Abstract

The present specification presents a method for transmit-ting a PUCCH in a wireless communication system. A method performed by means of a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving, from a base station, configuration information about a time domain window; receiv-ing, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including scheduling information for a PUSCH and frequency hopping informa-tion for the PUSCH; transmitting the PUSCH to the base station at a first frequency hop having the same length as a first time domain window; and transmitting the PUSCH to the base station at a second frequency hop having the same length as a second time domain window.

Claims (189)

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE) from a base station (BS), configuration information related to a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH),

wherein the configuration information includes i) DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) bundling enable information, ii) information related to a length of a time domain window for a DMRS bundling and iii) a frequency hopping configuration;

receiving, by the UE from the BS, downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling of the PUSCH;

transmitting, by the UE to the BS, the PUSCH based on i) the DMRS bundling enable information and ii) the frequency hopping configuration,

wherein, based on that an inter-slot frequency hopping is enabled based on the frequency hopping configuration and the DMRS bundling is enabled by the DMRS bundling enable information:

the number of consecutive slots related to a frequency hopping interval is determined based on the length of the time domain window,

wherein the starting resource block (RB) during a slot

n

μ

related to the inter-slot frequency hopping is determined based on, and the

n

s

μ

is the current slot number within a radio frame, the W is the length of the time domain window and ┌ ┐ is a floor function.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a starting resource block (RB) of a second frequency hop is determind based on a starting RB and a frequency offset for a first frequency hop.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a first frequency hop is an even-numbered hop, and a second frequency hop is an odd-numbered hop.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the starting RB during the slot
