Hereinafter, some embodiments will be described in detail with reference to exemplary drawings. It should be noted that, in adding reference numerals to the constituent elements of the drawings, the same constituent elements are denoted by the same reference symbols as possible even if they are shown in different drawings. In the following description of the embodiments of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present disclosure rather unclear.

The present invention will be described with reference to a communication network. The work performed in the communication network may be performed in a process of controlling the network and transmitting data by a system (e.g., a base station) that manages the communication network, The work can be done.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a wireless communication system to which the present invention is applied.

Referring to FIG. 1, a wireless communication system 10 is widely deployed to provide various communication services such as voice, packet data, and the like. The wireless communication system 10 includes at least one base station 11 (BS). Each base station 11 provides communication services for a particular geographical area or frequency domain and may be referred to as a site. A site may be divided into a plurality of areas 15a, 15b, and 15c, which may be referred to as sectors, and the sectors may have different cell IDs.

A user equipment (UE) 12 may be fixed or mobile and may be a mobile station (MS), a mobile terminal (MT), a user terminal (UT), a subscriber station (SS), a wireless device, (personal digital assistant), a wireless modem, a handheld device, and the like. The base station 11 generally refers to a station that communicates with the terminal 12 and includes an evolved-NodeB (eNodeB), a base transceiver system (BTS), an access point, a femto base station (Femto eNodeB) (ENodeB), a relay, a remote radio head (RRH), and the like. The cells 15a, 15b and 15c should be interpreted in a comprehensive sense to indicate a partial area covered by the base station 11 and include all coverage areas such as megacell, macrocell, microcell, picocell, femtocell to be.

Hereinafter, a downlink refers to a communication or communication path from the base station 11 to the terminal 12, and an uplink refers to a communication or communication path from the terminal 12 to the base station 11 . In the downlink, the transmitter may be part of the base station 11, and the receiver may be part of the terminal 12. In the uplink, the transmitter may be part of the terminal 12, and the receiver may be part of the base station 11. There is no limit to the multiple access scheme applied to the wireless communication system 10. [ (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single Carrier-FDMA , OFDM-CDMA, and the like. These modulation techniques increase the capacity of the communication system by demodulating signals received from multiple users of the communication system. The uplink transmission and the downlink transmission may be performed using a time division duplex (TDD) scheme transmitted at different times or a frequency division duplex (FDD) scheme using different frequencies.

The layers of the radio interface protocol between the terminal and the base station are divided into a first layer (L1), a second layer (L1), and a second layer (L2) based on the lower three layers of an Open System Interconnection A second layer (L2), and a third layer (L3). Among them, the physical layer belonging to the first layer provides an information transfer service using a physical channel.

There are several physical channels used in the physical layer. The physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) includes a resource allocation and transmission format of a downlink shared channel (DL-SCH), a resource of an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) Resource allocation of an upper layer control message such as allocation information, a random access response transmitted on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), transmission power control for individual terminals in an arbitrary terminal group : TPC) commands, and so on. A plurality of PDCCHs can be transmitted in the control domain, and the UE can monitor a plurality of PDCCHs.

Control information of the physical layer mapped to the PDCCH is referred to as downlink control information (DCI). That is, the DCI is transmitted on the PDCCH. The DCI may include an uplink or downlink resource allocation field, an uplink transmission power control command field, a control field for paging, a control field for indicating a random access response (RA response), and the like.

2 and 3 schematically show the structure of a radio frame to which the present invention is applied.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a radio frame includes 10 subframes. One subframe includes two slots. The time (length) for transmitting one subframe is called a transmission time interval (TTI). Referring to FIG. 2, for example, the length of one subframe (1 subframe) may be 1 ms and the length of one slot may be 0.5 ms.

A slot may contain a plurality of symbols in the time domain. For example, in the case of a radio system using OFDMA in a downlink (DL), the symbol may be an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) In the case of a radio system using Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), the symbol may be a Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) symbol. On the other hand, the representation of the symbol period of the time domain is not limited by the multiple access scheme or the name.

The number of symbols included in one slot may vary according to the length of a CP (Cyclic Prefix). For example, one slot may include seven symbols in the case of a normal CP, and one slot may include six symbols in the case of an extended CP.

A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit, which includes time-frequency resources corresponding to 180 kHz on the frequency axis and 1 slot on the time axis. A resource element (RE) represents a smallest time-frequency unit to which a modulation symbol of a data channel or a modulation symbol of a control channel is mapped.

In a wireless communication system, it is necessary to estimate an uplink channel or a downlink channel for data transmission / reception, system synchronization acquisition, channel information feedback, and the like. A process of compensating for a distortion of a signal caused by a sudden change in channel environment and restoring a transmission signal is called channel estimation. It is also necessary to measure the channel state of the cell or other cell to which the terminal belongs. In general, a reference signal (RS) known between a UE and a transmission / reception point is used for channel estimation or channel state measurement.

In the case of the downlink channel estimation, since the UE knows the information of the reference signal, the UE estimates the channel based on the received reference signal and compensates the channel value so that the data transmitted from the base station can be accurately obtained. If the reference signal sent from the base station is p, the channel information experienced by the reference signal during transmission is h, the thermal noise generated by the terminal is n, and the signal received by the terminal is y, y = h p + n . Since the reference signal p is already known by the UE, if the LS (Least Square) scheme is used, the channel information

) Can be estimated.

Here, the channel estimation value estimated using the reference signal p

It is necessary to converge to zero.

In the case of the uplink channel estimation, similar to the downlink channel estimation described above, except that the transmitting entity of the reference signal is the terminal and the receiving entity is the base station.

