Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a user equipment (UE) may receive one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) each carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a field indicating a transmitting configuration index (TCI) state, and receive, based the one or more PDCCHs, one or more of a plurality of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs), wherein the plurality of PDSCHs may carry a same transport block (TB) in a plurality of TCI states, respectively, and the UE can determine, for each TCI state, whether a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) operation is enabled or disabled, and transmits HARQ-acknowledgement (ACK) information for the same TB through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) associated with an HARQ operation-enabled TCI state.

Claims (45)

1. A method of receiving a signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) each carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a field indicating a transmitting configuration index (TCI) state;

receiving, based the one or more PDCCHs, one or more of a plurality of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) related to a plurality of TCI states, respectively, and

transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the one or more PDSCHs,

wherein enabling/disabling of a HARQ operation is individually configured for each of the plurality of TCI states, and

wherein, based on the HARQ-operation being enabled for a first TCI state among the plurality of TCI states, the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted through a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) associated with the first TCI state.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of PDSCHs carry a same transport block (TB).

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each DCI of each PDCCH includes information indicating whether the HARQ operation is enabled or disabled for a corresponding TCI state.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a PUCCH transmit power control (TPC) command is not included in corresponding DCI which disables the HARQ operation for a corresponding TCI state.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the UE obtains the PUCCH TPC command only from HARQ operation enabling-DCI.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the DCI in each PDCCH schedules each PDSCH.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a resource of the first PUCCH is indicated by first DCI associated with the first TCI state.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more PDSCHs received by the UE are selected from among the plurality of the PDSCHs, based on each reference signal measurement performed for each TCI state.

9. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the UE performs one or more PUCCH transmissions related to the same TB reception, based on each reference signal measurement performed for each TCI state.

10. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the same TB carried by the plurality of the PDSCHs is related to a multicast broadcast service (MBS).

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the DCI is common for a group of UEs receiving the MBS.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium recorded thereon program codes for performing the method according to claim 1 .

13. A device for wireless communication, the device comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions, the operations comprising:

receiving one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) each carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a field indicating a transmitting configuration index (TCI) state; and

receiving, based the one or more PDCCHs, one or more of a plurality of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) related to a plurality of TCI states, respectively, and

transmitting hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for the one or more PDSCHs,

wherein enabling/disabling of a HARQ operation is individually configured for each of the plurality of TCI states, and

wherein, based on the HARQ-operation being enabled for a first TCI state among the plurality of TCI states, the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted through a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) associated with the first TCI state.

14. The device according to claim 13 , further comprising;

a transceiver configured to transmit or receive a signal under control of the processor.

15. The device according to claim 14 , wherein the device is a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system.

16. A method of transmitting a signal by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) each carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a field indicating a transmitting configuration index (TCI) state;

transmitting, based the one or more PDCCHs, a plurality of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) related to a plurality of TCI states, respectively, and

receiving hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for one or more of the plurality of PDSCHs,

wherein enabling/disabling of a HARQ operation is individually configured for each of the plurality of TCI states, and

wherein, based on the HARQ-operation being enabled for a first TCI state among the plurality of TCI states, the HARQ-ACK information is received through a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) associated with the first TCI state.

17. A device for wireless communication, the device comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions, the operations comprising:

transmitting one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) each carrying downlink control information (DCI) including a field indicating a transmitting configuration index (TCI) state;

transmitting, based the one or more PDCCHs, a plurality of physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) related to a plurality of TCI states, respectively, and

receiving hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information for one or more of the plurality of PDSCHs,

wherein enabling/disabling of a HARQ operation is individually configured for each of the plurality of TCI states, and

wherein, based on the HARQ-operation being enabled for a first TCI state among the plurality of TCI states, the HARQ-ACK information is received through a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) associated with the first TCI state.

18. The device according to claim 17 , further comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit or receive a signal under control of the processor.

19. The device according to claim 18 , wherein the device is a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system.
