Abstract

Disclosed are a method for transmitting and receiving an uplink in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefore. Specifically, a method for uplink transmission by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system may include: receiving, from a base station, Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) configuration information, wherein the SRS configuration information includes a parameter set for power control of SRS for each SRS resource set and the SRS resource set includes one or more SRS resources; determining a transmission power of the SRS, based on the parameter set for power control of the SRS; and transmitting the SRS to the base station.

Claims (35)

1. A method for transmitting an uplink shared channel by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, Downlink Control Information (DCI) for scheduling the uplink shared channel, wherein the DCI comprises a field for a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) Resource Indicator (SRI), and wherein each state of the field is related with an identifier for a power control information;

determining a transmission power for the uplink shared channel, using the power control information determined based on the field of the DCI; and

transmitting the uplink shared channel to the base station based on the transmission power.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a relation between each state of the field of the DCI and the identifier is configured via higher layer signaling.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on (i) a plurality of SRS resources are being indicated by the SRI, and (ii) a layer group being configured differently for each of the plurality of SRS resources, a parameter set for power control of the uplink shared channel is respectively determined for each layer group.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power of the uplink shared channel is determined, based on a downlink path-loss estimation value calculated by the UE using a downlink reference signal indicated by the power control information.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the downlink reference signal is changed by a Medium Access Control-Control Element (MAC-CE) transmitted by the base station.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission power of the uplink shared channel is determined further based on a downlink path-loss estimation value calculated by the UE using a downlink reference signal; and

wherein, based on the downlink reference signal not being provided by the base station, the downlink path-loss estimation value is calculated using a downlink reference signal having a relatively largest power level.

7. A User equipment (UE) configured to transmit an uplink shared channel in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a base station, Downlink Control Information (DCI) for scheduling the uplink shared channel, wherein the DCI comprises a field for a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI), and wherein each state of the field is related with an identifier for a power control information;

determining a transmission power for the uplink shared channel, using the power control information determined based on the field of the DCI; and

transmitting the uplink shared channel to the base station based on the transmission power.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein a relation between each state of the field of the DCI and the identifier is configured via higher layer signaling.

9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein, based on (i) a plurality of SRS resources being indicated by the SRI and (ii) a layer group being configured differently for each of the plurality of SRS resources, a parameter set for power control of the uplink shared channel is respectively determined for each layer group.

10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the transmission power of the uplink shared channel is determined, based on a downlink path-loss estimation value calculated by the UE using a downlink reference signal indicated by the power control information.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the downlink reference signal is changed by a Medium Access Control-Control Element (MAC-CE) transmitted by the base station.

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the transmission power for the uplink shared channel is determined further based on a downlink path-loss estimation value calculated by the UE using a downlink reference signal; and

wherein, based on the downlink reference signal being not provided by the base station, the downlink path-loss estimation value is calculated using a downlink reference signal having a relatively largest power level.

13. An apparatus for transmitting a uplink shared channel in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling the uplink shared channel, wherein the DCI comprises a field for a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI), and wherein each state of the field is related with an identifier for a power control information;

determining a transmission power for the uplink shared channel, using the power control information determined based on the field of the DCI; and

transmitting the uplink shared channel to the base station based on the transmission power.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein a relation between each state of the field of the DCI and the identifier is configured via higher layer signaling.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein, based on (i) a plurality of SRS resources being indicated by the SRI and (ii) a layer group being configured differently for each of the plurality of SRS resources, a parameter set for power control of the uplink shared channel is respectively determined for each layer group.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the transmission power of the uplink shared channel is determined, based on a downlink path-loss estimation value calculated by the UE using a downlink reference signal indicated by the power control information.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the downlink reference signal is changed by a Medium Access Control-Control Element (MAC-CE) transmitted by the base station.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the transmission power for the uplink shared channel is further based on a downlink path-loss estimation value calculated by the UE using a downlink reference signal; and

based on the downlink reference signal being not provided by the base station, the downlink path-loss estimation value is calculated using a downlink reference signal having a relatively largest power level.
