- PUSCH repeated transmission type B may be a type used to repeatedly transmit a low-delay PUSCH for the UE to satisfy the requirements of URLLC.
- the terminal may receive a symbol (S) from which repeated transmission of the PUSCH starts and the length (L) of the repeatedly transmitted PUSCH through the TDRA field of the DCI transmitted by the base station.

- the fourth nominal PUSCH (nominal#4) is divided into two actually transmitted PUSCHs (actual#5 and actual#6) by the slot boundary.
- the UE finally transmits PUSCHs that are actually transmitted.
- One actual PUSCH must include at least one DMRS symbol. Accordingly, when the PUSCH repeated transmission type B is configured, if the total length of the actual PUSCH is one symbol, the actual PUSCH may be omitted without being transmitted. This is because the actual PUSCH, which is one symbol, cannot include information other than DMRS.

- the UE may repeatedly transmit the long PUCCH on 2, 4, or 8 slots.
- the format of the long PUCCH may be PUCCH formats 1, 3, and 4.

- frequency hopping may be applied to obtain a diversity gain in the frequency domain.
- the UE divides the time domain of the slot for transmitting the PUCCH in half, so that half of the PUCCH may transmit the first PRB, and the other half of the PUCCH may transmit the second PRB.

In this case, if the symbol for PUCCH transmission in the delayed slot does not overlap with the semi-statically configured DL symbol or the symbol configured for reception of the SS/PBCH block, the UE may transmit the PUCCH.
- a problem related to repeated transmission of a PUSCH or PUCCH of a UE for improving coverage performance may be described as a PUSCH or PUCCH coverage problem.
- FIG. 17 illustrates a problem that occurs when a UE repeatedly transmits a PUSCH in a TDD situation according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the 'D' slot is a slot in which all symbols are composed of downlink symbols
- the 'U' slot is a slot in which all symbols are composed of uplink symbols
- the 'S' slot is a 'D' slot and It may be a slot other than the 'U' slot.
- the 'S' slot may include at least one flexible symbol.
- PUSCH repeated transmission type B may be configured in the 'S' slot and the 'U' slot. Even if the base station sets (instructs) that the length of the nominal PUSCH is 6 symbols to the terminal, the length of the actual PUSCH may be 2, 3, or 4 due to slot boundaries and invalid symbols.
- Each repeatedly transmitted actual PUSCH may include one DMRS symbol.
- the length of a data symbol transmitted in the actual PUSCH may be 1, 2, or 3 symbols.
- the UE should use a higher code rate when transmitting a transport block (TB) of the same number of bits. Therefore, even if repeated transmission is set to improve coverage performance, there is a problem in securing a coding gain because a high coding rate is used. That is, simply repeating the PUSCH transmission by the UE according to the repeated PUSCH transmission type B does not solve the coverage problem.
- the PUSCH composed of a small number of symbols must include at least one DMRS symbol, the smaller the number of symbols constituting the actual PUSCH, the larger the DMRS overhead, and thus, the terminal located at the cell-edge Coverage performance for the transmitted uplink channel and signal may be degraded.
- repeated transmission of PUCCH in a TDD situation may be configured on an 'S' slot and a 'U' slot.
- a PUCCH having a total symbol length of 4 may be configured from symbol 10 to symbol 13 in a slot, and a PUCCH having the same position and length may be repeatedly transmitted over two slots. That is, the first repeated PUCCH transmission may be transmitted on symbols 10 to 13 of the first slot, and the second repeated PUCCH transmission may be transmitted on symbols 10 through 3 of the second slot.
- symbols 0 to 9 of the second slot cannot be used for repeated PUCCH transmission. Therefore, when the UL symbols available for repeated PUCCH transmission are limited, a coverage problem may occur. Restricted UL symbols (symbols that cannot be used for repeated PUCCH transmissions) need to be used for repetitive transmission of PUCCH with high reliability.
- a plurality of actual PUSCHs may be combined and transmitted.
- the actual PUSCH may not be actually transmitted, but the PUSCH determined according to a method to be described later may be actually transmitted.
- One or a plurality of actual PUSCHs may be combined to configure combined actual PUSCH(s), and the combined actual PUSCH(s) may be transmitted.

