Abstract

The present invention comprises a higher-layer processing unit that receives a first higher-layer parameter and a second higher-layer parameter. The present invention comprises a reception unit that receives a PDCCH in which DCI is placed. A first TCI state or a second TCI state is mapped to a TCI code point of the DCI, and when the TCI code point is received, both, or one, of the first TCI state and the second TCI state mapped to the TCI code point are updated. The second higher-layer parameter is configured in one, or both, of the first TCI state and the second TCI state. The first higher-layer parameter is for configuring a unified TCI state. When the first higher-layer parameter is configured, and the first TCI and the second TCI state are retained, and asymmetricTRP is configured, it is expected that the second higher-layer parameter in the first TCI state is not configured and that the second higher-layer parameter in the second TCI state is configured. When the first higher-layer parameter is configured, and the first TCI and the second TCI state are retained, and asymmetricTRP is not configured, it is not expected that the second higher-layer parameter in the first TCI state is configured or that the second higher-layer parameter in the second TCI state is configured.

Furthermore, the antenna unit 11 included in the wireless transmitter 10a and the antenna unit 11 included in the wireless receiver 10b may have the same or different device configurations.

[0079] For example, the radio transmitting unit 10a may generate and transmit a baseband signal of a PRACH. For example, the radio transmitting unit 10a may generate and transmit a baseband signal of a PUCCH. The radio transmitting unit 10a may generate and transmit a baseband signal of a PUSCH. For example, the radio transmitting unit 10a may generate and transmit a baseband signal of a PUCCH DMRS.

The radio resource control layer processing unit 16 sets the RRC parameters based on an RRC message received from the base station device 3.

[0084] The wireless transceiver 10 (or the wireless transmitter 10a) performs processes such as modulation and encoding.

[0087] The baseband unit 13 converts the analog signal input from the RF unit 12 into a digital signal. The baseband unit 13 removes a portion corresponding to a cyclic prefix (CP) from the converted digital signal, and performs a fast Fourier transform (FFT) on the signal from which the CP has been removed to extract a signal in the frequency domain.

The baseband unit 13 outputs the converted analog signals to the RF unit 12.

[0089] The RF unit 12 uses a low-pass filter to remove unnecessary frequency components from the analog signal input from the baseband unit 13, upconverts the analog signal to a carrier frequency, and transmits the signal via the antenna unit 11. The RF unit 12 may also have a function to control transmission power. The RF unit 12 is also referred to as a transmission power control unit.

The terminal device 1 may recognize the downlink BWP in which the PUSCH is arranged by detecting DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling the PDSCH.

[0161] The DCI format 1_1 that does not include a BWP field may be a DCI format for scheduling a PDSCH without changing the active downlink BWP. The terminal device 1 may recognize that it will receive the PDSCH without switching the active downlink BWP based on detecting the DCI format 1_1 that is used for scheduling a PDSCH and does not include a BWP field.

[0162] If DCI format 1_1 includes a BWP field but the terminal device 1 does not support the BWP switching function using DCI format 1_1, the BWP field may be ignored by the terminal device 1. In other words, a terminal device 1 that does not support the BWP switching function may recognize that it will receive the PDSCH without switching the active downlink BWP based on detecting DCI format 1_1 that is used for PDSCH scheduling and includes a BWP field. Here, if the terminal device 1 supports the BWP switching function, it may report that "the terminal device 1 supports the BWP switching function" in the RRC layer capability information reporting procedure.

[0163] When DCI format 1_1 includes a carrier indicator field, the carrier indicator field may be used to indicate a downlink component carrier on which a PDSCH is arranged. When DCI format 1_1 does not include a carrier indicator field, the downlink component carrier on which a PDSCH is arranged may be the same as a downlink component carrier on which a PDCCH including DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling the PDSCH is arranged. When the number of downlink component carriers configured in the terminal device 1 in a certain serving cell group is two or more (when downlink carrier aggregation is operated in a certain serving cell group), the number of bits of the carrier indicator field included in DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling the PDSCH arranged in the certain serving cell group may be one bit or more (for example, three bits). When the number of downlink component carriers configured for a terminal device 1 in a certain serving cell group is 1 (when downlink carrier aggregation is not operated in a certain serving cell group), the number of bits in the carrier indicator field included in DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling the PDSCH placed in the certain serving cell group may be 0 bits (or the carrier indicator field may not be included in DCI format 1_1 used for scheduling the PDSCH placed in the certain serving cell group).

[0164] The PDSCH may be transmitted to transmit a transport block. The PDSCH may be used to transmit a transport block delivered by the DL-SCH. The PDSCH may be used to transmit a transport block. A transport block may be allocated to the PDSCH. A transport block corresponding to the DL-SCH may be allocated to the PDSCH. The base station device 3 may transmit the PDSCH. The terminal device 1 may receive the PDSCH.

[0165] The downlink physical signal may correspond to a set of resource elements. The downlink physical signal does not need to carry information generated in a higher layer. The downlink physical signal may be a physical signal used in a downlink component carrier. The downlink physical signal may be transmitted by a base station device 3. The downlink physical signal may be transmitted by a terminal device 1. In a wireless communication system according to one aspect of the present embodiment, at least some or all of the following downlink physical signals may be used: Synchronization signal (SS) DL DMRS (DownLink Demodulation Reference Signal) CSI-RS (Channel State Information-Reference Signal) DL PTRS (DownLink Phase Tracking Reference Signal)

[0166] The synchronization signal may be used by the terminal device 1 to synchronize one or both of the frequency domain and the time domain of the downlink. The synchronization signal is a general term for a PSS (Primary Synchronization Signal) and an SSS (Secondary Synchronization Signal).

