Abstract

A terminal equipment includes: a receiver configured to: receive a first signal including a first parameter configuring or indicating one or more repetition, and receive a second signal including downlink control information indicating a first repetition or a second repetition, the first repetition being a repetition of slot level, the second repetition being a repetition of symbol level; and a transmitter configured to transmit, according to the first parameter and downlink control information, one or more actual repetitions corresponding to the same transport block in one or more time-domain resource segments in which the one or more actual repetitions are located, each of the one or more actual repetitions comprising a data channel and a reference signal.

Claims (56)

1 . A terminal equipment comprising:

a receiver configured to:

receive a first signal including a first parameter configuring or indicating one or more repetition, and

receive a second signal including downlink control information indicating a first repetition or a second repetition, the first repetition being a repetition of slot level, the second repetition being a repetition of symbol level; and

a transmitter configured to transmit, according to the first parameter and downlink control information, one or more actual repetitions corresponding to the same transport block in one or more time-domain resource segments in which the one or more actual repetitions are located, each of the one or more actual repetitions comprising a data channel and a reference signal.

2 . The terminal equipment according to claim 1 , further comprising:

processor circuitry configured to generate the one or more actual repetitions, wherein

positions of reference signals in the one or more actual repetitions being determined based on the one or more time-domain resource segments in which the one or more actual repetitions are located.

3 . The terminal equipment according to claim 1 , wherein,

the transmitter transmits a third signal of the one or more actual repetitions in a first time-domain resource segment of the one or more time-domain resource segments, and transmits a fourth signal of the one or more actual repetitions in a second time-domain resource segment of the one or more time-domain resource segments, a position of the reference signal in the third signal being determined based on the first time-domain resource segment, and a position of the reference signal in the fourth signal being determined based on the second time-domain resource segment.

4 . The terminal equipment according to claim 3 , wherein the position of the reference signal in the third signal being determined based on the first time-domain resource segment refers to being determined based on at least one of the following:

a symbol length of the time-domain resource segment;

time-domain resource allocation (TDRA) configuration or indication of the time-domain resource segment;

higher layer signaling configuration; and

a provision in a specification.

5 . The terminal equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the first signal includes a second parameter indicating the repetition of the transport block, or indicating repetitions of the transport block and a number, which is an integer greater than or equal to 0, of the repetitions.

6 . The terminal equipment according to claim 1 , wherein the first signal includes a third parameter enabling or disabling a number, which is an integer greater than or equal to 0, of dynamic nominal repetitions.

7 . The terminal equipment according to claim 6 , wherein

when the number of dynamic nominal repetitions is enabled by the second parameter, the repetition of the transport block is enabled, and when the number of dynamic nominal repetitions is disabled by the second parameter, the repetition of the transport block is disabled.

8 . The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein when the number of dynamic nominal repetitions is enabled by the second parameter and the number of dynamic nominal repetitions is greater than or equal to a first value, the repetition of the transport block is enabled, and when the number of dynamic nominal repetitions is disabled by the second parameter, or the number of dynamic nominal repetitions is enabled by the second parameter but the number of dynamic nominal repetitions is less than or equal to a second value, the repetition of the transport block is disabled.

9 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information includes at least one of the following:

a first field used for indicating a number, which is an integer greater than or equal to 0, of nominal repetitions;

a second field used for indicating time-domain resource allocation;

a third field used for indicating a mode of repetition and/or the number of nominal repetitions;

a four field used for indicating the number of nominal repetitions and/or a mode of time-domain resource allocation; and

a fifth field indicating whether to enable the repetition.

10 . The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the first repetition is performed on consecutive slots, and

the second repetition is performed on consecutive symbols.

11 . A network apparatus comprising:

a transmitter configured to:

transmit a first signal including a first parameter configuring or indicating one or more repetition, and

transmit a second signal including downlink control information indicating a first repetition or a second repetition, the first repetition being a repetition of slot level, the second repetition being a repetition of symbol level; and

a receiver configured to receive one or more actual repetitions corresponding to the same transport block in one or more time-domain resource segments in which the one or more actual repetitions are located, each of the one or more actual repetitions comprising a data channel and a reference signal, the one or more actual repetitions being transmitted according to the first parameter and downlink control information.

12 . The network apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein

positions of reference signals in the one or more actual repetitions being determined based on the one or more time-domain resource segments in which the one or more actual repetitions are located.

13 . The network apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein,

the receiver receives a third signal of the one or more actual repetitions in a first time-domain resource segment of the one or more time-domain resource segments, and receives a fourth signal of the one or more actual repetitions in a second time-domain resource segment of the one or more time-domain resource segments, a position of the reference signal in the third signal being determined based on the first time-domain resource segment, and a position of the reference signal in the fourth signal being determined based on the second time-domain resource segment.

14 . The network apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the first signal includes a second parameter indicating the repetition of the transport block, or indicating repetitions of the transport block and a number, which is an integer greater than or equal to 0, of the repetitions.

15 . The network apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the first signal includes a third parameter enabling or disabling a number, which is an integer greater than or equal to 0, of dynamic nominal repetitions.

16 . The network apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the downlink control information includes at least one of the following:

a first field used for indicating a number, which is an integer greater than or equal to 0, of nominal repetitions;

a second field used for indicating time-domain resource allocation;

a third field used for indicating a mode of repetition and/or the number of nominal repetitions; and

a four field used for indicating the number of nominal repetitions and/or a mode of time-domain resource allocation.

17 . The apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein
