Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method including receiving indication information related to a PUCCH resource set of a specific PUCCH format through system information, the PUCCH resource set comprising a first RB offset, receiving a PDCCH including a resource indicator RI through CCE, and transmitting the control information on the PUCCH, wherein an RB index of the PUCCH is determined based on the first RB offset and a second RB offset related to a first bit value of the RI, and wherein a CS index of the PUCCH is determined based on a combination of [a second bit value of the RI, a 1-bit value based on a starting CCE index of the PDCCH (hereinafter, a CCE-based 1-bit value)] in a CS index set, and an apparatus therefor.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A method performed by a device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
 receiving system information including a value for indicating one of common physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource sets, wherein the indicated common PUCCH resource set is associated with a resource block (RB) offset;   receiving downlink control information (DCI) comprising a resource indicator (RI) related to a PUCCH signal; and   transmitting the PUCCH signal using a frequency hopping (FH) from a first RB to a second RB,   wherein the first RB is located K RBs from a first edge of an uplink bandwidth part and the second RB is located K RBs from a second edge of the uplink bandwidth part, and   wherein, based on no dedicated PUCCH resource being configured, K is a first integer determined based on the RB offset, and a FH direction of the PUCCH signal is determined as one of two FH directions based on a value of the RI.   
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein, based on no dedicated PUCCH resource being configured, a cyclic shift (CS) index of the PUCCH signal is determined based on the value of the RI and a control channel element (CCE) index related to the DCI. 
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 2 , wherein, based on no dedicated PUCCH resource being configured, the value of the RI is used to indicate one of two CS index groups, and the CCE index is used to indicate one of two CS indexes in the indicated CS index group. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 2 , wherein, based on no dedicated PUCCH resource being configured, K is determined further based on a second integer related to the value of the RI.

         wherein b 2  denotes the first 1-bit value of the RI, b 1  denotes the second 1-bit value of the RI, and b 0  denotes the third 1-bit value of the RI, and a relationship between b 2  to b 0  and the first to third 1-bit values of the RI is changeable. 
       
     
     
       33. The method of claim 21, wherein the DCI further includes a downlink assignment indicator field, and
 wherein, based on no dedicated PUCCH resource being configured, the downlink assignment indicator field is used for providing information regarding multi-slot transmission for the PUCCH signal.   
     
     
       34. The device of claim 24, wherein the DCI further includes a downlink assignment indicator field, and
 wherein, based on no dedicated PUCCH resource being configured, the downlink assignment indicator field is used for providing information regarding multi-slot transmission for the PUCCH signal.   
     
     
       35. The method of claim 27, wherein the DCI further includes a downlink assignment indicator field, and
 wherein, based on no dedicated PUCCH resource being configured, the downlink assignment indicator field is used for providing information regarding multi-slot transmission for the PUCCH signal.   
     
     
       36. The device of claim 30, wherein the DCI further includes a downlink assignment indicator field, and
 wherein, based on no dedicated PUCCH resource being configured, the downlink assignment indicator field is used for providing information regarding multi-slot transmission for the PUCCH signal.
