Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for setting a plurality of DMRS structures in a wireless cellular communication system,

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for setting up a plurality of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) structures and determining uplink and downlink transmission timings for delay reduction.

Efforts are underway to develop an improved 5G or pre-5G communication system to meet the growing demand for wireless data traffic after commercialization of the 4G communication system. For this reason, a 5G communication system or a pre-5G communication system is called a system after a 4G network (Beyond 4G network) communication system or after a LTE system (Post LTE). To achieve a high data rate, 5G communication systems are being considered for implementation in very high frequency (mmWave) bands (e.g., 60 gigahertz (60GHz) bands). In order to mitigate the path loss of the radio wave in the very high frequency band and to increase the propagation distance of the radio wave, in the 5G communication system, beamforming, massive MIMO, full-dimension MIMO (FD-MIMO ), Array antennas, analog beam-forming, and large scale antenna technologies are being discussed. In order to improve the network of the system, the 5G communication system has developed an advanced small cell, an advanced small cell, a cloud radio access network (cloud RAN), an ultra-dense network, (D2D), a wireless backhaul, a moving network, cooperative communication, Coordinated Multi-Points (CoMP), and interference cancellation Have been developed. In addition, in the 5G system, the Advanced Coding Modulation (ACM) scheme, Hybrid FSK and QAM Modulation (FQAM) and Sliding Window Superposition Coding (SWSC), the advanced connection technology, Filter Bank Multi Carrier (FBMC) (non-orthogonal multiple access), and SCMA (sparse code multiple access).

On the other hand, the Internet is evolving into an Internet of Things (IoT) network in which information is exchanged between distributed components such as objects in a human-centered connection network where humans generate and consume information. IoE (Internet of Everything) technology, which combines IoT technology with big data processing technology through connection with cloud servers, is also emerging. In order to implement IoT, technology elements such as sensing technology, wired / wireless communication, network infrastructure, service interface technology and security technology are required. In recent years, sensor network, machine to machine , M2M), and MTC (Machine Type Communication). In the IoT environment, an intelligent IT (Internet Technology) service can be provided that collects and analyzes data generated from connected objects to create new value in human life. IoT is a field of smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, smart grid, health care, smart home appliance, and advanced medical service through fusion of existing information technology . ≪ / RTI >

Accordingly, various attempts have been made to apply the 5G communication system to the IoT network. For example, technologies such as a sensor network, a machine to machine (M2M), and a machine type communication (MTC) are implemented by techniques such as beamforming, MIMO, and array antennas It is. The application of the cloud RAN as the big data processing technology described above is an example of the convergence of 5G technology and IoT technology.

Also, unlike the LTE system, 5G wireless communication considers a system operating in a higher frequency band than the 6GHz frequency band. Since the channel characteristics depend on the frequency band, it is necessary to newly design the reference signal in consideration of this in the 5G system. In addition, low-latency and high-mobility are considered important in 5G wireless communication, and it is important to minimize the overhead of the reference signal.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The advantages and features of the present invention, and the manner of achieving them, will be apparent from and elucidated with reference to the embodiments described hereinafter in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Is provided to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.

For example, 3GPP's High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), LTE (Long Term Evolution or Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)), LTE-Advanced To a broadband wireless communication system that provides high-speed, high-quality packet data services such as the LTE-A, 3GPP2 high rate packet data (HRPD), UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband), and IEEE 802.16e communication standards. . In addition, a 5G or NR (new radio) communication standard is being produced with the fifth generation wireless communication system.

≪ Embodiment 1 >

In a wireless communication system, a base station must transmit a reference signal for estimating a channel. The UE can perform channel estimation using the reference signal and demodulate the received signal. Also, the terminal can use the reference signal to grasp the channel state and feed it back to the base station. Generally, when transmitting a reference signal, the transmission interval between the frequency and the time of the reference signal is determined in consideration of the maximum delay spread and the maximum Doppler spread of the channel. As the transmission interval between the frequency and time of the reference signal is narrowed, the channel estimation performance is improved and the demodulation performance of the signal can be improved. However, this results in increasing the overhead of the reference signal and limiting the data transmission rate.

Conventionally, 4G LTE systems operating in the 2GHz frequency band use reference signals such as CRS (cell-specific reference signal) and DMRS (demodulation reference signal) in the downlink. Assuming that the interval of the reference signal in the frequency domain is represented by a subcarrier interval m of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal and the interval of the reference signal is represented by a symbol interval n of the OFDM signal in time, , And the transmission interval between the frequency-time of the reference signal corresponding to antenna ports 1 and 2 is (m, n) = (3, 4). In case of DMRS assuming normal CP, the transmission interval between frequency and time of reference signal is (m, n) = (5,7).

Unlike the LTE system, the 5G wireless communication system considers a system operating in a higher frequency band than the 6GHz frequency band. Since the channel characteristics depend on the frequency band, it is necessary to newly design the reference signal in consideration of this in the 5G system.

In the LTE / LTE-A system, a typical example of the broadband wireless communication system is an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme in a downlink (DL) Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (CDMA) scheme. The uplink refers to a radio link through which a UE (User Equipment) or an MS (Mobile Station) transmits data or control signals to a base station (eNode B or base station (BS) The term " wireless link " In the above multiple access scheme, the data or control information of each user is classified and operated so that the time and frequency resources for transmitting data or control information for each user do not overlap each other, that is, orthogonality is established. do.

1A is a diagram illustrating a basic structure of a time-frequency domain, which is a radio resource region in which the data or control channel is transmitted in the downlink in an LTE / LTE-A system.

In Fig. 1A, the abscissa represents the time domain and the ordinate axis represents the frequency domain. The minimum transmission unit in the time domain is an OFDM symbol. Nsymb (102) OFDM symbols constitute one slot 106, and two slots form one subframe 105. The length of the slot is 0.5 ms and the length of the subframe is 1.0 ms. The radio frame 114 is a time domain including 10 subframes. The minimum transmission unit in the frequency domain is a subcarrier, and the bandwidth of the total system transmission bandwidth is composed of a total of NBW (104) subcarriers.

In a time-frequency domain, a basic unit of a resource can be represented by an OFDM symbol index and a subcarrier index as a resource element (RE) 112. A resource block (RB or Physical Resource Block) 108 is defined as Nsymb (102) consecutive OFDM symbols in the time domain and NRB (110) consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. Thus, one RB 108 is comprised of Nsymb x NRB REs 112. In general, the minimum transmission unit of data is the RB unit. In the LTE system, Nsymb = 7 and NRB = 12 in general, and NBW and NRB are proportional to the bandwidth of the system transmission band. The data rate increases in proportion to the number of RBs scheduled to the UE. The LTE system defines and operates six transmission bandwidths. In the case of an FDD system in which the downlink and the uplink are classified by frequency, the downlink transmission bandwidth and the uplink transmission bandwidth may be different from each other. The channel bandwidth represents the RF bandwidth corresponding to the system transmission bandwidth. [Table 1-1] shows the correspondence relationship between the system transmission bandwidth and the channel bandwidth defined in the LTE system. For example, an LTE system with a 10 MHz channel bandwidth has a transmission bandwidth of 50 RBs.

[Table 1-1]

1B is a diagram illustrating a basic structure of a time-frequency domain, which is a radio resource region in which data or a control channel is transmitted in an uplink in an LTE / LTE-A system.

Referring to FIG. 1B, the horizontal axis represents the time domain and the vertical axis represents the frequency domain. The minimum transmission unit in the time domain is an SC-FDMA symbol 202, and NsymbUL SC-FDMA symbols form one slot 206. Then, two slots form one subframe 205. The minimum transmission unit in the frequency domain is a subcarrier, and the total system transmission bandwidth 204 is composed of a total of NBW subcarriers. The NBW has a value proportional to the system transmission band.

The basic unit of resources in the time-frequency domain is a resource element (RE) 212, which can be defined as an SC-FDMA symbol index and a subcarrier index. A resource block pair (RB pair) 208 is defined as NsymbUL consecutive SC-FDMA symbols in the time domain and NscRB consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. Therefore, one RB consists of NsymbUL x NscRB REs. In general, the minimum transmission unit of data or control information is RB unit. In case of PUCCH, it is mapped to a frequency region corresponding to 1 RB and transmitted for 1 sub-frame.

1C shows a radio resource of 1 RB which is a minimum unit that can be downlink-scheduled in the LTE / LTE-A system. A plurality of different types of signals may be transmitted to the radio resource shown in FIG.

1. CRS (Cell Specific RS): A reference signal transmitted periodically for all UEs belonging to one cell and can be commonly used by a plurality of UEs.

2. Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS): This is a reference signal transmitted for a specific terminal and is transmitted only when data is transmitted to the terminal. The DMRS can be composed of a total of 8 DMRS ports. In LTE / LTE-A, port 7 to port 14 correspond to the DMRS port, and ports maintain orthogonality so that they do not interfere with each other using CDM or FDM.

3. PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel): A data channel transmitted in the downlink, which is used by a base station to transmit traffic to a mobile station, and is transmitted using an RE in which a reference signal is not transmitted in the data region of FIG.

4. CSI-RS (Channel Status Information Reference Signal): Used to measure the channel status of a reference signal transmitted for UEs belonging to one cell. A plurality of CSI-RSs can be transmitted to one cell.

5. Other control channels (PHICH, PCFICH, PDCCH): The terminal provides ACK / NACK to provide control information necessary to receive the PDSCH or HARQ for uplink data transmission.

Since the channel estimation performance directly affects the demodulation performance as a reference signal used for demodulating a signal received through channel estimation in the case of CRS and DMRS in the signal, a transmission interval between the frequency and the time of the reference signal considering the channel estimation performance is maintained have. Specifically, if the intervals of the reference signals on the frequency are represented by the subcarrier spacing m of the OFDM signal and the intervals of the reference signals are represented by the symbol spacing n of the OFDM signal in time, (M, n) = (3, 4). In case of DMRS assuming normal CP, the transmission interval between frequency and time of reference signal is (m, n) = (5,7).

Unlike the LTE system, the 5G wireless communication system considers a system operating in a higher frequency band than the 6GHz frequency band. Since the channel characteristics depend on the frequency band, it is necessary to design the reference signal in consideration of this in the 5G system. In addition, low latency support and high mobility support are considered important in 5G wireless communication. In addition, it is important to minimize the overhead of the reference signal in 5G systems. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of configuring a plurality of demodulation reference signals (DMRS) and setting the DMRS (Demodulation Reference Signal) to solve this problem.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below as an example of an LTE or LTE-A system, but the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to other communication systems having a similar technical background or channel form. For example, 5G mobile communication technology developed after LTE-A (5G, new radio, NR) could be included. More specifically, the basic structure of the time-frequency domain in which signals are transmitted in downlink and uplink may be different from FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B. And the types of the signals transmitted through the uplink and the downlink may be different. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to other communication systems by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.

In the following description of the present invention, detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. The following terms are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and these may be changed according to the intention of the user, the operator, or the like. Therefore, the definition should be based on the contents throughout this specification. Hereinafter, the base station may be at least one of an eNode B, a Node B, a base station (BS), a wireless access unit, a base station controller, or a node on a network. The terminal may include a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a cellular phone, a smart phone, a computer, or a multimedia system capable of performing communication functions. In the present invention, a downlink (DL) is a wireless transmission path of a signal transmitted from a base station to a mobile station, and an uplink (UL) is a wireless transmission path of a signal transmitted from a mobile station to a base station.

The demodulation reference signal (DMRS) described below refers to a reference signal having a feature that UE-specific precoding is applied to a reference signal and the UE can perform demodulation without further receiving precoding information. The name used in However, the term DMRS can be expressed in other terms depending on the intent of the user and the intended use of the reference signal. More specifically, the term DMRS is merely a specific example of the present invention in order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. That is, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be applied to a reference signal based on the technical idea of the present invention.

The structure of various DMRS according to the use case will be described in Embodiment 1-1 of the present invention to be described below. In Embodiment 1-2 of the present invention, a method of setting a DMRS structure suitable for a transmission environment among a plurality of DMRS structures is described. In Embodiments 1-3, a method of supporting Multiple-User (MU) transmission orthogonally between terminals using different DMRS structures when a plurality of DMRS structures are supported will be described.

[Example 1-1]

Embodiment 1-1 describes a method of configuring the structure of the DMRS, which is a reference signal of the present invention, according to a transmission environment. Referring to FIG. 1C, the LTE system has one fixed DMRS structure. When the transmission layer is 2 or less, 12 DMRS REs are transmitted per RB. When the number of transmission layers exceeds 2, 24 DMRS REs are transmitted per RB do. As described above, unlike the LTE system, the 5G wireless communication system considers not only a frequency band of 6 GHz or lower but also a system operating in a higher frequency band. Since the channel characteristics vary depending on the frequency band, the DMRS in the 5G system needs to be designed differently from the structure of the DMRS in LTE. In addition, low latency support and high mobility support are considered important for 5G systems. Therefore, a number of DMRS structures according to the transmission environment are required. For example, to support low latency, the DMRS needs to be located on the transmission time axis in order to perform channel estimation fast. In order to support high mobility, a reference signal It is necessary to increase the density. Finally, reference signals such as CRS may not be supported in 5G systems. Generally, CRS has high density of reference signal, which guarantees channel estimation performance even in low SINR range (-10 ~ 0dB), but it can be difficult to guarantee channel estimation performance in low SINR range only by DMRS. Therefore, as suggested in the present invention, in order to configure the structure of the DMRS variously according to the transmission environment, it is necessary to set a location where the DMRS can be transmitted. Accordingly, the base station can set and transmit a DMRS structure necessary for the transmittable DMRS position. The terminal needs to know the possible locations where the DMRS can be transmitted. In the 5G wireless communication system, unlike the LTE system, the frame structure can be configured in various ways, and it can be operated with a variable TTI (Transmission Time Interval), so it is necessary to specify the location of the DMRS separately. Also, unlike in LTE, the number of OFDM symbols and the number of subcarriers on the frequency may vary with the time of forming the subframe. In the present invention, in most of the drawings, it is assumed that the number of OFDM symbols constituting a subframe and the number of subcarriers on a frequency constituting a resource block are assumed to be equal to LTE, but this can be varied. For example, referring to FIG. 1F, a DMRS structure is shown for a case where the number of subcarriers on a frequency band constituting a resource block is 12 and 16, respectively. Specifically, the setting of the position where the DMRS can be transmitted is divided into the position in time and the position in frequency, and it can be set as a combination thereof. First of all, we can consider the following two scenarios where DMRS can be transmitted. The first scheme is a case where the position of the time when the DMRS is transmitted is set based on the subframe. This is a method considering the position setting for a transmission resource in a unit of a subframe in general. For example, suppose that x denotes a subframe duration, and the position of the DMRS is set in units of y = x / 2. More specifically, referring to FIG. 1F, the DMRS position is set to x = 14 OFDM symbols and the position of the DMRS is set to a unit of y = 7, and the time position of the DMRS settable in the subframe is 3/6/9/12 th OFDM symbol . The second scheme is a case where the position of the time in which the DMRS is transmitted is set based on the starting point of the data channel (ex. PDSCH) to which the DMRS is allocated. Unlike the LTE system, the 5G wireless communication system considers that the interval during which a data channel is transmitted in a subframe may be variously set. For example, the time position of the DMRS that can be set based on the start point of the data channel may be a 1/4/7/10 th OFDM symbol. Next, the position on the frequency at which the DMRS can be transmitted can be set to a position having at least two densities in consideration of a channel environment considering various numerologies covered by the 5G communication system. For example, in FIG. 1fab, positions of two frequencies on which DMRS can be transmitted are shown as 1fa-4-1 and 1fa-4-2. As described above, the setting of the position at which the DMRS can be transmitted can be set to a combination of the position in time and the position in frequency, and the DMRS setting actually used may be set to a possible combination of subset. Also, the transmitted DMRS structure may be implicitly determined according to the position in time and the number of DMRS layers transmitted, in which the DMRS described above can be transmitted. Specifically, when the DMRS structure proposed in FIGS. 1faa and 1fab is used as a reference, if the DMRS is set only for one OFDM symbol in the temporal direction to support low latency as shown in FIGS. 1fa-2-1 and 1fa-2-2, The UE can distinguish the DMRS structure according to the number of layers transmitted. If the number of transmitted layers is 4 or less, the reference signal can be allocated more dense on the frequency by being set to 1fa-2-2. If the number of transmitted layers is larger than 4, a reference signal having a low density on the frequency can be allocated as shown in FIG. 1fa-2-1. However, it is noted that it is difficult to guarantee channel estimation performance with a reference signal having a low density as shown in FIG. 1fa-2-1. Alternatively, when the DMRS is set to two OFDM symbols in time as in the case of 1fa-3-1 and 1fa-3-2, if the number of transmitted layers is 4 or less as in the above case, The reference signal can be more dense. If the number of transmitted layers is larger than 4, a reference signal having a low density on the frequency can be allocated as shown in FIG. 1fa-3-1. On the other hand, when DMRS is set to four OFDM symbols in order to support high Doppler as shown in FIG. 1Fa-4-1 and FIG. 1Fa-4-2, if the number of transmitted layers is 4 or less, And the reference signal can be allocated. In this case, consideration is given to a case where the overhead of the reference signal becomes too large if the reference signal is assigned more dense on the frequency. If the number of transmitted layers is larger than 4, the reference signal can be allocated as shown in FIG. 1fa-4-2. However, it is noted that the probability that the number of transmission layers is higher than 4 is very low. Note that OCC = 4 is assumed when the number of transmitted layers is 4 or more, but OCC = 2 when the number of transmitted layers is 2 or less. The above example can also be applied to other DMRS structures similarly. More specifically, the unified principle can be applied to the case where the number of subcarriers on the frequency side is 16 in Fig. 1fba and Fig. 1fbb.

