Abstract

A method of transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes receiving configuration information related to a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states, and transmitting the SRS based on a specific TCI state among the plurality of TCI states. The specific TCI state is related to one or more power control parameters for determining a transmission power of the SRS, and the one or more power control parameters are related to an SRS resource set for the transmission of the SRS.

Claims (41)

1. A method of transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information related to a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states;

determining a spatial filter for an SRS resource of the SRS based on a specific TCI state among the plurality of TCI states;

determining an SRS transmission power for an SRS resource set including the SRS resource with a higher layer parameter of usage which is set to beam management based on the specific TCI state; and

transmitting the SRS through the SRS resource based on the spatial filter and the SRS transmission power,

wherein the specific TCI state is at least one of an uplink TCI state or a joint TCI state.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific TCI state is based on an activated TCI state among the plurality of TCI states.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the specific TCI state is based on an activated TCI state for each SRS resource in the SRS resource set.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the specific TCI state is based on an activated TCI state for a specific SRS resource among SRS resources in the SRS resource set.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the specific Reference RS is applied to the specific SRS resource.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving configuration information related to the SRS,

wherein, based on the configuration information related to the SRS, the usage of the SRS resource set is configured as one of CodeBook (CB), Non-CodeBook (NCB), beam management (BM), antenna switching (AS), or positioning.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein, based on the usage of the SRS resource set being configured as a predefined usage, the one or more power control parameters are applied to an SRS resource to which the specific Reference RS among SRS resources in the SRS resource set is applied.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the predefined usage includes at least one of the CB or the NCB.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein a panel related to one SRS resource in the SRS resource set is different from a panel related to another SRS resource in the SRS resource set.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more power control parameters include at least one of P0, alpha, a path-loss reference RS (PL RS), or a closed-loop index.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein a first specific power control parameter applied as a different value based on a type of an uplink signal is excluded from the one or more power control parameters, and

wherein the first specific power control parameter is the P0.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein one or more power control parameters for the SRS transmission power include only a second specific power control parameter that is equally applied regardless of a type of an uplink signal, and

wherein the second specific power control parameter is based on at least one of the alpha, the PL RS or the closed-loop index.

13. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an activation command,

wherein, based on the activation command, a predetermined number of TCI states among the plurality of TCI states are activated.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising receiving downlink control information (DCI),

wherein the DCI includes a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field, and

wherein, based on the TCI field, the specific TCI state among the predetermined number of TCI states is determined.

15. A user equipment (UE) transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

one or more transceivers;

one or more processors; and

one or more memories operably connectable to the one or more processors,

wherein the one or more memories are configured to store instructions that allow the one or more processors to perform operations based on being executed by the one or more processors,

wherein the operations comprise:

receiving configuration information related to a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states;

determining a spatial filter for an SRS resource of the SRS based on a specific TCI state among the plurality of TCI states;

determining an SRS transmission power for an SRS resource set including the SRS resource with a higher layer parameter of usage which is set to beam management based on the specific TCI state;

transmitting the SRS through the SRS resource based on the spatial filter and the SRS transmission power,

wherein the specific TCI state is at least one of an uplink TCI state or a joint TCI state.

16. A method of receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting configuration information related to a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states; and

receiving the SRS through an SRS resource based on a spatial filter and an SRS transmission power,

wherein the spatial filter for the SRS resource is based on a specific TCI state among the plurality of TCI states,

wherein the SRS transmission power for an SRS resource set including the SRS resource with a higher layer parameter of usage which is set to beam management is based on the specific TCI state.