[0167] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an SS / PBCH block according to one aspect of this embodiment. In FIG. 7, the horizontal axis is the time axis (OFDM symbol index l sym ), where the vertical axis represents the frequency domain. Block 700 represents a set of resource elements for the PSS. Block 720 represents a set of resource elements for the SSS. Four blocks (blocks 710, 711, 712, and 713) represent sets of resource elements for the PBCH and DMRS for the PBCH (DMRS associated with the PBCH, DMRS included in the PBCH, and DMRS corresponding to the PBCH).

[0168] As shown in Figure 7, the SS / PBCH block includes a PSS, SSS, and PBCH. The SS / PBCH block includes four consecutive OFDM symbols. The SS / PBCH block includes 240 subcarriers. The PSS is allocated to the 57th to 183rd subcarriers in the first OFDM symbol. The SSS is allocated to the 57th to 183rd subcarriers in the third OFDM symbol. The 1st to 56th subcarriers in the first OFDM symbol may be set to zero. The 184th to 240th subcarriers in the first OFDM symbol may be set to zero. The 49th to 56th subcarriers in the third OFDM symbol may be set to zero. The 184th to 192nd subcarriers in the third OFDM symbol may be set to zero. The PBCH is allocated to the 1st to 240th subcarriers in the second OFDM symbol, which are subcarriers where the DMRS for the PBCH is not allocated. The PBCH is allocated to the 1st to 48th subcarriers of the third OFDM symbol, and to subcarriers where DMRS for the PBCH is not allocated. The PBCH is allocated to the 193rd to 240th subcarriers of the third OFDM symbol, and to subcarriers where DMRS for the PBCH is not allocated. The PBCH is allocated to the 1st to 240th subcarriers of the fourth OFDM symbol, and to subcarriers where DMRS for the PBCH is not allocated.

[0169] The antenna ports for the PSS, SSS, PBCH, and DMRS for the PBCH may be the same.

[0170] The PBCH on which the PBCH symbol is transmitted at a certain antenna port may be estimated by the DMRS for the PBCH that is placed in the slot to which the PBCH is mapped and is included in the SS / PBCH block to which the PBCH belongs.

[0171] DL DMRS is a general term for DMRS for PBCH, DMRS for PDSCH, and DMRS for PDCCH.

[0172] The set of antenna ports for DMRS for PDSCH (DMRS related to PDSCH, DMRS included in PDSCH, DMRS corresponding to PDSCH) may be determined based on the set of antenna ports for the PDSCH, i.e., the set of antenna ports for DMRS for PDSCH may be the same as the set of antenna ports for the PDSCH.

[0173] The transmission of the PDSCH and the transmission of the DMRS for the PDSCH may be indicated (or scheduled) by one DCI format. The PDSCH and the DMRS for the PDSCH may be collectively referred to as the PDSCH. Transmitting the PDSCH may also mean transmitting the PDSCH and the DMRS for the PDSCH.

[0174] A propagation path of a PDSCH may be estimated from a DMRS for the PDSCH. If a set of resource elements carrying a certain PDSCH symbol and a set of resource elements carrying a DMRS symbol for the PDSCH are included in the same precoding resource group (PRG), the PDSCH carrying the PDSCH symbol for a certain antenna port may be estimated by the DMRS for the PDSCH.

[0175] The antenna port of the DMRS for the PDCCH (DMRS related to the PDCCH, DMRS included in the PDCCH, DMRS corresponding to the PDCCH) may be the same as the antenna port for the PDCCH.

[0176] A PDCCH may be estimated from a DMRS for the PDCCH. That is, a propagation path of a PDCCH may be estimated from a DMRS for the PDCCH. If the same precoder is applied (or assumed to be applied) to a set of resource elements on which a certain PDCCH symbol is transmitted and a set of resource elements on which a DMRS symbol for the PDCCH is transmitted, the PDCCH on which the PDCCH symbol for a certain antenna port is transmitted may be estimated by the DMRS for the PDCCH.

[0177] The BCH (Broadcast CHannel), UL-SCH (Uplink-Shared CHannel), and DL-SCH (Downlink-Shared CHannel) are transport channels that define the relationship between physical layer channels and MAC layer channels (also called logical channels).

[0178] The BCH of the transport layer is mapped to the PBCH of the physical layer. That is, transport blocks carried on the BCH of the transport layer are delivered to the PBCH of the physical layer. The UL-SCH of the transport layer is mapped to the PUSCH of the physical layer. That is, transport blocks carried on the UL-SCH of the transport layer are delivered to the PUSCH of the physical layer. The DL-SCH of the transport layer is mapped to the PDSCH of the physical layer. That is, transport blocks carried on the DL-SCH of the transport layer are delivered to the PDSCH of the physical layer.

[0179] One UL-SCH and one DL-SCH may be provided for each serving cell. The BCH may be provided for the PCell. The BCH does not necessarily have to be provided for the PSCell or SCell.

[0180] In the MAC layer, HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest) control is performed for each transport block.

[0181] The BCCH (Broadcast Control CHannel), CCCH (Common Control CHannel), and DCCH (Dedicated Control CHannel) are logical channels. For example, the BCCH is a channel of the RRC layer used for transmitting MIB or system information. The CCCH (Common Control CHannel) may be used for transmitting RRC messages common to multiple terminal devices 1. Here, the CCCH may be used, for example, for terminal devices 1 that are not RRC connected. The DCCH (Dedicated Control CHannel) may be used at least for transmitting RRC messages dedicated to the terminal device 1. Here, the DCCH may be used, for example, for terminal devices 1 that are RRC connected.

