Abstract

Provided are a method and equipment for transmitting uplink data by using a non-orthogonal code multiple access technique in a wireless communication system. Particularly, a terminal receives, from a base station, allocation information on physical resource blocks. The terminal acquires a spreading factor on the basis of the number of physical resource blocks included in the allocation information. The terminal determines a NoMA codebook set on the basis of the spreading factor. The terminal transmits uplink data generated on the basis of terminal-specific codewords included in the NoMA codebook set.

Claims (38)

1. A method of transmitting uplink data based on Non-orthogonal Multiple Access (NoMA) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving, by a user equipment (UE), allocation information on physical resource blocks from a base station;

acquiring, by the UE, a spreading factor based on a number of the physical resource blocks included in the allocation information;

determining, by the UE, a NoMA codebook set based on the spreading factor; and

transmitting, by the UE, uplink data being generated based on a UE specific codeword being included in the NoMA codebook set.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

acquiring, by the UE, a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) level or a number of multiple layers based on the number of physical resource blocks being included in the allocation information; and

determining, by the UE, a Transport Block Size (TBS) based on the spreading factor.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the number of physical resource blocks and the spreading factor are tied to one another and pre-defined in a table,

wherein the number of physical resource blocks and the MCS level are tied to one another and pre-defined in a table, and

wherein the number of physical resource blocks and the number of multiple layers are tied to one another and pre-defined in a table.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the spreading factor and the NoMA codebook set, or the MCS level and the NoMA codebook set, or the number of multiple layers and the NoMA codebook set are tied to one another and predefined in a table, and

wherein the spreading factor and the TBS, or the MCS level and the TBS, or the number of multiple layers and the TBS are tied to one another and predefined in a table.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

in case a plurality of NoMA codebook sets are tied to the spreading factor or the MCS level or the number of multiple layers, receiving, by the UE, indication information including one NoMA codebook set among the plurality of NoMA codebook sets being tied to the spreading factor or the MCS level or the number of multiple layers.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the uplink data is generated after DFT is performed by the UE specific Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) matrix,

wherein the UE specific DFT matrix is determined based on a UE specific DFT vector and a phase vector,

wherein the UE specific DFT vector is determined based on the UE specific codeword, and

wherein the phase vector is determined based on the spreading factor.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a UE specific Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) matrix is a Hermitian matrix of the UE specific DFT matrix.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the UE specific DFT matrix is determined based on a size of the physical resource block.

9. A user equipment (UE) transmitting uplink data based on a Non-orthogonal Multiple Access (NoMA) scheme in a wireless communication system, comprising:

a transceiver transmitting and receiving radio signals; and

a processor being operatively connected to the transceiver,
