Abstract

Disclosed in the present invention are a method for transmitting/receiving downlink data in a wireless communication system, and a device therefor. Specifically, a method of receiving downlink data by user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving configuration information; receiving downlink control information (DCI), the DCI comprising a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field, and multiple TCI states being indicated on the basis of the TCI field; and receiving multiple transmission occasions of an identical transport block on the basis of the DCI. The multiple transmission occasions are received through a time-domain resource on the basis of time division multiplexing (TDM), and the number of the multiple transmission occasions is determined on the basis of the number of the multiple TCI states.

Claims (58)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) that includes a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field;

wherein a plurality of TCI states are indicated based on the TCI field; and

receiving, from the base station, a plurality of transmission occasions of a same transport block based on the plurality of TCI states,

wherein the plurality of transmission occasions are received in a time domain resource,

wherein a repetition scheme is determined based on a higher layer parameter,

wherein, based on a first higher layer parameter being configured for the repetition scheme, the plurality of transmission occasions are received within a slot, and a number of the plurality of transmission occasions is determined based on a number of the plurality of TCI states, and

wherein, based on a second higher layer parameter being configured for the repetition scheme, the plurality of transmission occasions are transmitted within consecutive slots, and the number of the plurality of transmission occasions is determined based on a repetition number related to the plurality of transmission occasions.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a first TCI state relates to a first transmission occasion, and

wherein a second TCI state relates to a second transmission occasion.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein each of the first transmission occasion and the second transmission occasion includes 2, 4 or 7 ODFM symbols.

4. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the DCI further includes a RV field, and

wherein a RV value of the first transmission occasion and a RV value of the second transmission occasion are differently configured based on the RV field.

5. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the DCI further includes a time domain resource assignment field, and

wherein a first time domain resource of the first transmission occasion is indicated based on the time domain resource assignment field.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein a size of a second time domain resource of the second transmission occasion is same as a size of the first time domain resource.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the first time domain resource and the second time domain resource are contiguously located.

8. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the second time domain resource is located apart from the first time domain resource by a specific symbol number.

9. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the specific symbol number is configured based on a higher layer signaling.

10. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on the repetition number related to the plurality of transmission occasions being configured based on the configuration information, the plurality of transmission occasions are received in the consecutive slots.

11. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the configuration information further includes information on a transmission scheme.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second higher layer parameter represents the repetition number.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the repetition number is one of a plurality of values, and the plurality of values include a value greater than the number of the plurality of TCI states.

14. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

one or more transceivers;

one or more processors; and

one or more memories for storing instructions for operations executed by the one or more processors and coupled to the one or more processors;

wherein the operations comprise:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field, wherein a plurality of TCI states are indicated based on the TCI field; and

receiving, from the base station, a plurality of transmission occasions of a same transport block based on the plurality of TCI states,

wherein the plurality of transmission occasions are received in a time domain resource,

wherein a repetition scheme is determined based on a higher layer parameter,

wherein, based on a first higher layer parameter being configured for the repetition scheme, the plurality of transmission occasions are received within a slot, and a number of the plurality of transmission occasions is determined based on a number of the plurality of TCI states, and

wherein, based on a second higher layer parameter being configured for the repetition scheme, the plurality of transmission occasions are received within consecutive slots, and the number of the plurality of transmission occasions is determined based on a repetition number related to the plurality of transmission occasions.

15. A base station comprising:

one or more transceivers;

one or more processors; and

one or more memories for storing instructions for operations executed by the one or more processors and coupled to the one or more processors;

wherein the operations comprise:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information;

transmitting, to the UE, downlink control information (DCI) including a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field, wherein a plurality of TCI states are indicated based on the TCI field; and

transmitting, to the UE, a plurality of transmission occasions of a same transport block based on the plurality of TCI states,

wherein the plurality of transmission occasions are transmitted in a time domain resource,

wherein a repetition scheme is determined based on a higher layer parameter,

wherein, based on a first higher layer parameter being configured for the repetition scheme, the plurality of transmission occasions are transmitted within a slot, and a number of the plurality of transmission occasions is determined based on a number of the plurality of TCI states, and

wherein, based on a second higher layer parameter being configured for the repetition scheme, the plurality of transmission occasions are transmitted within consecutive slots, and the number of the plurality of transmission occasions is determined based on a repetition number related to the plurality of transmission occasions.