The reference signal is typically generated by generating a signal from a sequence of reference signals. The reference signal sequence may be one or more of several sequences having superior correlation characteristics. For example, a Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation (CAZAC) sequence such as a Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence or a PN (pseudo-noise) sequence such as an m-sequence, a Gold sequence or a Kasami sequence May be used as the reference signal sequence, and various other sequences having superior correlation characteristics may be used depending on system conditions. The reference signal sequence may be cyclic extension or truncation to adjust the length of the sequence or may be used in various forms such as binary phase shift keying (BPSK) or quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) And may be mapped to a RE (Resource element).

The downlink reference signal includes a cell-specific RS, a MBSFN reference signal, a UE-specific RS, a position reference signal PRS, RS and a channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS).

The UE-specific reference signal is a reference signal received by a specific UE or a specific UE group in a cell and can be called a Demodulation RS (DM-RS) since it is mainly used for data demodulation of a specific UE or a specific UE group. have.

Similar to the downlink, the reference signal is also transmitted in the LTE uplink. In the LTE uplink, the uplink DM-RS and SRS can be used. The uplink DM-RS can be used by the base station for channel estimation for coherent demodulation of uplink physical channels (PUSCHs) and physical uplink control channels (PUCCHs) . Therefore, the uplink DM-RS is always transmitted as PUSCH or PUCCH and can be transmitted with the same bandwidth as the corresponding physical channels.

The uplink SRS can be used for channel estimation for channel dependent scheduling and link adaptation according to the uplink channel. The SRS can also be used for estimating the channel condition of the downlink when there is sufficient reciprocity between the uplink and downlink, that is, when the uplink and downlink channels exhibit sufficiently similar characteristics.

Hereinafter, in the embodiment of the present invention, the uplink DM-RS is additionally posted.

The uplink DM-RS is used for channel estimation for the coherent demodulation of the PUSCH to which the UL-SCH transport channel is mapped and for the coherent demodulation of the PUCCH that carries various types of L1 / L2 control signaling need. Although there are some differences, the basic uplink DM-RS structure can be the same for PUSCH and PUCCH. The difference is that the number and position of the SC-FDMA symbols transmitting the reference signal in one subframe may be different from each other.

4 is a conceptual diagram illustrating transmission of an uplink DM-RS when a PUSCH is transmitted.

Referring to FIG. 4, certain symbols may be used solely to transmit the uplink DM-RS. Therefore, the uplink reference signal is time multiplexed with other uplink transmissions from the same terminal. More specifically, in case of PUSCH transmission, the uplink DM-RS can be transmitted in the fourth symbol from the back of each uplink slot. That is, in the case of a normal CP, it can be transmitted in the fourth symbol (l = 3) from the beginning of each uplink slot. In case of an extended CP, a third symbol (l = 2). ≪ / RTI >

Thus, within a subframe, there may be a total of two transmissions of the reference signal once per slot.

In the case of PUCCH transmission, the number of symbols used for reference signal transmission and the exact positions of symbols used for transmission of reference signals in a slot may vary according to the PUCCH format. The basic structure of each reference signal transmission may be a frequency-domain reference signal mapped to a continuous input (continuous subcarrier) of the signal generator, irrespective of whether the type of uplink transmission is PUCCH or PUSCH. The bandwidth of the reference signal corresponding to the sequence length of the reference signal may be equal to the transmission bandwidth of the PUSCH / PUCCH measured by the number of subcarriers. This means that in the case of PUSCH transmission, it is necessary to be able to generate reference signal sequences of different lengths corresponding to possible PUSCH transmission bandwidths. Since the uplink resource allocation for PUCSH transmission is always performed in units of resource blocks having 12 subcarriers, the length of the sequence of reference signals may be a multiple of 12 as well.

Hereinafter, a method of generating a reference signal sequence of an uplink DM-RS (demodulation reference signal for PUSCH) for PUCSH will be described in detail. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the uplink DM-RS that is posted may indicate the uplink DM-RS with respect to the PUSCH.

The sequence of the uplink DM-RS for the PUSCH is

5 is a conceptual diagram showing that one basic reference signal sequence is generated as a plurality of reference sequences according to a cyclic shift.

The uplink DM-RSs defined from different reference signal sequences generally have a non-zero cross-correlation, albeit relatively low. On the other hand, the reference signals defined by different phase rotations of the same basic reference signal sequence are orthogonal to each other and do not interfere with each other. E.g

The reference signal sequence orthogonal to each other can be generated according to the change of the cyclic shift based on one basic sequence. That is, up to twelve orthogonal reference signals can be defined from one basic sequence.

Referring again to Equation (2)

Figure pat00028
Represents an orthogonal sequence such as an orthogonal cover code (OCC). Hereinafter, in an embodiment of the present invention, an orthogonal sequence may be defined and used in terms of an orthogonal cover code or OCC.

The orthogonal sequence can be used in a multiple antenna precoding scheme including uplink multiple antenna transmission, specifically spatial multiplexing. When spatial multiplexing is performed, a separate uplink DM-RS is required per layer. For example, if it is necessary to support simultaneous transmission of four spatially multiplexed layers, one terminal must be able to transmit four different uplink DM-RSs. In order to generate such different uplink DM-RSs, a plurality of mutually orthogonal reference signals are generated using different cyclic sequences as described above, or an orthogonal cover code is generated for two reference signal transmissions in a subframe code to generate two different reference signals.

6 shows an uplink DM-RS generated using an orthogonal cover code.

6 is the uplink DM-RS generated when the orthogonal cover code is [+1, +1] and the lower end of FIG. 6 is the uplink DM generated when the orthogonal cover code is [+1, -1] -RS. The plurality of orthogonal reference signals generated in this manner may be used, for example, in performing a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) -multiple input multiple output (MIMO).

If the upper layer parameter Activate-DMRS-with-OCC is not set or the temporary uplink-related DCI for the transport block associated with the corresponding PUSCH transmission is transmitted, When a temporary cell radio network identifier (RNTI) is used, the orthogonal sequence < RTI ID = 0.0 >

Hereinafter, in the embodiment of the present invention, an uplink-related DCI format is posted.

