UE CONFIGURED FOR PUSCH REPETITION BASED ON TPMI INDEX AND SRI

Abstract:

A user equipment (UE) configured for physical uplink control channel (PUSCH) repetition in an fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) network decodes a downlink control information (DCI) format that includes a scheduling grant for a PUSCH transmission. For a codebook-based PUSCH transmission, the DCI format indicates at least a first and a second transmit precoder matrix indicator (TPMI) index for PUSCH repetition. The UE may apply a precoder matrix determined from the first TPMI index to encode a PUSCH for a first PUSCH transmission occasion of the PUSCH repetition and may apply a precoder matrix determined from the second TPMI index to encode the PUSCH for a second PUSCH transmission occasion. For a non-codebook-based PUSCH transmission, the DCI format indicates at least a first and a second sounding reference signal (SRS) resource indicator (SRI) for PUSCH repetition. The UE may apply the first SRI to encode the PUSCH for the first PUSCH transmission occasion and may apply the second SRI to encode the PUSCH for the second PUSCH transmission occasion.
