Abstract

A method and a device for repeatedly transmitting an uplink channel in a wireless communication system are disclosed. The method for repeatedly transmitting an uplink channel, according to one embodiment of the disclosure, can comprise the steps of: receiving configuration information related to the repeated transmission of N (N is a natural number) number of resource units (RUs) of an uplink channel; receiving downlink control information (DCI); and transmitting the uplink channel on the basis of the configuration information.

Claims (45)

1. A method of repeatedly transmitting an uplink channel in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a terminal comprising:

receiving configuration information related to repeat transmission in N (N is a natural number) resource unit (RU) of the uplink channel;

receiving downlink control information (DCI); and

transmitting the uplink channel based on the configuration information and the DCI,

wherein, based on configured mapping method, the N RUs are mapped to K spatial relation reference signals,

wherein the uplink channel is transmitted based on the K spatial relation reference signals,

wherein, based on a downlink channel being scheduled in a k-th (0≤k≤N−1, k is a natural number) RU among the N RUs by the DCI, the uplink channel is transmitted in the N RUs except for the k-th RU,

wherein the configured mapping method is maintained to map the K spatial relation reference signals to the n-th (k+1≤n≤N−1) RU.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the K spatial relation reference signals are sequentially and circularly mapped in an ascending order of an index of each RU of the N RUs.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the N RUs are grouped into K RU groups,

wherein the K spatial relation reference signals are sequentially mapped in an ascending order of an index of the RU group.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the N RUs are grouped into a plurality of RU groups in M (M≤N, M is a natural number) RU units,

wherein, for each RU group, the K spatial relation reference signals are sequentially and circularly mapped in an ascending order of an index of the RU group.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the N RUs include only valid uplink transmission RUs,

wherein the valid uplink transmission RU corresponds to an RU determined to be capable of transmitting an uplink channel based on a configuration by higher layer signaling.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the N RUs include only valid uplink transmission RUs,

wherein the valid uplink transmission RU corresponds to an RU capable of actually transmitting an uplink channel.

7. A terminal for transmitting an uplink channel in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

at least one transceiver for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal; and

at least one processor for controlling the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor configured to:

receive configuration information related to repeat transmission in N (N is a natural number) resource unit (RU) of the uplink channel;

receive downlink control information (DCI); and

transmit the uplink channel based on the configuration information and the DCI,

wherein, based on configured mapping method, the N RUs are mapped to K spatial relation reference signals,

wherein the uplink channel is transmitted based on the K spatial relation reference signals,

wherein, based on a downlink channel being scheduled in a k-th (0≤k≤N−1, k is a natural number) RU among the N RUs by the DCI, the uplink channel is transmitted in the N RUs except for the k-th RU,

wherein the configured mapping method is maintained to map the K spatial relation reference signals to the n-th (k+1≤n≤N−1) RU.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the K spatial relation reference signals are sequentially and circularly mapped in an ascending order of an index of each RU of the N RUs.

9. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the N RUs are grouped into K RU groups,

wherein the K spatial relation reference signals are sequentially mapped in an ascending order of an index of the RU group.

10. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the N RUs are grouped into a plurality of RU groups in M (M≤N, M is a natural number) RU units,

wherein, for each RU group, the K spatial relation reference signals are sequentially and circularly mapped in an ascending order of an index of the RU group.

11. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the N RUs include only valid uplink transmission RUs,

wherein the valid uplink transmission RU corresponds to an RU determined to be capable of transmitting an uplink channel based on a configuration by higher layer signaling.

12. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the N RUs include only valid uplink transmission RUs,

wherein the valid uplink transmission RU corresponds to an RU capable of actually transmitting an uplink channel.

13. A method of repeatedly receiving uplink channel in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a base station comprising:

transmitting configuration information related to repeat transmission in N (N is a natural number) resource unit (RU) of the uplink channel;

transmitting downlink control information (DCI); and

receiving the uplink channel based on the configuration information,

wherein, based on configured mapping method, the N RUs are mapped to K spatial relation reference signals and the DCI,

wherein the uplink channel is transmitted based on the K spatial relation reference signals,

wherein, based on a downlink channel being scheduled in a k-th (0≤k≤N−1, k is a natural number) RU among the N RUs by the DCI, the uplink channel is transmitted in the N RUs except for the k-th RU,

wherein the configured mapping method is maintained to map the K spatial relation reference signals to the n-th (k+1≤n≤N−1) RU.