DCI format 0 or DCI format 4 may be used for the scheduling of the PUSCH in one uplink cell. DCI format 4 was added in release 10 to support UL spatial multiplexing. The basis of the uplink resource allocation scheme is a single cluster scheme in which all of the resource block (s) are continuous in the frequency domain, but in release 10, transmission to a maximum of two clusters per component carrier And a multi-cluster scheme supporting the same.

DCI format 0 can be used to schedule uplink transmissions when spatial multiplexing on a component carrier is not used and has the same size as a control signaling message of compact downlink allocation (DCI Format 1A). The flag on the message may inform the UE about whether it is an uplink scheduling grant (DCI format 0) or a downlink scheduling assignment (DCI format 1A).

7 is a conceptual diagram showing a small cell environment.

7, in 3GPP, a feasibility study for improving the technology of a small base station (eNodeB), which can be used to cover a small area compared with existing macro base stations, is performed among various technical standard items .

Referring to FIG. 7, the base station can be classified into a macro, a pico, a femto base station, or the like depending on the size of a coverage area. The macro base station may be a base station which is generally used and which covers a wider area than a pico base station. Therefore, the macro base station can use a relatively stronger power in transmission than the pico base station. A pico base station covers a small area for a hotspot or a coverage hole. Also, in general, the pico base station can use relatively less power than the macro base station. Therefore, the connection reliability of the pico base station may be lower than that of the macro base station. In 3GPP, a cell provided by a small base station, such as a pico base station, is called a small cell 750 in comparison with a macro base station. Research is underway on various schemes that can more efficiently use the network in a situation where the macro cell 700 by the macro base station and the small cell 750 by the small base station are mixed together, The load on the network can be controlled by offloading the traffic to the small cell 750 according to the load condition of the network 700, thereby increasing the efficiency. In addition, different types of QoS traffic processing can be handled using differences in the connection status of the macro cell 700 and the small cell 750. [ Research on dual connectivity is under way so that traffic can be transmitted and received by simultaneously connecting to the macro cell 700 and the small cell 750 on the side of the terminal.

For example, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence of the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence to be disclosed in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 may be a resource block (s) of an even slot (first slot in one subframe) May be mapped to even-numbered subcarriers or odd-numbered subcarriers in one symbol. Also, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence may be mapped to a first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence in one symbol constituting the resource block (s) of the odd slot (second slot in one subframe) And can be mapped to subcarriers having the same subcarrier index as that of the subcarriers. The default DM-RS sequence may be a sequence generated based on the method published in FIGS. 4 to 6 and mapped to the resource block (s).

The first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence may be orthogonal sequences (e.g., orthogonal sequences) for the first reduced reference signal sequence and the second reduced reference signal sequence, OCC) (hereinafter referred to as &quot; OCC &quot;). Hereinafter, in an embodiment of the present invention, the reference signal sequence indicates a sequence of a DM-RS for an uplink before OCC is applied, and an uplink DM-RS sequence indicates a sequence of an uplink after OCC is applied to a reference signal sequence. It is used as a term to indicate the sequence of DM-RS.

In the method for generating a reduced uplink DM-RS sequence according to an embodiment of the present invention, regardless of whether the number of resource blocks (s) allocated for the uplink DM-RS sequence is an even number or an odd number, It is possible to guarantee the orthogonality of the reduced uplink DM-RS transmitted between the layers when the uplink DM-RS is transmitted to a plurality of layers.

Hereinafter, a reduced uplink DM-RS mapping method and a reduced uplink DM-RS generating method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11. FIG. The reduced uplink DM-RS mapping method and generation method disclosed in FIGS. 8 to 11 is one example of the other various reduced uplink DM-RS mapping methods that are compared with the default DM-RS sequence and mapped to few resources Can be used.

8 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method of mapping a reduced uplink DM-RS sequence according to an embodiment of the present invention.

8 illustrates a method for mapping a first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 and a second reduced uplink DM-RS 820 in a resource block (s) for each slot included in a subframe Post.

A method for generating a reduced reference signal sequence for generating a first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 and a second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 will be described later.

8 shows a normal CP subframe defined by a single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) symbol including a normal cyclic prefix (CP). One resource block (RB) of the normal CP subframe includes seven consecutive SC-FDMA symbols (l = 0 to 6) in the time domain and 12 subcarriers (k '= 0 ~ 11). The index of the SC-FDMA symbol may increase sequentially as the time increases. The index of the subcarriers constituting the resource block can be sequentially increased in the direction of increasing frequency. Referring to the upper part of FIG. 8, the location to which the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 is mapped in the time domain may be preceded in time in an even slot (first slot in one subframe) (L = 3), which is the fourth SC-FDMA symbol. That is, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 in the time domain is allocated to a position where the index of the SC-FDMA symbol is l = 3 in the even slot (first slot in one subframe) of the normal CP subframe Lt; / RTI &gt;

The first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 in the frequency domain may be mapped to some subcarriers of 12 subcarriers (subcarriers # 0 to # 12, k '= 0 to 11). For example, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 may be mapped to subcarriers corresponding to even indexes (k '= 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10).

The second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 in the time domain is a 4 th SC-FDMA symbol (l = 1, 2, 3, 4, 3). &Lt; / RTI &gt; In other words, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 in the time domain is located at the position where the index of the SC-FDMA symbol is l = 3 in the odd number slot (second slot in one subframe) of the normal CP subframe Lt; / RTI &gt;

The second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 in the frequency domain includes a first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence of 12 subcarriers (subcarriers # 0 to # 12, k '= 0 to 11) Carriers of the same index as the subcarriers to which the subcarrier 810 is mapped. For example, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 may be mapped to subcarriers corresponding to even indexes (k '= 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10).

