Abstract

A method of reporting channel state information by a UE in a wireless communication system is provided. Specifically, A method of transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), power measurement information related to beam reporting in a wireless communication system includes: receiving downlink control information (DCI) triggering reporting of the power measurement information; receiving a downlink reference signal for reporting of the power measurement information; and transmitting, to a base station, power measurement information determined based on the received downlink reference signal. A minimum required time for reporting of the power measurement information is (i) calculated as the sum of a first minimum required time from the last timing of the downlink reference signal to a transmission timing of the power measurement information and a second minimum required time between DCI triggering the downlink reference signal and reception of the downlink reference signal or (ii) calculated based on a pre-configured threshold value related to reporting of the power measurement information.

Claims (36)

1. A method of transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), power measurement information related to beam reporting in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) triggering reporting of the power measurement information;

receiving a downlink reference signal for reporting of the power measurement information; and

transmitting, to a base station, power measurement information determined based on the received downlink reference signal,

wherein a minimum required time for reporting of the power measurement information is calculated as the sum of a first minimum required time from the last timing of the downlink reference signal to a transmission timing of the power measurement information and a second minimum required time between DCI triggering the downlink reference signal and reception of the downlink reference signal, and

wherein the minimum required time for the reporting of the power measurement information is calculated based on a pre-configured threshold related to the reporting of the power measurement information based on the sum of the first minimum required time and the second minimum required time being greater than a specific value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reporting of the power measurement information includes any one of (i) a CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI) and reference signal received power (RSRP)), (ii) a synchronization signal block (SSB) identifier and RSRP and (iii) no report.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein information for the second minimum required time is reported, by the UE, to the base station as UE capability information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink reference signal is at last one of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) and a synchronization signal block.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a subcarrier spacing for the reporting of the power measurement information is 60 kHz or 120 kHz.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the number of CSI processing units used for the reporting the power measurement information is 1.

7. A User equipment (UE) configured to transmit power measurement information related to beam reporting in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory functionally connected to the at least one processor,

wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving downlink control information (DCI) triggering reporting of the power measurement information;

receiving a downlink reference signal for reporting of the power measurement information; and

transmitting, to a base station, power measurement information determined based on the received downlink reference signal,

wherein a minimum required time for reporting of the power measurement information is calculated as the sum of a first minimum required time from the last timing of the downlink reference signal to a transmission timing of the power measurement information and a second minimum required time between DCI triggering the downlink reference signal and reception of the downlink reference signal, and

wherein the minimum required time for the reporting of the power measurement information is calculated based on a pre-configured threshold related to the reporting of the power measurement information based on the sum of the first minimum required time and the second minimum required time being greater than a specific value.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the reporting of the power measurement information includes any one of (i) a CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI) and reference signal received power (RSRP)), (ii) a synchronization signal block (SSB) identifier and RSRP and (iii) no report.

9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein information for the second minimum required time is reported, by the UE, to the base station as UE capability information.

10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the downlink reference signal is at last one of a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) and a synchronization signal block.

11. The UE of claim 7 , wherein a subcarrier spacing for the reporting of the power measurement information is 60 kHz or 120 kHz.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the number of CSI processing units used for the reporting the power measurement information is 1.

13. A base station configured to receive power measurement information related to beam reporting in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory functionally connected to the at least one processor,

wherein the at least one memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

transmitting downlink control information (DCI) triggering reporting of the power measurement information;

transmitting a downlink reference signal for reporting of the power measurement information; and

receiving, from a user equipment, power measurement information determined based on the received downlink reference signal,

wherein a minimum required time for reporting of the power measurement information is calculated as the sum of a first minimum required time from the last timing of the downlink reference signal to a transmission timing of the power measurement information and a second minimum required time between DCI triggering the downlink reference signal and reception of the downlink reference signal, and

wherein the minimum required time for the reporting of the power measurement information is calculated based on a pre-configured threshold related to the reporting of the power measurement information based on the sum of the first minimum required time and the second minimum required time being greater than a specific value.
