Description

端末及び通信方法Terminal and communication method
 本発明は、無線通信システムにおける端末及び通信方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a terminal and communication method in a wireless communication system.
 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project)では、システム容量の更なる大容量化、データ伝送速度の更なる高速化、無線区間における更なる低遅延化等を実現するために、5GあるいはNR(New Radio)と呼ばれる無線通信方式(以下、当該無線通信方式を「NR」という。)の検討が進んでいる。5Gでは、10Gbps以上のスループットを実現しつつ無線区間の遅延を1ms以下にするという要求条件を満たすために、様々な無線技術及びネットワークアーキテクチャの検討が行われている(例えば非特許文献1)。 In the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), 5G or NR (New Radio) and NR (New Radio) are being used in order to further increase the system capacity, further increase the data transmission speed, and further reduce the delay in the wireless section. A radio communication system called "NR" (the radio communication system is hereinafter referred to as "NR") is under study. In 5G, various radio technologies and network architectures are being studied in order to meet the requirements of realizing a throughput of 10 Gbps or more and keeping the delay in the radio section to 1 ms or less (for example, Non-Patent Document 1).
 さらに、3GPP標準化において、URLLC(Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications)技術の拡張に関して、PUCCH(Physical Uplink Control Channel)キャリアスイッチング(carrier switching)が検討されている。PUCCHキャリアスイッチングは、TDD(Time Division Duplex)方式において、HARQ-ACK(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-ACKnowledgement)フィードバックのレイテンシを削減する方法として検討されている(例えば非特許文献2)。 Furthermore, in the 3GPP standardization, PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel) carrier switching is being considered for extension of URLLC (Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications) technology. PUCCH carrier switching is being studied as a method of reducing HARQ-ACK (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest-ACKnowledgement) feedback latency in the TDD (Time Division Duplex) scheme (eg, Non-Patent Document 2).
 例えば、HARQ-ACKを送信するスロットがダウンリンクに割り当てられている場合、PUCCHキャリアスイッチングが実行される場合がある。一方、HARQ-ACKを送信するスロットがダウンリンクに割り当てられている場合であっても、端末内でUCI(Uplink Control Information)多重が実行可能であった場合、PUCCHキャリアスイッチングを実行せずに、当該端末はHARQ-ACKを送信することができる。すなわち、処理動作の実行順によって、UCIが送信されるチャネルが異なることがあった。 For example, PUCCH carrier switching may be performed if a slot for transmitting HARQ-ACK is assigned to the downlink. On the other hand, even if the slot for transmitting HARQ-ACK is assigned to the downlink, if UCI (Uplink Control Information) multiplexing can be executed in the terminal, without executing PUCCH carrier switching, The terminal may send HARQ-ACK. In other words, the channel through which the UCI is transmitted may differ depending on the execution order of the processing operations.
 本発明は上記の点に鑑みてなされたものであり、無線通信システムにおいて、UCI(Uplink Control Information)を送信する手順を決定することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to determine a procedure for transmitting UCI (Uplink Control Information) in a wireless communication system.
 開示の技術によれば、上り制御情報を運ぶチャネルに適用するキャリアスイッチングと、上り制御情報を運ぶチャネルと上り制御情報を運ぶチャネルとに適用する多重化のうち、少なくとも一つを実行する制御部と、前記キャリアスイッチング及び前記多重化の少なくとも一つが適用された上り制御情報を運ぶチャネルを送信する送信部とを有し、前記制御部は、下り制御情報によるダイナミックキャリアスイッチングと、予め規定されたセミスタティックキャリアスイッチングのいずれかを上り制御情報を運ぶチャネルに適用する端末が提供される。 According to the disclosed technique, a control unit that performs at least one of carrier switching applied to a channel carrying uplink control information and multiplexing applied to a channel carrying uplink control information and a channel carrying uplink control information and a transmitting unit that transmits a channel carrying uplink control information to which at least one of the carrier switching and the multiplexing is applied, wherein the control unit performs dynamic carrier switching according to downlink control information, and a predefined A terminal is provided that applies any of semi-static carrier switching to channels carrying uplink control information.
