when generating the second sub-codebook, the second R set (R (2) ) can be used as a basis. The first R set (R (1) ) may include the first SLIV set included in the TDRA table, and the second R set (R (2) ) may include a second SLIV set included in the TDRA table.

[0471] The terminal is a first R set (R (1) ) is considered as the R set used in generating the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook of Fig. 12 (i.e., R = R (1) ), generate the first sub-codebook, and the second R set (R (2) ) is considered as the R set used in generating the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook of Fig. 12 (i.e., R = R (2) ), a second sub-codebook can be generated. The first sub-codebook and the second sub-codebook can be connected to generate a new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0472] That is, referring to Fig. 18, the first sub-codebook is R=R (1) Assuming that , the second sub-codebook is R=R (2) It can be assumed that the generation process of each sub-cobebook can be the same as the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook generation method of Fig. 12.

[0473] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first R set (R (1) ) and the second R set (R (2) ) can be equal to each other. That is, the first sub-codebook and the second sub-codebook can have the same size. The first sub-codebook and the second sub-codebook can have the same M A,c set and b r can have values, i.e., M corresponding to the i sub-codebook A,c Set M (i) A,c Let's call it a set, b r value b (i) r If it's a value, M (1) A,c = M (2) A,c and b (1) r=b (2) It could be r.

[0474] More specifically, referring to FIG. 16, the new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook of the terminal may be as shown in Table 26.

[0475] [Table 26]

[0476]

[0477] When a terminal receives two PDSCHs simultaneously, the receivable combinations can be one of {0,1}, {0,3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {0,1,2}, {0,2,3}.

[0478] For example, when receiving {0,1} (two PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV0 and SLIV1), the terminal may include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV0 in one sub-codebook (the first sub-codebook) and the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV1 in another sub-codebook (the second sub-codebook).

[0479] For another example, when receiving {0,3} (two PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV0 and SLIV3), the terminal may include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV0 in one sub-codebook (the first sub-codebook) and the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV3 in another sub-codebook (the second sub-codebook).

[0480] For another example, when receiving {1,2} (two PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV1 and SLIV2), the terminal can include the HARQ-ACK bits of the two PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV1 and SLIV2 in one sub-codebook (the first sub-codebook).

[0481] For another example, when receiving {2,3} (two PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV2 and SLIV3), the terminal may include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV2 in one sub-codebook (the first sub-codebook) and the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV3 in another sub-codebook (the second sub-codebook).

[0482] For another example, when receiving {0,1,2} (three PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV0, SLIV1, and SLIV2), the terminal may include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV0 and the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV2 in one sub-codebook (first sub-codebook), and include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV1 in another sub-codebook (second sub-codebook).

[0483] For another example, when receiving {0,2,3} (three PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV0, SLIV2, and SLIV3), the terminal may include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV0 and the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV2 in one sub-codebook (first sub-codebook), and include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV3 in another sub-codebook (second sub-codebook).

[0484] In the above example, the second HARQ-ACK bit (2) of the second sub-codebook nd M (2) A,c There may be no PDSCH corresponding to (j=1). That is, the HARQ-ACK bit may be included in the second sub-codebook but may not be used.

[0485] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first R set (R (1) ) and the second R set (R (2) ) may be different from each other.

[0486] More specifically, the terminal may be configured with multiple TDAR tables, and the first R set (R (1) ) includes the first SLIV set included in the first TDRA table, and the second R set (R(2) ) may include a second SLIV set included in the second TDRA table.

[0487] More specifically, the terminal may be configured with multiple TDAR tables, and the first R set (R (1) ) includes a first SLIV set included in the first TDRA table or the second TDRA table, and a second R set (R (2) ) may include a second SLIV set included in the second TDRA table.

[0488] More specifically, the terminal may be configured with multiple TDAR tables, and the first R set (R (1) ) includes the first SLIV set included in the first TDRA table, and the second R set (R (2) ) may include a second SLIV set included in the first TDRA table or the second TDRA table.

[0489] More specifically, the first R set (R (1) ) is a subset of a second R set (R (2) ) can be. That is, the second R set (R (2) ) is the size of the second sub-codebook generated by the first R set (R (1) ) may be smaller than or equal to the size of the first sub-codebook generated by the new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook. Therefore, the terminal can reduce the size of the new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook.

[0490] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a first R set (R (1) ) may include all SLIVs of the TDRA table. Therefore, the first sub-codebook may be the same as the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook. The method of generating the first sub-codebook may be the same as the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook. That is, R = R(1) Assuming that, the existing semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook can be generated according to the flowchart of Fig. 12 and assumed as the first sub-codebook.

[0491] FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 are flowcharts for generating a new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook including a first sub-codebook and a second sub-codebook according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0492] Here, the second R set (R) used to generate the second sub-codebook (2) ) is the first R set (R) used to generate the first sub-codebook. (1) ) may be a subset of.

[0493] The second R set (R) used in the second sub-codebook (2) ) may include only some SLIVs from the TDRA table. More specifically, the second R set ( (2) ) contains all SLIVs of the TDRA table, and the terminal creates the second R set (R) in the process of creating the first sub-cobebook. (2) ) can determine the second SLIV sets included in the second R set (R). More specifically, in the process of generating the first sub-cobebook, the terminal selects the SLIVs selected in the first process of the second step as the second R set (R (2) ) may be excluded.

[0494] Referring to FIG. 20, a method for generating a new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook of a terminal is as follows.

[0495] In step 0, the terminal retrieves a first R set (R) containing a first SLIV set from the TDRA table. (1) ) and a second R set (R) containing the second SLIV set from the TDRA table. (1)) can be generated. According to the present disclosure, the first SLIV set and the second SLIV set can include all SLIVs of the TDRA table.

[0496] The terminal can generate the first sub-codebook as follows.

[0497] The set R is the first R set (R (1) ) can be set to R = R (1) . and j=0 and M (1) A,c = can be set.

[0498] The terminal can continue performing the following process until the set R becomes an empty set.

[0499] As a first step, the terminal can find the SLIV x with the lowest index of the last symbol among the SLIVs included in the R set. And the SLIV x is included in the second R set (R (2) ) may be excluded.

[0500] As a second step, the terminal can find SLIVs among the SLIVs included in the set R that overlap with the SLIV x in at least one symbol. If the index of the SLIV is r, b (1) r =j can be set. And, r can be excluded from the R set.

[0501] If multiple SLIVs overlap with SLIV x, the above process can be performed for multiple SLIVs. That is, if the indices of the multiple SLIVs are r1, r2, b (1) r1 =j, b (1) r2 =j can be set. And, r1 and r2 can be excluded from the set R. Note that SLIV x always overlaps SLIV x, so b (1) x =j is set, and x can be excluded from the R set.

[0502] In the third step, the terminal is a set M (1) A,c j can be added to the set M (1) A,c When j is added, the terminal can include the HARQ-ACK bit corresponding to j in the first sub-codebook. The PDSCH corresponding to the HARQ-ACK bit corresponding to j is b (1) r =j is a PDSCH scheduled with SLIV r that satisfies j. Then, j can be updated to j+1.

[0503] If the terminal R set is an empty set, the terminal can generate the second sub-codebook as follows.

[0504] The set R is a second set R (R (2) ) can be set to R = R (2) . and j=0 and M (2) A,c = can be set.

[0505] The terminal can continue performing the following process until the set R becomes an empty set.

[0506] As a first step, the terminal can find the SLIV x among the SLIVs included in the set R whose last symbol has the lowest index.

[0507] As a second step, the terminal can find SLIVs among the SLIVs included in the set R that overlap with the SLIV x in at least one symbol. If the index of the SLIV is r, b (2) r =j can be set. And, r can be excluded from the R set.