Next, we propose a method to perform Doppler frequency measurement, phase noise compensation, and frequency offset correction using DMRS. In the conventional LTE system, it is possible to perform such an operation using the CRS. However, in the 5G communication system, when there is no signal to go out every subframe in the full band like CRS, the Doppler frequency measurement, the phase noise compensation, it may be difficult to perform operations such as offset correction. In order to perform such an operation, a reference signal with a high temporal density is required. For example, when the DMRS is set to only one OFDM symbol in the time for supporting low latency, it is impossible to perform such an operation using the DMRS . Therefore, the base station sets DMRS with high time density in on-demand manner, and can perform operations such as Doppler frequency measurement, phase noise compensation, and frequency offset correction. More specifically, in order to perform such operations, the base station performs dynamic signaling, and the terminal performs operations such as Doppler frequency measurement, phase noise compensation, and frequency offset correction using the set DMRS. For example, one bit can be added to DCI (Dynamic control information) for signaling.

Supporting a plurality of DMRS structures in the embodiment 1-1 may be different from the one having a fixed DMRS structure in the existing LTE system as follows. First, unlike conventional LTE, the number of DMRS REs allocated per antenna port may not be fixed. For example, in an LTE system, the number of DMRS REs allocated per antenna port is always fixed to 12. However, if a plurality of DMRS structures are supported, the number of DMRS REs allocated per antenna port can be changed according to the structure of the DMRS used. Also, the number of ports supported may vary depending on the DMRS structure. For example, in an environment requiring high reference signal overhead, it is difficult to support high rank, so that only the minimum antenna port can be supported, thereby minimizing the overhead of the reference signal. A concrete example of the above-mentioned differentiation can be confirmed through the various DMRS structures proposed below.

For the above reasons, the first through eleventh embodiments of the present invention propose various DMRS structures according to the transmission environment. FIG. 1d shows a first example of the proposed various DMRS structures. FIG. 1D shows a structure in which the DMRS can be transmitted by occupying one OFDM symbol. More specifically, although the position of the DMRS is located in the third and eleventh OFDM symbols in FIG. 1D-1, the position of the DMRS proposed in FIG. 1D is not limited thereto. For example, the position of the DMRS in FIG. 1d-1 may be transmitted in the third and twelfth OFDM symbols for time balance. In addition, the position of the DMRS may vary if the 5G system has a basic structure in a time-frequency domain different from that of the LTE / LTE-A system. In order to support low latency, the position of the DMRS may be transmitted only in the third OFDM symbol as shown in FIG. 1d-2. In this case, if the signal is received only up to the third OFDM symbol, the channel estimation is possible and the operation of demodulating the received signal quickly becomes possible. In order to support high mobility, the position of the DMRS can be transmitted in three OFDM symbols in time as shown in FIG. 1D-3. The generation of the DMRS signal may be generated based on the pseudo-random sequence similar to the downlink DMRS in the LTE or may be generated based on the Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence similar to the uplink DMRS in the LTE . When the uplink / downlink has the same DMRS structure, the DMRS signal generation can also orthogonally support the uplink / downlink DMRS ports when the uplink / downlink is the same.

Also, it is possible to support a plurality of DMRS ports by applying OCC (Orthogonal cover code) in the frequency domain in FIG. 1D. In the case of applying OCC to frequency, there is an advantage that power imbalance problem that may occur when OCC is applied in time does not occur. An example of this is shown in FIG. Here, an OCC application example is shown for a case where the number of subcarriers on the frequency is 16. In FIG. 1E, the DMRS port number is numbered from the 7th port to the 14th port based on the LTE system, which is an illustrative example. For example, the port number used in a 5G system may be different. More specifically, FIG. 1E-1 shows an application example of OCC applied when two ports 7 and 8 are transmitted. An OCC having an OCC length of 2 may be applied at positions where ports 7 and 8 are indicated as shown in FIG. 1e-1. Therefore, when two ports are transmitted as shown in FIG. 1E-1, the DMRS may not be transmitted to all the resources of the OFDM symbol. The sequence for OCC is shown in [Table 1-2]. In Table 1-2,

Are all used. As described above, [Table 1-2] is numbered from port 7 to port 14 based on the LTE system, but this is an example for explanation. For example, the port number used in a 5G system may be different. 1E-2 shows an application example of OCC applied when four ports 7/8/9/10 are transmitted. An OCC having an OCC length of 2 can be applied at a position indicated by port 7/8/9/10 as shown in FIG. 1E-2. As shown in the figure, when four or more ports are transmitted, the DMRS can be transmitted to all the resources of the OFDM symbol. Next, FIG. 1e-3 shows an application example of OCC when 8 ports are transmitted. When more ports than four ports are used as in FIG. 1e-3, OCC length 4 is used. Although FIG. 1E shows an example of OCC application for the case where 2/4/8 ports are transmitted, the application of 8 or fewer other ports can be easily extended from the example of FIG. 1E. For example, if only three ports are transmitted, only port 7/8/9 in FIG. 1e-1 is transmitted, so port 7/8 can be transmitted by applying OCC of length 2 at the corresponding position in FIG. 1e-1 However, the port 9 does not have the OCC of length 2 because there is no other port at the corresponding position of FIG. 1e-1.

OCC 및 안테나 포트 매핑 방법은 도 1fb-1-2와 1fb-1-3에서 도시한 바와 같이 이루어 질 수 있으며 자세한 동작은 도 1fa-1-2와 1fa-1-3에서와 동일하다. 하지만 본 발명에서 OCC가 적용되는 방법은 이에 한정하지 않는다. 도 1fba 및 도 1fbb에서 제안되는 방법은 도 1fb-1-1에 나타난 DMRS위치가 전송 상황에 따라서 flexible하게 사용될 수 있으나 도 1fb-2-1/1fb-3-1/1fb-3-2/1fb-4-1는 구성 가능한 DMRS 위치의 일례를 나타내는 도면이다. Next, Figs. 1faa, 1fab, 1fba and 1fbb show a second example of the proposed various DMRS structures. Figures 1faa, 1fab, 1fba, and 1fbb are modified constructions of the forms shown in Figures 1d and 1e above. Specifically, a structure for more efficiently operating the overhead of the reference signal than the method shown in FIG. 1D and FIG. 1E through the DMRS position configuration and the antenna port mapping method on the proposed frequency is proposed. The generation of the DMRS signal may be generated based on the pseudo-random sequence similar to the downlink DMRS in the LTE or may be generated based on the Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence similar to the uplink DMRS in the LTE . 1Fa and 1Fab show the structure when the number of subcarriers on the frequency constituting the resource block is 12. Fig. 1Fba and Fig. 1bbb show the structure when the number of subcarriers on the frequency constituting the resource block is 16. First, Fig. 1Fa and Fig. 1Fab will be described. The method proposed in Figs. 1faa and 1fab can be used flexibly according to the transmission situation, as shown in Fig. 1fa-1-1. The OCC and antenna port mapping method can be performed as shown in Figs. 1fa-1-2 and 1fa-1-3. In Table 1-2,

Are all used. In FIGs. 1fa-1-2 and 1fa-1-3, the DMRS port numbers are numbered from the 7th port to the 14th port based on the LTE system, but this is an illustrative example. For example, the port number used in a 5G system may be different. Referring to FIG. 1f-1-2, when a reference signal is not transmitted in a portion indicated by orange and a reference signal is transmitted only in a portion indicated in blue, two ports 7/8 are applied with OCC = 2, Or four ports 7/8/11/13 can be transmitted with OCC = 4 applied. On the other hand, when 8 ports are transmitted from ports 7 to 14, port 7/8/11/13 is transmitted with OCC = 4 applied in the position indicated in blue, and port 9/10/12/14 is transmitted OCC = 4 can be transmitted in the position indicated by orange. First, referring to FIG. 1fa-1-3, two ports 7/8 can be transmitted in a portion indicated by blue with OCC = 2 applied. Four ports 7/8/11/13 may be transmitted in the blue portion with OCC = 4 applied. More specifically, FIGS. 1Fa-1-2 are methods for minimizing the overhead of the reference signal when the channel state is good, and FIGS. 1Fa-1-3 improve the channel estimation performance by further using the reference signal when the channel state is not good. . In FIGS. 1Fa-1-2 and 1Fa-1-3, a method in which the OCC is applied in the frequency domain is described, but the method in which the OCC is applied is not limited thereto. As described above, the DMRS position shown in FIG. 1Fa-1-1 can be flexibly used according to the transmission situation, but the method shown in FIG. 1Fa and FIG. -1 / 1fa-3-2 / 1fa-4-1 / 1fa-4-2 is an example of a DMRS position configurable according to the transmission situation. An embodiment of this will be described with reference to the above description. As described above, Fig. 1Fba and Fig. 1Fbb show the structure when the number of frequency subcarriers constituting the resource block is 16. The operation method for this is the same as in FIGS. 1Fa and 1Fab, and therefore, detailed description thereof will be omitted. The OCC and antenna port mapping method can be performed as shown in FIGS. 1Fb-1-2 and 1Fb-1-3, and detailed operations are the same as in FIGS. 1Fa-1-2 and 1Fa-1-3. However, the method in which the OCC is applied in the present invention is not limited thereto. The method proposed in FIG. 1fba and FIG. 1fbb can be used flexibly according to the transmission situation, but the DMRS position shown in FIG. 1fb-1-1 can be flexibly used, -4-1 is a diagram showing an example of a configurable DMRS position.

Finally, FIG. 1g shows a third example of the proposed various DMRS structures. 1G is a structure in which the DMRS has a form similar to the current LTE system. Therefore, the OCC and antenna port mapping method applied in the DMRS of the LTE can be applied as it is. However, in the present invention, it is noted that the DMRS structure of the existing LTE system is not applied as it is, but the DMRS structure that depends on the channel environment must be considered in order to satisfy the next generation communication requirement. In other words, a method of constructing various DMRS structures by OFDM symbol according to the transmission environment is extended by extending the DMRS structure of the existing LTE system. FIG. 1G-1 shows the possible positions of the DMRS in a general channel state. FIG. 1G-2 shows a structure in which additional DMRS is mapped on the time axis to support high mobility. 1G-3-1 and 1G-3-2 show a method of lowering the DMRS density on the frequency axis in order to minimize the overhead of the reference signal in an environment with small channel delay. Finally, to support low latency, a DMRS structure such as 1g-4-1 and 1g-4-2 can be used. As shown in FIG. 1G-4-1, when the position of the DMRS is transmitted only in the front OFDM symbol, only up to 4-layer transmission can be supported.

1D, 1Fa, 1Fab, 1Fba, 1Fbb and 1G, various DMRS structures according to transmission environments are shown. However, the DMRS structure in the present invention is not limited to the structure shown in the 1-1th embodiment. Therefore, the DMRS structure different from those of Figs. 1D, 1Fa, 1Fab, 1Fba, 1Fbb and 1g may be applied to the 1-2th embodiment and the 1-3th embodiment below. Although the structure of the DMRS is described based on the downlink in the embodiment 1-1, the same DMRS structure may be set in the uplink in the 5G system. If the uplink / downlink has the same DMRS structure, the uplink / downlink DMRS ports can be operated more flexibly in an environment like TDD because of orthogonal canceling.

[Example 1-1-1 Example]

The 1-1-1 embodiment proposes another method of setting the structure of the DMRS proposed in the above 1-1 embodiment. In the 1-1-1 embodiment, it is noted that the configurable DMRS structure can be divided into a front-loaded DMRS and an extended / additional DMRS. First, the front-loaded DMRS can be defined by the following two criterions.

One. The number of OFDM symbols for front-loaded DMRS

● The front-loaded DMRS is mapped over 1 or 2 adjacent OFDM symbols

■ Front-loaded DMRS is mapped on 1 OFDM symbol for low rank transmission.

■ The front-loaded DMRS is mapped on 2 adjacent OFDM symbols for high rank transmission.

2. The location of time for front-loaded DMRS

● Opt. 1: The first symbol of the front-loaded DM-RS is fixed regardless of the first symbol of NR-PDSCH.

● Opt. 2: The first symbol of the front-loaded DM-RS is no later than the first symbol of the NR-PDSCH.

Specifically, the front-loaded DMRS may be composed of one or two adjacent OFDM symbols according to the number of transmission layers (rank). Also, the front-loaded DMRS is located before the NR-PDSCH, its position can be fixed as described above, and the front-loaded RS can be located from the first symbol of the NR-PDSCH. To explain the advantages and disadvantages of Opt. 1 and Opt. 2, it can be assumed that the DMRS position of Opt. 1 is fixed, so that the DMRS of the neighboring cell is always transmitted at the same position. However, the control channel region may be configured to be configurable, or the DMRS of the data channel may not be located in a subframe in which the control channel is not transmitted, which may be vulnerable to decoding latency. On the other hand, in the case of Opt.2, the front-loaded RS is always located in the front of the data channel, which is advantageous in terms of decoding latency. However, since the position of the front-loaded RS is variable, Operation can be problematic. You can consider adding network signaling to achieve this. Generally, the fixed location of DMRS is advantageous for system operation.

Therefore, we propose a concrete method of setting the front-load DMRS to a fixed position for the above reasons. The position of the front-load DMRS is shown in FIG. 1k for the slot length of 7 or 14 OFDM symbols, respectively. Here, the position of the front-load DMRS can be determined by the area of the control channel. If the control channel region is composed of a maximum of two OFDM symbols, the front-load DMRS is located in the third OFDM symbol as in k-1. If the control channel region is composed of up to three OFDM symbols, the front-load DMRS is located in the fourth OFDM symbol as shown at k-2. As described above, if the position of the front-load DMRS is determined by the control channel region that can be set to a maximum value, if the control channel is not partially or completely set, the decoding latency may be reduced. Accordingly, the present invention proposes a method of setting the position of the front-load DMRS according to the extended method of Opt. For example, when the control channel region is composed of a maximum of two OFDM symbols, the front-load DMRS is fixed to the third OFDM symbol as in k-1, and the front-load DMRS Can be set to the first OFDM symbol. If you configure these two options according to the situation, you can compensate for the disadvantages of Option1. Specifically, setting the positions of a plurality of front-load DMRSs can be performed in various ways. For example, it is possible to consider semi-static setting by upper layer signaling such as RRC. Other methods can be used to set system information such as MIB or SIB. You can also consider how to set it dynamically via DCI. Alternatively, it is possible to set it through SPS (Semi-persistent scheduling).

