Description

ユーザ端末及び無線通信方法User terminal and wireless communication method
　本開示は、次世代移動通信システムにおけるユーザ端末及び無線通信方法に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a user terminal and a wireless communication method in a next-generation mobile communication system.
　Universal　Mobile　Telecommunications　System（ＵＭＴＳ）ネットワークにおいて、更なる高速データレート、低遅延などを目的としてLong　Term　Evolution（ＬＴＥ）が仕様化された（非特許文献１）。また、ＬＴＥ（Third　Generation　Partnership　Project（３ＧＰＰ）　Release（Ｒｅｌ．）８、９）の更なる大容量、高度化などを目的として、ＬＴＥ－Ａｄｖａｎｃｅｄ（３ＧＰＰ　Ｒｅｌ．１０－１４）が仕様化された。 In the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network, Long Term Evolution (LTE) has been specified for the purpose of further high-speed data rate, low latency, etc. (Non-Patent Document 1). In addition, LTE-Advanced (3GPP Rel.10-14) has been specified for the purpose of further increasing the capacity and sophistication of LTE (Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release (Rel.) 8, 9).
　ＬＴＥの後継システム（例えば、5th　generation　mobile　communication　system（５Ｇ）、５Ｇ＋（plus）、New　Radio（ＮＲ）、３ＧＰＰ　Ｒｅｌ．１５以降などともいう）も検討されている。 A successor system to LTE (for example, 5th generation mobile communication system (5G), 5G + (plus), New Radio (NR), 3GPP Rel.15 or later, etc.) is also being considered.
　将来の無線通信システム（例えば、ＮＲ）では、プリコーディング行列を用いたコードブックベース送信をサポートすることが検討されている。 Future wireless communication systems (eg, NR) are being considered to support codebook-based transmission using precoding matrices.
　しかしながら、これまでのＲｅｌ－１５　ＮＲの仕様では、ＵＥが複数のポートを用いてコードブックベース送信する場合に、一部のコードブックを利用すると、シングルポートの場合と比べて送信電力が小さくなる（フルパワー送信ができない）場合がある。例えば、一部のアンテナポートにつながるパワーアンプ（Power　Amplifier（ＰＡ））が最大定格電力を出力可能なＰＡ（フルレイテッドＰＡ（full　rated　PA））でない場合には、フルパワー送信できないおそれがある。フルパワー送信できない場合、カバレッジの減少などが生じ、通信スループットの増大が抑制されるおそれがある。 However, in the specifications of Rel-15 NR so far, when the UE uses a plurality of ports for codebook-based transmission, if some codebooks are used, the transmission power becomes smaller than that in the case of a single port. (Full power transmission is not possible). For example, if the power amplifier (Power Amplifier (PA)) connected to some antenna ports is not a PA (full rated PA) that can output the maximum rated power, full power transmission may not be possible. If full power transmission is not possible, coverage may decrease and the increase in communication throughput may be suppressed.
　そこで、本開示は、適切にフルパワー送信を制御できるユーザ端末及び無線通信方法を提供することを目的の１つとする。 Therefore, one of the purposes of the present disclosure is to provide a user terminal and a wireless communication method capable of appropriately controlling full power transmission.
　本開示の一態様に係るユーザ端末は、下り制御情報に基づいて、上りリンク送信に適用するプリコーディング行列を決定し、設定されたコードブックサブセットに該当しないコードブックが前記下り制御情報によって指定される場合、各アンテナポートに適用する巡回遅延を決定する制御部と、前記上りリンク送信に前記巡回遅延に基づく巡回遅延ダイバーシティ（Cyclic　Delay　Diversity（ＣＤＤ））を適用してフルパワー送信を行う送信部と、を有することを特徴とする。 The user terminal according to one aspect of the present disclosure determines a precoding matrix to be applied to uplink transmission based on the downlink control information, and a codebook that does not correspond to the set codebook subset is designated by the downlink control information. In this case, a control unit that determines the circulation delay applied to each antenna port, and a transmission unit that applies the circulation delay diversity (Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD)) based on the circulation delay to the uplink transmission to perform full power transmission. And, characterized by having.
　本開示の一態様によれば、適切にフルパワー送信を制御できる。 According to one aspect of the present disclosure, full power transmission can be appropriately controlled.

（ＰＵＳＣＨプリコーダ）
　ＮＲでは、ＵＥがコードブック（Codebook（ＣＢ））ベース送信及びノンコードブック（Non-Codebook（ＮＣＢ））ベース送信の少なくとも一方をサポートすることが検討されている。 (PUSCH precoder)
In the NR, it is considered that the UE supports at least one of codebook (Codebook (CB))-based transmission and non-codebook (Non-Codebook (NCB)) -based transmission.
　例えば、ＵＥは少なくとも測定用参照信号（Sounding　Reference　Signal（ＳＲＳ））リソースインデックス（SRS　Resource　Index（ＳＲＩ））を用いて、ＣＢベース及びＮＣＢベースの少なくとも一方の上り共有チャネル（Physical　Uplink　Shared　Channel（ＰＵＳＣＨ））送信のためのプリコーダ（プリコーディング行列）を判断することが検討されている。 For example, the UE uses at least the measurement reference signal (Sounding Reference Signal (SRS)) resource index (SRS Resource Index (SRI)) to use at least one of the CB-based and NCB-based uplink shared channels (PUSCH). )) It is being considered to determine the precoder (precoding matrix) for transmission.
　ＵＥは、ＣＢベース送信の場合、ＳＲＩ、送信ランク指標（Transmitted　Rank　Indicator（ＴＲＩ））及び送信プリコーディング行列指標（Transmitted　Precoding　Matrix　Indicator（ＴＰＭＩ））などに基づいて、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信のためのプリコーダを決定してもよい。ＵＥは、ＮＣＢベース送信の場合、ＳＲＩに基づいてＰＵＳＣＨ送信のためのプリコーダを決定してもよい。 In the case of CB-based transmission, the UE determines the precoder for PUSCH transmission based on the SRI, transmission rank index (Transmitted Rank Indicator (TRI)), transmission precoding matrix index (Transmitted Precoding Matrix Indicator (TPMI)), and the like. You may. In the case of NCB-based transmission, the UE may determine a precoder for PUSCH transmission based on SRI.
　ＳＲＩ、ＴＲＩ、ＴＰＭＩなどは、下り制御情報（Downlink　Control　Information（ＤＣＩ））を用いてＵＥに通知されてもよい。ＳＲＩは、ＤＣＩのSRS　Resource　Indicatorフィールド（ＳＲＩフィールド）によって指定されてもよいし、コンフィギュアドグラントＰＵＳＣＨ（configured　grant　PUSCH）のＲＲＣ情報要素「ConfiguredGrantConfig」に含まれるパラメータ「srs-ResourceIndicator」によって指定されてもよい。ＴＲＩ及びＴＰＭＩは、ＤＣＩのPrecoding　information　and　number　of　layersフィールドによって指定されてもよい。 SRI, TRI, TPMI, etc. may be notified to the UE using downlink control information (DCI). The SRI may be specified by the SRS Resource Indicator field (SRI field) of DCI, or by the parameter "srs-ResourceIndicator" included in the RRC information element "Configured GrantConfig" of the confid grant PUSCH (configured grant PUSCH). You may. TRI and TPMI may be specified by the Precoding information and number of layers field of DCI.
　ＵＥは、プリコーダタイプに関するＵＥ能力情報（UE　capability　information）を報告し、基地局から上位レイヤシグナリングによって当該ＵＥ能力情報に基づくプリコーダタイプを設定されてもよい。当該ＵＥ能力情報は、ＵＥがＰＵＳＣＨ送信において用いるプリコーダタイプの情報（ＲＲＣパラメータ「pusch-TransCoherence」で表されてもよい）であってもよい。 The UE may report UE capability information regarding the precoder type, and the precoder type based on the UE capability information may be set by higher layer signaling from the base station. The UE capability information may be precoder type information (may be represented by the RRC parameter "pusch-Trans Coherence") used by the UE in PUSCH transmission.
　本開示において、上位レイヤシグナリングは、例えば、Radio　Resource　Control（ＲＲＣ）シグナリング、Medium　Access　Control（ＭＡＣ）シグナリング、ブロードキャスト情報などのいずれか、又はこれらの組み合わせであってもよい。 In the present disclosure, the upper layer signaling may be, for example, any one of Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Medium Access Control (MAC) signaling, broadcast information, or a combination thereof.
　ＭＡＣシグナリングは、例えば、ＭＡＣ制御要素（MAC　Control　Element（ＭＡＣ　ＣＥ））、ＭＡＣ　Protocol　Data　Unit（ＰＤＵ）などを用いてもよい。ブロードキャスト情報は、例えば、マスタ情報ブロック（Master　Information　Block（ＭＩＢ））、システム情報ブロック（System　Information　Block（ＳＩＢ））などであってもよい。 For MAC signaling, for example, a MAC control element (MAC Control Element (MAC CE)), a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU), or the like may be used. The broadcast information may be, for example, a master information block (Master Information Block (MIB)), a system information block (System Information Block (SIB)), or the like.
　ＵＥは、上位レイヤシグナリングで通知されるＰＵＳＣＨ設定情報（ＲＲＣシグナリングの「PUSCH-Config」情報要素）に含まれるプリコーダタイプの情報（ＲＲＣパラメータ「codebookSubset」で表されてもよい）に基づいて、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信に用いるプリコーダを決定してもよい。ＵＥは、codebookSubsetによって、ＴＰＭＩによって指定されるＰＭＩのサブセットを設定されてもよい。 The UE is based on the precoder type information (which may be represented by the RRC parameter "codebookSubset") included in the PUSCH setting information (the "PUSCH-Config" information element of RRC signaling) notified by the upper layer signaling. The precoder used for PUSCH transmission may be determined. The UE may be configured by the codebookSubset with a subset of PMI specified by TPMI.
　なお、プリコーダタイプは、完全コヒーレント（full　coherent、fully　coherent、coherent）、部分コヒーレント（partial　coherent）及びノンコヒーレント（non　coherent、非コヒーレント）のいずれか又はこれらの少なくとも２つの組み合わせ（例えば、「完全及び部分及びノンコヒーレント（fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent）」、「部分及びノンコヒーレント（partialAndNonCoherent）」などのパラメータで表されてもよい）によって指定されてもよい。 The precoder type is either full coherent (full coherent, fully coherent, coherent), partial coherent (non-coherent) or non-coherent (non-coherent), or at least two combinations thereof (for example, "complete". And may be represented by parameters such as "fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent", "partialAndNonCoherent").
　完全コヒーレントは、送信に用いるアンテナポートの同期がとれている（位相を合わせることができる、適用するプリコーダが同じである、などと表現されてもよい）ことを意味してもよい。部分コヒーレントは、送信に用いるアンテナポートのうち、一部は同期がとれているが、同期がとれないことを意味してもよい。ノンコヒーレントは、送信に用いるアンテナポートの同期がとれないことを意味してもよい。 Completely coherent may mean that the antenna ports used for transmission are synchronized (may be expressed as being able to match the phase, applying the same precoder, etc.). Partial coherent may mean that some of the antenna ports used for transmission are synchronized, but not synchronized. Non-coherent may mean that the antenna port used for transmission cannot be synchronized.
　なお、完全コヒーレントのプリコーダタイプをサポートするＵＥは、部分コヒーレント及びノンコヒーレントのプリコーダタイプをサポートすると想定されてもよい。部分コヒーレントのプリコーダタイプをサポートするＵＥは、ノンコヒーレントのプリコーダタイプをサポートすると想定されてもよい。 Note that a UE that supports a fully coherent precoder type may be assumed to support a partially coherent and non-coherent precoder type. UEs that support partially coherent precoder types may be expected to support non-coherent precoder types.
　プリコーダタイプは、コヒーレンシー、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信コヒーレンス、コヒーレントタイプ、コヒーレンスタイプ、コードブックタイプ、コードブックサブセット、コードブックサブセットタイプなどで読み替えられてもよい。 The precoder type may be read as coherency, PUSCH transmission coherence, coherent type, coherence type, codebook type, codebook subset, codebook subset type, and the like.
　ＵＥは、ＣＢベース送信のための複数のプリコーダ（プリコーディング行列、コードブックなどと呼ばれてもよい）から、ＵＬ送信をスケジュールするＤＣＩから得られるＴＰＭＩインデックスに対応するプリコーディング行列を決定してもよい。 The UE determines from multiple precoders for CB-based transmissions (may be referred to as precoding matrices, codebooks, etc.) the precoding matrix corresponding to the TPMI index obtained from the DCI that schedules UL transmissions. May be good.
　図１は、プリコーダタイプとＴＰＭＩインデックスとの関連付けの一例を示す図である。図１は、ＤＦＴ－ｓ－ＯＦＤＭ（Discrete　Fourier　Transform　spread　OFDM、変換プリコーディング（transform　precoding）が有効である）で４アンテナポートを用いたシングルレイヤ送信用のプリコーディング行列Ｗのテーブルに該当する。 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the association between the precoder type and the TPMI index. FIG. 1 corresponds to a table of precoding matrix W for single layer transmission using 4 antenna ports in DFT-s-OFDM (Discrete Fourier Transform spread OFDM, transform precoding is effective).
　図１において、プリコーダタイプ（codebookSubset）が、完全及び部分及びノンコヒーレント（fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent）である場合、ＵＥは、シングルレイヤ送信に対して、０から２７までのいずれかのＴＰＭＩを通知される。また、プリコーダタイプが、部分及びノンコヒーレント（partialAndNonCoherent）である場合、ＵＥは、シングルレイヤ送信に対して、０から１１までのいずれかのＴＰＭＩを設定される。プリコーダタイプが、ノンコヒーレント（nonCoherent）である場合、ＵＥは、シングルレイヤ送信に対して、０から３までのいずれかのＴＰＭＩを設定される。 In FIG. 1, when the precoder type (codebookSubset) is full andpartialAndNonCoherent, the UE is notified of any TPMI from 0 to 27 for single layer transmission. Further, when the precoder type is partialAndNonCoherent, the UE is set to any TPMI from 0 to 11 for single layer transmission. If the precoder type is nonCoherent, the UE is configured with any TPMI from 0 to 3 for single layer transmission.
　図１は、現状のＲｅｌ－１５　ＮＲにおいて規定されているテーブルである。このテーブルでは、インデックス１２から２７に該当する完全コヒーレントの送信電力を１（＝（１／２）２＊４）とおくと、インデックス４から１１に該当する部分コヒーレントの送信電力は１／２（＝（１／２）２＊２）であり、インデックス０から３に該当するノンコヒーレントの送信電力は１／４（＝（１／２）２＊１）である。 FIG. 1 is a table specified in the current Rel-15 NR. In this table, if the completely coherent transmission power corresponding to indexes 12 to 27 is set to 1 (= (1/2) 2 * 4), the transmission power of the partial coherent corresponding to indexes 4 to 11 is 1/2 ( = (1/2) 2 * 2), and the non-coherent transmission power corresponding to indexes 0 to 3 is 1/4 (= (1/2) 2 * 1).
　つまり、現状のＲｅｌ－１５　ＮＲの仕様によれば、ＵＥが複数のポートを用いてコードブックベース送信する場合に、一部のコードブックを利用すると、シングルポートの場合と比べて送信電力が小さくなる（フルパワー送信ができない）場合がある。 In other words, according to the current Rel-15 NR specifications, when the UE uses a plurality of ports for codebook-based transmission, if some codebooks are used, the transmission power is smaller than that for a single port. (Full power transmission is not possible).
（フルパワー送信のＵＥ能力）
　コードブックを用いる場合でも、フルパワーＵＬ送信を適切に行うことが好ましい。このため、ＮＲでは、複数のパワーアンプ（Power　Amplifier（ＰＡ））を用いたコードブックベースのフルパワーＵＬ送信に関連するＵＥ能力が検討されている。これまでのＮＲの議論では、以下のＵＥ能力１－３が提案されている：
・ＵＥ能力１：各送信チェイン（Tx　chain）において最大定格電力を出力可能なＰＡ（フルレイテッドＰＡ（full　rated　PA））をサポートする（又は有する）、
・ＵＥ能力２：送信チェインのいずれもフルレイテッドＰＡをサポートしない、
・ＵＥ能力３：送信チェインのサブセット（一部）がフルレイテッドＰＡをサポートする。 (UE capability for full power transmission)
Even when using a codebook, it is preferable to properly perform full power UL transmission. For this reason, NR is studying UE capabilities related to codebook-based full-power UL transmission using a plurality of power amplifiers (PAs). In the discussion of NR so far, the following UE capabilities 1-3 have been proposed:
-UE capability 1: Supports (or has) a PA (full rated PA) that can output the maximum rated power in each transmission chain (Tx chain).
-UE capability 2: None of the transmit chains support fully rated PA,
UE Capability 3: A subset of transmit chains support fully rated PA.
　なお、当該ＵＥ能力１－３の少なくとも１つを有するＵＥは、ＵＬ送信のフルパワーをサポートしていることを意味してもよい。 It should be noted that a UE having at least one of the UE capabilities 1-3 may mean that it supports the full power of UL transmission.
　当該ＵＥ能力１／２／３は、それぞれ、フルパワー送信に関するＵＥ能力１／２／３、フルパワー送信タイプ１／２／３、電力割り当てタイプ１／２／３などで読み替えられてもよい。ここで、タイプは、モード、能力などで読み替えられてもよい。また、１／２／３は、Ａ／Ｂ／Ｃなど任意の数字又は文字のセットで読み替えられてもよい。 The UE capacity 1/2/3 may be read as a UE capacity 1/2/3, a full power transmission type 1/2/3, a power allocation type 1/2/3, etc. for full power transmission, respectively. Here, the type may be read as a mode, an ability, and the like. Further, 1/2/3 may be read as an arbitrary number or character set such as A / B / C.
　図２は、フルパワー送信に関連するＵＥ能力１－３が想定するＵＥの構成の一例を示す図である。図２は、ＵＥの構成としてＰＡ及び送信アンテナポート（送信アンテナで読み替えられてもよい）のみを簡略的に示している。なお、ＰＡ及び送信アンテナポートの数がそれぞれ４である例を示すが、これに限られない。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a UE configuration assumed by UE capabilities 1-3 related to full power transmission. FIG. 2 briefly shows only the PA and the transmitting antenna port (which may be read as the transmitting antenna) as the configuration of the UE. An example in which the number of PAs and transmission antenna ports is 4 each is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this.
　なお、ＰはＵＥ最大出力電力［ｄＢｍ］を示し、ＰＰＡはＰＡ最大出力電力［ｄＢｍ］を示す。なお、Ｐは、例えばパワークラス３のＵＥでは２３ｄＢｍであってもよい。本開示ではＰＰＡ≦Ｐを想定するが、ＰＰＡ＞Ｐの場合に本開示の実施形態が適用されてもよい。 Note that P indicates the UE maximum output power [dBm], and P PA indicates the PA maximum output power [dBm]. Note that P may be 23 dBm in a UE of power class 3, for example. Although P PA ≤ P is assumed in the present disclosure, the embodiment of the present disclosure may be applied when P PA > P.
　ＵＥ能力１の構成は、実装が高コストになると想定されるが、１つ以上の任意のアンテナポートを用いてフルパワー送信が可能である。ＵＥ能力２の構成は、ノンフルレイテッドＰＡのみを含み、安価に実装できると期待されるが、アンテナポートを１つだけ用いてもフルパワー送信できないため、各ＰＡに入力される信号の位相、振幅などを制御することが求められる。 The configuration of UE capability 1 is expected to be expensive to implement, but full power transmission is possible using one or more arbitrary antenna ports. The configuration of UE capability 2 includes only non-full rated PA and is expected to be implemented at low cost. However, since full power transmission cannot be performed even if only one antenna port is used, the phase of the signal input to each PA, It is required to control the amplitude and the like.
　ＵＥ能力３の構成は、ＵＥ能力１の構成及びＵＥ能力２の構成の中間である。フルパワー送信可能なアンテナポート（本例では送信アンテナ＃０及び＃２）と可能でないアンテナポート（本例では送信アンテナ＃１及び＃３）が混在している。 The configuration of UE capability 3 is intermediate between the configuration of UE capability 1 and the configuration of UE capability 2. Antenna ports capable of full-power transmission (transmission antennas # 0 and # 2 in this example) and antenna ports not capable of full-power transmission (transmission antennas # 1 and # 3 in this example) are mixed.
　なお、ＵＥ能力３のフルパワー送信可能なアンテナポートのインデックス、数などは、これに限定されない。また、本例では、ノンフルレイテッドＰＡのＰＰＡ＝Ｐ／２と想定するが、ＰＰＡの値はこれに限られない。 The index, number, and the like of antenna ports capable of full power transmission of UE capability 3 are not limited to this. Further, in this example, it is assumed that P PA = P / 2 of the non-full rated PA , but the value of P PA is not limited to this.
　ところで、ＵＥがフルコヒーレントの能力を持たない場合、複数のアンテナの送信信号がずれることになる。このため、ＵＥがフルコヒーレントの能力を持たない場合であって、特にＵＥ能力２のケースにおいては、複数のアンテナの送信信号を時間的に調整しなければ、フルパワー送信できない。 By the way, if the UE does not have full coherent capability, the transmission signals of multiple antennas will shift. Therefore, when the UE does not have the full coherent capability, especially in the case of the UE capability 2, full power transmission cannot be performed unless the transmission signals of the plurality of antennas are adjusted in time.
　各アンテナの送信信号を調整する手法としては、巡回遅延ダイバーシティ（Cyclic　Delay　Diversity（ＣＤＤ））がある。ＣＤＤにおいては、ＵＥは、各アンテナｉ（ｉは整数）の送信信号ｓｉ（ｋ）を、それぞれτｉだけ遅延させて送信する。なお、τｉは、δｉ、τｉ ｃｙｃ、巡回遅延、巡回遅延量などと互いに読み替えられてもよい。 As a method of adjusting the transmission signal of each antenna, there is Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD). In the CDD, the UE transmits the transmission signal s i (k) of each antenna i (i is an integer) with a delay of τ i . Note that τ i may be read as δ i , τ i cyc , patrol delay, patrol delay amount, and the like.
　図３は、ＵＥ能力２の構成にＣＤＤを適用してフルパワー送信を行う一例を示す図である。ＵＥは、ベースバンド信号に対して、送信アンテナ＃０－＃３に対応するそれぞれの巡回遅延τｉを適用し、ＰＰＡ≦Ｐ（本例では、ＰＰＡ＝１７ｄＢｍ）のアンプを経由して各信号を送信する。このようにして、フルパワー送信を実現することが期待されている。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example in which CDD is applied to the configuration of UE capability 2 to perform full power transmission. UE, to the baseband signal, to apply the transmission antenna # 0 # each cyclic delay tau i corresponding to 3 (in this example, P PA = 17dBm) P PA ≦ P via the amplifier Send each signal. In this way, it is expected to realize full power transmission.
　しかしながら、図１で説明したように、例えばノンコヒーレントＵＥに対しては、ＴＰＭＩ＝０－３を用いて１つのアンテナポートを指定することしかできない。例えば、コードブック（プリコーディング行列）として、１／２［１　０　０　０］Ｔ（Ｔは転置行列を示す。以下同様）をＴＰＭＩによって指定された場合、ＵＥは１つのアンテナポートを用いたＰＵＳＣＨを送信する。 However, as described in FIG. 1, for example, for a non-coherent UE, only one antenna port can be specified using TPMI = 0-3. For example, if 1/2 [100 0] T (T indicates a transposed matrix; the same applies hereinafter) is specified by TPMI as a codebook (precoding matrix), the UE uses one antenna port for PUSCH. To send.
　このため、既存のＲｅｌ－１５　ＮＲに従うＵＥは、フルコヒーレントの能力を持たずＵＥ能力２の構成を有する場合には、ＣＤＤを適用したフルパワー送信を行うことができない。フルパワー送信できない場合、カバレッジの減少などが生じ、通信スループットの増大が抑制されるおそれがある。 Therefore, if the UE that complies with the existing Rel-15 NR does not have the full coherent capability and has the configuration of the UE capability 2, it cannot perform full power transmission to which the CDD is applied. If full power transmission is not possible, the coverage may decrease and the increase in communication throughput may be suppressed.
　そこで、本発明者らは、適切にフルパワー送信を行うための制御方法を着想した。本開示の一態様によれば、フルパワーでＵＬ　ＭＩＭＯ（Multi　Input　Multi　Output）送信を行うことができ、シングルアンテナと同様のセルカバレッジを維持できる。また、ＵＬ　ＭＩＭＯによれば空間ダイバーシティ利得が得られ、スループット向上が期待できる。さらに、フルレイテッドＰＡを持たないＵＥであっても、適切にフルパワー送信を行うことができる。 Therefore, the present inventors have conceived a control method for appropriately performing full power transmission. According to one aspect of the present disclosure, UL MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) transmission can be performed with full power, and cell coverage similar to that of a single antenna can be maintained. In addition, according to UL MIMO, spatial diversity gain can be obtained, and throughput improvement can be expected. Further, even a UE that does not have a fully rated PA can appropriately perform full power transmission.

（無線通信方法）
＜第１の実施形態＞
　第１の実施形態において、τｉは仕様によって規定される。言い換えると、ＵＥは、τｉを他のパラメータなどに基づいて、暗黙的に判断してもよい。 (Wireless communication method)
<First Embodiment>
In the first embodiment, tau i is defined by the specification. In other words, UE, based the tau i like other parameters may be implicitly determined.
　例えば、ＵＥ能力２を有するノンコヒーレントＵＥは、部分又は完全コヒーレントコードブックに対応するＴＰＭＩ（例えば、４アンテナポートのシングルレイヤ送信の場合であれば、ＴＰＭＩ＝４－２７のいずれか）を指示された場合には、フルパワー送信（例えば、フルパワーＰＵＳＣＨ送信）を行うために、各アンテナポートのτｉを他のパラメータに基づいて決定してもよい。 For example, a non-coherent UE with UE capability 2 is instructed to have a TPMI corresponding to a partially or fully coherent codebook (eg, TPMI = 4-27 for 4-antenna port single layer transmission). If the the full power transmission (e.g., full power PUSCH transmission) in order to perform, may be determined based on other parameters tau i for each antenna port.
　言い換えると、ＵＥは、設定されたコードブックサブセット（例えば、ノンコヒーレント）に該当しないコードブックがＴＰＭＩによって指定される場合、各アンテナポートに適用するτｉを仕様及び他のパラメータに基づいて決定して、ＰＵＳＣＨにＣＤＤを適用してフルパワー送信を行ってもよい。 In other words, the UE determines which τ i to apply to each antenna port based on specifications and other parameters when a codebook that does not fall under the configured codebook subset (eg, non-coherent) is specified by TPMI. Then, CDD may be applied to PUSCH to perform full power transmission.
