Abstract

The present specification provides a method for transmitting and receiving channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system. More specifically, a method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a resource block from a base station based on a first spatial Quasi-Co location (QCL) related parameter related to reception of the resource block including at least one control channel, wherein when the resource block and the CSI-RS are configured on the same symbol, the first spatial QCL related parameter and a second spatial QCL related parameter configured for reception of the CSI-RS are equally configured; configuring a beam for receiving the CSI-RS based on the second spatial QCL related parameter; and receiving the CSI-RS from the base station through the configured beam. The present specification has an effect that a UE, in which a less number of Rx chains are implemented, can receive multiple CSI-RSs.

Claims (24)

1. A method for receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station and based on a first spatial Quasi-Co location (QCL) related parameter, a resource block on an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) symbol, the resource block including at least one control channel; and

receiving, from the base station and based on a second spatial QCL related parameter, the CSI-RS on the OFDM symbol on which the resource block is received,

wherein based on the resource block and the CSI-RS both being configured to be received on the OFDM symbol:

(i) the first spatial QCL related parameter and the second spatial QCL related parameter are equally configured to configure a reception beam for the CSI-RS, based on a reception beam for the resource block, and

(ii) the resource block and the CSI-RS are frequency division multiplexed (FDM) in a frequency domain on the OFDM symbol.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS is received from a CSI-RS resource configured for beam management (BM).

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the CSI-RS is a CSI-RS of a specific number of ports or less.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a value of the specific number of ports is configured by radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource block is a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a control resource set (CORESET).

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein based on the resource block being the CORESET, the first spatial QCL related parameter is configured for a specific resource of the CORESET.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the specific resource of the CORESET is a resource related to a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) of the CORESET.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

configuring a beam for receiving the CSI-RS based on the second spatial QCL related parameter; and

receiving the CSI-RS from the base station through the configured beam.

9. A user equipment (UE) configured to receive a channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module configured to transmit and receive a radio signal; and

a processor functionally coupled to the RF module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, from a base station through the RF module and based on a first spatial Quasi-Co location (QCL) related parameter, a resource block on an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexed (OFDM) symbol, the resource block including at least one control channel; and

receive, from the base station through the RF module and based on a second spatial QCL related parameter, the CSI-RS on the OFDM symbol on which the resource block is received,

wherein based on the resource block and the CSI-RS both being configured to be received on the OFDM symbol:

(i) the first spatial QCL related parameter and the second spatial QCL related parameter are equally configured to configure a reception beam for the CSI-RS, based on a reception beam for the resource block, and

(ii) the resource block and the CSI-RS are frequency division multiplexed (FDM) in a frequency domain on the OFDM symbol.
