Abstract

A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system includes: receiving, from a base station, configuration information associated with a channel state information (CSI) report including at least one information associated with a CSI resource setting; receiving, from the base station, information associated with channel occupancy duration; determining whether at least one symbol for receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) is within channel occupancy duration, based on the at least one information associated with the CSI resource setting and the received information associated with the channel occupancy duration; receiving, from the base station, at least one CSI-RS on the at least one symbol, based on a result of the determining; and when the CSI report is determined to be transmitted, transmitting, to the base station, the CSI report based on the configuration information associated with the CSI report and the received at least one CSI-RS.

determining whether an uplink channel for transmitting the CSI report is within the channel occupancy duration based on the configuration information associated with the CSI report and the information associated with channel occupancy duration; and

in case that the uplink channel for transmitting the CSI report is within the channel occupancy duration, determining the CSI report to be transmitted.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving of the at least one CSI-RS on the at least one symbol based on the result of the determining comprises:

determining that all of symbols for CSI-RS reception are within the channel occupancy duration; and

receiving the CSI-RS in which all of the symbols for CSI-RS reception are within the channel occupancy duration.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving of the at least one CSI-RS on the at least one symbol based on the result of the determining comprises:

determining that at least one symbol for CSI-RS reception is within the channel occupancy duration; and

receiving the CSI-RS in which the at least one symbol for CSI-RS reception is within the channel occupancy duration.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a CSI processing unit (CPU) occupation time regardless of the channel occupancy duration,

wherein the CSI report is transmitted based on the determined CPU occupation time.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying channel non-occupancy duration for the CSI report based on the information associated with channel occupancy duration;

determining a most recent CSI-RS before the channel non-occupancy duration for the CSI report; and

determining a CPU occupation time based on the most recent CSI-RS before channel non-occupancy duration for the CSI report,

wherein the CSI report is transmitted based on the determined CPU occupation time.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying channel non-occupancy duration for the CSI report based on the information associated with channel occupancy duration; and

determining a most recent CSI-RS before the channel non-occupancy duration for the CSI report,

wherein the CSI report is transmitted based on the most recent CSI-RS.

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

transmitting, to a terminal, configuration information associated with a channel state information (CSI) report including at least one information associated with a CSI resource setting;

transmitting, to the terminal, information associated with channel occupancy duration;

transmitting, to the terminal, at least one channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS); and

receiving, from the terminal, a CSI report based on the configuration information associated with the CSI report,

wherein some of the at least one CSI-RS comprise at least one CSI-RS within the channel occupancy duration.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein, in case that at least one symbol for transmitting the at least one CSI-RS is determined not to be within the channel occupancy duration, the at least one CSI-RS is not received by the terminal based on the at least one symbol; and

wherein, in case that the at least one symbol for transmitting the at least one CSI-RS is determined to be within the channel occupancy duration, the at least one CSI-RS is received by the terminal based on the at least one symbol.
