Abstract

A method for operating a user equipment in a wireless communication is provided as an embodiment of the present invention. The method may include: receiving modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information for each of two or more codewords from a base station (BS); determining a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna port to which a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) antenna port is mapped based on the MCS information; and receiving a PTRS based on the DMRS antenna port, wherein a DMRS antenna port with the lowest index among one or more DMRS antenna ports included in a codeword with the highest MCS among the two or more codewords may be determined as the DMRS antenna port.

Claims (30)

1. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information for each of two codewords from a base station (BS);

determining a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) antenna port that is mapped to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna port among a plurality of DMRS antenna ports for the two codewords based on the MCS information,

wherein the determining the PTRS antenna port includes:

when the two codewords have a different MCS, determining that the PTRS antenna port is mapped to a DMRS antenna port with the lowest index among one or more DMRS antenna ports for a codeword with the highest MCS among the two codewords, and

when the two codewords have the same MCS, determining that the PTRS antenna port is mapped to a DMRS antenna port with the lowest index among one or more DMRS antenna ports for the two codewords; and

receiving a PTRS based on the determined PTRS antenna port.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein all DMRS antenna ports included in the two codewords belong to one DMRS antenna port group.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein when all DMRS antenna ports included in the two codewords belong to two or more DMRS antenna port groups, the number of PTRS antenna ports is equal to or less than the number of two or more DMRS antenna port groups.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising receiving information on the number of PTRS antenna ports from the BS.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein when all DMRS antenna ports included in the two codewords belong to the two or more DMRS antenna port groups and, the number of PTRS antenna ports is one, the DMRS antenna port is determined as a DMRS antenna port with the lowest index among one or more DMRS antenna ports belonging to a DMRS antenna port group included in the codeword with the highest MCS among the two codewords.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the BS, channel quality information (CQI) for each of the two codewords; and

transmitting, to the BS, the layer index of a layer with the best channel quality among one or more layers included in a codewords with the highest CQI among the two codewords.

7. A user equipment (UE) operating in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals to and from a base station (BS); and

a processor connected to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive modulation and coding scheme (MCS) information for each of two or more codewords from the BS;

determine a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) antenna port that is mapped to a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna port among a plurality of DMRS antenna ports for the two codewords based on the MCS information,

wherein, when the two codewords have a different MCS, the processor determines that the PTRS antenna port is mapped to a DMRS antenna port with the lowest index among one or more DMRS antenna ports for a codeword with the highest MCS among the two codewords, and

wherein, when the two codewords have the same MCS, the processor determines that the PTRS antenna port is mapped to a DMRS antenna port with the lowest index among one or more DMRS antenna ports for the two codewords; and

receive a PTRS based on the determined PTRS antenna port.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein all DMRS antenna ports included in the two codewords belong to one DMRS antenna port group.

9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein when all DMRS antenna ports included in the two codewords belong to two or more DMRS antenna port groups, the number of PTRS antenna ports is equal to or less than the number of two or more DMRS antenna port groups.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive information on the number of PTRS antenna ports from the BS.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein when all DMRS antenna ports included in the two codewords belong to the two or more DMRS antenna port groups and, the number of PTRS antenna ports is one, the DMRS antenna port is determined as a DMRS antenna port with the lowest index among one or more DMRS antenna ports belonging to a DMRS antenna port group included in the codeword with the highest MCS among the two codewords.

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

transmit, to the BS, channel quality information (CQI) for each of the two codewords; and

transmit, to the BS, the layer index of a layer with the best channel quality among one or more layers included in a codewords with the highest CQI among the two codewords.
