Abstract

Claims (44)

1. A grant-free data communication method of a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information of a grant-free transmission resource, wherein the configuration information of the grant-free transmission resource comprises information about a resource region in time and frequency resource domain of the grant-free transmission resource;

selecting one of a plurality of partial resources included in the grant-free transmission resource as a transmission resource for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), based on the configuration information;

transmitting, to the base station, uplink control information (UCI) comprising scheduling information of the selected partial resource and index information of the selected partial resource; and

transmitting, to the base station, the PUSCH based on the selected partial resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information of the grant-free transmission resource further comprises periodicity information of the grant-free transmission resource,

wherein the UCI comprises time and frequency resource allocation information of the selected partial resource, and

wherein the transmitting of the UCI comprises transmitting the UCI based on a partial region of the region of the grant-free transmission resource.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the resource region in the time and frequency resource domain of the grant-free transmission resource comprises a fixed resource region and a flexible resource region,

wherein the partial region of the region of the grant-free transmission resource comprises the fixed resource region, and

wherein the selected partial resource comprises at least a part of the flexible resource region.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the transmitting of the UCI comprises transmitting the UCI through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmitted through the fixed resource region, or through a PUSCH transmitted through the fixed resource region.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising transmitting a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) or a preamble in a resource region corresponding to a frequency resource region of the grant-free transmission resource, or in a resource region corresponding to a frequency resource region of the selected partial resource.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining a transport block size (TBS) of the PUSCH, based on the selected partial resource and a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of the PUSCH.

7. A grant-free data communication method of a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting configuration information of a grant-free transmission resource to a terminal, wherein the configuration information of the grant-free transmission resource comprises information about a resource region in time and frequency resource domain of the grant-free transmission resource;

determining whether a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the terminal is transmitted in a grant-free transmission resource region determined based on the configuration information;

obtaining uplink control information (UCI) comprising scheduling information and index information of a partial resource in which PUSCH is transmitted, from the terminal through a partial region of the grant-free transmission resource region, based on a result of the determining; and

obtaining the PUSCH from the terminal, based on the UCI, via the partial resource among a plurality of partial resources included in the grant-free transmission resource.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the configuration information of the grant-free transmission resource further comprises periodicity information of the grant-free transmission resource, and

wherein the resource region in the time and frequency resource domain of the grant-free transmission resource comprises a fixed resource region and a flexible resource region.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the obtaining of the UCI comprises obtaining the UCI through the fixed resource region, and

wherein the obtaining of the PUSCH from the terminal, based on the UCI, comprises obtaining the PUSCH through the flexible resource region.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the determining of whether the PUSCH of the terminal is transmitted in the grant-free transmission resource region determined based on the configuration information comprises determining whether the PUSCH is transmitted from the terminal, based on whether a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) or a preamble is received in a resource region corresponding to a frequency resource region of the grant-free transmission resource.

11. A terminal using a grant-free data communication method in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one controller connected to the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, configuration information of a grant-free transmission resource, wherein the configuration information of the grant-free transmission resource comprises information about a resource region in time and frequency resource domain of the grant-free transmission resource;

select one of a plurality of partial resources included in the grant-free transmission resources as a transmission resource for transmitting a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), based on the configuration information, transmit, to the base station, uplink control information (UCI) comprising scheduling information of the selected partial resource and index information of the selected partial resource; and

transmit, to the base station, the PUSCH based on the selected partial resource.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the configuration information of the grant-free transmission resource further comprises periodicity information of the grant-free transmission resource,

wherein the UCI comprises time and frequency resource allocation information of the selected partial resource, and

wherein the controller is further configured to transmit the UCI based on a partial region of the region of the grant-free transmission resource.

13. The terminal of claim 12 , wherein the resource region in the time and frequency resource domain of the grant-free transmission resource comprises a fixed resource region and a flexible resource region,

wherein the partial region of the region of the grant-free transmission resource comprises the fixed resource region, and

wherein the selected partial resource comprises at least a part of the flexible resource region.

14. The terminal of claim 13 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit the UCI through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmitted through the fixed resource region, or through a PUSCH transmitted through the fixed resource region.

15. A base station using a grant-free data communication method in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one controller connected to the transceiver and configured to:

transmit configuration information of a grant-free transmission resource to a terminal, wherein the configuration information of the grant-free transmission resource comprises information about a resource region in time and frequency resource domain of the grant-free transmission resource;

determine whether a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) of the terminal is transmitted in a grant-free transmission resource region determined based on the configuration information;

obtain uplink control information (UCI) comprising scheduling information and index information of a partial resource in which PUSCH is transmitted, from the terminal through a partial region of the grant-free transmission resource region, based on a result of the determining; and

obtain the PUSCH from the terminal, based on the UCI, via the partial resource among a plurality of partial resources included in the grant-free transmission resource.
