Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, more particularly, to a method and a device therefor, the method comprising the steps of: receiving scheduling information relating to uplink data; and transmitting the uplink data through a time slot having a plurality of symbols by using the scheduling information, wherein: when a reference signal for beam-arrangement is not transmitted in the time slot, a transmission beam direction of the uplink data remains the same in the time slot; and when the reference signal for beam-arrangement is transmitted in the time slot, the transmission beam direction of the uplink data is changed according to a transmission beam direction of the reference signal for beam-arrangement, in a symbol at which the reference signal for the beam-arrangement is transmitted in the time slot.

Claims (25)

1. A method of transmitting an uplink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving scheduling information for uplink data,

wherein the scheduling information indicates the UE to transmit the uplink data in a first transmission beam direction;

transmitting the uplink data and a demodulation reference signal (RS) in a time slot including a plurality of symbols based on the scheduling information; and

transmitting a beam alignment RS in a second transmission beam direction in the time slot,

wherein the first transmission beam direction is different from the second transmission beam direction,

wherein a transmission beam direction of the beam alignment RS is changed on a symbol group basis in the time slot and the uplink data and the beam alignment RS are partially overlapped in the time slot,

wherein, during a time period where the uplink data overlap with the beam alignment RS, a transmission beam direction of the uplink data is changed so as to match the second transmission beam direction of the beam alignment RS, along with an additional demodulation RS of a transmission beam direction same as the second transmission beam direction of the beam alignment RS, and

wherein, during a time period where the uplink data do not overlap with the beam alignment RS, the transmission beam direction of the uplink data is maintained as the first transmission beam direction, without the additional demodulation RS.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the symbol group includes a plurality of consecutive symbols.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication system includes a 3 rd generation partnership project (3GPP)-based wireless communication system.

4. A user equipment (UE) used in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module including a transceiver; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive scheduling information for uplink data,

wherein the scheduling information indicates the UE to transmit the uplink data in a first transmission beam direction,

transmit the uplink data and a demodulation reference signal (RS) in a time slot including a plurality of symbols based on the scheduling information, and

transmit a beam alignment RS in a second transmission beam direction in the time slot,

wherein the first transmission beam direction is different from the second transmission beam direction,

wherein a transmission beam direction of the beam alignment RS is changed on a symbol group basis in the time slot and the uplink data and the beam alignment RS are partially overlapped in the time slot,

wherein, during a time period where the uplink data overlap with the beam alignment RS, a transmission beam direction of the uplink data is changed so as to match the second transmission beam direction of the beam alignment RS, along with an additional demodulation RS of a transmission beam direction same as the second transmission beam direction of the beam alignment RS, and

wherein, during a time period where the uplink data do not overlap with the beam alignment RS, the transmission beam direction of the uplink data is maintained as the first transmission beam direction, without the additional demodulation RS.

5. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the symbol group includes a plurality of consecutive symbols.

6. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the wireless communication system includes a 3 rd generation partnership project (3GPP)-based wireless communication system.
