In order to clarify the description, hereinafter, the present technical idea is mainly described with respect to a 3GPP LTE/LTE-A/NR (New RAT) communication system, but the present technical feature is not limited thereto.

After research on 4G (4th-Generation) communication technology, 3GPP is conducting research on 5G (5th-Generation) communication technology to meet the requirements of ITU-R's next-generation wireless access technology. Specifically, 3GPP is conducting research on LTE-A pro, which has improved LTE-Advanced technology as a 5G communication technology in accordance with the requirements of ITU-R, and a new NR communication technology separate from 4G communication technology. It is expected that both LTE-A pro and NR will be submitted as 5G communication technology, but in the following, for convenience of explanation, these embodiments will be described focusing on NR.

The operation scenario in NR defined various operation scenarios by adding considerations to satellites, automobiles, and new verticals from the existing 4G LTE scenario.In terms of service, eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband) scenario, high terminal density, but wide It is deployed in the range and supports the mMTC (Massive Machine Communication) scenario that requires a low data rate and asynchronous connection, and the URLLC (Ultra Reliability and Low Latency) scenario that requires high responsiveness and reliability and supports high-speed mobility. .

In order to satisfy this scenario, NR discloses a wireless communication system to which a new waveform and frame structure technology, a low latency technology, a mmWave support technology, and a forward compatible provision technology are applied. In particular, in the NR system, various technical changes are proposed in terms of flexibility to provide forward compatibility. Main technical features will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<NR system general>

1 is a diagram schematically showing a structure of an NR system to which this embodiment can be applied.

1, the NR system is divided into 5GC (5G Core Network) and NR-RAN parts, and NG-RAN controls user plane (SDAP/PDCP/RLC/MAC/PHY) and UE (User Equipment). It is composed of gNB and ng-eNB that provide plane (RRC) protocol termination. The gNB or gNB and ng-eNB are interconnected through an Xn interface. The gNB and ng-eNB are each connected to 5GC through the NG interface. The 5GC may include an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) in charge of a control plane such as a terminal access and mobility control function, and a User Plane Function (UPF) in charge of a control function for user data. NR includes support for both frequency bands below 6GHz (FR1, Frequency Range 1) and frequencies above 6GHz (FR2, Frequency Range 2).

gNB means a base station that provides NR user plane and control plane protocol termination to a terminal, and ng-eNB means a base station that provides E-UTRA user plane and control plane protocol termination to a terminal. The base station described in the present specification should be understood in a sense encompassing gNB and ng-eNB, and may be used as a means to distinguish between gNB or ng-eNB as necessary.

<NR wave form, numer roller and frame structure>

In NR, a CP-OFDM waveform using a cyclic prefix is used for downlink transmission, and CP-OFDM or DFT-s-OFDM is used for uplink transmission. OFDM technology is easy to combine with MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output), and has the advantage of being able to use a low complexity receiver with high frequency efficiency.

On the other hand, in NR, since the requirements for data rate, delay rate, and coverage are different for each of the three scenarios described above, it is necessary to efficiently satisfy the requirements for each scenario through a frequency band constituting an arbitrary NR system. . To this end, a technique for efficiently multiplexing a plurality of different numerology-based radio resources has been proposed.

값이 2의 지수 값으로 사용되어 지수적으로 변경된다.Specifically, the NR transmission neuron is determined based on sub-carrier spacing and CP (Cyclic prefix), based on 15khz as shown in Table 1 below.

The value is used as an exponential value of 2 and changes exponentially.

Subcarrier spacing Cyclic prefix Supported for data Supported for synch 0 15 Normal Yes Yes One 30 Normal Yes Yes 2 60 Normal, Extended Yes No 3 120 Normal Yes Yes 4 240 Normal No Yes

As shown in Table 1 above, the NR numer rollers can be classified into 5 types according to the subcarrier interval. This is different from the fixed subcarrier spacing of 15khz of LTE, one of the 4G communication technologies. Specifically, subcarrier intervals used for data transmission in NR are 15, 30, 60, and 120khz, and subcarrier intervals used for synchronization signal transmission are 15, 30, 12, and 240khz. In addition, the extended CP is applied only to the 60khz subcarrier interval. Meanwhile, a frame structure in NR is defined as a frame having a length of 10 ms consisting of 10 subframes having the same length of 1 ms. One frame can be divided into 5 ms half frames, and each half frame includes 5 subframes. In the case of the 15khz subcarrier interval, one subframe consists of 1 slot, and each slot consists of 14 OFDM symbols.

