Abstract

A method of transmitting an uplink (UL) signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, where the method includes: receiving, through a physical downlink control (PDCCH) signal, downlink control information (DCI) regarding a semi-persistent scheduling (SPS) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and periodically transmitting an SPS PUSCH signal based on the DCI. Periodically transmitting the SPS PUSCH signal based on the DCI includes: in a state in which (i) the SPS PUSCH signal is subslot-based, (ii) a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) pattern field included in the DCI is set to a first value, and (iii) simultaneous transmission of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and the PUSCH is configured for the UE: transmitting uplink control information (UCI) through the SPS PUSCH signal, without simultaneously transmitting a PUCCH signal.

wherein the first value of the DMRS pattern-related field has a bit value of ‘10’.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the UCI through the subslot-based SPS PUSCH in the subslot n, without simultaneously transmitting the PUCCH in the subslot n, based on the DMRS pattern-related field in the DCI being set to the first value comprises:

transmitting the UCI through the subslot-based SPS PUSCH in the subslot n, and dropping a transmission of the PUCCH in the subslot n, regardless of whether a transmission power of the subslot-based SPS PUSCH is changed due to the PUCCH.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of UL SPS configurations is configured for the UE in relation to UL SPS, and

wherein different hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) process sets are associated with the plurality UL SPS configurations, respectively.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UCI comprises HARQ acknowledgment/negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) information.
