Abstract

A method is provided for reporting Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless access system which supports carrier aggregation. A user equipment (UE) measures a first type CSI for a first component carrier (CC) of two or more downlink (DL) CCs, and measures a second type CSI for a second CC of the two or more DL CCs. The UE reports the first type CSI only, when a collision of a report of the first type CSI with a report of the second CSI type occurs in a same subframe. The first type CSI includes (1) only a Wideband Channel Quality Indicator (WB-CQI), (2) the WB-CQI and a first Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) or (3) the WB-CQI and a second PMI. The second type CSI includes (1) only a SubBand (SB) CQI or (2) the SB-CQI and a SB second PMI.

Claims (28)

1. A method for reporting Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless access system which supports carrier aggregation, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:

measuring a first type CSI for a first component carrier (CC) of two or more downlink (DL) CCs;

measuring a second type CSI for a second CC of the two or more DL CCs; and

reporting the first type CSI only, when a collision of a report of the first type CSI with a report of the second CSI type occurs in a same subframe,

wherein the first type CSI includes (1) only a Wideband Channel Quality Indicator (WB-CQI), (2) the WB-CQI and a first Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) or (3) the WB-CQI and a second PMI, and

wherein the second type CSI includes (1) only a SubBand (SB) CQI or (2) the SB-CQI and the second PMI.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first type CSI has a higher priority than the second type CSI, and the second type CSI is dropped.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information related to CSI reporting modes for the two or more DL CCs,

wherein the measurements of the first type CSI and the second type CSI are performed based on the CSI reporting modes.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reporting the first type CSI is periodically performed according to each content of the first type CSI.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first type CSI is reported through a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

6. A user equipment (UE) for reporting Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless access system which supports carrier aggregation, the UE comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

a processor configured to control the transmitter and the receiver for reporting the CSI,

wherein the processor is configured to:

measure a first type CSI for a first component carrier (CC) of two or more downlink (DL) CCs;

measure a second type CSI for a second CC of the two or more DL CCs; and

report the first type CSI only thought the transmitter, when a collision of a report of the first type CSI with a report of the second CSI type occurs in a same subframe,

wherein the first type CSI includes (1) only a Wideband Channel Quality Indicator (WB-CQI), (2) the WB-CQI and a first Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), or (3) the WB-CQI and a second PMI, and

wherein the second type CSI includes (1) only a SubBand (SB) CQI or (2) the SB-CQI and the second PMI.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the first type CSI has a higher priority than the second type CSI, and the second type CSI is dropped.

8. The UE according to claim 6 , where the processor is further configured to:

receive information related to CSI reporting modes for the two or more DL CCs through the receiver,

wherein the measurements of the first type CSI and the second type CSI are performed based on the CSI reporting modes.

9. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the reporting the first type CSI is periodically performed according to each content of the first type CSI.

10. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the first type CSI is reported through a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).
