The existing technique may be appropriately used in the operation of the wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention. The existing technique is, for example, an existing NR or LTE, but is not limited to the existing NR or LTE.

FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an example (1) of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a base station 10 and a terminal 20 as shown in FIG. Although FIG. 1 shows one base station 10 and one terminal 20, this is an example, and each of them may be plural.

The base station 10 is a communication device that provides one or more cells and performs wireless communication with the terminal 20. The physical resources of the radio signal are defined in the time domain and the frequency domain, the time domain may be defined by the number of OFDM symbols, and the frequency domain may be defined by the number of subcarriers or the number of resource blocks. Further, the TTI (Transmission Time Interval) in the time domain may be a slot, or the TTI may be a subframe.

The base station 10 can perform carrier aggregation that bundles a plurality of cells (a plurality of CCs (component carriers)) and communicates with the terminal 20. In carrier aggregation, one PCell (primary cell) and one or more SCells (secondary cells) are used.

The base station 10 transmits a synchronization signal, system information, and the like to the terminal 20. Synchronous signals are, for example, NR-PSS and NR-SSS. The system information is transmitted by, for example, NR-PBCH or PDSCH, and is also referred to as broadcast information. As shown in FIG. 1, the base station 10 transmits a control signal or data to the terminal 20 by DL (Downlink), and receives the control signal or data from the terminal 20 by UL (Uplink). Here, what is transmitted through a control channel such as PUCCH or PDCCH is called a control signal, and what is transmitted through a shared channel such as PUSCH or PDSCH is called data. Such a name is an example. Is.

The terminal 20 is a communication device having a wireless communication function such as a smartphone, a mobile phone, a tablet, a wearable terminal, and a communication module for M2M (Machine-to-Machine). As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal 20 receives a control signal or data from the base station 10 by DL, and transmits the control signal or data to the base station 10 by UL, so that various types provided by the wireless communication system are provided. Use communication services. The terminal 20 may be referred to as a UE, and the base station 10 may be referred to as a gNB.

The terminal 20 can perform carrier aggregation that bundles a plurality of cells (a plurality of CCs (component carriers)) and communicates with the base station 10. In carrier aggregation, one PCell (primary cell) and one or more SCells (secondary cells) are used. Moreover, PUCCH-S Cell having PUCCH may be used.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an example (2) of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of a wireless communication system when DC (Dual connectivity) is executed. As shown in FIG. 2, a base station 10A serving as an MN (MasterNode) and a base station 10B serving as an SN (SecondaryNode) are provided. Base station 10A and base station 10B are each connected to the core network. The terminal 20 can communicate with both the base station 10A and the base station 10B.

The cell group provided by the MN base station 10A is called an MCG (Master Cell Group), and the cell group provided by the SN base station 10B is called an SCG (Secondary Cell Group). Further, in the DC, the MCG is composed of one PCell and one or more SCells, and the SCG is composed of one PSCell (Primary SCG Cell) and one or more SCells.

Note that the DC may be a communication method using two communication standards, and any communication standard may be combined. For example, the combination may be any of NR and 6G standard, LTE and 6G standard. Further, the DC may be a communication method using three or more communication standards, and may be called by another name different from the DC.

The processing operation in the present embodiment may be executed in the system configuration shown in FIG. 1, may be executed in the system configuration shown in FIG. 2, or may be executed in a system configuration other than these. ..

In NR release 15/16, the resource for transmitting UL data is allocated by the network based on the SR (Scheduling Request) transmitted by the terminal 20 to the base station 10. Alternatively, the network executes a resource setting (Configured grant) capable of transmitting UL data that does not require SR to the terminal 20. Further, in 6G, it is also considered that the terminal 20 autonomously selects a resource. That is, UE-centric transmission / reception is assumed.

Here, as a scheduling mechanism that does not use SR, NR release 15/16 supports PUSCH repetitive transmission in continuous slots or symbols and PUSCH frequency hopping in the CC to ensure reliability. On the other hand, in 6G in the future, there is a possibility that more terminals 20 will autonomously select resources, and it is expected that the collision probability of UL data will increase. In order to reduce the collision probability, for example, different CCs may be selected between the terminals 20, and a wider spread frequency hopping, for example, frequency hopping between CCs may be applied.

