Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present specification, provided is a method for transmitting a signal that allows a user equipment to cancel phase noise by a base station in an mmWave communication system. In this case, the method may include: generating a PTRS for estimating phase noise of a downlink signal; transmitting PTRS power boosting level information for the PTRS to the user equipment via downlink signaling; and transmitting the PTRS via downlink signaling based on the PTRS power boosting level information. In this case, the PTRS power boosting level information may be determined based on at least one of MCS level and PRB size.

Claims (29)

1. A method for transmitting, by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) to a user equipment (UE) so as to enable receiver phase tracking by the UE, the method performed by the BS and comprising:

generating the PTRS; and

transmitting the PTRS to the UE based on a PTRS power boosting level, the PTRS power boosting level being determined by the BS based on a number of Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) layers associated with the PTRS.

2. A method for receiving, by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) from a base station (BS), the method performed by the UE and comprising:

acquiring information on a number of Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) layers associated with the PTRS; and

receiving the PTRS from the BS;

processing the PTRS based on a PTRS power boosting level which is determined based on the acquired information; and

performing phase tracking compensation based on the PTRS.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the acquired information further includes PTRS power boosting information indicating a power boosting on/off state of the PTRS.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the PTRS power boosting information is transmitted to the UE through radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein when the number of PDSCH total layers is L, a level value of the PTRS power boosting satisfies following equation:

the level value of the PTRS power boosting level=10*log 2 ( L ).  [equation]

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the number of PDSCH layers corresponds to a number of DMRS (Demodulation Reference Signal) ports associated with the PTRS.

7. The method of claim 2 , wherein a level value of PTRS power boosting corresponds to an energy per resource element (EPRE) ratio between the PTRS and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

8. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) from a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiver configured to receive signals from external devices;

a transmitter configured to transmit signals to the external devices; and

a processor configured to control the receiver and the transmitter,

wherein the processor is configured to:

acquire information on a number of Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) layers associated with the PTRS;

receive the PTRS from the BS;

process the PTRS based on a PTRS power boosting level which is determined based on the acquired information; and

perform phase tracking compensation based on the PTRS.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the acquired information further includes PTRS power boosting information indicating a power boosting on/off state of the PTRS.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the PTRS power boosting information is transmitted to the UE through radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

11. The UE of claim 8 , wherein when the number of PDSCH layers is L, a level value of the PTRS power boosting satisfies following equation:

the level value of the PTRS power boosting level=10*log 2 ( L ).  [equation]

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the number of PDSCH layers corresponds to a number of DMRS (Demodulation Reference Signal) ports associated with the PTRS.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein a level value of PTRS power boosting corresponds to an energy per resource element (EPRE) ratio between the PTRS and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).
