Method 2.2-9: When Method 2.2-8 is applied, the length of the OCC given to a terminal may correspond to the number of PUSCH instances (e.g., actual PUSCH instances) in a PUSCH occasion.
The coded symbols of the OCC may be applied to DM-RS symbols belonging to the actual PUSCH instance. When two actual PUSCH instances are configured, the length of the OCC may be m. In this case, a plurality of DM-RS symbols may belong to the j-th actual PUSCH instance. The j-th coded symbol of the OCC (j=1, 2, . . . , m) may be commonly multiplied.
Referring to
Method 2.2-9: When a PUCCH occasion is transmitted, the number of actual PUSCH instances may be an arbitrary natural number. When an OCC is generated by a Walsh code, it may be convenient for the length of the OCC to be defined as a power of two. Therefore, it may be preferable that the length of the OCC has a specific structure rather than an arbitrary natural number.
Method 2.2-10: When Method 2.2-8 is applied, the length of an OCC given to a terminal may correspond to the number of slots required for transmission of a PUSCH occasion.
