Terminal and communication method

Abstract

This terminal assumes that, in a case in which a default beam rule for an aperiodic CSI-RS is reused for an aperiodic CLI measurement resource, if a scheduling offset between the last symbol of a physical downlink control channel carrying a triggering DCI for aperiodic CLI reporting and the first symbol of an aperiodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or a CLI-RSSI measurement resource is smaller than the time required to apply an indicated TCI state, if there is another downlink signal having the indicated TCI state in the same symbol as the aperiodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or the CLI-RSSI measurement resource, then a QCL assumption of the other downlink signal is applied when measuring a signal using the aperiodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or the CLI-RSSI measurement resource.

Description

Terminal and Communication Method

[0001] The present invention relates to a terminal and a communication method in a wireless communication system.

[0002] In 3GPP (registered trademark) (3rd Generation Partnership Project), studies are underway on a wireless communication scheme called 5G or NR (New Radio) (hereinafter, this wireless communication scheme is referred to as "NR") to achieve further increase in system capacity, further higher data transmission rate, further lower latency in radio links and the like. For 5G, various wireless technologies and network architectures are being studied to satisfy the requirement of achieving a throughput of 10 Gbps or higher while reducing the latency of radio links to 1 ms or less (for example, Non-Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Document 2).

[0003] In Release 18, extension of a duplex method that enables simultaneous use of downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) by using a plurality of subbands constituting a time division duplex (TDD) band is under discussion. Such extended duplex method is called Subband non-overlapping Full Duplex (SBFD).

[0004] With the introduction of SBFD and dynamic / flexible TDD, simultaneous DL / UL transmission from a base station (hereinafter also referred to as gNodeB (gNB)) / terminal (hereinafter also referred to as user equipment (UE)) has become possible.

[0005] On the other hand, the extension of the duplex method has resulted in the occurrence of Cross Link Interference (CLI). CLI also occurs in dynamic TDD in which the timing of DL transmission and UL transmission differs from cell to cell.

[0006] In these communication schemes, as a countermeasure against CLI, the terminal performs CLI measurement and reports the result of L1 (Layer 1)-based CLI measurement (hereinafter referred to as "L1-CLI report") to the base station.

[0007] 3GPP TS 38.300 V18.4.0 (2024-12) 3GPP TS 38.401 V18.4.0 (2024-12) 3GPP TS 38.214 V18.4.0 (2024-09) 3GPP TS 38.306 V18.6.0 (2025-03)

[0008] In 3GPP, when the scheduling offset between "the last symbol of the PDCCH containing the DCI that triggers the aperiodic (AP) CLI report" and "the first symbol of the aperiodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or CLI-RSSI measurement resource" is smaller than the threshold (beamSwitchTiming) reported by the terminal, the following two proposals are being discussed:

[0009] (Alt.1) The terminal does not assume that the scheduling offset between the last symbol of the PDCCH containing the DCI that triggers the AP CLI and the first symbol of the aperiodic CLI SRS-RSRP or CLI-RSSI resource will be set to a threshold beamSwitchTiming reported by the terminal.

[0010] (Alt.2) Apply the default beam rules for AP CSI-RS resources defined in the existing specifications (Non-Patent Document 3) to AP CLI SRS-RSRP or CLI-RSSI resources.

[0011] In the default beam rule for AP CSI-RS, the default beam may refer to other DL (Down Link) signals defined within the same symbol as AP CSI-RS. Therefore, when reusing the same default beam rule for AP L1 CLI measurement resources, the definitions of other DL signals in AP L1 CLI measurement resources may not perfectly match the current definitions. Furthermore, only the value set by beamSwitchTiming is considered as the time required to apply the indicated TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication) state. However, the required switching time may be a value other than beamSwitchTiming. In addition, the introduction of L1 SRS-RSRP and L1 CLI-RSSI measurement resources may necessitate updating the definitions of other DL signals in AP CSI-RS.

[0012] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and aims to appropriately apply the default beam rules of AP CSI-RS resources to AP CLI SRS-RSRP resources or CLI-RSSI resources.