　設定されたコードブックサブセットに該当しないコードブックの指定は、例えば、直接ＴＰＭＩの値によって指定されてもよいし、ＴＰＭＩの値の解釈を特定のＵＥ（例えば、ＵＥ能力２を有するノンコヒーレントＵＥ）については変更する（例えば、通知されたＴＰＭＩ＝０、１、２、３をそれぞれＴＰＭＩ＝１２、１４、２０、２２と解釈する）ことによって指定されてもよい。 The designation of a codebook that does not correspond to the set codebook subset may be specified, for example, directly by the value of TPMI, or the interpretation of the value of TPMI may be specified by a specific UE (for example, a non-coherent UE having UE capability 2). May be specified by changing (for example, the notified TPMI = 0, 1, 2, 3 are interpreted as TPMI = 12, 14, 20, 22 respectively).
　なお、本開示において、部分コヒーレントコードブックは、部分コヒーレントのコードブックサブセット（例えば、ＲＲＣパラメータ「codebookSubset」=「partialAndNonCoherent」）を設定されたＵＥが、コードブックベース送信のためにＤＣＩによって指定されるＴＰＭＩに対応するコードブック（プリコーディング行列）のうち、ノンコヒーレントのコードブックサブセット（例えば、ＲＲＣパラメータ「codebookSubset」=「nonCoherent」）を設定されたＵＥが指定されるＴＰＭＩに対応するコードブックを除いたもの（つまり、４アンテナポートのシングルレイヤ送信であれば、ＴＰＭＩ＝４から１１のコードブック）に該当してもよい。 In the present disclosure, in the partial coherent codebook, a UE in which a partial coherent codebook subset (for example, RRC parameter "codebookSubset" = "partialAndNonCoherent") is set is specified by DCI for codebook-based transmission. Of the codebooks (precoding matrices) corresponding to TPMI, except for the codebooks corresponding to TPMI in which a UE with a non-coherent codebook subset (for example, RRC parameter "codebookSubset" = "nonCoherent") is specified. (That is, in the case of single-layer transmission of 4 antenna ports, the codebook of TPMI = 4 to 11) may be applicable.
　なお、本開示において、完全コヒーレントコードブックは、完全コヒーレントのコードブックサブセット（例えば、ＲＲＣパラメータ「codebookSubset」=「fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent」）を設定されたＵＥが、コードブックベース送信のためにＤＣＩによって指定されるＴＰＭＩに対応するコードブック（プリコーディング行列）のうち、部分コヒーレントのコードブックサブセット（例えば、ＲＲＣパラメータ「codebookSubset」=「partialAndNonCoherent」）を設定されたＵＥが指定されるＴＰＭＩに対応するコードブックを除いたもの（つまり、４アンテナポートのシングルレイヤ送信であれば、ＴＰＭＩ＝１２から２７のコードブック）に該当してもよい。 In the present disclosure, the fully coherent codebook is a UE in which a fully coherent codebook subset (for example, RRC parameter "codebookSubset" = "fullyAndPartialAndNonCoherent") is set, and is designated by DCI for codebook-based transmission. Of the codebooks (precoding matrices) corresponding to TPMI, except for the codebooks corresponding to TPMI in which a UE with a partially coherent codebook subset (for example, RRC parameter "codebookSubset" = "partialAndNonCoherent") is specified. (That is, in the case of single-layer transmission of 4 antenna ports, the codebook of TPMI = 12 to 27) may be applicable.
［τｉをＰＵＳＣＨ送信のためのアンテナポート数に基づいて決定］
　当該他のパラメータは、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信のためのアンテナポート数を含んでもよい。 [Tau i determined based on the number of antenna ports for PUSCH transmission and]
The other parameter may include the number of antenna ports for PUSCH transmission.
　当該ＰＵＳＣＨ送信のためのアンテナポート数は、例えば、上位レイヤシグナリング（例えば、ＲＲＣシグナリング）、物理レイヤシグナリング（例えば、ＤＣＩ）又はこれらの組み合わせを用いて、ＵＥに通知されてもよい。当該ＰＵＳＣＨ送信のためのアンテナポート数は、ＤＣＩフォーマット０＿１のアンテナポートフィールドによって指定されてもよい。当該アンテナポート数は最大４であってもよいし、４より大きい値が用いられてもよい。 The number of antenna ports for the PUSCH transmission may be notified to the UE using, for example, upper layer signaling (eg, RRC signaling), physical layer signaling (eg, DCI), or a combination thereof. The number of antenna ports for the PUSCH transmission may be specified by the antenna port field of DCI format 0-1. The maximum number of antenna ports may be 4, or a value larger than 4 may be used.
　図４は、ＵＥ能力２のための巡回遅延の一例を示す図である。本例において、アンテナポート数が２の場合、｛τ０、τ１｝＝サイクリックプレフィックス（Cyclic　Prefix（ＣＰ））長＊｛１／４、１／２｝であり、アンテナポート数が４の場合、｛τ０、τ１、τ２、τ３｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／８、１／４、３／８、１／２｝であり、アンテナポート数が８の場合、｛τ０、τ１、τ２、τ３、τ４、τ５、τ６、τ７｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／３２、１／１６、３／３２、１／８、５／３２、３／１６、７／３２、１／４｝である。 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a patrol delay for the UE capability 2. In this example, when the number of antenna ports is 2, {τ 0 , τ 1 } = cyclic prefix (CP) length * {1/4, 1/2}, and the number of antenna ports is 4. In the case, {τ 0 , τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 } = CP length * {1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2}, and when the number of antenna ports is 8, {τ 0 , Τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 , τ 4 , τ 5 , τ 6 , τ 7 } = CP length * {1/32, 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16 , 7/32, 1/4}.
　ＵＥは、図４に示すような、アンテナポート数と各アンテナポートに適用する巡回遅延との対応関係に基づいて、各アンテナポートｉに適用する巡回遅延τｉを導出してもよい。当該導出は、図４に対応するテーブルを参照して行われてもよいし、図４の対応関係を満たすような関数などを用いて行われてもよい。本開示の巡回遅延は、所定の関連付け（図４、後述の図面の対応関係など）に基づいて任意の手法で導出、決定、選択などされてもよい。 The UE, as shown in FIG. 4, based on the correspondence between the cyclic delay to be applied to the antenna ports and the antenna port may be derived cyclic delay tau i to be applied to each antenna port i. The derivation may be performed with reference to the table corresponding to FIG. 4, or may be performed using a function or the like that satisfies the correspondence relationship of FIG. The patrol delay of the present disclosure may be derived, determined, selected, or the like by an arbitrary method based on a predetermined association (FIG. 4, correspondence relationship of drawings described later, etc.).
　なお、各τｉの値は一例であって、これらに限られない。例えば、τｉの値の少なくとも１つが０であってもよい。また、τｉの値はＣＰ長に依存しなくてもよい。τｉの値は、秒、ミリ秒、マイクロ秒、シンボルなど、任意の単位で表現されてもよい。τｉは、ｅｊθの形式と互いに読み替えられてもよい。本開示における他の対応関係の例でも同様である。 The value of each tau i is an example, but not limited to. For example, at least one of the values of τ i may be 0. Further, the value of τ i does not have to depend on the CP length. The value of τ i may be expressed in any unit such as seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, symbols, and the like. τ i may be read interchangeably with the form e j θ. The same applies to the examples of other correspondence relationships in the present disclosure.
　あるアンテナポート数について、全てのτｉの値は同じであってもよい。図５は、ＵＥ能力２のための巡回遅延の一例を示す図である。本例において、アンテナポート数が２の場合、各τｉはＣＰ長＊１／４であり、アンテナポート数が４の場合、各τｉはＣＰ長＊１／８であり、アンテナポート数が８の場合、各τｉはＣＰ長＊１／３２である。本開示における他の対応関係の例でも同様である。 For certain number of antenna ports, the value of all tau i may be the same. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a patrol delay for the UE capability 2. In this example, when the number of antenna ports is 2, each τ i has a CP length * 1/4, and when the number of antenna ports is 4, each τ i has a CP length * 1/8, and the number of antenna ports is In the case of 8, each τ i has a CP length * 1/32. The same applies to the examples of other correspondence relationships in the present disclosure.
　ＵＥは、報告した（又は設定された）コヒーレントに関する能力に関わらず、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信のためのアンテナポート数に対応する、部分又は完全コヒーレント用のプリコーディング行列を想定して（用いて）フルパワー送信を行ってもよい。例えば、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信のためのアンテナポート数として２を通知された当該ＵＥは、ＣＤＤを適用した送信のためのアンテナポートを１／２［０　１　０　１］Ｔに基づいて決定してもよい。 The UE assumes (using) a precoding matrix for partial or full coherence that corresponds to the number of antenna ports for PUSCH transmission, regardless of the reported (or configured) coherent capability. May be done. For example, the UE notified of 2 as the number of antenna ports for PUSCH transmission may determine the antenna port for transmission to which CDD is applied based on 1/2 [0 1 0 1] T.
　なお、図４及び５のような対応関係は、サブキャリア間隔ごとに独立に規定されてもよい。本開示における他の対応関係の例でも同様である。 Note that the correspondence as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 may be defined independently for each subcarrier interval. The same applies to the examples of other correspondence relationships in the present disclosure.
［τｉをＣＰ長に基づいて決定］
　上述のτｉを決定するための他のパラメータは、ＣＰ長を含んでもよい。ＵＥは、少なくとも１つのアンテナポートｉについて、より長いＣＰ長の送信に対してはより大きい巡回遅延τｉを適用すると想定してもよい。 [Determined on the basis of the τ i to CP length]
Other parameters for determining τ i described above may include CP length. The UE may assume that for at least one antenna port i, a larger cyclic delay τ i is applied for transmissions with longer CP lengths.
　ＣＰ長は、例えば、上位レイヤシグナリング（例えば、ＲＲＣシグナリング）、物理レイヤシグナリング（例えば、ＤＣＩ）又はこれらの組み合わせを用いて、ＵＥに通知されてもよい。例えば、所定のＢＷＰについてのＣＰ長（拡張ＣＰか否か）が、ＲＲＣ情報要素「BWP」に含まれるパラメータ「cyclicPrefix」によってＵＥに設定されてもよい。 The CP length may be notified to the UE using, for example, upper layer signaling (eg, RRC signaling), physical layer signaling (eg, DCI), or a combination thereof. For example, the CP length (whether or not it is an extended CP) for a predetermined BWP may be set in the UE by the parameter "cyclicPrefix" included in the RRC information element "BWP".
　図６Ａ及び６Ｂは、ＵＥ能力２のための巡回遅延の一例を示す図である。図６Ａは、アンテナポート数が２のケースにおけるＣＰ長と巡回遅延との対応関係を示す。図示されるように、通常ＣＰ（normal　CP）を用いた送信については、｛τ０、τ１｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／３２、１／２｝であり、拡張ＣＰ（extended　CP）を用いた送信については、｛τ０、τ１｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／４、１／２｝である。拡張ＣＰを用いた送信のτ０が、通常ＣＰを用いた送信のτ０より大きい値となっている。 6A and 6B are diagrams showing an example of a patrol delay for UE capability 2. FIG. 6A shows the correspondence between the CP length and the patrol delay in the case where the number of antenna ports is 2. As shown in the figure, for transmission using normal CP (normal CP), {τ 0 , τ 1 } = CP length * {1/32, 1/2}, and extended CP (extended CP) is used. For the transmitted transmission, {τ 0 , τ 1 } = CP length * {1/4, 1/2}. The value of τ 0 of the transmission using the extended CP is larger than the value of τ 0 of the transmission using the normal CP.
　図６Ｂは、アンテナポート数が４のケースにおけるＣＰ長と巡回遅延との対応関係を示す。図示されるように、通常ＣＰを用いた送信については、｛τ０、τ１、τ２、τ３｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／３２、１／１６、３／３２、１／８｝であり、拡張ＣＰを用いた送信については、｛τ０、τ１、τ２、τ３｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／８、１／４、３／８、１／２｝である。拡張ＣＰを用いた送信の各τｉが、通常ＣＰを用いた送信の対応するτｉより大きい値となっている。 FIG. 6B shows the correspondence between the CP length and the patrol delay in the case where the number of antenna ports is 4. As shown, for transmission using normal CP, {τ 0 , τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 } = CP length * {1/32, 1/16, 3/32, 1/8} Yes, for transmission using the extended CP, {τ 0 , τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 } = CP length * {1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2}. Each τ i of the transmission using the extended CP is a value larger than the corresponding τ i of the transmission using the normal CP.
［τｉをコードブックサブセット（又はコヒーレントの能力）に基づいて決定］
　部分コヒーレントＵＥは、上述した他のパラメータと巡回遅延との対応関係として、ノンコヒーレントＵＥが利用する当該対応関係とは異なる対応関係に基づいて、各アンテナポートのτｉを決定してもよい。 [Determined based on tau i to codebook subset (or coherent ability)
Partially coherent UE as correspondence between the cyclic delay and other parameters described above, based on different correspondence with the correspondence relationship noncoherent UE utilizes may determine the tau i for each antenna port.
　図７Ａ及び７Ｂは、ＵＥ能力２のための巡回遅延の一例を示す図である。図７Ａは、図４の一部に対応しているため、説明を繰り返さない。例えば、ノンコヒーレントＵＥは図７Ａの対応関係に基づいてτｉを決定してもよい。 7A and 7B are diagrams showing an example of a patrol delay for UE capability 2. Since FIG. 7A corresponds to a part of FIG. 4, the description will not be repeated. For example, non-coherent UE may determine the tau i based on the correspondence relation of FIG. 7A.
　部分コヒーレントＵＥは、図７Ｂの対応関係に基づいてτｉを決定してもよい。ここで、アンテナポート数が２の場合の巡回遅延の値が規定されていないのは、コヒーレントな関係を有する２つのアンテナポートを用いてフルパワー送信を行うようにすれば、ＣＤＤを適用する必要はないためである。もちろん、ノンコヒーレントな関係を有する２つのアンテナポートを用いてフルパワー送信を行うために、アンテナポート数が２の場合のτｉが規定されてもよい。 Partially coherent UE may determine the tau i based on the correspondence relation of FIG. 7B. Here, the value of the patrol delay when the number of antenna ports is 2 is not specified because it is necessary to apply CDD if full power transmission is performed using two antenna ports having a coherent relationship. Because there is no. Of course, in order to perform full power transmission using two antenna ports having a non-coherent relationship, τ i when the number of antenna ports is 2 may be specified.
　図７Ｂのアンテナポート数が４の場合は、｛τ０、τ１｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／４、１／２｝と記載されているが、この対応関係においては、アンテナポートをアンテナポートグループで読み替えて適用してもよい。 When the number of antenna ports in FIG. 7B is 4, it is described as {τ 0 , τ 1 } = CP length * {1/4, 1/2}, but in this correspondence, the antenna port is used as the antenna port. It may be read and applied as a group.
　例えば、コヒーレントな関係を有するアンテナポート１及び２がアンテナポートグループ１を構成し、コヒーレントな関係を有するアンテナポート３及び４がアンテナポートグループ２を構成すると想定する。ここで、アンテナポートグループ１のアンテナポートと、アンテナポートグループ２のアンテナポートと、はノンコヒーレントな関係を有する。この場合、図７Ｂのアンテナポート数が４のケースは、｛τ０、τ１、τ２、τ３｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／４、１／４、１／２、１／２｝を意味してもよい。ＵＥは、例えば１／２［１　１　１　１］Ｔのプリコーディング行列について、これらのτｉに基づいてＣＤＤを適用してもよい。 For example, it is assumed that the antenna ports 1 and 2 having a coherent relationship constitute an antenna port group 1, and the antenna ports 3 and 4 having a coherent relationship form an antenna port group 2. Here, the antenna port of the antenna port group 1 and the antenna port of the antenna port group 2 have a non-coherent relationship. In this case, in the case where the number of antenna ports in FIG. 7B is 4, {τ 0 , τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 } = CP length * {1/4, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2} It may mean. The UE may apply the CDD based on these τ i , for example, to the precoding matrix of 1/2 [1 1 1 1] T.
　このように、コヒーレントな関係を有する複数のアンテナポートのτｉの値は、同じであってもよい。本開示における他の対応関係の例でも同様である。 Thus, the value of tau i of the plurality of antenna ports having a coherent relationship may be the same. The same applies to the examples of other correspondences in the present disclosure.
　以上説明した第１の実施形態によれば、ＣＤＤに関するシグナリングオーバヘッドを増大させずに、フルパワー送信を適切に実施できる。 According to the first embodiment described above, full power transmission can be appropriately performed without increasing the signaling overhead related to CDD.
＜第２の実施形態＞
　第２の実施形態において、τｉは上位レイヤシグナリング（例えば、ＲＲＣシグナリング）によってＵＥに設定される。言い換えると、ＵＥは、τｉを、巡回遅延に関するパラメータに基づいて、明示的に判断してもよい。 <Second embodiment>
In the second embodiment, tau i is higher layer signaling (for example, RRC signaling) is set to the UE by. In other words, UE is the tau i, based on parameters related to cyclic delay may be explicitly determined.
　例えば、ＵＥ能力２を有するノンコヒーレントＵＥは、部分又は完全コヒーレントコードブックに対応するＴＰＭＩ（例えば、シングルレイヤの場合であれば、ＴＰＭＩ＝４－２７のいずれか）を指示された場合には、フルパワー送信（例えば、フルパワーＰＵＳＣＨ送信）を行うために、各アンテナポートのτｉを設定された巡回遅延に関するパラメータに基づいて決定してもよい。 For example, a non-coherent UE with UE capability 2 may be instructed to have a TPMI (eg, TPMI = 4-27 in the case of a single layer) corresponding to a partially or fully coherent codebook. full power transmission (e.g., full power PUSCH transmission) in order to perform, may be determined based on parameters related to the cyclic delay is set to tau i for each antenna port.
　言い換えると、ＵＥは、設定されたコードブックサブセット（例えば、ノンコヒーレント）に該当しないコードブックがＴＰＭＩによって指定される場合、各アンテナポートに適用するτｉを上位レイヤパラメータに基づいて決定して、ＰＵＳＣＨにＣＤＤを適用してフルパワー送信を行ってもよい。 In other words, the UE determines which τ i to apply to each antenna port based on the upper layer parameters when a codebook that does not fall under the configured codebook subset (eg, non-coherent) is specified by TPMI. CDD may be applied to PUSCH to perform full power transmission.
