Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. A method for a terminal for removing interference and receiving a signal in a wireless communication system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: receiving configuration information for channel status information which has utilized interference measurements; and on the basis of the configuration information, measuring the interference from an interfering cell, and on the basis of the measured interference, measuring the channel status information from an interference measurement resource (IMR), wherein interference can be measured, in a resource block in which an IMR exists, on the basis of whether the interfering cell is transmitting data and the type of the signal transmitted from the IMR.

Claims (63)

1. A method of cancelling interference from a signal and receiving the signal by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method performed by the user equipment comprising:

receiving configuration information on channel state information;

performing an interference measurement from an interfering cell based on the configuration information; and

measuring the channel state information at an IMR (Interference Measurement Resource) based on measured interference,

wherein the interference measurement is performed based on whether or not data is transmitted from the interfering cell in a resource block at which the IMR exists and a type of a signal transmitted at the IMR.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein if the data is transmitted from the interfering cell in the resource block at which the IMR exists and the type of the signal transmitted at the IMR corresponds to the data, the measuring the channel state information comprising:

detecting and regenerating an interference signal of the interfering cell at the IMR;

removing the regenerated interference signal at the IMR; and

measuring the channel state information based on interference power at the IMR.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein if data is not transmitted from the interfering cell in the resource block at which the IMR exists and no signal is transmitted at the IMR, the measuring the channel state information comprising:

adding a random interference signal to the signal received at the IMR; and

measuring the channel state information based on interference power which is measured at the IMR.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein if data is transmitted from the interfering cell in the resource block at which the IMR exists and a signal transmitted at the IMR corresponds to a CSI-RS (Channel-State Information-Reference Signal), the measuring the channel state information comprising:

detecting and regenerating the CSI-RS of the interfering cell at the IMR;

removing the regenerated CSI-RS at the IMR; and

measuring the channel state information based on interference power which is measured at the IMR.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein if data is transmitted from the interfering cell in the resource block at which the IMR exists and a signal transmitted at the IMR corresponds to a CSI-RS (Channel-State Information-Reference Signal), interference power measurement is not performed at the IMR.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein if data is not transmitted from the interfering cell in the resource block at which the IMR exists and no signal is transmitted at the IMR, the measuring the channel state information comprising:

performing interference power measurement at the IMR; and

measuring the channel state information at the IMR.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein if data is not transmitted from the interfering cell in the resource block at which the IMR exists and a signal transmitted at the IMR corresponds to a CSI-RS (Channel-State Information-Reference Signal), the measuring the channel state information comprising:

detecting and regenerating the CSI-RS of the interfering cell at the IMR;

removing the regenerated CSI-RA at the IMR; and

measuring the channel state information based on interference power which is measured at the IMR.

8. A user equipment for cancelling interference from a signal and receiving the signal in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a RF (Radio Frequency) unit; and

a processor,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive configuration information on channel state information,

perform an interference measurement from an interfering cell based on the configuration information, and

measure the channel state information at an IMR (Interference Measurement Resource) based on measured interference,

wherein the interference measurement is performed based on whether or not data is transmitted from the interfering cell in a resource block at which the IMR exists and a type of signal transmitted at the IMR.

9. The user equipment of claim 8 ,

wherein if data is transmitted from the interfering cell in the resource block at which the IMR exists and a type of a signal transmitted at the IMR corresponds to the data, the processor is further configured to:

detect and regenerate an interference signal of the interfering cell at the IMR,

remove the regenerated interference signal at the IMR, and

measure the channel state information based on interference power at the IMR.

10. The user equipment of claim 8 ,

wherein if data is not transmitted from the interfering cell in the resource block at which the IMR exists and no signal is transmitted at the IMR, the processor is further configured to:

add a random interference signal to the signal received at the IMR, and

measure the channel state information based on interference power which is measured at the IMR.

11. The user equipment of claim 8 ,
