Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a user equipment, a base station and respective methods. The user equipment (UE) receives a single uplink grant for a plurality of PUSCH transmissions. The single uplink grant comprises an antenna port field with an index value that is to be used for the plurality of PUSCH transmissions. The UE determines time-domain resources based on the received uplink grant. The determined time-domain resources prescribe a number of PUSCH transmissions and a length of each of the number of PUSCH transmissions. The UE transmits the number of PUSCH transmissions using the determined time-domain resources. Each of the number of PUSCH transmissions comprises at least one front-loaded demodulation reference signal, DMRS. In particular, the UE determines a number of symbols to be used for each of the at least one front-loaded DMRS of the number of PUSCH transmissions based on the received index value, and, in case at least two of the number of PUSCH transmissions have different lengths, and in case different numbers of symbols are permissible for each of the at least one front-loaded DMRS, the UE transmits the same or a smaller number of PUSCH transmissions such that, for none of the comprised at least one front-loaded DMRS, a different determined numbers of symbols is used.