Next, Extended / Additional DMRS is explained. The front-loaded DMRS described above has difficulty in accurately estimating the channel because it is impossible to treble the channel that changes rapidly in time in the high-doppler situation. In addition, it is impossible to perform correction for frequency offset only with front-loaded DMRS. For this reason, additional DMRS needs to be transmitted behind the location where the front-loaded DMRS is transmitted in the slot. The location of the Extended / Additional DMRS is illustrated in FIGS. 1 la-lf for the case where the slot length is 7 or 14 OFDM symbols, respectively. It should be noted that Figures 1 la-lf illustrate Extended / Additional DMRS for k-1, k-2, and k-3, respectively, where the location of the front-loaded DMRS is set as described in Figure 1k. Note that in FIGS. 1 and 2, the Extended / Additional DMRS location is set by avoiding the location where the CRS is transmitted in the LTE system. This can be advantageous for the effect of interference in the situation of LTE-NR coexistence. However, in the case of I-3, the position of the front-loaded DMRS overlaps with the position of the CRS in the LTE system as in the case of k-3. If the length of the slot is 14 OFDM symbols, the location of Extended / Additional DMRS can be set to one as shown in FIGS. 1 a to 1 lf, whereas if the slot length is 14 OFDM symbols, Needs to be set to two depending on the Doppler situation. For example, in the environment where the channel changes rapidly, the location of the Extended / Additional DMRS can be set as shown in I-1-2. In an environment where the channel changes very rapidly, It is necessary to set the location of Extended / Additional DMRS as in 1-3. In this embodiment, FIG. 1K and FIGS. 1 la to 1If show the basic positions in which the DMRS is set, and it is noted that the DMRS transmission location can be additionally set when the DMRS transmission layer increases. This will be described in more detail by way of DMRS port multiplexing in FIG. Also, in case of Extended / Additional DMRS, DMRS overhead problem may occur due to setting of multiple DMRS in time. Therefore, in this case, it is possible to reduce the DMRS overhead by setting the DMRS having a low density on the frequency. Note that the above-described Unit DMRS structure allows the above-described front-load DMRS and Extended / Additional DMRS to operate more flexibly.

Specifically, the DMRS structure proposed by the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the present invention, a unit DMRS structure based on one OFDM symbol is proposed. The Unit DMRS structure based on one OFDM symbol is advantageous for setting the position of the reference signal for various TTIs (Transmission Time Interval), as well as for supporting low latency and setting a reference signal position for URLLC, It may also be advantageous in terms of scalability such as antenna port expansion. As shown in FIG. 1M, 12 subcarriers may be included in one OFDM symbol based on PRB, which is the minimum transmission unit of data. The density of the DMRS SC (subcarrier) in one OFDM symbol can be configurable as in the identification numbers 3m10, 3m20, and 3m30. The identification number 3m10 and the identification number 3m20 indicate the DMRS structure in the case of having four and eight DMRS SCs in 12 subcarriers respectively, and the identification number 3m30 indicates the DMRS structure in which all the subcarriers are composed of the DMRS SCs. The configuration of even number of DMRS SC at identification numbers 3m10 and 3m20 may be advantageous if orphan RE does not occur when SFBC is considered as a transmit diversity scheme. An SC that is not used as a DMRS SC at identification numbers 3m10 and 3m20 can also enter other signals, such as data or other reference signals, or emptied for DMRS power boosting. Emptying SCs that are not used as DMRS SCs for DMRS power boosting can be used to improve the performance of DMRS channel estimation in low SNR regions. The DMRS structure of Figure 1m can be used not only in the data channel but also in other channels such as the control channel. Some of these DMRS structures can be used as direct current (DC) subcarriers because there are subcarriers in which the DMRS structure shown in identification numbers 3m10 and 3m20 are not DMRS transmitted. However, since DMRS is transmitted in all subcarriers, the DMRS structure of identification number 3m30 needs to be punctured in order to transmit DCs. Also, the DMRS structure having the identification number 3m10 may be replaced with the structure having the identification number 3m40 in consideration of the DC subcarrier. The DMRS SC shown in FIGS. 3M10 to 3M40 may be generated based on a pseudo-random (PN) sequence or may be generated based on a Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence. An example of a more specific utilization method is that the DMRS structure with identification number 3m10 (or 3m40) and 3m20 can be used in the CP-OFDM system. And can be set and used at the same time-frequency position on the uplink / downlink. If the uplink / downlink has the same DMRS structure, the DMRS port of the uplink / downlink can orthogonal cancel due to better channel estimation than the TDD environment. In contrast, the DMRS structure of identification number 3m30 is based on a Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence similar to LTE and can be used in a DFT-s-OFDM system in the uplink. This can enable operation for low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) similar to LTE. However, the present invention is not limited to the utilization methods of FIGS. 3M10 to 3M40. For example, the DMRS structure with identification number 3m30 may be used for both CP-OFDM / DFT-s-OFDM and uplink / downlink.

In FIG. 1N, a method of mapping an antenna port to the unit DMRS structure proposed in FIG. 1M will be described. For convenience, the antenna ports are denoted as p = A, B, C, D,. Note, however, that the antenna port number may be represented by a different number. Here, the mapping of the antenna port is to support multiple layer transmission and rank. Therefore, the antenna port matching specified below can be replaced with the term layer transmission or rank support. Specifically, the identification number 3n10 and the identification number 3n20 represent a case where two antenna ports are mapped to the DMRS structure of the identification number 3m10. The identification number 3n10 indicates a method in which two antenna ports p = A and B are mapped to FDM / CDM by applying an OCC (Orthogonal Cover Code) of length 2. The identification number 3n10 is padded by FDM method without applying OCC, B are mapped. Next, the identification number 3n30 and the identification number 3n40 are used to map two antenna ports to the DMRS structure of the identification number 3m20. The DMRS of identification number 3m20 can improve the channel estimation performance by increasing the density of the reference signal as compared with the identification number 3m10. The identification number 3n30 shows a method in which two antenna ports p = A and B are mapped to FDM / CDM by applying OCC of length 2, and identification number 3n40 is mapped to p = A and B by FDM without applying OCC Lt; / RTI > Next, the identification number 3n50 and the identification number 3n60 are mapped to four antenna ports in the DMRS structure of the identification number 3m20. In particular, if four antenna ports are supported, the subcarrier in which the DMRS is not transmitted in the DMRS structure having the identification number 3m20 may be empty to improve the channel estimation performance, and may be used for DMRS power boosting. The identification number 3n50 shows a method in which four antenna ports p = A, B, C, and D are mapped to FDM / CDM by applying OCC and FDM of length 2 and identification number 3n60 is padded with FDM method without applying OCC , B, C, and D are mapped. The application of the OCC in the frequency domain in the identification numbers 3n10, 3n30, and 3n50 has an advantage that the power imbalance problem does not occur. In case of LTE system, there is a power imbalance problem when OCC is applied in time, and OCC is different in every PRB in two PRBs. Finally, the identification number 3n70 shows the DMRS structure of the identification number 3m30, and since 12 subcarriers are all used as the DMRS in the identification number 3n30, a method of supporting the orthogonal DMRS antenna port using ZC (Zadoff-Chu) have. At this time, as in LTE, assuming subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz and applying 8 cyclic shift (CS) fields, up to 8 orthogonal antenna ports can be supported. Another way to utilize the 3m30 DMRS structure is to support four orthogonal antenna ports by FDM at four subcarrier intervals. The present invention is not limited to the method in which the antenna port is mapped to the DMRS structure proposed in FIGs. 3n10 to 3n70. For example, in the case of the identification number 3m30, as shown in FIG. 3n80, the DMRS SC is FDM and supports up to 8 orthogonal antenna ports by applying four cyclic shift fields. In the operation method as shown in FIG. 3n80, all subcarriers are used when supporting a high rank. However, in an environment using a low rank, only some subcarriers are used as reference signals and the rest can be used for data transmission. For example, in case of transmission of rank 4 or less in FIG. 3n80, orthogonality may be supported by four CSs using only the reference signal of odd subcarriers, and the remaining six even subcarriers may be used for data transmission.

In FIG. 10, a larger number of antenna ports are mapped to the proposed Unit DMRS structure than that shown in FIG. 1M. In order to map a larger number of antenna ports than that shown in FIG. 1N, the TDM, FDM, and CDM may be additionally provided in the unit DMRS structure. Referring to FIG. 3M20, as shown in FIG. 3O10, FIG. 3M20 is time-shifted in time to map a maximum of eight antenna ports. 3O20 shows a case where TDM is performed with three OFDM symbols in time and a maximum of 16 antenna port mapping extensions are possible. In case of extending the orthogonal antenna port using TDM, the RS density on the frequency is maintained, but the density of the DMRS increases in the transmission unit. In order to keep the density of DMRS low in transmission unit, considering higher rank is supported in environment with very good channel condition and low selectivity of frequency channel, we consider a method of extending orthogonal antenna port using FDM or CDM . As shown in FIG. 3O30, FIG. 3M20 shows a method of mapping up to eight antenna ports by FDM on the frequency. Also, as shown in FIG. 3O40, it is possible to map up to 8 antenna ports by applying an OCC length of 8 to FIG. 3m20. Next, when all subcarriers are composed of DMRS SC as shown in FIG. 3M30, various antenna ports can be extended according to the antenna port mapping method applied in FIG. 3M30 as described above. If the subcarrier interval is assumed to be 15 kHz and the ZC sequence is CS to support 8 orthogonal antenna ports in FIG. 3M30, 16 orthogonal antenna ports can be extended by applying TDM as shown in FIG. If FDM is used at four subcarrier intervals in FIG. 3M30, up to four orthogonal antenna ports can be supported. However, if additional FDM is considered as shown in FIG. 3O30, if FDM is used at 8 subcarrier intervals, Support is available. The present invention is not limited to the antenna port extending method shown in FIG. TDM, FDM, and CDM, and it is possible to extend an orthogonal antenna port in various ways. For example, as described above, when the number of antenna ports is increased by using only TDM as in FIG. 3O10 or FIG. 3O20, the density of DMRS increases in the transmission unit. To overcome this disadvantage, a CDM with an OCC length of 4 may be applied based on two consecutive slots as shown in FIG. 3 o60 or TDM based on two consecutive slots as shown in FIG. 3O50 and FIG. 3O60, the time unit in which TDM or CDM is applied in FIGS. 3O50 and 3O60 is not limited to the slot. Also, unlike the method of mapping up to 8 antenna ports by applying the OCC length 8 as in FIG. 3O40, if the DMRS is generated as a ZC sequence, it is possible to support additional antenna ports using CS as shown in FIG. Do. As shown in FIG. 3 o 70, when the CS is used instead of the OCC, the RS density on the frequency is maintained.

[Example 1-2]

The first to second embodiments describe a method in which a base station sets up a DMRS structure suitable for a transmission environment among a plurality of DMRS structures. When a plurality of DMRS structures are supported as in the first embodiment of the present invention and the DMRS structure suitable for the transmission environment can be set up as in the first embodiment, Thus, the overhead of the reference signal can be optimized according to the transmission environment. More specifically, it is necessary to improve the channel estimation performance by setting a DMRS structure with a high overhead of the reference signal in a low SNR or high-speed environment. On the other hand, in a high SNR or low speed environment, it is necessary to improve the transmission efficiency by setting a DMRS structure with a low reference signal overhead. Thus, if the reference signal is adaptively transmitted to the transmission environment, unnecessary overhead of the reference signal can be minimized and the performance of the system can be maximized.

Below, a method of establishing a DMRS structure suitable for a transmission environment will be described in more detail. The DMRS configuration suitable for the transmission environment of the base station proposed in the present invention can be semi-static or dynamically set. Also, the DMRS structure suitable for the transmission environment may be implicitly set. First, a method of semi-static setting of a DMRS structure suitable for a transmission environment of a base station will be described. The simplest way to set the DMRS structure semi-static is to configure the structure of the DMRS through higher layer signaling. More specifically, different DMRS structures can be signaled by setting the DMRS-StructureId in the RRC as shown in [Table 1-3e] below. In [Table 1-3], maxDMRS-Structure shows the number of configurable DMRS structures, and each set value can represent different DMRS structures. Therefore, the DMRS structure can be set semi-static via the RRC, and the UE can recognize the structure of the currently transmitted DMRS by viewing the value set in the RRC.

[Table 1-3]

For example, the DMRS structure can be divided into two structures, a front-loaded DMRS and an extended / additional DMRS. In this case, the value of the maxDMRS-Structure in Table 1-3 is set to 1, 0 indicates the front-loaded DMRS, and 1 indicates the Extended / Additional DMRS. In Table 1-3, the DMRS-sturctureID may be changed to DMRS-configureID or some other terminology. As another example, the value of maxDMRS-Structure can be increased to 1 or more when there is more than one structure of Extended / Additional DMRS. Also, as described in the 1-1-1 embodiment, when the DMRS density in the frequency domain is adjusted in the unit DMRS structure, the maxDMRS-Structure value can be set to a larger value. As another example, the DMRS time / frequency density can be set through additional configuration, as opposed to the front-loaded DMRS and Extended / Additional DMRS configurations. More specifically, it may be set as shown in Table 1-4 below.

[Table 1-4]

Next, a method of dynamically setting a DMRS structure suitable for a transmission environment is described. If the information on the DMRS is set in the MAC CE in a manner similar to the method of setting the DMRS information in the RRC, information on the DMRS structure can be set more dynamically. Next, the simplest way to dynamically set up the DMRS structure is to send information about the DMRS structure to the DCI. In this case, a DCI format in which a field for dynamically operating the DMRS structure is not applied for the basic operation can be defined separately. If the DMRS structure is set using the DCI, it is possible to dynamically change the DMRS structure, thereby improving the transmission efficiency. On the other hand, there is a disadvantage that DCI overhead occurs to operate it. More specifically, a method of setting the DMRS structure using the DCI will be described. Basically, as the structure of various reference signals is supported, the number of bits needed to signal it to the DCI will increase. However, the DMI is applied to the DCI field by using 1-2 bits as shown in [Table 1-4] Information about the structure of the < / RTI > For example, [Table 1-4] shows an example in which the structure of the reference signal is operated using two bits using 1 bit.

[Table 1-4]

As another example, [Table 1-5] shows an example of the case where the structure of the reference signal is operated by 4 bits using 2 bits. The low density2 field in [Table 1-5] may be set to a field that does not transmit the DMRS if necessary. The application to this will be described in the first to third embodiments. As described in the embodiment 1-1, the DMRS structure may be determined by a combination of the signaling in [Table 1-4] and [Table 1-5] and the number of DMRS transmission layers used.

[Table 1-5]

Unlike the method of signaling the RS density using the [Table 1-4] or [Table 1-5] as a method of transmitting information about the DMRS structure to the DCI as described above, And may specifically signal the location in time that the DMRS can be transmitted as described above. In the first embodiment, a position in time when the DMRS is transmitted is set based on a subframe and a starting point of the allocated data channel (ex, PDSCH) As shown in Fig. At this time, it is possible to signal to the DCI information on the time position in which the DMRS is transmitted. For example, when the position of the time when the DMRS is transmitted is set based on the subframe is used, when the x denotes the subframe duration, the position of the DMRS may be set in the unit of y = x / 2 have. In this case, it is possible to indicate whether the DMRS density is high or low in y units using only 1 or 2 bits. Specifically, a lower DMRS density may be a DMRS composed of one OFDM symbol, and a higher DMRS density may be a DMRS composed of two OFDM symbols. Also, the DMRS structure may be determined by a combination of the number of DMRS transmission layers used together. Specific examples thereof are described in Example 1-1.

In addition, it may be inefficient to transmit a field indicating the DMRS structure every time transmission is performed through the DCI. Therefore, a method of transmitting the field indicating the DMRS structure through the DCI only at a predetermined time interval may be considered. However, in this case, since the structure of the reference signal can be changed only when the field indicating the DMRS structure is transmitted, dynamic operation of the DMRS structure may be difficult compared to the above method.

