Abstract

Provided are a method and an apparatus for reporting channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment in a wireless communication system. According to the present invention, the user equipment may receive configuration information related with the CSI from a base station and measure the CSI based on the configuration information. Thereafter, the user equipment includes reporting the CSI to the base station and the CSI includes a rank indicator (RI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), and an indicator indicating the number of amplitude coefficients other than 0 and the second part includes a precoding matrix indicator (PMI).

Claims (42)

1. A method of reporting, by a user equipment (UE), channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), configuration information related with the CSI;

measuring the CSI based on the configuration information; and

reporting the CSI to the BS,

wherein the CSI comprises a first part and a second part,

wherein the first part includes a rank indicator (RI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), and an indicator indicating a number of amplitude coefficients other than 0,

wherein the second part includes a precoding matrix indicator (PMI),

wherein a number of bits of the indicator indicating the number of amplitude coefficients other than 0 is configured for each layer based on the following equation:

┌log 2 2 L− 1┐,

wherein L denotes a number of base vectors linearly combined by a linear combination based codebook.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a payload size of the second part is determined by the first part.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a bitwidth of the PMI is determined based on the rank indicator and the indicator of the number of amplitude coefficients other than 0.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI is transmitted on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and

transmission power of the CSI increases as a number of bits of the first part increases.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rank indicator, the channel quality indicator, and the indicator indicating the number of amplitude coefficients other than 0 are each divided into separate fields within the first part, and

wherein each of the separate fields is encoded with the same coding rate.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indicator indicating the number of amplitude coefficients other than 0 is independently indicated for each layer.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein L is a codebook configuration parameter indicated by higher layer signaling and is an integer.

8. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first part has a higher CSI priority than the second part, and

wherein the first part and the second part are mapped to a next symbol of a symbol to which a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) is mapped according to the CSI priority.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first part and the second part are sequentially mapped in a direction in which an index of the symbol to which the DMRS is mapped increases.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of symbols to which the first part is mapped is determined based on a number of bits of the first part and a number of bits of the second part.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first part and the second part are encoded according to different modulation orders and/or coding rates, respectively.

12. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the first part and the second part are transmitted through different transmission powers, and

wherein specific values of the first part and/or the second part are/is repeatedly transmitted.

13. A user equipment (UE) configured to report channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

at least one processor configured to control the at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, from a base station (BS), configuration information related with the CSI,

measure the CSI based on the configuration information, and

report the CSI to the BS,

wherein the CSI comprises a first part and a second part,

wherein the first part includes a rank indicator (RI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), and an indicator indicating a number of amplitude coefficients other than 0,

wherein the second part includes a precoding matrix indicator (PMI),

wherein a number of bits of the indicator indicating the number of amplitude coefficients other than 0 is configured for each layer based on the following equation:

┌log 2 2 L− 1┐,

wherein L is denotes a number of base vectors linearly combined by a linear combination based codebook.

14. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the indicator indicating the number of amplitude coefficients other than 0 is encoded separately.