 開示の技術によれば、無線通信システムにおいて、UCI(Uplink Control Information)を送信する手順を決定することができる。 According to the disclosed technology, it is possible to determine a procedure for transmitting UCI (Uplink Control Information) in a wireless communication system.

 図1は、本発明の実施の形態における無線通信システムの例(1)を説明するための図である。本発明の実施の形態における無線通信システムは、図1に示されるように、基地局10及び端末20を含む。図1には、基地局10及び端末20が1つずつ示されているが、これは例であり、それぞれ複数であってもよい。 FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining example (1) of a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. A wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base station 10 and terminals 20, as shown in FIG. Although one base station 10 and one terminal 20 are shown in FIG. 1, this is an example and there may be more than one.
 基地局10は、1つ以上のセルを提供し、端末20と無線通信を行う通信装置である。無線信号の物理リソースは、時間領域及び周波数領域で定義され、時間領域はOFDMシンボル数で定義されてもよいし、周波数領域はサブキャリア数又はリソースブロック数で定義されてもよい。また、時間領域におけるTTI(Transmission Time Interval)がスロットであってもよいし、TTIがサブフレームであってもよい。 The base station 10 is a communication device that provides one or more cells and performs wireless communication with the terminal 20. A physical resource of a radio signal is 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 resource blocks. Also, a TTI (Transmission Time Interval) in the time domain may be a slot, or a TTI may be a subframe.
 基地局10は、複数のセル(複数のCC(コンポーネントキャリア))を束ねて端末20と通信を行うキャリアアグリゲーションを行うことが可能である。キャリアアグリゲーションでは、1つのPCell(プライマリセル)と1以上のSCell(セカンダリセル)が使用される。 The base station 10 can perform carrier aggregation in which multiple cells (multiple CCs (component carriers)) are bundled and communicated with the terminal 20 . In carrier aggregation, one PCell (primary cell) and one or more SCells (secondary cells) are used.
 基地局10は、同期信号及びシステム情報等を端末20に送信する。同期信号は、例えば、NR-PSS及びNR-SSSである。システム情報は、例えば、NR-PBCHあるいはPDSCHにて送信され、ブロードキャスト情報ともいう。図1に示されるように、基地局10は、DL(Downlink)で制御信号又はデータを端末20に送信し、UL(Uplink)で制御信号又はデータを端末20から受信する。なお、ここでは、PUCCH、PDCCH等の制御チャネルで送信されるものを制御信号と呼び、PUSCH、PDSCH等の共有チャネルで送信されるものをデータと呼んでいるが、このような呼び方は一例である。 The base station 10 transmits a synchronization signal, system information, etc. to the terminal 20. Synchronization signals are, for example, NR-PSS and NR-SSS. System information is transmitted, for example, on NR-PBCH or PDSCH, and is also called broadcast information. As shown in FIG. 1, the base station 10 transmits control signals or data to the terminal 20 on DL (Downlink) and receives control signals or data from the terminal 20 on UL (Uplink). Here, what is transmitted on control channels such as PUCCH and PDCCH is called a control signal, and what is transmitted on a shared channel such as PUSCH and PDSCH is called data. is.
 端末20は、スマートフォン、携帯電話機、タブレット、ウェアラブル端末、M2M(Machine-to-Machine)用通信モジュール等の無線通信機能を備えた通信装置である。図1に示されるように、端末20は、DLで制御信号又はデータを基地局10から受信し、ULで制御信号又はデータを基地局10に送信することで、無線通信システムにより提供される各種通信サービスを利用する。なお、端末20をUEと呼び、基地局10をgNBと呼んでもよい。 The terminal 20 is a communication device with a wireless communication function, such as a smartphone, mobile phone, tablet, wearable terminal, or M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication module. As shown in FIG. 1 , the terminal 20 receives control signals or data from the base station 10 on the DL and transmits control signals or data to the base station 10 on the UL, thereby performing various functions provided by the wireless communication system. Use communication services. Note that the terminal 20 may be called UE, and the base station 10 may be called gNB.
