Method and apparatus for channel status information feedback in mobile communication system
A communication method and a system for converging a 5th-generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-generation (4G) system with a technology for internet of things (IoT) are provided. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method and an apparatus for transmitting cell status information (CSI) in a mobile communication system are provided. The method includes receiving configuration information for a plurality of channel status information reference signals (CSI-RSs), generating feedback information by measuring at least one of the CSI-RSs based on priority information, and transmitting the feedback information. The priority information is associated with a non-precoded CSI-RS, a cell-specific beamformed CSI-RS and a user equipment (UE)-specific beamformed CSI-RS.
1. A method of transmitting cell status information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
receiving configuration information for a plurality of channel status information reference signals (CSI-RSs);
generating feedback information by measuring at least one of the CSI-RSs based on priority information; and
transmitting the feedback information,
wherein the priority information is associated with a non-precoded CSI-RS, a cell-specific beamformed CSI-RS and a UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS, and
wherein the configuration information includes resource configuration information and feedback configuration information for at least one of the non-precoded CSI-RS, the cell-specific beamformed CSI-RS and the UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating of the feedback information comprises:
identifying whether at least two of a first resource for first feedback information on the non-precoded CSI-RS, a second resource for second feedback information on the cell-specific beamformed CSI-RS, and a third resource for third feedback information on the UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS overlap based on the feedback configuration information.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the UE gives priority to the feedback information based on a CSI reporting type and drops the feedback information having a lower priority.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein feedback information for the non-precoded CSI-RS and the cell-specific beamformed CSI-RS having higher priority is generated and feedback information for the UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS having lower priority is not generated.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-precoded CSI-RS and the cell-specific beamformed CSI-RS have higher priority than the UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS based on the priority information.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback information comprises at least one of a rank indicator (RI), a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a channel quality indicator (CQI) and a CSI-RS resource index (CRI).
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the priority information is further associated with at least one of a cell identifier (ID) and a CSI process ID.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving the priority information by a radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
9. At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium for storing a computer program of instructions configured to be readable by at least one processor for instructing the at least one processor to execute a computer process for performing functions of method of claim 1 .
10. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting cell status information (CSI) in a mobile communication system, the UE comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and
at least one processor configured to:
receive configuration information for a plurality of channel status information reference signals (CSI-RSs),
generate feedback information by measuring at least one of the CSI-RSs based on priority information, and
transmit the feedback information,
wherein the priority information is associated with a non-precoded CSI-RS, a cell-specific beamformed CSI-RS and a UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS, and
wherein the configuration information includes resource configuration information and feedback configuration information for at least one of the non-precoded CSI-RS, the cell-specific beamformed CSI-RS and the UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS.
11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
identify whether at least two of a first resource for first feedback information on the non-precoded CSI-RS, a second resource for second feedback information on the cell-specific beamformed CSI-RS and a third resource for third feedback information on the UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS overlap based on the feedback configuration information.
12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein the UE gives priority to the feedback information based on a CSI reporting type and drops the feedback information having a lower priority.
13. The UE of claim 11 , wherein feedback information for the non-precoded CSI-RS and the cell-specific beamformed CSI-RS having higher priority is generated and feedback information for the UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS having lower priority is not generated.
14. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the non-precoded CSI-RS and the cell-specific beamformed CSI-RS have higher priority than the UE-specific beamformed CSI-RS based on the priority information.
15. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the feedback information comprises at least one of a rank indicator (RI), a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a channel quality indicator (CQI) and a CSI-RS resource index (CRI).
16. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the priority information is further associated with at least one of a cell identifier (ID) and a CSI process ID.
17. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
receive the priority information by a radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
