Abstract

A method of transmitting control information in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes configuring downlink control information including a plurality of information fields according to a format of scheduling for transmission of a single codeword in a spatial multiplexing mode, wherein the plurality of information fields include a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) confirmation filed for indicating whether precoding is performed on downlink data by using a PMI reported by a user equipment and a transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) information field for indicating a codebook index, and at least one of the PMI confirmation field and the TPMI information field indicates an offset value of power for the downlink data transmission or interference information for the downlink data transmission, and transmitting the downlink control information.

Claims (19)

1. A method of transmitting control information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

configuring, by a base station, downlink control information (DCI) comprising a plurality of information fields, wherein the plurality of information fields comprise a transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) information field for indicating a codebook index, a downlink power offset of power for downlink data transmission, and a virtual resource block (VRB) assignment flag field for identifying whether a resource block is assigned in a consecutive manner or a distributed manner,

wherein the downlink power offset of power for downlink data transmission is 1bit information, which is set to a first offset value indicating ‘0 (dB)’ or a second offset value indicating ‘−10log 10 2 (dB)’,

wherein the downlink power offset replaces a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) confirmation field for indicating whether precoding is performed on downlink data by using a PMI reported by a user equipment; and

transmitting, by the base station, the downlink control information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the TPMI information field indicates a codebook of a subset consisting of a part of a codebook used in the downlink data transmission.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control information is transmitted through a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) information field is immediately followed by the information field for the downlink power offset.

5. A transmitter in a wireless communication system, the transmitter comprising:

a processor configured to:

configure downlink control information (DCI) comprising a plurality of information fields, wherein the plurality of information fields comprise a transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) information field for indicating a codebook index, a downlink power offset of power for downlink data transmission, and a virtual resource block (VRB) assignment flag field for identifying whether a resource block is assigned in a consecutive manner or a distributed manner,

wherein the downlink power offset of power for downlink data transmission is 1bit information, which is set to a first offset value indicating ‘0 (dB)’ or a second offset value indicating ‘−10log 10 2 (dB)’,

wherein the downlink power offset replaces a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) confirmation field for indicating whether precoding is performed on downlink data by using a PMI reported by a user equipment; and

a radio frequency unit coupled to the processor and configured to transmit the DCI to a receiver in the wireless communication system.

6. A receiver in a wireless communication system, the receiver comprising:

a radio frequency unit configured to receive downlink control information (DCI) comprising a plurality of information fields, wherein the plurality of information fields comprise a transmitted precoding matrix indicator (TPMI) information field for indicating a codebook index, a downlink power offset of power for downlink data transmission, and a virtual resource block (VRB) assignment flag field for identifying whether a resource block is assigned in a consecutive manner or a distributed manner,

wherein the downlink power offset of power for downlink data transmission is 1bit information, which is set to a first offset value indicating ‘0 (dB)’ or a second offset value indicating ‘−10log 10 2 (dB)’,

wherein the downlink power offset replaces a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) confirmation field for indicating whether precoding is performed on downlink data by using a PMI reported by a user equipment; and

a processor coupled to the radio frequency unit and configured to operate based on the received DCI.