[0508] If multiple SLIVs overlap with SLIV x, the above process can be performed for multiple SLIVs. That is, if the indices of the multiple SLIVs are r1, r2, b(2) r1 =j, b (2) r2 =j can be set. And, r1 and r2 can be excluded from the set R. Note that SLIV x always overlaps SLIV x, so b (2) x =j is set, and x can be excluded from the R set.

[0509] In the third step, the terminal is a set M (2) A,c j can be added to the set M (2) A,c When j is added, the terminal can include the HARQ-ACK bit corresponding to j in the second sub-codebook. The PDSCH corresponding to the HARQ-ACK bit corresponding to j is b (2) r =j is a PDSCH scheduled with SLIV r that satisfies j. Then, j can be updated to j+1.

[0510] If the set R is an empty set, the terminal can generate a new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook by combining the first sub-codebook and the second sub-codebook.

[0511] FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating generation of a new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0512] More specifically, FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating generating a new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook using the flowchart of FIG. 20.

[0513] In step 0, the first R set (R(1)) may include {0,1,2,3}, and the second R set (R(2)) may include {0,1,2,3}.

[0514] The terminal can generate the first sub-codebook as follows.

[0515] In the first step, the set R is the first R set (R (1) ={0,1,2,3}) can be set. That is, R=R (1) ={0,1,2,3}. And j=0 and M (1) A,c = can be set.

[0516] In the second step, the terminal can perform the following process until the set R becomes an empty set.

[0517] As a first step, the terminal can determine SLIV 0 with the smallest last symbol index among R={0,1,2,3} belonging to the set R. And SLIV 0 is a second R set (R (2) ) can be excluded. That is, the second R set (R (2) ) is R (2) ={1,2,3} can be.

[0518] As a second step, the terminal can determine SLIV 0, SLIV 1, and SLIV 3 among the SLIVs in the R set that overlap with SLIV 0. And b (1) 0=0, b (1) 1=0, b (1) We can determine that 3=0. And, we can exclude {0,1,3} from R={0,1,2,3}. Therefore, R can be R={2}.

[0519] In the third step, the terminal is M (1) A,c You can add {0} to M (1) A,c ={0} can be. And j can be determined as 1.

[0520] Since the terminal R set is not an empty set, the following process can be performed.

[0521] As a first step, the terminal can determine SLIV 2 with the smallest last symbol index among R={2} belonging to the set R. And SLIV 2 is a second R set (R (2)) can be excluded. That is, the second R set (R (2) ) is R (2) ={1,3} can be.

[0522] As a second step, the terminal can determine SLIV 2 that overlaps with SLIV 2 among SLIVs in the R set. And b (1) We can determine that 2=1. And, we can exclude {2} from R={2}. Therefore, R can be R=.

[0523] In the third step, the terminal is M (1) A,c You can add {1} to M (1) A,c ={0,1} can be determined. And j=2 can be determined.

[0524] Since the terminal R set is an empty set, the generation of the first sub-codebook is terminated and the generation of the second sub-codebook can be performed.

[0525] In the first step, the set R is divided into a second set R (R (2) ={1,3}) can be set, i.e. R=R (2) ={1,3}. And j=0 and M (2) A,c = can be set.

[0526] In the second step, the terminal can perform the following process until the set R becomes an empty set.

[0527] As a first step, the terminal can determine SLIV 1 with the smallest last symbol index among R={1,3} belonging to the set R.

[0528] As a second step, the terminal can determine SLIV 1 and SLIV 3 among the SLIVs in the R set that overlap with SLIV 1. And b (2) 1=0, b (2)We can determine that 3=0. And, we can exclude {1,3} from R={1,3}. Therefore, R can be R=.

[0529] In the third step, the terminal is M (2) A,c You can add {0} to M (2) A,c ={0} can be. And j can be determined as 1.

[0530] Since the terminal's set R is an empty set, the generation of the second sub-codebook can be terminated. Then, a new semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook can be generated by combining the first sub-codebook and the second sub-codebook.