Finally, a method of implicitly setting a DMRS structure suitable for a transmission environment is described. The first method is to set different DMRS structures according to TM (Transmission mode). More specifically, TM A is set to a reference signal having a high density, TM B is set to a reference signal having a normal density, and TM C can be set to a reference signal having a low density. In this case, TM A can be set to TM to support high mobility, and TM C can be set to TM to support low latency. Alternatively, one TM defines two DCI formats, one of which is configured as a reference signal structure for transmitting the characteristics of the TM, and the other is configured in a fallback mode similar to DCI format 1A in LTE And can be set as a reference signal having a high density. In this case, the UE can determine which DMRS structure is applied from the currently set TM mode or DCI format information.

The second method differs in the structure of the reference signal applied according to the modulation and coding scheme (MCS). Specifically, in a region where a low MCS is set, a reference signal having a high density may be mapped to improve channel estimation performance, and a reference signal having a low density may be mapped in a region where a high MCS is set. In this case, the UE can implicitly know the structure of the reference signal transmitted from the received MCS information. The third method is a method in which different DMRS structures are set according to the frame structure. More specifically, the self-contained frame structure is set in an OFDM symbol ahead of the DMRS as shown in FIG. 1f-2-1 / 1fa-2-2. In the general frame structure, It can be assumed that the DMRS is set to two OFDM symbols in time, as in 3-2. In case of PDCCH in the common search space based on the LTE system, the structure of the reference signal for the PDSCH connected to the common search space can be mapped to have a high density. Similarly, when a PDCCH in a UE-specific search space is viewed, the reference signal for the PDSCH connected to the PDSCH can be mapped to a reference signal having a low density by referring to the PDCCH connected to the common search space. This is to improve the channel estimation performance because the common search space contains important information that all terminals should see. In this case, the UE implicitly recognizes the structure of the reference signal from the search space.

[Examples 1-3]

Unlike the existing LTE system, the first to third embodiments can support multiple-user transmission using different DMRS structures when a plurality of DMRS structures are supported. In this case, We propose a method to maintain orthogonality of DMRS with each other. In the 5G system, there is a method to prevent the MU transmission terminals from using the structure of a specific reference signal to prevent such a problem. However, this may result in lowering the flexibility of the MU transmission. Therefore, we propose two methods to maintain the orthogonality between MU terminals when MU is transmitted between terminals using different DMRS structures.

The first method is to perform rate matching on overlapping parts in order to maintain orthogonality when different DMRS structures are overlapped. Referring to FIG. 1H, when a UE using different DMRS structures shown in FIGS. 1H-1 and 1H-2 is transmitted as an MU, the BS performs rate matching for the region A in FIG. 1H-1 . In this method, the base station must additionally signal the rate matching information to the UE. The number of bits required for signaling may differ depending on the number of supported DMRS structures. Basically, when a plurality of DMRS structures are supported, the number of signaling bits required to inform the DMRS structure of the other MUs is increased. However, as described in Tables 1-4 and 1-5 of the first to twelfth embodiments, when the DMRS structure is simplified by two to four operations, the DMRS structure of the other terminal, which is MU to the terminal through 1-2-bit signaling, . At the same time, it is advantageous to perform power boosting on the reference signal of this part considering that different terminals rate-match the reference signal area where different DMRS structures overlap. However, unlike LTE systems, this method is no longer transparent to UE operations.

The second method is to transmit an additional reference signal to the reference signal area where the DMRS structure overlaps to maintain orthogonality when different DMRS structures overlap. In other words, the second method is a method of setting up and transmitting the same DMRS structure. Referring to FIG. 1H, when a UE using different DMRS structures shown in FIGS. 1H-1 and 1H-2 is transmitted as an MU, the BS inserts a reference signal into a region A of FIG. do. In this case, it means that the base station using the DMRS structure of FIG. 1h-1 transmits using the DMRS structure of FIG. 1H-2. Unlike the first method, when using this method, there is an advantage that additional signaling is not required to the terminal using FIG. 1h-1. Whether or not the UE additionally uses the reference signal for the region A based on FIG. 1H-1 may vary depending on the terminal implementation. However, if the UE using the 1 h-1 requires a low latency, it is necessary to perform fast signal processing instead of using the reference signal for the A region. In this case, additional signaling may be required to indicate this. The UE informs the UE of the required ACK / NACK timing through the DCI so that the UE can determine whether to use the reference signal for the region A based on FIG. 1h-1.

1H-3, 1H-4 and 1H-5 show a method of changing the DMRS density when a variable TTI (Transmission Time Interval) is applied. And we propose a method to maintain orthogonality between DMRS of MU terminals. More specifically, FIG. 1H-3 shows a case where a plurality of TTIs are combined and transmitted. At this time, it can be assumed that the same precoding is applied to the DMRS while a plurality of TTIs are transmitted. In this case, when the TTI duration is short, it may be inefficient in terms of the overhead of the reference signal to transmit in the same DMRS density as shown in FIG. 1H-3. Therefore, an example of changing the DMRS density in Figs. 1H-4 and 1H-5 is shown as a method of reducing the overhead of the reference signal. A method of setting a DMRS having a low reference signal overhead in TTI-1 and TTI-2 in FIG. 1h-4 is possible. Alternatively, there may be a method in which the DMRS is not set in the TTI-2 as shown in FIG. 1H-5. In this case, when MU transmission is performed in a TTI in which the DMRS density is changed, orthogonality may not be maintained due to a different DMRS structure using different terminals. In this case, both of the two methods of maintaining the orthogonality can be applied when the different DMRS structures described above are overlapped. More specifically, when a rate matching scheme is applied, the BS signals signaling information on rate matching to the UE using DCI before every TTI. On the contrary, when the second method is applied, when the MU transmission is performed in the TTI-2 of FIGS. 1H-4 and 1H-5 without additional signaling, the base station sets the same DMRS structure in different terminals in the TTI- Lt; / RTI > For example, the DMRS structure in TTI-1 can be transmitted in TTI-2.

In addition, we propose a method for better MU support among terminals using different OCC lengths. For example, if OCC of length 2 and OCC of length 4 are transmitted to MU, 2-layer transmission to OCC of length 4 based on Table 1-2, layer, or 2-layer transmission over ports 8 and 13. This allows orthogonal MU paring compared to two-layer transmission using ports 7 and 8 or 2-layer transmission using ports 11 and 13. As described above, numbering from port 7 to port 14 based on the LTE system in Table 1-2 is an example for explanation. For example, the port number used in a 5G system may be different. Therefore, the proposed method can be applied based on the OCC sequence corresponding to each port in Table 1-2.

And a method of transmitting and receiving the base station and the terminal in order to provide a method of establishing the base station and the terminal. In order to accomplish this, the base station and the receiving unit, the processing unit, and the transmitting unit of the terminal must operate according to the embodiments, respectively.

The terminal transmitting unit 1804 can also transmit the reference signal.

≪ Embodiment 2 >

In a wireless communication system, a base station must transmit a reference signal for estimating a channel. The UE can perform channel estimation using the reference signal and demodulate the received signal. Also, the terminal can use the reference signal to grasp the channel state and feed it back to the base station. Generally, when transmitting a reference signal, the transmission interval between the frequency and the time of the reference signal is determined in consideration of the maximum delay spread and the maximum Doppler spread of the channel. As the transmission interval between the frequency and time of the reference signal is narrowed, the channel estimation performance is improved and the demodulation performance of the signal can be improved. However, this results in increasing the overhead of the reference signal and limiting the data transmission rate.

Conventionally, 4G LTE systems operating in the 2GHz frequency band use reference signals such as CRS (cell-specific reference signal) and DMRS (demodulation reference signal) in the downlink. Assuming that the interval of the reference signal in the frequency domain is represented by a subcarrier interval m of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal and the interval of the reference signal is represented by a symbol interval n of the OFDM signal in time, , And the transmission interval between the frequency-time of the reference signal corresponding to antenna ports 1 and 2 is (m, n) = (3, 4). In case of DMRS assuming normal CP, the transmission interval between frequency and time of reference signal is (m, n) = (5,7).

Unlike the LTE system, the 5G wireless communication system considers a system operating in a higher frequency band than the 6GHz frequency band. Since the channel characteristics depend on the frequency band, it is necessary to newly design the reference signal in consideration of this in the 5G system. In addition, low latency support and high mobility support are considered important in 5G wireless communication. In addition, it is important to minimize the overhead of the reference signal in 5G systems.

In a wireless communication system, a base station must transmit a reference signal to a mobile station in order to measure a downlink channel condition. In the LTE-A (Long Term Evolution Advanced) system of the 3GPP, the UE measures the channel state between the BS and the BS using the CRS or the CSI-RS, do. The channel state basically needs to consider several factors, including the amount of interference in the downlink. The amount of interference in the downlink includes an interference signal generated by an antenna belonging to an adjacent base station, thermal noise, and the like, and it is important for the terminal to determine the channel condition of the downlink. For example, when transmitting a signal from a base station with one transmit antenna to a terminal with a receive antenna, the terminal calculates energy per symbol that can be received in the downlink using the reference signal received from the base station, It is necessary to determine the interference amount to be received at the same time and determine Es / Io. The determined Es / Io is converted into a data transmission rate or a value corresponding thereto, and is notified to the base station in the form of a channel quality indicator (CQI), thereby enabling the base station to transmit to the terminal at a certain data transmission rate in the downlink To be able to judge whether or not.

In the case of the LTE-A system, the UE feeds back information on the channel status of the downlink to the base station so that it can be utilized for downlink scheduling of the base station. That is, the UE measures a reference signal transmitted from the base station in the downlink, and feeds back the extracted information to the base station in a form defined by the LTE / LTE-A standard. In the LTE / LTE-A, there are three types of channel state information (CSI) fed back by the UE.

Rank Indicator (RI): The number of spatial layers that the UE can receive in the current channel state.

Precoder Matrix Indicator (PMI): Indicator for the precoding matrix preferred by the terminal in the current channel state

Channel Quality Indicator (CQI): The maximum data rate that the terminal can receive in the current channel state. The CQI can be replaced by a SINR that can be used similar to the maximum data rate, a maximum error correction coding rate and modulation scheme, and data efficiency per frequency.

The RI, PMI, and CQI are related to each other and have a meaning. For example, the precoding matrix supported by LTE / LTE-A is defined differently for each rank. Therefore, PMI values when RI has a value of 1 and PMI values when RI has a value of 2 are interpreted differently even if their values are the same. Also, when the UE determines the CQI, it is assumed that the rank value and the PMI value that the base station notified to the base station are applied to the base station. That is, when the UE reports RI_X, PMI_Y, and CQI_Z to the base station, it means that the UE can receive the data rate corresponding to CQI_Z when rank is RI_X and precoding is PMI_Y. In this way, when calculating the CQI, the MS assumes a transmission scheme to be performed by the BS so that optimized performance can be obtained when the transmission is performed according to the transmission scheme.

In LTE / LTE-A, the UE's periodic feedback is set to one of the following four feedback modes depending on what information it contains:

One. Reporting mode 1-0: RI, wideband CQI (wCQI)

2. Reporting mode 1-1: RI, wCQI, PMI

3. Reporting mode 2-0: RI, wCQI, subband CQI (sCQI)

LTE / LTE-A supports not only periodic feedback but also aperiodic feedback of the terminal. When a base station desires to acquire aperiodic feedback information of a specific UE, the Node B performs specific non-periodic feedback with an aperiodic feedback indicator included in downlink control information (DCI) for uplink data scheduling of the UE And performs uplink data scheduling of the corresponding terminal. When the UE receives the indicator set to perform aperiodic feedback in the nth subframe, the UE performs uplink transmission including the aperiodic feedback information in the data transmission in the (n + k) th subframe. Here, k is a parameter defined in the 3GPP LTE Release 11 standard, 4 in frequency division duplexing (FDD) and defined in [Table 2-1] in time division duplexing (TDD). Table 2-1 shows k values for each subframe number n in the TDD UL / DL configuration.

[Table 2-1]

If the aperiodic feedback is set, the feedback information includes RI, PMI, and CQI as in the case of periodic feedback, and RI and PMI may not be fed back according to the feedback setting. The CQI may include both wCQI and sCQI or may include only wCQI information.

As described above, unlike the LTE system, 5G wireless communication considers a system operating in a frequency band of 6 GHz or lower, as well as in a higher frequency band. In addition, low latency support and high mobility support are considered important in 5G wireless communication. In addition, it is important to minimize the overhead of the reference signal in 5G systems. Therefore, unlike the LTE system, the 5G system can support many reference signals suitable for the transmission environment. Then, the UE may need not only RI, PMI, and CQI but also additional feedback information for selecting a reference signal suitable for the transmission environment. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of feeding back information necessary for selecting a reference signal, in order to enable environment adaptive transmission of the reference signal.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below as an example of an LTE or LTE-A system, but the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to other communication systems having a similar technical background or channel form. For example, 5G mobile communication technology developed after LTE-A (5G, new radio, NR) could be included. More specifically, the method of periodically or non-periodically feeding back the channel information may be different from the LTE method described above. Although the present invention has been described with reference to the DMRS, it can be applied to other reference signals. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to other communication systems by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.

In the following description of the present invention, detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. The following terms are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and these may be changed according to the intention of the user, the operator, or the like. Therefore, the definition should be based on the contents throughout this specification. Hereinafter, the base station may be at least one of an eNode B, a Node B, a base station (BS), a wireless access unit, a base station controller, or a node on a network. The terminal may include a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a cellular phone, a smart phone, a computer, or a multimedia system capable of performing communication functions. In the present invention, a downlink (DL) is a wireless transmission path of a signal transmitted from a base station to a mobile station, and an uplink (UL) is a wireless transmission path of a signal transmitted from a mobile station to a base station.

The feedback information for selecting a reference signal suitable for the transmission environment described below is expressed by the term " pilot density indicator (PDI) ". However, the term for PDI can be expressed in other terms depending on the intent of the user and the intended use of the reference signal. For example, terms such as reference-signal density indicator (RDI), Doppler frequency indicator (DFI), delay spread indicator (DSI), or SI (SINR indicator). However, the abbreviation " PDI " is merely a specific example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention. That is, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be applied to a reference signal based on the technical idea of the present invention.

In the embodiment 2-1 of the present invention described below, feedback information that can be included in the PDI will be described. In Embodiment 2-2 of the present invention, a method of feeding back PDI will be described. In Embodiment 2-3 of the present invention, a method of operating a base station using a PDI will be described.

[Example 2-1]

The embodiment 2-1 describes information that can be included in a pilot density indicator (PDI) which is feedback information proposed in the present invention. As described above, a plurality of structures of the reference signals required according to the transmission environment can be supported. More specifically, in a High Doppler environment, it is necessary to enhance the channel estimation performance by increasing the density of the reference signal on the transmission time axis. On the other hand, in the low-Doppler environment, it is necessary to reduce the overhead of the reference signal by decreasing the density of the reference signal on the transmission time axis. In the high delay environment, it is necessary to improve the channel estimation performance by increasing the density of the reference signal on the transmission frequency axis. On the other hand, in the low delay environment, it is necessary to reduce the overhead of the reference signal by decreasing the density of the reference signal on the transmission frequency axis. In the low SNR environment, the reference signal structure with high density is needed to guarantee the channel estimation performance. In the high SNR environment, it is necessary to reduce the reference signal density to reduce the overhead of the reference signal. The Doppler information, the channel delay information, and the SINR information that determine the structure of the reference signal are all information that the terminal can grasp through measurement. Therefore, PDI, which is feedback information proposed in the present invention, may include Doppler information, channel delay information, and SINR information. However, the information that can be included in the PDI of the present invention is not limited to the above information. The UE may feed back the measured Doppler information, channel delay information, and SINR information to inform about the reference signal structure preferred in the channel environment. In the present invention, the PDI may include both Doppler information, channel delay information, and SINR information, and may include some of the information.

