Abstract

Disclosed is a method for a user equipment to transmit a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) to a base station in a wireless communication system. The user equipment may receive, from the base station, configuration information for PUSCH transmission and a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for scheduling repeated transmission of the PUSCH. Thereafter, the user equipment may determine one or more invalid symbols for the repeated transmission of the PUSCH, and may repeatedly transmit the PUSCH on symbols other than the determined symbols.

Claims (59)

1. A method for use by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for scheduling repeated transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

determining an invalid symbol group for the repeated transmission of the PUSCH; and

performing the repeated transmission of the PUSCH on at least one symbol scheduled by the PDCCH except for the invalid symbol group,

wherein, when the repeated transmission of the PUSCH overlaps with one or more symbols of a control resource set (CORESET) and when the overlapped CORESET is a CORESET indicated by a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) among a plurality of CORESETs associated with the user equipment, the invalid symbol group includes the one or more symbols of the overlapped CORESET, and

wherein each of the plurality of CORESETs represents a respective time-frequency resource to which at least one search space for PDCCH monitoring is associated.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the CORESET indicated by the PBCH has an index value of 0.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the invalid symbol group further includes a symbol indicated as a semi-static downlink symbol for downlink reception and synchronization signal (SS) and/or a symbol for receiving the PBCH.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, when the user equipment supports only a half duplex mode, the invalid symbol group further includes a symbol allocated for a downlink channel and signal and/or a symbol indicated as a semi-static downlink symbol in a cell different from a cell in which the repeated transmission of the PUSCH is performed.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the invalid symbol group further includes a gap symbol, and

wherein the gap symbol is at least one symbol positioned after a symbol indicated for downlink reception.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein a subcarrier spacing of the gap symbol is a reference subcarrier spacing included in semi-static uplink and/or downlink configuration information of a cell to which the gap symbol is applied for the repeated transmission of the PUSCH.

7. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the symbol indicated for downlink reception is a semi-static downlink symbol, a symbol for receiving a SS/PBCH block, or a symbol included in control resource set.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein, when the repeated transmission of the PUSCH overlaps with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) over a plurality of PUSCH repetitions, and when a condition is satisfied:

uplink control information (UCI) associated with the PUCCH is transmitted through an earliest PUSCH repetition among the overlapped plurality of the PUSCH repetitions.

9. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the condition includes at least one of:

the earliest PUSCH repetition satisfies a processing time for multiplexing with the UCI, and

the earliest PUSCH repetition includes more than one symbol.

10. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, when the overlapped CORESET is not the CORESET indicated by the PBCH, the overlapped CORESET is not subject to the invalid symbol group.

11. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the CORESET indicated by the PBCH is associated with a cell access.

12. A user equipment for use in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a communication module; and

a processor for controlling the communication module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) for scheduling repeated transmission of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

determine an invalid symbol group for the repeated transmission of the PUSCH; and

perform the repeated transmission of PUSCH on at least one symbol scheduled by the PDCCH except for the invalid symbol group,

wherein, when the repeated transmission of the PUSCH overlaps with one or more symbols of a control resource set (CORESET) and when the overlapped CORESET is a CORESET indicated by a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) among a plurality of CORESETs associated with the user equipment, the invalid symbol group includes the one or more symbols of the overlapped CORESET, and

wherein each of the plurality of CORESETs represents a respective time-frequency resource to which at least one search space for PDCCH monitoring is associated.

13. The user equipment of claim 12 ,

wherein the CORESET indicated by the PBCH has an index value of 0.

14. The user equipment of claim 12 ,

wherein the invalid symbol group further includes a symbol indicated as a semi-static downlink symbol for downlink reception and synchronization signal (SS) and/or a symbol for receiving the PBCH.

15. The user equipment of claim 12 ,

wherein, when the user equipment supports only a half duplex mode, the invalid symbol group further includes a symbol allocated for a downlink channel and signal and/or a symbol indicated as a semi-static downlink symbol in a cell different from a cell in which the repeated transmission of the PUSCH is performed.

16. The user equipment of claim 12 , wherein the invalid symbol group further includes a gap symbol, and wherein the gap symbol is at least one symbol positioned after a symbol indicated for downlink reception.

17. The user equipment of claim 16 ,

wherein a subcarrier spacing of the gap symbol is a reference subcarrier spacing included in semi-static uplink and/or downlink configuration information of a cell to which the gap symbol is applied for the repeated transmission of the PUSCH.

18. The user equipment of claim 16 ,

wherein the symbol indicated for downlink reception is a semi-static downlink symbol, a symbol for receiving a SS/PBCH block, or a symbol included in control resource set.

19. The user equipment of claim 12 , wherein, when the repeated transmission of the PUSCH overlaps with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) over a plurality of PUSCH repetitions, and when a condition is satisfied:

uplink control information (UCI) associated with the PUCCH is transmitted through an earliest PUSCH repetition among the overlapped plurality of the PUSCH repetitions.

20. The user equipment of claim 19 ,

wherein the condition includes at least one of:

the earliest PUSCH repetition satisfies a processing time for multiplexing with the UCI, and

the earliest PUSCH repetition includes more than one symbol.

21. The user equipment of claim 12 ,

wherein, when the overlapped CORESET is not the CORESET indicated by the PBCH, the overlapped CORESET is not subject to the invalid symbol group.

22. The user equipment of claim 12 ,

wherein the CORESET indicated by the PBCH is associated with a cell access.