- the preset number of symbols may be 14 .
- actual PUSCH#1 to actual PUSCH#3 may be combined to form combined PUSCH#1, and actual PUSCH#4 and actual PUSCH#5 may be combined to form combined PUSCH#2.
- Actual PUSCH #1 to actual PUSCH #6 are composed of a total of 15 symbols. Accordingly, the second symbol (symbol 13 of the second slot) may be dropped because it exceeds the preset number of symbols of 14 symbols. Therefore, since the first symbol of actual PUSCH#6 (symbol 12 of the second slot) consists of one symbol, it may be dropped according to PUSCH mapping type B. Referring to FIG.
- 20 shows a method in which repeatedly transmitted PUSCHs are combined according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the actual PUSCH may be combined in consideration of the slot boundary.
- the preset number of symbols may be 14. Symbols in which the actual PUSCH consecutive from symbol 10 of the first slot are transmitted may be combined, and in this case, they may be combined based on the slot boundary. That is, actual PUSCH#1 constitutes the combined PUSCH#1, the subsequent actual PUSCH#2 and actual PUSCH#3 constitute the combined PUSCH#2, and the actual PUSCH#4 and actual PUSCH#5 constitute the combined PUSCH# 3 can be configured. Unlike FIG.
- two symbols of actual PUSCH#6 are consecutive symbols, and may be combined to form combined PUSCH#4, and the terminal may also transmit combined PUSCH#4 to the base station.
- the number of symbols constituting the combined PUSCH may be limited.
- the limited number of symbols may be 2 to 14.
- the UE may generate one combined PUSCH by combining the actual PUSCHs of a specific unit, and then transmit the combined PUSCH.
- the specific unit may be at least one of a set of symbols, a slot, or a set of slots. For example, if the specific unit is a slot, actual PUSCHs in the slot may be combined to configure one combined PUSCH.
- the UE may determine a set of symbols and combine actual PUSCHs in the set of symbols to configure one combined PUSCH.
- a set of symbols may be sequentially grouped by N from the first symbol of a slot or 10ms radio frame.
- N may be a divisor of the number of symbols constituting the slot. For example, N may be 7 for a regular CP and 6 for an extended CP.
- the base station may set (indicate) the number of actual PUSCHs constituting the combined PUSCH to the terminal.
- the combined PUSCH may be configured by combining actual PUSCHs according to a set number. For example, when the set number is K, the combined PUSCH may be configured by combining K pieces from the first actual PUSCH.
- the total number of actual PUSCHs is not a multiple of K, any one of the combined PUSCHs may be composed of the number of actual PUSCHs corresponding to the remaining value obtained by dividing the total number of actual PUSCHs by K.
- the actual PUSCH may be indexed according to time order.
- the combined PUSCH may be configured by combining actual PUSCHs corresponding to (or included in) one nominal PUSCH.
- One nominal PUSCH may be divided into one or a plurality of actual PUSCHs due to slot boundaries or invalid symbols.
- a plurality of actual PUSCHs divided from one nominal PUSCH may be combined to configure one combined PUSCH.
- a slot boundary may be considered. That is, only actual PUSCHs in the same slot are combined to form a combined PUSCH. In other words, actual PUSCHs in different slots constitute different combined PUSCHs.
- time continuity may be considered. That is, the combined PUSCH may be configured only with consecutive actual PUSCHs. In this case, successive actual PUSCHs in the time domain included in different slots may be combined to form one combined PUSCH. That is, actual PUSCHs that are discontinuous in the time domain constitute different combined PUSCHs.
- consecutive actual PUSCHs constitute one combined PUSCH in the time domain irrespective of the slot boundary
- the number of symbols constituting the combined PUSCH may be limited. For example, the number of symbols constituting the combined PUSCH may be limited to the maximum number of symbols constituting one slot or may be limited to the number of symbols constituting a slot required for coverage extension.
- the base station may set (indicate) the minimum number of symbols constituting the combined PUSCH to the terminal.
- the base station may determine the minimum number of symbols constituting the combined PUSCH in consideration of at least one of DMRS overhead, TB size, and coding rate. That is, the combined PUSCH may be configured by combining the actual PUSCHs to have a length equal to or greater than the minimum number. For example, if the minimum number is M and the lengths of actual PUSCHs are A1, A2, and A3, respectively, if A1 is smaller than M, the minimum number of symbols constituting the combined PUSCH is not satisfied, so the actual PUSCH of length A1 is It can be combined with the actual PUSCH of length A2 to form a combined PUSCH.
- the combined PUSCH may be configured by combining the actual PUSCH of length A3. In other words, if the length of the actual PUSCH or the length of the combined PUSCH is greater than or equal to M, the additional actual PUSCH may not be combined.
- the base station may set (indicate) the maximum number of symbols constituting the combined PUSCH to the terminal.
- the base station may determine the maximum number of symbols constituting the combined PUSCH in consideration of at least one of DMRS overhead, TB size, and coding rate. In this case, the maximum number may be 14 symbols. That is, the combined PUSCH may be configured by combining the actual PUSCHs to have a length equal to or less than the maximum number.
- the maximum number is M and the lengths of the actual PUSCHs are A1, A2, and A3, respectively, if A1 is less than M but A1+A2 is greater than M, it exceeds the maximum number of symbols, so the actual PUSCH of length A1 is A2 It may not be combined with the actual PUSCH of the length.
- A1+A2 is less than M, since the maximum number of symbols is not exceeded, the actual PUSCH of length A1 may be combined with the actual PUSCH of length A2 to form a combined PUSCH.
- Whether to combine the actual PUSCH of the A3 length may also be determined in the same way. Through this, the length of the combined PUSCH can be maintained below a certain symbol length. In other words, the UE may not transmit the combined PUSCH exceeding a certain length.
- the base station may set (indicate) the minimum length of the actual PUSCH to be coupled to the terminal. For example, in case of repeated PUSCH transmission type B, the actual PUSCH having a length of 1 symbol may not be transmitted and may be dropped or omitted. Accordingly, the dropped or omitted actual PUSCH may be transmitted in combination with other actual PUSCHs. For example, if the minimum length of actual PUSCH is M and the lengths of actual PUSCHs are A1, A2, and A3, the actual PUSCH having a length smaller than M among A1, A2, and A3 is combined with other adjacent actual PUSCHs to form a combined PUSCH. configurable. In this case, the number of actual PUSCHs to be combined may be two.
- the actual PUSCH with a length smaller than the minimum length may be combined with the shorter actual PUSCH among two adjacent actual PUSCHs.
- actual PUSCH#2 of FIG. 17 may be combined with actual PUSCH#3 having a shorter length among actual PUSCH#1 and actual PUSCH#3.

