Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a next-generation wireless communication system for supporting high data transfer rates beyond the 4th generation (4G) wireless communication system. According to the various embodiments, a method of transmitting and receiving signals in a wireless communication system and apparatus for supporting the same may be provided.

Claims (49)

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

receiving UE-specific Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration information on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration; and

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH)

wherein the DCI includes a first field related with PUCCH resource indicator (PRI) and a second field related to a PDSCH-to-hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing indicator,

wherein the UE-specific RRC configuration information separately configures first timing information of the DCI for unicast and second timing information of the DCI for multicast, and

wherein the first timing information and the second timing information provide timings related to the PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprises:

determining a PUCCH resource for transmission of the PUCCH in a slot based on the PRI,

receiving the PDSCH based on the DCI; and

transmitting a PUCCH including information on a HARQ feedback related to the PDSCH based on the DCI.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, based on the DCI scheduling the PDSCH for multicast, the DCI is commonly used for a group comprising a plurality of UEs including the UE, and

wherein a CRC of the DCI is scrambled with a RNTI for the group.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein, a timing determined based on the PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator is different among a plurality of UEs included in the group by the second timing information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PRI of the DCI is mapped to one or a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for the PUCCH.

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

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor connected to the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to control the at least one transceiver to:

receive UE-specific Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration information on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration; and

receive a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH),

wherein the DCI includes a first field related with PUCCH resource indicator (PRI) and a second field related to a PDSCH-to-hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing indicator, and

wherein UE-specific RRC configuration information separately configures first timing information of the DCI for unicast and second timing information of the DCI for multicast, and

wherein the first timing information and the second timing information provide timings related to the PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator.

7. A method of transmitting and receiving signals by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting UE-specific Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration information on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration; and

transmitting a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH),

wherein the DCI includes a first field related with PUCCH resource indicator (PRI) and a second field related to a PDSCH-to-hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing indicator,

wherein the UE-specific RRC configuration information separately configures first timing information of the DCI for unicast and second timing information of the DCI for multicast, and

wherein the first timing information and the second timing information provide timings related to the PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the DCI, which is configured for multicast, includes information on activation or release for a Semi Persistent Scheduling (SPS) PDSCH.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein, based on the DCI scheduling the PDSCH for multicast, the DCI is commonly used for a group comprising a plurality UEs including the UE, and

wherein a CRC of the DCI is scrambled with a RNTI for the group.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein a timing determined based on the PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator is different among a plurality of UEs included in the group by the second timing information.

11. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the PRI of the DCI is mapped to one or a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for the PUCCH.

12. A base station configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor connected to the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to control the at least one transceiver to:

transmit user equipment (UE)-specific Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration information on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration; and

transmit a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH),

wherein the DCI includes a first field related with PUCCH resource indicator (PRI) and a second field related to a PDSCH-to-hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing indicator,

wherein the UE-specific RRC configuration information separately configures first timing information of the DCI for unicast and second timing information of the DCI for multicast, and

wherein the first timing information and the second timing information provide timings related to the PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator.

13. At least one computer-readable memory operably connected to at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, control a user equipment operating in a wireless communication system to perform operations comprising:

receiving user equipment (UE)-specific Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration information on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) configuration; and

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH),

wherein the DCI includes a first field related with PUCCH resource indicator (PRI) and a second field related to a PDSCH-to-hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback timing indicator,

wherein the UE-specific RRC configuration information separately configures first timing information of the DCI for unicast and second timing information of the DCI for multicast, and

wherein the first timing information and the second timing information provide timings related to the PDSCH-to-HARQ feedback timing indicator.