[0531] The terminal performs the above operation, M corresponding to the first sub-codebook (1) A,c ={0,1} and b (1) 0=b (1) 1=b (1) 3=0, b (1) 2=1 can be obtained. That is, the first sub-codebook can contain two HARQ-ACK bits. Here, the first HARQ-ACK bit is M (1) A,c The first value of the set corresponds to 0, and the second HARQ-ACK bit corresponds to M (1) A,c It corresponds to 1, the second value of the set. And M (1) A,c The SLIV corresponding to 0, the first value in the set, is SLIV0 (b (1) 0=0), SLIV1(b (1) 1=0), SLIV3(b (1) 3=0), and M (1) A,c The SLIV corresponding to 1, the second value of the set, is SLIV2 (b (1) 2=1) can be.

[0532] The terminal performs the above operation and M corresponding to the second sub-codebook (2) A,c ={0} and b (1) 1=b (1) 3=0 can be obtained. That is, the second sub-codebook can contain one HARQ-ACK bit. Here, the HARQ-ACK bit is M (2) A,c It corresponds to 0, which is one value of the set. And M (1) A,c SLIV corresponding to 0, which is one value of the set, is SLIV1 (b (2) 1=0), SLIV3(b (2) 3=0) can be. This can be as shown in Table 27.

[0533] [Table 27]

[0534]

[0535] When a terminal receives two PDSCHs simultaneously, the receivable combinations can be one of {0,1}, {0,3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {0,1,2}, {0,2,3}.

[0536] For example, when receiving {0,1} (two PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV0 and SLIV1), the terminal may include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV0 in one sub-codebook (the first sub-codebook) and include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV1 in another sub-codebook (the second sub-codebook).

[0537] For another example, when receiving {0,3} (two PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV0 and SLIV3), the terminal may include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV0 in one sub-codebook (the first sub-codebook) and the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV3 in another sub-codebook (the second sub-codebook).

[0538] For another example, when receiving {1,2} (two PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV1 and SLIV2), the terminal can include the HARQ-ACK bits of the two PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV1 and SLIV2 in one sub-codebook (the first sub-codebook).

[0539] For another example, when receiving {2,3} (two PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV2 and SLIV3), the terminal may include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV2 in one sub-codebook (the first sub-codebook) and the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV3 in another sub-codebook (the second sub-codebook).

[0540] For another example, when receiving {0,1,2} (three PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV0, SLIV1, and SLIV2), the terminal may include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV0 and the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV2 in one sub-codebook (the first sub-codebook), and include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV1 in another sub-codebook (the second sub-codebook).

[0541] For another example, when receiving {0,2,3} (three PDSCHs corresponding to SLIV0, SLIV2, and SLIV3), the terminal may include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV0 and the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV2 in one sub-codebook (first sub-codebook), and include the HARQ-ACK bit of the PDSCH corresponding to SLIV3 in another sub-codebook (second sub-codebook).

[0542] Comparing Table 26 and Table 27, in Table 26, the terminal receives the second HARQ-ACK bit (2) of the second sub-codebook. nd M (2) A,c There may be no PDSCH corresponding to (j=1). That is, the HARQ-ACK bit may be included in the second sub-codebook but may not be used. However, in Table 27, the second HARQ-ACK bit may not be included in the second sub-codebook. That is, the HARQ-ACK codebook of Table 27 may include lower bits than the HARQ-ACK codebook of Table 26.

[0543] Referring to Table 26 and Table 27, when a terminal receives one PDSCH, the SLIV corresponding to the PDSCH may be included in multiple sub-codebooks. For example, when the SLIV corresponding to the received PDSCH is SLIV 1, the HARQ-ACK bit of SLIV 1 is the first HARQ-ACK bit (b) of the first sub-codebook. (1) 1=0) or the first HARQ-ACK bit (b) of the second sub-codebook (2) 1=0). Therefore, a method may be needed to determine a sub-codebook in which the terminal will include the HARQ-ACK bit of the received PDSCH.