［異なるアンテナポート数で共通の１つの巡回遅延セットをＲＲＣシグナリングで設定］
　ＵＥは、巡回遅延に関するパラメータとして、複数のアンテナポートの巡回遅延の値のセットを、上位レイヤシグナリングを用いて設定されてもよい。複数のアンテナポートの巡回遅延の値のセットは、巡回遅延セットなどと呼ばれてもよい。 [Set one common patrol delay set with different number of antenna ports by RRC signaling]
The UE may set a set of patrol delay values for a plurality of antenna ports as parameters relating to the patrol delay using higher layer signaling. A set of cyclic delay values for a plurality of antenna ports may be referred to as a cyclic delay set or the like.
　図８は、上位レイヤシグナリングで設定される巡回遅延セットの一例を示す図である。本例には、当該セットの一例として、｛τ０、τ１、τ２、τ３｝＝｛０、０、０、０｝、ＣＰ長＊｛１／８、１／４、３／８、１／２｝、ＣＰ長＊｛１／１６、１／８、３／１６、１／４｝、ＣＰ長＊｛１／３２、１／１６、３／３２、１／８｝が示されている。なお、値はあくまで一例であって、これらに限られない。 FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a patrol delay set set by higher layer signaling. In this example, as an example of the set, {τ 0 , τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 } = {0, 0, 0, 0}, CP length * {1/8, 1/4, 3/8 , 1/2}, CP length * {1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4}, CP length * {1/32, 1/16, 3/32, 1/8} ing. The values are merely examples and are not limited to these.
　まず、ＵＥは、当該セットの１つを設定されてもよい。例えば、｛τ０、τ１、τ２、τ３｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／１６、１／８、３／１６、１／４｝が設定されたと想定して以下説明を続ける。 First, the UE may be configured with one of the sets. For example, assuming that {τ 0 , τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 } = CP length * {1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4} is set, the following description will be continued.
　その後、ＵＥは、ＤＣＩ（例えば、ＤＣＩフォーマット０＿１）によって、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信をスケジュールされる。ＵＥは、当該ＤＣＩのアンテナポートフィールドに基づいて、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信のためのアンテナポート数を取得してもよい。 After that, the UE is scheduled for PUSCH transmission by DCI (for example, DCI format 0_1). The UE may acquire the number of antenna ports for PUSCH transmission based on the antenna port field of the DCI.
　ＵＥは、設定された上記巡回遅延セットのうち、当該アンテナポート数を考慮して各τｉを導出する。例えば、ＰＵＳＣＨアンテナポート数＝２と指定された場合、ＵＥは｛τ０、τ１｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／１６、１／８｝と想定してもよい。また、ＰＵＳＣＨアンテナポート数＝４と指定された場合、ＵＥは｛τ１、τ２、τ３、τ４｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／１６、１／８、３／１６、１／４｝と想定してもよい。 The UE among the cyclic delay set configured to derive the respective tau i in consideration of the number of the antenna ports. For example, when the number of PUSCH antenna ports is specified as 2, the UE may be assumed to be {τ 0 , τ 1 } = CP length * {1/16, 1/8}. If the number of PUSCH antenna ports is specified as 4, the UE has {τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 , τ 4 } = CP length * {1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4}. You may assume that.
　ＵＥは、指定された数のアンテナポートに対して、上記のτｉを用いてＣＤＤを適用してもよい。したがって、ここで説明した巡回遅延セットは、アンテナポート数に関わらず（異なるアンテナポート数であっても）共通で参照される１つの巡回遅延セットに該当する。 The UE may apply the CDD to the specified number of antenna ports using the above τ i . Therefore, the cyclic delay set described here corresponds to one cyclic delay set that is commonly referred to regardless of the number of antenna ports (even if the number of antenna ports is different).
［異なるアンテナポート数で共通の複数の巡回遅延セットをＲＲＣシグナリングで設定］
　ＵＥは、上述した巡回遅延セットを複数個設定されてもよい。ＵＥは、複数個設定された巡回遅延セットのうち１つを、所定のＤＣＩ（例えば、ＤＣＩフォーマット０＿１）の特定のフィールドに基づいて決定し、当該決定した１つの巡回遅延セットに基づいて、適用するτｉを、巡回遅延に関するパラメータに基づいて、明示的に判断してもよい。 [Set multiple common patrol delay sets with different number of antenna ports by RRC signaling]
The UE may set a plurality of the above-mentioned patrol delay sets. The UE determines one of a plurality of set cyclic delay sets based on a specific field of a predetermined DCI (for example, DCI format 0_1), and applies based on the determined one cyclic delay set. The τ i to be used may be explicitly determined based on the parameters related to the patrol delay.
　巡回遅延セットの設定は、巡回遅延セットを特定するためのインデックス（又はＩＤ）を含んでもよい。 The patrol delay set setting may include an index (or ID) for identifying the patrol delay set.
　当該特定のフィールドは、巡回遅延フィールドと呼ばれてもよい。巡回遅延フィールドは、巡回遅延セットインデックスを指定するための新しいフィールドであってもよいし、他のフィールド（例えば、プリコーディング情報及びレイヤ数フィールド）であってもよい。当該他のフィールドの値によって、巡回遅延セットインデックスが特定されてもよい。 The specific field may be called a patrol delay field. The cyclic delay field may be a new field for specifying the cyclic delay set index, or it may be another field (eg, precoding information and number of layers field). The value of the other field may identify the cyclic delay set index.
　図９は、上位レイヤシグナリングで設定される巡回遅延セットの一例を示す図である。ＵＥは、これらの巡回遅延セット全てを設定されてもよい。各巡回遅延セットに対する巡回遅延フィールドの値が示されている。本例では当該フィールドは２ビットであるが、これに限られない。 FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a patrol delay set set by higher layer signaling. The UE may be configured with all of these patrol delay sets. The value of the cycle delay field for each cycle delay set is shown. In this example, the field is 2 bits, but the field is not limited to this.
　ＵＥは、例えば巡回遅延フィールドの値＝“１０”を含むＤＣＩを受信すると、｛τ０、τ１、τ２、τ３｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／１６、１／８、３／１６、１／４｝が指定されたと想定してもよい。 When the UE receives a DCI containing, for example, the value of the patrol delay field = "10", the UE receives {τ 0 , τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 } = CP length * {1/16, 1/8, 3/16, It may be assumed that 1/4} is specified.
　ＵＥは、当該ＤＣＩによって、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信をスケジュールされる。ＵＥは、当該ＤＣＩのアンテナポートフィールドに基づいて、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信のためのアンテナポート数を取得してもよい。 The UE is scheduled to transmit PUSCH by the DCI. The UE may acquire the number of antenna ports for PUSCH transmission based on the antenna port field of the DCI.
　ＵＥは、設定された上記巡回遅延セットのうち、当該アンテナポート数を考慮して各τｉを導出する。例えば、ＰＵＳＣＨアンテナポート数＝２と指定された場合、ＵＥは｛τ０、τ１｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／１６、１／８｝と想定してもよい。また、ＰＵＳＣＨアンテナポート数＝４と指定された場合、ＵＥは｛τ１、τ２、τ３、τ４｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／１６、１／８、３／１６、１／４｝と想定してもよい。 The UE among the cyclic delay set configured to derive the respective tau i in consideration of the number of the antenna ports. For example, when the number of PUSCH antenna ports is specified as 2, the UE may be assumed to be {τ 0 , τ 1 } = CP length * {1/16, 1/8}. If the number of PUSCH antenna ports is specified as 4, the UE has {τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 , τ 4 } = CP length * {1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4}. You may assume that.
　ＵＥは、指定された数のアンテナポートに対して、上記のτｉを用いてＣＤＤを適用してもよい。 The UE may apply the CDD to the specified number of antenna ports using the above τ i .
［アンテナポート数ごとに異なる複数の巡回遅延セットをＲＲＣシグナリングで設定］
　なお、図９ではアンテナポート数に関わらない（共通の）セットが設定される例を示したが、これに限られない。例えば、アンテナポート数ごとに、１つ又は複数の巡回遅延セットが独立して設定されてもよい。 [Set multiple patrol delay sets that differ depending on the number of antenna ports by RRC signaling]
Note that FIG. 9 shows an example in which a (common) set is set regardless of the number of antenna ports, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one or more patrol delay sets may be set independently for each number of antenna ports.