 図2は、本発明の実施の形態における無線通信システムの例(2)を説明するための図である。図2は、デュアルコネクティビティ(DC:Dual connectivity)が実行される場合における無線通信システムの構成例を示す。図2に示されるとおり、マスタノード(MN:Master Node)となる基地局10Aと、セカンダリノード(SN:Secondary Node)となる基地局10Bが備えられる。基地局10Aと基地局10Bはそれぞれコアネットワーク30に接続される。端末20は基地局10Aと基地局10Bの両方と通信を行うことができる。 FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining example (2) of the wireless communication system according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of a radio communication system when dual connectivity (DC) is performed. As shown in FIG. 2, a base station 10A serving as a master node (MN: Master Node) and a base station 10B serving as a secondary node (SN: Secondary Node) are provided. The base station 10A and the base station 10B are connected to the core network 30 respectively. Terminal 20 can communicate with both base station 10A and base station 10B.
 MNである基地局10Aにより提供されるセルグループをマスタセルグループ(MCG:Master Cell Group)と呼び、SNである基地局10Bにより提供されるセルグループをセカンダリセルグループ(SCG:Secondary Cell Group)と呼ぶ。また、デュアルコネクティビティにおいて、MCGは1つのPCellと0以上のSCellから構成され、SCGは1つのPSCell(Primary SCG Cell)と0以上のSCellから構成される。 A cell group provided by the base station 10A, which is the MN, is called a master cell group (MCG), and a cell group provided by the base station 10B, which is the SN, is called a secondary cell group (SCG). call. In dual connectivity, an MCG is composed of one PCell and 0 or more SCells, and an SCG is composed of one PSCell (Primary SCG Cell) and 0 or more SCells.
 なお、デュアルコネクティビティは2つの通信規格を利用した通信方法であってもよく、どのような通信規格が組み合わされてもよい。例えば、当該組み合わせは、NRと6G規格、LTEと6G規格のいずれでもよい。また、デュアルコネクティビティは3以上の通信規格を利用した通信方法であってもよく、デュアルコネクティビティとは異なる他の名称で呼ばれてもよい。 Note that dual connectivity may be a communication method using two communication standards, and any communication standards may be combined. For example, the combination may be either NR and 6G standard or LTE and 6G standard. Also, dual connectivity may be a communication method using three or more communication standards, and may be called by other names different from dual connectivity.
 本実施の形態における処理動作は、図1に示されるシステム構成で実行されてもよいし、図2に示されるシステム構成で実行されてもよいし、これら以外のシステム構成で実行されてもよい。 The processing operations 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. .
 3GPP標準化において、強化されたIoT(Internet of Things)及びURLLC(Ultra-reliable and low latency communication)をNRでサポートすることが検討されている。さらに、URLLCの要件に対応するため、HARQ-ACKのフィードバックの強化が検討されている。  In 3GPP standardization, support for enhanced IoT (Internet of Things) and URLLC (Ultra-reliable and low latency communication) in NR is being considered. Furthermore, enhancement of HARQ-ACK feedback is being considered to meet URLLC requirements.
 図3は、PUCCHキャリアスイッチングの例(1)を示す図である。HARQフィードバックのため、PUCCHキャリアスイッチングが検討されている。図3に示されるように、PUCCHが送信されるセル1において、タイミングT1のPDSCHに対応するHARQ-ACKが、K1値未満のタイミングT2のPUCCHで送信されるとき、セル1におけるタイミングT2はDLであるため送信することができず、セル1がULとなるタイミングT3ではK1値を超える。そこで、タイミングT2がULであるセル2において、PUCCHが送信される。なお、K1値は、PDSCHからHARQフィードバックまでのタイミングを示すパラメータであってもよい。 FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example (1) of PUCCH carrier switching. PUCCH carrier switching is being considered for HARQ feedback. As shown in FIG. 3, in cell 1 where PUCCH is transmitted, when HARQ-ACK corresponding to PDSCH at timing T1 is transmitted at PUCCH at timing T2 less than the K1 value, timing T2 in cell 1 is DL Therefore, the K1 value is exceeded at timing T3 when cell 1 becomes UL. Therefore, PUCCH is transmitted in cell 2 whose timing T2 is UL. Note that the K1 value may be a parameter indicating the timing from PDSCH to HARQ feedback.
