Abstract

Disclosed in the present application is a method by which a terminal transmits channel state information to a network in a wireless communication system. Particularly, the method comprises the steps of: receiving, from the network, information on a specific channel measurement resource and a specific interference measurement resource; calculating the channel state information by using the specific channel measurement resource and the specific interference measurement resource; and transmitting, to the network, the calculated channel state information, wherein independent beamforming is applied in units of symbols to the specific channel measurement resource.

Claims (24)

1. A method of transmitting channel state information to a network by a user equipment including a wireless transceiver and a processor connected to the wireless transceiver in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving information on at least two sets configured with a channel measurement resource and an interference measurement resource from the network;

receiving information on a specific channel measurement resource and a specific interference measurement resource from the network;

determining the channel state information using the specific channel measurement resource and the specific interference measurement resource; and

transmitting the computed channel state information to the network,

wherein the information on the specific channel measurement resource and the specific interference measurement resource indicates one of the at least two sets, and

wherein the at least two sets comprise a first set configured with a channel measurement resource located at last two symbols and an interference measurement resource located at a symbol right before the last two symbols in a resource grid defined with a plurality of symbols and a plurality of subcarriers and a second set configured with a channel measurement resource located at a second symbol in the resource grid and an interference measurement resource located at a fourth symbol in the resource grid.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising reporting capability of the user equipment to the network, wherein the specific channel measurement resource and the specific interference measurement resource are determined based on the reported capability of the user equipment.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a downlink control signal is located at a first symbol in the resource grid and wherein one of a downlink demodulation reference signal, a downlink data signal and a guard period for changing into an uplink transmission mode is located at a third symbol in the resource grid.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a sequence assigned to the specific channel measurement resource is spread by having an orthogonal cover code of length 3 applied thereto.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein an independent beamforming in symbol unit is applied to the specific channel measurement resource.

6. A user equipment in a wireless communication system, the user equipment comprising:

a wireless transceiver; and

a processor connected to the wireless transceiver, the processor configured to:

receive information on at least two sets configured with a channel measurement resource and an interference measurement resource from a network,

receive information on a specific channel measurement resource and a specific interference measurement resource from the network,

determine channel state information using a specific channel measurement resource and a specific interference measurement resource received from the network, and

transmit the computed channel state information to the network,

wherein the information on the specific channel measurement resource and the specific interference measurement resource indicates one of the at least two sets, and

wherein the at least two sets comprise a first set configured with a channel measurement resource located at last two symbols and an interference measurement resource located at a symbol right before the last two symbols in a resource grid defined with a plurality of symbols and a plurality of subcarriers and a second set configured with a channel measurement resource located at a second symbol in the resource grid and an interference measurement resource located at a fourth symbol in the resource grid.

7. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein the processor reports capability of the user equipment to the network and wherein the specific channel measurement resource and the specific interference measurement resource are determined based on the reported capability of the user equipment.

8. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein a downlink control signal is located at a first symbol in the resource grid and wherein one of a downlink demodulation reference signal, a downlink data signal and a guard period for changing into an uplink transmission mode is located at a third symbol in the resource grid.

9. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein a sequence assigned to the specific channel measurement resource is spread by having an orthogonal cover code of length 3 applied thereto.

10. The user equipment of claim 6 , wherein an independent beamforming in symbol unit is applied to the specific channel measurement resource.