- DMRS overhead can be reduced by combining the actual PUSCH, thereby increasing the data rate.
- the actual PUSCH with a length smaller than the minimum length may be combined with the longer actual PUSCH among two adjacent actual PUSCHs. For example, in FIG.
- actual PUSCH#2 may be combined with actual PUSCH#1, which is longer in length among actual PUSCH#1 and actual PUSCH#3. Since PUSCH can be transmitted in a resource on a longer time domain, it is effective in extending coverage.
- An actual PUSCH of a length smaller than the minimum length may be combined with an actual PUSCH located temporally ahead of two adjacent actual PUSCHs. Since the PUSCH is transmitted for a long time from the earlier time domain resource, coverage is extended and delay is reduced.
- the actual PUSCH having a length smaller than the minimum length may be combined with the actual PUSCH located temporally later among the two adjacent actual PUSCHs. In the case of PUSCH transmission that is not sensitive to delay, the PUSCH can be transmitted on a long time resource, which is advantageous for coverage extension.

- the base station may set the minimum number of symbols per hop for transmitting the combined PUSCH to the terminal.
- the UE may transmit the combined PUSCH through frequency hopping by comparing the number of symbols constituting the combined PUSCH with the minimum number of symbols per hop.

- the first hop may be transmitted on the first PRB(s), and the second hop may be transmitted on the second PRB(s).
- Frequency hopping may be determined based on the number of slots in which the nominal PUSCH is scheduled. If the number of slots in which the nominal PUSCH is scheduled is N PUSCH slots , the number of slots constituting the first hop is floor(N PUSCH slot /2), and the number of slots constituting the second hop is N PUSCH slot - floor(N) PUSCH slot /2).

- the UE may map the additional DMRS to the position of the symbol according to the PUSCH mapping type based on the number of additional DMRSs set by the base station. In this case, the number of additional DMRSs may be set through a higher layer. For example, if the number of additional DMRS symbols is 0, the DMRS is mapped only to the first symbol of each transmission group. If the number of additional DMRS symbols is 1, the first and seventh symbols of combined PUSCH#1, the first and fifth symbols of combined PUSCH#2, and the first symbol of combined PUSCH#3 may be DMRS symbols.
- the first symbol, fourth symbol, and seventh symbol of combined PUSCH#1, the first and fifth symbols of combined PUSCH#2, and the first symbol of combined PUSCH#3 may be DMRS symbols. If the number of additional DMRS symbols is 3, the first, fourth, and seventh symbols of combined PUSCH#1, the first and fifth symbols of combined PUSCH#2, and the first symbol of combined PUSCH#3 may be DMRS symbols. Meanwhile, a PUSCH having a length of 1 in the time domain may not be transmitted. Referring to FIG. 27( b ), when repeated transmission of PUSCH through frequency hopping is configured, the number of symbols constituting one hop (transmission group) may be up to seven. Accordingly, the position of the DMRS symbol may be determined regardless of whether frequency hopping is configured. That is, the DMRS symbol may be located in the same way as in the case where frequency hopping is not configured (refer to FIG. 27(a)).
- the format of PUCCH used for repeated transmission of PUCCH which will be described below, may be PUCCH formats 1, 3, and 4 composed of four or more symbols.

- actual#n means actual PUCCH of index n
- virtual#n means virtual PUCCH of index n.
- PUCCH may be repeatedly transmitted irrespective of slot boundaries. That is, the PUCCH may be repeatedly transmitted on a plurality of slots instead of one slot. In other words, the PUCCH may be repeatedly transmitted with symbols including the slot boundary.
- the UE may determine the time domain (interval) in which the nominal PUCCH is transmitted based on the number of PUCCH symbols configured by the base station and the number of repeated PUCCH transmissions.
- the determined nominal PUCCH may be divided into actual PUCCHs based on slot boundaries, DL symbols, and invalid symbols.

