Abstract

The disclosure relates to a wireless communication system, in which a method of transmitting an uplink reference signal or channel, according to an embodiment, includes receiving, from a base station, information about a direction of a beam to be used for transmission of the uplink reference signal or channel; performing beamforming on the uplink reference signal or channel based on the information about the direction of the beam; and transmitting the beamformed uplink reference signal or channel to the base station.

Claims (37)

1. A method, performed by a user equipment, of transmitting an uplink reference signal or channel in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station through radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information indicating one of implicit precoding or explicit precoding and information configuring a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources, wherein the plurality of SRS resources are related with one channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource;

acquiring an SRS resource indicator (SRI) in downlink control information (DCI) received through a physical control channel, wherein the SRI indicates at least one SRS resource from among the plurality of SRS resources;

based on the implicit precoding being indicated, obtaining precoding information for the uplink channel based on the CSI-RS resource related with a most recently transmitted SRS of the at least one SRS resource indicated by the SRI; and

transmitting, to the base station, the uplink channel based on the precoding information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the precoding information for the uplink channel includes:

obtaining precoding information for the SRS resource based on the CSI-RS resource related with the SRS resource indicated by the SRI; and

obtaining the precoding information for the uplink channel based on the precoding information for the SRS resource.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

transmitting a SRS based on the precoding information for the SRS resource.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

based on the explicit precoding being indicated, transmitting, to the base station, the uplink channel based on a codebook,

wherein the explicit precoding includes using a precoding matrix indicator (TPMI).

5. A method, performed by a base station, of receiving an uplink channel in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment through radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information indicating one of implicit precoding or explicit precoding and information configuring a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources, wherein the plurality of SRS resources are related with one channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource; and

receiving, from the user equipment, the uplink channel based on precoding information for the uplink channel,

wherein, based on the implicit precoding being indicated, the precoding information for the uplink channel is obtained based on the CSI-RS resource related with a most recently transmitted SRS of at least one SRS resource indicated from among the plurality of SRS resources by an SRS resource indicator (SRI) in downlink control information (DCI) transmitted through a physical control channel.

6. A user equipment for transmitting an uplink channel in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

at least one memory storing a program to transmit the uplink channel; and

at least one processor, by performing the program, configured to:

receive, from a base station through radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information indicating one of implicit precoding or explicit precoding and information configuring a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources, wherein the plurality of SRS resources are related with one channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource,

acquire an SRS resource indicator (SRI) in downlink control information (DCI) received through a physical control channel, wherein the SRI indicates at least one SRS resource from among the plurality of SRS resources,

based on the implicit precoding being indicated, obtain precoding information for the uplink channel based on the CSI-RS resource related with a most recently transmitted SRS of the at least one SRS resource indicated by the SRI, and transmit, to the base station, the uplink channel based on the precoding information.

7. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

obtain precoding information for the SRS resource based on the CSI-RS resource related with the SRS resource indicated by the SRI, and

obtain the precoding information for the uplink channel based on the precoding information for the SRS resource.

8. The user equipment of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

transmit a SRS based on the precoding information for the SRS resource.

9. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

based on the explicit precoding being indicated, transmit, to the base station, the uplink channel based on a codebook,

wherein the explicit precoding includes using a precoding matrix indicator (TPMI).

10. A base station for receiving an uplink channel in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

at least one memory storing a program to receive the uplink channel; and

a processor, by performing the program, configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment through radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information indicating one of implicit precoding or explicit precoding and information configuring a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources, wherein the plurality of SRS resources are related with one channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource; and

receive, from the user equipment, the uplink channel based on precoding information for the uplink channel,

wherein, based on the implicit precoding being indicated, the precoding information for the uplink channel is obtained based on the CSI-RS resource related with a most recently transmitted SRS of at least one SRS resource indicated from among the plurality of SRS resources by an SRS resource indicator (SRI) in downlink control information (DCI) transmitted through a physical control channel.