In the following, we explain more specifically what kind of reference signal structure the information included in the PDI would like. If the PDI includes Doppler information, the UE can determine the structure of the reference signal suitable for the channel environment by measuring the Doppler frequency. For example, the terminal can take a time correlation based on the reference signal and measure the Doppler frequency therefrom. If the Doppler frequency (Hz) is larger than X as shown in Equation (1) below, it can be shown that a reference signal having a high density is preferred over the transmission time axis.

[Equation 1]

Doppler frequency> X

를 나타낸다. 따라서 Doppler frequency는 carrier frequency와 단말 속도에 영향을 받음을 알 수 있다. 예를 들어, f=2.5GHz 그리고 v=350km/h인 경우에 Doppler frequency는 810Hz가 된다. 따라서 Doppler frequency가 800Hz이상인 경우 High Doppler환경으로 고려될 수 있으며 한가지 실시예로써 Doppler frequency에 대한 threshold X=800Hz로 설정될 수도 있다. LTE 시스템과 달리 5G 시스템에서는 단말 속도를 최대 500km/h까지 고려하기 때문에, 단말 속도를 고려하여 기준신호의 구조를 적응적으로 변화시키는 방법은 매우 효과적일 수 있다. 본 발명에서는 수학식 1에서와 같이 Doppler frequency가 X보다 큰 경우에, one bit indicator를 피드백하여 시간축상 density가 높은 기준신호를 선호함을 지시할 수 있다.In Equation (1), X (Hz) represents a threshold for the Doppler frequency. And the Doppler frequency can be expressed as Doppler frequency = f * v / c. Where f is the carrier frequency (Hz), v (m / s) is the terminal speed, c is the speed of light

. Therefore, it can be seen that the Doppler frequency is affected by the carrier frequency and the terminal speed. For example, for f = 2.5 GHz and v = 350 km / h, the Doppler frequency is 810 Hz. Therefore, if the Doppler frequency is higher than 800Hz, it can be considered as a high Doppler environment. In one embodiment, the threshold X = 800Hz for the Doppler frequency may be set. In contrast to the LTE system, the 5G system considers the terminal speed up to 500km / h. Therefore, a method of adaptively changing the structure of the reference signal considering the terminal speed can be very effective. In the present invention, when the Doppler frequency is greater than X as in Equation (1), one bit indicator may be fed back to indicate that a reference signal having a high density on the time axis is preferred.

Next, when the channel delay information is included in the PDI, the UE can determine the structure of the reference signal suitable for the channel environment by measuring the channel delay. For example, the UE can measure channel delay information using various methods based on a reference signal. For example, the UE can measure the PDP (Power Delay Profile) from the reference signal based on the frequency correlation. From the PDP information, delay spread information such as RMS delay spread or Maximum delay spread can be obtained. If the delay spread (sec) is larger than Y as shown in Equation (2) below, it may indicate that the reference signal with a high density on the transmission frequency is preferred.

&Quot; (2) "

Delay spread> Y

In Equation (2), Y (sec) represents a threshold for a delay spread. And the delay spread can be the RMS delay spread or the maximum delay spread. If it is based on the RMS delay spread, Y is set based on the RMS delay spread value and can be set differently based on the maximum delay spread value. In general, the reference signal in the existing LTE system is designed assuming worst case for channel delay. Therefore, in a low channel delay environment, the transmission efficiency can be improved by using a reference signal having a lower density in frequency. In addition, the 5G system considers the system not only in the frequency band below 6GHz but also in the higher frequency band, and accordingly, it is necessary to newly design the frequency reference signal density, unlike the existing LTE system, considering various subcarrier spacing support. In the present invention, when the delay spread is greater than Y as in Equation (2), one bit indicator may be fed back to indicate that a frequency reference on the frequency axis is preferred. However, if the reference signal is designed with a worst case assumption for the channel delay in the 5G system, an additional indication of delay information may not be required.

Finally, when the channel SINR information is included in the PDI, the UE can determine the structure of the reference signal suitable for the channel environment by measuring the SINR. For example, the UE can measure the SINR using various methods based on the received signal. If the SINR is larger than Z as shown in Equation (3) below, it can be shown that the preferred structure of the reference signal having a high density is preferred.

&Quot; (3) "

SINR> X

In Equation (3), Z represents a threshold for SNR. In general, it is important to maintain the system performance by improving the channel estimation performance using a reference signal having a high density in a low SINR range (-10 to 0 dB). Thus, as one embodiment, threshold Z = 0 dB for SINR may be set. In the present invention, when SINR is greater than Z as in Equation (3), one bit indicator may be fed back to indicate that a reference signal having a high density is preferred. However, in Equation (3), the SINR may be replaced by the CQI index defined in Table 7.2.3-1 of 3GPP LTE standard TS.36.213, the maximum error correction coding rate and modulation scheme, data efficiency per frequency, . If the SINR is replaced with the CQI index in Equation (3), the structure information of the reference signal implicitly preferred through the CQI feedback can be fed back without using additional bits. As one embodiment, when the lowest CQI is fed back, it can be indicated that a reference signal having a high density is preferred.

From the embodiment 2-1, the information that can be included in the PDI, which is the feedback information proposed by the present invention, and the method of determining which reference signal structure the terminal desires based on each information is described in Equations (1) to (3). According to the above situation, the information required for feedback may be 1 to 3 bits. However, according to need, it is possible to further refine the structure of a preferred reference signal according to the threshold value by setting a plurality of threshold values in Equations 1 to 3. In this case, the number of bits of information necessary for feedback may increase. For example, if two thresholds X1 and X2 are set for the Doppler frequency as shown in Equation 4, the structure of the preferred reference signal can be classified into three types.

&Quot; (4) "

Doppler frequency> X1 (4-1)

 X2 ≤ Doppler frequency ≤ X1 (4-2)

Doppler frequency <X2 (4-3)

In Equation (4), when there are three reference signal structures according to density on the transmission time axis, Equation 4-1 indicates that the reference signal with the highest density is preferred on the transmission time axis, Indicates that a reference signal with a middle density is preferred, and Equation 4-3 indicates that a reference signal with a low density is preferred over a transmission time axis. The above method can also be applied to equations (2) and (3).

[Example 2-2]

The embodiment 2-2 describes a method of feeding back a pilot density indicator (PDI), which is feedback information proposed by the present invention, to a base station. In the LTE / LTE-A as described above, the UE may feed back PDI along with RI, PMI, and CQI, which are channel state information fed back to the base station. In the case of using aperiodic feedback, the base station sets the non-periodic feedback indicator included in the downlink control information for uplink data scheduling of the corresponding terminal to perform the PDI feedback and includes the PDI information in the uplink data of the corresponding terminal Lt; / RTI &gt; Next, consider the case of using aperiodic feedback. In the case of aperiodic feedback, the number of bits usable for feedback may be limited, so that the information required for feedback can be limited to 1 to 3 bits using Equation 1 - Equation 3 in the above-mentioned 2-1 embodiment. The PDI feedback method proposed by the present invention can be classified as follows based on the CQI feedback of the LTE system.

One. When feedback is based on a wideband CQI (wCQI)

2. When feedback is performed based on a subband CQI (sCQI)

3. Separate feedback to wCQI and sCQI

Based on the assumption of FIG. 2A, FIG. 2D-1 shows a case where feedback is performed based on wCQI among the PDI feedback methods. 2D-1, PDI is transmitted together whenever wCQI is fed back. In this case, a reference signal suitable for the channel state can be determined on the basis of the entire band. Based on the assumption of FIG. 2B, FIG. 2D-2 shows a case of feedback based on sCQI among the PDI feedback methods. In this case, a reference signal suitable for the channel condition can be determined on the basis of the narrowband. Based on the assumption of FIG. 2B, FIG. 2D-3 illustrates a case where the PDI feedback is separately fed back to wCQI and sCQI. In this case, the reference signal suitable for the channel condition of the base station can be determined on the basis of the wide band or the narrow band.

[Example 2-3]

The second to third embodiments describe a base station operation when a pilot density indicator (PDI), which is feedback information proposed in the present invention, is fed back from a terminal to a base station. Depending on the structure of the supportable reference signal, the base station can classify the reference signal according to the environment as shown in Table 2-2 or Table 2-3 below. [Table 2-2] shows an example of operating the structure of the reference signal in two, and [Table 2-3] shows an example of operating the structure of the reference signal in four. [Table 2-2] shows an example of operating the structure of the reference signal in two, and [Table 2-3] shows an example of operating the structure of the reference signal in four. For example, when there are two structures of the reference signal that can be supported, the reference signal can be classified according to the environment through [Table 2-2].

[Table 2-2]

As another example, when there are four structures of the reference signal that can be supported, [Table 2-3] can be used to more variously distinguish the reference signal suitable for an environment.

[Table 2-3]

More specifically, the structure of the reference signal for [Table 2-3] is shown in FIG. 2E. When the transmission environment requires a low latency or a low Doppler environment, it is possible to use a structure of a reference signal having a low density on the time axis as shown in FIG. 2e-1. On the other hand, in an environment in which the transmission environment is low, it is possible to use the structure of the reference signal having a low density on the frequency as shown in FIG. 2E-2. On the other hand, in the high delay environment, it is possible to use the structure of the reference signal having a high frequency density as shown in FIG. 2e-3. In a high Doppler environment or a low SINR environment, it is possible to use a structure of a reference signal having a high density as shown in FIG. 2e-4. In other words, it is possible to interpret as follows. The structure of FIG. 2E-1 shows the structure of a reference signal corresponding to low latency / low Doppler. The structure of FIG. 2E-2 shows the structure of the reference signal corresponding to the Low delay / High SINR. The structure of FIG. 2E-3 shows the structure of a reference signal corresponding to a high delay / high SINR. And the structure of FIG. 2E-4 shows the structure of the reference signal corresponding to the High Doppler / Low SINR.

A method of determining the structure of a reference signal suitable for the environment when the base station receives the PDI, which is the feedback information proposed in the present invention, from the embodiment 2-3 is explained by way of example. The method of determining the structure of the reference signal suitable for the transmission environment by the base station through the PDI reception according to the structure of the supported reference signal as described above may be changed.

[Example 2-4]

In the present invention, when a plurality of reference signals are supported, a method of feeding back information on a reference signal preferred by the terminal is proposed. The second to fourth embodiments propose a method of setting the type and the number of reference signals that can be supported by a specific UE to UE capability when a plurality of reference signals are supported. More specifically, the base station can inform the terminal of the type of the reference signal that can be set through the UE capability signaling, and the terminal can feedback information about the preferred reference signal within the type of the reference signal that can be set through the UE capability signaling. The base station informing the terminal of the type of the reference signal that can be set through the UE capability signaling has an advantage that it can help the terminal to select a preferred reference signal within the type of the reference signal that the terminal can use. For example, the type and number of the reference signal structure that can be set according to the slot structure can be varied. Specifically, the slot structure using 14 symbols and the slot structure using 7 symbols can use different reference signal types. Further, in the structure of the minislot, it is possible to use the structure or kind of another reference signal suitable for this. Also, the types of reference signals usable according to the terminal implementation may be limited on the terminal side as well. Specifically, a specific terminal may not support all the structures of all the reference signals because the method of implementing the channel estimation for the reference signal is limited. Therefore, as in the case of the proposed method, a method for the BS to inform the UE of the type of the reference signal that can be set through the UE capability signaling and to select a preferred reference signal in the type of the available reference signal Do. Here, the UE capability signaling can be set in the upper layer signal RRC.

In order to perform the above-described embodiments of the present invention, the transmitter, receiver, and processing unit of the UE and the base station are shown in FIGS. 2F and 2G, respectively. A method for transmitting / receiving a base station and a terminal to perform transmission and reception of a pilot density indicator (PDI), which is feedback information proposed in the present invention, is shown from the second to the first embodiment to the second and third embodiments, The receiving unit, the processing unit, and the transmitting unit of the base station and the terminal must operate according to the embodiment, respectively.

2F is a block diagram illustrating an internal structure of a UE according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2F, the terminal of the present invention may include a terminal receiving unit 1800, a terminal transmitting unit 1804, and a terminal processing unit 1802. The terminal receiving unit 1800 and the terminal may be collectively referred to as a transmitting unit 1804 in the embodiment of the present invention. The transmitting and receiving unit can transmit and receive signals to and from the base station. The signal may include control information and data. To this end, the transmitting and receiving unit may include an RF transmitter for up-converting and amplifying the frequency of a transmitted signal, an RF receiver for low-noise amplifying the received signal and down-converting the frequency. The transceiving unit may receive a signal through a wireless channel, output the signal to the terminal processing unit 1802, and transmit the signal output from the terminal processing unit 1802 through a wireless channel. The terminal processor 1802 may control a series of processes so that the terminal can operate according to the embodiment of the present invention described above. For example, the terminal processing unit 1802 measures and interprets information that can be included in the PDI. In addition, the terminal transmitting unit 1804 can transmit PDI information to the base station. Also, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the terminal processor 1802 can determine the transmission timing of the PDI periodically or non-periodically and control the PDI transmission timing.

2G is a block diagram illustrating an internal structure of a base station according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2G, the base station of the present invention may include a base station receiving unit 1901, a base station transmitting unit 1905, and a base station processing unit 1903. The base station receiving unit 1901 and the base station transmitting unit 1905 may be collectively referred to as a transmitting / receiving unit in the embodiment of the present invention. The transmitting and receiving unit can transmit and receive signals to and from the terminal. The signal may include control information and data. To this end, the transmitting and receiving unit may include an RF transmitter for up-converting and amplifying the frequency of a transmitted signal, an RF receiver for low-noise amplifying the received signal and down-converting the frequency. The transceiving unit may receive a signal through a wireless channel, output the signal to the base station processing unit 1903, and transmit the signal output from the terminal processing unit 1903 through a wireless channel. The base station processor 1903 can control a series of processes so that the base station can operate according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention. For example, the base station receiving unit 1901 receives PDIs fed back by the UE. The base station processor 1903 can analyze the PDI information received from the terminal and determine which reference signal structure is suitable for the transmission environment. Then, the base station transmitting unit 1905 transmits the corresponding reference signal based on the structure of the reference signal selected based on the PDI. Also, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the base station processor 1903 can perform setting for controlling periodic or aperiodic reception of the PDI and controlling the PDI.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention disclosed in the present specification and drawings are only illustrative of the present invention in order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. That is, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that other modifications based on the technical idea of the present invention are possible. Further, each of the above embodiments can be combined with each other as needed. For example, the base station and the terminal can be operated by combining the embodiments 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3 of the present invention. Although the above embodiments are presented on the basis of the FDD LTE system, other systems based on the technical idea of the above embodiment may be implemented in other systems such as a TDD LTE system, a 5G or NR system.

&Lt; Third Embodiment >

In a wireless communication system, particularly in a conventional LTE system, HARQ ACK or NACK information indicating success of data transmission in an uplink is transmitted to a base station after 3 ms after receiving downlink data. For example, HARQ ACK / NACK information of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) received in a subframe n from a BS to a UE is transmitted through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) in a subframe n + To the base station. Also, in the FDD LTE system, the base station may transmit downlink control information (DCI) including uplink resource allocation information to the UE or request retransmission through a physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel (PHICH) When the UE receives the transmission scheduling in the subframe n, the UE performs uplink data transmission in the subframe n + 4. That is, the PUSCH transmission is performed in the subframe n + 4. In the LTE system using the TDD, the HARQ ACK / NACK transmission timing and the PUSCH transmission timing are different according to the UL-DL subframe setting. This is a predetermined rule .

In the LTE system using the FDD or the TDD, the HARQ ACK / NACK transmission timing or the PUSCH transmission timing is predetermined according to the case that the time required for the signal processing of the base station and the terminal is about 3 ms. However, if the signal processing time is reduced to 1 ms or 2 ms, the delay time for data transmission will be reduced. The reduction of the signal processing time to 1 ms or 2 ms may be achieved by limiting the number of allocated PRBs, MCS, TBS, and the like.

