Abstract

Provided are a method and apparatus for determining the number of coded modulation symbols for uplink control information (UCI) when transmitting, in a wireless communication system, the UCI via a transport block processing over multiple slots (TBoMS) PUSCH to which TBoMS has been applied. The number of coded modulation symbols for the UCI is determined on the basis of the total number of bits being transmitted via the TBoMS PUSCH, and a value obtained by multiplying the number (Z) of slots configured for the TBoMS PUSCH by the sum of the number of resource elements that can be used for the transmission of the UCI in OFDM symbols for the TBoMS PUSCH in one slot through which the UCI is transmitted, from among the multiple slots.

Claims (37)

1 . A method, comprising:

determining, by a user equipment (UE), the number of coded modulation symbols per layer for uplink control information (UCI) transmission; and

performing, by the UE, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission based on transport block processing over multi-slot (TBoMS), wherein the PUSCH transmission includes the UCI transmission,

wherein the number of coded modulation symbols per layer of the UCI transmission is determined based on i) a sum of the number of resource elements that can be used for transmission of UCI in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol 1, for 1=0, 1, 2, . . . , N PUSCH symb,all -1, in a slot, and ii) a sum of r-th code block size for uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) of the PUSCH transmission, for r=0, 1, . . . , C UL-SCH −1, multiplied by 1/Z,

wherein C UL-SCH is the number of code blocks for UL-SCH of the PUSCH transmission,

wherein Z is related to the number of slots allocated for the PUSCH, and

wherein N PUSCH symb,all is the total number of OFDM symbols of the PUSCH in the slot including all OFDM symbols used for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI includes hybrid automatic repeat and request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK).

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI includes channel state information (CSI).

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI includes configured grant-uplink control information (CG-UCI).

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of slots (Z) is indicated by downlink control information (DCI).

6 . A user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one memory; and

at least one processor operably connectable to the at least one transceiver and the at least one memory,

wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

determining the number of coded modulation symbols per layer for uplink control information (UCI) transmission; and

performing a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission based on transport block processing over multi-slot (TBoMS) wherein the PUSCH transmission includes the UCI transmission,

wherein the number of coded modulation symbols per layer of the UCI transmission is determined based on i) a sum of the number of resource elements that can be used for transmission of UCI in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol 1, for 1=0, 1, 2, . . . , N PUSCH symb,all −1, in a slot, and ii) a sum of r-th code block size for uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) of the PUSCH transmission, for r=0, 1, . . . , C UL-SCH -1, multiplied by 1/Z,

wherein C UL-SCH is the number of code blocks for UL-SCH of the PUSCH transmission,

wherein Z is related to the number of slots allocated for the PUSCH, and

wherein N PUSHC symb,all is the total number of OFDM symbols of the PUSCH in the slot including all OFDM symbols used for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

7 . The UE of claim 6 , wherein the UCI transmission includes hybrid automatic repeat and request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) transmission.

8 . The UE of claim 6 , wherein the UCI transmission includes channel state information (CSI) transmission.

9 . The UE of claim 6 , wherein the UCI transmission includes configured grant-uplink control information (CG-UCI) transmission.

10 . The UE of claim 6 , wherein Z is indicated by downlink control information (DCI).

11 . A base station comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one memory; and

at least one processor operably connectable to the at least one transceiver and the at least one memory,

wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

transmitting downlink control information related to the number of slots (Z) allocated for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on transport block processing over multi-slot (TBoMS) to a user equipment (UE); and

receiving uplink control information (UCI) on the PUSCH through a plurality of slots from the UE,

wherein the number of coded modulation symbols per layer of the UCI is determined based on i) a sum of the number of resource elements that can be used for transmission of UCI in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol 1, for 1=0, 1, 2, . . ., N PUSCH symb,all −1 in a slot and ii) a sum of the r-th code block size for uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) of a transmission of PUSCH, for r=0, 1, . . . , C UL-SCH −1, multiplied by 1/Z,

wherein C UL-SCH is the number of code blocks for UL-SCH of the transmission of the PUSCH,

wherein Z is related to the number of slots allocated for the PUSCH, and

wherein N PUSCH symb,all is the total number of OFDM symbols of the PUSCH in the slot including all OFDM symbols used for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).
