Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method by which a terminal receives a signal in a mobile communication system, according to one embodiment of the present specification, comprises the steps of: receiving channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) mode information; and receiving a signal on the basis of the CSI-RS mode information. Unlike a conventional method of allowing a base station to periodically set the CSI-RS in a terminal at a predetermined position such that the terminal receives the CSI-RS and generates and reports channel state information, the present invention proposes a method by which a base station allocates, to a terminal, a reference signal transmission for enabling aperiodic generation of the channel state information for a system having various numbers of transmission antenna ports such as one, two, four, eight, twelve, sixteen or thirty-two transmission antenna ports, and receives the channel state information report. In addition, a method for transferring ZP CSI-RS and quasi co-location (QCL) information for supporting rate matching thereby is also proposed.

Claims (32)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, first information indicating a mode of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) as one of an aperiodic mode or a semi-persistent mode, and at least one second information associated with a set of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) parameters related to resource element mapping and quasi co-location, the first information and the at least one second information being received by a higher layer signaling;

receiving, from the base station, control information indicating one of the at least one second information; and

receiving, from the base station, the CSI-RS according to the mode of the CSI-RS indicated by the first information and a PDSCH based on the indicated second information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in case that the first information is associated with the aperiodic mode, the second information indicated by the control information does not include information on a CSI-RS resource that is quasi co-located with PDSCH antenna ports.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising receiving information on at least one non-zero power CSI-RS configuration associated with the aperiodic mode or the semi-persistent mode.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein, in case that the first information is associated with the semi-persistent mode, the second information indicated by the control information does not include information on a CSI-RS resource that is quasi-co-located with PDSCH antenna ports corresponding to a deactivated CSI-RS resource.

5. A method performed by a base station in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, first information indicating a mode of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) as one of an aperiodic mode or a semi-persistent mode, and at least one second information associated with a set of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) parameters related to resource element mapping and quasi co-location, the first information and the at least one second information being transmitted by a higher layer signaling;

transmitting, to the terminal, control information indicating one of the at least one second information; and

transmitting, to the terminal, the CSI-RS according to the mode of the CSI-RS indicated by the first information and a PDSCH based on the indicated second information.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein, in case that the first information is associated with the aperiodic mode, the second information indicated by the control information does not include information on a CSI-RS resource that is quasi co-located with PDSCH antenna ports, and

wherein, in case that the first information is associated with the semi-persistent mode, the second information indicated by the control information does not include information on a CSI-RS resource that is quasi co-located with PDSCH antenna ports corresponding to a deactivated CSI-RS resource.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising transmitting information on at least one non-zero power CSI-RS configuration associated with the aperiodic mode or the semi-persistent mode.

8. A terminal in a mobile communication system, comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller associated with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, first information indicating a mode of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) as one of an aperiodic mode or a semi-persistent mode, and at least one second information associated with a set of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) parameters related to resource element mapping and quasi co-location, the first information and the at least one second information being received by a higher layer signaling,

receive, from the base station, control information indicating one of the at least one second information, and

receive, from the base station, the CSI-RS according to the mode of the CSI-RS indicated by the first information and a PDSCH based on the indicated second information.

9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein, in case that the first information is associated with the aperiodic mode, the second information indicated by the control information does not include information on a CSI-RS resource that is quasi co-located with PDSCH antenna ports.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller further configured to receive information on at least one non-zero power CSI-RS configuration associated with the aperiodic mode or the semi-persistent mode.

11. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein, in case that the first information is associated with the semi-persistent mode, the second information indicated by the control information does not include information on a CSI-RS resource that is quasi-co-located with PDSCH antenna ports corresponding to a deactivated CSI-RS resource.

12. A base station in a mobile communication system, comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller associated with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, first information indicating a mode of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) as one of an aperiodic mode or a semi-persistent mode, and at least one second information associated with a set of physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) parameters related to resource element mapping and quasi co-location, the first information and the at least one second information being transmitted by a higher layer signaling,

transmit, to the terminal, control information indicating one of the at least one second information, and

transmit, to the terminal, the CSI-RS according to the mode of the CSI-RS indicated by the first information and a PDSCH based on the indicated second information.

13. The base station of claim 12 , wherein, in case that the first information is associated with the aperiodic mode, the second information indicated by the control information does not include information on a CSI-RS resource that is quasi co-located with PDSCH antenna ports.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the controller further configured to transmit information on at least one non-zero power CSI-RS configuration associated with the aperiodic mode or the semi-persistent mode.

15. The base station of claim 12 , wherein, in case that the first information is associated with the semi-persistent mode, the second information indicated by the control information does not include information on a CSI-RS resource that is quasi co-located with PDSCH antenna ports corresponding to a deactivated CSI-RS resource.
