Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G communication system such as LTE. A method for transmitting information in a wireless communication system, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, includes a CQI table configuration method, an MCS table configuration method, and an LBRM, PT-RS, and processing time determination method related thereto. A method by which a user equipment (UE) receives a phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) in a wireless communication system, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, comprises the step of confirming whether both a first parameter related to the time density of a PT-RS and a second parameter related to the frequency density of the PT-RS are set by the UE through upper layer signaling.
