Abstract

A method of a user equipment for transmitting an uplink signal in a wireless communication system is disclosed. The method comprises receiving configuration information related to a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states, and transmitting the uplink signal based on a specific TCI state among the plurality of TCI states. The specific TCI state includes at least one of i) a reference RS used for an uplink transmission or ii) a reference RS commonly used for the uplink transmission and a downlink reception. A transmission power of the uplink signal is determined based on the specific TCI state, and the specific TCI state is related to one or more power control parameters for determining the transmission power of the uplink signal.

Claims (57)

1 . A method comprising:

transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), UE capability information including information related to a maximum number of PathLoss reference RSs (PL RSs);

receiving, by the UE, configuration information related to a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states;

receiving, by the UE, a downlink reference signal (DL RS);

measuring, by the UE, a pathloss based on the DL RS; and

transmitting, by the UE, an uplink signal based on a specific TCI state among the plurality of TCI states,

wherein the specific TCI state is i) an UL TCI state including information related to a reference signal for an UL Tx spatial filter or ii) a joint TCI state including information related to a reference signal for the UL Tx spatial filter and a quasi-colocation (QCL),

wherein the specific TCI state is related to one or more power control parameters among a plurality of power control parameters for determining a transmission power of the uplink signal,

wherein the transmission power of the uplink signal is determined based on the one or more power control parameters and the pathloss,

wherein the DL RS is based on the PL RSs that can be maximally tracked by the UE for the measurement of the pathloss,

wherein the information related to the maximum number of the PL RSs includes information for a maximum number of PL RSs capable of being activated based on a PL RS set configured in relation to the plurality of TCI states.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of power control parameters include P0, alpha, an index of a PL RS and a closed-loop index.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein, among the plurality of power control parameters, i) at least one first power control parameter is configured separately for each of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) and a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), and ii) at least one second power control parameter is configured for the PUSCH, the PUCCH and the SRS,

wherein the at least one first power control parameter includes at least one of the P0, the alpha and/or the closed-loop index, and the at least one second power control parameter includes the index of the PL RS.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the specific TCI state includes the index of the PL RS only.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the closed-loop index is based on one or more closed-loop indexes configured in relation to the plurality of TCI states, and

wherein the one or more closed-loop indexes are different from a closed-loop index configured per type of the uplink signal.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein a number of the one or more closed-loop indexes is determined based on a report of UE capability information representing a number of closed-loop indexes related to the plurality of TCI states.

7 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) including a transmission power control (TPC) command,

wherein the transmission power of the uplink signal is determined based on the one or more power control parameters and the TPC command, and

wherein the TPC command is applied based on the closed-loop index.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmission of the uplink signal is performed based on a plurality of component carriers (CCs), and

wherein the plurality of TCI states are configured for each CC of the plurality of CCs.

9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more power control parameters are applied for power control for a specific CC related to the specific TCI state among the plurality of CCs.

10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more power control parameters are applied for power control for the plurality of CCs.

11 . A user equipment (UE) comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more memories operably connectable to the one or more processors,

wherein the one or more memories are configured to store instructions that allow the one or more processors to perform operations based on being executed by the one or more processors,

wherein the operations comprise:

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), UE capability information including information related to a maximum number of PathLoss reference RSs (PL RSs);

transmitting, to the UE, configuration information related to a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCI) states;
