Abstract

A method by which a terminal reports an aperiodic channel state in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving an aperiodic channel state information (CSI) report request from a base station; and calculating the aperiodic CSI with respect to a CSI to be measured, which is indicated by the aperiodic CSI report request so as to transmit the calculated aperiodic CSI to the base station, wherein the aperiodic CSI report request indicates a report for one of a plurality of aperiodic CSI report sets, and the number of individual CSI reports included in each of the plurality of aperiodic CSI report sets can be independently set according to each aperiodic CSI report set.

Claims (25)

1. A method for transmitting an aperiodic channel state report by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, an aperiodic channel state information (CSI) report request, wherein the aperiodic CSI report request indicates a report for a set of a plurality of CSI aperiodic report sets; and

transmitting, to the base station, an aperiodic CSI based on the aperiodic CSI report request,

wherein a number of CSI reports included in a first CSI aperiodic report set among the plurality of CSI aperiodic report sets and a number of CSI reports included in a second CSI aperiodic report set among the plurality of CSI aperiodic report sets are configured independently,

wherein the first CSI aperiodic report set comprises component carrier (CC) or CSI process configured with a predetermined CSI reporting mode,

wherein the second CSI aperiodic report set does not comprise CC or CSI process configured with the predetermined CSI reporting mode,

wherein the first CSI aperiodic report set includes more CSI reports than the second CSI aperiodic report set, and

wherein, if the terminal is able to be configured with CCs or CSI processes that exceed a predetermined number, the number of CSI reports included in each of the plurality of CSI aperiodic report sets is configured to exceed 5 even in the case that CCs or CSI processes less than the predetermined number are configured for the terminal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, if CCs or CSI processes more a predetermined number are configured for the terminal, the number of bits indicating the aperiodic CSI report request is configured by the base station.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the number of bits indicating the aperiodic CSI report request is configured per CC or uplink (UL) subframe for which aperiodic CSI report according to the aperiodic CSI report request is performed, and a CSI aperiodic report set indicated by the aperiodic CSI report request of which bits are relatively small is included in a CSI aperiodic report set indicated by the aperiodic CSI report request of which bits are relatively large.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the number of bits indicating the aperiodic CSI report request is configured per CC or downlink (DL) subframe in which the aperiodic CSI report request is received, and the CSI aperiodic report set indicated by the aperiodic CSI report request of which bits are relatively small is included in the CSI aperiodic report set indicated by the aperiodic CSI report request of which bits are relatively large.

5. A terminal configured to report an aperiodic channel state in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to control the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, from a base station, an aperiodic channel state information (CSI) report request, wherein the aperiodic CSI report request indicates a report for a set of a plurality of CSI aperiodic report sets, and

transmit, to the base station, an aperiodic CSI based on the aperiodic CSI report request,

wherein a number of CSI reports included in a first CSI aperiodic report set among the plurality of CSI aperiodic report sets and a number of CSI reports included in a second CSI aperiodic report set among the plurality of CSI aperiodic report sets are configured independently,

wherein the first CSI aperiodic report set comprises component carrier (CC) or CSI process configured with a predetermined CSI reporting mode,

wherein the second CSI aperiodic report set does not comprise CC or CSI process configured with the predetermined CSI reporting mode, and

wherein the first CSI aperiodic report set includes more CSI reports than the second CSI aperiodic report set, and

wherein, if the terminal is able to be configured with CCs or CSI processes that exceed a predetermined number, the number of CSI reports included in each of the plurality of CSI aperiodic report sets is configured to exceed 5 even in the case that CCs or CSI processes less than the predetermined number are configured for the terminal.

6. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein, if CCs or CSI processes more than a predetermined number are configured for the terminal, the number of bits indicating the aperiodic CSI report request is configured by the base station.

7. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the number of bits indicating the aperiodic CSI report request is configured per CC or uplink (UL) subframe for which aperiodic CSI report according to the aperiodic CSI report request is performed, and a CSI aperiodic report set indicated by the aperiodic CSI report request of which bits are relatively small is included in a CSI aperiodic report set indicated by the aperiodic CSI report request of which bits are relatively large.

8. The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the number of bits indicating the aperiodic CSI report request is configured per CC or downlink (DL) subframe in which the aperiodic CSI report request is received, and the CSI aperiodic report set indicated by the aperiodic CSI report request of which bits are relatively small is included in the CSI aperiodic report set indicated by the aperiodic CSI report request of which bits are relatively large.
