Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is described. The UE includes receiving circuitry configured to receive resource allocation information of a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) and a number of repetitions for the PUSCH. The UE also includes control circuitry configured to calculate a transport block size (TBS) for the PUSCH. The UE further includes transmission circuitry configured to transmit the PUSCH. The TBS is calculated based on a number of resource elements (REs) for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS), REs for additional DMRS, and REs for a DMRS added right after a slot boundary for a repetition of the PUSCH.

Claims (25)

1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

reception circuitry configured to receive downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

control circuitry configured to determine a transport block size (TBS) for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

transmission circuitry configured to transmit the PUSCH based on the DCI, wherein

in a case that a PUSCH mapping type B and more than one PUSCH repetition are applied,

the DCI includes information on a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, a number of scheduled OFDM symbols of a repetition of the PUSCH, and a number of repetitions of the PUSCH; and

the TBS is determined based on a number of resource elements (REs) of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and the number of scheduled OFDM symbols of the repetition.

2. The UE according to claim 1 , wherein

in a case the repetition has multiple segments, the TBS for each of the multiple segments is determined based on the number of REs of the DMRS and the number of scheduled OFDM symbols of the repetition.

3. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

determining a transport block size (TBS) for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

transmitting the PUSCH based on the DCI, wherein

in a case that a PUSCH mapping type B and more than one PUSCH repetition are applied,

the DCI includes information on a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, a number of scheduled OFDM symbols of a repetition of the PUSCH, and a number of repetitions of the PUSCH; and

the TBS is determined based on a number of resource elements (REs) of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and the number of scheduled OFDM symbols of the repetition.

4. A base station comprising:

transmission circuitry configured to transmit downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH);

control circuitry configured to determine a transport block size (TBS) for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); and

reception circuitry configured to receive the PUSCH based on the DCI, wherein

in a case that a PUSCH mapping type B and more than one PUSCH repetition are applied,

the DCI includes information on a starting orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, a number of scheduled OFDM symbols of a repetition of the PUSCH, and a number of repetitions of the PUSCH; and

the TBS is determined based on a number of resource elements (REs) of a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and the number of scheduled OFDM symbols of the repetition.

5. The base station according to claim 4 , wherein

in a case the repetition has multiple segments, the TBS for each of the multiple segments is determined based on the number of REs of the DMRS and the number of scheduled OFDM symbols of the repetition.