[0182] Upper layer parameters common to multiple terminal devices 1 are also referred to as common upper layer parameters. Here, the common upper layer parameters may be defined as parameters specific to a serving cell. Here, the parameters specific to a serving cell may be parameters common to terminal devices (e.g., terminal devices 1-A, 1-B, and 1-C) in which the serving cell is configured.

[0183] For example, the common upper layer parameters may be included in an RRC message delivered on the BCCH. For example, the common upper layer parameters may be included in an RRC message delivered on the DCCH.

[0184] Among certain upper layer parameters, upper layer parameters different from common upper layer parameters are also referred to as dedicated upper layer parameters. Here, the dedicated upper layer parameters can provide dedicated RRC parameters to the terminal device 1-A in which the serving cell is configured. In other words, the dedicated RRC parameters are upper layer parameters that can provide unique settings for each of the terminal devices 1-A, 1-B, and 1-C.

[0185] The BCCH of the logical channel is mapped to the BCH or DL-SCH of the transport layer. For example, a transport block containing MIB information is delivered to the BCH of the transport layer. A transport block containing system information other than MIB is delivered to the DL-SCH of the transport layer. The CCCH is mapped to the DL-SCH or UL-SCH. In other words, a transport block mapped to the CCCH is delivered to the DL-SCH or UL-SCH. The DCCH is mapped to the DL-SCH or UL-SCH. In other words, a transport block mapped to the DCCH is delivered to the DL-SCH or UL-SCH.

[0186] The RRC message includes one or more parameters managed in the RRC layer. Here, the parameters managed in the RRC layer are also referred to as RRC parameters. For example, the RRC message may include an MIB. The RRC message may also include system information. The RRC message may also include a message corresponding to a CCCH. The RRC message may also include a message corresponding to a DCCH. An RRC message including a message corresponding to a DCCH is also referred to as a dedicated RRC message.

[0187] The upper layer parameters (upper layer parameters) are RRC parameters or parameters included in MAC CE (Medium Access Control Control Element). That is, the upper layer parameters are a collective term for MIB, system information, messages corresponding to CCCH, messages corresponding to DCCH, and parameters included in MAC CE. The parameters included in MAC CE are transmitted by MAC CE (Control Element) commands.

[0188] The procedures performed by the terminal device 1 include at least some or all of the following steps 5A to 5C: 5A) Cell search, 5B) Random access, and 5C) Data communication.

[0189] The cell search is a procedure used by the terminal device 1 to synchronize with a certain cell in the time domain and the frequency domain and detect a physical cell identity. That is, the terminal device 1 may perform the cell search to synchronize with a certain cell in the time domain and the frequency domain and detect a physical cell ID.

[0190] The sequence of PSSs is based at least on a physical cell ID. The sequence of SSSs is based at least on a physical cell ID.

[0191] The SS / PBCH block candidates indicate resources on which transmission of the SS / PBCH blocks is permitted (possibly, reserved, configured, defined, possible).

[0192] The set of SS / PBCH block candidates in a half radio frame is also called the SS burst set. The SS burst set is also called the transmission window, SS transmission window, or DRS (Discovery Reference Signal) transmission window. The SS burst set is a general term that includes at least the first SS burst set and the second SS burst set.

[0193] The base station device 3 transmits SS / PBCH blocks of one or more indexes at a predetermined period. The terminal device 1 may detect at least one of the SS / PBCH blocks of the one or more indexes and attempt to decode the PBCH included in the SS / PBCH block.

[0194] Random access is a procedure that includes at least some or all of message 1, message 2, message 3, and message 4.

[0195] Message 1 is a procedure for transmitting a PRACH by a terminal device 1. The terminal device 1 transmits a PRACH in one PRACH opportunity selected from one or more PRACH opportunities based at least on an index of an SS / PBCH block candidate detected based on a cell search. Each PRACH opportunity is defined based at least on resources in the time domain and the frequency domain.

[0196] The terminal device 1 transmits one random access preamble selected from among the PRACH opportunities corresponding to the index of the SS / PBCH block candidate from which the SS / PBCH block is detected.

[0197] Message 2 is a procedure in which the terminal device 1 attempts to detect DCI format 1_0 with a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) scrambled with an RA-RNTI (Random Access - Radio Network Temporary Identifier). The terminal device 1 attempts to detect a PDCCH including this DCI format in a control resource set provided based on an MIB included in a PBCH included in an SS / PBCH block detected based on a cell search and in resources indicated based on the setting of a search space set. Message 2 is also referred to as a random access response.

[0198] Message 3 is a procedure for transmitting a PUSCH scheduled by a random access response grant included in DCI format 1_0 detected by the procedure of message 2. Here, the random access response grant is indicated by a MAC CE included in a PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0.

[0199] The PUSCH scheduled based on the random access response grant is either a message 3 PUSCH or a PUSCH. The message 3 PUSCH includes a contention resolution identifier (MAC CE). The contention resolution identifier (MAC CE) includes the contention resolution ID.

[0200] Message 3 PUSCH retransmissions are scheduled with DCI format 0_0 with CRC scrambled based on TC-RNTI (Temporary Cell - Radio Network Temporary Identifier).