　図１０は、上位レイヤシグナリングで設定される巡回遅延セットの一例を示す図である。本例には、当該セットの一例として、アンテナポート数＝２に対応する（τ１、τ２）＝｛０、０｝、｛ＣＰ長＊（１／４、１／２）｝、｛ＣＰ長＊（１／８、１／４）｝、｛ＣＰ長＊（１／１６、１／８）｝が示され、またアンテナポート数＝４に対応する（τ１、τ２、τ３、τ４）＝｛０、０、０、０｝、｛ＣＰ長＊（１／８、１／４、３／８、１／２）｝、｛ＣＰ長＊（１／１６、１／８、３／１６、１／４）｝、｛ＣＰ長＊（１／３２、１／１６、３／３２、１／８）｝が示されている。 FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a patrol delay set set by higher layer signaling. In this example, as an example of the set, (τ 1 , τ 2 ) = {0, 0}, {CP length * (1/4, 1/2)}, {CP corresponding to the number of antenna ports = 2. Length * (1/8, 1/4)}, {CP length * (1/16, 1/8)} are shown, and corresponds to the number of antenna ports = 4 (τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 , τ 4 ) = {0, 0, 0, 0}, {CP length * (1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2)}, {CP length * (1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4)} and {CP length * (1/32, 1/16, 3/32, 1/8)} are shown.
　ＵＥは、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信をスケジュールするＤＣＩに含まれるアンテナポートフィールドに基づいて、ＰＵＳＣＨ送信のためのアンテナポート数を取得してもよい。ＵＥは、当該アンテナポート数に対応する１又は複数の巡回遅延セットに関して、上記ＤＣＩに含まれる巡回遅延フィールドの値に基づいて、１つの巡回遅延セットを決定してもよい。 The UE may acquire the number of antenna ports for PUSCH transmission based on the antenna port field included in the DCI that schedules PUSCH transmission. The UE may determine one circuit delay set based on the value of the circuit delay field included in the DCI for one or more circuit delay sets corresponding to the number of antenna ports.
　ＵＥは、指定された数のアンテナポートに対して、決定した巡回遅延セットの各τｉを用いてＣＤＤを適用してもよい。 The UE may apply the CDD to a specified number of antenna ports using each τ i of the determined cyclic delay set.
［巡回遅延のアンテナポートのシフト］
　これまでの説明では、設定された巡回遅延セットに対応するアンテナポートの順番はアンテナポート０から昇順に固定されていたが、この順番は、任意に指定可能であってもよい。 [Antenna port shift of patrol delay]
In the above description, the order of the antenna ports corresponding to the set patrol delay set is fixed in ascending order from the antenna port 0, but this order may be arbitrarily specified.
　例えば、ＰＵＳＣＨをスケジュールするＤＣＩは、巡回遅延のアンテナポートのシフトに関する特定のフィールドを含んでもよい。当該フィールドは、巡回遅延シフトフィールドなどと呼ばれてもよく、新しいフィールドであってもよいし、既存のフィールドに該当ドしてもよい。 For example, the DCI that schedules the PUSCH may include a specific field for the shift of the patrol delay antenna port. The field may be called a patrol delay shift field or the like, may be a new field, or may correspond to an existing field.
　巡回遅延シフトフィールドの値は、巡回遅延セットの開始インデックスを指定するために用いられてもよい。図１１は、巡回遅延シフトフィールドによる巡回遅延のシフトの一例を示す図である。巡回遅延セットの内容は図８と同じため、説明は繰り返さない。 The value of the cyclic delay shift field may be used to specify the starting index of the cyclic delay set. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a shift of the cycle delay by the cycle delay shift field. Since the contents of the patrol delay set are the same as those in FIG. 8, the description will not be repeated.
　例えば、ＵＥが、｛τ０、τ１、τ２、τ３｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛１／３２、１／１６、３／３２、１／８｝を上位レイヤシグナリングによって設定されたと想定する。 For example, assume that the UE has {τ 0 , τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 } = CP length * {1/32, 1/16, 3/32, 1/8} set by higher layer signaling.
　この場合、ＵＥは、ＤＣＩに含まれる巡回遅延シフトフィールドに基づいて、各アンテナポートのための巡回遅延をずらすことができる。例えば、巡回遅延シフトフィールド＝“００”の場合、ＵＥは、アンテナポート＃０－＃３の送信信号に対してはそれぞれ図中の｛τ０、τ１、τ２、τ３｝を適用する。 In this case, the UE can stagger the patrol delay for each antenna port based on the patrol delay shift field contained in the DCI. For example, when the cyclic delay shift field = “00”, the UE applies {τ 0 , τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 } in the figure to the transmission signals of antenna ports # 0- # 3, respectively. ..
　巡回遅延シフトフィールド＝“１０”の場合、ＵＥは、アンテナポート＃０－＃３の送信信号に対してはそれぞれ図中の｛τ２、τ３、τ０、τ１｝を適用する。つまり、実際に適用される｛τ０、τ１、τ２、τ３｝＝ＣＰ長＊｛３／３２、１／８、１／３２、１／１６｝となる。 When the circuit delay shift field = “10”, the UE applies {τ 2 , τ 3 , τ 0 , τ 1 } in the figure to the transmission signals of antenna ports # 0 to # 3, respectively. That is, {τ 0 , τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 } = CP length * {3/32, 1/8, 1/32, 1/16} that is actually applied.
　このように、巡回遅延シフトフィールドの値がｘである場合、アンテナポート＃ｋに対してτｋ＋ｘを適用するように変更でき、柔軟な制御が可能となる。 In this way, when the value of the cyclic delay shift field is x, it can be changed to apply τ k + x to the antenna port # k , and flexible control becomes possible.
　なお、巡回遅延シフトフィールドは、開始インデックスを指定するのではなく、巡回遅延インデックスの任意の順番のパターンを指定するために用いられてもよい。 Note that the cyclic delay shift field may be used to specify a pattern in any order of the cyclic delay index, instead of specifying the start index.
［ＣＤＤを適用しないでフルパワー送信］
　なお、ＵＥは、ＰＵＳＣＨアンテナポート数に対応する全てのτｉが０に等しい場合、ＣＤＤを適用しないで（without　CDD）フルパワー送信を行ってもよい。そうでない場合、ＵＥは、ＣＤＤを適用してフルパワー送信を行うための巡回遅延がＲＲＣで設定又はＤＣＩによって指定されると想定してもよい。 [Full power transmission without applying CDD]
Note that the UE may perform full power transmission without applying CDD (without CDD) when all τ i corresponding to the number of PUSCH antenna ports are equal to 0. Otherwise, the UE may assume that the patrol delay for applying the CDD to perform full power transmission is set in the RRC or specified by the DCI.
　ＵＥは、上位レイヤシグナリングによって、巡回遅延セットの各巡回遅延の値が全て０に設定されると想定してもよい。 The UE may assume that the value of each patrol delay in the patrol delay set is set to 0 by the upper layer signaling.
　また、ＵＥは、ＵＥ能力２の構成においてＣＤＤを適用しないで（without　CDD）フルパワー送信を行えることを示す能力情報を、基地局に報告してもよい。当該能力情報を報告したＵＥは、ＵＥ能力２の構成においてＣＤＤを適用しないでフルパワー送信を行ってもよい。 Further, the UE may report to the base station the capability information indicating that full power transmission can be performed without applying the CDD in the configuration of the UE capability 2. The UE that reports the capability information may perform full power transmission without applying the CDD in the configuration of the UE capability 2.
　なお、ＣＤＤを適用しないフルパワー送信の制御、当該能力情報などについては、第１の実施形態でも利用されてもよい。 Note that the control of full power transmission to which CDD is not applied, the capability information, and the like may also be used in the first embodiment.
　以上説明した第２の実施形態によれば、ＣＤＤに関するシグナリングオーバヘッドを増大させずに、フルパワー送信を適切に実施できる。 According to the second embodiment described above, full power transmission can be appropriately performed without increasing the signaling overhead related to CDD.
＜その他＞
　上述の各実施形態では、アンテナポートを用いたＵＬ送信は、ＰＵＳＣＨを想定して説明したが、ＰＵＳＣＨに加えて又はＰＵＳＣＨの代わりに、他の信号及びチャネルの少なくとも１つのフルパワー送信が制御されてもよい。 <Others>
In each of the above embodiments, UL transmission using the antenna port has been described assuming PUSCH, but at least one full power transmission of other signals and channels is controlled in addition to or in place of PUSCH. You may.
　つまり、上述の各実施形態におけるアンテナポートは、ＰＵＳＣＨ（及びＰＵＳＣＨ用の復調用参照信号（DeModulation　Reference　Signal（ＤＭＲＳ））、位相トラッキング参照信号（Phase　Tracking　Reference　Signal（ＰＴＲＳ）））、上り制御チャネル（Physical　Uplink　Control　Channel（ＰＵＣＣＨ））、ランダムアクセスチャネル（Physical　Random　Access　Channel（ＰＲＡＣＨ））、ＳＲＳなどの少なくとも１つのアンテナポートであってもよい。 That is, the antenna port in each of the above-described embodiments is a PUSCH (and a demodulation reference signal (DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS)) for the PUSCH, a phase tracking reference signal (Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS))), and an uplink control channel ( It may be at least one antenna port such as Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)), Random Access Channel (Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH)), SRS, and the like.
　上述の各実施形態は、所定の条件に基づいて使い分けられてもよい。例えば、ＵＥが巡回遅延セットを上位レイヤシグナリングによって設定される前（初期アクセス時、ランダムアクセス手順時など）においては、ＵＥは第１の実施形態に基づいてＣＤＤを用いたフルパワー送信を制御してもよい。また、ＵＥは、例えば特定のリソース（周波数リソース、時間リソースなど）を用いたＵＬ送信については、常に第１の実施形態又は第２の実施形態を固定的に想定してもよい。 Each of the above-described embodiments may be used properly based on predetermined conditions. For example, before the UE sets the patrol delay set by higher layer signaling (initial access, random access procedure, etc.), the UE controls full power transmission using the CDD based on the first embodiment. You may. Further, the UE may always fixedly assume the first embodiment or the second embodiment for UL transmission using a specific resource (frequency resource, time resource, etc.).
