Abstract:
A transmitting apparatus for modulating data based on a predetermined 2q-QAM constellation and a receiving apparatus and method for demodulating a signal based on the predetermined 2q-QAM constellation, wherein the last q-2 bits corresponding to a quadrant of the predetermined 2q-QAM constellation are same with a gray code of a 2q-2-QAM constellation, the last q-2 bits corresponding to the remaining quadrants of the predetermined 2q-QAM constellation are determined by performing symmetric transformation for the last q-2 bits of the quadrant of the predetermined 2q-QAM around the x-axis or the y-axis.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for scheduling a beam in a mobile communication system are provided. A terminal receives signals through a plurality of switching beam directions, and receives a plurality of beams that are transmitted while performing beam switching in a transmission time interval (TTI) unit by a base station. The terminal selects a signal having largest intensity among received signals, and transmits an uplink scheduling request signal in a beam direction corresponding to the selected signal.

Disclosed are radio bearer management method and apparatus for multi-radio multi-connectivity. A method of a terminal may comprise: transmitting UP data to at least one node among an MN or SN through a first DRB; and in response to identifying a UL coverage loss in the second SN, determining switching from the first DRB to a second DRB based on a bearer switching rule.
Abstract:
A method of user equipment may comprise: determining whether an error condition for a first beam communicating with a base station is met; when it is determined that the error condition for the first beam is met, determining whether a first physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) allocated to the user equipment is present within a predetermined first period of time; when it is determined that the first PUCCH is not present, transmitting a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission approval request and an identifier of the user equipment to the base station through a second PUCCH pre-configured to be shared by all pieces of user equipment; and when an SRS transmission approval is received from the base station, transmitting an SRS to the base station.
Abstract:
A method of a base station may comprise: detecting a beam failure for a terminal; in response to detecting the beam failure, transmitting a beam recovery early indicator (BREI) to the terminal based on a beam sweeping scheme; receiving a BREI response from the terminal; and identifying a preferred beam of the terminal based on reception of the BREI response.
Abstract:
A method of a first user equipment (UE) may comprise: receiving a downlink (DL) reference signal transmitted by a base station using a beam included in a beam candidate group to be used for sidelink (SL) communication with a second UE; measuring a DL reference signal received power (RSRP) of the DL reference signal; determining a transmit power of a beam included in the beam candidate group based on the measured DL RSRP; and transmitting SL data to the second UE with the determined transmit power.
Abstract:
A method of a first terminal may include: identifying first RB set(s) to be used for SL communication among consecutive RB sets through an LBT procedure; identifying a first subchannel group included in the first RB set(s) and a second subchannel group including a first PRB in the first RB set(s), the first PRB being not included in the first subchannel group; configuring the first PRB within the second subchannel group as an SL communication resource; and transmitting, to a second terminal, control information indicating that the first PRB is configured as the SL communication resource.
Abstract:
A method of a transmitting terminal may include: determining a beam candidate set including two or more beams usable for sidelink communication with a receiving terminal from among a plurality of beams that can be beam-formed; determining a resource set for each beam within the beam candidate set through resource sensing, such that the resource set has candidate resources equal to or greater than a predetermined number of candidate resources; selecting a beam and a resource to be used for sidelink communication with the receiving terminal based on the beam candidate set and the resource set; and transmitting sidelink data to the receiving terminal using the selected beam and the selected resource.
