Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A downlink transmission method performed by user equipment and user equipment are provided. The downlink transmission method performed by the user equipment includes: receiving a predefined downlink signal in a predefined downlink resource, and performing ACK feedback according to the received downlink signal, thereby implementing the performing of downlink data transmission in an RRC idling or inactive state, or establishing RRC connection more rapidly.

receiving, from a base station, information associated with a physical random access channel (PRACH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource for a 2-step random access type procedure;

mapping a number of N preamble indexes of valid PRACH occasions to a valid PUSCH occasion and an associated demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resource; and

transmitting, to the base station, a PUSCH on the valid PUSCH occasion,

a total number of valid PRACH occasions per association pattern period multiplied by a number of preambles per valid PRACH occasion, and

a total number of valid PUSCH occasions per PUSCH configuration per association pattern period multiplied by a number of DMRS resource indexes per valid PUSCH occasion.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information comprises a first configuration of random access parameters and a second configuration of PUSCH parameters,

wherein the number of preambles per valid PRACH occasion is determined based on the first configuration, and

wherein the number of DMRS resource indexes per valid PUSCH occasion is determined based on the second configuration.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein N is identified as N=┌T preamble /T PUSCH ┐

T preamble is the total number of valid PRACH occasions per association pattern period multiplied by the number of preambles per valid PRACH occasion, and

T PUSCH is the total number of valid PUSCH occasions per PUSCH configuration per association pattern period multiplied by the number of DMRS resource indexes per valid PUSCH occasion.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a PUSCH in a PUSCH occasion is not transmitted, in case that the PUSCH occasion is not mapped to a preamble of the valid PRACH occasions.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in case that a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resources configured in one PUSCH occasion is no larger than a threshold, only a DMRS port is configured without a DMRS sequence.

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

transmitting, to a terminal, information associated with a physical random access channel (PRACH) and a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource for a 2-step random access type procedure; and

receiving, from the terminal, a PUSCH on a valid PUSCH occasion,

wherein a number of N preamble indexes of valid PRACH occasions are mapped to the valid PUSCH occasion and an associated demodulation reference signal DMRS resource, and

wherein N is the number of preamble indexes mapped to the valid PUSCH occasion and associated DMRS resource and determined based on:

a total number of valid PRACH occasions per association pattern period multiplied by a number of preambles per valid PRACH occasion, and

a total number of valid PUSCH occasions per PUSCH configuration per association pattern period multiplied by a number of DMRS resource indexes per valid PUSCH occasion.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the information comprises a first configuration of random access parameters and a second configuration of PUSCH parameters,

wherein the number of preambles per valid PRACH occasion is determined based on the first configuration, and

wherein the number of DMRS resource indexes per valid PUSCH occasion is determined based on the second configuration.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein N is identified as N=┌T preamble /T PUSCH ┐

where:

T preamble is the total number of valid PRACH occasions per association pattern period multiplied by the number of preambles per valid PRACH occasion, and

T PUSCH is the total number of valid PUSCH occasions per PUSCH configuration per association pattern period multiplied by the number of DMRS resource indexes per valid PUSCH occasion.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein a PUSCH in a PUSCH occasion is not received, in case that the PUSCH occasion is not mapped to a preamble of the valid PRACH occasions.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein, in case that a number of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) resources configured in one PUSCH occasion is no larger than a threshold, only a DMRS port is configured without a DMRS sequence.

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