 HARQ-ACK含むUCI(Uplink Control Information)のUE内多重(intra-UE multiplexing)は、セミスタティックDLシンボル、SSB(SS/PBCH block)シンボル及びSFI(Slot Format Indication)と衝突することに起因するULチャネルのキャンセル以前に実行される。 Intra-UE multiplexing of UCI (Uplink Control Information) including HARQ-ACK is semi-static DL symbol, SSB (SS / PBCH block) symbol and UL due to collision with SFI (Slot Format Indication) Executed before channel cancellation.
 ここで、PUCCHキャリアスイッチングがセミスタティック設定に基づいてサポートされ、かつ端末20が無効なシンボルとの衝突を条件とする所定のルールに基づいてPUCCHキャリアを決定するとき、PUCCHキャリアスイッチングとUE内多重の実行順がUL送信結果に影響を及ぼす。 Here, PUCCH carrier switching and intra-UE multiplexing when PUCCH carrier switching is supported based on semi-static configuration and terminal 20 determines the PUCCH carrier based on a predetermined rule conditional on collision with invalid symbols. order of execution affects the UL transmission result.
 図4は、PUCCHキャリアスイッチングの例(2)を示す図である。仮に、UE内多重がPUCCHキャリアスイッチングよりも先に実行される場合、図4の例では、PUSCHセルにおけるDG(Dynamic grant)-PUSCHにおいて、HARQ-ACKが送信される。一方、PUCCHキャリアスイッチングがUE内多重よりも先に実行される場合、図4の例では、PUCCH候補セルのPUCCHにおいてHARQ-ACKが送信されると決定され、さらにUE内多重により、PUSCHセルにおけるCG(Configured grant)-PUSCHにおいて、HARQ-ACKが送信される。 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example (2) of PUCCH carrier switching. If intra-UE multiplexing is performed prior to PUCCH carrier switching, HARQ-ACK is transmitted in DG (Dynamic grant)-PUSCH in the PUSCH cell in the example of FIG. On the other hand, when PUCCH carrier switching is performed before intra-UE multiplexing, in the example of FIG. 4, it is determined that HARQ-ACK is transmitted in PUCCH of the PUCCH candidate cell, and further intra-UE multiplexing in the PUSCH cell HARQ-ACK is transmitted on CG (Configured grant)-PUSCH.

 図5、図6、図7及び図8に示される動作において、UCIを多重化する条件は、以下1)-3)に示される条件であってもよい。なお、多重化されるPUCCHは同一キャリアに配置されてもよいし異なるキャリアに配置されてもよい。 In the operations shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8, the conditions for multiplexing the UCI may be the conditions shown in 1)-3) below. Note that PUCCHs to be multiplexed may be assigned to the same carrier or may be assigned to different carriers.
1)1PUCCHのリソースが、他のPUCCHのリソースにオーバラップするとき。
2)1PUCCHを含むスロットが、他のPUCCHを含むスロットにオーバラップするとき。又は2つのPUCCHが同一スロットに含まれるとき。
3)1PUCCHのリソースが、他のPUCCHを含むスロットにオーバラップするとき。
1) When one PUCCH resource overlaps another PUCCH resource.
2) When a slot containing one PUCCH overlaps a slot containing another PUCCH. Or when two PUCCHs are included in the same slot.
3) When one PUCCH resource overlaps a slot containing another PUCCH.
 上記1)-3)のいずれが適用されるかは、UCIタイプにより異なってもよい。例えば、ダイナミックHARQ-ACKとSPS HARQ-ACKの多重化の場合、上記2)が適用されてもよい。また、例えば、HARQ-ACKとCSIの多重の場合、上記1)が適用されてもよい。なお、スロットは、各キャリアのSCSに基づいて定義される。 Which of the above 1)-3) is applied may differ depending on the UCI type. For example, in the case of multiplexing dynamic HARQ-ACK and SPS HARQ-ACK, 2) above may be applied. Also, for example, in the case of multiplexing HARQ-ACK and CSI, 1) above may be applied. A slot is defined based on the SCS of each carrier.
 また、図5、図6、図7及び図8に示される動作において、以下1)-4)に示されるUCI多重化に係るルールが適用されてもよい。 Also, in the operations shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8, the rules related to UCI multiplexing shown in 1)-4) below may be applied.
