Abstract

Provided are a method and a device for a terminal executing a scheduling request in wireless communication. The method may include: receiving, from a base station, scheduling request configuration information for configuring a scheduling request using a multi-scheduling request resource; allocating the multi-scheduling request resource according to the scheduling request configuration information; and transmitting, to the base station, a multi-scheduling request using the multi-scheduling request resource.

Claims (48)

1. A base station in wireless communications, the base station comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

a controller which controls the transmitter and the receiver to:

transmit, to one wireless device, multi-beam based scheduling request configuration information comprising first scheduling request configuration index information for a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource and second scheduling request configuration index information for a second physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, wherein each of the first scheduling request configuration index information and the second scheduling request configuration index information is associated with a corresponding PUCCH resource index information; and

receive, from the one wireless device, a first scheduling request using the first PUCCH resource and a second scheduling request using the second PUCCH resource, in one or more symbols in one slot through a new radio (NR) carrier having a subcarrier spacing of 2n*15 kHz, where n is 0 or a natural number greater than 0, wherein the first scheduling request is not same as the second scheduling request, and wherein the first PUCCH resource is not same as the second PUCCH resource,

wherein the first and second PUCCH resources are configured based on the multi-beam, wherein the first and second PUCCH resources are mapped to the multi-beam on one-to-one basis, and

wherein the scheduling requests are transmitted in a specific uplink radio frame, and retransmission is performed with the time duration of a subframe Np, and a transmission position in the subframe is arranged in the first half or the second half of the subframe.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:

the multiple scheduling request resources are consecutive time resources or resources based on a unit of a pre-configured time.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the pre-configured time unit is one of a radio frame, a slot, a mini-slot, a sub-slot, a subframe, or a symbol, or is a combination of two or more thereof.

4. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the multiple scheduling request resources relate to spatial sectors.

5. The base station according to claim 1 , wherein the first scheduling request and the second scheduling request are transmitted simultaneously.

6. An operation method of a wireless device, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, multi-beam scheduling request configuration information comprising first scheduling request configuration index information for a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, and second scheduling request configuration index information for a second physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, wherein each of the first scheduling request configuration index information and the second scheduling request configuration index information is associated with a corresponding PUCCH resource index information; and

transmitting, to the base station, a first scheduling request using the first PUCCH resource and a second scheduling request using the second PUCCH resource, in one or more symbols in one slot through a new radio (NR) carrier having a subcarrier spacing of 2n*15 kHz, where n is 0 or a natural number greater than 0, wherein the first scheduling request is not same as the second scheduling request, and wherein the first PUCCH resource is not same as the second PUCCH resource,

wherein the first and second PUCCH resources are configured based on the multi-beam, wherein the first and second PUCCH resources are mapped to the multi-beam on one-to-one basis, and

wherein the scheduling requests are transmitted in a specific uplink radio frame, and retransmission is performed with the time duration of a subframe Np, and a transmission position in the subframe is arranged in the first half or the second half of the subframe.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein: the multiple scheduling request resources are consecutive time resources based on a unit of a pre-configured time.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the pre-configured time unit is

one of a radio frame, a slot, a mini-slot, a sub-slot, a subframe, or a symbol, or is a combination of two or more thereof.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the multiple scheduling request resources relate to spatial sectors.

10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the first scheduling request and the second scheduling request are transmitted simultaneously.

11. A user equipment, the user equipment comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

a controller which controls the transmitter and the receiver to:

receive, from a base station, multi-beam based scheduling request configuration information comprising first scheduling request configuration index information for a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource and second scheduling request configuration index information for a second physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, wherein each of the first scheduling request configuration index information and the second scheduling request configuration index information is associated with a corresponding PUCCH resource index information; and

retransmission is performed with the time duration of a subframe Np, and a transmission position in the subframe is arranged in the first half or the second half of the subframe.

12. The user equipment according to claim 11 , wherein:

the multiple scheduling request resources are consecutive resources based on a unit of a pre-configured time.

13. The user equipment according to claim 12 , wherein the pre-configured time unit is one of a radio frame, a slot, a mini-slot, a sub-slot, a subframe, or a symbol, or is a c combination of two or more thereof.

14. The user equipment according to claim 11 , wherein the multiple scheduling request resources relate to spatial sectors.

15. The user equipment according to claim 11 , wherein the first scheduling request and the second scheduling request are transmitted simultaneously.

16. An operation method of a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment, multi-beam based scheduling request configuration information comprising first scheduling request configuration index information for a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, and second scheduling request configuration index information for a second physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, wherein each of the first scheduling request configuration index information and the second scheduling request configuration index information is associated with a corresponding PUCCH resource index information; and

receiving, from the user equipment, a first scheduling request using the first PUCCH resource and a second scheduling request using the second PUCCH resource, in one or more symbols in one slot through a new radio (NR) carrier having a subcarrier spacing of 2n*15 kHz, where n is 0 or a natural number greater than 0, wherein the first scheduling request is not same as the second scheduling request, and wherein the first PUCCH resource is not same as the second PUCCH resource,
