Abstract

A method for receiving a data channel by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system is disclosed, the method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprising: reporting, to a base station, channel state information (Channel State Information); receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including first information and second information; and receiving, from the base station, the data channel scheduled based on the DCI, wherein the first information indicates a plurality of TCI states and the second information indicates a plurality of DMRS (Demodulation Reference Signal) ports determined based on the channel state information, wherein the plurality of DMRS ports are associated with a plurality of code division multiplexing (CDM) groups, wherein a first TCI state corresponds to a first CDM group of a first DMRS port based on an instruction order of the plurality of DMRS ports.

Claims (49)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

reporting, to a base station, channel state information (Channel State Information);

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including i) a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field and ii) an antenna port field,

wherein an entry related to one or more Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) groups and one or more DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) ports is indicated based on the antenna port field, and

wherein a code point corresponding to one or more TCI states is indicated based on the TCI field of the DCI; and

receiving, from the base station, a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) which is transmitted through an antenna port associated with a specific DMRS port among the one or more DMRS ports,

wherein, based on i) a number of the one or more TCI states corresponding to the code point being 2 and ii) a number of the one or more CDM groups including the one or more DMRS ports being 1, a number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted is determined as 1, and

wherein, based on i) the number of the one or more TCI states being 2 and ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups being 2:

a number of DMRS ports related to a first CDM group is 1,

a number of DMRS ports related to a second CDM group is 2, and

one of the one or more CDM groups includes a DMRS port 0 among the one or more DMRS ports based on the entry.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on a maximum value of the number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted being 1, the number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted is determined as 1.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, PTRS related configuration information including information regarding the maximum value of the number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the maximum value of the number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted is determined based on the information regarding the maximum value of the number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on a maximum value of the number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted being 2, the number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted is determined as 1 or 2.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein, based on i) the number of TCI states corresponding to the code point being 2, ii) the number of CDM groups including the one or more DMRS ports being 2, and iii) the maximum value of the number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted being 2, the number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted is determined as 2.

7. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein, based on i) the number of TCI states corresponding to the code point being 2, ii) the number of CDM groups including the one or more DMRS ports being 1, and iii) the maximum value of the number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted being 2, the number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted is determined as 1.

8. A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

one or more transceivers;

one or more processors; and

one or more memories for storing instructions for operations executed by the one or more processors and being coupled to the one or more processors;

wherein the operations comprise:

reporting, to a base station, channel state information (Channel State Information);

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including i) a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field and ii) an antenna port field,

wherein an entry related to one or more Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) groups and one or more DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) ports is indicated based on the antenna port field, and

wherein a code point corresponding to one or more TCI states is indicated based on the TCI field of the DCI; and

receiving, from the base station, a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) which is transmitted through an antenna port associated with a specific DMRS port among the one or more DMRS ports,

wherein based on i) a number of the one or more TCI states corresponding to the code point being 2 and ii) a number of the one or more CDM groups including the one or more DMRS ports being 1, a number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted is determined as 1, and

wherein, based on i) the number of the one or more TCI states being 2 and ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups being 2:

a number of DMRS ports related to a first CDM group is 1,

a number of DMRS ports related to a second CDM group is 2, and

one of the one or more CDM groups includes a DMRS port 0 among the one or more DMRS ports based on the entry.

9. An apparatus comprising one or more memories and one or more processors operatively coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors being configured to control the apparatus to:

report, to a base station, channel state information (Channel State Information);

receive, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including i) a transmission configuration indication (TCI) field and ii) an antenna port field,

wherein an entry related to one or more Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) groups and one or more DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) ports is indicated based on the antenna port field, and

wherein a code point corresponding to one or more TCI states is indicated based on the TCI field of the DCI; and

receive, from the base station, a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) which is transmitted through an antenna port associated with a specific DMRS port among the one or more DMRS ports,

wherein, based on i) a number of the one or more TCI states corresponding to the code point being 2 and ii) a number of the one or more CDM groups including the one or more DMRS ports being 1, a number of antenna ports through which the PTRS is transmitted is determined as 1, and

wherein, based on i) the number of the one or more TCI states being 2 and ii) the number of the one or more CDM groups being 2:

a number of DMRS ports related to a first CDM group is 1,

a number of DMRS ports related to a second CDM group is 2, and

one of the one or more CDM groups includes a DMRS port 0 among the one or more DMRS ports based on the entry.