2 is a diagram for explaining a frame structure in an NR system to which this embodiment can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 2, in the case of a normal CP, a slot is fixedly composed of 14 OFDM symbols, but the length of the slot may vary according to the subcarrier interval. For example, in the case of a newer roller having a 15khz subcarrier interval, a slot is 1ms long and has the same length as the subframe. In contrast, in the case of a newer roller with a 30khz subcarrier spacing, a slot consists of 14 OFDM symbols, but two slots may be included in one subframe with a length of 0.5ms. That is, the subframe and the frame are defined with a fixed time length, and the slot is defined by the number of symbols, and the time length may vary according to the subcarrier interval.

Meanwhile, NR defines a basic unit of scheduling as a slot, and introduces a mini-slot (or sub-slot or non-slot based schedule) in order to reduce the transmission delay of the radio section. If a wide subcarrier spacing is used, the length of one slot is shortened in inverse proportion, so that transmission delay in the radio section can be reduced. The mini-slot (or sub-slot) is for efficient support for the URLLC scenario, and scheduling is possible in units of 2, 4, or 7 symbols.

In addition, unlike LTE, NR defines uplink and downlink resource allocation as a symbol level within one slot. In order to reduce HARQ delay, a slot structure capable of transmitting HARQ ACK/NACK directly within a transmission slot has been defined, and this slot structure is named and described as a self-contained structure.

NR is designed to support a total of 256 slot formats, of which 62 slot formats are used in Rel-15. In addition, a common frame structure constituting an FDD or TDD frame is supported through a combination of various slots. For example, a slot structure in which all symbols of a slot are set to downlink, a slot structure in which all symbols are set to uplink, and a slot structure in which a downlink symbol and an uplink symbol are combined are supported. In addition, NR supports that data transmission is distributed and scheduled in one or more slots. Accordingly, the base station may inform the UE of whether the slot is a downlink slot, an uplink slot, or a flexible slot using a slot format indicator (SFI). The base station can indicate the slot format by indicating the index of the table configured through RRC signaling specifically through the UE, using SFI, and dynamically indicate through Downlink Control Information (DCI) or statically or semi-statically through RRC. May be.

<NR physical resource>

Regarding the physical resource in NR, the antenna port, resource grid, resource element, resource block, bandwidth part, etc. are considered. Can be.

The antenna port is defined so that a channel carrying a symbol on an antenna port can be inferred from a channel carrying another symbol on the same antenna port. When the large-scale property of a channel carrying a symbol on one antenna port can be inferred from a channel carrying a symbol on another antenna port, the two antenna ports are QC/QCL (quasi co-located or quasi co-location) relationship. Here, the wide-range characteristic includes one or more of delay spread, Doppler spread, frequency shift, average received power, and received timing.

3 is a diagram illustrating a resource grid supported by a radio access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 3, since the NR supports a plurality of neurons in the same carrier, a resource grid may exist according to each neuron in the resource grid. In addition, the resource grid may exist according to an antenna port, a subcarrier spacing, and a transmission direction.

A resource block consists of 12 subcarriers, and is defined only in the frequency domain. In addition, a resource element consists of one OFDM symbol and one subcarrier. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 3, the size of one resource block may vary according to the subcarrier interval. In addition, NR defines “Point A” that serves as a common reference point for the resource block grid, a common resource block, and a virtual resource block.