[0201] Message 4 is a procedure for attempting to detect DCI format 1_0 with a CRC scrambled based on either a Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) or a TC-RNTI. The terminal device 1 receives a PDSCH scheduled based on the DCI format 1_0. The PDSCH may include a collision resolution ID.

[0202] Data communication is a general term for downlink communication and uplink communication.

[0203] In data communication, the terminal device 1 attempts to detect the PDCCH in resources identified based on the control resource set and the search space set (monitors the PDCCH).

[0204] A control resource set is a set of resources consisting of a predetermined number of resource blocks and a predetermined number of OFDM symbols. In the frequency domain, a control resource set may be composed of contiguous resources (non-interleaved mapping) or distributed resources (interleaver mapping).

[0205] A set of resource blocks constituting the control resource set may be indicated by a higher layer parameter, and the number of OFDM symbols constituting the control resource set may be indicated by a higher layer parameter.

[0206] The terminal device 1 attempts to detect a PDCCH in a search space set. Here, attempting to detect a PDCCH in a search space set may be attempting to detect a PDCCH candidate in the search space set, may be attempting to detect a DCI format in the search space set, may be attempting to detect a PDCCH in a control resource set, may be attempting to detect a PDCCH candidate in the control resource set, or may be attempting to detect a DCI format in the control resource set.

[0207] The search space set is defined as a set of PDCCH candidates. The search space set may be a Common Search Space (CSS) set or a UE-specific Search Space (USS) set. The terminal device 1 attempts to detect PDCCH candidates in some or all of a Type 0 PDCCH common search space set, a Type 0a PDCCH common search space set, a Type 1 PDCCH common search space set, a Type 2 PDCCH common search space set, a Type 3 PDCCH common search space set, and / or a UE-specific search space set.

[0208] The Type 0 PDCCH common search space set may be used as the common search space set with index 0. The Type 0 PDCCH common search space set may be the common search space set with index 0.

[0209] The CSS set is a collective term for a Type 0 PDCCH common search space set, a Type 0a PDCCH common search space set, a Type 1 PDCCH common search space set, a Type 2 PDCCH common search space set, and a Type 3 PDCCH common search space set. The USS set is also called a UE-specific PDCCH search space set.

[0210] A search space set is associated with (included in, corresponds to) a control resource set, and the index of the control resource set associated with the search space set may be indicated by a higher layer parameter.

[0211] For a given search space set, some or all of 6A to 6C may be indicated by higher layer parameters: 6A) PDCCH monitoring periodicity, 6B) PDCCH monitoring pattern within a slot, and 6C) PDCCH monitoring offset.

[0212] A monitoring occasion for a search space set may correspond to an OFDM symbol in which a first OFDM symbol of a control resource set associated with the search space set is located. A monitoring occasion for a search space set may correspond to resources of a control resource set starting from a first OFDM symbol of the control resource set associated with the search space set. The monitoring occasion for the search space set is determined based on at least some or all of a PDCCH monitoring interval, a PDCCH monitoring pattern within a slot, and a PDCCH monitoring offset.

[0213] 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a monitoring opportunity for a search area set according to one aspect of the present embodiment. In FIG. 8, a search area set 91 and a search area set 92 are set in a primary cell 301, a search area set 93 is set in a secondary cell 302, and a search area set 94 is set in a secondary cell 303.

That is, the monitoring opportunities for search area set 91 correspond to the first OFDM symbol (OFDM symbol #0) and the eighth OFDM symbol (OFDM symbol #7) in each slot.

[0216] The monitoring interval of search area set 92 is set to 2 slots, the monitoring offset of search area set 92 is set to 0 slots, and the monitoring pattern of search area set 92 is set to [1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0].

[0226] In uplink communication, the terminal device 1 detects an uplink DCI format. The detected DCI format is used at least for PUSCH resource allocation. The detected uplink DCI format is also called an uplink grant. The terminal device 1 transmits the PUSCH.

[0227] In configured scheduling (configured grant), an uplink grant for scheduling a PUSCH is configured for each transmission period of the PUSCH. When a PUSCH is scheduled by an uplink DCI format, some or all of the information indicated by the uplink DCI format may be indicated by the uplink grant configured in the case of configured scheduling.

[0234] The terminal device 1 may be configured with a list of up to M TCI state configurations. The TCI state configuration may be in PDSCH-Config. PDSCH-Config may be a configuration for decoding the PDSCH. M may depend on maxNumberConfiguredTCIstatesPerCC. Each TCI state may include a parameter for configuring a QCL. The QCL may be a relationship between one or two downlink reference signals and a DMRS port of the PDSCH. The QCL may be a relationship between one or two downlink reference signals and a DMRS port of the PDCCH. The QCL may be a relationship between one or two downlink reference signals and a CSI-RS port of a certain CSI-RS resource. The QCL relationship may be configured by the higher layer parameter qcl-Type1 for the first downlink reference signal. If configured, the QCL relationship may be configured by the higher layer parameter qcl-Type2 for the second downlink reference signal. The QCL may be a QCL relationship. For two downlink reference signals, the QCL types may not be the same regardless of whether the reference signals are the same downlink reference signal or different downlink reference signals. The QCL type corresponding to each downlink reference signal may be given by qcl-type in the higher layer parameter QCL-Info. For example, the value of qcl-type may be one of {typeA, typeB, typeC, typeD}. typeA may indicate {Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread}. typeB may indicate {Doppler shift, Doppler spread}. typeC may indicate {Doppler shift, average delay}. typeD may indicate {spatial Rx filter}.

The UL TX spatial filter may be for PUSCH, PUCCH resources, and SRS.