Efforts are underway to develop an improved 5G or pre-5G communication system to meet the growing demand for wireless data traffic after commercialization of the 4G communication system. For this reason, a 5G communication system or a pre-5G communication system is called a system after a 4G network (Beyond 4G network) communication system or after a LTE system (Post LTE). To achieve a high data rate, 5G communication systems are being considered for implementation in very high frequency (mmWave) bands (e.g., 60 gigahertz (60GHz) bands). In order to mitigate the path loss of the radio wave in the very high frequency band and to increase the propagation distance of the radio wave, in the 5G communication system, beamforming, massive MIMO, full-dimension MIMO (FD-MIMO ), Array antennas, analog beam-forming, and large scale antenna technologies are being discussed. In order to improve the network of the system, the 5G communication system has developed an advanced small cell, an advanced small cell, a cloud radio access network (cloud RAN), an ultra-dense network, (D2D), a wireless backhaul, a moving network, cooperative communication, Coordinated Multi-Points (CoMP), and interference cancellation Have been developed. In addition, in the 5G system, the Advanced Coding Modulation (ACM) scheme, Hybrid FSK and QAM Modulation (FQAM) and Sliding Window Superposition Coding (SWSC), the advanced connection technology, Filter Bank Multi Carrier (FBMC) (non-orthogonal multiple access), and SCMA (sparse code multiple access).

On the other hand, the Internet is evolving into an Internet of Things (IoT) network in which information is exchanged between distributed components such as objects in a human-centered network where humans generate and consume information. IoE (Internet of Everything) technology, which combines IoT technology with big data processing technology through connection with cloud servers, is also emerging. In order to implement IoT, technology elements such as sensing technology, wired / wireless communication, network infrastructure, service interface technology and security technology are required. In recent years, sensor network, machine to machine , M2M), and MTC (Machine Type Communication). In the IoT environment, an intelligent IT (Internet Technology) service can be provided that collects and analyzes data generated from connected objects to create new value in human life. IoT is a field of smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, smart grid, health care, smart home appliance, and advanced medical service through fusion of existing information technology . &Lt; / RTI &gt;

Accordingly, various attempts have been made to apply the 5G communication system to the IoT network. For example, technologies such as sensor network, machine to machine (M2M), and machine type communication (MTC) are implemented by techniques such as beamforming, MIMO, and array antennas, which are 5G communication technologies will be. The application of the cloud RAN as the big data processing technology described above is an example of the convergence of 5G technology and IoT technology.

As described above, a plurality of services can be provided to a user in the communication system, and a method and a device using the method that can provide each service within the same time interval in accordance with the characteristics to provide the plurality of services to the user are required .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this specification, it will be understood that each block of the process flow diagrams and combinations of flow diagram diagrams may be performed by computer program instructions. These computer program instructions may be loaded into a processor of a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or other programmable data processing apparatus, so that those instructions, which are executed through a processor of a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus, Thereby creating means for performing functions. These computer program instructions may also be stored in a computer usable or computer readable memory capable of directing a computer or other programmable data processing apparatus to implement the functionality in a particular manner so that the computer usable or computer readable memory The instructions stored in the block diagram (s) are also capable of producing manufacturing items containing instruction means for performing the functions described in the flowchart block (s). Computer program instructions may also be stored on a computer or other programmable data processing equipment so that a series of operating steps may be performed on a computer or other programmable data processing equipment to create a computer- It is also possible for the instructions to perform the processing equipment to provide steps for executing the functions described in the flowchart block (s).

In addition, each block may represent a portion of a module, segment, or code that includes one or more executable instructions for executing the specified logical function (s). It should also be noted that in some alternative implementations, the functions mentioned in the blocks may occur out of order. For example, two blocks shown in succession may actually be executed substantially concurrently, or the blocks may sometimes be performed in reverse order according to the corresponding function.

Herein, the term &quot; part &quot; used in the present embodiment means a hardware component such as software or an FPGA or an ASIC, and 'part' performs certain roles. However, 'part' is not meant to be limited to software or hardware. &Quot; to &quot; may be configured to reside on an addressable storage medium and may be configured to play one or more processors. Thus, by way of example, 'parts' may refer to components such as software components, object-oriented software components, class components and task components, and processes, functions, , Subroutines, segments of program code, drivers, firmware, microcode, circuitry, data, databases, data structures, tables, arrays, and variables. The functions provided in the components and components may be further combined with a smaller number of components and components or further components and components. In addition, the components and components may be implemented to play back one or more CPUs in a device or a secure multimedia card. Also, in an embodiment, 'to' may include one or more processors.

At least one service of Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB), Massive Machine Type Communications (mMTC) and Ultra-Reliable and Low-latency Communications (URLLC) may be provided to the terminal in a wireless communication system including the fifth generation. The services can be provided to the same terminal during the same time period. In the embodiment, the eMBB may be a high-speed transmission of high-capacity data, the mMTC may be a terminal power minimization and a connection of a plurality of terminals, and the URLLC may be a service aiming at high reliability and low latency. The above three services may be a major scenario in a LTE system or a system such as 5G / NR (new radio, next radio) after LTE. In the embodiment, coexistence of eMBB and URLLC, coexistence of mMTC and URLLC, and apparatus using the same will be described.

When a base station has scheduled a data corresponding to an eMBB service in a specific transmission time interval (TTI) to a UE, when a situation is required to transmit URLLC data in the TTI, the eMBB data is already scheduled It is possible to transmit the generated URLLC data in the frequency band without transmitting a part of the eMBB data in the frequency band to which the data is transmitted. The UEs scheduled for the eMBB and the UEs scheduled for the URLLC may be the same UE or may be different UEs. In such a case, there is a possibility that eMBB data is damaged because a portion of the eMBB data that has already been scheduled and transmitted is generated. Therefore, in the above case, it is necessary to determine a method of processing a signal received from a terminal that is scheduled for eMBB or a terminal that is scheduled for URLLC and a signal receiving method. Therefore, when the information according to eMBB and URLLC is scheduled, or information according to mMTC and URLLC are scheduled simultaneously, or information according to mMTC and eMBB is scheduled simultaneously, sharing the part or whole frequency band, or The coexistence method between heterogeneous services that can transmit information according to each service when the information according to eMBB, URLLC and mMTC are scheduled simultaneously is described.

Hereinafter, the base station may be at least one of an eNode B, a Node B, a base station (BS), a wireless access unit, a base station controller, or a node on a network. The terminal may include a user equipment (UE), a mobile station (MS), a cellular phone, a smart phone, a computer, or a multimedia system capable of performing communication functions. In the present invention, a downlink (DL) is a wireless transmission path of a signal transmitted from a base station to a mobile station, and an uplink (UL) is a wireless transmission path of a signal transmitted from a mobile station to a base station. In the following, embodiments of the present invention will be described as an example of an LTE or LTE-A system, but embodiments of the present invention may be applied to other communication systems having a similar technical background or channel form. For example, 5G mobile communication technology developed after LTE-A (5G, new radio, NR) could be included. In addition, embodiments of the present invention may be applied to other communication systems by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.

In the LTE system, an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) scheme is used in a downlink (DL) and a Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple (SC-FDMA) scheme is used in an uplink Access) method. The uplink refers to a wireless link that transmits data or control signals to a terminal (User Equipment, UE) or a mobile station (MS) to a base station (eNode B or base station (BS) In the above multiple access scheme, time / frequency resources to transmit data or control information for each user are not overlapped with each other, that is, orthogonality So that data or control information of each user can be distinguished.

The LTE system adopts a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) scheme in which a physical layer resends data when a decoding failure occurs in an initial transmission. In the HARQ scheme, if a receiver fails to correctly decode (decode) data, the receiver transmits information indicating a decoding failure (NACK: Negative Acknowledgment) to the transmitter so that the transmitter can retransmit the corresponding data in the physical layer. The receiver combines the data retransmitted by the transmitter with the previously decoded data to improve data reception performance. In addition, when the receiver correctly decodes the data, an acknowledgment (ACK) indicating the decoding success is transmitted to the transmitter so that the transmitter can transmit new data.

FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a basic structure of a time-frequency domain, which is a radio resource region in which the data or control channel is transmitted in the downlink in an LTE system or a similar system.

Referring to FIG. 3A, the horizontal axis indicates time domain and the vertical axis indicates frequency domain. The minimum transmission unit in the time domain is an OFDM symbol. Nsymb (102) OFDM symbols constitute one slot 106, and two slots form one subframe 105. The length of the slot is 0.5 ms and the length of the subframe is 1.0 ms. The radio frame 114 is a time domain including 10 subframes. The minimum transmission unit in the frequency domain is a subcarrier, and the bandwidth of the total system transmission bandwidth is composed of a total of N _BW (104) subcarriers. However, such specific values can be applied variably.

In a time-frequency domain, a basic unit of a resource can be represented by an OFDM symbol index and a subcarrier index as a resource element (RE) 112. A resource block (RB or Physical Resource Block) 108 may be defined as Nsymb (102) consecutive OFDM symbols in the time domain and N _RB (110) consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. Accordingly, one RB 108 in one slot may include Nsymb x N _RB REs 112. [ In general, the minimum frequency-domain allocation unit of data is the RB. Is generally the Nsymb = 7, N _RB = 12 in the LTE system, N _BW and N _RB may be proportional to the bandwidth of the system transmission band. The data rate increases in proportion to the number of RBs scheduled to the UE. The LTE system can define and operate six transmission bandwidths. In the case of an FDD system in which the downlink and the uplink are classified by frequency, the downlink transmission bandwidth and the uplink transmission bandwidth may be different from each other. The channel bandwidth represents the RF bandwidth corresponding to the system transmission bandwidth. [Table 3-1] shows correspondence between system transmission bandwidth and channel bandwidth defined in LTE system. For example, an LTE system with a 10 MHz channel bandwidth can have a transmission bandwidth of 50 RBs.

[Table 3-1]

The downlink control information may be transmitted within the first N OFDM symbols in the subframe. In the embodiment, N = {1, 2, 3} in general. Therefore, the N value can be variably applied to each subframe according to the amount of control information to be transmitted in the current subframe. The transmitted control information may include a control channel transmission period indicator indicating how many OFDM symbols control information is transmitted, scheduling information for downlink data or uplink data, and HARQ ACK / NACK information.

In the LTE system, scheduling information for downlink data or uplink data is transmitted from a base station to a mobile station through downlink control information (DCI). The DCI is defined according to various formats, and it is determined according to each format whether the scheduling information (UL grant) for the uplink data or the scheduling information (DL grant) for the downlink data, whether the size of the control information is compact DCI , Whether to apply spatial multiplexing using multiple antennas, whether or not DCI is used for power control, and the like. For example, DCI format 1, which is scheduling control information (DL grant) for downlink data, may include at least one of the following control information.

- Resource allocation type 0/1 flag: Indicates whether the resource allocation scheme is Type 0 or Type 1. Type 0 allocates resources by resource block group (RBG) by applying bitmap method. In the LTE system, the basic unit of scheduling is an RB represented by time and frequency domain resources, and the RBG is composed of a plurality of RBs and becomes a basic unit of scheduling in the type 0 scheme. Type 1 allows a specific RB to be allocated within the RBG.

- Resource block assignment: Indicates the RB allocated to the data transmission. The resources to be represented are determined according to the system bandwidth and the resource allocation method.

- Modulation and coding scheme (MCS): Indicates the modulation scheme used for data transmission and the size of the transport block, which is the data to be transmitted.

- HARQ process number: Indicates the HARQ process number.

- New data indicator: Indicates whether HARQ is initial transmission or retransmission.

- Redundancy version: Indicates the redundancy version of HARQ.

- Transmit Power Control (TPC) command for PUCCH for Physical Uplink Control CHannel: Indicates a transmission power control command for the uplink control channel PUCCH.

The DCI is a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) (or control information), or an Enhanced PDCCH (Enhanced PDCCH) (or enhanced control information, hereinafter referred to as &quot; It may be used on a mixed basis).

Generally, the DCI is scrambled with a specific Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) (or a mobile station identifier) independently of each mobile station, and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is added, channel-coded and then composed of independent PDCCHs . In the time domain, the PDCCH is mapped and transmitted during the control channel transmission period. The frequency domain mapping position of the PDCCH is determined by the identifier (ID) of each terminal, and can be transmitted over the entire system transmission band.

The downlink data may be transmitted on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), which is a physical channel for downlink data transmission. PDSCH may be transmitted after the control channel transmission interval, and scheduling information such as a specific mapping position and a modulation scheme in the frequency domain is determined based on the DCI transmitted through the PDCCH.

Through the MCS among the control information constituting the DCI, the BS notifies the MS of the modulation scheme applied to the PDSCH to be transmitted and the transport block size (TBS) to be transmitted. In an embodiment, the MCS may be composed of 5 bits or more or fewer bits. The TBS corresponds to a size before channel coding for error correction is applied to data (transport block, TB) to be transmitted by the base station.

The modulation schemes supported by the LTE system are QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying), 16QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), and 64QAM, and the respective modulation order (Qm) corresponds to 2, 4, and 6. That is, 2 bits per symbol for QPSK modulation, 4 bits per symbol for 16QAM modulation, and 6 bits per symbol for 64QAM modulation. In addition, 256QAM or more modulation method can be used according to the system modification.

3B is a diagram illustrating a basic structure of a time-frequency domain, which is a radio resource region in which an uplink data or control channel is transmitted in an LTE-A system.

Referring to FIG. 3B, the horizontal axis represents the time domain and the vertical axis represents the frequency domain. The minimum transmission unit in the time domain is the SC-FDMA symbol 202, and NsymbUL SC-FDMA symbols can be gathered to form one slot 206. [ Then, two slots form one subframe 205. The minimum transmission unit in the frequency domain is a subcarrier, and the total system transmission bandwidth 204 is composed of a total of N _BW subcarriers. N _BW may have a value proportional to the system transmission band.

The basic unit of resources in the time-frequency domain is a resource element (RE) 212, which can be defined as an SC-FDMA symbol index and a subcarrier index. A resource block pair (RB pair) 208 may be defined as Nsymb ^UL consecutive SC-FDMA symbols in the time domain and Nsc ^RB consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. Therefore, one RB is composed of Nsymb ^UL x Nsc ^{RB RBs} . In general, the minimum transmission unit of data or control information is RB unit. In case of PUCCH, it is mapped to a frequency region corresponding to 1 RB and transmitted for 1 sub-frame.

In the LTE system, an uplink physical channel PUCCH or PUSCH, to which HARQ ACK / NACK corresponding to a PDCCH / EPDDCH including a physical channel for downlink data transmission or a semi-persistent scheduling release (SPS release) Can be defined. For example, in an LTE system operating in a frequency division duplex (FDD), a HARQ ACK / NACK corresponding to a PDCCH / EPDCCH including PDSCH or SPS release transmitted in an n-4th subframe is transmitted as a PUCCH or a PUSCH Lt; / RTI &gt;

In the LTE system, the downlink HARQ employs an asynchronous HARQ scheme in which the data retransmission time is not fixed. That is, when HARQ NACK is fed back from the UE to the initial transmission data transmitted from the BS, the BS freely determines the transmission time point of the retransmission data by the scheduling operation. The UE may perform buffering on the data determined to be an error as a result of decoding the received data for HARQ operation, and then perform the combining with the next retransmission data.

The HARQ ACK / NACK information of the PDSCH transmitted in the subframe nk is transmitted from the UE to the Node B through the PUCCH or PUSCH in the subframe n, where k is the FDD or TDD (time division duplex) of the LTE system, May be defined differently depending on the frame setting. For example, in the case of the FDD LTE system, the k is fixed at 4. On the other hand, in case of the TDD LTE system, k may be changed according to the subframe setting and the subframe number. Also, the value of k may be differently applied according to the TDD setting of each carrier at the time of data transmission through a plurality of carriers. In the case of the TDD, the k value is determined according to the TDD UL / DL setting as shown in [Table 3-2].