1)2つのPUCCHが同一のキャリアに配置されている場合、多重化後のPUCCHは当該同一のキャリアに配置されてもよい。例えば、ダイナミックHARQ-ACK及びSPS HARQ-ACKが同一のキャリアCC#0にある場合、多重化後のPUCCHは、ダイナミックHARQ-ACKのPUCCHリソースであってもよい。 1) When two PUCCHs are mapped to the same carrier, the multiplexed PUCCH may be mapped to the same carrier. For example, if dynamic HARQ-ACK and SPS HARQ-ACK are on the same carrier CC#0, the PUCCH after multiplexing may be the PUCCH resource for dynamic HARQ-ACK.
2)2つのPUCCHが同一のキャリアに配置されている場合、多重化後のPUCCHは当該同一のキャリアに配置されてもよい。例えば、SPS HARQ-ACK及びCSIが同一のキャリアCC#0にある場合、多重化後のPUCCHは、CSIのPUCCHリソースであってもよい。 2) When two PUCCHs are mapped to the same carrier, the multiplexed PUCCH may be mapped to the same carrier. For example, when SPS HARQ-ACK and CSI are on the same carrier CC#0, the PUCCH after multiplexing may be the PUCCH resource of CSI.
3)2つのPUCCHが異なるキャリアに配置されている場合、多重化後のPUCCHは、選択されたUCIタイプと同じUCIタイプのPUCCHが配置されるキャリアに配置されてもよい。例えば、ダイナミックHARQ-ACKがCC#1、SPS HARQ-ACKがCC#2に配置されている場合、多重化後のPUCCHは、ダイナミックHARQ-ACK配置されるCC#1に配置されてもよい。 3) When two PUCCHs are mapped to different carriers, the multiplexed PUCCH may be mapped to a carrier on which PUCCHs of the same UCI type as the selected UCI type are mapped. For example, if dynamic HARQ-ACK is mapped to CC#1 and SPS HARQ-ACK is mapped to CC#2, PUCCH after multiplexing may be mapped to CC#1, which is mapped to dynamic HARQ-ACK.
4)2つのPUCCHが異なるキャリアに配置されている場合、多重化後のPUCCHは、選択されたUCIタイプと同じUCIタイプのPUCCHが配置されるキャリアに配置されてもよい。例えば、SPS HARQ-ACKがCC#2、CSIがCC#3に配置されている場合、多重化後のPUCCHは、SPS HARQ-ACKが配置されるCC#2に配置されてもよい。 4) When two PUCCHs are mapped to different carriers, the multiplexed PUCCH may be mapped to a carrier on which PUCCHs of the same UCI type as the selected UCI type are mapped. For example, if SPS HARQ-ACK is assigned to CC#2 and CSI is assigned to CC#3, PUCCH after multiplexing may be assigned to CC#2 to which SPS HARQ-ACK is assigned.
 また、図5、図6、図7及び図8に示される動作において、以下1)-3)に示されるようにダイナミック又はセミスタティックなPUCCHキャリアスイッチングがあるPUCCHに適用されてもよい。 Also, in the operations shown in FIGS. 5, 6, 7 and 8, dynamic or semi-static PUCCH carrier switching may be applied to PUCCH as shown in 1)-3) below.
1)対象PUCCHが多重化されていないPUCCH(UCIタイプが1つ)である場合、UCIタイプに基づいてPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用されてもよい。例えば、ダイナミックHARQ-ACKのPUCCHである場合、ダイナミックPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用されてもよい。例えばSPS HARQ-ACKのPUCCHである場合、当該SPS HARQ-ACKにセミスタティックPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用可能である場合、セミスタティックPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用されてもよい。例えば、CSIのPUCCHである場合、当該CSIにセミスタティックPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用可能でない場合、PUCCHキャリアスイッチングは当該CSIのPUCCHに適用されなくてもよい。 1) If the target PUCCH is a non-multiplexed PUCCH (one UCI type), PUCCH carrier switching may be applied based on the UCI type. For example, in the case of dynamic HARQ-ACK PUCCH, dynamic PUCCH carrier switching may be applied. For example, in the case of SPS HARQ-ACK PUCCH, if semi-static PUCCH carrier switching is applicable to the SPS HARQ-ACK, semi-static PUCCH carrier switching may be applied. For example, in the case of a PUCCH of CSI, PUCCH carrier switching may not be applied to the PUCCH of that CSI if semi-static PUCCH carrier switching is not applicable to that CSI.
