Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present the UE may receive a plurality of physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) including a first PDCCH carrying first DCI for unicast scheduling and a second PDCCH carrying second DCI for multicast scheduling; receive one or more downlink signals including a unicast physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the first DCI, and a multicast PDSCH scheduled by the second DCI; and transmit a single physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), based on uplink control information (UCI) including hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information for the one or more DL signals including at least one of first HARQ feedback information for the unicast PDSCH, and second HARQ feedback information for the multicast PDSCH.

Claims (46)

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

receiving a plurality of physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) each carrying downlink control information (DCI), wherein the plurality of PDCCHs includes a first PDCCH carrying first DCI for unicast scheduling and a second PDCCH carrying second DCI for multicast scheduling;

receiving one or more downlink (DL) signals based on the PDCCHs, wherein the one or more DL signals includes a unicast physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the first DCI, and a multicast PDSCH scheduled by the second DCI; and

transmitting a single physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), based on uplink control information (UCI) including hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information for the one or more DL signals, wherein the HARQ feedback information includes at least one of first HARQ feedback information for the unicast PDSCH, and second HARQ feedback information for the multicast PDSCH,

wherein one of an acknowledgment (ACK)/Negative-ACK (NACK)-based scheme and a NACK only-based scheme is configured for the second HARQ feedback information, through higher layer signaling,

wherein in a state where the NACK only-based scheme is configured for the second HARQ feedback and the UCI for the single PUCCH includes both of first HARQ feedback information for the unicast PDSCH and second HARQ feedback information for the multicast PDSCH, both of the first HARQ feedback information for the unicast PDSCH and the second HARQ feedback information for the multicast PDSCH are generated based on the ACK/NACK-based scheme for multiplexing of the first HARQ feedback information and the second HARQ feedback information within the single PUCCH.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the UCI further includes at least one of a scheduling request (SR), and a channel state information (CSI) report,

wherein in a case where a size of the UCI exceeds a maximum payload size of the single PUCCH, the UE performs UCI multiplexing for the signal PUCCH based on a priority of the HARQ feedback information, a priority of the SR and a priority of the CSI report,

wherein the priority of the HARQ feedback information is higher than the priority of the SR,

wherein, within the HARQ feedback information, the first HARQ feedback information is prioritized over the second HARQ feedback information, and

wherein the SR is related to a unicast SR, and the second HARQ feedback information for the multicast PDSCH is prioritized over the unicast SR.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the CSI report is allocated with a lowest priority.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein, within the CSI report, a first CSI report related to the unicast PDSCH is prioritized over a second CSI report related to the multicast PDSCH.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the UE performs dropping from a lowest priority such that the multiplexed UCI does not exceed the maximum payload size of the single PUCCH.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein in a state where the UCI for the single PUCCH includes the two or more of the HARQ feedback information, the SR, and the CSI report, but the size of the UCI does not exceed the maximum payload size of the single PUCCH, the UE performs UCI multiplexing without dropping.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first HARQ feedback information for the unicast PDSCH is always configured based on the ACK/NACK-based scheme.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

receiving, through the higher layer signaling, HARQ feedback configuration for the multicast PDSCH including information indicating either the ACK/NACK-based scheme or the NACK only-based scheme.

9. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing program codes for performing the method of claim 1 .

10. 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 a plurality of physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) each carrying downlink control information (DCI), wherein the plurality of PDCCHs includes a first PDCCH carrying first DCI for unicast scheduling and a second PDCCH carrying second DCI for multicast scheduling;

receiving one or more downlink (DL) signals based on the PDCCHs, wherein the one or more DL signals includes a unicast physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled by the first DCI, and a multicast PDSCH scheduled by the second DCI; and

transmitting a single physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), based on uplink control information (UCI) including hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback information for the one or more DL signals, wherein the HARQ feedback information includes at least one of first HARQ feedback information for the unicast PDSCH, and second HARQ feedback information for the multicast PDSCH,

wherein one of an acknowledgment (ACK)/Negative-ACK (NACK)-based scheme and a NACK only-based scheme is configured for the second HARQ feedback information, through higher layer signaling,

wherein in a state where the NACK only-based scheme is configured for the second HARQ feedback and the UCI for the single PUCCH includes both of first HARQ feedback information for the unicast PDSCH and second HARQ feedback information for the multicast PDSCH, both of the first HARQ feedback information for the unicast PDSCH and the second HARQ feedback information for the multicast PDSCH are generated based on the ACK/NACK-based scheme for multiplexing of the first HARQ feedback information and the second HARQ feedback information within the single PUCCH.

11. The device of claim 10 , further comprising:

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

12. The device of claim 10 , wherein the device is a user equipment (UE) in a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP)-based wireless communication system.

13. The device of claim 10 , wherein the device configured to control a user equipment (UE) in a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP)-based wireless communication system.

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