Abstract

Claims (37)

1 . A method of transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information related to a PUCCH resource set of the PUCCH;

determining a PUCCH resource for transmitting the PUCCH using frequency hopping based on the information; and

transmitting the PUCCH through the PUCCH resource,

wherein the PUCCH resource includes a first physical resource block (PRB) in a first hop and a second PRB in a second hop; and

wherein a first hopping distance between the first PRB and the second PRB, based on the information informing of a first PUCCH resource set, is equal to a second hoping distance between the first PRB and the second PRB based on the information informing of a second PUCCH resource set.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first PRB has a lowest index among a plurality of PRBs for the PUCCH in the first hop; and

wherein the second PRB has a lowest index or a highest index among a plurality of PRBs for the PUCCH in the second hop.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein, in the first hop, the PUCCH resource is determined as many as PRBs for the PUCCH from the first PRB in a high frequency direction; and

wherein, in the second hop, the PUCCH resource is determined as many as the PRBs from the second PRB in a high frequency direction, or the PUCCH resource is determined as many as the PRBs from the second PRB in a low frequency direction.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein an interval between a PRB with a highest index in the second hop and the second PRB based on the first PUCCH resource set is a value obtained by multiplying a PRB offset value related to the second PUCCH resource set by a number of PRBs for the PUCCH.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first hop is a lower hop and the second hop is an upper hop.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein total numbers of cyclic shift (CS) values corresponding to the first PUCCH resource set and the second PUCCH resource set are equal to each other.

7 . A user equipment (UE) for transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operatively connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions that when executed causes the at least one processor to perform operations including:

receiving information related to a PUCCH resource set of the PUCCH through the at least one transceiver,

determining a PUCCH resource for transmitting the PUCCH using frequency hopping based on the information; and

transmitting the PUCCH through the PUCCH resource through the at least one transceiver,

wherein the PUCCH resource includes a first physical resource block (PRB) in a first hop and a second PRB in a second hop; and

wherein a first hopping distance between the first PRB and the second PRB, based on the information informing of a first PUCCH resource set, is equal to a second hoping distance between the first PRB and the second PRB based on the information informing of a second PUCCH resource set.

8 . The UE of claim 7 , wherein the first PRB has a lowest index among a plurality of PRBs for the PUCCH in the first hop; and

wherein the second PRB has a lowest index or a highest index among a plurality of PRBs for the PUCCH in the second hop.

9 . The UE of claim 8 , wherein, in the first hop, the PUCCH resource is determined as many as PRBs for the PUCCH from the first PRB in a high frequency direction; and

wherein, in the second hop, the PUCCH resource is determined as many as the PRBs from the second PRB in a high frequency direction, or the PUCCH resource is determined as many as the PRBs from the second PRB in a low frequency direction.

10 . The UE of claim 7 , wherein an interval between a PRB with a highest index in the second hop and the second PRB based on the first PUCCH resource set is a value obtained by multiplying a PRB offset value related to the second PUCCH resource set by a number of PRBs for the PUCCH.

11 . The UE of claim 7 , wherein the first hop is a lower hop and the second hop is an upper hop.

12 . The UE of claim 7 , wherein total numbers of cyclic shift (CS) values corresponding to the first PUCCH resource set and the second PUCCH resource set are equal to each other.

13 . A base station (BS) for receiving a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operatively connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions that when executed causes the at least one processor to perform operations including:

transmitting information related to a PUCCH resource set of the PUCCH through the at least one transceiver;

receiving the PUCCH through a PUCCH resource determined using frequency hopping, based on the information through the at least one transceiver,

wherein the PUCCH resource includes a first physical resource block (PRB) in a first hop and a second PRB in a second hop; and

wherein a first hopping distance between the first PRB and the second PRB, based on the information informing of a first PUCCH resource set, is equal to a second hoping distance between the first PRB and the second PRB based on the information informing of a second PUCCH resource set.