2)対象PUCCHが多重化後のPUCCHである場合、多重化後のPUCCHリソースのUCIタイプに基づいてPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用されてもよい。例えば、ダイナミックHARQ-ACKとSPS HARQ-ACKを多重化後のPUCCHが、ダイナミックHARQ-ACKが設定されるPUCCHリソースで送信される場合、ダイナミックPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用されてもよい。例えば、SPS HARQ-ACKとCSIを多重化後のPUCCHが、CSIが設定されるPUCCHリソースで送信される場合、かつセミスタティックPUCCHキャリアスイッチングがSPS HARQ-ACKに適用可能である場合、PUCCHキャリアスイッチングは多重化後のPUCCHに適用されなくてもよい。 2) If the target PUCCH is the multiplexed PUCCH, PUCCH carrier switching may be applied based on the UCI type of the multiplexed PUCCH resource. For example, dynamic PUCCH carrier switching may be applied when PUCCH after multiplexing dynamic HARQ-ACK and SPS HARQ-ACK is transmitted on PUCCH resources configured with dynamic HARQ-ACK. For example, when PUCCH after multiplexing SPS HARQ-ACK and CSI is transmitted on PUCCH resources in which CSI is configured, and when semi-static PUCCH carrier switching is applicable to SPS HARQ-ACK, PUCCH carrier switching may not be applied to PUCCH after multiplexing.
3)対象PUCCHが多重化後のPUCCHである場合、多重化後のPUCCHに含まれるUCIタイプに基づいてPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用されてもよい。例えば、多重化後のPUCCHが、ダイナミックHARQ-ACKを含む場合、ダイナミックPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用されてもよい。例えば、多重化後のPUCCHが、ダイナミックHARQ-ACKを含まず、セミスタティックPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用可能なUCIタイプを含む場合、セミスタティックPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用されてもよい。多重化後のPUCCHがダイナミックHARQ-ACKを含む場合又はダイナミックHARQ-ACKを含まず、セミスタティックPUCCHキャリアスイッチングが適用可能なUCIタイプを含む場合以外の場合、PUCCHキャリアスイッチングは適用されなくてもよい。 3) If the target PUCCH is the multiplexed PUCCH, PUCCH carrier switching may be applied based on the UCI type included in the multiplexed PUCCH. For example, if the PUCCH after multiplexing contains dynamic HARQ-ACK, dynamic PUCCH carrier switching may be applied. Semi-static PUCCH carrier switching may be applied, for example, if the PUCCH after multiplexing does not include dynamic HARQ-ACK and includes UCI types for which semi-static PUCCH carrier switching is applicable. PUCCH carrier switching may not be applied unless multiplexed PUCCH includes dynamic HARQ-ACK or does not include dynamic HARQ-ACK and includes UCI types for which semi-static PUCCH carrier switching is applicable. .

 無線フレームは時間領域において1つ又は複数のフレームによって構成されてもよい。時間領域において1つ又は複数の各フレームはサブフレームと呼ばれてもよい。サブフレームは更に時間領域において1つ又は複数のスロットによって構成されてもよい。サブフレームは、ニューメロロジ(numerology)に依存しない固定の時間長(例えば、1ms)であってもよい。 A radio frame may consist of one or more frames in the time domain. Each frame or frames in the time domain may be referred to as a subframe. A subframe may also consist of one or more slots in the time domain. A subframe may be of a fixed length of time (eg, 1 ms) independent of numerology.