- the actual PUCCH may consist of less than 4 symbols. Therefore, the UE must generate a combined PUCCH having a minimum length of 4 symbols by combining each actual PUCCH. This is because the PUCCH format used for repeated transmission of the PUCCH must consist of 4 to 14 symbols.
- the first actual PUCCH and the second actual PUCCH may be combined.
- adjacent means continuous, and means a case in which a symbol does not exist between the first actual PUCCH and the second actual PUCCH.
- actual PUCCH#2 and actual PUCCH#3 are adjacent to each other. Since there are two invalid symbols (symbols 4 and 5 in the second slot) between actual PUCCH#3 and actual PUCCH#4, actual PUCCH#3 and actual PUCCH#4 are not adjacent. There may be two adjacent actual PUCCHs. Referring to FIG. 28 , actual PUCCH#2 is adjacent to actual PUCCH#1 and actual PUCCH#3. Accordingly, the UE may select one PUCCH to be combined among two adjacent actual PUCCHs.
- the shorter actual PUCCH may be selected among the two adjacent actual PUCCHs.
- actual PUCCH#2 may be combined with actual PUCCH#3 having a shorter length among actual PUCCH#1 and actual PUCCH#3.

- a temporally subsequent actual PUCCH among two adjacent actual PUCCHs may be selected. Referring to FIG.
- actual PUCCH#2 may be combined with actual PUCCH#3 that follows temporally among actual PUCCH#1 and actual PUCCH#3.

- the PUCCH consisting of 15 symbols may have a structure in which DMRS is additionally mapped to a symbol consecutive to the first symbol in addition to one symbol to which DMRS is mapped in the existing PUCCH format 1.
- the PUCCH consisting of 16 symbols may have a structure in which one symbol of DMRS and one more symbol for UCI transmission are added to the existing PUCCH format 1.
- the position of the symbol to which the DMRS is mapped may be determined according to the increased number of symbols. For example, when 1 to 3 symbols are increased, the increased symbols may be configured by being mapped in the order of UCI symbols, DMRS symbols, and UCI symbols.
- the extended symbol when 1 symbol is increased, the extended symbol is a UCI symbol, when 2 symbols are increased, the extended symbol is a UCI symbol, a DMRS symbol, and when 3 symbols are increased, the extended symbol is a UCI symbol, a DMRS symbol, or a UCI symbol have.

- - max code rate The maximum code rate that PUCCH can transmit. The UE cannot transmit the PUCCH including the UCI exceeding the maximum code rate.
- the UE must determine the number of PRBs to be used in the PUCCH format for transmitting the PUCCH.
- the UE may determine the number of bits (O bits) of UCI included in the PUCCH.

- the base station may receive UCI transmitted in PUCCH0 and PUCCH1 through joint channel estimation.
- PUCCH0 and PUCCH1 may each include the same UCI.
- the length of the resource through which PUCCH0 is transmitted and the length of the resource through which PUCCH1 is transmitted may be different.
- PUCCH0 may be transmitted on 4 symbols
- PUCCH1 may be transmitted on 11 symbols. Since the lengths of resources in which PUCCH 0 and PUCCH 1 are transmitted are different from each other, the number of PRBs occupied by PUCCH0 and PUCCH1 may be different from each other. For example, PUCCH0 transmitted on 4 symbols may occupy a larger number of PRBs than PUCCH1 transmitted on 11 symbols.
- the number of PRBs may be determined by the method described above. In overlapping PRBs among PRBs occupied by PUCCH0 and PUCCH1, channel estimation may be possible by combining DMRS. However, since DMRS for PUCCH1 is not transmitted in non-overlapping PRBs, joint channel estimation may not be possible. Accordingly, the base station may perform different channel estimation according to the PRBs, and an error may occur in the channel estimation value. Hereinafter, a method for overcoming this error will be described. In addition, the method to be described later may not be applied when the PUCCH is repeatedly transmitted through frequency hopping.

- the starting PRB index of the repeatedly transmitted PUCCH is determined as the starting PRB index of the first transmitted PUCCH, joint channel estimation is possible for PRBs corresponding to the low frequency domain, but for PRBs corresponding to the high frequency domain, There is a problem in that joint channel estimation is impossible.
- the last PRB index of each repeatedly transmitted PUCCH may be the same as the last PRB index of the first repeatedly transmitted PUCCH.

Since the resource in which PUCCH1 is transmitted starting from S1 may cross the boundary of an active UL BWP (active UL BWP), S1 may be limited to a value in which the last PRB index of PUCCH 1 is located within the active UL BWP.
- S1 may be calculated as min ⁇ N RB -M1, S0 + f((M0-M1)/2) ⁇ .
- N RB may be the number of PRBs included in the active UL BWP.

