Abstract

A communication method and system for converging a 5 th generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) is provided. The disclosure relates to an intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Further, a method and an apparatus for dynamically configuring channel loss measurement is provided.

Claims (60)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including information on mapping between sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) power control identifier (ID) and PUSCH pathloss reference reference signal (RS) ID values;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including an SRI;

identifying a pathloss based on the DCI; and

transmitting, to the base station, a PUSCH based on the identified pathloss,

wherein the mapping is updated by a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) received from the base station, and

wherein the MAC CE includes:

first information indicating a PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID which is to be updated in the mapping,

second information indicating an SRI PUSCH power control ID mapped to the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID, and

third information indicating a presence of an additional SRI PUSCH power control ID mapped to the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID values is configured up to 64.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC CE further includes information on a serving cell ID and information on a bandwidth part ID.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAC CE is identified by a new logical channel ID value.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying of the pathloss based on the DCI comprises:

identifying an RS for pathloss mapped to the SRI of the DCI; and

identifying the pathloss using the identified RS for pathloss.

6. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, a radio resource control (RRC) message including information on mapping between sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) power control identifier (ID) and PUSCH pathloss reference reference signal (RS) ID values;

transmitting, to the terminal, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) for updating the mapping; and

transmitting, to the terminal, downlink control information (DCI) including an SRI,

wherein the MAC CE includes:

first information indicating a PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID which is to be updated in the mapping,

second information indicating an SRI PUSCH power control ID mapped to the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID, and

third information indicating a presence of an additional SRI PUSCH power control ID mapped to the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a number of the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID values is configured up to 64.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the MAC CE further includes information on a serving cell ID and information on a bandwidth part ID.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the MAC CE is generated based on a new logical channel ID value.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the SRI of the DCI is mapped to an RS for pathloss, and a pathloss for the PUSCH is associated with the RS for pathloss.

11. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a base station via the transceiver, a radio resource control (RRC) message including information on mapping between sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) power control identifier (ID) and PUSCH pathloss reference reference signal (RS) ID values,

receive, from the base station via the transceiver, downlink control information (DCI) including an SRI,

identify a pathloss based on the DCI, and

transmit, to the base station via the transceiver, a PUSCH based on the identified pathloss,

wherein the mapping is updated by a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) received from the base station, and

wherein the MAC CE includes:

first information indicating a PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID which is to be updated in the mapping,

second information indicating an SRI PUSCH power control ID mapped to the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID, and

third information indicating a presence of an additional SRI PUSCH power control ID mapped to the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID.

12. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein a number of the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID values is configured up to 64.

13. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the MAC CE further includes information on a serving cell ID and information on a bandwidth part ID.

14. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the MAC CE is identified by a new logical channel ID value.

15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

identify an RS for pathloss mapped to the SRI of the DCI, and

identify the pathloss using the identified RS for pathloss.

16. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, to a terminal via the transceiver, a radio resource control (RRC) message including information on mapping between sounding reference signal resource indicator (SRI) physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) power control identifier (ID) and PUSCH pathloss reference reference signal (RS) ID values,

transmit, to the terminal via the transceiver, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) for updating the mapping, and

transmit, to the terminal via the transceiver, downlink control information (DCI) including an SRI,

wherein the MAC CE includes:

first information indicating a PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID which is to be updated in the mapping,

second information indicating an SRI PUSCH power control ID mapped to the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID, and

third information indicating a presence of an additional SRI PUSCH power control ID mapped to the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID.

17. The base station of claim 16 , wherein a number of the PUSCH pathloss reference RS ID values is configured up to 64.

18. The base station of claim 16 , wherein the MAC CE further includes information on a serving cell ID and information on a bandwidth part ID.

19. The base station of claim 16 , wherein the MAC CE is generated based on a new logical channel ID value.

20. The base station of claim 16 , wherein the SRI of the DCI is mapped to an RS for pathloss, and a pathloss for the PUSCH is associated with the RS for pathloss.