[Table 3-2]

Unlike the downlink HARQ in the LTE system, the uplink HARQ adopts a synchronous HARQ scheme in which the data transmission time is fixed. That is, a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), a downlink control channel (PDCCH), and a physical hybrid (PHICH) physical channel, in which a downlink HARQ ACK / NACK corresponding to the PUSCH is transmitted, Indicator Channel) can be transmitted and received according to the following rule.

When the UE receives the PDCCH including the uplink scheduling control information transmitted from the base station in the subframe n or the PHICH in which the downlink HARQ ACK / NACK is transmitted, the UE transmits uplink data corresponding to the control information in the subframe n + k PUSCH. Here, k may be defined differently according to the FDD or TDD (time division duplex) of the LTE system and its setting. For example, in the case of the FDD LTE system, the k can be fixed to 4. On the other hand, in case of the TDD LTE system, k may be changed according to the subframe setting and the subframe number. Also, the value of k may be differently applied according to the TDD setting of each carrier at the time of data transmission through a plurality of carriers. In the case of the TDD, the k value is determined according to the TDD UL / DL setting as shown in [Table 3-3].

[Table 3-3]

On the other hand, the HARQ-ACK information of the PHICH transmitted in the subframe i is related to the PUSCH transmitted in the subframe i-k. For FDD systems, k is given as 4. That is, the HARQ-ACK information of the PHICH transmitted in the subframe i in the FDD system is related to the PUSCH transmitted in the subframe i-4. In case of the TDD system, if a terminal with no EIMTA set has only one serving cell or all of them have the same TDD UL / DL setting, when the TDD UL / DL setting is 1 to 6, K &lt; / RTI &gt;

[Table 3-4]

That is, for example, in the TDD UL / DL setting 1, the PHICH transmitted in the subframe 6 may be the HARQ-ACK information of the PUSCH transmitted in the subframe 2 which is four subframes before.

If the HARQ-ACK is received in the PHICH resource corresponding to I _PHICH = 0 when the TDD UL / DL is set to 0, the PUSCH indicated by the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted from the subframe ik, 4. If the HARQ-ACK is received in the PHICH resource corresponding to I _PHICH = 1 when the TDD UL / DL is set to 0, the PUSCH indicated by the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted in the subframe i-6.

The description of the wireless communication system is based on the LTE system, and the contents of the present invention are not limited to the LTE system but can be applied to various wireless communication systems such as NR and 5G. Also, in a case where the present invention is applied to another wireless communication system, the k value may be changed and applied to a system using a modulation scheme corresponding to the FDD.

FIGS. 3C and 3D show data allocated for eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC, which are services to be considered in a 5G or NR system, in frequency-time resources.

Referring to FIGS. 3C and 3D, it is possible to see how frequency and time resources are allocated for information transmission in each system.

In FIG. 3C, data for eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC are allocated in the entire system frequency band 300. When the e-MBB 301 and the mMTC 309 are allocated and transmitted in a specific frequency band and the URLLC data 303, 305, and 307 are generated and transmitted, the eMBB 301 and the mMTC 309 The URLLC data 303, 305, and 307 can be transmitted without empty or transmission. Since URLLC needs to reduce the delay time, the URLLC data may be allocated (303, 305, 307) to a part of the resource 301 to which the eMBB is allocated. Of course, when URLLC is further allocated and transmitted in the resource to which the eMBB is allocated, the eMBB data may not be transmitted in the overlapping frequency-time resources, and thus the transmission performance of the eMBB data may be lowered. That is, in the above case, eMBB data transmission failure due to URLLC allocation may occur.

In FIG. 3D, the entire system frequency band 400 can be divided and used for transmitting services and data in the respective subbands 402, 404, and 406. The information related to the subband setting can be predetermined, and the information can be transmitted to the base station through the upper signaling. Alternatively, information related to the subbands may be provided by the base station or the network node without any separate subband configuration information being transmitted to the terminal. In FIG. 3D, subband 402 is used for eMBB data transmission, subband 404 is used for URLLC data transmission, and subband 406 is used for mMTC data transmission.

The length of the transmission time interval (TTI) used in the URLLC transmission in the first embodiment may be shorter than the TTI length used in the eMBB or mMTC transmission. Also, the response of the information related to the URLLC can be transmitted faster than the eMBB or mMTC, so that information can be transmitted and received with a low delay.

3E is a diagram illustrating a process in which one transport block is divided into a plurality of code blocks and a CRC is added.

Referring to FIG. 3E, a CRC 503 may be added to the last or first part of one transport block (TB) 501 to be transmitted in the uplink or the downlink. The CRC may have 16 bits or 24 bits or a predetermined number of bits or a variable number of bits depending on a channel condition or the like and may be used to determine whether channel coding is successful or not. The blocks 501 and 503 to which the TB and the CRC are added can be divided into a plurality of code blocks 507, 509, 511, and 513 (505). In this case, the last code block 513 may be smaller than the other code blocks, or may be set to 0, a random value or 1 to equalize the length with other code blocks. You can tailor it. CRCs 517, 519, 521, and 523 may be added to the divided code blocks 515, respectively. The CRC may have 16 bits or 24 bits, or a predetermined number of bits, and may be used to determine whether channel coding is successful. However, the CRC 503 added to the TB and the CRCs 517, 519, 521, and 523 added to the code block may be omitted depending on the type of channel code to be applied to the code block. For example, if an LDPC code, rather than a turbo code, is applied to a code block, the CRCs 517, 519, 521, 523 to be inserted per code block may be omitted. However, even when the LDPC is applied, the CRCs 517, 519, 521, and 523 may be added to the code block as they are. Also, CRC can be added or omitted even when polar codes are used.

FIG. 3F is a diagram illustrating a manner in which an outer code is used and transmitted. FIG. 3G is a block diagram illustrating a structure of a communication system in which the outer code is used.

Referring to FIGS. 3F and 3G, a method of transmitting a signal using an outer code can be described.

In FIG. 3F, one transport block is divided into a plurality of code blocks, and bits or symbols 604 located at the same position in each code block are encoded with a second channel code to generate parity bits or symbols 606 (602). Thereafter, CRCs may be added to the respective code blocks and the parity code blocks generated by the second channel code encoding, respectively (608, 610). The addition of the CRC may vary depending on the type of the channel code. For example, when the turbo code is used as the first channel code, the CRCs 608 and 610 are added, but then each code block and parity code blocks can be encoded with the first channel code encoding.

When the outer code is used, the data to be transmitted passes through the second channel coding encoder 709. The channel code used for the second channel coding may be, for example, a Reed-Solomon code, a BCH code, a Raptor code, a parity bit generation code, or the like. The bits or symbols that have passed through the second channel coding encoder 709 pass through the first channel coding encoder 711. The channel code used for the first channel coding includes a convolutional code, an LDPC code, a turbo code, and a polar code. When the channel coded symbols are received by the receiver through the channel 713, the receiver side can sequentially operate the first channel coding decoder 715 and the second channel coding decoder 717 based on the received signal . The first channel coding decoder 715 and the second channel coding decoder 717 may perform operations corresponding to the first channel coding encoder 711 and the second channel coding encoder 709, respectively.

On the other hand, in the channel coding block diagram in which no outer code is used, only the first channel coding encoder 711 and the first channel coding decoder 705 are used in the transceiver, and the second channel coding decoder and the second channel coding decoder are not used Do not. Even when the outer code is not used, the first channel coding encoder 711 and the first channel coding decoder 705 can be configured in the same way as in the case where the outer code is used.

The eMBB service described below will be referred to as a first type service and the eMBB data will be referred to as first type data. The first type service or the first type data is not limited to the eMBB, but may be applied to a case where high-speed data transmission is required or a broadband transmission is performed. The URLLC service is referred to as a second type service, and the URLLC data is referred to as second type data. The second type service or second type data is not limited to URLLC, but may be applicable to other systems requiring a low delay time, requiring high reliability transmission, or requiring low latency and high reliability at the same time. The mMTC service is called a third type service, and the mMTC data is called a third type data. The third type service or the third type data is not limited to mMTC but may be applied to a case where a low speed, wide coverage, or low power is required. Also, in describing the embodiment, it can be understood that the first type service includes or does not include the third type service.

The structure of the physical layer channel used for each type may be different in order to transmit the three services or data. For example, at least one of a transmission time interval (TTI) length, a frequency resource allocation unit, a control channel structure, and a data mapping method may be different.

Although three services and three pieces of data have been described above, there are more kinds of services and corresponding data. In this case, the contents of the present invention can be applied.

The terms physical channel and signal in a conventional LTE or LTE-A system may be used to describe the method and apparatus proposed in the embodiments. However, the present invention can be applied to wireless communication systems other than LTE and LTE-A systems.

As described above, the embodiment defines transmission and reception operations of a first type, a second type, a third type service, and a terminal and a base station for data transmission, and transmits terminals having different types of services or data scheduling to the same system We suggest a concrete method to operate together. In the present invention, the first type, the second type and the third type terminals are respectively referred to as terminals of type 1, type 2, type 3, or data scheduling. In an embodiment, the first type terminal, the second type terminal and the third type terminal may be the same terminal or may be different terminals.

Hereinafter, at least one of the PHICH, the uplink scheduling grant signal and the downlink data signal is referred to as a first signal. Also, in the present invention, at least one of an uplink data signal for uplink scheduling grant and an HARQ ACK / NACK for a downlink data signal is referred to as a second signal. In an exemplary embodiment, a signal transmitted from a base station to a mobile station may be a first signal if it is a signal expecting a response from the mobile station, and a response signal from a mobile station corresponding to the first signal may be a second signal. Also, in the embodiment, the service type of the first signal may be at least one of eMBB, URLLC, and mMTC, and the second signal may also correspond to at least one of the services. For example, in LTE and LTE-A systems, PUCCH format 0 or 4 and PHICH may be the first signal, and the corresponding second signal may be PUSCH. For example, in the LTE and LTE-A systems, the PDSCH may be the first signal, and the PUCCH or PUSCH including the HARQ ACK / NACK information of the PDSCH may be the second signal.

In the following embodiments, the TTI length of the first signal may indicate the length of time during which the first signal is transmitted with a time value related to the first signal transmission. Also, in the present invention, the TTI length of the second signal may indicate the length of time that the second signal is transmitted with a time value related to the second signal transmission, and the TTI length of the third signal may be shorter than the time related to the third signal transmission Value may represent the length of time the third signal is transmitted. In the present invention, the second signal transmission timing is information on when the terminal transmits the second signal and when the base station receives the second signal, and may be referred to as a second signal transmission / reception timing.

Further, in the following embodiments, when the base station transmits the first signal in the n &lt; th &gt; TTI, it is assumed that the terminal transmits the second signal in the (n + k) th TTI. It is like telling k value. Assuming that the base station transmits the first signal in the n-th TTI and the terminal transmits the second signal in the n + 4 + a-th TTI, when the base station informs the terminal of the timing to transmit the second signal, It is like telling the value a. An offset can be defined by various methods such as n + 3 + a and n + 5 + a in place of the n + 4 + a. Hereinafter, the n + 4 + It can be defined.

The contents of the present invention are applicable to FDD and TDD systems.

In the present invention, upper signaling is a signal transmission method that is transmitted from a base station to a mobile station using a downlink data channel of a physical layer or from a mobile station to a base station using an uplink data channel of a physical layer, and includes RRC signaling or PDCP signaling , Or a MAC control element (MAC CE).

In the present invention, a method of determining the timing of transmitting the second signal after the terminal or the base station receives the first signal has been described. However, the method of sending the second signal can be performed by various methods. For example, after receiving the PDSCH, which is the downlink data, the timing of sending the HARQ ACK / NACK information corresponding to the PDSCH to the BS follows the method of the present invention. However, the timing of selecting the PUCCH format, The method of mapping HARQ ACK / NACK information to the PUSCH may be followed by another method. For example, the selection of the PUCCH format used, the selection of the PUCCH resource, or the mapping of the HARQ ACK / NACK information to the PUSCH may be determined based on the contents of the LTE standard.

In the present invention, a delay reduction terminal, a terminal with delay reduction, a terminal with a reduced processing time, or a terminal with a reduced processing time can be mixed.

[Example 3-1]

The 3-1 embodiment describes a method for determining the timing of the PUSCH transmission when the UE receives the PDCCH / EPDCCH including the PHICH or the DCI for conveying the UL scheduling information. The PHICH may not be used if delay reduction is transmitted to the UE with the delay reduction, and in this case, it may be applied when the DCI which carries the uplink scheduling information is received. In this case, since the HARQ ACK-NACK information for the uplink transmission transmitted with the delay reduction is not received by the PHICH, the UE can omit PHICH decoding in the corresponding subframe.

When the UE receives one of the PDCCH / EPDCCHs including the PHICH or the DCI for transmitting the uplink scheduling information in the subframe n, the PUSCH associated with the PDCCH / EPDCCH is allocated to the subframe n + k , And the k is given by the following [Table 3-5].

[Table 3-5]

When the TDD UL / DL setting is 0, the PDCCH / EPDCCH having the MSB of 1 in the UL index of the uplink DCI format is received, the PHICH is received in the subframe 1 or 6, or the PHICH is received in the subframe 0 or 5 in the I _PHICH And when the resource is received at a location where the resource is 0, the k value can be determined according to Table 5. [ When the PDCCH / EPDCCH with the LSB of the UL index of the UL index of the uplink DCI format is received when the TDD UL / DL setting is 0, or when the PHICH is received with the I _PHICH resource of 1 in the subframe 0 or 5, The value can be determined to be 7. If both the MSB and the LSB of the UL index of the uplink DCI format are 1, it is possible to transmit the PUSCH in the case of k = 7 and in the subframe n + k when k follows Table 5. [

The method when the TDD UL / DL setting is 0 is not only the above method but also a slight modification. For example, when the TDD UL / DL setting is 0, the PDCCH / EPDCCH having the MSB of the UL index of the uplink DCI format is received, the PHICH is received in the subframe 1 or 6, or the PHICH is received in the subframe 0 or 5 When the I _PHICH resource is received at 1, the k value can be determined according to [Table 3-5]. When the PDCCH / EPDCCH with the LSB of the UL index of the uplink DCI format is 1 when the TDD UL / DL setting is 0, or when the PHICH is received with the I _PHICH resource with 0 in the subframe 0 or 5, The value can be determined to be 7. In another example, when the TDD UL / DL setting is 0, the PDCCH / EPDCCH having the MSB of 1 in the UL index of the uplink DCI format is received, the PHICH is received in the subframe 0 or 5 or the PHICH is received in the subframe 1 Or 6, when the I _PHICH resource is received at 1, the k value can be determined according to the above [Table 3-5]. When the PDCCH / EPDCCH having the LSB of the UL index of the UL index of the uplink DCI format is received when the TDD UL / DL setting is 0, or when the PHICH is received in the subframe 1 or 6 where the I _PHICH resource is 0, The value can be determined to be 6.

[Example 3-2]

The third to second embodiments describe a method for determining a timing of transmitting a PUSCH when a mobile station receives a PDCCH / EPDCCH including a PHICH or a DCI for transmitting uplink scheduling information. The PHICH may not be used if delay reduction is transmitted to the UE with the delay reduction, and in this case, it may be applied when the DCI which carries the uplink scheduling information is received. In this case, since the HARQ ACK-NACK information for the uplink transmission transmitted with the delay reduction is not received by the PHICH, the UE can omit PHICH decoding in the corresponding subframe.

When the UE receives the PHICH or the PDCCH / EPDCCH including the DCI for transmitting the uplink scheduling information in the subframe n, among the values of k greater than 2, when the subframe of n + k is capable of uplink transmission , The UE transmits the PUSCH in the subframe n + k. For example, a UE receiving an uplink DCI in a subframe n transmits a PUSCH in a subframe capable of uplink transmission from n + 3. If n + 3 is the downlink subframe and n + 4 is the uplink transmission, the PUSCH is transmitted in subframe n + 4.