[0013] According to the disclosed technology, when the default beam rule for aperiodic CSI-RS (Channel State Information - Reference Signal) is reused for aperiodic CLI (Cross Link Interference) measurement resource, if the scheduling offset between the last symbol of the physical downlink control channel carrying the triggering DCI (Downlink Control Information) for aperiodic CLI reporting and the first symbol of the aperiodic SRS-RSRP (Sounding Reference Signal - Reference Signal Reception Power) measurement resource or CLI-RSSI (Reference Signal Strength Indicator) measurement resource is smaller than the time required to apply the indicated TCI (Transmission Configuration Information) state, and if there is another downlink signal with the indicated TCI state within the same symbol as the aperiodic SRS-RSRP or CLI-RSSI measurement resource, then when measuring the signal from the aperiodic SRS-RSRP or CLI-RSSI measurement resource, the QCL (Quasi) of the other downlink signal is applied. A terminal is provided having a control unit that assumes the application of a Co-Location assumption, and a receiving unit that receives signals from a non-periodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or a CLI-RSSI measurement resource, wherein the control unit assumes that the other downlink signals include signals from a periodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource, a quasi-periodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource, and a non-periodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource, or signals from a periodic CLI-RSSI measurement resource, a quasi-periodic CLI-RSSI measurement resource, and a non-periodic CLI-RSSI measurement resource.

[0014] According to the disclosed technology, the default beam rules for AP CSI-RS resources can be appropriately applied to AP CLI SRS-RSRP resources or CLI-RSSI resources.

[0016] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments described below are examples, and the embodiments to which the present invention is applied are not limited to those described below.

[0017] In the operation of the wireless communication system according to the embodiments of the present invention, existing technologies may be used as appropriate. However, such existing technologies include, for example, existing LTE, but are not limited to existing LTE. Furthermore, the term "LTE" as used herein has a broad meaning that includes LTE-Advanced and LTE-Advanced and later technologies (e.g., NR), unless otherwise specified.

[0018] Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention described below, terms such as SS (Synchronization signal), PSS (Primary SS), SSS (Secondary SS), PBCH (Physical broadcast channel), PRACH (Physical random access channel), PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel), PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel), and PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel), which are used in existing LTE technologies, will be used. This is for convenience of description, and similar signals, functions, etc., may be called by other names. In NR, the above terms will be referred to as SS, PSS, SSS, PBCH, PRACH, etc., without any particular distinction from LTE.

[0019] Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention, the duplex system may be a TDD (Time Division Duplex) system, an FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) system, or any other system (for example, a Flexible Duplex).

[0020] Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention, "configuring" wireless parameters may mean that predetermined values ​​are pre-configured, or that wireless parameters notified from the base station 10 or terminal 20 are configured.

[0021] Figure 1 shows an example of the configuration of a wireless communication system in an embodiment of the present invention. The wireless communication system in the embodiment of the present invention includes a base station 10 and a terminal 20, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows one base station 10 and one terminal 20, but this is an example, and there may be multiple base stations 10 and terminals 20.

[0022] Base station 10 is a communication device that provides one or more cells and communicates wirelessly with terminal 20. The physical resources of the wireless signal are defined in the time domain and the frequency domain. The time domain may be defined by the number of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols, and the frequency domain may be defined by the number of subcarriers or resource blocks. Base station 10 transmits synchronization signals and system information to terminal 20. Synchronization signals are, for example, PSS and SSS. System information is transmitted, for example, via PBCH or PDSCH, and is also called broadcast information. Synchronization signals and system information may be called SSB (SS / PBCH block). As shown in Figure 1, base station 10 transmits control signals or data to terminal 20 via DL (Downlink) and receives control signals or data from terminal 20 via UL (Uplink). Both base station 10 and terminal 20 are capable of transmitting and receiving signals using beamforming. Furthermore, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 can apply MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) communication to DL or UL. Also, both the base station 10 and the terminal 20 may communicate via Carrier Aggregation (CA) through secondary cells (SCell) and primary cells (PCell). Additionally, the terminal 20 may communicate via Dual Connectivity (DC) through the primary cell of base station 10 and the primary secondary cell group cell (PSCell) of another base station 10.

