Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for repeatedly transmitting an uplink in a wireless communication system. A method by which a terminal repeatedly transmits a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprises the steps of: receiving configuration information related to repeated transmission of the PUSCH; receiving downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling of the PUSCH; and repeatedly transmitting the PUSCH N times (an integer, greater than 1, of N) on the basis of the configuration information and the DCI. The PUSCH transmitted N times is circularly and sequentially mapped to a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states in an ascending order, may be grouped into M PUSCH groups (an integer, greater than 1, of N) for each PUSCH to which the same TCI is mapped, and frequency hopping may be individually applied to the M PUSCH groups.

Claims (49)

1. A method of repeatedly transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information related to repeated transmission of the PUSCH;

receiving downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling the PUSCH; and

repeatedly transmitting the PUSCH N times (N is an integer greater than 1) based on the configuration information and the DCI,

wherein a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states are sequentially and circularly mapped to the N PUSCHs in an ascending order,

wherein PUSCHs mapped with an identical TCI are grouped into M (N is an integer greater than 1) PUSCH groups,

wherein frequency hopping is individually applied to the M PUSCH groups.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the N PUSCHs are transmitted repeatedly in N slots by transmitting one PUSCH in one slot,

wherein the frequency hopping is applied at the slot level.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the N PUSCHs are transmitted in units of a plurality of symbols,

wherein the frequency hopping is applied for each transmission occasion of the N PUSCHs.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein a symbol gap exists between contiguous PUSCHs in the N PUSCHs.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the M PUSCH groups are transmitted to different transmission reception points (TRPs) using the TCI state mapped to each group,

wherein the M PUSCH groups are transmitted by applying a precoder and a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based on a channel of each TRP.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of TCI states are configured by higher layer signaling.

7. A terminal for repeatedly transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

at least one transceiver for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

at least one processor for controlling the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive configuration information related to repeated transmission of the PUSCH;

receive downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling the PUSCH; and

repeatedly transmit the PUSCH N times (N is an integer greater than 1) based on the configuration information and the DCI,

wherein a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states are sequentially and circularly mapped to the N PUSCHs in an ascending order,

wherein PUSCHs mapped with an identical TCI are grouped into M (N is an integer greater than 1) PUSCH groups,

wherein frequency hopping is individually applied to the M PUSCH groups.

8. The terminal of claim 7 ,

wherein the N PUSCHs are transmitted repeatedly in N slots by transmitting one PUSCH in one slot,

wherein the frequency hopping is applied at the slot level.

9. The terminal of claim 7 ,

wherein the N PUSCHs are transmitted in units of a plurality of symbols,

wherein the frequency hopping is applied for each transmission occasion of the N PUSCHs.

10. The terminal of claim 9 ,

wherein a symbol gap exists between contiguous PUSCHs in the N PUSCHs.

11. The terminal of claim 7 ,

wherein the M PUSCH groups are transmitted to different transmission reception points (TRPs) using the TCI state mapped to each group,

wherein the M PUSCH groups are transmitted by applying a precoder and a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based on a channel of each TRP.

12. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing at least one instruction,

wherein the at least one instruction executable by at least one processor controls a device for repeatedly transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a wireless communication system to:

receive configuration information related to repeated transmission of the PUSCH;

receive downlink control information (DCI) for scheduling the PUSCH; and

repeatedly transmit the PUSCH N times (N is an integer greater than 1) based on the configuration information and the DCI,

wherein a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states are sequentially and circularly mapped to the N PUSCHs in an ascending order,

wherein PUSCHs mapped with an identical TCI are grouped into M (N is an integer greater than 1) PUSCH groups,

wherein frequency hopping is individually applied to the M PUSCH groups.
