Abstract

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method by which a terminal reports a channel state on the basis of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a wireless communication system can comprise the steps of: transmitting, to a base station, terminal capability information related to the maximum number of CSI processes which can be simultaneously updated or calculated by the terminal in which a shortened processing time has been set; receiving an aperiodic CSI request from the base station; and, according to the aperiodic CSI request, updating or calculating CSI in a CSI reference resource at the point of time set for the shortened processing time, on the basis of the terminal capability information and transmitting the updated or calculated CSI to the base station.

Claims (34)

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

receiving an aperiodic CSI request from a base station (BS);

determining the CSI based on a CSI reference resource related to the aperiodic CSI request; and

transmitting a CSI report including the CSI,

wherein the CSI report is transmitted in a time interval n,

wherein the CSI reference resource belongs to a time interval n-n CQI_ref in a time domain,

wherein n CQI_ref is an integer greater than or equal to k, and

wherein k depends on whether the UE is configured with a shortened processing time or not.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the time interval n-n CQI_ref is different from a time interval in which the aperiodic CSI request is received.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein n CQI_ref is the smallest value among candidate values n CQI_ref_candidate that are greater than or equal to k, and wherein the time interval n-n CQI_ref_candidate is a valid downlink time interval.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein k is a first positive integer when the UE is configured with the shortened processing time, and a second positive integer when the UE is not configured with the shortened processing time, and

wherein the first positive integer is smaller than the second positive integer.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the second positive integer is 5 for frequency division duplex (FDD), and the first positive integer is smaller than 5.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the second positive integer is 4 for time division duplex (TDD) and 2 or 3 CSI processes, and the first positive integer is smaller than 4.

7. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the second positive integer is 5 for TDD and 4 CSI processes, and the first positive integer is smaller than 5.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each time interval comprises 14 orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in the time domain.

9. A user equipment (UE) for reporting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver; and a processor configured to control the transmitter and the receiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, via the receiver, an aperiodic CSI request from a base station (BS),

determine the CSI based on a CSI reference resource related to the aperiodic CSI request; and

transmit, via the transmitter, a CSI report including the CSI,

wherein the CSI report is transmitted in a time interval n,

wherein the CSI reference resource belongs to a time interval n-n CQI_ref in a time domain,

wherein n CQI_ref is an integer greater than or equal to k, and

wherein k depends on whether the UE is configured with a shortened processing time or not.

10. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein the time interval n-n CQI_ref is different from a time interval in which the aperiodic CSI request is received.

11. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein n CQI-ref is the smallest value among candidate values n CQI_ref_candidate that are greater than or equal to k, and wherein the time interval n-n CQI_ref_candidate is a valid downlink time interval.

12. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein k is a first positive integer when the UE is configured with the shortened processing time, and a second positive integer when the UE is not configured with the shortened processing time, and

wherein the first positive integer is smaller than the second positive integer.

13. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the second positive integer is 5 for frequency division duplex (FDD), and the first positive integer is smaller than 5.

14. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the second positive integer is 4 for time division duplex (TDD) and 2 or 3 CSI processes, and the first positive integer is smaller than 4.

15. The UE according to claim 12 , wherein the second positive integer is 5 for TDD and 4 CSI processes, and the first positive integer is smaller than 5.

16. The UE according to claim 9 , wherein each time interval comprises 14 orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in the time domain.