- the number of PRBs corresponding to each PUCCH that is repeatedly transmitted may be the same.
- the same PRB as the number of PRBs configured in the first repeatedly transmitted PUCCH may be configured in the remaining repeated transmission PUCCHs. That is, the number of PRBs allocated to the repeatedly transmitted PUCCH may be determined based on the number of symbols set in the first repeatedly transmitted PUCCH. In this case, the determined number of PRBs may be independent of the number of symbols allocated to each of the repeatedly transmitted PUCCHs. Referring to FIG. 38 , the number of PRBs allocated to PUCCH0 may be determined based on four symbols used for PUCCH0 transmission. The number of PRBs equal to the number of PRBs allocated to PUCCH0 may be allocated to PUCCH1.
- the number of PRBs since the number of PRBs is determined in consideration of the maximum coding rate for PUCCH0, it may not be suitable for the maximum coding rate for PUCCH1. For example, when the number of symbols allocated to the first repeatedly transmitted PUCCH in time is large, the maximum code rate may be satisfied even if the number of PRBs is small. Therefore, if the number of symbols of the PUCCH repeatedly transmitted after the first repeated transmission is small, the maximum code rate may not be satisfied.

- BPRE (i) (O ACK (i) + O SR (i) + O CSI (i) + O CRC (i)) / N RE (i) of Equation 9 may be, O ACK (i) + O SR (i) + O CSI (i) + O CRC (i) may be the number of bits of UCI transmitted by the PUCCH, where N RE (i), which means the number of REs, is to be calculated as in Equation 10.
- N RE may be a value proportional to N symb-UCI . That is, when the number of symbols transmitted for each repeatedly transmitted PUCCH is different, the transmission power may be determined differently. The transmission power of the PUCCH may be determined according to the number of symbols in which the PUCCH is transmitted. Accordingly, there is a need for a method of determining the same transmit power for joint channel estimation of DMRS included in each PUCCH when the number of symbols transmitted in each PUCCH repeatedly transmitted is different.
- the UE may calculate the transmission power of the first repeatedly transmitted PUCCH.
- the number of symbols and the number of PRBs of the PUCCH that are first repeatedly transmitted may be used. That is, when the format of the PUCCH is PUCCH formats 0 and 1, may be the number of symbols of the first repeatedly transmitted PUCCH.

- a 1-bit frequency hopping flag may exist in DCI for scheduling PUSCH.
- the UE may check whether to perform frequency hopping from the frequency hopping flag.
- the frequency hopping flag may indicate to the terminal whether to perform inter-slot hopping. However, if the number of repeated PUSCH transmissions is 1, the UE may transmit the PUSCH in only one slot. That is, inter-slot hopping is not performed regardless of the frequency hopping flag. In other words, when inter-slot hopping is configured, if the number of repeated PUSCH transmissions is 1, whether to perform inter-repeat hopping may be determined according to the bit value of the frequency hopping flag.
- the frequency hopping flag may indicate to the terminal whether to perform inter-slot hopping.

- the frequency hopping flag may indicate whether to perform inter-repetition hopping. However, if the number of repeated PUSCH transmissions is 1, the UE may transmit only the repeated nominal PUSCH. Since inter-repeat hopping is performed based on a repeated name PUSCH, if the number of repeated PUSCH transmissions is 1, inter-repeated hopping is not performed regardless of the value of the frequency hopping flag. That is, if the number of repeated PUSCH transmissions is 1, whether to perform inter-slot hopping may be determined according to the value of the frequency hopping flag.
- frequency hopping may be used to obtain a diversity gain in the frequency domain.
- uplink transmission may be performed in a maximum of 2 hops.

Based on the index of the start symbol and the number of consecutive symbols, the terminal may determine the number of symbols of the first hop and the number of symbols of the second hop.
- the number of symbols in the first hop may be floor(N/2) and the number of symbols in the second hop may be N-floor(N/2). That is, the first hop is composed of floor (N/2) consecutive symbols from the symbol indicated by the index of the start symbol, and the second hop is N-floor (N/2) after the last symbol of the first hop. It may consist of consecutive symbols.
- the UE may configure more hops than two hops to perform uplink transmission in order to obtain a higher frequency domain diversity. In detail, a method for the UE to determine four hops when intra-slot hopping is configured will be described below.

- the first hop of the first uplink channel may be composed of 7 symbols from the first symbol, and the second hop may be composed of the remaining 7 symbols. That is, the boundary between the first hop and the second hop of the first uplink channel may be between the 7th symbol and the 8th symbol of the slot. In other words, the boundary between the first hop and the second hop of the first uplink channel may be a time point at which the 7th symbol ends and a time point at which the 8th symbol starts.
- the first hop of the second uplink channel consists of three symbols from the first symbol, the second hop is the next 4 symbols, the third hop is the next 3 symbols, and the fourth hop is the next 4 symbols.

In this case, if there is a hop overlapping the symbol to which the DMRS is to be mapped, the PUSCH may be transmitted by mapping the DMRS in the corresponding hop. That is, the DMRS may be mapped to the same position as the symbol to which the existing DMRS should be mapped within the overlapping hops.
- a position of a symbol to which a DMRS is mapped in a hop that does not overlap a symbol to which the DMRS is to be transmitted may be determined as in PUSCH mapping type B. That is, in a hop that does not overlap a symbol to which the DMRS is mapped, the DMRS may be mapped to the first symbol.
- the mapping type is PUSCH mapping type A
- the DMRS is mapped in the fourth symbol through the PBCH.
- the number of symbols in the first hop may be 3 . Accordingly, since the fourth symbol does not exist in the first hop, DMRS is not mapped.