4 is a diagram for explaining a bandwidth part supported by a wireless access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

In NR, unlike LTE where the carrier bandwidth is fixed at 20Mhz, the maximum carrier bandwidth is set from 50Mhz to 400Mhz for each subcarrier interval. Therefore, it is not assumed that all terminals use all of these carrier bandwidths. Accordingly, in the NR, as shown in FIG. 4, the terminal can use the bandwidth part by designating the bandwidth part within the carrier bandwidth. In addition, the bandwidth part is associated with one neurology and is composed of a subset of consecutive common resource blocks, and can be dynamically activated over time. The UE is configured with up to four bandwidth parts, respectively, in uplink and downlink, and data is transmitted and received using the active bandwidth part at a given time.

In the case of a paired spectrum, uplink and downlink bandwidth parts are independently set, and in the case of an unpaired spectrum, unnecessary frequency re-tuning between downlink and uplink operations is prevented. For this purpose, the downlink and uplink bandwidth parts are set in pairs to share a center frequency.

<NR initial connection>

In NR, the terminal accesses the base station and performs cell search and random access procedures to perform communication.

Cell search is a procedure in which a terminal synchronizes with a cell of a corresponding base station, obtains a physical layer cell ID, and obtains system information by using a synchronization signal block (SSB) transmitted by a base station.

5 is a diagram illustrating a synchronization signal block in a wireless access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 5, an SSB consists of a primary synchronization signal (PSS) and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS) occupying 1 symbol and 127 subcarriers, respectively, and a PBCH spanning 3 OFDM symbols and 240 subcarriers.

The terminal receives the SSB by monitoring the SSB in the time and frequency domain.

SSB can be transmitted up to 64 times in 5ms. A plurality of SSBs are transmitted in different transmission beams within 5 ms time, and the UE performs detection on the assumption that SSBs are transmitted every 20 ms period based on one specific beam used for transmission. The number of beams that can be used for SSB transmission within 5 ms time may increase as the frequency band increases. For example, up to 4 SSB beams can be transmitted under 3GHz, and up to 8 in a frequency band of 3 to 6GHz, and a maximum of 64 different beams in a frequency band of 6GHz or higher can be used to transmit SSBs.

Two SSBs are included in one slot, and the start symbol and the number of repetitions in the slot are determined according to the subcarrier interval as follows.

Meanwhile, the SSB is not transmitted at the center frequency of the carrier bandwidth, unlike the conventional LTE SS. That is, the SSB may be transmitted even in a place other than the center of the system band, and a plurality of SSBs may be transmitted in the frequency domain when broadband operation is supported. Accordingly, the UE monitors the SSB by using a synchronization raster, which is a candidate frequency location for monitoring the SSB. The carrier raster and synchronization raster, which are information on the center frequency of the channel for initial access, have been newly defined in NR, and the synchronization raster has a wider frequency interval than the carrier raster to support fast SSB search of the terminal. I can.

The UE can acquire the MIB through the PBCH of the SSB. The MIB (Master Information Block) includes minimum information for the terminal to receive remaining system information (RMSI, Remaining Minimum System Information) broadcast by the network. In addition, PBCH is information about the location of the first DM-RS symbol in the time domain, information for the UE to monitor SIB1 (e.g., SIB1 neurology information, information related to SIB1 CORESET, search space information, PDCCH Related parameter information, etc.), offset information between the common resource block and the SSB (the position of the absolute SSB in the carrier is transmitted through SIB1), and the like. Here, the SIB1 neurology information is equally applied to messages 2 and 4 of the random access procedure for accessing the base station after the terminal completes the cell search procedure.

The aforementioned RMSI means SIB1 (System Information Block 1), and SIB1 is broadcast periodically (ex, 160 ms) in a cell. SIB1 includes information necessary for the UE to perform an initial random access procedure, and is periodically transmitted through the PDSCH. In order for the UE to receive SIB1, it is necessary to receive newer roller information used for SIB1 transmission and CORESET (Control Resource Set) information used for SIB1 scheduling through the PBCH. The UE checks scheduling information for SIB1 using SI-RNTI in CORESET, and acquires SIB1 on the PDSCH according to the scheduling information. SIBs other than SIB1 may be periodically transmitted or may be transmitted according to the request of the terminal.

6 is a diagram for explaining a random access procedure in a radio access technology to which the present embodiment can be applied.

Referring to FIG. 6, when the cell search is completed, the UE transmits a random access preamble for random access to the base station. The random access preamble is transmitted through the PRACH. Specifically, the random access preamble is transmitted to the base station through a PRACH consisting of consecutive radio resources in a specific slot that is periodically repeated. In general, when a terminal initially accesses a cell, a contention-based random access procedure is performed, and when a random access is performed for beam failure recovery (BFR), a contention-free random access procedure is performed.

The terminal receives a random access response to the transmitted random access preamble. The random access response may include a random access preamble identifier (ID), a UL Grant (uplink radio resource), a temporary C-RNTI (Temporary Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier), and a TAC (Time Alignment Command). Since one random access response may include random access response information for one or more terminals, the random access preamble identifier may be included to inform which terminal the included UL Grant, temporary C-RNTI, and TAC are valid. The random access preamble identifier may be an identifier for the random access preamble received by the base station. TAC may be included as information for the UE to adjust uplink synchronization. The random access response may be indicated by a random access identifier on the PDCCH, that is, a Random Access-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RA-RNTI).

Upon receiving a valid random access response, the terminal processes information included in the random access response and performs scheduled transmission to the base station. For example, the UE applies TAC and stores a temporary C-RNTI. Also, by using UL Grant, data stored in the buffer of the terminal or newly generated data is transmitted to the base station. In this case, information for identifying the terminal should be included.

Finally, the terminal receives a downlink message for resolving contention.

<NR CORESET>

The downlink control channel in NR is transmitted in CORESET (Control Resource Set) having a length of 1 to 3 symbols, and transmits uplink/downlink scheduling information, SFI (Slot Format Index), and TPC (Transmit Power Control) information. .

In this way, NR introduced the concept of CORESET to secure system flexibility. CORESET (Control Resource Set) means a time-frequency resource for a downlink control signal. The terminal may decode the control channel candidate using one or more search spaces in the CORESET time-frequency resource. A QCL (Quasi CoLocation) assumption for each CORESET is set, and this is used to inform the characteristics of the analog beam direction in addition to the delay spread, Doppler spread, Doppler shift, and average delay, which are characteristics assumed by conventional QCL.

7 is a diagram for explaining CORESET.

Referring to FIG. 7, CORESET may exist in various forms within a carrier bandwidth within one slot, and CORESET may consist of up to 3 OFDM symbols in the time domain. In addition, CORESET is defined as a multiple of 6 resource blocks up to the carrier bandwidth in the frequency domain.

The first CORESET is indicated through the MIB as part of the initial bandwidth part configuration so that additional configuration information and system information can be received from the network. After establishing the connection with the base station, the terminal may receive and configure one or more CORESET information through RRC signaling.

In this specification, frequencies, frames, subframes, resources, resource blocks, regions, bands, subbands, control channels, data channels, synchronization signals, various reference signals, various signals, and various messages related to NR (New Radio) Can be interpreted as a meaning used in the past or present, or in various meanings used in the future.

New Radio (NR)

3GPP recently approved “Study on New Radio Access Technology”, a study item for research on next-generation radio access technology (ie 5G radio access technology), and based on this, RAN WG1 has a frame structure for each NR (New Radio). , channel coding & modulation, waveform & multiple access scheme, etc. are being designed. NR is required to be designed to satisfy not only an improved data transmission rate compared to LTE, but also various QoS requirements for each segmented and specified usage scenario. In particular, eMBB (Enhancement Mobile BroadBand), mMTC (massive MTC), and URLLC (Ultra Reliable and Low Latency Communications) are defined as representative usage scenarios of NR, and as a method to satisfy the requirements for each usage scenario, a flexible frame compared to LTE Structure design is required. Since each usage scenario has different requirements for data rates, latency, reliability, coverage, etc., it is a method to efficiently satisfy the requirements for each usage scenario through the frequency band constituting an arbitrary NR system. eg subcarrier spacing, subframe, TTI, etc.) There is a need for a method of efficiently multiplexing based radio resource units.

