Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rates. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, provided is a method performed in a communication system by a terminal. The method is characterized by comparing the steps of: receiving an RRC message comprising configuration information for a first SRS resource set and a second SRS resource set; receiving, from a base station, a DCI for indicating at least one of a first SRI or a second SRI on a PDCCH; and performing repetition of PUSCH transmission on the basis of at least one of the SRI indicated by the DCI, the first SRS resource set, or the second SRS resource set, wherein the first SRI is associated with the most recent transmission before the PDCCH of the SRS resource identified by the first SRI in the first SRS resource set, and the second SRI is associated with the most recent transmission before the PDCCH of the SRS resource identified by the second SRI in the second SRS resource set.

Claims (15)

1 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including configuration information on a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set and a second SRS resource set; receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a first SRS resource indicator (SRI) field and a second SRI field; and applying the first SRI and the second SRI to one or more physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions, wherein the first SRI is associated with a most recent transmission of an SRS resource related to the first SRS resource set before the PDCCH, and wherein the second SRI is associated with a most recent transmission of an SRS resource related to the second SRS resource set before the PDCCH.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the applying the first SRI and the second SRI to one or more PUSCH repetitions further comprises: applying the first SRI to one or more PUSCH repetitions associated with the first SRS resource set.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the applying the first SRI and the second SRI to one or more PUSCH repetitions further comprises: applying the second SRI to one or more PUSCH repetitions associated with the second SRS resource set.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first SRS resource set is used for codebook based transmission or non-codebook based transmission, and wherein the second SRS resource set is used for codebook based transmission or non-codebook based transmission.

5 . A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) message including configuration information on a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set and a second SRS resource set; and transmitting, to the UE, downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a first SRS resource indicator (SRI) field and a second SRI field, wherein the first SRI and the second SRI are applied to one or more physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions, wherein the first SRI is associated with a most recent transmission of an SRS resource related to the first SRS resource set before the PDCCH, and wherein the second SRI is associated with a most recent transmission of an SRS resource related to the second SRS resource set before the PDCCH.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the first SRI is applied to one or more PUSCH repetitions associated with the first SRS resource set.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the second SRI is applied to one or more PUSCH repetitions associated with the second SRS resource set.

8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the first SRS resource set is used for codebook based transmission or non-codebook based transmission, and wherein the second SRS resource set is used for codebook based transmission or non-codebook based transmission.

9 . A user equipment (UE) in a communication system, the UE comprising: a transceiver; and a controller configured to: receive, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message including configuration information on a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set and a second SRS resource set; receive, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) on physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a first SRS resource indicator (SRI) field and a second SRI field; and apply the first SRI and the second SRI to one or more physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions, wherein the first SRI is associated with a most recent transmission of an SRS resource related to the first SRS resource set before the PDCCH, and wherein the second SRI is associated with a most recent transmission of an SRS resource related to the second SRS resource set before the PDCCH.

10 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the first SRI is applied to one or more PUSCH repetitions associated with the first SRS resource set.

11 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the second SRI is applied to one or more PUSCH repetitions associated with the second SRS resource set.

12 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the first SRS resource set is used for codebook based transmission or non-codebook based transmission, and wherein the second SRS resource set is used for codebook based transmission or non-codebook based transmission.

13 . A base station (BS) in a communication system, the BS comprising: a transceiver; and a controller configured to: transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) message including configuration information on a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set and a second SRS resource set; and transmit, to the UE, downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) including a first SRS resource indicator (SRI) field and a second SRI field, wherein the first SRI and the second SRI are applied to one or more physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) repetitions, wherein the first SRI is associated with a most recent transmission of an SRS resource related to the first SRS resource set before the PDCCH, and wherein the second SRI is associated with a most recent transmission of an SRS resource related to the second SRS resource set befor the PDCCH.

14 . The BS of claim 13 , wherein the first SRI is applied to one or more PUSCH repetitions associated with the first SRS resource set, and wherein the second SRI is applied to one or more PUSCH repetitions associated with the second SRS resource set.

15 . The BS of claim 13 , wherein the first SRS resource set is used for codebook based transmission or non-codebook based transmission, and wherein the second SRS resource set is used for codebook based transmission or non-codebook based transmission.
