Terminal device, base station device, and communication method
There are provided terminal devices ( 1 A to 1 C) capable of efficiently performing communication in a communication system in which a base station device ( 3 ) and the terminal devices ( 1 A to 1 C) communicate with each other. The terminal devices ( 1 A to 1 C) that communicate with the base station device ( 3 ) include a reception unit that receives notification of a cell state of the base station device ( 3 ), a channel state information generation unit that generates channel state information based on channel measurement acquired based on a channel state information reference signal and interference measurement acquired based on a channel state information interference measurement resource, and a transmission unit that transmits the channel state information. The channel state information generation unit performs the channel measurement or the interference measurement based on a subframe in consideration of the cell state.
1. A terminal device, comprising:
circuitry and an associated memory, the circuitry:
performing channel measurement to compute a channel quality indicator (CQI) value based on channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS); and
performing interference measurement to compute the CQI value based on a channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource, the CSI-IM resource being associated with a CSI process; and
a transmitter that at least reports the CQI value; wherein
for a serving cell, in which a presence of a downlink signal is indicated by first downlink control information carried in a physical downlink control channel, and for the channel measurement, the circuitry averages the channel measurement between a first subframe and a second subframe;
for the serving cell, and for the interference measurement, the circuitry performs the interference measurement in one or more subframes, in which the presence is indicated by the first downlink control information; and
the first downlink control information is different from second downlink control information for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel.
2. The terminal device according to claim 1 , wherein
cell-specific reference signals are transmitted in the one or more subframes.
3. A communication method for a terminal device, the method comprising:
performing channel measurement to compute a channel quality indicator (CQI) value based on channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS); and
performing interference measurement to compute the CQI value based on a channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource, the CSI-IM resource being associated with a CSI process; and
reporting the CQI value; wherein
for a serving cell, in which a presence of a downlink signal is indicated by first downlink control information carried in a physical downlink control channel, and for the channel measurement, the channel measurement between a first subframe and a second subframe is averaged;
for the serving cell, and for the interference measurement, the interference measurement is performed in one or more subframes, in which the presence is indicated by the first downlink control information; and
the first downlink control information is different from second downlink control information for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel.
4. The communication method according to claim 3 , wherein
cell-specific reference signals are transmitted in the one or more subframes.