 ニューメロロジは、ある信号又はチャネルの送信及び受信の少なくとも一方に適用される通信パラメータであってもよい。ニューメロロジは、例えば、サブキャリア間隔(SCS:SubCarrier Spacing)、帯域幅、シンボル長、サイクリックプレフィックス長、送信時間間隔(TTI:Transmission Time Interval)、TTIあたりのシンボル数、無線フレーム構成、送受信機が周波数領域において行う特定のフィルタリング処理、送受信機が時間領域において行う特定のウィンドウイング処理などの少なくとも1つを示してもよい。 A numerology may be a communication parameter that applies to the transmission and/or reception of a signal or channel. Numerology, for example, subcarrier spacing (SCS), bandwidth, symbol length, cyclic prefix length, transmission time interval (TTI), number of symbols per TTI, radio frame configuration, transceiver It may indicate at least one of certain filtering operations performed in the frequency domain, certain windowing operations performed by the transceiver in the time domain, and/or the like.
 スロットは、時間領域において1つ又は複数のシンボル(OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)シンボル、SC-FDMA(Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access)シンボル等)で構成されてもよい。スロットは、ニューメロロジに基づく時間単位であってもよい。 A slot may consist of one or more symbols (OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol, SC-FDMA (Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access) symbol, etc.) in the time domain. A slot may be a unit of time based on numerology.
 スロットは、複数のミニスロットを含んでもよい。各ミニスロットは、時間領域において1つ又は複数のシンボルによって構成されてもよい。また、ミニスロットは、サブスロットと呼ばれてもよい。ミニスロットは、スロットよりも少ない数のシンボルによって構成されてもよい。ミニスロットより大きい時間単位で送信されるPDSCH(又はPUSCH)は、PDSCH(又はPUSCH)マッピングタイプAと呼ばれてもよい。ミニスロットを用いて送信されるPDSCH(又はPUSCH)は、PDSCH(又はPUSCH)マッピングタイプBと呼ばれてもよい。 A slot may contain multiple mini-slots. Each minislot may consist of one or more symbols in the time domain. A minislot may also be referred to as a subslot. A minislot may consist of fewer symbols than a slot. PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted in time units larger than minislots may be referred to as PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type A. PDSCH (or PUSCH) transmitted using minislots may be referred to as PDSCH (or PUSCH) mapping type B.
 無線フレーム、サブフレーム、スロット、ミニスロット及びシンボルは、いずれも信号を伝送する際の時間単位を表す。無線フレーム、サブフレーム、スロット、ミニスロット及びシンボルは、それぞれに対応する別の呼称が用いられてもよい。 Radio frames, subframes, slots, minislots and symbols all represent time units when transmitting signals. Radio frames, subframes, slots, minislots and symbols may be referred to by other corresponding designations.
 例えば、1サブフレームは送信時間間隔(TTI:Transmission Time Interval)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 a Transmission Time Interval (TTI), a plurality of consecutive subframes may be called a TTI, and one slot or one minislot may be called a TTI. may 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 may be Note that the unit representing the TTI may be called a slot, 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、基地局が各端末20に対して、無線リソース(各端末20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 scheduling time unit in wireless communication. For example, in the LTE system, the base station performs scheduling to allocate radio resources (frequency bandwidth, transmission power, etc. that can be used by each terminal 20) to each terminal 20 on a TTI basis. Note that 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。 A TTI may be a transmission time unit such as a channel-encoded data packet (transport block), code block, or codeword, or may be a processing unit such as scheduling and link adaptation. Note that when a TTI is given, the time interval (for example, the number of symbols) in which transport blocks, code blocks, codewords, 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 minislot is called a TTI, one or more TTIs (that is, one or more slots or one or more minislots) may be the minimum scheduling time unit. Also, the number of slots (the 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(LTE 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 called a normal TTI (TTI in LTE Rel. 8-12), normal TTI, long TTI, normal subframe, normal subframe, long subframe, slot, or the like. A TTI that is shorter than a normal TTI may be called a shortened TTI, a short TTI, a partial or fractional TTI, a shortened subframe, a short subframe, a minislot, a subslot, a slot, and 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。 Note that the long TTI (e.g., normal TTI, subframe, etc.) may be replaced with a TTI having a time length exceeding 1 ms, and the short TTI (e.g., shortened TTI, etc.) is less than the TTI length of the long TTI and 1 ms A TTI having the above TTI length may be read instead.