[0023] Terminal 20 is a communication device equipped with wireless communication capabilities, such as a smartphone, mobile phone, tablet, wearable device, or M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication module. As shown in Figure 1, Terminal 20 receives control signals or data from the base station 10 via DL and transmits control signals or data to the base station 10 via UL, thereby utilizing various communication services provided by the wireless communication system. Terminal 20 also receives various reference signals transmitted from the base station 10 and performs propagation path quality measurement based on the reception results of said reference signals.

[0024] Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 shows an example configuration of a wireless communication system when DC (Dual connectivity) is performed. As shown in Figure 2, a base station 10A, which will be an MN (Master Node), and a base station 10B, which will be an SN (Secondary Node), are provided. Base stations 10A and 10B are each connected to the core network. Terminal 20 can communicate with both base station 10A and base station 10B.

[0025] A cell group provided by base station 10A, which is an MN (Mobile Network), is called an MCG (Master Cell Group), and a cell group provided by base station 10B, which is an SN (Mobile Network), is called an SCG (Secondary Cell Group). In a data center, an MCG consists of one PCell and one or more SCells, and an SCG consists of one PSCell (Primary SCG Cell) and one or more SCells.

[0026] The processing operations in this embodiment may be performed using the system configuration shown in Figure 1, the system configuration shown in Figure 2, or any other system configuration. In the following description, " / " means "and / or" unless otherwise specified, or unless it is clear from the context that it has a different meaning.

[0027] 3GPP Rel-19 (RAN#104) has been updated with improvements for handling Cross-Link Interference (CLI) as a work item for NR duplex operation in NR. Figures 3 to 11 are diagrams illustrating an example of a standard specification relating to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3, the specification for improvements for CLI handling and L1-based UE vs. UE CLI measurement and reporting based on the existing CSI framework will be discussed. The latter will include content regarding priority rules for multiple CSI reports.

[0028] At the RAN1#118bis / #119 meeting, it was agreed to extend CSI-ResourceConfig to include two CLI measurement resource set lists for SRS-RSRP and CLI-RSSI measurements, based on the Rel-16 SRS-ResourceConfigCLI and rssi-ResourceConfigCLI defined in MeasObjectCLI for L3-based SRS-RSRP and CLI-RSSI measurements, as shown in Figure 4. It was also agreed that the resourceType of the two new CLI measurement resource set lists can be set to periodic, quasi-periodic, or aperiodic, and that the number of periodic / quasi-periodic CLI measurement resource sets will be limited to 1 in CSI-ResourceConfig, as in the current specification.

[0029] Furthermore, a new Information Element (IE), SRS-RSRP-MeasurementResourceSet, was defined, which includes a set of SRS-RSRP-MeasurementResources for L1 SRS-RSRP measurements.

[0030] Furthermore, a new IE (CLI-RSSI-MeasurementResourceSet) was defined, which includes a set of CLI-RSSI-MeasurementResources for L1 CLI-RSSI measurements.

[0031] Furthermore, at the RAN1#118bis / #119 meeting, it was agreed that the following would be supported in the IE CSI-AperiodicTriggerStateList for aperiodic L1 CLI-RSSI / CLI-SRS-RSRP reports on PUSCH, as shown in Figure 5.

[0032] Agreement: In the CSI-AssociatedReportConfigInfo list a, TCI states are optionally configured with qcl-Type set to typeD, and the TCI states correspond to resources within the set of CLI measurement resources indicated by CSI-AssociatedReportConfigInfo.

[0033] Here, it can be said that the TCI state configuration / indication mechanism for AP (Aperiodic) CLI measurement resources is very similar to the TCI state configuration / indication mechanism for AP CSI-RS resources.

[0034] Furthermore, for non-periodic L1 CLI-RSSI / CLI-SRS-RSRP reporting on PUSCH based on a set of periodic CLI measurement resources, it was agreed that the QCL-typed TCI state for CLI measurement resources within the periodic CLI measurement resource set is configured by higher-level parameters for each CLI measurement resource (for all resources in the set, or none).