- the method ii) is effective in terms of multiplexing between two uplink channels having the same length starting from the same symbol.
- Method ii) is also effective in terms of multiplexing between two uplink channels having different lengths starting from different symbols. For example, there may be a first uplink channel having a length of 5 starting from the third symbol of the slot and a second uplink channel having a length of 9 starting from the first symbol of the slot. In this case, the first uplink channel may be transmitted in two hops and the second uplink channel may be transmitted in four hops.

- PUCCHs configured in consecutive slots, slot n+5 and slot n+6 may be transmitted in different hops.
- FIGS. 51 and 52 even in the case of PUCCH configured in consecutive slots, repeated transmission slot indexes are set differently and transmitted in different hops. Therefore, DMRS included in PUCCH configured in consecutive slots cannot be used for joint channel estimation. .
- a method for using DRMS included in PUCCH configured in consecutive slots for joint channel estimation will be described.
- the UE may set the slots capable of joint channel estimation among a specific number of slots capable of transmitting the repeatedly transmitted PUCCH to the same repeated transmission slot index.

- the base station sets the period to 2 ms and the offset to 0 ms when N is 4 in a cell having a subcarrier interval of 15 kHz to the terminal, and sets the period to 4 ms and the offset to 0 ms when N is 8.

- the terminal may set the time domain interval #0 based on X1 slots or X1 symbols or X1 repetitions from the start of the time domain interval, and time domain based on X2 slots or X2 symbols or X2 repetitions Section #1 can be set. That is, a plurality of time domain sections having different lengths may be set.
- the values of X1 and X2 may be values set by the base station to the terminal.
- the base station does not explicitly indicate which time domain the values X1 and X2 are information about, and the terminal can infer. That is, X1 may correspond to period P1, and X2 may correspond to period P2.
- Each of the first pattern and the second pattern may be a time domain section. Therefore, the DMRS included in the slot constituting the first pattern may be used for joint channel estimation, and the DMRS included in the slot constituting the second pattern. can be used for joint channel estimation.
- the UE may determine the time domain interval without receiving explicit information on the time domain interval from the base station. That is, when the terminal does not receive explicit information on the time domain section from the base station, the terminal may implicitly determine the specific section as the time domain section.
- the UE may implicitly determine the time domain interval based on the number of repeated transmissions of the PUCCH or PUSCH. That is, the UE may determine a time domain interval from a time point at which repeated transmission of PUCCH or PUSCH starts to a time point at which repetitive transmission ends. In other words, since the repeatedly transmitted PUCCH or PUSCH is transmitted within the same time domain, the DMRS included in the PUCCH or PUSCH at this time may be used for joint channel estimation.
- the UE may implicitly determine the time domain interval based on the slot configuration. That is, the terminal may determine the time domain interval according to the slot configuration in the unpaired spectrum.
- the UE may implicitly determine the time domain interval based on consecutive uplink slots.
- the UE may implicitly determine the time domain interval based on consecutive non-downlink slots.
- One or more slots or symbols may be included between resource regions (eg, slots) in which repeated transmission of the uplink channel is configured. Specifically, one or more slots or symbols may be included between a resource region in which a first PUSCH/PUCCH to be repeatedly transmitted is configured and a resource region in which a second PUSCH/PUCCH to be repeatedly transmitted is configured. In this case, one or more slots or symbols may be up to X slots or symbols. In this case, X may be a value set by the base station.
- One or more slots or symbols may be resources not used for uplink channel transmission. That is, a certain interval (gap) may exist between resource regions in which an uplink channel to be repeatedly transmitted is set. In other words, the time domain interval may be determined based on a predetermined interval existing between resource domains in which an uplink channel to be repeatedly transmitted is configured.
- one time domain section may be divided into a plurality of sub time domain sections.
- the DMRS included in PUSCH or PUCCH transmitted on the sub-time domain can be used for joint channel estimation.
- One time domain section may be divided based on the length of the sub time domain section.
- the base station may transmit length information for the sub-time domain section to the terminal, and the terminal may divide the time domain section into a plurality of sub-time domain sections based on the received length information.
- the length information may be at least one of the number of slots, the number of symbols, and the number of repeated transmissions of the uplink channel.
- the UE starts with M from the first slot/symbol/repeat
- the th slot/symbol/repetition may be bundled to determine the first sub-time domain interval.
- the UE may determine the second sub-time domain by bundling the M+1th slot/symbol/repetition to the 2Mth slot/symbol/repetition.
- the slot/symbol/repetition included in the last sub-time domain may be smaller than M.
- the UE may determine the M-th sub-time domain section by bundling the remaining (N-th) slots/repetitions/symbols from the k*M+1-th slot/symbol/repetition.
- the number of slot/symbol repetitions included in the M-th sub-time domain section may be smaller than M.
- k may be calculated as floor(N/M).
- the time domain interval may be divided based on the number of sub time domain intervals. That is, the terminal receives information on the number of sub-time-domain sections from the base station, and the terminal can divide the time-domain sections by the number of sub-time domain sections. For example, if the time domain section is N (N slots/symbols/repetitions) and the number of sub-time domain sections is M, the number of slots/symbols/repetitions included in one sub-time domain is ceil (N/M ) or floor (N/M).
- N mod M sub-time domain sections include ceil (N/M) slots/symbols/repetitions
- M - (N mod M) sub-time domain sections include floor (N/M) slots/symbols. May contain /repeat.
- N/M the number of slots/symbols/repetitions included in M-1 sub-time domain sections
- N-( It may be M-1)*floors(N/M) is N-( It may be M-1)*floors(N/M).
- a mod B means the remainder of dividing A by B.
- the terminal determines the time domain section based on the successive uplink slots, it can be determined which time domain section the uplink slot is included in. In this case, it is necessary to determine in which time domain a slot, which is not an uplink slot, but capable of uplink transmission is included in. Specifically, it is necessary to determine which time domain interval the non-downlink slot is included in.
- the non-downlink slot may be included in a time domain interval of an adjacent uplink slot. For example, if slot n is a non-downlink slot and slot n+1 is an uplink slot, slot n may be included in a time domain section including slot n+1.
- various subcarrier intervals may be set, and symbols/slots/repetitions for determining the above-described (sub) time domain interval may vary according to subcarrier intervals. Therefore, the subcarrier interval for determining the (sub) time domain interval needs to be determined, and in this specification, the subcarrier interval that can be referred to for determining the time domain interval is described as a reference subcarrier interval.
- the base station may set information on the subcarrier interval together when configuring TDD to the terminal. That is, the terminal may use the subcarrier interval set together when the base station sets up the TDD as a reference subcarrier interval that can be referenced to determine the time domain interval.
- subcarrier intervals of one or a plurality of UL BWPs may be set.
- the UE may use one value among one or a plurality of subcarrier intervals as the reference subcarrier interval. For example, when a plurality of subcarrier intervals are set, the smallest subcarrier interval may be the reference subcarrier interval.
- the UE may use the subcarrier interval of the activated UL BWP as the reference subcarrier interval.
- the UE may use any subcarrier interval as the reference subcarrier interval.
- An arbitrary subcarrier interval may be determined differently for each frequency range (FR).
- Any subcarrier spacing may be a value of one of the available subcarrier spacings in each FR, and may be the lowest subcarrier spacing. For example, in the case of FR1, since 15 kHz, 30 kHz, and 60 kHz are possible as the subcarrier spacing, the reference subcarrier spacing may be 15 KHz. In the case of FR2, since 60 kHz and 120 kHz are possible as the subcarrier spacing, the reference subcarrier spacing may be 60 KHz.

