Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system and, more particularly, to a method comprising the steps of: receiving a PDCCH for multi-slot scheduling; determining a PDSCH candidate for each slot on the basis of information in the PDCCH; and transmitting a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook on the basis of the determined PDSCH candidate of each slot, and to an apparatus therefor.

Claims (46)

1. A user equipment configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a communication module; and

a processor that controls the communication module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) having the following information:

index information indicating one entry in a time-domain resource allocation (TDRA) table for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) allocation, and

timing information indicating one value in a K1-set {K1 i } for PDSCH-to-hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) slot timing, wherein i represents an index of element;

determine a PDSCH candidate set associated with slot n−K1 i , wherein slot n is indicated by using the timing information; and

transmit a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook in the slot n, based on the PDSCH candidate set,

wherein, for determining the PDSCH candidate set, the K1-set is replaced by a sum of the K1-set {K1 i } and {d k } based on at least one entry in the TDRA table being associated with multi-slot scheduling, and d k corresponds to a number of slots between a slot to which a last PDSCH can be allocated and a slot to which a k-th PDSCH can be allocated based on the multi-slot scheduling in the TDRA table, and k represents an index of element.

2. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of HARQ-ACK occasions is determined based on the PDSCH candidate set, and the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook is configured based on the plurality of HARQ-ACK occasions.

3. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein a subcarrier spacing (SCS) applied to a downlink slot is the same as a SCS applied to an uplink slot.

4. The user equipment of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication system includes a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) new radio (NR)-based wireless communication system.

5. A method for use by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) having the following information:

index information indicating one entry in a time-domain resource allocation (TDRA) table for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) allocation, and

timing information indicating one value in a K1-set {K1 i } for PDSCH-to-hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) slot timing, wherein i represents an index of element;

determining a PDSCH candidate set associated with slot n−K1 i , wherein slot n is indicated by using the timing information; and

transmitting a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook in the slot n, based on the PDSCH candidate set,

wherein, for determining the PDSCH candidate set, the K1-set is replaced by a sum of the K1-set {K1 i } and {d k } based on at least one entry in the TDRA table being associated with multi-slot scheduling, and d k corresponds to a number of slots between a slot to which a last PDSCH can be allocated and a slot to which a k-th PDSCH can be allocated based on the multi-slot scheduling in the TDRA table, and k represents an index of element.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein a plurality of HARQ-ACK occasions is determined based on the PDSCH candidate set, and the semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook is configured based on the plurality of HARQ-ACK occasions.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein a subcarrier spacing (SCS) applied to a downlink slot is the same as a SCS applied to an uplink slot.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the wireless communication system includes a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) new radio (NR)-based wireless communication system.

9. A base station configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

12. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the wireless communication system includes a 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) new radio (NR)-based wireless communication system.

13. A method for use by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) having the following information:

index information indicating one entry in a time-domain resource allocation (TDRA) table for physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) allocation, and

timing information indicating one value in a K1-set {K1 i } for PDSCH-to-hybrid automatic repeat and request (HARQ) slot timing, wherein i represents an index of element;

determining a PDSCH candidate set associated with slot n-K1 i , wherein slot n is indicated by using the timing information; and

receiving a semi-static HARQ-ACK codebook in the slot n, based on the PDSCH candidate set,
