Abstract

Disclosed is a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G communication system such as LTE. A method for receiving a reference signal, according to the present disclosure, comprises the steps of: receiving configuration information on a reference signal; determining whether the aperiodic transmission of the reference signal is instructed on the basis of the configuration information; receiving a signal for requesting a measurement of the reference signal; measuring the reference signal on the basis of the configuration information when the received reference signal measurement request is aperiodic; generating channel state information on the basis of the measured result of the reference signal; and transmitting the channel state information.

Claims (37)

1. A method for transmitting a reference signal (RS) by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a first user equipment (UE), configuration information of a periodic channel state information (CSI)-RS;

receiving, from the first UE, CSI of the periodic CSI-RS;

transmitting, to the first UE, information indicating that subsequent measurement of the periodic CSI-RS is required to be performed in a first subframe subsequent to a second subframe through which the periodic CSI-RS is to be transmitted in case that the second subframe is to be overlapped with a third subframe through which an aperiodic CSI-RS for a second UE is to be transmitted; and

receiving, from the first UE, CSI based on a result of measurement of the periodic CSI-RS which is based on the information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information of the periodic CSI-RS includes at least one of a number of antenna ports, or resource configuration information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first UE and the second UE belongs to a group which shares a same CSI subframe configuration.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information is received through a radio resource control (RRC) message.

5. A method for transmitting a reference signal (RS) by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a first user equipment (UE), configuration information of a periodic channel state information (CSI) RS;

receiving, from the first UE, CSI of the periodic CSI-RS; and

transmitting, to the first UE, information indicating that subsequent measurement of the periodic CSI-RS is required to be performed in a first subframe subsequent to a second subframe through which the periodic CSI-RS is to be transmitted in case that the second subframe is to be overlapped with a third subframe through which an aperiodic CSI-RS for a second UE is to be transmitted.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the configuration information of the periodic CSI-RS includes at least one of a number of antenna ports, or resource configuration information.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first UE and the second UE belong to a group which shares a same CSI subframe configuration.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the configuration information is transmitted through a radio resource control (RRC) message.

9. A first user equipment (UE) for receiving a reference signal (RS), the first UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

control the transceiver to receive, from a base station (BS), configuration information of a periodic channel state information (CSI) RS,

measure the periodic CSI-RS in a subframe based on the received configuration information,

control the transceiver to transmit, to the BS, CSI based on a result of the measurement of the periodic CSI-RS,

control the transceiver to receive, from the BS, information indicating that subsequent measurement of the periodic CSI-RS is required to be performed in a first subframe subsequent to a second subframe through which the periodic CSI-RS is to be transmitted in case that the second subframe is to be overlapped with a third subframe through which an aperiodic CSI-RS for a second UE is to be transmitted, and

control the transceiver to transmit, to the BS, CSI based on a result of measurement of the periodic CSI-RS which is based on the information.

10. The first UE of claim 9 , wherein the configuration information of the periodic CSI-RS includes at least one of a number of antenna ports, or resource configuration information.

11. The first UE of claim 9 , wherein the first UE and the second UE belong to a group which shares a same CSI subframe configuration.

12. The first UE of claim 9 , wherein the

configuration information is received through radio resource control (RRC) message.

13. A base station (BS) for transmitting a reference signal (RS), the BS comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to:

control the transceiver to transmit, to a first user equipment (UE), configuration information of a periodic channel state information (CSI)-RS,

control the transceiver to receive, from the first UE, CSI of the periodic CSI-RS,

control the transceiver to transmit, to the first UE, information indicating that subsequent measurement of the periodic CSI-RS is required to be performed in a first subframe subsequent to a second subframe through which the periodic CSI-RS is to be transmitted in case that the second subframe is to be overlapped with a third subframe through which an aperiodic CSI-RS for a second UE is to be transmitted, and

control the transceiver to receive, from the first UE, CSI based on a result of measurement of the periodic CSI-RS which is based on the information.

14. The BS of claim 13 , wherein the configuration information of the periodic CSI-RS includes at least one of a number of antenna ports, or resource configuration information.

15. The BS of claim 13 , wherein the first UE and the second UE belong to a group which share a same CSI subframe configuration.

16. The BS of claim 13 , wherein the configuration information is transmitted through radio resource control (RRC) message.
