Method for control signaling for multi-beam PUSCH repetition transmission
A method is provided for a base station (BS) in communication with a user equipment (UE). The UE is configured with codebook based transmission or non-codebook based transmission for multi-beam physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetition. Various options are provided for the UE to derive uplink precoders for the multi-beam PUSCH repetition.
1. A method comprising:
generating information to configure a user equipment (UE) with a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources;
identifying a first SRS resource indicator (SRI) to indicate a first SRS resource of the plurality of SRS resources, wherein the first SRS resource is configured with a first number of SRS ports;
determining a second SRS resource has to be selected from at least one SRS resource of the plurality of SRS resources that is configured with the first number of SRS ports;
selecting the second SRS resource from the at least one SRS resource;
identifying a second SRI to indicate the second SRS resource; and
generating downlink control information (DCI) to be transmitted to the UE to schedule transmission of a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions, the DCI to include the first SRI and the second SRI, wherein the first SRS resource is associated with a first PUSCH repetition of the plurality of PUSCH repetitions and the second SRS resource is associated with a second PUSCH repetition of the plurality of PUSCH repetitions.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
configuring the UE for a codebook-based transmission of the plurality of PUSCH repetitions to at least two transmission-reception points (TRPs).
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
enabling the UE for an uplink full power mode 2 transmission mode.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of SRS resources include a first plurality of SRS resources associated with a first SRS resource set and a second plurality of SRS resources associated with a second SRS resource set.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first plurality of SRS resources includes the first SRS resource and the second plurality of SRS resources includes the second SRS resource.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second plurality of SRS resources includes at least two SRS resources having a different number of SRS ports.
7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the first plurality of SRS resources includes a same number of resources as the second plurality of SRS resources.
8. The method of claim 4 , wherein a common number of SRS ports are configured for the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI further includes a transmission rank indicator to indicate a number of layers on which both the first PUSCH repetition and the second PUSCH repetition are to be transmitted.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI further includes a first transmission precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) to indicate a first precoder to be used to transmit the first PUSCH repetition and a second TPMI to indicate a second precoder to be used to transmit the second PUSCH repetition.
11. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:
receive a configuration of a plurality of sounding reference signal (SRS) resources;
receive downlink control information (DCI) that schedules transmission of a plurality of physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions, the DCI to include: a first SRS resource indicator (SRI) to indicate a first SRS resource of the plurality of SRS resources, wherein the first SRS resource is configured with a first number of SRS ports, the first SRS resource associated with a first PUSCH repetition of the plurality of PUSCH repetitions; and a second SRI to indicate a second SRS resource of the plurality of SRS resources, wherein the one or more processors are to determine the second SRS resource has to include the first number of SRS ports, the second SRS resource associated with a second PUSCH repetition of the plurality of PUSCH repetitions; and
select a first precoder for the first PUSCH repetition and a second precoder for the second PUSCH repetition based on the DCI.
12. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the one or more processors to:
receive a configuration for a codebook-based transmission of the plurality of PUSCH repetitions to at least two transmit-receive points (TRPs).
13. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause the one or more processors to:
enable an uplink full power mode 2 transmission mode.
14. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of SRS resources include a first plurality of SRS resources associated with a first SRS resource set and a second plurality of SRS resources associated with a second SRS resource set.
15. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 14 , wherein the first plurality of SRS resources includes the first SRS resource and the second plurality of SRS resources includes the second SRS resource.
16. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 14 , wherein the second plurality of SRS resources includes at least two SRS resources having a different number of SRS ports.
17. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 14 , wherein the first plurality of SRS resources includes a same number of resources as the second plurality of SRS resources.
18. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 14 , wherein a common number of SRS ports are configured for the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set.
19. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 11 , wherein the DCI further includes a transmission rank indicator to indicate a number of layers on which both the first PUSCH repetition and the second PUSCH repetition are to be transmitted.
20. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 6 , wherein the DCI further includes a first transmission precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) to indicate the first precoder to be used to transmit the first PUSCH repetition and a second TPMI to indicate a second precoder to be used to transmit the second PUSCH repetition.