That is, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 is located at l = 3 in the even slot (the first slot in one subframe) of the normal CP subframe in the time domain, It can be mapped to the position of the index. Also, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 is located at a position of l = 3 in an odd slot (the second slot in one subframe) of the normal CP subframe in the time domain, an even subcarrier It can be mapped to the position of the index.

In other words, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 is a sequence of subcarriers sequentially increasing in the SC-FDMA symbols of l = 3 in an even slot (first slot in one subframe) The index of the subcarrier may be even. In addition, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 is mapped in order of sequentially increasing indexes of subcarriers in an SC-FDMA symbol with l = 3 of an odd slot, and the index of a subcarrier may be even .

A subcarrier having an even index can be represented by a subcarrier having a subcarrier index satisfying mod2 = 0 in another expression (subcarrier index). By using the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence mapping method according to the embodiment of the present invention, compared to the case of transmitting the existing default uplink DM-RS, it is possible to use different uplink DM-RS resources, The applied reduced uplink DM-RS sequence may be mapped.

8 shows an extended CP subframe defined by an SC-FDMA symbol including an extended cyclic prefix (CP). One resource block of the extended CP subframe may be defined as six consecutive SC-FDMA symbols (l = 0 to 5) in the time domain and 12 subcarriers (k '= 0 to 11) continuous in the frequency domain have.

Referring to the lower part of FIG. 8, the position to which the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 is mapped in the time domain is pre-coded in an even time slot (first slot in one subframe) (L = 2), which is the third SC-FDMA symbol. That is, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 in the time domain is located at the position where the index of the SC-FDMA symbol is l = 2 in an even slot (first slot in one subframe) of the extended CP subframe Lt; / RTI &gt;

The first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 in the frequency domain may be mapped to some subcarriers of 12 subcarriers (subcarriers # 0 to # 12, k '= 0 to 11). For example, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 may be mapped to subcarriers corresponding to even indexes (k '= 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10).

Also, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 in the time domain is a third SC-FDMA symbol (l = 1, 2, ..., 2). &Lt; / RTI &gt; That is, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 in the time domain is located at the position where the index of the SC-FDMA symbol is l = 2 in the odd slot (second slot in one subframe) of the extended CP subframe Lt; / RTI &gt;

The second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 in the frequency domain includes a first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence of 12 subcarriers (subcarriers # 0 to # 12, k '= 0 to 11) Carriers of the same index as the subcarriers to which the subcarrier 810 is mapped. For example, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 may be mapped to subcarriers corresponding to even indexes (k '= 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10).

That is, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 is located at l = 2 in an even slot (the first slot in one subframe) of the extended CP subframe in the time domain, an even subcarrier It can be mapped to the position of the index. Also, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 is located at l = 2 in the odd-numbered slot (the second slot in one subframe) of the extended CP subframe in the time domain, It can be mapped to the position of the index.

In other words, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 810 is a sequence of subcarriers sequentially increasing in the SC-FDMA symbol with l = 2 in an even slot (first slot in one subframe) The index of the subcarrier may be even. The second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 820 is mapped in the order of increasing subcarrier indices sequentially in SC-FDMA symbols of l = 2 in an even slot (first slot in one subframe) , And the index of the subcarrier may be an even number.

Also, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 920 is mapped in order of sequentially increasing indexes of subcarriers in an SC-FDMA symbol of l = 3 in an odd slot (a second slot in one subframe) , And the index of the subcarrier may be an odd number.

A subcarrier having an odd index can be represented by a subcarrier having a subcarrier index satisfying mod2 = 1 in another expression (subcarrier index).

Here, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is mapped to subcarriers corresponding to even indexes (k '= 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) in one resource block in the frequency domain, (K '= 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) within one resource block in the frequency domain is assumed to be mapped to a subcarrier do.

Referring to Equation (7), unlike Equation (2)

May be the number of subcarriers used to map the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence or the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence on the frequency domain.

That is, in the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence mapping method according to an embodiment of the present invention, a first reduced uplink signal sequence is generated based on a reduced reference signal sequence having a length 1/2 shorter than the length of a conventional reference signal sequence, Link DM-RS sequence and a second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence. The first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence are added to the reduced reference signal sequence as OCC

The reduced reference signal sequence may be generated based on Equation (8) below.

) May also have a reduced sequence length.

Basic sequence (

Figure pat00066
(Physical cell ID or virtual cell ID) in the case of u and v, which are parameters required for generation of the virtual cell ID, may have different values. That is, if the slot or cell ID is different, the basic sequence may be different. A first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and a second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence according to an embodiment of the present invention may be mapped in one symbol of different slots. That is, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence may be generated based on different first reduced reference signal sequences and second reduced reference signal sequences.

Also, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a cyclic shift (cs) value per layer multiplied by a reference signal sequence

Figure pat00067
Can be determined as Equation (9) below.

&Quot; (9) &quot;

Figure pat00068

When the number m of resource block (s) allocated to map the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is an even number as described above, the sequence generation method and the CS / OCC generation / Mapping method can be used as it is. However, if the number m of resource block (s) allocated to map the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is an odd number, only an even-numbered sub-carrier or odd-numbered sub- , The number of subcarriers to which the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is mapped may not be a multiple of 12. That is, the length of the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence may not be a multiple of 12. Therefore, when applying the cyclic shift and / or OCC that was previously used to determine the default uplink DM-RS sequence, the orthogonality between the sequences may be compromised.

In order to solve this problem, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is mapped to the resource block (s), it is reduced to prevent the orthogonality of the reduced uplink DM- A cyclic shift (cs) value per layer multiplied by the reference signal sequence

Figure pat00070

Referring to Equation (10), different equations may be used depending on whether the number of resource block (s) allocated to transmit the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence or the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is an even number The value of the layer-by-layer cyclic shift can be determined. For example, if the number of resource block (s) allocated to be mapped to the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence or the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is even (m mod2 = 0)

Figure pat00071
The value of the cyclic shift can be determined. On the contrary, when the number of resource blocks (s) allocated to be mapped to the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence or the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is odd (m mod2 = 1)
Figure pat00072
The value of the cyclic shift can be determined.