Hereinafter, the expansion of frequency hopping (FH: Frequency Hopping) in PUSCH repeated transmission will be described.

FIG. 3 is a sequence diagram for explaining an example of a transmission operation according to the embodiment of the present invention. In step S1, the base station 10 sets the PUSCH repeat transmission to the terminal 20. The terminal 20 may assume that a frequency hopping pattern is also set when PUSCH repeated transmission is set. For example, the PUSCH repeat transmission setting may include a frequency hopping pattern. Alternatively, the frequency hopping pattern may be defined in advance in the specifications, or the frequency hopping pattern may be determined by settings other than PUSCH repeated transmission (for example, UL cell setting, UL-BWP setting, etc.). Further, in step S1, the frequency hopping pattern may be set for each CC, or may be set in common among the CCs. Further, in step S1, different PUSCH repeat transmission and / or frequency hopping patterns may be set for the SR-based PUSCH and the non-SR-based PUSCH, and a common PUSCH repeat transmission and / or frequency hopping pattern may be set. It may be set.

In step S2, the base station 10 may send a notification to enable the frequency hopping of the PUSCH to the terminal 20. The notification may be executed by signaling such as RRC (RadioResourceControl), MAC-CE (MediaAccessControl-ControlElement), DCI (DownlinkControlInformation) and the like. Note that step S2 does not have to be executed, and the terminal 20 may assume that frequency hopping is effective when a frequency hopping pattern is set, for example.

Note that steps S1 and S2 may not be executed, and the terminal 20 may start execution from step S3. That is, the terminal 20 may autonomously start applying frequency hopping. Alternatively, in step S1, PUSCH repeat transmission not including the frequency hopping pattern may be set, and then step S3 may be executed.

In step S3, the terminal 20 may transmit a notification for executing PUSCH repeated transmission to the base station 10. For example, the terminal 20 may notify the base station 10 which of the frequency hopping patterns specified in the specifications is to be used. Further, in addition to the frequency hopping pattern to be used, the terminal 20 may notify the number of times the PUSCH repeated transmission is performed, or may notify the number of times the PUSCH repeated transmission is performed. Further, when the terminal 20 reserves the PUSCH transmission resource in advance, the terminal 20 may notify the frequency hopping pattern in addition to the notification of executing the PUSCH repeated transmission, or notify the base station 10 of the number of times of the PUSCH repeated transmission and the like. You may. Further, the terminal 20 may transmit a notification for executing PUSCH repetitive transmission to the base station 10 via a dedicated channel (for example, a frequency hopping control channel (FHControlChannel)). When the frequency hopping pattern is notified to the terminal 20 by step S1, step S3 may not be executed.

In step S4, the terminal 20 applies the set frequency hopping and repeatedly executes PUSCH.

Here, the terminal 20 may assume frequency hopping between a plurality of CCs when repeatedly transmitting PUSCH. For example, when a notification for enabling frequency hopping of PUSCH is received in step S2, frequency hopping between a plurality of CCs may be assumed.

For example, the terminal 20 may switch the number of CCs that execute PUSCH frequency hopping based on signaling such as RRC, MAC-CE, or DCI. Further, the terminal 20 may execute switching of the number of CCs for executing PUSCH frequency hopping in association with other signaling. For example, in SR-based PUSCH transmission, PUSCH frequency hopping may be executed within 1 CC, and in non-SR-based PUSCH transmission, PUSCH frequency hopping may be executed between N (> 1) CCs.

Further, for example, the base station 10 may notify the terminal 20 of the CC that performs PUSCH transmission by signaling such as RRC, MAC-CE, or DCI. Alternatively, the terminal 20 may determine the CC that performs the PUSCH transmission. For example, the terminal 20 may determine all CCs that have received the PDSCH as CCs that perform PUSCH transmission, or may determine all enabled CCs as CCs that perform PUSCH transmission. Further, the terminal 20 may acquire CC candidates from the base station 10 by signaling such as RRC, MAC-CE or DCI. The CC candidates may be notified to the terminal 20 together with their associated priorities, and the terminal 20 may decide to perform PUSCH transmission with U CCs having higher priorities among the CC candidates. U may be notified from the base station 10 by signaling such as RRC, MAC-CE or DCI.