[0035] Furthermore, for aperiodic L1 CLI-RSSI / CLI-SRS-RSRP reporting on PUSCH based on a set of quasi-periodic CLI measurement resources, it was agreed that gNB may activate and deactivate configured quasi-periodic CLI measurement resource sets by sending a new SP CLI measurement resource set activation / deactivation MAC CE.

[0036] Here, it can be said that the TCI state configuration / indication mechanism for P (periodic) / SP (Semi-periodic) CLI measurement resources is very similar to the TCI state configuration / indication mechanism for P / SP CSI-RS resources.

[0037] At the RAN1#120 meeting, as shown in Figure 6, the following options (Alt.1 and Alt.2) were considered when the scheduling offset between the last symbol of the PDCCH carrying the trigger DCI for aperiodic CLI reporting and the first symbol of the aperiodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or CLI-RSSI measurement resource is smaller than the threshold beamSwitchTiming reported by the UE.

[0038] Alt.1: The UE does not expect the scheduling offset between the last symbol of the PDCCH carrying the trigger DCI for the AP CLI and the first symbol of the aperiodic CLI SRS-RSRP or CLI-RSSI resource to be configured to be smaller than the threshold beamSwitchTiming reported by the UE.

[0039] Alt.2: The same default beam rules as defined in TS38.214 for AP CSI-RS resources can be applied to AP CLI SRS-RSRP or CLI-RSSI resources.

[0040] FIG. 7 shows the description in Section 5.2.1.5.1 of TS 38.214 (Non-Patent Document 3) (when triggering PDCCH and the CSI-RS have same SCS). FIG. 7 describes that: "For each aperiodic CSI-RS resource in the CSI-RS resource set associated with each CSI triggering state, the UE is indicated the quasi co-location configuration and quasi co-location type of the quasi co-location RS source through higher layer signaling of qcl-info including a reference list of TCI-States for aperiodic CSI-RS resources associated with the CSI triggering state, as described in Section 5.1.5. If the state referenced in the list is configured by referencing an RS with qcl-Type set to 'typeD', the RS may be an SS / PBCH block located on the same or different CC / DL BWP, or a periodically or semi-periodically configured CSI-RS resource located on the same or different CC / DL BWP." Furthermore, FIG. 7 specifies the operation when the slot offset between the PDCCH and the first symbol of the AP CSI-RS is smaller than the required switching time. Here, the operation specified in FIG. 7 is an operation in communication by multiple TRP (Transmission Reception Point), and is not considered in SBFD of Rel-19.

[0041] Figure 8 shows a continuation of the description in Section 5.2.1.5.1 of TS 38.214 (Non-Patent Literature 3), which is shown in area 800 of Figure 8. The description in area 800 specifies the operation in single TRP communication. Specifically, at the beginning of area 800 it states, "Otherwise, if there is another DL signal having a TCI state indicated by the same symbol as CSI-RS, the UE shall also apply the QCL assumption of the other DL signal when receiving aperiodic CSI-RS." Here, it is stated that the other DL signal is PDSCH, periodic CSI-RS, semi-persistent CSI-RS, and aperiodic CSI-RS, whose offset value is greater than a defined value.

[0042] Figure 9 shows a continuation of Figure 8 in section 5.2.1.5.1 of TS 38.214 (Non-Patent Literature 3). Figure 9 states that if the slot offset between the PDCCH and the first symbol of the AP CSI-RS is greater than or equal to the required switching time, the terminal assumes that the TCI state indicated for the AP CSI-RS resource is applied.

[0043] Figure 10 is a description from section 5.2.1.5.1a of TS 38.214 (Non-Patent Literature 3). While section 5.2.1.5.1 in Figures 7 to 9 describes the case where the triggering PDCCH and CSI-RS are the same neurology / SCS, section 5.2.1.5a in Figure 10 describes the case where the triggering PDCCH and CSI-RS are different neurology / SCS. Figure 10 shows that when the triggering PDCCH and CSI-RS are different neurology / SCS, the required switching time is longer (+d・2) compared to the case where they are the same. μCSIRS / 2 μPDCCH It is stated that these settings are to be configured. Here, μCSIRS and μPDCCH are the neurologic values ​​for CSI-RS and PDCCH, respectively.

