In a further aspect of the present disclosure, a communication apparatus (base station) configured to transmit and receive a signal in a wireless communication system is provided. The communication apparatus may include: at least one transceiver; at least one processor; and at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations including: transmitting DCI scheduling a single PUSCH or multiple PUSCHs to be transmitted on a serving cell; and receiving the single PUSCH or the multiple PUSCHs on the serving cell based on the DCI. A payload size of the DCI may be determined based on a larger of a number of information bits for scheduling the single PUSCH and a number of information bits for scheduling the multiple PUSCHs.
In the methods and apparatuses, the payload size of the DCI may be determined based on the larger of the number of information bits for scheduling the single PUSCH and the number of information bits for scheduling the multiple PUSCHs, by adding zero padding to a smaller of the number of information bits for scheduling the single PUSCH and the number of information bits for scheduling the multiple PUSCHs.
In the methods and apparatuses, the DCI may include a codeblock group transmission information (CBGTI) field based on the scheduling of the single PUSCH, and the DCI may include no CBGTI field based on the scheduling of the multiple PUSCHs.
In the methods and apparatuses, the DCI may include an uplink shared channel (UL-SCH) indicator field based on the scheduling of the single PUSCH, and the DCI may include no UL-SCH indicator field based on the scheduling of the multiple PUSCHs.