[0236] The TCI state may refer to the higher layer parameter TCI-state.

[0237] If the TCI-state or TCI-UL-state setting is not within a BWP of that component carrier, the terminal device 1 may apply the TCI-state or TCI-UL-state setting of a reference BWP of a reference component carrier set by unifiedTCI-stateRef. If the terminal device 1 is set in dl-OrJoingtTCI-StateList or ul-TCI-StateList, the terminal device 1 does not need to expect to be set in tci-StatesToAddModList, SpatialRelationInfo, or PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo. When the terminal device 1 is configured in the tci-StatesToAddModList of any component carrier in the component carrier list configured by simultaneousTCI-UpdateList1-r16, simultaneousTCI-UpdateList2-r16, simultaneousSpatial-UpdatedList1-r16, or simultaneousSpatial-UpdatedList2-r16, it may be assumed that it is not configured in the dl-OrJointTCI-StateList or ul-TCI-StateList in that component carrier list.

[0238] The terminal device 1 may receive an activation command. Receiving the activation command may be receiving a MAC CE. The activation command may be used to map up to eight TCI states or up to eight TCI state pairs to code points in the DCI field. For example, the DCI field may be Transmission Configuration Indication. One TCI state may be for one downlink physical channel. One TCI state may be for one uplink physical channel. The activation command may be used to map up to eight TCI state sets to code points in the DCI field. For example, each TCI state set may be configured with up to two TCI states for the downlink and uplink. Each TCI state set may be configured with up to two TCI states for the downlink and uplink.

[0239] When the upper layer parameter tci-PresentInDCI is set or tci-PresentDCI-1-2 is configured for CORESET, a terminal device 1 configured with dl-OrJointTCI-StateList having an activated TCI-state or ul-TCI-StateList having an activated TCI-UL-State may receive DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 / 1_3 providing the indicated TCI state. If applicable, DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 may have a downlink assignment. If applicable, DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 may not have a downlink assignment. If DCI format 1_1 / 1_2 does not have a downlink assignment, the terminal device 1 may assume certain conditions. For example, one condition may be that the CS-RNTI is used to scramble the CRC for the DCI. It may assume that the RV of the DCI field is all 1s. It may assume that the MCS of the DCI field is all 1s. It may assume that the NDI of the DCI field is 0. It may be assumed that the DCI field FDRA is all zeros.

[0240] When the terminal device 1 receives an initial upper layer configuration dl-OrJointTCI-StateList having one or more TCI-states and before applying the TCI state indicated from the configured TCI state, the DMRS of the PDSCH, the DMRS of the PDCCH and the CSI-RS to which the terminal device 1 applies the indicated TCI state may be the SS / PBCH block and QCL recognized by the UE at initial access.

[0241] When the terminal device 1 receives an initial higher layer configuration dl-OrJointTCI-StateList having one or more TCI-states or an initial higher layer configuration ul-TCI-StateList having one or more TCI-UL-States, and before applying a TCI state indicated by the configured TCI state, the terminal device 1 may assume that the UL TX spatial filter is the same as a certain PUSCH transmission. For example, a certain PUSCH transmission may be a PUSCH transmission scheduled by an RAR UL grant. For example, a certain PUSCH transmission may be an MsgA PUSCH transmission.

[0242] When terminal device 1 receives an upper layer configured dl-OrJointTCI-StateList with one TCI-state, that TCI-state may be used as the indicated TCI state. When terminal device 1 receives an upper layer configured dl-OrJointTCI-StateList with one TCI-state, terminal device 1 may derive a QCL assumption from that configured TCI state.

[0243] When the terminal device 1 receives an upper layer configured ul-TCI-StateList with one TCI-UL-state, that TCI-state may be used as the indicated TCI state.

[0244] If the indicated TCI state is different from the previously indicated TCI state, the indicated TCI-state and / or TCI-UL-state may be applied starting from a slot, which may be the first slot after the last symbol of the PUSCH or PUCCH and at least beamAppTime symbols later.

[0245] When terminal device 1 is configured with dl-OrJointTCI-StateList, and when terminal device 1 is configured with unifiedTCI-StateType as 'separate', and when terminal device 1 receives a TCI codepoint to which any of {TCI-State, TCI-UL-State} is mapped, terminal device 1 may update one of the indicated {TCI-State, TCI-UL-State}. For example, terminal device 1 may maintain the other {TCI-State, TCI-UL-State} that is not updated by the received TCI codepoint.

[0246] When the terminal device 1 is configured in dl-OrJointTCI-StateList and has two indicated TCI-states, if the terminal device 1 receives a TCI codepoint to which one or both of the first and second TCI-State subsets and the first and second TCI-UL-State subsets are mapped, the terminal device 1 may update either the first or second TCI-State or the first or second TCI-UL-State mapped to that TCI codepoint. The terminal device 1 may maintain a previously indicated TCI state that is not updated by the TCI codepoint. The TCI state may be a TCI-State. For example, the TCI state may be the first and second TCI-States. The TCI state may be a TCI-UL-State. For example, the TCI state may be the first and second TCI-UL-States.

[0247] When the terminal device 1 is configured with SSB-MTC-AdditionalPCI and with a PDCCH-Config including a different value of coresetPoolIndex in the ControlResourceSet, the terminal device 1 may receive an activation command. The activation command may be for a CORESET associated with each coresetPoolIndex. When a set of TCI state IDs is activated for a coresetPoolIndex, the activated TCI state corresponding to one coresetPoolIndex may be associated with the serving cell physical cell ID. In this case, the activated TCI state corresponding to another coresetPoolIndex may be associated with another physical cell ID. The physical cell ID may be a PCI.