Further, the terminal 20 may determine whether PUSCH frequency hopping is valid or invalid among a plurality of CCs based on the PUSCH type to be transmitted. For example, the type may correspond to RA (Random Access) type, SR type, or the like. For example, when PUSCH type X1 is an SR-based PUSCH and PUSCH type X2 is a non-SR-based PUSCH, PUSCH type X1 disables frequency hopping between a plurality of CCs, and PUSCH type X2 is a non-SR-based PUSCH. Frequency hopping may be enabled.

Further, the terminal 20 may assume PUSCH frequency hopping for each PUCCH group (closed to the PUCCH group). That is, the terminal 20 may assume frequency hopping between a plurality of CCs corresponding to the PUCCH group. Further, for example, the terminal 20 may assume PUSCH frequency hopping (closed to the PUCCH group) for each PUCCH group, or may assume PUSCH frequency hopping not closed to the PUCCH group. For example, when performing PUSCH frequency hopping that is not closed to the PUCCH group, if the CC or radio resource used for PUSCH transmission collides between the PUCCH groups, it is based on the priority (for example, the priority associated with the PUCCH group). Then, the PUSCH transmission having a lower priority may be dropped.

Further, the terminal 20 may assume PUSCH frequency hopping for each TAG (Timing Advance Group) group (that is, closed to the TAG group). That is, the terminal 20 may assume frequency hopping between a plurality of CCs corresponding to the TAG group.

Further, the terminal 20 may assume PUSCH frequency hopping for each cell group to which a plurality of CCs belong (that is, closed in the cell group). That is, the terminal 20 may assume frequency hopping between a plurality of CCs corresponding to the cell group.

By applying frequency hopping to PUSCH repeat transmission as described above, scheduling flexibility is improved by utilizing resources in a wider frequency domain. Further, in the case of non-SR-based PUSCH, the possibility of collision with resources used by other terminals 20 can be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the terminal 20 assumes PUSCH frequency hopping transmission between a plurality of CCs, it is assumed that PUSCH repeated transmission and / or frequency hopping in RB (Resource Block) units within 1 CC is set. You may. For example, a start symbol, a repeat length, or the like may be set as a setting for PUSCH repeat transmission, and a start RB, an RB offset, or the like may be set as a setting for frequency hopping. FIG. 4 shows an example in which repetition 1 and repetition 4 are frequency positions at the start, and repetition 2 and repetition 3 are frequency positions to which an offset of frequency hopping is added.

As shown in FIG. 5, when assuming PUSCH frequency hopping transmission between a plurality of CCs, the terminal 20 may assume that PUSCH repeated transmission and / or frequency hopping in CC units is set. For example, a start symbol, a repeat length, or the like may be set as a setting for PUSCH repeat transmission, and a start RB, a CC offset, or the like may be set as a setting for frequency hopping.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example (3) of repeated transmission in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, when assuming PUSCH frequency hopping transmission between a plurality of CCs, the terminal 20 performs RB unit PUSCH repeated transmission and / or frequency hopping within 1 CC, and CC unit PUSCH repeated transmission and /. Alternatively, it may be assumed that frequency hopping is set. For example, a start symbol, a repeat length, and the like may be set as PUSCH repeat transmission settings, and a start RB, RB offset, CC offset, and the like may be set as frequency hopping settings. FIG. 6 shows an example in which repetition 1 and repetition 4 are frequency positions at the start, and repetition 2 and repetition 3 are frequency positions to which an offset of frequency hopping is added. Although FIG. 6 shows repeated transmission in slot units, it may be repeated transmission in symbol units within or between slots.

The above settings related to PUSCH repeated transmission and / or frequency hopping may be notified from the base station 10 to the terminal 20 by signaling such as RRC, MAC-CE, or DCI. Further, the terminal 20 may assume that only a part of the settings are updated by MAC-CE, DCI, or the like.

Switching between repeated transmission and frequency hopping shown in FIG. 4, repeated transmission and frequency hopping shown in FIG. 5, and repeated transmission and frequency hopping shown in FIG. 6 is performed by signaling such as RRC, MAC-CE, or DCI. The base station 10 may notify the terminal 20. Further, the base station 10 may notify the terminal 20 of the switching to a communication method other than the above-mentioned repeated transmission and frequency hopping by signaling such as RRC, MAC-CE or DCI.
