Abstract

The present invention discloses a method of receiving a phase tracking reference signal by a user equipment in a wireless communication system and device for supporting the same.

Claims (30)

1. A method of receiving a phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining a time density based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for a PT-RS port; and

receiving the PT-RS via the PT-RS port, based on the determined time density,

wherein when a first PT-RS port related to a first MCS is allocated to the UE, the PT-RS is received through the first PT-RS port based on a first time density corresponding to the first MCS,

wherein when a second PT-RS port related to a second MCS is allocated to the UE, the PT-RS is received through the second PT-RS port based on a second time density corresponding to the second MCS,

wherein when both the first PT-RS port and the second PT-RS port are allocated to the UE, the PT-RS is received through the first PT-RS port or the second PT-RS port using only the time density corresponding to a higher MCS among the first MCS and the second MCS, and

wherein, based on a determination that (i) a first scheduled bandwidth for the first PT-RS port is equal to a second scheduled bandwidth for the second PT-RS port, and (ii) a first power boosting level for the first PT-RS port is different from a second power boosting level for the second PT-RS port, a first PT-RS received via the first PT-RS port has a different frequency density from a second PT-RS received via the second PT-RS port.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determined time density corresponds to one of following time densities: one PT-RS symbol per symbol, one PT-RS symbol every two symbols, or one PT-RS symbol every four symbols.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first PT-RS port and the second PT-RS port are associated to different demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) port groups, respectively.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the different DM-RS port groups correspond to different transmission reception points (TRPs).

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising receiving downlink control information (DCI) including information on MCSs for the different DM-RS port groups.

6. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiver; and

a processor connected to the receiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

determine a time density based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for a PT-RS port; and

receive the PT-RS via the PT-RS port, based on the determined time density,

wherein when a first PT-RS port related to a first MCS is allocated to the UE, the PT-RS is received through the first PT-RS port based on a first time density corresponding to the first MCS,

wherein when a second PT-RS port related to a second MCS is allocated to the UE, the PT-RS is received through the second PT-RS port based on a second time density corresponding to the second MCS,

wherein when both the first PT-RS port and the second PT-RS port are allocated to the UE, the PT-RS is received through the first PT-RS port or the second PT-RS port using only the time density corresponding to a higher MCS among the first MCS and the second MCS,

wherein a frequency density of the PT-RS is determined based on a scheduled bandwidth the first PT-RS port or the second PT-RS port and a power boosting level for the first PT-RS port or the second PT-RS port, and

wherein when the second MCS is higher than the first MCS, one PT-RS received via the first PT-RS port is received by applying 0 dB (decibel) power boosting, 3 dB power boosting, or 6 dB power boosting thereto based on signaling.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the determined time density corresponds to one of following time densities: one PT-RS symbol per symbol, one PT-RS symbol every two symbols, or one PT-RS symbol every four symbols.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the first PT-RS port and the second PT-RS port are associated to different demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) port groups, respectively.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the different DM-RS port groups correspond to different transmission reception points (TRPs).

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to receive downlink control information (DCI) including information on MCSs for the different DM-RS port groups.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE obtains information on the first MCS and the second MCS based on downlink control information (DCI).

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first MCS is different from the second MCS.

13. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to obtain information on the first MCS and the second MCS based on downlink control information (DCI).

14. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the first MCS is different from the second MCS.