[0044] (Example) In 3GPP, when the scheduling offset between "the last symbol of a PDCCH including DCI that triggers an aperiodic (AP) CLI report" and "the first symbol of an aperiodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or a CLI-RSSI measurement resource" is smaller than the threshold (beamSwitchTiming) reported by a terminal, the following two solutions are discussed. Note that the aperiodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or the CLI-RSSI measurement resource may also be expressed as a signal carried by the measurement resource.

[0045] (Alt. 1) A terminal does not assume that the scheduling offset between the last symbol of a PDCCH including DCI that triggers an AP CLI and the first symbol of an aperiodic CLI SRS-RSRP or CLI-RSSI resource is set to be smaller than the threshold beamSwitchTiming reported by the terminal.

[0046] (Alt. 2) The default beam rule for AP CSI-RS resources defined in existing specifications (Non-Patent Document 3) is applied to AP CLI SRS-RSRP or CLI-RSSI resources.

[0047] Here, in the default beam rule for AP CSI-RS, the default beam may possibly reference another defined DL signal within the same symbol as the AP CSI-RS. Therefore, when reusing the same default beam rule for an AP L1 CLI measurement resource, the definition of another DL signal in the AP L1 CLI measurement resource may not completely match the current definition. Furthermore, as for the time required to apply an indicated TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication) state, only the value set by beamSwitchTiming is covered. However, the required switching time may be a value other than the beamSwitchTiming in some cases. In addition, with the introduction of L1 SRS-RSRP and L1 CLI-RSSI measurement resources, the definition of other DL signals in AP CSI-RS may also need to be updated.

[0048] This embodiment describes how to appropriately apply the default beam rules of an AP CSI-RS resource to an AP CLI SRS-RSRP resource or a CLI-RSSI resource.

[0049] (Method 1) With respect to Alt.2 described above, when the default beam rule of AP CSI-RS is reused for AP L1 CLI measurement resources, if the scheduling offset between the last symbol of the PDCCH carrying the triggering DCI for aperiodic CLI reporting and the first symbol of the aperiodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or CLI-RSSI measurement resource is smaller than the time required to apply the indicated TCI state, and if there is another DL signal with the indicated TCI state within the same symbol as the aperiodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or CLI-RSSI measurement resource, then terminal 20 also applies the QCL assumption of the other DL signal when measuring the aperiodic L1 SRS-RSRP / CLI-RSSI measurement resource.

[0050] Here, the other DL signals include the PDSCH, periodic CSI-RS, semi-persistent CSI-RS, and aperiodic CSI-RS described in region 800 of Figure 8, as well as the L1 CLI measurement resource. The L1 CLI measurement resource represents / includes periodic L1 SRS-RSRP measurement resources, quasi-periodic L1 SRS-RSRP measurement resources, and aperiodic L1 SRS-RSRP measurement resources, and / or periodic L1 CLI-RSSI measurement resources, quasi-periodic L1 CLI-RSSI measurement resources, and aperiodic L1 CLI-RSSI measurement resources, which have a scheduling offset of more than the time required to apply the indicated TCI state.

[0051] Furthermore, terminal 20 may assume that, if the PDCCH triggering and the triggered AP L1 SRS-RSRP / CLI-RSSI measurement resource have the same SCS, the required time to apply the indicated TCI state will be the following value.

[0052] The value reported by terminal 20 as beamSwitchTiming (terminal reporting threshold) was {14, 28, 48}・2 Ｃ It is one of the options, and if enableBeamSwitchTiming is not set, it is the value reported.

[0053] The value reported by terminal 20 as beamSwitchTiming-r16 (terminal reporting threshold) was 48.2 Ｃ Therefore, if enableBeamSwitchTiming is set, it is the value reported.

[0054] Here, C = max(0, μ(CLIRS)-3), where μ(CLIRS) is the neurology for either the AP L1 SRS-RSRP measurement resource or the AP L1 CLI-RSSI measurement resource. Different values ​​are assigned to the neurology for each SCS.

