Method for reporting channel state information in a wireless communication system, and apparatus therefor
The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for reporting channel state information, wherein the method comprises the following steps: receiving configuration information for periodically reporting channel state information; and periodically reporting the channel state information for a each of a plurality of periods based on the configuration information, wherein the channel state information is repeated so as to have a predetermined pattern based on periods, of which a second period is longer than a first period. The second period has a first value in a single transmission point operation mode. The second period has a sum of the first value and a second value which is proportional to the number of coordinated transmission points involved in a coordinated multi-point transmission operation in a coordinated multi-point transmission operation mode.
1. A method for reporting channel state information at a UE in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving configuration information for periodically reporting channel state information; and
periodically reporting first channel state information related to a coordinated multi-point at a first period and second channel state information related to a serving-point at a second period based on the configuration information,
wherein the second period is longer than the first period,
wherein the second period is set to a first value in a single point transmission mode,
wherein the second period is set to a sum of the first value and a second value in a coordinated multi-point transmission mode, and
wherein the second value is proportional to the number of coordinating transmission points involved in the coordinated multi-point transmission.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first period of the first channel state information corresponds to the second value in the second period.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the first channel state information includes channel state information about coordinated transmission points.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first channel state information includes only a wideband PMI for a coordinated transmission point.
5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the first channel state information includes a CQI calculated on the assumption of a CoMP-CB (coordinated multi-point coordinated beamforming) operation.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the coordinated multi-point transmission includes a CoMP (coordinated multi point) operation.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first and the second channel state information is transmitted through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).
8. A UE configured to transmit channel state information in a wireless communication system, comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) module; and
a processor configured to control the RF module,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
control the RF module to receive configuration information for periodically reporting channel state information, and
control the RF module to periodically report first channel state information at a first period and second channel state information related to a serving-point at a second period based on the configuration information,
wherein the second period is longer than the first period,
wherein the second period is set to a first value in a single point transmission mode,
wherein the second period is set to a sum of the first value and a second value in a coordinated multi-point transmission mode, and
wherein the second value is proportional to the number of coordinating transmission points involved in the coordinated multi-point transmission.
9. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the first period of the first channel state information corresponds to the second value in the second period.
10. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein the first channel state information includes channel state information about coordinated transmission points.
11. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the first channel state information includes only a wideband PMI for a coordinated transmission point.
12. The UE according to claim 10 , wherein the first channel state information includes a CQI calculated on the assumption of a CoMP-CB (coordinated multi-point coordinated beamforming) operation.
13. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the coordinated multi-point transmission includes a CoMP (coordinated multi point) operation.
14. The UE according to claim 8 , wherein the first and the second channel state information is transmitted through a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).
