Abstract

Claims (33)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), based on two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states indicated for related to a control resource set (CORESET); and

based on i) the terminal being configured with both a scheme associated with two TCI states for the PDCCH and a scheme associated with two TCI states for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), ii) a time offset between a reception of a downlink control information (DCI) and the PDSCH scheduled based on the DCI being equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, and iii) the DCI received through the PDCCH not including a TCI field, receiving the PDSCH based on two TCI states which are identical to the two TCI states indicated for the CORESET.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

two or more TCI states are configured for one or more CORESETs, and

one or more TCI states are configured for each of the one or more CORESETs.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the DCI is DCI format 1_0.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the two TCI states are indicated by a medium access control-control element (MAC-CE) for the CORESET.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

at most one TCI state is configured for a CORESET, among the one or more CORESETS, related to at least one of CORESET 0, a common search space, a search space related to a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ), or a search space related to a physical random access channel (PRACH).

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the two or more TCI states includes a plurality of TCI states configured for a plurality of CORESETs that are paired.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein:

a mapping relationship between the plurality of TCI states configured for the plurality of CORESETs and a plurality of transmission occasions (TOs) of a PDSCH scheduled through the plurality of CORESETs is pre-configured through at least one of a higher layer signaling, medium access control-control element (MAC-CE), or DCI, or

a mapping relationship between the plurality of TCI states configured for the plurality of CORESETs and a plurality of TOs of a PDSCH scheduled through the plurality of CORESETs is determined based on a pre-defined criterion.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the pre-defined criterion includes that the plurality of TCI states configured for the plurality of CORESETs are mapped to a plurality of TOs of a PDSCH scheduled through the plurality of CORESETs, based on at least one of an order of configuration of the plurality of CORESETs that are paired, an order of CORESET identifier of the plurality of CORESETs that are paired.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein:

the two or more TCI states are mapped sequentially and cyclically in an ascending order of index of a plurality of TOs of a PDSCH,

the plurality of TOs of the PDSCH are grouped into a plurality of TO groups, and the two or more TCI states are mapped sequentially in an ascending order of index of the TO groups, or

the plurality of TOs of the PDSCH are grouped into a plurality of TO groups, and for each TO group, the two or more TCI states are mapped sequentially and cyclically in an ascending order of index of the TO groups.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the TCI state is related to at least one quasi co-location reference signal (QCL RS).

11. A terminal configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor connected to the at least one transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, through the at least one transceiver, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), based on two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states indicated for a control resource set (CORESET); and

based on i) the terminal being configured with both a scheme associated with two TCI states for the PDCCH and a scheme associated with two TCI states for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), i ii) a time offset between a reception of a downlink control information (DCI) and the PDSCH scheduled based on the DCI being equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, and iii) the DCI received through the PDCCH not including a TCI field, receive, through the at least one transceiver, the PDSCH based on two TCI states which are identical to the two TCI states indicated for the CORESET.

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

transmitting, to a terminal, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) based on two transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states indicated for a control resource set (CORESET); and

based on i) the terminal being configured with both scheme associated with two TCI states for the PDCCH and a scheme associated with two TCI states for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), ii) a time offset between a reception of a downlink control information (DCI) and the PDSCH scheduled based on the DCI being equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, and iii) the DCI transmitted through the PDCCH not including a TCI field, transmitting the PDSCH based on two TCI states which are identical to the two TCI states indicated for the CORESET.
