Abstract

The disclosure relates to a communication technique for combining an IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate than that of a beyond-4G system, and a system therefor. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety related services, and the like) based on 5G communication technologies and IoT-related technologies. In addition, the disclosure provides a method and apparatus for power control of an IAB node in a wireless communication system.

Claims (55)

1 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a licensed-assisted access (LAA) cell; and

transmitting, to the base station, the PUSCH including channel quality information in a subframe including a first slot and a second slot following the first slot, wherein the channel quality information is transmitted only on the second slot of the subframe in case that the PUSCH is associated with a partial PUSCH mode,

wherein the channel quality information is transmitted based on a value C′ defined as C′=Ñ symb UL /2−N start PUSCH , where:

Ñ symb UL =2(N symb UL −1), N symb UL is a number of symbols in a slot, and

N start PUSCH is 0 or 1 depending on a starting position of the PUSCH in the subframe.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a vector sequence associated with the channel quality information as an input of a channel interleaver; and

mapping the vector sequence to a channel interleaving matrix,

wherein a column index to which the vector sequence is mapped in the channel interleaving matrix is greater than or equal to the value C′.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUSCH further includes rank indication (RI) information and uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) data.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, information configuring the partial PUSCH mode by higher layer signaling; and

wherein the DCI includes an information field indicating the PUSCH is associated with the partial PUSCH mode.

5 . A user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

receive, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a licensed-assisted access (LAA) cell; and

transmit, to the base station, the PUSCH including channel quality information in a subframe including a first slot and a second slot following the first slot, wherein the channel quality information is transmitted only on the second slot of the subframe in case that the PUSCH is associated with a partial PUSCH mode,

wherein the channel quality information is transmitted based on a value C′ defined as C′=Ñ symb UL /2−N start PUSCH , where:

Ñ symb UL =2(N symb UL −1), N symb UL is a number of symbols in a slot, and

N start PUSCH is 0 or 1 depending on a starting position of the PUSCH in the subframe.

6 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

identify a vector sequence associated with the channel quality information as an input of a channel interleaver; and

map the vector sequence to a channel interleaving matrix, wherein a column index to which the vector sequence is mapped in the channel interleaving matrix is greater than or equal to the value C′.

7 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the PUSCH further includes rank indication (RI) information and uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) data.

8 . The UE of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, from the base station, information configuring the partial PUSCH mode by higher layer signaling; and

wherein the DCI includes an information field indicating the PUSCH is associated with the partial PUSCH mode.

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

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a licensed-assisted access (LAA) cell; and

receiving, from the UE, the PUSCH including channel quality information in a subframe including a first slot and a second slot following the first slot, wherein the channel quality information is received only on the second slot of the subframe in case that the PUSCH is associated with a partial PUSCH mode,

wherein the channel quality information is transmitted based on a value C′ defined as C′=Ñ symb UL /2−N start PUSCH , where:

Ñ symb UL =2(N symb UL −1), N symb UL is a number of symbols in a slot, and

N start PUSCH is 0 or 1 depending on a starting position of the PUSCH in the subframe.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein a vector sequence associated with the channel quality information is mapped to a channel interleaving matrix, and 0

wherein a column index to which the vector sequence is mapped in the channel interleaving matrix is greater than or equal to a value determined based on the first parameter and the second parameter.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the PUSCH further includes rank indication (RI) information and uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) data.

12 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, information configuring the partial PUSCH mode by higher layer signaling,

wherein the DCI includes an information field indicating the PUSCH is associated with the partial PUSCH mode.

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

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), downlink control information (DCI) scheduling a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a licensed-assisted access (LAA) cell, and

receive, from the UE, the PUSCH including channel quality information in a subframe including a first slot and a second slot following the first slot, wherein the channel quality information is received only on the second slot of the subframe in case that the PUSCH is associated with a partial PUSCH mode,

wherein the channel quality information is transmitted based on a value C′ defined as C′=Ñ symb UL /2−N start PUSCH , where:

Ñ symb UL =2(N symb UL −1), N symb UL is a number of symbols in a slot, and

N start PUSCH is 0 or 1 depending on a starting position of the PUSCH in the subframe.

14 . The base station of claim 13 , wherein a vector sequence associated with the channel quality information is mapped to a channel interleaving matrix,

wherein a column index to which the vector sequence is mapped in the channel interleaving matrix is greater than or equal to a value determined based on the first parameter and the second parameter.
