Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th generation (5G) communication system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) to support higher data rates beyond a 4th generation (4G) system. A method of a UE is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station, configuration information including first information on a number of an additional demodulation reference signal (DMRS) symbol by higher layer signaling, receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including second information on a time domain resource, identifying third information on a duration in symbols of a scheduled physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) resource based on the second information, identifying a position of a DMRS symbol based on the first information and the third information, and receiving, from the base station, at least one DMRS based on the position of the DMRS symbol.

Claims (50)

identifying, based on the DCI, third information on symbols duration, fourth information on a mapping type and fifth information on a frequency hopping, for the scheduled PUSCH;

identifying, based on the first information, the second information, the third information, the fourth information and the fifth information, a position of a DM-RS symbol for at least one of the DM-RS and the additional DM-RS; and

transmitting, to the base station, a DM-RS for the PUSCH based on the position of the DM-RS symbol.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

in case that the mapping type for the scheduled PUSCH is a first mapping type, a first position of the DM-RS is defined relative to a start of a slot and based on information on a DMRS position, and the information on a DMRS position is a value among 2 or 3, and

in case that the mapping type for the scheduled PUSCH is a second mapping type, a first position of the DM-RS is defined relative to a start of resources for the scheduled PUSCH.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the DM-RS for the PUSCH is a front-loaded DM-RS.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein two consecutive symbols are used for the DM-RS in case that the maximum number of symbols for the DM-RS for the PUSCH is 2 based on the second information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the position of the DM-RS symbol of the additional DM-RS is identified within a value indicated by the first information, based on the symbol duration for the scheduled PUSCH.

6. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying first information on an additional demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) and second information on a maximum number of symbols for a DM-RS for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

transmitting, to a terminal, downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

receiving, from the terminal, a DM-RS for the PUSCH based on a position of a DM-RS symbol for at least one of the DM-RS and the additional DM-RS,

wherein the position of the DM-RS symbol is identified based on the first information, the second information, third information on symbols duration for the scheduled PUSCH, fourth information on a mapping type for the scheduled PUSCH and fifth information on a frequency hopping, for the scheduled PUSCH, the third information, the fourth information and the fifth information being identified based on the DCI.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein

in case that the mapping type for the scheduled PUSCH is a first mapping type, a first position of the DM-RS is defined relative to a start of a slot and based on information on a DMRS position, and the information on a DMRS position is a value among 2 or 3, and

in case that the mapping type for the scheduled PUSCH is a second mapping type, a first position of the DM-RS is defined relative to a start of resources for the scheduled PUSCH.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the DM-RS for the PUSCH is a front-loaded DM-RS.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein two consecutive symbols are used for the DM-RS in case that the maximum number of symbols for the DM-RS for the PUSCH is 2 based on the second information.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the position of the DM-RS symbol of the additional DM-RS is identified within a value indicated by the first information, based on the symbol duration for the scheduled PUSCH.

11. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:
