Description

APPARATUS AND METHOD OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
BACKGROUND OF DISCLOSURE
1. Field of the Disclosure
The present disclosure relates to the field of communication systems, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method of wireless communication, which can provide a good communication performance and/or high reliability.
2. Description of the Related Art
New radio (NR) system introduces a multi-transmission/reception point (TRP) based non-coherent joint transmission. Multiple TRPs are connected through backhaul link for coordination. The backhaul link can be ideal or non-ideal. In the case of ideal backhaul, the TRPs can exchange dynamic physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheduling information with short latency and thus different TRPs can coordinate a PDSCH transmission per PDSCH transmission. While, in non-ideal backhaul case, the information exchange between TRPs has large latency and thus the coordination between TRPs can only be semi-static or static.
In current methods, a default spatial relation for physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) , sounding reference signal (SRS) , and physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) scheduled by downlink control information (DCI) format 0_0 in a multi-TRP system is not defined. That has couple of consequences. One consequence is a user equipment (UE) behavior is not clear on transmitting a PUCCH, an SRS, or a PUSCH scheduled by the DCI format 0_0 when a spatial relation is not provided to the UE. And the UE behavior on determining transmit power on signals and channels is not clear too. Furthermore, in the multi-TRP system, each PUCCH resource, SRS resource, or PUSCH scheduled by the DCI format 0_0 can be transmitted to the right TRP. But current method does not specify that.
Therefore, there is a need for an apparatus (such as a user equipment (UE) and/or a base station) and a method of wireless communication, which can solve issues in the prior art, utilize multi-transmission/reception point (TRP) reception, improve uplink reliability, provide a good communication performance, and/or provide high reliability.