As one method for this, a method of multiplexing and supporting based on TDM, FDM, or TDM/FDM through one or more NR component carrier(s) for numerology having different subcarrier spacing values, and scheduling units in the time domain. In the configuration, a discussion was made on how to support more than one time unit. In this regard, in NR, a subframe was defined as a kind of time domain structure, and 14 OFDM symbols of normal CP overhead based on 15kHz SCS (Sub-Carrier Spacing), which is the same as LTE, as a reference numerology for defining the corresponding subframe duration. It was decided to define a single subframe duration composed of. Accordingly, in NR, the subframe has a time duration of 1 ms. However, unlike LTE, a subframe of NR is an absolute reference time duration, and slots and mini-slots may be defined as time units that are the basis of actual uplink/downlink data scheduling. In this case, the number and y values of OFDM symbols constituting the corresponding slot are determined to have a value of y=14 regardless of the SCS value in the case of normal CP.

Accordingly, a random slot consists of 14 symbols, and according to the transmission direction of the corresponding slot, all symbols are used for DL transmission, or all symbols are used for UL transmission, or DL portion + (gap) + It can be used in the form of a UL portion.

In addition, a mini-slot consisting of fewer symbols than the slot is defined in an arbitrary numerology (or SCS), and based on this, a short time-domain scheduling interval for uplink/downlink data transmission/reception is set, or slot aggregation A long time-domain scheduling interval for transmitting/receiving uplink/downlink data may be configured through. In particular, in the case of transmission and reception of latency critical data such as URLLC, it is difficult to satisfy the latency requirement when scheduling is performed in a slot unit based on 1ms (14 symbols) defined in a numerology-based frame structure with a small SCS value such as 15kHz. Therefore, for this purpose, a mini-slot consisting of fewer OFDM symbols than the corresponding slot can be defined, and based on this, it can be defined to perform scheduling for latency critical data such as the corresponding URLLC.

Alternatively, as described above, by multiplexing and supporting numerology having different SCS values in one NR Carrier in a TDM and/or FDM method, based on the slot (or mini-slot) length defined for each numerology. Scheduling data according to latency requirements is also being considered. For example, as shown in Figure 1 below, when the SCS is 60 kHz, the symbol length is reduced by about 1/4 compared to the SCS 15 kHz, so when one slot is configured with the same 14 OFDM symbols, the corresponding 15 kHz-based slot While the length becomes 1ms, the slot length based on 60kHz is reduced to about 0.25ms.

As described above, in NR, by defining different SCS or different TTI lengths, a discussion on a method of satisfying the requirements of URLLC and eMBB is in progress.

PDCCH

In NR and LTE/LTE-A systems, L1 control information such as DL assignment Downlink Control Information (DCI) and UL grant DCI is transmitted and received through PDCCH. A control channel element (CCE) is defined as a resource unit for transmission of the PDCCH, and in NR, a control resource set (CORESET), which is a frequency/time resource for transmission of a PDCCH, may be set for each terminal. In addition, each CORESET may consist of one or more search spaces composed of one or more PDCCH candidates for the UE to monitor the PDCCH.

Wider bandwidth operations

In the case of the existing LTE system, a scalable bandwidth operation for any LTC CC (Component Carrier) was supported. That is, depending on the frequency deployment scenario, in configuring one LTE CC, an LTE operator could configure a bandwidth of a minimum of 1.4 MHz to a maximum of 20 MHz, and a normal LTE terminal has a 20 MHz bandwidth for one LTE CC. Supported transmission/reception capability.

However, in the case of NR, the design is made to enable support for NR terminals having different transmission/reception bandwidth capabilities through one wideband NR CC, and accordingly, it is subdivided for arbitrary NR CCs as shown in Figure 2 below. It is required to configure one or more bandwidth part(s) consisting of the bandwidth, and to support flexible wider bandwidth operation through different bandwidth part configuration and activation for each terminal.