- the reference subcarrier interval may not be greater than the subcarrier interval set in the UL BWP.
- the terminal may transmit information on the start time or end time of the time domain section to the base station.
- the terminal may inform the base station of information on the start or end time of the time domain section as a 1-bit value.
- a time point at which PUCCH or PUSCH starts may be indicated as '0', and a period other than the start time point may be indicated as '1'.
- the PUCCH or PUSCH transmitted in slot n indicates '0' as a 1-bit value
- the slot n+1 , PUCCH or PUSCH transmitted in slot n+2 and slot n+3 may indicate '1' as a 1-bit value.
- the indicated value '0' or '1' may be indicated as being interchangeable.
- a value of 1 bit may be multiplexed to PUSCH and may be multiplexed to PUSCH in the same manner as HARQ-ACK.
- the UE may transmit information about the time domain interval to the base station through toggling when the time domain interval is changed. For example, if the UE transmits a 1-bit value of PUSCH or PUCCH transmitted in the first time domain interval as '0', the UE transmits a 1-bit value of PUSCH or PUCCH transmitted in the second time domain interval as '1'. can
- 63 to 66 show a method of indicating a time domain section according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the terminal may transmit information about the time domain to the base station using the terminal's arbitrary interpretation method i). For example, the terminal may inform the base station of slots 0 to 3 as one time domain and slots 4 to 5 as another time domain. In this case, when the base station fails to receive the PUCCH or PUSCH of slots 3 and 4, the base station may determine slots 0 to 5 as one time domain period, and perform joint channel estimation. Referring to FIG. 63( a ), the terminal may transmit information about the time domain to the base station using the terminal's arbitrary interpretation method i). For example, the terminal may inform the base station of slots 0 to 3 as one time domain and slots 4 to 5 as another time domain. In this case, when the base station fails to receive the PUCCH or PUSCH of slots 3 and 4, the base station may determine slots 0 to 5 as one time domain period, and perform joint channel estimation. Referring to FIG.
- the terminal may transmit information about the time domain to the base station using the terminal's arbitrary interpretation method ii). For example, the terminal informs the base station of slots 0 to 2 as one time domain, slots 3 to 4 as another time domain, and slot 5 as another time domain. can At this time, if the base station fails to receive the PUCCH or PUSCH of slots 3 and 4, the base station may determine the slots 0 to 5 as one time domain period to perform joint channel estimation. In this case, since the PUCCH or PUSCH transmitted by the terminal does not satisfy the joint channel estimation condition, the base station may fail in channel estimation, and thus the coverage performance may not be improved. Therefore, there is a need for a method for reducing ambiguity about the time domain interval between the terminal and the base station.
- the terminal may transmit a counter indicator as information about the time domain to the base station. That is, the terminal may transmit information on the number of symbol sets within one time domain to the base station.
- the symbol set may include repeated transmission of slots, symbols, and uplink channels.
- the UE can estimate a joint channel through uplink DMRS transmitted in slots 0 to 3, and joint channel estimation is possible through uplink DMRS transmitted in slots 4 to 5. may indicate to the base station.
- a start slot in which joint channel estimation is possible may be indicated as 0 through the counter indicator, and subsequent slots may be indicated by counter values of 1, 2, ... 3 in ascending order. Referring to FIG.
- the terminal may indicate a start slot in which joint channel estimation is possible as 0 through the counter indicator, and subsequent slots may be indicated by the counter value in an ascending order. Therefore, even when the base station fails to decode the uplink transmissions of slots 3 and 4 in FIGS. 64(a) and 64(b), the uplink transmissions of slots 2 and 5 through the counter indicator are joint channel estimation with each other. It can be seen that this is impossible. This is because the counter indicator value of slot 2 and the counter indicator value of slot 5 do not satisfy the ascending order.
- the terminal may transmit information on the total indicator in addition to the counter indicator as information for joint channel estimation to the base station.
- the entire indicator may indicate a symbol set included in one time interval region.
- a symbol set may include slots, symbols, and repeated transmission.
- FIG. 65(b) there may be a case in which the base station fails to receive uplink channels transmitted in slots 2 and 3.
- ambiguity may occur between the base station and the terminal in the time domain. Therefore, the UE can reduce ambiguity about the time domain section by notifying the base station of the total indicator in addition to the counter indicator.
- a is a value indicated by a counter indicator
- b is a value indicated by an overall indicator. That is, in slot 0, the counter indicator indicates 0, and the value indicated by all indicators is 2. Since slot 0 and slot 1 are one time domain window composed of two symbol sets, the values of all indicators of slot 0 and slot 1 are the same.
- the terminal may transmit information on the index of the time domain interval to the base station.
- One time domain section is set with the same index and another time domain section has sequentially increased indexes set, so that the terminal can inform the base station that they are different time domain sections.
- the UE may inform the base station of uplink channel transmission within the same time domain through the same index, and may inform the base station of uplink channel transmission within another time domain through the increased index. This has the effect that, when the base station fails to receive the uplink channels transmitted in slots 3 and 4 described with reference to FIG. 66(b), the base station recognizes this and requests retransmission of the uplink channel from the terminal. That is, since the indexes of slots 0 to 2 and the indexes of slot 5 are different, the base station can recognize that slots 0 to slot 2 and slot 5 are included in different time domain sections.