[Example 3-3]

The third to third embodiments describe a method for determining a timing of transmitting a PUSCH when a UE receives a PDCCH / EPDCCH including a PHICH or a DCI for transmitting uplink scheduling information. The PHICH may not be used if delay reduction is transmitted to the UE with the delay reduction, and in this case, it may be applied when the DCI which carries the uplink scheduling information is received. In this case, since the HARQ ACK-NACK information for the uplink transmission transmitted with the delay reduction is not received by the PHICH, the UE can omit PHICH decoding in the corresponding subframe.

When the UE receives one of the PDCCH / EPDCCHs including the PHICH or the DCI for transmitting the uplink scheduling information in the subframe n, the PUSCH associated with the PDCCH / EPDCCH is allocated to the subframe n + k , And the k is given by [Table 3-6].

[Table 3-6]

When the TDD UL / DL setting is 0, the PDCCH / EPDCCH having the MSB of the UL index of the uplink DCI format is received, the PHICH is received in the subframe 0 or 5, or the PHICH is received in the subframe 1 or 6 in the I _PHICH And when the resource is received in a place where the resource is 0, the k value can be determined according to Table 6. [ When the PDCCH / EPDCCH with the LSB of the UL index of the UL index of the uplink DCI format is received when the TDD UL / DL setting is 0, or when the PHICH is received by the I _PHICH resource with 1 at the subframe 1 or 6, The value can be determined to be 3. If both the MSB and the LSB of the UL index of the uplink DCI format are 1, it is possible to transmit the PUSCH both in the case of k = 3 and in the subframe n + k when k follows Table 5. [

The method when the TDD UL / DL setting is 0 is not only the above method but also a slight modification.

[Example 3-4]

The third to fourth embodiments describe a method of determining a timing of PUSCH transmission when a UE receives a PHICH or a PDCCH / EPDCCH including a DCI for conveying uplink scheduling information. The PHICH may not be used if delay reduction is transmitted to the UE with the delay reduction, and in this case, it may be applied when the DCI which carries the uplink scheduling information is received. In this case, since the HARQ ACK-NACK information for the uplink transmission transmitted with the delay reduction is not received by the PHICH, the UE can omit PHICH decoding in the corresponding subframe.

When the UE receives the PHICH or the PDCCH / EPDCCH including the DCI for transmitting the uplink scheduling information in the subframe n, when k is a subframe in which n + k subframes are capable of uplink transmission, , The UE transmits the PUSCH in the subframe n + k. For example, a UE receiving an uplink DCI in a subframe n transmits a PUSCH in a subframe capable of uplink transmission from n + 2. If n + 2 is the downlink subframe and n + 3 is the uplink transmission, the PUSCH is transmitted in the subframe n + 3.

The 3-1 embodiment and the 3-3 embodiment may be used depending on the base station setting to the terminal or may be used according to the information transmitted from the DCI. In addition, the third to eighth embodiments and the third to fourth embodiments may be used according to the base station setting to the terminal, or may be used according to the information transmitted from the DCI. Also, in the above-described embodiments 3-1 to 3-4, the BS may attempt PUSCH decoding in a subframe in which the UE transmits the PUSCH. FIG. 3h illustrates the operation of the terminal. When the UE receives the PHICH or the PDCCH / EPDCCH including the UL scheduling information, the UE checks at least one of the upper signaling setting, the PHICH resource location, and the DCI information (804). In FIG. 3H, the first timing setting 806 uses the PUSCH transmission timing in the conventional LTE / LTE-A, and may indicate a case where the minimum signal processing time of the terminal is about 3 ms including the TA value . Therefore, if the UE confirms the first timing setting 806, it is the same as the PUSCH transmission timing in the conventional LTE / LTE-A. For example, if the uplink scheduling information is received from the subframe n to the PDCCH in the FDD, The PUSCH is transmitted at n + 4 (808). In FIG. 3h, the second timing setting 810 may indicate a case where the minimum signal processing time of the terminal is about 2 ms including the TA value. Accordingly, when the UE confirms the second timing setting 810, it determines the timing according to the 3-1 embodiment or the 3-2 embodiment. For example, in the FDD, the uplink scheduling information is received from the subframe n to the PDCCH , The PUSCH is transmitted in the subframe n + 3 (812). In FIG. 3H, the third timing setting 814 may indicate a case where the minimum signal processing time of the terminal is about 1 ms including the TA value. Accordingly, when the UE confirms the third timing setting 814, it determines the timing according to the 3-3 embodiment or the 3-4 embodiment. For example, in the FDD, the uplink scheduling information is received from the subframe n to the PDCCH , The PUSCH is transmitted in subframe n + 2 (816). It is also possible to support only one of the second timing setting 810 and the third timing setting 814 according to the terminal or the base station.

Further, it is also possible that the above-mentioned Embodiment 3-1 and Embodiment 3-3 are combined. For example, when the UE receives a DCI that the uplink scheduling information is transmitted by the PDCCH / EPDCCH, the transmission timing of the PUSCH is determined as in Example 3-1, and the UE receives the PHICH, May be determined as in the third to third embodiments. That is, when the uplink scheduling is performed in the subframe n using the DCI, if the UE transmits the PUSCH to the subframe n + 3 or thereafter and instructs the uplink retransmission using the PHICH, +2 or later, the PUSCH can be transmitted.

In the third to seventh embodiments to the third to fourth embodiments, PHICH denotes information corresponding to HARQ NACK for uplink transmission. Therefore, the reception of the PHICH can be interpreted to mean that the mobile station needs retransmission.

[Example 3-5]

The third to fifth embodiments describe a method for determining a timing for a UE to receive downlink data PDSCH transmission and to transmit an HARQ ACK / NACK for the PDSCH to an uplink channel such as a PUCCH or a PUSCH.

The HARQ ACK / NACK information of the PDSCH transmitted in the subframe n-k is transmitted in the subframe n, and the k may be changed according to the TDD UL / DL setting and the subframe position as shown in Table 3-7 below. In the present embodiment, the PDSCH may be a PDSCH scheduled by a PDCCH / EPDCCH or a PDSCH configured by an SPS.

[Table 3-7]

The order of the numbers written in each column of the table may be modified and applied differently.

In Table 3-7, when there are a plurality of k values, it means that HARQ ACK / NACK information for one or more PDSCHs can be transmitted together in subframe n. For example, HARQ ACK / NACK information corresponding to the PDSCHs transmitted in the UL / DL configuration 1 and before 6 subframes before and 3 subframes in the subframe 2 is transmitted.

[Table 3-7] above can be modified and used as shown in [Table 3-7a].

[Table 3-7a]

The order of the numbers written in each column of the table may be modified and applied differently.

[Example 3-6]

The third to sixth embodiments describe a method for determining a timing for a UE to receive downlink data PDSCH transmission and transmit HARQ ACK / NACK for the PDSCH to an uplink channel such as a PUCCH or a PUSCH.

If the base station transmits the PDSCH to the UE in the subframe n, the UE transmits the HARQ ACK / NACK information related to the PDSCH in a case where k is greater than 2, and the subframe of n + k is uplink- , And the UE transmits in the PUCCH or PUSCH in the subframe n + k. For example, a UE receiving a PDSCH in a subframe n transmits HARQ ACK / NACK information for the PDSCH to a base station in a PUCCH or a PUSCH in a subframe capable of uplink transmission from n + 3. If n + 3 is a downlink subframe and n + 4 is capable of uplink transmission, HARQ ACK / NACK information is transmitted from the subframe n + 4 to the PUCCH or PUSCH.

[Third Embodiment]

The third to seventh embodiments describe a method for determining a timing for a UE to receive downlink data PDSCH transmission and to transmit an HARQ ACK / NACK for the PDSCH to an uplink channel such as a PUCCH or a PUSCH.

The HARQ ACK / NACK information of the PDSCH transmitted in the subframe n-k is transmitted in the subframe n, and the k may be changed according to the TDD UL / DL setting and the subframe location as shown in Table 3-8 below. In the present embodiment, the PDSCH may be a PDSCH scheduled by a PDCCH / EPDCCH or a PDSCH configured by an SPS.

[Table 3-8]

The order of the numbers written in each column of the table may be modified and applied differently.

In Table 3-8, when there are a plurality of k values, it means that HARQ ACK / NACK information for one or more PDSCHs can be transmitted together in subframe n. For example, HARQ ACK / NACK information corresponding to PDSCHs transmitted before 3 subframes before 2 subframes in UL / DL configuration 1 and in subframe 2 is transmitted.

[Table 3-8] can be modified and used in the following [Table 3-8a].

[Table 3-8a]

The order of the numbers written in each column of the table may be modified and applied differently.

[Example 3-8]

The third to eighth embodiments describe a method for determining a timing for a UE to receive downlink data PDSCH transmission and transmit HARQ ACK / NACK for the PDSCH to an uplink channel such as a PUCCH or a PUSCH.

If the base station transmits the PDSCH to the UE in the subframe n, the UE transmits the HARQ ACK / NACK information related to the PDSCH to a subframe in which n + k subframes are available for uplink transmission, , And the UE transmits in the PUCCH or PUSCH in the subframe n + k. For example, a UE receiving a PDSCH in a subframe n transmits HARQ ACK / NACK information for the PDSCH to a base station in a PUCCH or a PUSCH in a subframe capable of uplink transmission from n + 2. If n + 2 is a downlink subframe and n + 3 is available for uplink transmission, HARQ ACK / NACK information is transmitted from the subframe n + 3 to the PUCCH or PUSCH.

The third to fifth embodiments and the third to seventh embodiments may be used depending on the base station setting to the terminal or may be used according to the information to be transmitted in the DCI. In addition, the third to sixth embodiments and the third to eighth embodiments may be used according to the base station setting to the terminal, or may be used according to the information to be transmitted in the DCI. In the 3-5th to the 3-8th embodiments, the BS may attempt to perform PUCCH or PUSCH decoding in a subframe in which the UE transmits PUCCH or PUSCH including HARQ ACK / NACK information for the PDSCH will be. 3I illustrates the operation of the terminal. When the UE receives the PDSCH, the UE checks at least one of higher signaling setting, DCI information, and the like (903). The first timing setting 905 in FIG. 3I uses HARQ ACK / NACK information transmission timing with the PUCCH or PUSCH in the conventional LTE / LTE-A, and the minimum signal processing time of the terminal is about 3ms Quot; and &quot; when &quot; Therefore, if the UE confirms the first timing setting 907, it is equal to the HARQ ACK / NACK information transmission timing in the conventional LTE / LTE-A. For example, in the FDD, if the PDSCH is received in the subframe n, +4 transmits HARQ ACK / NACK information through the PUCCH or PUSCH (907). The second timing setting 909 in FIG. 3I may indicate a case where the minimum signal processing time of the terminal is about 2 ms including the TA value. Accordingly, if the UE confirms the second timing setting 909, it determines the timing according to the 3-5th embodiment or the 3-6th embodiment. For example, in the FDD, if the PDSCH is received in the subframe n, And transmits HARQ ACK / NACK information through the PUCCH or PUSCH at step # 3 (911). The third timing setting 913 in FIG. 3I may indicate a case where the minimum signal processing time of the terminal is about 1 ms including the TA value. Therefore, if the UE confirms the third timing setting 913, it determines the timing according to the 3-7 embodiment or the 3-8 embodiment. For example, in the FDD, if the PDSCH is received in the subframe n, +2 transmits HARQ ACK / NACK information through the PUCCH or PUSCH (915). It may be possible to support only one of the second timing setting 909 and the third timing setting 913 depending on the terminal or the base station.

Can be determined. In the case of TDD UL / DL setting 0

The method of determining the value may be changed according to the embodiments 3-1 to 3-4. For example, when the TDD UL / DL setting is 0 in the embodiment 3-1, the PDCCH / EPDCCH having the MSB of 1 in the UL index of the uplink DCI format is received, the PHICH is received in the subframe 1 or 6, When the PHICH is received in a subframe 0 or 5 where the I _PHICH resource is 0, the k value is determined according to Table 5, and the PDCCH / EPDCCH having the LSB of the UL index of the uplink DCI format is received , The PHICH can be determined to be 7 when the _PHICH is received in the subframe 0 or 5 where the I _PHICH resource is 1 and if the MSB and LSB of the UL index of the uplink DCI format are both 1, And in the case of transmitting the PUSCH in all of the sub-frames n + k when k follows Table 5

The value determination may be as follows. In the example of the embodiment 3-1, the DCI information for scheduling the PUSCH that can be transmitted in the subframe 3 or 8 may be transmitted in the subframe 0 or 5 of the frame, or the subframe 5 or 0 Lt; / RTI &gt; Therefore, it is necessary to specify in which subframe the PUSCH that can be transmitted in subframe 3 or 8 is scheduled for power control. In the above example, when i is a subframe 3 or 8, that is, when the PUSCH transmission is transmitted in the subframe 3 or 8, the LSB of the UL index part of the DCI format 0 or 4 or other DCI format provided on the PDCCH or EPDCCH is 1 In this case, it can be judged to be 7.

[Example 3-10]

The third to tenth embodiments describe at which timing the PHICH including the HARQ-ACK information following the PUSCH transmission is transmitted. Or, it may be described when the PHICH including the HARQ-ACK information received by the UE is associated with the transmitted PUSCH.

The UE with delay reduction can determine that the HARQ-ACK information of the PHICH transmitted in the subframe i is associated with the PUSCH transmitted in the subframe i-k. For FDD systems, k is given as 3. That is, the HARQ-ACK information of the PHICH transmitted in the subframe i in the FDD system is related to the PUSCH transmitted in the subframe i-3. In case of the TDD system, if a terminal with no EIMTA set has only one serving cell or all of them have the same TDD UL / DL setting, when the TDD UL / DL setting is 1 to 6, K &lt; / RTI &gt;

[Table 3-10]

That is, for example, in the TDD UL / DL setting 1, the PHICH transmitted in the subframe 6 may be the HARQ-ACK information of the PUSCH transmitted in the subframe 2 which is four subframes before.

If the HARQ-ACK is received in the PHICH resource corresponding to I _PHICH = 0 when the TDD UL / DL is set to 0, the PUSCH indicated by the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted from the subframe ik, 4. If the HARQ-ACK is received in the PHICH resource corresponding to I _PHICH = 1 when the TDD UL / DL is set to 0, the PUSCH indicated by the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted in the subframe i-6. The above method will be used as a method of applying to the delay reduction terminal capable of n + 3.

Alternatively, it may be modified as follows.

The UE with delay reduction can determine that the HARQ-ACK information of the PHICH transmitted in the subframe i is associated with the PUSCH transmitted in the subframe i-k. For FDD systems, k is given as 2. That is, the HARQ-ACK information of the PHICH transmitted in the subframe i in the FDD system is related to the PUSCH transmitted in the subframe i-2. In case of the TDD system, if a terminal with no EIMTA set has only one serving cell or has all the same TDD UL / DL settings, when the TDD UL / DL setting is 1 to 6, K &lt; / RTI &gt;

[Table 3-11]

That is, for example, in the TDD UL / DL setting 1, the PHICH transmitted in the subframe 6 may be the HARQ-ACK information of the PUSCH transmitted in the subframe 3 which is three subframes before.

If the HARQ-ACK is received in the PHICH resource corresponding to I _PHICH = 0 when the TDD UL / DL is set to 0, the PUSCH indicated by the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted from the subframe ik, 4. If the HARQ-ACK is received in the PHICH resource corresponding to I _PHICH = 1 when the TDD UL / DL is set to 0, the PUSCH indicated by the HARQ-ACK information is transmitted in the subframe i-3.

The operation methods corresponding to [Table 3-10] and [Table 3-11] can be selectively operated according to the upper signaling from the base station.

When referring to a subframe i-k or n-k in the present invention, when i-k or n-k is smaller than 0, the subframe i-k or n-k may mean a subframe 10 + i-k or 10 + n-k of the previous radio frame.

The third to tenth embodiments are set and used as in the third to third embodiments, the third to eighth embodiments, the third to third embodiments, and the third to fourth embodiments, And can be used to reduce the retransmission delay time.

[Example 3-11]