Specifically, in the NR, one or more bandwidth parts can be configured through one serving cell configured from the viewpoint of the UE, and the UE activates one DL bandwidth part and one UL bandwidth part in the corresponding serving cell to provide uplink/downlink data It is defined to be used for sending and receiving. In addition, when a plurality of serving cells are configured in the corresponding terminal, that is, for a terminal to which CA is applied, one DL bandwidth part and/or UL bandwidth part are activated for each serving cell, and up/down direction is performed using radio resources of the corresponding serving cell. It is defined to be used for sending and receiving link data.

Specifically, an initial bandwidth part for an initial access procedure of a terminal in an arbitrary serving cell is defined, one or more UE-specific bandwidth part(s) is configured through dedicated RRC signaling for each terminal, and fallback for each terminal A default bandwidth part for operation can be defined.

However, it can be defined to activate and use a plurality of DL and/or UL bandwidth parts at the same time according to the capability and bandwidth part(s) configuration of the terminal in an arbitrary serving cell, but in NR rel-15, an arbitrary terminal It was defined to activate and use only one DL bandwidth part and UL bandwidth part at a time.

Discontinuous transmission indication for DL

As a multiplexing method for downlink data of different transmission durations defined in NR, a method of indicating discontinuous transmission through group common PDCCH has been defined. That is, when a certain UE receives indication information for discontinuous transmission, the UE preemption for data transmission of another UE for some time/frequency resources among PDSCH transmission resources allocated for the UE according to the indication information Was able to confirm the presence or absence of.

The present invention proposes a preemption-based uplink data channel transmission/reception method for efficiently multiplexing uplink data transmission resources between terminals having different latency requirements. In particular, a method of applying a UL cancellation indication message for PUSCH transmission including UCI will be specifically proposed.

As a usage scenario provided by NR and LTE/LTE-A systems, the importance of efficient support for data related to URLLC service that requires low latency/high reliability along with eMBB service-related data support to maximize data transmission speed is increasing. Are doing.

In particular, in the case of uplink data transmission for URLLC in order to satisfy a requirement for a delay time, a part of uplink data transmission resources of another terminal that has already been scheduled may be preempted and transmitted, similar to the downlink case described above.

To this end, the UL preemption indication or discontinuous UL transmission indication or suspending UL transmission in order to stop the UL data channel (PUSCH) transmission of the UE currently transmitting uplink data and use the corresponding resource for UL data transmission of the URLLC UE. It is necessary to support an indication or a UL cancellation indication (however, the present invention is not limited by a specific term for a corresponding indication) and define a specific UE operation method for this. In the present invention, a UL cancellation indication is used for convenience of description, but as described above, this may be referred to as a UL preemption indication, a discontinuous UL transmission indication or suspending UL transmission indication or another term, by its name. The present invention is not limited.

The present invention proposes a method of operating a UE for partially or fully overlapped with a PUSCH transmission resource of a UE canceled or stopped through a UL cancellation indication and a UCI piggyback resource within a PUSCH of the UE.

UCI multiplexing on PUSCH

In NR, if the PUSCH transmission resource allocated for a certain UE in a random slot and the PUCCH transmission resource allocated for UCI transmission of the UE are fully or partially overlapped in a time period, the UE piggybacks UCI to PUSCH Defined to transmit. Specifically, when the corresponding UCI is HARQ-ACK feedback information, some of the allocated PUSCH resources are puncturing to transmit the corresponding HARQ-ACK feedback information, and in the case of CSI feedback information, the UL-SCH and the UL-SCH within the allocated PUSCH resource It is defined to be transmitted by multiplexing.

UL cancellation indication

Upon receiving the UL cancellation indication information, the UE cancels all PUSCH transmission after receiving the corresponding UL cancellation indication message as shown in Figure 3 below, or stops PUSCH transmission for a certain duration as shown in Figure 4 and then resumes operation. I can. However, a specific operation method when the UE performing or instructed to perform PUSCH transmission including UCI proposed below receives a UL cancellation indication message, the operation of canceling PUSCH transmission according to the UL cancellation indication message is as follows. It can be applied to all cases defined to cancel all remaining PUSCH transmission as shown in Fig. 3, or to resume remaining PUSCH transmission after stopping PUSCH transmission for a certain duration as shown in Fig. 4.

