Abstract

A method for receiving a DM-RS by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is disclosed, compises receiving activation information; transmitting feedback information on the activation information; receiving downlink control information (DCI) including i) a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field and ii) an antenna port field; and receiving the DM-RS based on the DCI, wherein the activation information includes information related to mapping of a code point of the TCI field and a TCI state, wherein based on the TCI field indicating a code point mapped with a plurality of TCI states, and the antenna port field indicating antenna ports of a plurality of code division multiplexing (CDM) groups, a first TCI state among the plurality of TCI states corresponds to a CDM group associated with a first antenna port based on an instruction order of the antenna ports.

Claims (55)

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

receiving activation information;

transmitting feedback information for the activation information;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) including i) a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field and ii) an antenna port field,

wherein an entry related to one or more Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) groups and one or more DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) ports is indicated based on the antenna port field,

wherein one or more TCI states are mapped to a codepoint of the TCI field of the DCI based on an activation command; and

receiving a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) based on one or more PTRS ports,

wherein a number of the one or more PTRS ports is based on at least one of i) a number of the one or more TCI states based on the TCI field, ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups, or iii) a configured value of a maximum value of the number of the one or more PTRS ports,

wherein, based on i) the number of the one or more TCI states being 2 and ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups being 2:

a number of DMRS ports related to a first CDM group is 1,

a number of DMRS ports related to a second CDM group is 2, and

one of the one or more CDM groups includes a DMRS port 0 among the one or more DMRS ports based on the entry,

wherein the one or more DMRS ports are indexed by port indices, respectively, and

wherein the one or more CDM groups are indexed by CDM group indices, respectively.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the configured value of the maximum value of the number of the one or more PTRS ports is 1 or 2.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on i) the number of the one or more TCI states being 2, ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups being 2, and iii) the configured value of the maximum value being 2, the number of the one or more PTRS ports is 2.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from a base station, including information for the maximum value.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the configured value of the maximum value is determined based on the information for the maximum value.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on i) the number of the one or more TCI states being 2 and ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups being 1, the number of the one or more PTRS ports is 1.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on i) the number of the one or more TCI states being 2, ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups being 1, and iii) the configured value of the maximum value being 2, the number of the one or more PTRS ports is 1.

8. A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

one or more transceivers;

one or more processors; and

one or more memories for storing instructions causing, when executed, the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving activation information;

transmitting feedback information for the activation information;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) including i) a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field and ii) an antenna port field,

wherein an entry related to one or more Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) groups and one or more DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) ports is indicated based on the antenna port field,

wherein one or more TCI states are mapped to a codepoint of the TCI field of the DCI based on an activation command; and

receiving a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) based on one or more PTRS ports,

wherein a number of the one or more PTRS ports is based on at least one of i) a number of the one or more TCI states based on the TCI field, ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups, or iii) a configured value of a maximum value of the number of the one or more PTRS ports,

wherein, based on i) the number of the one or more TCI states being 2 and ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups being 2:

a number of DMRS ports related to a first CDM group is 1,

a number of DMRS ports related to a second CDM group is 2, and

one of the one or more CDM groups includes a DMRS port 0 among the one or more DMRS ports based on the entry,

wherein the one or more DMRS ports are indexed by port indices, respectively, and

wherein the one or more CDM groups are indexed by CDM group indices, respectively.

9. An apparatus comprising one or more memories and one or more processors operatively coupled to the one or more memories, the apparatus comprising:

wherein the one or more processors controls the apparatus to:

receive activation information;

transmit feedback information for the activation information;

receive downlink control information (DCI) including i) a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field and ii) an antenna port field,

wherein an entry related to one or more Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) groups and one or more DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) ports is indicated based on the antenna port field,

wherein one or more TCI states are mapped to a codepoint of the TCI field of the DCI based on an activation command; and

receive a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) based on one or more PTRS ports,

wherein a number of the one or more PTRS ports is based on at least one of i) a number of the one or more TCI states based on the TCI field, ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups, or iii) a configured value of a maximum value of the number of the one or more PTRS ports,

wherein, based on i) the number of the one or more TCI states being 2 and ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups being 2: a number of DMRS ports related to a first CDM group is 1, a number of DMRS ports related to a second CDM group is 2, and one of the one or more CDM groups includes a DMRS port 0 among the one or more DMRS ports based on the entry,