[0248] When the terminal device 1 indicates two TCI states in a code point of the DCI field 'Transmission Configuration Indication', the terminal device 1 may receive an activation command. The activation command may be used to map up to eight combinations of one or two TCI states to that code point. The terminal device 1 may not be expected to receive more than eight TCI states in an activation command.

[0249] When the DCI field 'Transmission Configuration Indication' is present in DCI format 1_2 and the number S of codepoints in the DCI field 'Transmission Configuration Indication' is less than the number of TCI codepoints activated by the activation command, only the first S activated codepoints may be applied to DCI format 1_2.

[0250] The terminal device 1 may be configured with an upper layer parameter tci-PresentInDCI. tci-PresentInDCI may be set as enable for CORESET that schedules the PDSCH. In that case, the terminal device 1 may assume that the TCI field is present in DCI format 1_1 or 1_3 of the PDCCH transmitted on CORESET.

[0251] The terminal device 1 may be configured with the higher layer parameter tci-PresentInDCI-1-2 for CORESET to schedule the PDSCH. In that case, the terminal device 1 may assume that a TCI field is present in DCI format 1_2 of the PDCCH transmitted on CORESET. The size of the TCI field may be indicated by tci-PresentInDCI-1-2.

[0252] The terminal device 1 may be configured with both sfnSchemePDCCH and sfnSchemePDSCH. The offset time between reception of downlink DCI and reception of the corresponding PDSCH may be greater than or equal to the threshold timeDurationForQCL. The terminal device 1 may support sfn-DefaultDL-BeamSetup-r17 for DCI scheduling without a TCI field. In that case, the terminal device 1 may assume that the TCI state or QCL assumption for the PDSCH matches the TCI state or QCL assumption applied for the CORESET used for reception of downlink DCI in the active BWP of the serving cell, regardless of the number of TCIs active in the CORESET. If the terminal device 1 does not indicate SchemeA-DynamicSwitching-r17 or sfn-SchemeB-DynamicSwitching-r17, the terminal device 1 may be activated with two TCI states in that CORESET.

[0253] The terminal device 1 may be configured with both sfnSchemePDCCH and sfnSchemePDSCH. The offset time between reception of the downlink DCI and reception of the corresponding PDSCH may be greater than or equal to the threshold timeDurationForQCL. The terminal device 1 may not support sfn-DefaultDL-BeamSetup-r17 for DCIs scheduled without a TCI field. In that case, the terminal device 1 may not expect a TCI field to be present when scheduled with DCI format 1_1 or 1_2.

[0254] If the terminal device 1 is not configured in both sfnSchemePDCCH and sfnSchemePDSCH, and is scheduled in DCI format 1_1 or 1_2, and the offset time between the reception of the downlink DCI and the reception of the corresponding PDSCH is greater than or equal to the threshold timeDuraionForQCL, the terminal device 1 may expect the TCI field to be present.

[0255] The terminal device 1 may configure sfnSchemePDCCH with 'sfnschemeA'. At that time, the terminal device 1 may not configure sfnSchemePDSCH. In that case, there may not be a TCI code point with two TCI states in the activation command for the PDSCH. If the offset time between the reception of the downlink DCI and the reception of the corresponding PDSCH is equal to or greater than the threshold timeDurationForQCL, and if the CORESET scheduling the PDSCH is indicated with two TCI states, the terminal device 1 may assume that the TCI state or QCL assumption for the PDSCH is the same as the initial TCI state or QCL assumption applied for the CORESET used for PDCCH transmission.

[0256] If the PDSCH is scheduled by DCI format 1_0 / 1_1 / 1_2, and SFN scheme A is configured for the PDCCH, and SFN is not configured for the PDSCH, and there is no TCI codepoint (a codepoint in the TCI field) with two TCI states, and the time offset is equal to or greater than a threshold, and the CORESET that schedules the PDSCH is indicated by two TCI states, the TCI state or QCL assumption for the PDSCH may be the same as the first TCI state and the first QCL assumption applied for the CORESET. Configuring SFN scheme A for the PDCCH may also mean configuring sfnSchemePdcch with 'sfnSchemeA' set.

[0257] If the unified TCI state is not configured, if the time offset is smaller than the threshold, and if at least one configured TCI state includes a qcl-Type set to typeD, the DMRS port of the PDSCH may be an RS and QCL for a certain QCL parameter. The certain QCL parameter may be used for the PDCCH QCL indication of a certain CORESET. The certain CORESET may be a CORESET associated with a search space with the lowest CORESET ID (controlResourceSetId) among the CORESETs monitored by the terminal device 1 in the latest slot.

[0258] If the unified TCI state is configured, and the time offset is less than a threshold, and at least one configured TCI state includes a qcl-Type set to typeD, and the indicated TCI state is associated with the PCI (Physical Cell ID) of the serving cell, the indicated TCI state may be applied to PDSCH reception. If the unified TCI state is configured, and the time offset is less than a threshold, and at least one configured TCI state includes a qcl-Type set to typeD, and the indicated TCI state is associated with the PCI (Physical Cell ID) of the serving cell, the DMRS port of the PDSCH in the serving cell may use the reference signal and QCL associated with the QCL parameter of the CORESET associated with the lowest CORESET ID. Configuring the unified TCI state may also mean configuring the higher layer parameter dl-OrJointTCI-StateList.