In non-coherent joint transmission, different transmission/reception points (TRPs) use different physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs) to schedule physical downlink sharing channel (PDSCH) transmission independently.  Each TRP can send one downlink control information (DCI) to schedule one PDSCH transmission. PDSCHs from different TRPs can be scheduled in the same slot or different slots. Two different PDSCH transmissions from different TRPs can be fully overlapped or partially overlapped in PDSCH resource allocation. To support multi-TRP based non-coherent joint transmission, a user equipment (UE) is requested to receive PDCCH from multiple TRPs and then receive PDSCH sent from multiple TRPs. For each PDSCH transmission, the UE can feedback a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledge (HARQ-ACK) information to a network. In multi-TRP transmission, the UE can feedback the HARQ-ACK information for each PDSCH transmission to the TRP transmitting the PDSCH. The UE can also feedback the HARQ-ACK information for a PDSCH transmission sent from any TRP to one particular TRP.
An example of multi-TRP based non-coherent joint transmission is illustrated in FIG. 1A. A UE receives a PDSCH based on non-coherent joint transmission from two TRPs: TRP1 and TRP2. As illustrated in FIG. 1A, the TRP1 sends one DCI to schedule a transmission of PDSCH 1 to the UE and the TRP2 sends one DCI to schedule a transmission of PDSCH 2 to the UE. At the UE side, the UE receives and decodes DCI from both TRPs. Based on the DCI from the TRP1, the UE receives and decodes the PDSCH 1 and based on the DCI from the TRP2, the UE receives and decodes the PDSCH 2. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1A, the UE reports HARQ-ACK for PDSCH 1 and PDSCH2 to the TRP1 and the TRP 2, respectively. The TRP1 and the TRP 2 use different control resource sets (CORESETs) and search spaces to transmit DCI scheduling PDSCH transmission to the UE. Therefore, the network can configure multiple CORESETs and search spaces. Each TRP can be associated with one or more CORESETs and also the related search spaces. With such configuration, the TRP would use the associated CORESET to transmit DCI to schedule a PDSCH transmission to the UE. The UE can be requested to decode DCI in CORESETs associated with either TRP to obtain PDSCH scheduling information.
Another example of multi-TRP transmission is illustrated in FIG. 1B. A UE receives PDSCH based on non-coherent joint transmission from two TRPs: TRP1 and TRP2. As illustrated in FIG. 1B, the TRP1 sends one DCI to schedule a transmission of PDSCH 1 to the UE and the TRP2 sends one DCI to schedule the transmission of PDSCH 2 to the UE. At the UE side, the UE receives and decodes DCI from both TRPs. Based on the DCI from the TRP1, the UE receives and decodes the PDSCH 1 and based on the DCI from the TRP2, the UE receives and decodes the PDSCH 2. In the example illustrated in FIG. 1B, the UE reports HARQ-ACK for both PDSCH 1 and PDSCH2 to the TRP, which is different from the HARQ-ACK reporting in the example illustrated in FIG. 1A. The example illustrated in FIG. 1B needs ideal backhaul between the TRP 1 and the TRP 2, while the example illustrated in FIG. 1A can be deployed in the scenarios that the backhaul between the TRP 1 and the TRP 2 is ideal or non-ideal.
In new radio/5th generation (NR/5G) systems, a higher layer parameter CORSETPoolIndex is used to differentiate whether multi-TRP transmission is supported in one serving cell or not. In one serving cell, if multi-TRP transmission is supported, CORESETs in that serving cell would be configured with one of two different values for the higher layer parameter CORESETPoolIndex. In details, in one bandwidth part (BWP) of the serving cell, if the UE is provided with higher layer parameter CORESETPoolIndex with a value of 0 or not provided with higher layer parameter for some CORESETs and is provided with higher layer parameter CORESETPoolIndex with a value of 1 for other CORESET (s) , then multi-TRP transmission is supported for that UE in the BWP of the serving cell.
When a spatial relation information is not configured to the PUCCH resource or SRS resource, the UE can derive a default spatial relation information for the transmission of PUCCH or SRS. For an SRS resource, the default spatial relation information is: If there is CORESET configured in the DL BWP in the CC, the UE can transmit the SRS resource with the same spatial domain transmission filter used for the reception of the CORESET with the lowest controlResourceSetId in the active DL BWP in the CC. If the UE is not configured with any CORESET in the CC, the UE can transmit the SRS resource with the same spatial domain transmission filter used for the reception of the activated TCI state with the lowest ID applicable to PDSCH in the active DL BWP of the CC.
For a PUCCH resource, the default spatial relation information is that: the UE transmits the PUCCH resource with a spatial setting for a PUCCH transmission from the UE is same as a spatial setting for PDCCH receptions by the UE in the CORESET with the lowest ID on the active DL BWP of the CC.
Default spatial relation for PUSCH scheduled by DCI 0_0 is also specified: For PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 on a cell and if the higher layer parameter enableDefaultBeamPlForPUSCH0_0 is set 'enabled' , the UE is not configured with PUCCH resources on the active UL BWP and the UE is in RRC connected mode, the UE can transmit PUSCH according to the spatial relation, if applicable, with a reference to the RS with 'QCL-Type-D' corresponding to the QCL assumption of the CORESET with the lowest ID. For PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 on a cell and if the higher layer parameter enableDefaultBeamPlForPUSCH0_0 is set 'enabled' , the UE is configured with PUCCH resources on the active UL BWP where all the PUCCH resource (s) are not configured with any spatial relation and the UE is in RRC connected mode, the UE can transmit PUSCH according to the spatial relation, if applicable, with a reference to the RS with 'QCL-Type-D' corresponding to the QCL assumption of the CORESET with the lowest ID in case CORESET (s) are configured on the CC.
Regarding the default pathloss RS for PUCCH, SRS and PUSCH, some embodiments have the following methods: For SRS: the default pathloss RS is the periodic RS resource with 'QCL-TypeD' in the TCI state or the QCL assumption of a CORESET with the lowest index, if CORESETs are provided in the active DL BWP and the active PDSCH TCI state with lowest ID, if CORESETs are not provided in the active DL BWP of the CC. For PUCCH: the default pathloss RS is periodic RS resource with 'QCL-TypeD' in the TCI state or the QCL assumption of a CORESET with the lowest index in the active DL BWP of the CC. For PUSCH scheduled by DCI 0_0, the default pathloss RS is determined as: If there is no PUCCH resource configured, the default pathloss RS is periodic RS resource with 'QCL-TypeD' in the TCI state or the QCL assumption of a CORESET with the lowest index in the active DL BWP of the scheduling cell for the serving cell. If there is PUCCH resource configured but the PUCCH resource is not configured with spatial relation info, the default pathloss RS is a periodic RS resource with 'QCL-TypeD' in the TCI state or the QCL assumption of a CORESET with the lowest index in the active DL BWP of the CC.

The  processor  11 or 21 may include application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) , other chipset, logic circuit and/or data processing device. The  memory  12 or 22 may include read-only memory (ROM) , random access memory (RAM) , flash memory, memory card, storage medium and/or other storage device. The  transceiver  13 or 23 may include baseband circuitry to process radio frequency signals. When the embodiments are implemented in software, the techniques described herein can be implemented with modules (e.g., procedures, functions, and so on) that perform the functions described herein. The modules can be stored in the  memory  12 or 22 and executed by the  processor  11 or 21. The  memory  12 or 22 can be implemented within the  processor  11 or 21 or external to the  processor  11 or 21 in which case those can be communicatively coupled to the  processor  11 or 21 via various means as is known in the art.
In some embodiments, the processor 11 is configured to be scheduled, by the base station 20, with an uplink channel. The processor 11 is configured to determine a spatial relation and a pathloss reference signal (RS) for the uplink channel, wherein when the uplink channel comprises a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) , a default spatial relation and a default pathloss RS can be an RS with quasi co-location (QCL) -Type-D corresponding to a QCL assumption of a control resource set (CORESET) with a lowest identifier (ID) . This can solve issues in the prior art, utilize multi-transmission/reception point (TRP) reception, improve uplink reliability, provide a good communication performance, and/or provide high reliability.

