Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication system. Specifically, provided is a method and an apparatus for supporting same, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining random access procedure-related message A, message A including a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); transmitting message A; and receiving random access procedure-related message B as a response to message A, wherein the PUSCH comprises a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS), and PRACH preamble is mapped to (i) one or more DM-RS ports and (ii) one or more DM-RS sequences on the basis of indices of respective (i) one or more DM-RS ports and indices of respective (ii) one or more DM-RS sequences.

Claims (58)

1. A method of performing a 2-step random access procedure by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information related to a message A related to the 2-step random access procedure, wherein the message A comprises a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the PUSCH;

transmitting the message A; and

receiving a message B related to the 2-step random access procedure in response to the message A,

wherein the PUSCH is obtained based on a scrambling sequence related to a random access preamble identifier (RAPID) of the PRACH preamble,

wherein the PUSCH is transmitted in at least one PUSCH occasion among consecutive PUSCH occasions in a frequency domain and a time domain,

wherein the consecutive PUSCH occasions are obtained based on the configuration information,

wherein the configuration information comprises information regarding a number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) for the consecutive PUSCH occasions,

wherein the PRACH preamble is obtained among at least one preconfigured PRACH preamble,

wherein the DMRS is related to (i) at least one DMRS port and (ii) at least one DMRS sequence, and

wherein the at least one preconfigured PRACH preamble is mapped to (i) the at least one DMRS port and then (ii) the at least one DMRS sequence based on (i) an index of each of the at least one DMRS port being considered in ascending order and then (ii) an index of each of the at least one DMRS sequence being considered in ascending order.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration further comprises information related to whether the PUSCH is mapped continuously in the frequency domain.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a maximum number of DMRS ports is 4 based on the DMRS being configured in one orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUSCH is transmitted based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level associated with the RAPID.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein based on a plurality of frequency resource sets being configured for the DMRS: the DMRS is transmitted based on a frequency resource set associated with the RAPID among the plurality of frequency resource sets.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PRACH preamble is transmitted in at least one PRACH occasion among PRACH occasions,

wherein the PRACH occasions and the consecutive PUSCH occasions are multiplexed in time division multiplexing (TDM) based on (i) the PRACH occasions being included in a first slot for the message A and (ii) the PUSCH occasions being included in a second slot for the message A, and

wherein the first slot and the second slot are different.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a time offset is configured between the PRACH occasions and the consecutive PUSCH occasions in the time domain.

8. A user equipment (UE) configured to perform a 2-step random access procedure in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive configuration information related to a message A related to the 2-step random access procedure, wherein the message A comprises a physical random access channel (PRACH) preamble, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the PUSCH;

transmit the message A; and

receive a message B related to the 2-step random access procedure in response to the message A,