If the number m of RBs to which the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence or the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is mapped is mapped to six subcarriers for each resource block, The number of subcarriers to which the uplink DM-RS sequence or the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is mapped may be a multiple of 12. [ That is, the length of the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is divided by 12. However, even when the number m of allocated resource block (s) is odd, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence or the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is mapped to six subcarriers in each resource block The number of mapped subcarriers may be a multiple of six.

That is, in Equation (10), orthogonality between the reduced uplink DM-RS sequences can be guaranteed by determining the phase of the cyclic shift to be used in the sequence differently according to the length of the generated uplink DM-RS sequence generated.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, only when the number m of allocated resource block (s) for the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is even, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence Or to use a second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence. In this case, only when the number m of RBs allocated for the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is an even number, only the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence or the second reduced uplink DM- Sequence may be used. In this case

Figure pat00073
The value of the cyclic shift can be determined.

Even if the orthogonality of the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is preserved in the same manner as in Equation (10), if a reduced uplink DM-RS sequence generated based on Table 1 is generated and transmitted in a plurality of layers, Can be damaged. An embodiment of the present invention discloses a method that does not compromise the orthogonality of a reduced uplink DM-RS sequence transmitted in a plurality of layers.

Hereinafter, the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence disclosed in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 is mapped to a first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence mapped to even-numbered subcarriers in one symbol and to odd-numbered subcarriers And a second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence to be transmitted. The first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence may be a sequence generated by applying OCC to the first reduced reference signal sequence and the second reduced reference signal sequence. Hereinafter, in an embodiment of the present invention, the reference signal sequence indicates a sequence of a DM-RS for an uplink before OCC is applied, and an uplink DM-RS sequence indicates a sequence of an uplink after OCC is applied to a reference signal sequence. It is used as a term to indicate the sequence of DM-RS.

8 and 9, the amount of resources used for transmitting the uplink DM-RS can be reduced by using the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence mapping method as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. In addition, although the amount of resources used to transmit the uplink DM-RS is reduced, orthogonality between sequences can be guaranteed by applying OCC to each reference signal sequence.

In addition, when using the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence mapping method disclosed in FIGS. 10 and 11, a first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence mapping method, in which OCC is applied on the same symbol in one slot unlike FIGS. 8 and 9, By using the RS and the second reduced uplink DM-RS, a reduced uplink DM-RS with OCC can be used without disabling group hopping and sequence hopping.

Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present invention specifically posts the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence.

10 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method of mapping an uplink DM-RS sequence according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 10 illustrates a method for mapping a first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 and a second reduced uplink DM-RS 1020 in a subframe. As described above, the reference signal sequence for generating the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 may be the same sequence. A method for generating a reference signal sequence for generating the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 will be described later.

The upper part of FIG. 10 shows a normal CP subframe defined by an SC-FDMA symbol including a normal CP. One resource block of a normal CP subframe can be defined as 7 consecutive SC-FDMA symbols (l = 0 to 6) in the time domain and 12 subcarriers (k '= 0 to 11) continuous in the frequency domain have. The index of the SC-FDMA symbol may increase sequentially as the time increases. The index of the subcarrier can be sequentially increased in the direction of increasing frequency.

10, the locations to which the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 are mapped in the time domain are the even-numbered slots of the normal CP sub- (L = 3) preceding a time in the first slot (one slot in one subframe). That is, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 in the time domain are even slots (the first slot in one subframe) of the normal CP subframe, The index of the SC-FDMA symbol may be mapped to a position of l = 3.

The first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 in the frequency domain are divided into 12 subcarriers (subcarriers # 0 through # 11, k '= 0 To 11 and the remaining subcarriers, respectively. For example, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 is mapped to a specific subcarrier, and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 is mapped to a subcarrier Can be mapped to subcarriers.

For example, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 may be mapped to subcarriers of an even index (k '= 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10) The uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 may be mapped to subcarriers of odd indexes (k '= 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11). That is, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 is located at l = 3 in the even slot (the first slot in one subframe) of the normal CP subframe in the time domain, It can be mapped to the position of the index. Also, the second uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 is located at a position of l = 3 in the even slot (the first slot in one subframe) of the normal CP subframe in the time domain, the position of the odd subcarrier index Location. &Lt; / RTI &gt;

In other words, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 is mapped in order of decreasing subcarrier index sequentially in the SC-FDMA symbol with l = 3, and the index of the subcarrier may be even. Also, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 is mapped in order of sequentially increasing indexes of subcarriers in the SC-FDMA symbol with l = 3, and the index of the subcarriers may be odd.

A subcarrier having an even index can be represented by a subcarrier having a subcarrier index satisfying mod2 = 0 in another expression (subcarrier index). Similarly, a subcarrier having an odd index can be represented by a subcarrier having a subcarrier index satisfying mod2 = 1 in another expression (subcarrier index).

By using the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence mapping method as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a reduced uplink DM-RS sequence applying different OCCs in one symbol can be mapped. The reduced uplink DM-RS sequence applying different OCCs in one symbol is more effective for UEs moving with high mobility in a frequency-selective fading channel of a small cell Lt; / RTI &gt; For a UE with high mobility, a reduced uplink DM-RS sequence applying OCC between adjacent subcarriers rather than an uplink DM-RS sequence applying OCC between slots can have higher reliability in terms of orthogonality.

The lower part of FIG. 10 shows an extended CP subframe defined by an SC-FDMA symbol including an extended CP. One resource block of the extended CP subframe may be defined as six consecutive SC-FDMA symbols (l = 0 to 5) in the time domain and 12 subcarriers (k '= 0 to 11) continuous in the frequency domain have.