　上述の各実施形態が適用されるＵＥは、ＵＥ能力２を有し（又は報告し）、かつ設定されたコードブックサブセット（ＲＲＣパラメータ「codebookSubset」）に該当するＴＰＭＩ（例えば、codebookSubset＝nonCoherentであってシングルレイヤの場合であれば、ＴＰＭＩ＝０－３）の範囲外のＴＰＭＩ（上記の場合、ＴＰＭＩ＞３）をＤＣＩによって指定されるＵＥで読み替えられてもよい。 The UE to which each of the above embodiments is applied is a TPMI (eg, codebookSubset = nonCoherent) that has (or reports) UE capability 2 and corresponds to a set codebook subset (RRC parameter "codebookSubset"). In the case of a single layer, the TPMI outside the range of TPMI = 0-3) (TPMI> 3 in the above case) may be read by the UE specified by DCI.
　上述の各実施形態が適用されるＵＥは、ＵＥ能力２を有し（又は報告し）、かつ設定されたコードブックサブセット（ＲＲＣパラメータ「codebookSubset」）に該当するＴＰＭＩ（例えば、codebookSubset＝nonCoherentであってシングルレイヤの場合であれば、ＴＰＭＩ＝０－３）に対応するプリコーディング行列のアンテナポート数（上記の場合、１）を超えるアンテナポート数のプリコーディングを示すＴＰＭＩ（上記の場合、ＴＰＭＩ＞３）をＤＣＩによって指定されるＵＥで読み替えられてもよい。 The UE to which each of the above embodiments is applied is a TPMI (eg, codebookSubset = nonCoherent) that has (or reports) UE capability 2 and corresponds to a set codebook subset (RRC parameter "codebookSubset"). In the case of a single layer, TPMI indicating the precoding of the number of antenna ports exceeding the number of antenna ports (1 in the above case) of the precoding matrix corresponding to TPMI = 0-3) (TPMI> in the above case). 3) may be read by the UE specified by DCI.
（無線通信システム）
　以下、本開示の一実施形態に係る無線通信システムの構成について説明する。この無線通信システムでは、本開示の上記各実施形態に係る無線通信方法のいずれか又はこれらの組み合わせを用いて通信が行われる。 (Wireless communication system)
Hereinafter, the configuration of the wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. In this wireless communication system, communication is performed using any one of the wireless communication methods according to each of the above-described embodiments of the present disclosure or a combination thereof.
　図１２は、一実施形態に係る無線通信システムの概略構成の一例を示す図である。無線通信システム１は、Third　Generation　Partnership　Project（３ＧＰＰ）によって仕様化されるLong　Term　Evolution（ＬＴＥ）、5th　generation　mobile　communication　system　New　Radio（５Ｇ　ＮＲ）などを用いて通信を実現するシステムであってもよい。 FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment. The wireless communication system 1 may be a system that realizes communication using Long Term Evolution (LTE), 5th generation mobile communication system New Radio (5G NR), etc. specified by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). ..
　また、無線通信システム１は、複数のRadio　Access　Technology（ＲＡＴ）間のデュアルコネクティビティ（マルチＲＡＴデュアルコネクティビティ（Multi-RAT　Dual　Connectivity（ＭＲ－ＤＣ）））をサポートしてもよい。ＭＲ－ＤＣは、ＬＴＥ（Evolved　Universal　Terrestrial　Radio　Access（Ｅ－ＵＴＲＡ））とＮＲとのデュアルコネクティビティ（E-UTRA-NR　Dual　Connectivity（ＥＮ－ＤＣ））、ＮＲとＬＴＥとのデュアルコネクティビティ（NR-E-UTRA　Dual　Connectivity（ＮＥ－ＤＣ））などを含んでもよい。 Further, the wireless communication system 1 may support dual connectivity between a plurality of Radio Access Technologies (RATs) (Multi-RAT Dual Connectivity (MR-DC)). MR-DC is a dual connectivity between LTE (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)) and NR (E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity (EN-DC)), and a dual connectivity between NR and LTE (NR-E). -UTRA Dual Connectivity (NE-DC)) may be included.

　例えば、１サブフレームはＴＴＩと呼ばれてもよいし、複数の連続したサブフレームがＴＴＩと呼ばれてよいし、１スロット又は１ミニスロットがＴＴＩと呼ばれてもよい。つまり、サブフレーム及びＴＴＩの少なくとも一方は、既存のＬＴＥにおけるサブフレーム（１ｍｓ）であってもよいし、１ｍｓより短い期間（例えば、１－１３シンボル）であってもよいし、１ｍｓより長い期間であってもよい。なお、ＴＴＩを表す単位は、サブフレームではなくスロット、ミニスロットなどと呼ばれてもよい。 For example, one subframe may be called TTI, a plurality of consecutive subframes may be called TTI, and one slot or one minislot may be called TTI. That is, at least one of the subframe and TTI may be a subframe (1 ms) in existing LTE, a period shorter than 1 ms (eg, 1-13 symbols), or a period longer than 1 ms. It may be. The unit representing TTI may be called a slot, a mini slot, or the like instead of a subframe.
　ここで、ＴＴＩは、例えば、無線通信におけるスケジューリングの最小時間単位のことをいう。例えば、ＬＴＥシステムでは、基地局が各ユーザ端末に対して、無線リソース（各ユーザ端末において使用することが可能な周波数帯域幅、送信電力など）を、ＴＴＩ単位で割り当てるスケジューリングを行う。なお、ＴＴＩの定義はこれに限られない。 Here, TTI refers to, for example, the minimum time unit of scheduling in wireless communication. For example, in the LTE system, the base station schedules each user terminal to allocate radio resources (frequency bandwidth that can be used in each user terminal, transmission power, etc.) in TTI units. The definition of TTI is not limited to this.
　ＴＴＩは、チャネル符号化されたデータパケット（トランスポートブロック）、コードブロック、コードワードなどの送信時間単位であってもよいし、スケジューリング、リンクアダプテーションなどの処理単位となってもよい。なお、ＴＴＩが与えられたとき、実際にトランスポートブロック、コードブロック、コードワードなどがマッピングされる時間区間（例えば、シンボル数）は、当該ＴＴＩよりも短くてもよい。 The TTI may be a transmission time unit such as a channel-encoded data packet (transport block), a code block, or a code word, or may be a processing unit such as scheduling or link adaptation. When a TTI is given, the time interval (for example, the number of symbols) to which the transport block, code block, code word, etc. are actually mapped may be shorter than the TTI.
　なお、１スロット又は１ミニスロットがＴＴＩと呼ばれる場合、１以上のＴＴＩ（すなわち、１以上のスロット又は１以上のミニスロット）が、スケジューリングの最小時間単位となってもよい。また、当該スケジューリングの最小時間単位を構成するスロット数（ミニスロット数）は制御されてもよい。 When one slot or one mini slot is called TTI, one or more TTIs (that is, one or more slots or one or more mini slots) may be the minimum time unit for scheduling. Further, the number of slots (number of mini-slots) constituting the minimum time unit of the scheduling may be controlled.
　１ｍｓの時間長を有するＴＴＩは、通常ＴＴＩ（３ＧＰＰ　Ｒｅｌ．８－１２におけるＴＴＩ）、ノーマルＴＴＩ、ロングＴＴＩ、通常サブフレーム、ノーマルサブフレーム、ロングサブフレーム、スロットなどと呼ばれてもよい。通常ＴＴＩより短いＴＴＩは、短縮ＴＴＩ、ショートＴＴＩ、部分ＴＴＩ（partial又はfractional　TTI）、短縮サブフレーム、ショートサブフレーム、ミニスロット、サブスロット、スロットなどと呼ばれてもよい。 A TTI having a time length of 1 ms may be referred to as a normal TTI (TTI in 3GPP Rel. 8-12), a normal TTI, a long TTI, a normal subframe, a normal subframe, a long subframe, a slot, or the like. A TTI shorter than a normal TTI may be called a shortened TTI, a short TTI, a partial TTI (partial or fractional TTI), a shortened subframe, a short subframe, a mini slot, a sub slot, a slot, or the like.
　なお、ロングＴＴＩ（例えば、通常ＴＴＩ、サブフレームなど）は、１ｍｓを超える時間長を有するＴＴＩで読み替えてもよいし、ショートＴＴＩ（例えば、短縮ＴＴＩなど）は、ロングＴＴＩのＴＴＩ長未満かつ１ｍｓ以上のＴＴＩ長を有するＴＴＩで読み替えてもよい。 The long TTI (for example, normal TTI, subframe, etc.) may be read as a TTI having a time length of more than 1 ms, and the short TTI (for example, shortened TTI, etc.) is less than the TTI length of the long TTI and 1 ms. It may be read as a TTI having the above TTI length.
