Abstract

A method for transmitting an uplink signal based on a codebook by a UE in a wireless communication system includes: receiving, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) for determining a precoding matrix applied to transmission of the uplink signal; determining the precoding matrix applied to the transmission of the uplink signal from a codebook subset related to the transmission of the uplink signal based on the DCI; and transmitting, to the base station, the uplink signal based on the determined precoding matrix, I which based on that a difference between phase values applied to antenna ports for the transmission of the uplink signal is maintained in some antenna ports among all antenna port pairs, the codebook subset includes at least one specific precoding matrix applying different phase values to antenna ports included in all or some of the some antenna ports.
