Abstract

Provided are a method and a device for hopping a frequency to perform uplink transmission. The method may include: receiving frequency hopping configuration information for a transport block transmitted using a plurality of slots; determining a frequency resource location to be hopped in the plurality of slots based on the frequency hopping configuration information; and transmitting the transport block through the plurality of slots according to the frequency resource location.

Claims (26)

1. A method of a user equipment for frequency hopping to perform uplink transmission, the method comprising:

receiving frequency hopping configuration information for a single transport block over multi-slot (TBoMS) where a single transport block is transmitted using a plurality of slots;

determining a frequency resource location to be hopped in the plurality of slots assigned for transmitting the single transport block based on the frequency hopping configuration information; and

transmitting the single transport block through the plurality of assigned slots according to the frequency resource location,

wherein the transport block is one of a plurality of transport blocks constituting a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) to be transmitted.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency hopping configuration information comprises information on frequency hopping offset information, and the frequency hopping configuration information is received by high layer signaling.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency hopping is applied based on a configured slot unit in which repeated transmission is configured when the repeated transmission is configured for the transport block.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein for the transport block, a number of coded bits applied to each slot is set to be same as a number of coded bits when transmitted using a single slot.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency hopping is applied based on a bandwidth part (BWP) configured for the user equipment.

6. A method of a base station for frequency hopping to perform uplink reception, the method comprising:

transmitting frequency hopping configuration information for a single transport block over multi-slot (TBoMS) where a single transport block is transmitted using a plurality of slots; and

receiving the transport block through the plurality of slots assigned for transmitting the single transport block according to a determined frequency resource location to be hopped in the plurality of slots based on the frequency hopping configuration information,

wherein the transport block is one of a plurality of transport blocks constituting a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) to be transmitted.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the frequency hopping configuration information comprises information on frequency hopping offset information, and the frequency hopping configuration information is received by high layer signaling.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the frequency hopping is applied based on the configured slot unit in which repeated transmission is configured when the repeated transmission is configured for the transport block.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein for the transport block, a number of coded bits applied to each of the plurality of slots is set to be same as a number of coded bits when transmitted using a single slot.

10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the frequency hopping is applied based on a bandwidth part (BWP) configured for the user equipment.

11. A user equipment of performing frequency hopping for uplink transmission, the user equipment comprising:

a receiver configured to receive frequency hopping configuration information for a single transport block over multi-slot (TBoMS) where a single transport block is transmitted using a plurality of slots;

a controller configured to determine a frequency resource location to be hopped in the plurality of slots assigned for transmitting the single transport block based on the frequency hopping configuration information; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the single transport block through the plurality of slots according to the frequency resource location,

wherein the transport block is one of a plurality of transport blocks constituting a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) to be transmitted.

12. The user equipment according to claim 11 , wherein the frequency hopping configuration information comprises information on frequency hopping offset information, and the frequency hopping configuration information is received by high layer signaling.

13. The user equipment according to claim 11 , wherein the frequency hopping is applied based on the configured slot unit in which repeated transmission is configured when the repeated transmission is configured for the transport block.

14. The user equipment according to claim 11 , wherein for the transport block, a number of coded bits applied to each of the plurality of slots is set to be same as a number of coded bits when transmitted using a single slot.

15. The user equipment according to claim 11 , wherein the frequency hopping is applied based on a bandwidth part (BWP) configured for the user equipment.