In some embodiments, the PUSCH is scheduled by a downlink control information (DCI) format 0_0, and in a single-DCI based multi-transmission/reception point (TRP) system, the default spatial relation and the default pathloss RS can be the RS with the QCL-Type-D corresponding to the QCL assumption of the CORESET with the lowest ID. In some embodiments, for the PUSCH is scheduled by the DCI format 0_0, in a multi-DCI based multi-TRP, the default spatial relation and the default pathloss RS can be the RS with the QCL-Type-D corresponding to the QCL assumption of the CORESET with the lowest ID among CORESETs of a scheduling TRP. In some embodiments, for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource, in a single-DCI based multi-TRP system, a default spatial relation can be same as a spatial setting for PDCCH receptions by the UE in the CORESET with the lowest ID on an active downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) of the CC and a default pathloss RS is a periodic RS resource with the QCL-Type-D in a TCI state or the QCL assumption of the CORESET with a lowest index in the active DL BWP of the component carrier (CC) . In some embodiments, for a PUCCH resource, in a multi-DCI based multi-TRP system, for a PUCCH transmission triggered by a  DCI, a default spatial relation and a default pathloss RS can be the RS with the QCL-Type-D corresponding to the QCL assumption of the CORESET with the lowest ID among CORESETs of a scheduling TRP.

Component 1: PUSCH of DCI 0_0:
In some embodiments, for a PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 in a multi-TRP system, if the UE is not provided with PUCCH resource in the active UL BWP and the UE is already in RRC connected mode, the UE can transmit the PUSCH according to a spatial relation with a reference to the RS of QCL-TypeD in the TCI-state or QCL assumption of the CORESET with the lowest ID of corresponding TRP. If the UE is provided with PUCCH rescore but all the PUCCH resources are not configured with spatial relation info, the UE can transmit the PUSCH according to a spatial relation with a reference to the RS of QCL-TypeD in the TCI-state or QCL assumption of the CORESET with the lowest ID of corresponding TRP. In some embodiments, in multi-DCI based multi-TRP system, the default spatial relation info can be the QCL-TypeD RS of the TCI-state or QCL assumption of the CORESET with lowest ID of all CORESETs with the same CORESETPoolIndex as the PDCCH scheduling that PUSCH transmission. In some embodiments, in single-DCI based multi-TRP system, the default spatial relation info can be the QCL-TypeD RS of the TCI-state or QCL assumption of the CORESET with lowest ID. Optionally, the UE can apply the same method to derive the default pathloss RS.
In a first example, for PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 on a cell and if the higher layer parameter enableDefaultBeamPlForPUSCH0_0 is set ‘enabled’ and if the UE is provided at least one TCI codepoint mapped with two TCI states, the UE is not configured with PUCCH resources on the active UL BWP and the UE is in RRC connected mode, the UE can transmit PUSCH according to the spatial relation, if applicable, with a reference to the RS with ‘QCL-TypeD’ corresponding to the QCL assumption of the CORESET with the lowest ID on the active DL BWP of the cell. In some embodiments, for PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 on a cell and if the higher layer parameter enableDefaultBeamPlForPUSCH0_0 is set ‘enabled’ and if the UE is provided at least one TCI codepoint mapped with two TCI states, the UE is configured with PUCCH resources on the active UL BWP where all the PUCCH resource (s) are not configured with any spatial relation and the UE is in RRC connected mode, the UE can transmit PUSCH according to the spatial relation, if applicable, with a reference to the RS with ‘QCL-TypeD’ corresponding to the QCL assumption of the CORESET with the lowest ID on the active DL BWP of the cell in case CORESET (s) are configured on the cell.
In a second example, for PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 on a cell and if the higher layer parameter enableDefaultBeamPlForPUSCH0_0 is set ‘enabled’ and if a UE configured by higher layer parameter PDCCH-Config that contains two different values of CORESETPoolIndex in ControlResourceSet, the UE is not configured with PUCCH resources on the active UL BWP and the UE is in RRC connected mode, the UE can transmit PUSCH according to the  spatial relation, if applicable, with a reference to the RS with ‘QCL-TypeD’ corresponding to the QCL assumption of the CORESET with the lowest ID among CORESETs, which are configured with the same value of CORESETPoolIndex as the PDCCH scheduling that PUSCH on the active DL BWP of the cell. In some embodiments, for PUSCH scheduled by DCI format 0_0 on a cell and if the higher layer parameter enableDefaultBeamPlForPUSCH0_0 is set ‘enabled’ and if the UE is configured by higher layer parameter PDCCH-Config that contains two different values of CORESETPoolIndex in ControlResourceSet, the UE is configured with PUCCH resources on the active UL BWP where all the PUCCH resource (s) are not configured with any spatial relation and the UE is in RRC connected mode, the UE can transmit PUSCH according to the spatial relation, if applicable, with a reference to the RS with ‘QCL-TypeD’ corresponding to the QCL assumption of the CORESET with the lowest ID among CORESETs, which are configured with the same value of CORESETPoolIndex as the PDCCH scheduling that PUSCH on the active DL BWP of the cell in case CORESET (s) are configured on the CC.
