Abstract

Claims (37)

1. A method of wireless communication by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a base station;

decoding a master information block (MIB) included in the SSB;

identifying a value corresponding to at least one of a subcarrier spacing (SCS) of the MIB, a subcarrier offset for the SSB, or a reserved bit of the MIB in an initial connection with the base station; and

based on the identified value, determining setting information of a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) included in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for the initial connection with the base station.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identified value corresponds to the SCS in the initial connection with the base station and the method further comprises:

determining that the PTRS is included in the PDSCH when the SCS indicates a predefined value, wherein the identified value comprises the predefined value.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the PTRS is transmitted based on a predetermined time density and frequency density, and wherein the predefined value corresponds to one of 480 KHz or 960 KHz.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identified value corresponds to the subcarrier offset for the SSB in the initial connection with the base station and the method further comprises:

determining whether the subcarrier offset indicates a predefined frequency domain;

identifying a least significant bit (LSB) value among bits corresponding to the subcarrier offset, when the predefined frequency domain is indicated; and

determining that the PTRS is included in the PDSCH or the PUSCH when the LSB value of the subcarrier offset is 1, wherein the identified value comprises the LSB value of the subcarrier offset.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the PTRS is transmitted based on a predetermined time density and frequency density.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identified value corresponds to the reserved bit of the MIB in the initial connection with the base station and the method further comprises:

determining that the PTRS is included in the PDSCH or the PUSCH when the reserved bit corresponds to a predefined value, wherein the identified value comprises the predefined value.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the setting information included of the PTRS is included in the PDSCH transmitted with the initial connection and determines a configured modulation and coding scheme (MCS) range and a resource block (RB) range as preset values.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising compensating for a phase distortion in a wireless communication with the base station using the setting information of the PTRS.

9. A method of wireless communication by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a base station;

decoding a master information block (MIB) included in the SSB;

identifying a value corresponding to a subcarrier offset for the SSB in an initial connection with the base station; and

determining setting information of a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) included in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the identified value,

wherein the identified value corresponds to the subcarrier offset for the SSB in the initial connection with the base station and the method further comprises:

determining that the subcarrier offset indicates a predefined frequency domain;

identifying a significant bit value among bits corresponding to the subcarrier offset indicating the predefined frequency domain; and

determining that the PTRS is included in the PDSCH or the PUSCH when the significant bit value of the subcarrier offset corresponds to a predetermined value, wherein the identified value comprises the significant bit value of the subcarrier offset.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the PTRS is transmitted based on a predetermined time density and frequency density.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the setting information of the PTRS is included in the PDSCH transmitted with the initial connection and determines a configured modulation and coding scheme (MCS) range and a resource block (RB) range as preset values.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising compensating for a phase distortion in a wireless communication with the base station using the setting information of the PTRS.

13. A method of wireless communication by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a synchronization signal block (SSB) from a base station;

decoding a master information block (MIB) included in the SSB;

identifying a value corresponding to a reserved bit of the MIB in an initial connection with the base station; and

determining setting information of a phase tracking reference signal (PTRS) included in a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) based on the identified value,

wherein the identified value corresponds to the reserved bit of the MIB in the initial connection with the base station and the method further comprises determining that the PTRS is included in the PDSCH or the PUSCH when the reserved bit corresponds to a predefined value, wherein the identified value comprises the predefined value.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the setting information of the PTRS is included in the PDSCH transmitted with the initial connection and determines a configured modulation and coding scheme (MCS) range and a resource block (RB) range as preset values.

15. The method of claim 13 , further comprising compensating for a phase distortion in a wireless communication with the base station using the setting information of the PTRS.
