Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -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. The disclosure relates to a method for processing a control signal in a wireless communication system, and relates to a control signal processing method including: receiving a first control signal transmitted from the base station; processing the received first control signal; and transmitting a second control signal generated based on the processing to the base station.

Claims (56)

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

transmitting, to a base station, a terminal capability report including information on whether to support a non-coherent joint transmission (NC-JT) channel state information (CSI) report;

receiving, from the base station, an NC-JT CSI report request based on the information included in the terminal capability report;

determining whether to report NC-JT CSI based on the NC-JT CSI report request; and

transmitting, to the base station, the NC-JT CSI report based on the determination.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

measuring the NC-JT CSI;

determining whether a number of channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RS) for reporting the NC-JT CSI is greater than a threshold value; and

determining a value of a number of central processing units (CPUs) for the NC-JT CSI report based on the determination.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining whether to report NC-JT CSI comprises determining whether to report the NC-JT CSI based on a CSI report including at least one of an instruction through an upper layer, an instruction through a media access control (MAC)-control element (CE), or an instruction through L1 signaling.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining whether to report NC-JT CSI comprises determining whether to report the NC-JT CSI based on at least one of a number of CSI-RS for the NC-JT CSI report, a periodicity of the NC-JT CSI report, or a number of resource sets or resource settings related to a CSI report setting for the NC-JT CSI report.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing an NC-JT transmission based on the NC-JT CSI report,

wherein the performing the NC-JT transmission is determined based on a resource allocation for each transmission reception point (TRP).

6 . A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a terminal, a terminal capability report including information on whether to support a non-coherent joint transmission (NC-JT) channel state information (CSI) report;

transmitting, to the terminal, a NC-JT CSI report request based on the information included in the terminal capability report; and

receiving, from the terminal, the NC-JT CSI report based on the NC-JT CSI report request,

wherein whether to report NC-JT CSI is determined based on the NC-JT CSI report request.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein:

the NC-JT CSI is measured by the terminal;

whether a number of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) for reporting the NC-JT CSI is greater than a threshold value is determined by the terminal; and

a number of CPUs for reporting the NC-JT CSI is determined by the terminal based on the determination.

8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein whether to report the NC-JT CSI is determined based on a CSI report including at least one of an instruction through an upper layer, an instruction through a media access control (MAC)-control element (CE), or an instruction through L1 signaling.

9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein whether to report the NC-JT CSI is determined based on at least one of a number of CSI reference signals (CSI-RS) for the NC-JT CSI report, a periodicity of the NC-JT CSI report, or a number of resource sets or resource settings related to a CSI report setting for the NC-JT CSI report.

10 . The method of claim 6 , wherein NC-JT transmission is performed based on the NC-JT CSI report,

wherein the NC-JT transmission is determined based on a resource allocation for each transmission reception point (TRP).

11 . A terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive at least one signal; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver, the controller configured to:

transmit, to a base station, a terminal capability report including information on whether to support a non-coherent joint transmission (NC-JT) channel state information (CSI) report,

receive, from the base station, an NC-JT CSI report request based on the information included in the terminal capability report,

determine whether to report NC-JT CSI based on the NC-JT CSI report request, and

transmit, to the base station, the NC-JT CSI report based on the determination.

12 . The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

measure the NC-JT CSI,

determine whether a number of channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RS) for reporting the NC-JT CSI is greater than a threshold value, and

determine a value of a number of central processing units (CPUs) for the NC-JT CSI report based on the determination.

13 . The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the controller is configured to determine whether to report NC-JT CSI based on a CSI report including at least one of an instruction through an upper layer, an instruction through a media access control (MAC)-control element (CE), or an instruction through L1 signaling.
