Abstract

A method by which a terminal transmits uplink control information (UCI) in an unlicensed band and a device using the method are provided. The method generates data and first UCI including information necessary to decode the data, and transmits, to a base station, the data and the first UCI through a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in an unlicensed band, wherein the first UCI further includes information necessary to decode the second UCI when second UCI is transmitted to the base station together with the data and the first UCI through the PUSCH.

Claims (33)

1. A method of performing a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARD) process by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving resource allocation information informing of resources which can be used for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

receiving time information related to a duration between a transmission of the PUSCH and a reception of downlink feedback information (DFI) including HARQ-ACK (acknowledgement) information for the PUSCH;

transmitting the PUSCH through a first resource among the resources without receiving a dynamic grant for the PUSCH; and

receiving the DFI including the HARQ-ACK information for the PUSCH through a second resource located after the duration from the first resource,

wherein the duration is dependent on a configured subcarrier spacing.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the PUSCH and the reception of the DFI are performed in an unlicensed band.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the duration is given in symbol units.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on channel state information (CSI) being transmitted on the PUSCH:

a number of resource elements to which the CSI is mapped is determined based on a number of resource elements other than i) a resource element to which HARQ-ACK is mapped and ii) a resource element to which configured grant-uplink control information (CG-UCI) is mapped among available resource elements of the PUSCH.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the CG-UCI is mapped from a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol that does not carry demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PUSCH, after a first DMRS symbol of the PUSCH.

6. A user equipment (UE), the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor, operably coupled to the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive resource allocation information informing of resources which can be used for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

receive time information related to a duration between a transmission of the PUSCH and a reception of downlink feedback information (DFI) including HARQ-ACK (acknowledgement) information for the PUSCH;

transmit the PUSCH through a first resource among the resources without receiving a dynamic grant for the PUSCH; and

receive the DFI including the HARQ-ACK information for the PUSCH through a second resource located after the duration from the first resource,

wherein the duration is dependent on a configured subcarrier spacing.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the transmission of the PUSCH and the reception of the DFI are performed in an unlicensed band.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the duration is given in symbol units.

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein based on channel state information (CSI) being transmitted on the PUSCH:

a number of resource elements to which the CSI is mapped is determined based on a number of resource elements other than i) a resource element to which HARQ-ACK is mapped and ii) a resource element to which configured grant-uplink control information (CG-UCI) is mapped among available resource elements of the PUSCH.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the CG-UCI is mapped from a first orthogonal

frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol that does not carry demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of the PUSCH, after a first DMRS symbol of the PUSCH.

11. A processor for a wireless communication device in a wireless communication system,

wherein the processor is configured to control the wireless communication device to:

receive resource allocation information informing of resources which can be used for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH);

receive time information related to a duration between a transmission of the PUSCH and a reception of downlink feedback information (DFI) including HARQ-ACK (acknowledgement) information for the PUSCH;

transmit the PUSCH through a first resource among the resources without receiving a dynamic grant for the PUSCH; and

receive the DFI including the HARQ-ACK information for the PUSCH through a second resource located after the duration from the first resource,

wherein the duration is dependent on a configured subcarrier spacing.
