First, in regard to an antenna port, the antenna port is defined so that a channel over which a symbol on an antenna port is conveyed can be inferred from a channel over which another symbol on the same antenna port is conveyed. When large-scale properties of a channel over which a symbol on one antenna port is conveyed can be inferred from a channel over which a symbol on another antenna port is conveyed, the two antenna ports may be regarded as being in a quasi co-located or quasi co-location (QC/QCL) relation. Here, the large-scale properties may include at least one of delay spread, Doppler spread, frequency shift, average received power, and received timing.
Referring to
In the NR system, a transmitted signal is described by one or more resource grids, consisting of NRBμNscRB subcarriers, and 2μNsymb(μ) OFDM symbols, where NRBμ≤NRBmax,μ. NRBmax,μ denotes a maximum transmission bandwidth and may change not only between numerologies but also between uplink and downlink.
In this case, as illustrated in
