Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for CSI reporting mechanisms are provided. A user equipment (UE) includes a transceiver and a processor operably connected to the transceiver. The transceiver is configured to receive information indicating a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource configuration, uplink-related downlink control information (DCI), and a CSI-RS associated with a selected CSI-RS resource in a same subframe as the uplink-related DCI. The processor configured to determine, in response to a CSI request included in the uplink-related DCI, an aperiodic CSI in reference to the CSI-RS. The transceiver is further configured to report the aperiodic CSI by transmitting the aperiodic CSI on an uplink channel.

Claims (44)

1. A method of transmitting channel state information (CSI) by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, first information for configuring at least one CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resource set;

receiving, from the base station, second information for activating a CSI-RS resource set from the at least one CSI-RS resource set;

calculating a CSI parameter based on a CSI-RS corresponding to the activated CSI-RS resource set; and

transmitting, to the base station, the CSI based on the calculated CSI parameter,

wherein the second information is included in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), and

wherein a starting time for a transmission of the CSI-RS is determined based on the second information.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, third information deactivating the activated CSI-RS resource set, the third information included in a MAC CE.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein an ending time for the transmission of the CSI-RS is determined based on the third information.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a message including the first information further comprises fourth information on a periodicity and an offset for a CSI-RS resource in the at least one CSI-RS resource set.

5. A terminal of transmitting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive signals; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a base station, first information for configuring at least one CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resource set,

receive, from the base station, second information for activating a CSI-RS resource set from the at least one CSI-RS resource set,

calculating a CSI parameter based on a CSI-RS corresponding to the activated CSI-RS resource set,

transmit, to the base station, the CSI based on the calculated CSI parameter,

wherein the second information is included in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), and

wherein a starting time for a transmission of the CSI-RS is determined based on the second information.

6. The terminal of claim 5 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive, from the base station, third information deactivating the activated CSI-RS resource set, the third information included in a MAC CE.

7. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein an ending time for the transmission of the CSI-RS is determined based on the third information.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein a message including the first information further comprises fourth information on a periodicity and an offset for a CSI-RS resource in the at least one CSI-RS resource set.

9. A method of receiving channel state information (CSI) by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, first information for configuring at least one CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resource set;

transmitting, to the terminal, second information for activating a CSI-RS resource set from the at least one CSI-RS resource set; and

receiving, from the terminal, a CSI calculated based on a CSI-RS corresponding to the activated CSI-RS resource set,

wherein the second information is included in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), and

wherein a starting time for a transmission of the CSI-RS is determined based on the second information.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the terminal, third information deactivating the activated CSI-RS resource set, the third information being included in a MAC CE.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein an ending time for the transmission of the CSI-RS is determined based on the third information, and

wherein a message including the first information further comprises fourth information on a periodicity and an offset for a CSI-RS resource in the at least one CSI-RS resource set.

12. A base station of receiving channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, first information for configuring at least one CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resource set,

transmit, to the terminal, second information for activating a CSI-RS resource set from the at least one CSI-RS resource set, and

receive, from the terminal, a CSI calculated based on a CSI-RS corresponding to the activated CSI-RS resource set,

wherein the second information is included in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), and

wherein a starting time for a transmission of the CSI-RS is determined based on the second information.

13. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the controller is further configured to transmit, to the terminal, third information deactivating the activated CSI-RS resource set, the third information included in a MAC CE.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein an ending time for the transmission of the CSI-RS is determined based on the third information.

15. The base station of claim 14 , wherein a message including the first information further comprises fourth information on a periodicity and an offset for a CSI-RS resource in the at least one CSI-RS resource set.