 リソースブロック(RB)は、時間領域及び周波数領域のリソース割当単位であり、周波数領域において、1つ又は複数個の連続した副搬送波(subcarrier)を含んでもよい。RBに含まれるサブキャリアの数は、ニューメロロジに関わらず同じであってもよく、例えば12であってもよい。RBに含まれるサブキャリアの数は、ニューメロロジに基づいて決定されてもよい。 A resource block (RB) is a resource allocation unit in the time domain and the frequency domain, and may include one or more consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain. The number of subcarriers included in the RB may be the same regardless of the numerology, and may be 12, for example. The number of subcarriers included in an RB may be determined based on numerology.
 また、RBの時間領域は、1つ又は複数個のシンボルを含んでもよく、1スロット、1ミニスロット、1サブフレーム、又は1TTIの長さであってもよい。1TTI、1サブフレームなどは、それぞれ1つ又は複数のリソースブロックで構成されてもよい。 Also, the time domain of an RB may include one or more symbols and may be 1 slot, 1 minislot, 1 subframe, or 1 TTI long. One TTI, one subframe, etc. may each consist of one or more resource blocks.
 なお、1つ又は複数のRBは、物理リソースブロック(PRB:Physical RB)、サブキャリアグループ(SCG:Sub-Carrier Group)、リソースエレメントグループ(REG:Resource Element Group)、PRBペア、RBペアなどと呼ばれてもよい。 One or more RBs are physical resource blocks (PRBs), sub-carrier groups (SCGs), resource element groups (REGs), PRB pairs, RB pairs, etc. may be called.
 また、リソースブロックは、1つ又は複数のリソースエレメント(RE:Resource Element)によって構成されてもよい。例えば、1REは、1サブキャリア及び1シンボルの無線リソース領域であってもよい。 Also, a resource block may be composed of one or more resource elements (RE: Resource Element). For example, 1 RE may be a radio resource region of 1 subcarrier and 1 symbol.
 帯域幅部分(BWP:Bandwidth Part)(部分帯域幅などと呼ばれてもよい)は、あるキャリアにおいて、あるニューメロロジ用の連続する共通RB(common resource blocks)のサブセットのことを表してもよい。ここで、共通RBは、当該キャリアの共通参照ポイントを基準としたRBのインデックスによって特定されてもよい。PRBは、あるBWPで定義され、当該BWP内で番号付けされてもよい。 A bandwidth part (BWP) (which may also be called a bandwidth part) may represent a subset of contiguous common resource blocks (RBs) for a certain numerology on a certain carrier. Here, the common RB may be identified by an RB index based on the common reference point of the carrier. PRBs may be defined in a BWP and numbered within that BWP.
 BWPには、UL用のBWP(UL BWP)と、DL用のBWP(DL BWP)とが含まれてもよい。端末20に対して、1キャリア内に1つ又は複数のBWPが設定されてもよい。 The BWP may include a BWP for UL (UL BWP) and a BWP for DL (DL BWP). One or more BWPs may be configured for terminal 20 within one carrier.
 設定されたBWPの少なくとも1つがアクティブであってもよく、端末20は、アクティブなBWPの外で所定の信号/チャネルを送受信することを想定しなくてもよい。なお、本開示における「セル」、「キャリア」などは、「BWP」で読み替えられてもよい。 At least one of the configured BWPs may be active, and the terminal 20 may not expect to transmit or receive a given signal/channel outside the active BWP. Note that "cell", "carrier", etc. in the present disclosure may be read as "BWP".
 上述した無線フレーム、サブフレーム、スロット、ミニスロット及びシンボルなどの構造は例示に過ぎない。例えば、無線フレームに含まれるサブフレームの数、サブフレーム又は無線フレームあたりのスロットの数、スロット内に含まれるミニスロットの数、スロット又はミニスロットに含まれるシンボル及びRBの数、RBに含まれるサブキャリアの数、並びにTTI内のシンボル数、シンボル長、サイクリックプレフィックス(CP:Cyclic Prefix)長などの構成は、様々に変更することができる。 The structures such as radio frames, subframes, slots, minislots and symbols described above are only examples. For example, the number of subframes contained in a radio frame, the number of slots per subframe or radio frame, the number of minislots contained within a slot, the number of symbols and RBs contained in a slot or minislot, the number of Configurations such as the number of subcarriers, the number of symbols in a TTI, the symbol length, the cyclic prefix (CP) length, etc. can be varied.