10, the positions where the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 are mapped in the time domain are the even slots of the extended CP subframe (L = 2) preceding a time in the first slot (one slot in one subframe). That is, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 in the time domain are allocated to even slots (first slot in one subframe) Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 &gt; l = 2 &lt; / RTI &gt;

On the frequency domain, the extended CP subframe may be mapped to the first reduced uplink DM-RS 1010 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS 1020, similar to the normal CP subframe. That is, in the extended CP subframe, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 is mapped in order of increasing index of subcarriers sequentially in SC-FDMA symbols of l = 2, and the index of subcarriers is mapped to even Lt; / RTI &gt; Also, the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 is mapped in order of sequentially increasing indexes of subcarriers in the SC-FDMA symbol with l = 2, and the index of the subcarriers may be an odd number. That the index of the subcarrier is an even number can indicate a subcarrier index satisfying (subcarrier index) mod2 = 0. In addition, when the index of the subcarrier is an odd number, it can indicate a subcarrier index satisfying (subcarrier index) mod2 = 1.

In FIG. 10, a first reduced uplink DM-RS (first slot in one subframe) mapped to an even slot (first slot in one subframe) and an even slot Sequence 1010 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020. [0064] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an odd-numbered slot (a second slot in one subframe) and an odd-numbered slot (a second slot in one subframe) of a normal CP subframe other than an even- The reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1010 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1020 may be mapped.

11 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method of mapping an uplink DM-RS sequence according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 11, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence (the first one in one subframe) and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence (the second one in one subframe) in the normal CP subframe 1110 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS 1120 are mapped.

The upper part of FIG. 11 shows a first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1110 and a second reduced uplink DM-RS 1120 in an odd slot (a second slot in one subframe) of the normal CP subframe Is mapped.

In the frequency domain, mapping can be performed in the same manner as described above with reference to FIG. The positions at which the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1110 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1120 are mapped in the time domain are odd-numbered slots of the normal CP subframe (the second Slot) preceding a time slot in the first SC-FDMA symbol (l = 3).

The lower part of FIG. 11 shows a first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1110 and a second reduced uplink DM-RS 1120 in an odd number slot (a second slot in one subframe) of the extended CP subframe Is mapped.

In the frequency domain, mapping can be performed in the same manner as described above with reference to FIG. The location to which the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1110 and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence 1120 are mapped in the time domain is an odd-numbered slot of the extended CP subframe (the second Slot) preceding the time slot in the first SC-FDMA symbol (l = 2).

The method for generating the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence disclosed in FIGS. 10 and 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, (A first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and a second reduced DM-RS sequence). That is, the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence disclosed in FIGS. 10 and 11 may be generated based on Equations (7) to (10) as described above .

Therefore, as in the case of the reduced uplink DM-RS disclosed in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the number of the allocated resource block (s) allocated to the reduced uplink DM-RS disclosed in FIGS. 10 and 11 is odd The orthogonality of the reduced uplink DM-RS may be impaired. Therefore, when the number of resource block (s) allocated to the reduced uplink DM-RS is odd, the value of the cyclic shift can be determined based on Equation (10).

In the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence mapping method disclosed in FIGS. 10 and 11, as in the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence mapping method disclosed in FIGS. 8 and 9, Even if the orthogonality of the DM-RS sequence is preserved, if a reduced uplink DM-RS sequence generated based on Table 1 is generated and transmitted in a plurality of layers, the orthogonality between the reduced uplink DM-RS sequences is impaired . Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a method of not reducing the orthogonality between reduced uplink DM-RS sequences transmitted in a plurality of layers.

The OCC applied to each layer can be determined according to Table 1. Each layer can determine a first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and a second reduced uplink DM-RS to be transmitted in each layer based on Equation (7).

When Table 1 is used to apply OCC to each of the plurality of layers, a cyclic shift (cs) value determined based on Equation (10) according to an embodiment of the present invention

RS-based DM-RS sequences, it may occur that the reduced DM-RS sequences can not be distinguished between the reduced uplink DM-RS sequences.

More specifically, when the number m of resource block (s) allocated to the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is an even number,

Figure pat00075
Can be used to determine the cyclic shift. If the number (m) of resource block (s) allocated to the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is an odd number,
Figure pat00076
Can be used to determine the cyclic shift. If the number m of resource block (s) allocated to the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is an even number, it is the same as in the conventional case, but the resource blocks allocated to the reduced uplink DM- (M) is an odd number, the first layer

) And the second layer (
Figure pat00078
May not be distinguished from the uplink DM-RS sequence mapped to the uplink DM-RS sequence.

Specifically, as shown in Table 1, by the value of the CS field for the uplink DM-RS sequence of the DCI format associated with the most recent uplink,

Figure pat00082
The cyclic shift determined based on the value of the first layer and the second layer may be the same value. Specifically, Equation (6) for determining the value of the cyclic shift

Is used to determine the value of the cyclic shift,

If the value of &lt; RTI ID = 0.0 &gt;

(I.e., the origin). Therefore,
Figure pat00086
Values have the same cyclic shift value. Also, the same OCC [1,1] is applied to the first layer and the second layer, so that a downlink DM-RS sequence that is reduced between the first layer and the second layer is not distinguished.

Therefore, when the number m of the resource block (s) to which the downlink reduced downlink DM-RS sequence is mapped on the frequency axis is an odd number as shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, Can not be distinguished. Therefore, each terminal can only transmit the reduced uplink DM-RS in only one layer.

Hereinafter, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the number of resource block (s) mapped to the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is an odd number, the value of cyclic shift and / or the value of OCC are set differently, Or methods for ensuring orthogonality between terminals. By using this method, it is possible to transmit an uplink DM-RS sequence ensuring orthogonality in a plurality of layers.

Table 6 below shows a first method for ensuring orthogonality between layers and / or terminals according to an embodiment of the present invention.