[0259] If a first terminal capability is indicated to the terminal device 1, the terminal device 1 may determine a spatial domain filter. The spatial domain filter may be used while performing an applicable channel access procedure before UL transmission on the channel. If an SRI corresponding to UL transmission is indicated, the terminal device 1 may use the same spatial domain filter as the spatial domain filter associated with the indicated SRI. The terminal device 1 may use the same spatial domain filter as the spatial domain filter used to receive a DL reference signal associated with the indicated TCI state. For example, if TCI-State or TCI-UL-State is set, the terminal device 1 may use the same spatial domain filter as the spatial domain filter used to receive a DL reference signal associated with the indicated TCI state. The first terminal capability may be beamCorrespondenceWithoutUL-BeamSweeping, which is set to '1'.

[0260] When SFN scheme A is configured for the PDCCH and CORESET is activated in two TCI states, the DMRS ports of the PDCCH in CORESET may be DL RS (downlink reference signal) and QCL for the two TCI states. When SFN scheme B is configured for the PDCCH and CORESET is activated in two TCI states, the DMRS ports of the PDCCH in CORESET may be DL RS and QCL for the two TCI states, and the second TCI state may not include the QCL parameters {Doppler shift, Doppler spread}. Configuring SFN scheme A for the PDCCH may mean configuring sfnSchemePdcch with 'sfnSchemeA' set. Configuring SFN scheme B for the PDCCH may mean configuring sfnSchemePdcch with 'sfnSchemeB' set.

[0261] Regardless of the settings of tci-PresentInDCI and tci-PresentDCI-1-2 in the RRC connected mode, if dl-OrJointTCI-StateList-r17 is not provided to the terminal device 1 and the offset between receptions of downlink DCI corresponding to the PDSCH is smaller than timeDurationForQCL, at least one configured TCI state may include qcl-Type set to 'typeD'. In that case, the terminal device 1 may assume that the DMRS port of the PDSCH is the RS and QCL used for the PDCCH. The PDCCH may be based on the QCL indication of the CORESET associated with the lowest controlResourceSetId in the latest slot among one or more CORESETs in the active BWP of the serving cell monitored by the terminal device 1 and the CORESET associated with the monitored search space.

[0262] The terminal device 1 may be configured with enableDefaultTCI-StatePerCoresetPoolIndex. The terminal device 1 may also be configured with the higher layer parameter PDCCH-Config. The PDCCH-Config may include two different coresetPoolIndex values ​​in different ControlResourceSets. In this case, the terminal device 1 may assume that the DMRS port of the PDSCH associated with the coresetPoolIndex value of the serving cell is the RS and QCL used for the PDCCH. The PDCCH may be the PDCCH that schedules the PDSCH in the active BWP of the serving cell monitored by the terminal device 1, and may be based on the lowest controlResourceSetId among the CORESETs and the QCL indication of the CORESET associated with the monitored search space.

[0263] The terminal device 1 may be configured with enableTwoDefaultTCI-States. In this case, at least one TCI code point may indicate two TCI states. The terminal device 1 may assume that the DMRS port of the PDSCH or the PDSCH transmission opportunity of the serving cell is in the RS and QCL state associated with the TCI state corresponding to the lowest code point between the TCI code points including two different TCI states.

[0264] The terminal device 1 may be configured with the higher layer parameter repetitionScheme. The repetitionScheme may be set with tdmSchemeA. In that case, or when configured with the higher layer parameter repetitionNumber and the offset between the first PDSCH transmission opportunity and the reception of downlink DCI is less than the threshold timeDurationForQCL, the mapping of TCI states to PDSCH transmission opportunities may be determined by a certain method.

[0265] If the TCI states set for the serving cell of the scheduled PDSCH are not all set to type-D, the terminal device 1 may derive other QCL assumptions from the indicated TCI states for that scheduled PDSCH.

[0266] Regardless of the settings of tci-PresentInDCI and tci-PresentDCI-1-2 in RRC connected mode, dl-OrJointTCI-StateList-r17 may be provided to the terminal device 1. In this case, when the offset between the downlink DCI and the corresponding PDSCH is smaller than timeDurationForQCL, regardless of the setting of followUnifiedTCI-State, at least one set TCI state may include qcl-Type set to type D. In this case, if the indicated TCI state is linked to the PCI of the serving cell, the indicated TCI state may be applied to reception of the PDSCH.

[0267] Regardless of the settings of tci-PresentInDCI and tci-PresentDCI-1-2 in the RRC connected mode, the terminal device 1 may be provided with dl-OrJointTCI-StateList-r17. In this case, when the offset between the downlink DCI and the corresponding PDSCH is smaller than timeDurationForQCL, regardless of the setting of followUnifiedTCI-State, at least one configured TCI state may include qcl-Type set to type D. In this case, if the indicated TCI state is associated with the PCI of a different serving cell, the terminal device 1 may assume that the DMRS port of the PDSCH of a certain serving cell is the RS and QCL state used for the PDCCH. The PDCCH may be based on the lowest controlResourceSetId in the latest slot among one or more CORESETs in the active BWP of the serving cell monitored by the terminal device 1 and the indication of the CORESET associated with the monitored search space. In the case of CA, if the 'QCL-TypeD' of the DMRS of the PDSCH of each component carrier in a band is different, the 'QCL-TypeD' assumption of the DMRS of the PDSCH of the component carrier with the lowest component carrier ID in that band may be applied to the DMRS of all PDSCHs of that component carrier in that band.