When a UE performing PUSCH transmission including UCI or a UE to be performed receives a UL cancellation indication message and PUSCH transmission cancellation for some of the corresponding PUSCH transmission resources is indicated according to the corresponding UL cancellation indication message, the corresponding UE It can be defined to apply a corresponding PUSCH transmission cancellation operation differently depending on whether the resource for which transmission cancellation is indicated is a resource for UCI transmission.

Method 1. A method for defining PUSCH transmission including UCI so that the UE does not expect PUSCH transmission cancellation/stop according to UL cancellation indication

For PUSCH transmission in which UCI piggyback has been made, it may be defined not to expect reception of the UL cancellation indication. That is, it may be defined not to perform UL cancellation indication monitoring for PUSCH transmission including UCI, regardless of whether or not monitoring is configured for the UL cancellation indication message in any terminal. Alternatively, even if a UL cancellation indication for PUSCH transmission including UCI is received, the UE may be defined to ignore it. That is, the UL cancellation indication is defined to be applied only to PUSCH transmission including only UL-SCH transmission, and for PUSCH transmission including UCI, it may be defined not to expect cancellation or suspension of PUSCH transmission according to UL cancellation indication.

Alternatively, even in the case of a PUSCH in which UCI piggyback is performed, the UE can be defined to ignore the corresponding UL cancellation indication only when the PUSCH resource in which cancellation is indicated according to the actual UL cancellation indication message partially or fully overlaps the resource for actual UCI transmission. have. That is, the UL cancellation indication for any on-going PUSCH transmission or transmission scheduled (i.e., receiving a UL grant and preparing PUSCH transmission accordingly, or has completed preparation) in a terminal configured to monitor UL cancellation indication information When PUSCH cancellation in some resources of the corresponding PUSCH transmission is indicated according to the information, the corresponding terminal responds to the indication of the UL cancellation indication message only when the resource for which the corresponding PUSCH cancellation is indicated is a resource mapped for UL-SCH only. Accordingly, it can be defined to cancel or stop PUSCH transmission. That is, when the resource for which the PUSCH cancellation is indicated according to the UL cancellation indication message is piggybacked to the corresponding PUSCH transmission and is fully or partially overlapped with the mapped resource for UCI transmission such as HARQ-ACK feedback or CSI feedback, the corresponding terminal Can be defined to normally transmit the corresponding PUSCH without canceling or stopping the corresponding PUSCH transmission regardless of the indication of the UL cancellation indication message.

Method 2. Method for defining not to expect PUSCH transmission cancellation/suspension according to UL cancellation indication for PUSCH transmission including a specific UCI type in the terminal

It is similar to the above scheme 1, but it can be defined to apply the description in the above scheme 1 only to a specific UCI type, not all UCI. For example, it may be defined to apply the contents of the scheme 1 only to HARQ-ACK feedback. That is, for PUSCH transmission in which piggyback on HARQ-ACK feedback information is performed, it may be defined so as not to expect reception of the UL cancellation indication. That is, it may be defined not to perform UL cancellation indication monitoring for PUSCH transmission including HARQ-ACK feedback information regardless of whether or not monitoring is set for the UL cancellation indication message in a certain UE. Alternatively, even when a UL cancellation indication for PUSCH transmission including HARQ-ACK feedback information is received, it may be defined to be ignored by the UE. That is, the UL cancellation indication is defined to be applied only to PUSCH transmission including only UL-SCH transmission or to PUSCH transmission in which only other UCI type (ie, CSI feedback information) excluding HARQ-ACK feedback information is piggybacked, and HARQ-ACK feedback For PUSCH transmission including information, it may be defined not to expect cancellation or suspension of PUSCH transmission according to UL cancellation indication.