<Table 6>

Figure pat00087

Referring to Table 6, the value of the OCC for each layer

Figure pat00088
Shall remain the same as in Table 1. However, compared to Table 1,
Figure pat00089
The orthogonality between the layers can be guaranteed. Hereinafter, in the embodiment of the present invention
Figure pat00090
Is defined and used as a DC-based CS decision value.

Table 6 shows the existing second layer (Table 1) published in Table 1

Figure pat00091
) And the third layer (
Figure pat00092
) Were exchanged with each other.

In the case of using a single user (SU) -MIMO (multiple input multiple output) as a transmission method in Table 6, the value of the cyclic shift and / or the OCC is changed until the number of layers is four The orthogonality between the uplink DM-RS sequences can be guaranteed.

Also, when Table 6 is used, when MU (multi user) -MIMO is used as the transmission method, orthogonality can be guaranteed with the value of the cyclic shift and the OCC until the total number of layers is four. In the MU-MIMO environment, the total number of layers may mean the sum of the number of layers for each terminal.

The division of these four layers may be possible only in the cyclic shift field of some of the cyclic shift fields of Table 6. [ Also in Table 6, in the case of some cyclic shift fields, the uplink DM-RS sequence can not be distinguished. This will be specifically described in Fig.

12 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method for ensuring orthogonality between layers and / or terminals according to an embodiment of the present invention.

12 shows the cyclic shift and OCC for ensuring orthogonality between the layers and / or the terminals published in Table 6. FIG.

If the value of the cyclic shift field is indicated as '000', '001', '010' or '111' in Table 6, uplink DM-RS sequence orthogonality can be guaranteed up to four layers.

Referring to FIG. 11, assuming that the value of the cyclic shift field is '000', the DCI-based CS decision value may have 0, 3, 6, and 9. If the DCI-based CS decision values are 0 and 3, there is a cyclic shift value between CS decision values 0 and 3

Figure pat00093
The two uplink DM-RS sequences can be distinguished even if the OCC is equal to [1,1]. Even when the DCI-based CS decision values are 6 and 9, the values of the cyclic shifts between the CS decision values 6 and 9
Figure pat00094
The uplink DM-RS sequence can be distinguished. However, in the case of DCI-based CS decision values 0 and 6 or 3 and 9, since the values of the cyclic shifts are different by 0 between CS decision values 0 and 6 and CS decision values 3 and 9, It can not be distinguished by value alone. In this case, it is possible to distinguish the uplink DM-RS sequence by using [1, -1] in case of 6 and 9, as opposed to using [1, 1] have.

If the value of the cyclic shift field is '011', '100', '101', or '110' in Table 6, orthogonality can be guaranteed up to two layers. That is, only the uplink DM-RS sequence of the first layer and the second layer can be distinguished.

Referring to FIG. 12, assuming that the value of the cyclic shift field is '011', the DCI-based CS decision value may have 4, 7, 10, 1. If the DCI-based CS decision values are 4 and 7, the value of the cyclic shift is between CS decision values 4 and 7

Figure pat00095
The two uplink DM-RS sequences can be distinguished even if the OCC is equal to [1,1]. Even if the DCI-based CS decision values are 10 and 1, the values of the cyclic shifts between the CS decision values 10 and 1
Figure pat00096
The uplink DM-RS sequence can be distinguished. However, when the DCI-based CS decision values are 4 and 10 or 7 and 1, the value of the cyclic shift is different by 0 between the CS decision values 4 and 10 and between the CS decision values 7 and 1, It can not be distinguished by value alone. However, even if DCI-based CS decision values are 10 and 1, the values of OCC are the same as those of DCI-based CS decision values 4 and 7, respectively. Therefore, the uplink DM-RS sequence of the first layer and the second layer can not be distinguished from the third layer and the fourth layer and the uplink DM-RS sequence. Therefore, when the value of the cyclic shift field is '011', it is possible to use an uplink DM-RS sequence distinguished only for two layers.

Table 7 below shows a second method for ensuring orthogonality between layers and / or terminals according to an embodiment of the present invention.

<Table 7>

Figure pat00097

Referring to Table 7, for each layer

(CS decision value based on DCI) is the same as in Table 1, and the value of the OCC for each layer

To ensure orthogonality between the layers.

In Table 7, in order to guarantee the orthogonality between the layers, the existing second layer (

Figure pat00100
) And the third layer (
Figure pat00101
) Were exchanged with each other.

When SU-MIMO is used as the transmission method, the orthogonality between the uplink DM-RS sequences can be guaranteed based on the value of the cyclic shift and / or the OCC until the number of layers is four, as in the conventional case.

When MU-MIMO is used as the transmission method, it is possible to ensure the orthogonality with the value of the cyclic shift and / or the OCC until the total number of layers is four. In the MU-MIMO environment, the total number of layers may mean the sum of the number of layers for each terminal.

The division of these four layers may be possible only in some of the cyclic shift fields in Table 7. [ Also in Table 7, a combination of some cyclic shifts and OCCs can not distinguish the uplink DM-RS sequence. This is described in Fig.

13 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method for ensuring orthogonality between layers and / or terminals according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 13 shows a cyclic shift and OCC for ensuring orthogonality between inter-layer and / or inter-terminal as disclosed in Table 7. FIG.

If the value of the cyclic shift field is '000', '001', '010' or '111' in Table 7, orthogonality of up to four layers can be guaranteed.

Referring to FIG. 13, assuming that the value of the cyclic shift field is '000', the DCI-based CS decision value may have 0, 6, 3, and 9. When the DC-based CS decision values are 0 and 6, there is no difference in the cyclic shift value between the CS decision values 0 and 6. However, since the OCCs have different [1,1], [1, -1] Link DM-RS sequences can be distinguished. Similarly, even when the DCI-based CS decision values are 3 and 9, there is no difference in the cyclic shift values between the CS decision values 3 and 9, but since the OCCs have different [1,1] and [1, -1] RTI ID = 0.0 &gt; DM-RS &lt; / RTI &gt;

If the value of the cyclic shift field is '011', '100', '101', or '110' in Table 7, orthogonality can be guaranteed up to one layer. That is, it is impossible to distinguish only the uplink DM-RS sequence for a plurality of layers.