[0055] As described above, terminal 20 may assume that, if the PDCCH triggering and the triggered AP L1 SRS-RSRP / CLI-RSSI measurement resource have the same SCS, the time required to apply the indicated TCI state is determined based on the value reported by its own device (terminal-reported threshold).

[0056] Furthermore, if terminal 20 has different SCSs for PDCCH triggering and the triggered AP L1 SRS-RSRP / CLI-RSSI measurement resource, it may be assumed that the required time to apply the indicated TCI state is as follows:

[0057] The value reported by terminal 20 as beamSwitchTiming (terminal reporting threshold) was {14, 28, 48}・2 Ｃ It is one of the +D options, and if enableBeamSwitchTiming is not set, it is the value reported.

[0058] The value reported by terminal 20 as beamSwitchTiming-r16 (terminal reporting threshold) was 48.2 Ｃ If +D is enabled and enableBeamSwitchTiming is set, the reported value is the correct one.

[0059] Here, C = max(0, μ(CLIRS)-3), where μ(CLIRS) is the neurology for either the AP L1 SRS-RSRP measurement resource or the AP L1 CLI-RSSI measurement resource. Different values ​​are assigned to the neurology for each SCS.

[0060] Also, D = d・2 μ(CLIRS) / 2 μ(PDCCH) Here, d is a predetermined offset value, μ(CLIRS) is the neurology for the AP L1 SRS-RSRP measurement resource or AP L1 CLI-RSSI measurement resource, and μ(PDCCH) is the neurology for PDCCH.

[0061] As described above, if terminal 20 has different SCSs for PDCCH triggering and the triggered AP L1 SRS-RSRP / CLI-RSSI measurement resource, it may be assumed that the time required to apply the indicated TCI state is determined based on the value reported by the device (terminal-reported threshold) plus an offset value (D).

[0062] (Variations) Variations of Method 1 will be explained.

[0063] In this modified example, terminal 20 does not expect that the scheduling offset between the last symbol of the PDCCH carrying the trigger DCI for the AP CLI and the first symbol of the aperiodic CLI SRS-RSRP or CLI-RSSI resource will be configured to be smaller than the "time required to apply the indicated TCI state".

[0064] (Method 2) Method 2 will now be described. Method 2 is similar to Method 1, but in determining the default beam for AP CSI-RS as defined in TS 38.214 (Non-Patent Literature 3), if the scheduling offset between the last symbol of the PDCCH carrying the triggering DCI for aperiodic CLI reporting and the first symbol of the aperiodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or CLI-RSSI measurement resource is smaller than the time required to apply the indicated TCI state, and if there is another DL signal with the indicated TCI state within the same symbol as the aperiodic SRS-RSRP measurement resource or CLI-RSSI measurement resource, then terminal 20 will also apply the QCL assumption of the other DL signal when receiving the aperiodic CSI-RS.

[0065] Here, the other DL signals include the PDSCH, periodic CSI-RS, semi-persistent CSI-RS, and aperiodic CSI-RS described in region 800 of Figure 8, as well as the L1 CLI measurement resource. The L1 CLI measurement resource represents / includes periodic L1 SRS-RSRP measurement resources, quasi-periodic L1 SRS-RSRP measurement resources, and aperiodic L1 SRS-RSRP measurement resources, and / or periodic L1 CLI-RSSI measurement resources, quasi-periodic L1 CLI-RSSI measurement resources, and aperiodic L1 CLI-RSSI measurement resources, which have a scheduling offset of more than the time required to apply the indicated TCI state.

[0066] Here, for example, in 3GPP, if Alt.1 is adopted, the statement "has a scheduling offset greater than or equal to the time required to apply the indicated TCI state" does not need to be included.

[0067] Furthermore, the description of the L1 CLI measurement resource, which is added as another DL signal, may be described in the location shown as (X) in Figure 10 in TS 38.214 (Non-Patent Document 3).

[0076] The above-described embodiment allows the default beam rules for AP CSI-RS resources to be appropriately applied to AP CLI SRS-RSRP resources or CLI-RSSI resources.

