Abstract

Disclosed are a method and device for transmitting/receiving a downlink channel from multiple transmission/reception points in a wireless communication system. A method for a terminal to receive a downlink channel in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises the steps of: receiving a downlink control channel on the basis of two or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states associated with one or more control resource sets (CORESETs); and receiving a downlink data channel on the basis of the two or more TCI states associated with one or more CORESETs, on the basis of TCI information not being included in downlink control information (DCI) received through the downlink control channel, wherein the two or more TCI states may be mapped to the downlink data channel on the basis of a prescribed mapping scheme.

Claims (27)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a network, indication information including two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for a control resource set (CORESET);

monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate in the CORESET based on the two TCI states for downlink control information (DCI); and

based on i) the terminal being configured with both a single frequency network (SFN) scheme for the PDCCH and a SFN scheme for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), ii) a time offset between a reception of the DCI and the PDSCH scheduled based on the DCI being equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, and iii) the DCI not including a TCI field, receiving, from the network, the PDSCH based on two TCI states which are identical to the two TCI states for the CORESET.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the indication information includes TCI states for one or more CORESETs, and

one or more TCI states are indicated for each of the one or more CORESETs.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the DCI is DCI format 1_0.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the indication information is included in a medium access control-control element (MAC-CE).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

a TCI state is related to at least one quasi co-location reference signal (QCL RS).

6. A terminal configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the terminal 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:

receive, from a network, through the at least one transceiver, indication information including two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for a control resource set (CORESET);

monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidate in the CORESET based on the two TCI states for downlink control information (DCI); and

based on i) the terminal being configured with both a single frequency network (SFN) scheme for the PDCCH and a SFN scheme for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), ii) a time offset between a reception of the DCI and the PDSCH scheduled based on the DCI is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, and iii) the DCI not including a TCI field, receive, from the network, through the at least one transceiver, the PDSCH based on two TCI states which are identical to the two TCI states for the CORESET.

7. 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:

transmit, to a terminal, through the at least one transceiver, indication information including two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for a control resource set (CORESET);

transmit, to the terminal, through the at least one transceiver, downlink control information (DCI) in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in the CORESET based on the two TCI states; and

based on i) the terminal being configured with both a single frequency network (SFN) scheme for the PDCCH and a SFN scheme for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), ii) a time offset between a reception of the DCI and the PDSCH scheduled based on the DCI is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, and iii) the DCI not including a TCI field, transmit, to the terminal, through the at least one transceiver, the PDSCH based on two TCI states which are identical to the two TCI states for the CORESET.