[0544] The terminal receives the PDSCH as N PDSCH It is necessary to determine which of the sub-codebooks corresponds to which sub-codebook. For example, if the terminal receives a PDSCH in slot n-k1_0, the terminal must determine which sub-codebook corresponds to which sub-codebook. PDSCH It must be determined which of the sub-codebooks corresponds to the received PDSCH. The terminal can determine the sub-codebook corresponding to the received PDSCH using at least one of the following methods.

[0545] The terminal may indicate the index of the corresponding sub-codebook in the DCI scheduling the PDSCH. More specifically, the DCI scheduling the PDSCH may include a bit field indicating the sub-codebook index. The length of the bit field is ceiling(log2(N PDSCH )) can be determined. The terminal can obtain the index of the sub-codebook corresponding to the scheduled PDSCH from the bit field of the DCI scheduling the PDSCH.

[0546] For example, N PDSCH =4, the length of the bit field can be determined as 2 bits. If it is 00, the index of the corresponding sub-codebook is 0 (the first sub-codebook), if it is 01, the index of the corresponding sub-codebook is 1 (the second sub-codebook), if it is 10, the index of the corresponding sub-codebook is 2 (the third sub-codebook), and if it is 11, the index of the corresponding sub-codebook is 3 (the fourth sub-codebook).

[0547] For reference, N PDSCHIf =1, the DCI may not include a bit field (i.e., the length of the bit field is 0 bits). In this case, the sub-codebook index corresponding to the scheduled PDSCH may be 0 (the sub-codebook may not be defined in the first sub-codebook or the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook).

[0548] The bit field may not be included in the DCI scheduling the PDSCH. For example, in the case of DCI formats 1_1, 1_2, to 1_3, the bit field may be included in the DCI, but in the case of DCI format 1_0, the bit field may not be included. For reference, when the UE monitors DCI format 1_0 in the common search space, the DCI format 1_0 may not include the bit field, and when the UE monitors DCI format 1_0 in the UE-specific search space, the DCI format 1_0 may not include the bit field. In addition, the base station may not set the bit field to reduce the overhead of the DCI. This may be set separately for each DCI format. Therefore, one or more DCI formats among DCI formats 1_1, 1_2, to 1_3 may not include the bit field. In this case, the sub-codebook index corresponding to the scheduled PDSCH can be determined by at least one of the first to ninth methods below.

[0549] In the first method, for PDSCH scheduled by DCI that does not include a bit field, the terminal can always assume a specific sub-codebook index.

[0550] For example, a terminal may assume that the index of a PDSCH scheduled by a DCI that does not include a bit field is 0.

[0551] As another example, the terminal may specify the index of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI that does not include a bit field as N. PDSCH We can assume it is -1.

[0552] As another example, the base station can set an index to assume for the terminal. That is, the base station can assume a specific index (e.g., index 2) set as the index of the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI that does not include a bit field.

[0553] In a second method, the index of the sub-codebook can be determined according to the time domain allocation information of the scheduled PDSCH.

[0554] For example, DCI may include a field indicating time domain allocation information of a PDSCH. This field may be called a Time domain resource assignment (TDRA) field. The TDRA field may include a TDRA table index. An entry in the TDRA table corresponding to the TDRA table index includes information on slots or symbols for which the PDSCH is scheduled. The terminal may obtain or calculate an index of a sub-codebook based on the indicated TDRA table index.

[0555] For example, when the TDRA table index indicated in DCI is i, the index of the corresponding sub-codebook is (i mod N PDSCH ) or ((i-1) mod N PDSCH ) can be determined as (i mod N PDSCH ) can be used when the index of the TDRA table starts from 0, and (i-1 mod N PDSCH) can be used when the index of the TDRA table starts from 1.

[0556] Alternatively, an index of a sub-codebook corresponding to a TDRA table index may be set in a higher layer signal (e.g., an RRC signal). For example, index 0 of the sub-codebook may be set in the first TDRA row, and index 1 of the sub-codebook may be set in the second TDRA row.