[0077] (Device Configuration) Next, an example of the functional configuration of the base station 10 and terminal 20 that perform the processes and operations described above will be explained. The base station 10 and terminal 20 include the functions to carry out the above-described embodiment. However, the base station 10 and terminal 20 may each be equipped with only some of the functions in the embodiment.

[0078] <Base Station 10> Figure 12 is a diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of a base station 10 in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 12, the base station 10 has a transmitting unit 110, a receiving unit 120, a setting unit 130, and a control unit 140. The functional configuration shown in Figure 12 is merely an example.

Furthermore, "judgment" and "decision" can include considering something as having been "judged" or "decided" after resolving, selecting, choosing, establishing, comparing, etc. In other words, "judgment" and "decision" can include considering something as having been "judged" or "decided" after some action. Also, "judgment (decision)" can be reinterpreted as "assuming," "expecting," or "considering."

[0134] The terms “connected,” “coupled,” or any variation thereof, mean any direct or indirect connection or coupling between two or more elements, and may include the presence of one or more intermediate elements between two elements that are “connected” or “coupled” with each other. The coupling or connection between elements may be physical, logical, or a combination thereof. For example, “connection” may be reinterpreted as “access.” As used in this disclosure, two elements may be considered to be “connected” or “coupled” with each other using at least one of one or more wires, cables, and printed electrical connections, and, in some non-limiting and non-exclusive examples, electromagnetic energy having wavelengths in the radio frequency domain, microwave domain, and optical (both visible and invisible) domain.

[0135] The reference signal can also be abbreviated as RS (Reference Signal), and may be called a pilot depending on the applicable standard.

[0136] In this disclosure, the phrase "based on" does not mean "based solely on" unless otherwise specified. In other words, the phrase "based on" means both "based solely on" and "based at least on."

[0137] Any reference to elements using the designations “first,” “second,” etc., as used in this disclosure does not generally limit the quantity or order of those elements. These designations may be used in this disclosure as a convenient way to distinguish between two or more elements. Accordingly, references to the first and second elements do not imply that only two elements may be employed, or that the first element must precede the second element in any way.

[0138] In the configuration of each of the above devices, "means" may be replaced with "part," "circuit," "device," etc.

[0139] Where the terms “include,” “including,” and variations thereof are used in this disclosure, these terms are intended to be inclusive, as is the term “comprising.” Furthermore, the term “or” as used in this disclosure is not intended to mean exclusive OR.

[0140] A wireless frame may consist of one or more frames in the time domain. Each of these frames in the time domain may be called a subframe. A subframe may further consist of one or more slots in the time domain. A subframe may have a fixed time length (e.g., 1 ms) that is independent of numerology.

[0141] Numerical logic may be communication parameters applied to at least one of the transmission and reception of a signal or channel. Numerical logic may include, for example, at least one of the following: subcarrier spacing (SCS), bandwidth, symbol length, cyclic prefix length, transmission time interval (TTI), number of symbols per TTI, radio frame configuration, specific filtering processes performed by the transceiver in the frequency domain, and specific windowing processes performed by the transceiver in the time domain.

[0142] A slot may consist of one or more symbols in the time domain (such as OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols, SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) symbols, etc.). A slot may also be a time unit based on neurologic.

[0143] A slot may include multiple minislots. Each minislot may consist of one or more symbols in the time domain. Minislots may also be called subslots. Minislots may consist of fewer symbols than a slot. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted in a time unit larger than a minislot may be called a PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type A. A PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using a minislot may be called a PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type B.

[0144] Wireless frames, subframes, slots, minislots, and symbols all represent units of time when transmitting a signal. Different names may be used for each of these terms.

[0145] For example, one subframe may be called a Transmission Time Interval (TTI), multiple consecutive subframes may be called a TTI, or one slot or one minislot may be called a TTI. In other words, at least one of a subframe and a TTI may be a subframe in existing LTE (1 ms), a period shorter than 1 ms (e.g., 1-13 symbols), or a period longer than 1 ms. Note that the unit representing the TTI may be called a slot, minislot, etc., instead of a subframe.