Referring to FIG. 13, assuming that the value of the cyclic shift field is '011', the DCI-based CS decision value may have 4, 10, 7, 1. If the DCI-based CS decision values are 4 and 10, there is no difference in the cyclic shift between CS decision values 4 and 10, and the OCC is equal to [1,1]. That is, the uplink DM-RS sequence of the first layer and the second layer can not be distinguished. Therefore, only the uplink DM-RS sequence in the first layer can be used.

Table 8 below shows a third method for ensuring orthogonality between layers and / or terminals according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Based CS decision value for the first layer, a second DCI-based CS decision value for the second layer, a third DCI-based CS decision value for the third layer, a second DCI-based CS decision value for the second layer, When dividing by the fourth DCI-based CS decision value, the DCI-based CS decision value of the table of Table 8 can be determined on the basis of the following operation.

The modulo 12 computed value of the difference between the second DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI-based CS decision value may be three. The value obtained by modulo 12 calculation of the difference between the third DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI-based CS decision value is 1, and the difference between the fourth DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI- One value may be four.

When SU-MIMO is used as the transmission method, the orthogonality between uplink DM-RS sequences can be guaranteed based on the value of the cyclic shift and / or the OCC until the number of layers is four, as in the conventional case. In addition, when MU-MIMO is used as the transmission method, orthogonality can be guaranteed with the value of the cyclic shift and the OCC until the number of layers for each terminal is four.

FIG. 14 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method for ensuring orthogonality between layers and / or terminals according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 14 shows a cyclic shift and OCC for ensuring orthogonality between inter-layer layers and / or terminals posted in Table 8.

In Table 8, it is possible to guarantee orthogonality with respect to values of all cyclic shift fields.

Referring to FIG. 14, assuming that the value of the cyclic shift field is '000', the DCI-based CS decision value may have 0, 3, 1, and 4. If DCI-based CS decision values are 0 and 3, there is a difference in cyclic shift value between CS decision values 0 and 3

Figure pat00109
The two uplink DM-RS sequences can be distinguished even if the OCC is equal to [1,1]. Even if the DC-based CS decision values are 1 and 4, there is a cyclic shift value between the CS decision values 1 and 4
Figure pat00110
The uplink DM-RS sequence can be distinguished. On the other hand, when DCI-based CS decision values are 0 and 1 or 3 and 4, there is not a large difference in cyclic shift values between CS decision values 0 and 1 and CS decision values 3 and 4. In this case, the value of OCC is set to 1 by using DCI-based CS decision values 0, 3, and by using [1, -1] -RS sequence can be distinguished.

That is, the modulo 12 calculation of the difference between the second DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI-based CS decision value may be three. The value obtained by modulo 12 calculation of the difference between the third DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI-based CS decision value is 2, and the difference between the fourth DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI- One value may be four.

That is, the modulo 12 calculation of the difference between the second DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI-based CS decision value may be three. The value obtained by modulo 12 calculation of the difference between the third DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI-based CS decision value is 1, and the difference between the fourth DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI- One value can be 5.

The modulo 12 computed value of the difference between the second DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI-based CS decision value may be three. The value obtained by modulo 12 calculation of the difference between the third DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI-based CS decision value is 2, and the difference between the fourth DCI-based CS decision value and the first DCI- One value can be 5.

That is, referring to Tables 6 to 11, the DCI-based CS decision value and the OCC are used for a first primary uplink DM-RS sequence, a second primary uplink DM-RS sequence, a first secondary uplink DM- The second secondary uplink DM-RS sequences may be determined to be orthogonal to each other.

Wherein the first primary uplink DM-RS sequence is a first uplink DM-RS sequence for a first layer of a plurality of layers, a second primary uplink DM-RS sequence is for a first layer of a plurality of layers, And indicates a second uplink DM-RS sequence. Also, the first secondary uplink DM-RS sequence may include a first secondary uplink DM-RS sequence for the remaining layers of the plurality of layers, a second secondary uplink DM-RS sequence for the remaining layers of the plurality of layers, Link Indicates the DM-RS sequence.

More specifically, the DCI-based CS decision value includes a first cyclic shift value for generating a first primary uplink DM-RS sequence and a second primary uplink DM-RS sequence and a first cyclic shift value for generating a first secondary uplink DM- Sequence and a second cyclic shift value for generating a second secondary uplink DM-RS sequence

That is, the method for determining a reduced uplink DM-RS sequence according to an embodiment of the present invention includes receiving information on the number of resource blocks (s) allocated for a reduced uplink DM-RS sequence by the UE And the UE may map the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence to the allocated resource block (s).

If the number of allocated resource block (s) is an even number, the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is generated based on the value of the first circular shift field received by the UE, Sequence and a second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence.

If the number of allocated resource block (s) is an odd number, the reduced uplink DM-RS sequence is a third reduced uplink DM-RS sequence based on the value of the first circular shift field received by the UE, And a fourth reduced uplink DM-RS sequence.

If the number of allocated resource block (s) is even, the value of the first cyclic shift field is used to generate the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence A cyclic shift (CS) determination value based on a downlink control field (DCI), and a first orthogonal sequence. The length of the first reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and the length of the second reduced uplink DM-RS sequence may each be a multiple of twelve.

Or if the number of allocated resource block (s) is odd, the value of the first cyclic shift field is used to generate the third reduced uplink DM-RS sequence and the fourth reduced uplink DM-RS sequence A second DCI-based CS decision value and a second orthogonal sequence.