[0557] In a third method, the index of the sub-codebook can be determined according to the symbol index of the scheduled PDSCH.

[0558] For example, the terminal may determine a symbol index based on a symbol of one of the scheduled PDSCHs. For example, the terminal may determine a symbol index based on an index of a start symbol of the PDSCH or an index of a last symbol of the PDSCH. The symbol index is a symbol index within a slot, and the first symbol of the slot may be 0 and the last symbol of the slot may be 13. When the symbol index of the PDSCH scheduled to the terminal is i, the index of the corresponding sub-codebook is (i mod N PDSCH ) can be determined. In another way, when the symbol index of the PDSCH scheduled to the terminal is i, if i is included in a specific symbol index section, it can be determined as a specific sub-codebook index.

[0559] For example, N PDSCHIn this case, if i is included in the symbol index interval {0~A0}, the corresponding sub-codebook index is 0, and if i is included in the symbol index interval {A0+1~A1}, the corresponding sub-codebook index is 1. If i is included in the symbol index interval {A1+1~A2}, the corresponding sub-codebook index is 2, and if i is included in the symbol index interval {A2+1~13}, the corresponding sub-codebook index can be 3. Here, 0≤A0 <A1<A2≤13일 수 있다. 여기서 A0=3, A1=6, A2=10 또는 A0=2, A1=6, A2=9 또는 A0=3, A1=6, A2=9 또는 A0=2, A1=6, A2=10일 수 있다. 또한, A0, A1, A2는 기지국으로부터 단말에게 설정될 수 있다.

[0560] In a fourth method, the index of the sub-codebook can be determined according to the PRB index of the scheduled PDSCH.

[0561] For example, the terminal may determine the PRB index based on one of the PRBs among the scheduled PDSCHs. For example, the terminal may determine the PRB index based on the index of the start PRB of the PDSCH or the index of the last PRB of the PDSCH. In this case, the start PRB of the PDSCH may refer to the lowest PRB on the frequency axis, and the last PRB of the PDSCH may refer to the highest PRB on the frequency axis.

[0562] When the PRB index of the PDSCH scheduled to the terminal is i, the index of the corresponding sub-codebook is (i mod N PDSCH ) can be determined. In another way, when the PRB index of the PDSCH scheduled to the terminal is i, if i is included in a specific PRB index section, it can be determined as a specific sub-codebook index.

[0563] For example, N PDSCHIn this case, if i is included in the PRB index interval {0~A0}, the corresponding sub-codebook index is 0, and if i is included in the PRB index interval {A0+1~A1}, the corresponding sub-codebook index can be 1. If i is included in the PRB index interval {A1+1~A2}, the corresponding sub-codebook index can be 2, and if i is included in the PRB index interval {A2+1~13}, the corresponding sub-codebook index can be 3. Here, 0≤A0 <A1<A2≤13일 수 있다. 또한, A0, A1, A2는 기지국으로부터 단말에게 설정될 수 있다.

[0564] In the fifth method, the index of the sub-codebook can be determined according to the carrier index of the scheduled PDSCH. For example, the terminal can determine the carrier index based on the index of the carrier to which the scheduled PDSCH belongs. For example, when the PDSCH is received across multiple carriers (PDSCH over carrier), the terminal can determine the index of one of the multiple carriers. For example, the lowest carrier index can be used. When the carrier index of the PDSCH scheduled to the terminal is i, the corresponding sub-codebook index is (i mod N PDSCH ) can be determined.

[0565] In another way, when the carrier index of the PDSCH scheduled to the terminal is i, if i is included in a specific PRB index section, it can be determined as a specific sub-codebook index. For example, N PDSCHIn this case, if i is included in the carrier index interval {0~A0}, the corresponding sub-codebook index is 0, and if i is included in the carrier index interval {A0+1~A1}, the corresponding sub-codebook index can be 1. If i is included in the carrier index interval {A1+1~A2}, the corresponding sub-codebook index can be 2, and if i is included in the carrier index interval {A2+1~13}, the corresponding sub-codebook index can be 3. Here, 0≤A0 <A1<A2≤13일 수 있다. 또한, A0, A1, A2는 기지국으로부터 단말에게 설정될 수 있다.

[0566] As another example, the terminal may receive from the base station a configuration of a connection relationship between a carrier index and an index of a sub-codebook. For example, if the carrier index of the PDSCH is included in a first set (e.g., 0, 2), the sub-codebook index corresponding to the PDSCH may be a first value (e.g., 0), and if the carrier index of the PDSCH is included in a second set (e.g., 1, 3), the sub-codebook index corresponding to the PDSCH may be a second value (e.g., 1). The configuration may be transmitted through a higher layer signal (e.g., an RRC signal).

[0567] In a sixth method, an index can be determined according to time information at which a scheduling DCI is transmitted. For example, a terminal can determine an index of a sub-codebook corresponding to a PDSCH scheduled by a DCI based on an index of a slot in which a DCI for which a PDSCH is scheduled is transmitted. Here, the scheduling DCI can be transmitted through a PDCCH. The index of a slot in which a DCI is transmitted means a slot in which a PDCCH including the DCI is received. When the index of the slot is i, the terminal determines the index of the corresponding sub-codebook as (i mod N PDSCH ) can be determined. That is, the terminal can schedule the PDSCH through DCI transmitted in each slot to make the sub-codebook index of each PDSCH different.

[0568] In the seventh method, an index can be determined according to frequency information on which scheduling DCI is transmitted. For example, a terminal can determine an index of a sub-codebook corresponding to a PDSCH scheduled by a DCI based on the indexes of CCEs (or PRBs) to which a PDCCH including a DCI for scheduling a PDSCH is mapped. Here, the number of CCEs (or PRBs) to which a PDCCH is mapped may be one or more. If there are multiple CCEs (or PRBs) to which a PDCCH is mapped, a CCE (or PRB) with the lowest index can be used. When the index of the CCE (or PRB) is i, the terminal determines the index of the corresponding sub-codebook as (i mod N PDSCH ) can be determined. That is, the terminal can schedule the PDSCH through DCI transmitted in different CCEs (or PRBs) to make the sub-codebook index of each PDSCH different.

[0569] In the eighth method, the index of the sub-codebook can be determined according to the index of the CORESET or search space in which the scheduling DCI is transmitted. For example, the terminal can determine the index of the sub-codebook corresponding to the PDSCH scheduled by the DCI based on the index of the CORESET or search space in which the PDCCH including the DCI for which the PDSCH is scheduled is monitored. For reference, the PDCCH can be repeatedly transmitted in two linked search spaces. In this case, the index of the sub-codebook can be determined based on one search space (e.g., the search space with a lower index). When the index of the CORESET or search space is i, the index of the corresponding sub-codebook is (i mod N PDSCH ) can be determined. That is, the terminal can schedule the PDSCH through DCI transmitted in different CORESETs or search spaces to make the sub-codebook index of each PDSCH different.

[0570] As another example, the terminal may receive from the base station a configuration of a link relationship between a CORESET or search space index (or an index associated with the CORESET or search space index) and an index of a sub-codebook. For example, if the CORESET or search space index (or an index associated with the CORESET or search space index) of a DCI scheduling a PDSCH is included in a first set (e.g., 0, 2), the sub-codebook index corresponding to the PDSCH may be a first value (e.g., 0), and if the CORESET or search space index (or an index associated with the CORESET or search space index) of a DCI scheduling a PDSCH is included in a second set (e.g., 1, 3), the sub-codebook index corresponding to the PDSCH may be a second value (e.g., 1). The configuration may be transmitted through a higher layer signal (e.g., an RRC signal).

