Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method for receiving a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a wireless communication system. In particular, the method may include receiving a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block, acquiring information about control resource set (CORESET) #0 from a PBCH included in the SS/PBCH block, receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) through CORESET #0, and receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled based on the PDCCH and a DMRS for the PDSCH, wherein, based on the PDCCH being addressed to a system information-radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI), a reference point for the DMRS may be subcarrier #0 of a resource block (RB) having a lowest number among RBs included in CORESET #0.

Claims (43)

1. A method of receiving a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) through a search space #0 of control resource set (CORESET) #0, wherein the search space #0 is a common search space; and

receiving (i) a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled based on the PDCCH and (ii) a DMRS for the PDSCH,

wherein, based on the PDCCH being addressed to a system information-radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI), a reference point for the DMRS is determined to be subcarrier #0 of a lowest-numbered resource block (RB) among RBs included in the CORESET #0, regardless of whether the PDSCH is carrying a system information block 1 (SIB 1 ), and

wherein the CORESET #0 and the search space #0 are configured based on a master information block (MIB) received on a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) included in a synchronization signal (SS)/PBCH block.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CORESET #0 is configured for an active downlink bandwidth part (BWP) other than an initial downlink BWP.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CORESET #0 is configured for an initial downlink BWP.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the UE is configured to communicate with at least one of another UE, a network, a base station (B S), or an autonomous vehicle.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on the PDCCH not being addressed to the SI-RNTI, the reference point for the DMRS is determined based on the common search space.

6. An apparatus configured to receive a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) through a search space #0 of control resource set (CORESET) #0, wherein the search space #0 is a common search space, and receiving (i) a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled based on the PDCCH and (ii) a DMRS for the PDSCH,

wherein, based on the PDCCH being addressed to a system information-radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI), a reference point for the DMRS is determined to be subcarrier #0 of a lowest-numbered resource block (RB) among RBs included in the CORESET #0, regardless of whether the PDSCH is carrying a system information block 1 (SIB 1 ) and

wherein the CORESET #0 and the search space #0 are configured based on a master information block (MIB) received on a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) included in a synchronization signal (SS)/PBCH block.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the apparatus is communicable with at least one of a user equipment (UE), a network, a base station (BS), or a self-driving vehicle other than the apparatus.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein, based on the PDCCH not being addressed to the SI-RNTI, the reference point for the DMRS is determined based on the common search space.

9. A user equipment (UE) configured to receive a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving, through the at least one transceiver, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) through a search space #0 of control resource set (CORESET) #0, wherein the search space #0 is a common search space, and

receiving, through the at least one transceiver, (i) a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled based on the PDCCH and (ii) a DMRS for the PDSCH,

wherein, based on the PDCCH being addressed to a system information-radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI), a reference point for the DMRS is determined to be subcarrier #0 of a lowest-numbered resource block (RB) among RBs included in the CORESET #0, regardless of whether the PDSCH is carrying a system information block 1 (SIB 1 ), and

wherein the CORESET #0 and the search space #0 are configured based on a master information block (MIB) received on a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) included in a synchronization signal (SS)/PBCH block.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein, based on the PDCCH not being addressed to the SI-RNTI, the reference point for the DMRS is determined based on the common search space.

11. A method of transmitting a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) through a search space #0 of control resource set (CORESET) #0, wherein the search space #0 is a common search space; and

transmitting (i) a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled based on the PDCCH and (ii) a DMRS for the PDSCH,

wherein, based on the PDCCH being addressed to a system information-radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI), a reference point for the DMRS is determined to be subcarrier #0 of a lowest-numbered resource block (RB) among RBs included in the CORESET #0, regardless of whether the PDSCH is carrying a system information block 1 (SIB 1 ), and

wherein the CORESET #0 and the search space #0 are configured based on a master information block (MIB) transmitted on a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) included in a synchronization signal (SS)/PBCH block.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the CORESET #0 is configured for an active downlink bandwidth part (BWP) other than an initial downlink BWP.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the CORESET #0 is configured for an initial downlink BWP.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein, based on the PDCCH not being addressed to the SI-RNTI, the reference point for the DMRS is determined based on the common search space.

15. A base station (BS) configured to transmit a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

transmitting, through the at least one transceiver, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) through a search space #0 of control resource set (CORESET) #0, wherein the search space #0 is a common search space, and

transmitting, through the at least one transceiver, (i) a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduled based on the PDCCH and (ii) a DMRS for the PDSCH,

wherein, based on the PDCCH being addressed to a system information-radio network temporary identifier (SI-RNTI), a reference point for the DMRS is determined to be subcarrier #0 of a lowest-numbered resource block (RB) among RBs included in the CORESET #0, regardless of whether the PDSCH is carrying a system information block 1 (SIB 1 ), and
