Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a method and apparatus for power control of configured grant PUSCH repetition. A method according to an embodiment of the present application may include: receiving a configuration including a mapping transmitting a configuration for a configured grant pattern and a plurality of pathloss reference RS Ids for a configured PUSCH transmission which is configured to be grant physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, which transmitted in a plurality of time intervals repeatedly is configured to be transmitted in a plurality of time intervals repeatedly by higher layer signaling; determining a power of each PUSCH repetition of the configured grant PUSCH transmission based on the configuration; and transmitting the configured grant PUSCH transmission in the plurality of time intervals repeatedly based on the de-ermined power of each PUSCH repetition of the PUSCH transmission and the mapping pattern.

Claims (35)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a configuration including a mapping pattern and a plurality of pathloss reference signal (RS) identifiers (Ids) for a configured grant physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, which is configured to be transmitted in a plurality of time intervals repeatedly by higher layer signaling;

determining a power of each PUSCH repetition of the configured grant PUSCH transmission based on the configuration; and

transmitting the configured grant PUSCH transmission in the plurality of time intervals repeatedly based on the determined power of each PUSCH repetition of the configured grant PUSCH transmission and the mapping pattern.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pathloss reference RS Ids are configured in rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrant included in configuredGrantConfig.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration further includes one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicators, and each SRS resource indicator indicates one SRS resource for codebook based transmission or one SRS resource subset for non-codebook based transmission.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the configuration further includes one or more p0-PUSCH-Alpha Ids, and each p0-PUSCH-Alpha Id is associated with one SRS resource indicated by one SRS resource indicator of the one or more SRS resource indicators for the codebook based transmission or one SRS resource subset indicated by the one SRS resource indicator of the one or more SRS resource indicators for the non-codebook based transmission.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the configuration further includes one or more closed loop indexes, and each closed loop index is associated with one SRS resource indicated by one SRS resource indicator of the one or more SRS resource indicators for the codebook based transmission or one SRS resource subset indicated by the one SRS resource indicator of the one or more SRS resource indicators for the non-codebook based transmission.

6.

15. An apparatus, comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a processor coupled to the receiver and the transmitter configured to cause the apparatus to:

transmit a configuration including a mapping pattern and a plurality of pathloss reference signal (RS) identifiers (Ids) for a configured rant physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, which is configured to be transmitted in a plurality of time intervals repeatedly; and

receive the configured grant PUSCH transmission in the plurality of time intervals repeatedly according to the mapping pattern, wherein a power of each PUSCH repetition of the configured grant PUSCH transmission is determined based on the configuration.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the plurality of pathloss reference RS Ids are configured in rrc-ConfiguredUplinkGrant included in configuredGrantConfig.

17. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the configuration includes one or more sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicators, and each SRS resource indicator indicates one or more SRS resources for codebook based transmission or one or more SRS resource subsets for non-codebook based transmission.
