Abstract

The disclosure relates to a communication technique and a system for fusing a 5G communication system with IoT technology to support a higher data rate after a 4G system. The disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related services, etc.), based on 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology.

Claims (48)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configuration, the PUCCH configuration including information on a number of slots and information on a length of a subslot;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including resource allocation information;

receiving, from the base station, data based on the PDSCH configuration and the resource allocation information; and

performing repetition of PUCCH transmission for the data over N slots including a number of symbols indicated by the length of the subslot based on the PUCCH configuration, wherein N indicates the number of slots,

wherein the repetition of the PUCCH transmission is performed based on alternating between multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) per L repetitions of the PUCCH transmission, and

wherein an offset between the repetition of the PUCCH transmission is identified based on the PUCCH configuration.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a value of L is 1 or 2, and

wherein the PUCCH includes hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ ACK) information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the length of the subslot is one of 2 or 7 symbols.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH configuration further includes information on a number of symbols and an index of a start symbol.

5. A method performed by a base station in a communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configuration, the PUCCH configuration including information on a number of slots and information on a length of a subslot;

transmitting, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI) including resource allocation information;

transmitting, to the terminal, data based on the PDSCH configuration and the resource allocation information; and

receiving, from the terminal, repetition of PUCCH transmission for the data over N slots including a number of symbols indicated by the length of the subslot based on the PUCCH configuration, wherein N indicates the number of slots,

wherein the repetition of the PUCCH transmission is performed based on alternating between multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) per L repetitions of the PUCCH transmission, and

wherein an offset between the repetition of the PUCCH transmission is identified based on the PUCCH configuration.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a value of L is 1 or 2, and

wherein the PUCCH includes hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ ACK) information.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the length of the subslot is one of 2 or 7 symbols.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the PUCCH configuration further includes information on a number of symbols and an index of a start symbol.

9. A terminal in a communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled to the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configuration, the PUCCH configuration including information on a number of slots and information on a length of a subslot,

receive, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including resource allocation information,

receive, from the base station, data based on the PDSCH configuration and the resource allocation information, and

perform repetition of PUCCH transmission for the data over N slots including a number of symbols indicated by the length of the subslot based on the PUCCH configuration, wherein N indicates the number of slots,

wherein the repetition of the PUCCH transmission is performed based on alternating between multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) per L repetitions of the PUCCH transmission, and

wherein an offset between the repetition of the PUCCH transmission is identified based on the PUCCH configuration.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein a value of L is 1 or 2, and

wherein the PUCCH includes hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ ACK) information.

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the length of the subslot is one of 2 or 7 symbols.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the PUCCH configuration further includes information on a number of symbols and an index of a start symbol.

13. A base station in a communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled to the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) configuration, the PUCCH configuration including information on a number of slots and information on a length of a subslot,

transmit, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI) including resource allocation information,

transmit, to the terminal, data based on the PDSCH configuration and the resource allocation information, and

receive, from the terminal, repetition of PUCCH transmission for the data over N slots including a number of symbols indicated by the length of the subslot based on the PUCCH configuration, wherein N indicates the number of slots,

wherein the repetition of the PUCCH transmission is performed based on alternating between multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) per L repetitions of the PUCCH transmission, and

wherein an offset between the repetition of the PUCCH transmission is identified based on the PUCCH configuration.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein a value of L is 1 or 2, and

wherein the PUCCH includes hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledge (HARQ ACK) information.

15. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the length of the subslot is one of 2 or 7 symbols, and

wherein the PUCCH configuration further includes information on a number of symbols and an index of a start symbol.