[0268] The terminal device 1 may retain the indicated terminal capability beamCorrespondenceWithoutUL-BeamSweeping. beamCorrespondenceWithoutUL-BeamSweeping may be set to 'supported'. In that case, the terminal device 1 may determine the spatial filter to be used during the channel access procedure prior to a certain uplink transmission. The terminal device 1 may be indicated by an SRI. If the terminal device 1 is indicated by an SRI corresponding to an uplink transmission, it may use the same spatial filter as the spatial filter associated with the indicated SRI. The terminal device 1 may be configured by SRS-spatialRelationInfo for uplink transmission. In that case, the terminal device 1 may use the same spatial filter as the spatial filter associated with the referenceSignal in the corresponding SRS-spatialRelationInfo. The terminal device 1 may be configured by a TCI-state in the dl-OrJointTCI-StateList or a TCI-UL-State in the ul-TCI-StateList. In that case, the terminal device 1 may use a certain spatial filter. The spatial filter may be the same as the receive spatial filter used to receive the downlink reference signal associated with the indicated TCI state.

[0269] The reception of a PDCCH may include two PDCCHs from two respective search spaces. In this case, the PDCCH candidate that ends later in time may be used for the purpose of determining the time offset between the reception of the corresponding PDSCH and downlink DCI. The reception of a PDCCH may include two PDCCH candidates from two respective search spaces. In this case, for the configuration of tci-PresentInDCI or tci-PresentDCI-1-2, the terminal device 1 may expect the same configuration in the first and second CORESETs associated with the two PDCCH candidates. The PDSCH may also be scheduled using a DCI format that does not have a TCI field. In this case, and if the scheduling offset is equal to or greater than timeDurationForQCL, the QCL assumption for the PDSCH may be determined based on the CORESET with the lowest ID between the first and second CORESETs associated with the two PDCCH candidates.

[0270] The CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet may be configured to be periodic. For periodic CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet configured in the higher layer parameter trs-Info, the terminal device 1 may expect a certain TCI-state to indicate a certain QCL type. A certain QCL type may be type C for an SSB. A certain QCL type may be type D for the same SSB. The SSB may have a PCI different from that of its serving cell. The terminal device 1 may assume that an SSB with a different PCI of its serving cell has the same center frequency, subcarrier spacing, and SFN offset as the SSB of the serving cell. A certain QCL type may be type D for the CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet configured in the higher layer parameter repetition. The SSB may have a PCI different from that of its serving cell. The terminal device 1 may assume that an SSB having a PCI different from that of the serving cell and an SSB of that serving cell have the same center frequency, subcarrier spacing, and SFN offset.

[0271] The CSI-RS may be configured to be periodic or semi-persistent. If the terminal device 1 is configured with dl-OrJointTCI-StateList for periodic or semi-persistent CSI-RS, the terminal device 1 may assume that the indicated TCI-state does not apply.

[0272] The CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet may be set to aperiodic. The NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet may be set by the upper layer parameter trs-Info. For aperiodic CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet set by the upper layer parameter trs-Info, the terminal device 1 may expect the TCI-state to indicate periodic CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet and qcl-Type to be 'type A'. For aperiodic CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet set by the upper layer parameter trs-Info, the terminal device 1 may expect the TCI-state to indicate periodic CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet and qcl-Type to be 'type D'.

[0273] For CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that are not configured in the higher layer parameter trs-Info and are not configured in the higher layer parameter repetition, the terminal device 1 may expect the TCI-state to indicate a certain QCL type. A certain QCL type may be type A with the CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that are configured in the higher layer parameter trs-Info. For example, it may be type D with the same CSI-RS resources.

[0274] For CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet that are not configured in the higher layer parameter trs-Info and are not configured in the higher layer parameter repetition, the terminal device 1 may expect the TCI-state to indicate a certain QCL type.

[0279] For the CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-resourceSet configured by the higher layer parameter repetition, the terminal device 1 may expect the TCI-state to indicate a certain QCL type. A certain QCL type may be type C for an SSB. For example, it may be type D for a similar SSB, and its reference signal may be an SSB with a PCI different from the PCI of the serving cell. The terminal device 1 may assume that the center frequency, subcarrier spacing, and SFN offset for an SSB with a PCI different from that of the serving cell are the same as those for the SSB of the serving cell.

The DCI may be a DCI that schedules a PUSCH. The DCI may be a DCI corresponding to DCI format 2_2 with a CRC scrambled by the TPC-PUSCH-RNTI. The DCI may be a DCI corresponding to DCI format 2_3. For example, if the value of the TPC command field is 0, δPUSCH,b,f,c(m,l) may be −1 dB. dB may also refer to decibels. For example, if the value of the TPC command field is 1, δPUSCH,b,f,c(m,l) may be 0 dB. For example, if the value of the TPC command field is 2, δPUSCH,b,f,c(m,l) may be 1 dB.

For example, i 0 may be the minimum value when condition 1 is satisfied. For example, condition 1 satisfies the following condition: 0 K PUSCH (i-i 0 ) symbol is the K symbol of PUSCH transmission opportunity i PUSCH (i) symbol i0 may be earlier than the symbol before the symbol i-i0. PUSCH (i-i0) symbols ago is K of PUSCH transmission opportunity i PUSCH (i) It may be the smallest integer before the symbol. i0 may be greater than 0.

[0378] A PUSCH may not be transmitted based on at least transmission opportunity i and transmission opportunity i0. For example, K PUSCH K symbols before PUSCH transmission opportunity i PUSCH (i) A certain PUSCH may not be transmitted until a symbol before.
