Abstract

A method for transmitting Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) performed by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system may include receive downlink control information (DCI) for uplink (UL) transmission scheduling; and performing codebook based PUSCH transmission based on precoding information included in the DCI.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for codebook-based transmission of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH, in a wireless communication system, the method performed in a User Equipment (UE) comprising:
receiving, from a network node, configuration information, wherein the configuration information includes i) rank restriction information related to subset restriction of a codebook for PUSCH transmission and ii) waveform information on which waveform to be used for PUSCH transmission;
receiving, from the network node, downlink control information (DCI) for PUSCH transmission, wherein the DCI includes a bit field for indicating rank information and precoding matrix information;
and
performing the codebook-based transmission of the PUSCH using a precoder,
wherein the precoder is selected from a subset of the codebook based on the bit field of the DCI, and
wherein the subset of the codebook is determined based on the rank restriction information and the waveform information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the PUSCH being transmitted using four antenna ports, the codebook comprise:
a first group including non-coherent precoding matrices for selecting only one port for each layer, wherein the non-coherent precoding matrices have one non-zero value in each column,
a second group including partial-coherent precoding matrices for selecting two ports in at least one layer, wherein the partial-coherent precoding matrices have two non-zero values in each column, and
a third group including full-coherence precoding matrices for selecting all ports for each of the layers, wherein the full-coherence precoding matrices have only non-zero values.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein Cyclic Prefix Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, CP-OFDM, waveform is configured to be used based on the waveform information and the codebook is a codebook based on the CP-PFDM waveform.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a Transmitted Precoding Matrix Indicator, TPMI, which is information of an index of the precoder selected for the PUSCH transmission is determined based on the bit field of the DCI.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the TPMI is joint-encoded with a Rank Indicator, RI, which is information of a number of layers used in the PUSCH transmission.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the TPMI and the RI are commonly indicated for all Sounding Reference Signal, SRS, resources configured to the UE ( 1820 ).

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the TPMI and the RI are indicated for each SRS resource configured to the UE.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein a size of a predefined Demodulation Reference Signal, DMRS, field in the DCI is determined differently according to the RI joint-encoded with the TPMI.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein a size of a field in which TPMI and RI are joint-encoded is decided based on the rank restriction information.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, to a network node, UE capability including coherence capability of the UE for the PUSCH transmission, prior to receiving the configuration information, wherein the coherence capability indicates one of (i) full coherent, (ii) partial coherent and (iii) non-coherent.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the configuration information further includes codebook subset information based on the coherence capability of the UE.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the subset of the codebook is determined based on the rank restriction information, the waveform information and the codebook subset information.

13. A User Equipment (UE) for codebook-based transmission of a Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH, in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a radio frequency, RF, transceiver for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and
a processor ( 1821 ) for controlling the RF transceiver,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive, from a network node, configuration information for a codebook, wherein the configuration information includes i) rank restriction information related to subset restriction of a codebook for PUSCH transmission and ii) waveform information on which waveform to be used for PUSCH transmission;
receive, from the network node, downlink control information (DCI) for PUSCH transmission, wherein the DCI includes a bit field for indicating rank information and precoding matrix information;
and
perform the codebook-based transmission of the PUSCH using a precoder,
wherein the precoder is selected from a subset of the codebook based on the bit field of the DCI, and
wherein the subset of the codebook is determined based on the rank restriction information and the waveform information.

14. A device comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors functionally connected to the one or more memories,
wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive, from a network node, configuration information for a codebook, wherein the configuration information includes i) rank restriction information related to subset restriction of a codebook for PUSCH transmission and ii) waveform information on which waveform to be used for PUSCH transmission;
receive, from the network node, downlink control information, DCI, for PUSCH transmission, wherein the DCI includes a bit field for indicating rank information and precoding matrix information;
and
perform the codebook-based transmission of the PUSCH using a precoder,
wherein the precoder is selected from a subset of the codebook based on the bit field of the DCI, and
wherein the subset of the codebook is determined based on the rank restriction information and the waveform information.