[0146] Here, TTI refers to, for example, the smallest time unit for scheduling in wireless communication. For example, in an LTE system, the base station schedules each terminal 20 to allocate wireless resources (such as the frequency bandwidth and transmission power available to each terminal 20) in TTI units. However, the definition of TTI is not limited to this.

[0147] TTI may be a transmission time unit for channel-encoded data packets (transport blocks), code blocks, code words, etc., or it may be a processing unit for scheduling, link adaptation, etc. When a TTI is given, the actual time interval (e.g., number of symbols) in which the transport block, code block, code word, etc. are mapped may be shorter than the TTI.

[0148] Furthermore, if one slot or one mini-slot is referred to as a TTI, then one or more TTIs (i.e., one or more slots or one or more mini-slots) may constitute the minimum time unit for scheduling. In addition, the number of slots (number of mini-slots) that constitute this minimum time unit for scheduling may be controlled.

[0149] A TTI with a time length of 1 ms may be called a normal TTI, a long TTI, a normal subframe, a long subframe, a slot, etc. A TTI shorter than a normal TTI may be called a shortened TTI, a short TTI, a partial or fractional TTI, a shortened subframe, a short subframe, a mini slot, a sub slot, a slot, etc.

[0150] Furthermore, long TTIs (e.g., normal TTIs, subframes, etc.) may be interpreted as TTIs with a time length exceeding 1 ms, and short TTIs (e.g., shortened TTIs, etc.) may be interpreted as TTIs with a TTI length less than that of a long TTI but 1 ms or more.

[0151] A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in the time domain and frequency domain, and in the frequency domain, it may contain one or more consecutive subcarriers. The number of subcarriers in an RB may be the same regardless of the neurology, for example, 12. The number of subcarriers in an RB may be determined based on the neurology.

[0152] Furthermore, the time domain of the RB may contain one or more symbols and may be the length of one slot, one minislot, one subframe, or one TTI. One TTI, one subframe, etc., may each consist of one or more resource blocks.

[0153] One or more RBs may also be called a Physical RB (PRB), Sub-Carrier Group (SCG), Resource Element Group (REG), PRB pair, RB pair, etc.

[0154] Furthermore, a resource block may consist of one or more resource elements (REs). For example, one RE may be a radio resource area comprising one subcarrier and one symbol.

[0155] A Bandwidth Part (BWP), also known as a partial bandwidth, may represent a subset of consecutive common resource blocks (RBs) for a particular neurology in a given carrier. These common RBs may be identified by an index of the RBs relative to a common reference point of the carrier. The PRBs may be defined and numbered within a given BWP.

[0156] A BWP may include a BWP for UL (UL BWP) and a BWP for DL ​​(DL BWP). One or more BWPs may be set within a single carrier for a UE.

[0157] At least one of the configured BWPs may be active, and the UE does not need to assume that it will transmit or receive a predetermined signal / channel outside of the active BWP. In this disclosure, terms such as "cell" and "carrier" may be read as "BWP".

[0158] The structures described above, such as wireless frames, subframes, slots, minislots, and symbols, are merely illustrative. For example, the number of subframes included in a wireless frame, the number of slots per subframe or wireless frame, the number of minislots included in a slot, the number of symbols and RBs included in a slot or minislot, the number of subcarriers included in an RB, and the number of symbols, symbol length, and cyclic prefix (CP) length within a TTI can be varied in various ways.

[0159] In this disclosure, if articles are added through translation, such as a, an, and the in English, this disclosure may include the fact that the noun following these articles is plural.

[0160] In this disclosure, the term "A and B are different" may mean "A and B are different from each other." The term may also mean "A and B are each different from C." Terms such as "separate" and "combine" may be interpreted similarly to "different."

[0161] Each aspect / embodiment described in this disclosure may be used individually, in combination, or switched between as needed during implementation. Furthermore, notification of specific information (e.g., notification that "X is") is not limited to explicit notification, but may also be implicit (e.g., by not providing such notification).

[0162] Although the present disclosure has been described in detail above, it will be clear to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described herein. The present disclosure can be implemented in modified and altered forms without departing from the intent and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the claims. Therefore, the descriptions in the present disclosure are illustrative and not intended to be restrictive in any way.