[0571] In the ninth method, a sub-codebook index can be determined based on the value of the HARQ process number field of the scheduling DCI. The DCI for scheduling a PDSCH can include a field indicating the HARQ process number of the scheduled PDSCH. Based on the field, the terminal can obtain the HARQ process number of the scheduled PDSCH. When the obtained HARQ process number is i, the corresponding sub-codebook index is (i mod N PDSCH ) can be determined. That is, the terminal can have different sub-codebook indices of PDSCHs scheduled with different HARQ process numbers.

[0572] As another example, the terminal may receive from the base station a connection relationship between the HARQ process number and the index of the sub-codebook. For example, if the HARQ process number corresponding to the PDSCH is included in the first set (e.g., 0, 2), the sub-codebook index corresponding to the PDSCH may be the first value (e.g., 0), and if the HARQ process number corresponding to the PDSCH is included in the second set (e.g., 1, 3), the sub-codebook index corresponding to the PDSCH may be the second value (e.g., 1). The configuration may be conveyed through a higher layer signal (e.g., an RRC signal). Although described herein using the HARQ process number field, the sub-codebook index may be determined based on the values ​​of other fields included in the DCI, such as TPC command for PUCCH, MCS, and RV.

[0573] A terminal may be configured to receive an SPS PDSCH in a slot. The HARQ-ACK bit of the SPS PDSCH may be included in a HARQ-ACK codebook. To include the HARQ-ACK bit of the SPS PDSCH in the HARQ-ACK codebook, the terminal must determine the index of the sub-codebook corresponding to the SPS PDSCH. The method for this is as follows.

[0574] In a first method, the index of the sub-codebook can be set in the SPS PDSCH configuration. The terminal can receive this SPS PDSCH configuration through a higher layer signal (e.g., an RRC signal) of the base station. The index of the sub-codebook corresponding to the SPS PDSCH received according to the SPS PDSCH configuration can always be the index set above.

[0575] As a second method, the index of the sub-codebook may be indicated in the DCI that activates the SPS PDSCH. For example, the DCI that activates the SPS PDSCH may include a bit field that indicates the index of the corresponding sub-codebook. The index of the sub-codebook indicated in the bit field may be commonly applied to all SPS PDSCHs activated by the DCI. For reference, if the DCI that activates the SPS PDSCH does not include a bit field, the UE may obtain or calculate the index of the sub-codebook corresponding to the SPS PDSCH using the methods described above for the case where the DCI does not include a bit field.

[0576] FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating the structure of a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0577] Referring to FIG. 22, the terminal may include a transceiver, which refers to a terminal receiving unit (2200) and a terminal transmitting unit (2210), a memory (not shown), and a terminal processing unit (2205, or a terminal control unit or processor). Depending on the communication method of the terminal described above, the transceiver units (2200, 2210), the memory, and the terminal processing unit (2205) of the terminal may operate. However, the components of the terminal are not limited to the examples described above. For example, the terminal may include more or fewer components than the components described above. In addition, the transceiver unit, the memory, and the processor may be implemented in the form of a single chip.

[0578] A transceiver unit can transmit and receive signals with a base station or other terminals. The signals may include control information and data. To this end, the transceiver unit may include an RF transmitter that up-converts and amplifies the frequency of a transmitted signal, and an RF receiver that low-noise amplifies and down-converts the frequency of a received signal. However, this is only one embodiment of the transceiver unit, and the components of the transceiver unit are not limited to the RF transmitter and RF receiver.

[0579] Additionally, the transceiver can receive a signal through a wireless channel and output it to the processor, and transmit a signal output from the processor through the wireless channel.

[0580] Memory can store programs and data necessary for the terminal's operation. Furthermore, memory can store control information or data included in signals transmitted and received by the terminal. Memory can be comprised of a storage medium, such as ROM, RAM, a hard disk, CD-ROM, or DVD, or a combination of such storage media. Furthermore, there can be multiple memories.

[0581] Additionally, the processor can control a series of processes to enable the terminal to operate according to the aforementioned embodiments. For example, the processor can receive DCI consisting of two layers and control components of the terminal to simultaneously receive multiple PDSCHs.
