Abstract

Disclosed is a method for transmitting an uplink signal by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method comprises the steps of: transmitting multiple precoded reference signals, to each of which a precoder cyclic pattern is applied in a predetermined resource unit, to a base station; receiving, from the base station, information indicating one among the multiple precoded reference signals; and transmitting an uplink data signal and an uplink demodulation reference signal to the base station by using a precoder cyclic pattern which has been applied to the indicated precoded reference signal.

Claims (26)

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

receiving, from a base station (BS), information on a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource unit among predetermined SRS resource units,

wherein each of the predetermined SRS resource units corresponds to different analog beams;

transmitting, to the BS, plural precoded SRSs to which precoder cycling patterns are applied per the SRS resource unit,

wherein the plural precoded SRSs are transmitted with each of reference signals received powers (RSRPs) corresponding to the plural precoded SRSs, and the plural precoded SRSs are transmitted without channel quality information (CQI) and a rank indicator (RI);

receiving, from the BS, information on a transmission analog beam and a reception analog beam through a downlink control information (DCI) format other than DCI formats used for an uplink grant and a downlink grant;

receiving, from the BS, information indicating one of the plural precoded SRSs through a DCI format used for an uplink grant based on the information on the transmission analog beam and the reception analog beam; and

transmitting, to the BS, an uplink data signal and an uplink demodulation reference signal based on the uplink grant and based on a precoder cycling pattern applied to the indicated precoded SRS.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the precoder cycling patterns applied to the plural precoded SRSs are defined as a combination of a first precoder for each of the plural precoded SRSs and second precoders applied commonly to the plural precoded SRSs, the second precoders cyclically applied per the SRS resource unit.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving a downlink reference signal from the B S; and

determining the first precoder for each of the plural precoded SRSs based on the downlink reference signal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the precoder cycling patterns applied to the plural precoded SRSs precode the SRSs in different directions in a horizontal domain and are defined to cover all horizontal directions.

5. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a wireless communication module; and

a processor connected to the wireless communication module and configured to:

receive, from a base station (BS), information on a sounding reference signal (SRS) resource unit among predetermined SRS resource units,

wherein each of the predetermined SRS resource units corresponds to different analog beams,

transmit, to the BS, plural precoded SRSs to which precoder cycling patterns are applied per the SRS resource unit,

wherein the plural precoded SRSs are transmitted with each of reference signals received powers (RSRPs) corresponding to the plural precoded SRSs, and the plural precoded SRSs are transmitted without channel quality information (CQI) and a rank indicator (RI),

receive, from the BS, information on a transmission analog beam and a reception analog beam through a downlink control information (DCI) format other than DCI formats used for an uplink grant and a downlink grant,

receive, from the BS, information indicating one of the plural precoded SRSs through a DCI format used for an uplink grant based on the information on the transmission analog beam and the reception analog beam, and

transmit, to the BS, an uplink data signal and an uplink demodulation reference signal based on the uplink grant and based on a precoder cycling pattern applied to the indicated precoded SRS.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the precoder cycling patterns applied to the plural precoded SRSs are defined as a combination of a first precoder for each of the plural precoded SRSs and second precoders applied commonly to the plural precoded SRSs, the second precoders cyclically applied per the SRS resource unit.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine the first precoder for each of the plural precoded SRSs based on a downlink reference signal received from the BS.

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the precoder cycling patterns applied to the plural precoded SRSs precode the SRSs in different directions in a horizontal domain and are defined to cover all horizontal directions.