Or, even in the case of a PUSCH in which piggyback for HARQ-ACK feedback information is made, the UE is only partially or fully overlapped with the resource for transmitting the actual HARQ-ACK feedback information, according to the actual UL cancellation indication message. It can be defined to ignore the corresponding UL cancellation indication. That is, the UL cancellation indication for any on-going PUSCH transmission or transmission scheduled (i.e., receiving a UL grant and preparing PUSCH transmission accordingly, or has completed preparation) in a terminal configured to monitor UL cancellation indication information When PUSCH cancellation in some resources of the corresponding PUSCH transmission is indicated according to the information, the corresponding terminal applies UL cancellation only when the resource for which the corresponding PUSCH cancellation is indicated is a resource mapped for transmission of only UL-SCH or CSI feedback information. It can be defined to cancel or stop PUSCH transmission according to the indication of the indication message. That is, when the resource for which the PUSCH cancellation is indicated according to the corresponding UL cancellation indication message is piggybacked on the corresponding PUSCH transmission and is fully or partially overlapped with the mapped resource for transmission of the HARQ-ACK feedback, the corresponding terminal Regardless of the indication, it can be defined to normally transmit the corresponding PUSCH without canceling or stopping the corresponding PUSCH transmission.

Method 3. Method for indicating whether to apply PUSCH transmission cancellation/stop, etc. according to UL cancellation indication for UCI or PUSCH transmission including a specific UCI type

The base station determines whether to apply cancellation or suspension of PUSCH transmission according to UL cancellation indication for PUSCH transmission including UCI or PUSCH transmission including a specific UCI type (eg HARQ-ACK feedback information) according to Method 1 or Method 2 above. /Can be defined to be set or directed separately in the network. For example, the base station/network sets whether to apply the UL cancellation indication for PUSCH transmission including UCI through cell-specific or UE-specific higher layer signaling (i.e., whether to apply method 1), or a specific UCI It may be defined to set whether to apply the UL cancellation indication for the PUSCH transmission including the type (ie, to set whether to apply the method 2). Or indication information on whether to apply PUSCH transmission cancellation or suspension according to UL cancellation indication for PUSCH transmission including UCI or PUSCH transmission including a specific UCI type (eg HARQ-ACK feedback information) in the UL cancellation indication message. Can be included. That is, the UL cancellation indication message is whether the corresponding UL cancellation indication is applied to the PUSCH transmission including UCI (i.e., whether method 1 is applied) or whether the corresponding UL cancellation indication is applied to the PUSCH transmission including a specific UCI type (ie , It can be defined to include an information area for indicating whether to apply the method 2). Accordingly, when the method 1 is applied, whether the base station/network will apply PUSCH transmission cancellation according to the UL cancellation indication to all PUSCH transmissions or to only PUSCH transmissions that do not include UCI (or include UCI transmission) In the case of the PUSCH, whether to apply only when the actual canceled PUSCH resource does not overlap with the resource for UCI transmission) can be defined to directly indicate through the corresponding UL cancellation indication message. Or, when the method 2 is applied, whether to apply the PUSCH transmission cancellation according to the UL cancellation indication in the base station/network to all PUSCH transmissions or to only PUSCH transmissions not including HARQ-ACK feedback information (or HARQ -In the case of PUSCH including ACK feedback information, whether to apply only when the actual canceled PUSCH resource does not overlap with the resource for HARQ-ACK feedback information transmission) can be defined to directly indicate through the corresponding UL cancellation indication message have.

Scheme 4. Method of defining UCI transmission through Remaining PUSCH transmission

UL cancellation is also performed for PUSCH including UCI or HARQ-ACK feedback information only when PUSCH transmission is defined to resume after partial cancellation of PUSCH transmission according to UL cancellation indication (i.e., in the case of Figure 4 above) However, it may be defined to preferentially transmit UCI transmission canceled by the corresponding UL cancellation indication through PUSCH transmission resumed through remaining resources. For example, when the PUSCH transmission resource canceled by the UL cancellation indication is a resource for transmitting HARQ-ACK feedback information, it may be defined to preferentially transmit the corresponding HARQ-ACK feedback information through the resumed PUSCH transmission.
