Abstract

A method performed by a UE for multiple Transmission Reception Points (TRPs) based non-codebook PUSCH transmission includes receiving, from a BS, configuration of two Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource sets with a usage parameter indicated as “non-codebook”; receiving, from the BS, an Radio Resource Control (RRC) message configuring a mapping pattern between the two SRS resource sets and a plurality of PUSCH repetitions; receiving, from the BS, an Uplink (UL) Downlink Control Information (DCI) including two SRS Resource Indicator (SRI) fields; and transmitting, to the BS, the plurality of PUSCH repetitions according to the two SRI fields indicated in the UL DCI and the mapping pattern, wherein the two SRI fields determine two precoders and two transmission ranks applied for the plurality of PUSCH repetitions associated with the two SRS resource sets, and a number of the two transmission ranks determined by the two SRI fields are the same.

Claims (28)

1 . A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for multiple Transmission Reception Points (TRPs) based non-codebook Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission, the method comprising:

receiving, from a Base Station (BS), a configuration indicating two Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource sets, each having a usage parameter indicated as “non-codebook”;

receiving, from the BS, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message configuring a mapping pattern between the two SRS resource sets and a plurality of PUSCH repetitions;

receiving, from the BS, an Uplink (UL) Downlink Control Information (DCI) including two SRS Resource Indicator (SRI) fields; and

transmitting, to the BS, the plurality of PUSCH repetitions according to the two SRI fields indicated in the UL DCI and the mapping pattern, wherein

the two SRI fields determine two precoders and two transmission ranks, that include a first set of transmission ranks and a second set of transmission ranks, applied for the plurality of PUSCH repetitions associated with the two SRS resource sets, and

a number of the first set of transmission ranks and a number of the second set of transmission ranks, determined by the two SRI fields, are the same.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the mapping pattern between the two SRS resource sets and the plurality of PUSCH repetitions is a cyclical mapping pattern.

3 . A User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system for multiple Transmission Reception Points (TRPs) based non-codebook Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission, the UE comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor and storing one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the UE to:

receive, from a Base Station (BS), a configuration indicating two Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource sets, each having a usage parameter indicated as “non-codebook”;

receive, from the BS, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message configuring a mapping pattern between the two SRS resource sets and a plurality of PUSCH repetitions;

receive, from the BS, an Uplink (UL) Downlink Control Information (DCI) including two SRS Resource Indicator (SRI) fields; and

transmit, to the BS, the plurality of PUSCH repetitions according to the two SRI fields indicated in the UL DCI and the mapping pattern, wherein

the two SRI fields determine two precoders and two transmission ranks, that include a first set of transmission ranks and a second set of transmission ranks, applied for the plurality of PUSCH repetitions associated with the two SRS resource sets, and

a number of the first set of transmission ranks and a number of the second set of transmission ranks, determined by the two SRI fields, are the same.

4 . The UE of claim 3 , wherein the mapping pattern between the two SRS resource sets and the plurality of PUSCH repetitions is a cyclical mapping pattern.

5 . A Base Station (BS) in a wireless communication system for multiple Transmission Reception Points (TRPs) based non-codebook Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmission, the BS comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor and storing one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the BS to:

transmit, to a User Equipment (UE), a configuration indicating two Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource sets, each having a usage parameter indicated as “non-codebook”;

transmit, to the UE, a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message configuring a mapping pattern between the two SRS resource sets and a plurality of PUSCH repetitions;

transmit, to the UE, an Uplink (UL) Downlink Control Information (DCI) including two SRS Resource Indicator (SRI) fields; and

receive, from the UE, the plurality of PUSCH repetitions according to the two SRI fields indicated in the UL DCI and the mapping pattern, wherein

the two SRI fields determine two precoders and two transmission ranks, that include a first set of transmission ranks and a second set of transmission ranks, applied for the plurality of PUSCH repetitions associated with the two SRS resource sets, and

a number of the first set of transmission ranks and a number of the second set of transmission ranks, determined by the two SRI fields, are the same.

6 . The BS of claim 5 , wherein the mapping pattern between the two SRS resource sets and the plurality of PUSCH repetitions is a cyclical mapping pattern.
