Abstract

Provided are a method for a terminal transmitting an uplink control channel in a wireless communication system, and a device using same. The method comprises: determining the overlapping or not between a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and a second PUCCH; and determining a transmission method for the first PUCCH and the second PUCCH on the basis of the determining. Here, the first PUCCH is an uplink control channel that is frequency division multiplexed (FDM) with a data channel, and the second PUCCH is an uplink control channel that is time division multiplexed (TDM) with the data channel.

Claims (38)

1. A method of receiving a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining that at least one SRS symbol, among a plurality of symbols to be used for receiving the SRS in a slot, overlaps in time with at least one physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) symbol to be used for receiving a PUCCH; and

based on the at least one SRS symbol overlapping in time with the at least one PUCCH symbol:

based on the SRS being a periodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry channel state information (CSI): receiving the periodic SRS through at least one symbol, among the plurality of symbols, excluding the at least one SRS symbol; and

based on the SRS being an aperiodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry periodic CSI: receiving the aperiodic SRS through the plurality of symbols.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the SRS being an aperiodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry periodic CSI: the PUCCH is not received in the at least one SRS symbol.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the slot comprises 14 symbols in a time domain.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the aperiodic SRS is triggered by downlink control information (DCI).

5. A base station (BS) configured to receive a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

determining that at least one SRS symbol, among a plurality of symbols to be used for receiving the SRS in a slot, overlaps in time with at least one physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) symbol to be used for receiving a PUCCH; and

based on the at least one SRS symbol overlapping in time with the at least one PUCCH symbol:

based on the SRS being a periodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry channel state information (CSI): receiving the periodic SRS through at least one symbol, among the plurality of symbols, excluding the at least one SRS symbol; and

based on the SRS being an aperiodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry periodic CSI: receiving the aperiodic SRS through the plurality of symbols.

6. The BS of claim 5 , wherein based on the SRS being an aperiodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry periodic CSI: the PUCCH is not received in the at least one SRS symbol.

7. The BS of claim 5 , wherein the slot comprises 14 symbols in a time domain.

8. The BS of claim 5 , wherein the aperiodic SRS is triggered by downlink control information (DCI).

9. A method of transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining that at least one SRS symbol, among a plurality of symbols to be used for transmitting the SRS in a slot, overlaps in time with at least one physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) symbol to be used for transmitting a PUCCH; and

based on the at least one SRS symbol overlapping in time with the at least one PUCCH symbol:

based on the SRS being a periodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry channel state information (CSI): (i) dropping, among the plurality of symbols, only the at least one SRS symbol that overlaps with the at least one PUCCH symbol, and (ii) transmitting the periodic SRS through at least one symbol, among the plurality of symbols, excluding the at least one SRS symbol; and

based on the SRS being an aperiodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry periodic CSI: transmitting the aperiodic SRS through the plurality of symbols.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein based on the SRS being an aperiodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry periodic CSI: the PUCCH is not transmitted in the at least one SRS symbol.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the slot comprises 14 symbols in a time domain.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the aperiodic SRS is triggered by downlink control information (DCI) received by the UE.

13. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit a sounding reference signal (SRS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

determining that at least one SRS symbol, among a plurality of symbols to be used for transmitting the SRS in a slot, overlaps in time with at least one physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) symbol to be used for transmitting a PUCCH; and

based on the at least one SRS symbol overlapping in time with the at least one PUCCH symbol:

based on the SRS being a periodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry channel state information (CSI): (i) dropping, among the plurality of symbols, only the at least one SRS symbol that overlaps with the at least one PUCCH symbol, and (ii) transmitting the periodic SRS through at least one symbol, among the plurality of symbols, excluding the at least one SRS symbol; and

based on the SRS being an aperiodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry periodic CSI: transmitting the aperiodic SRS through the plurality of symbols.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein based on the SRS being an aperiodic SRS, and based on the PUCCH being configured to carry periodic CSI: the PUCCH is not transmitted in the at least one SRS symbol.

15. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the slot comprises 14 symbols in a time domain.

16. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the aperiodic SRS is triggered by downlink control information (DCI) received by the UE.
