Method and apparatus for transmitting aperiodic channel state information in wireless communication system
The present invention provides a method of user equipment transmitting aperiodic channel state information and user equipment using the method. The method includes receiving a channel state information request for a plurality of reference signals, receiving the plurality of reference signals, generating channel state information on each of the plurality of reference signals in response to the channel state information request, and transmitting the channel state information through a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), wherein the channel state information request is included in only some of subframes in which the plurality of reference signals is received.
1. A method of User Equipment (UE) transmitting aperiodic channel state information, the method comprising:
receiving a channel state information (CSI) request field;
generating channel state information if the CSI request field is set to trigger a CSI report; and
transmitting the channel state information through a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH),
wherein a value of the CSI request field comprises a first value which triggers an aperiodic CSI report for a first set of reference signals and a second value which triggers an aperiodic CSI report for a second set of reference signals, and
wherein the first set and the second set of reference signals are configured by a higher layer signal.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI request field is included in Downlink Control Information (DCI) on which the PUSCH is scheduled.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of reference signals is placed in a plurality of downlink subframes.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving reference signal configuration information for the plurality of reference signals.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the channel state information is generated by measuring the plurality of reference signals.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI request field comprises 2 bits.
7. User Equipment (UE), comprising:
a Radio Frequency (RF) unit configured to transmit and receive radio signals; and
a processor coupled to the RF unit, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive a channel state information (CSI) request field;
generate channel state information if the CSI request field is set to trigger a CSI report; and
transmit the channel state information through a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH),
wherein a value of the CSI request field comprises a first value which triggers an aperiodic CSI report for a first set of reference signals and a second value which triggers an aperiodic CSI report for a second set of reference signals, and
where the first set and the second set of reference signals are configured by a higher layer signal.
8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the CSI request field is included in Downlink Control Information (DCI) on which the PUSCH is scheduled.
9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of reference signals is placed in a plurality of downlink subframes.
10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
receives reference signal configuration information for the plurality of reference signals.
11. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the channel state information is generated by measuring the plurality of reference signals.
12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the CSI request field comprises 2 bits.