- the base station may set different subcarrier intervals for a plurality of uplink cells.
- the subcarrier spacing may be a subcarrier spacing for a TDD configuration or a subcarrier spacing for a BWP configuration.
- the boundary of the time domain configuration determined based on the PCell may not be accurately set.
- the subcarrier interval for the TDD configuration may be set to 30 KHz in cell#0 and 15 kHz in cell#1.
- the time domain interval for joint channel estimation is determined based on cell#0, and may be set every 5 slots or every 2.5 ms from the first slot in the radio frame. In this case, the same time domain section may be applied to cell#1 as well. However, the boundary of the time domain section may be located in the third uplink slot of cell#1. Accordingly, some symbols of the third uplink slot of cell #1 may be included in the first time domain interval and the remaining symbols may be included in the second time domain interval. That is, when the subcarrier spacing for the TDD configuration of the SCell is smaller than the subcarrier spacing for the TDD configuration of the PCell, the time domain interval may not be suitable. Accordingly, there is a need for a time domain interval that can be suitably applied to all uplink cells in a carrier aggregation situation.

A time domain window #0 and a time domain window #1 may be set for each of cell#0 and cell#1. Time domain window #0 may be configured with two slots of 1 ms, and time domain window #1 may be configured with two slots of 2 ms. In this case, in order to reduce signaling overhead, when the base station sets a time domain section for each cell, a specific parameter commonly applied to each cell may be used.
- a common reference subcarrier interval may be used for each cell. That is, the base station may set only the reference subcarrier interval for one time domain interval to the terminal. Alternatively, the UE may implicitly infer the reference subcarrier interval for one time domain interval. In this case, the reference subcarrier interval may be applied to all cells. The UE may obtain a subcarrier interval for the time domain window of each cell. For example, the UE may select any one subcarrier interval among the obtained subcarrier intervals of each cell and apply the selected one subcarrier interval to the time domain interval of all cells.
