Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method, performed by a user equipment (UE), for reporting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor. According to the present disclosure, the UE receives a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from a base station through a multiple antenna port; and reports the CSI to the base station, wherein the CSI includes a precoding matrix indicator for a codebook generated by linear combination, wherein the codebook is generated based on a specific parameter set, and wherein the specific parameter set is differently set/applied based on at least one of a rank value or at least one layer index of a specific rank.

Claims (49)

1. A method for transmitting channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, comprising:

receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from a base station through a multiple antenna port; and

reporting the CSI to the base station,

wherein the CSI includes a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) for a codebook generated by linear combination,

wherein the codebook is configured based on a parameter set for the linear combination,

wherein the parameter set for the linear combination is differently set/applied based on whether a rank value is (i) one of a rank 1 and a rank 2 or (ii) one of a rank 3 and a rank 4,

wherein the CSI includes (i) a wideband PMI and (ii) a subband PMI,

wherein the parameter set for the linear combination includes (i) a parameter for a number of beams to be linearly combined and (ii) a parameter related to the subband PMI, and

wherein a payload of the CSI is determined based on (i) the parameter for the number of the beams to be linearly combined and (ii) the parameter related to the subband PMI.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, information on the parameter set for the linear combination through higher layer signaling.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter set for a case where the rank value is the rank 1 and the parameter set for a case where the rank value is the rank 2 are identically set/applied.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the parameter set for a case where the rank value is the rank 3 and the parameter set for a case where the rank value is the rank 4 are identically set/applied.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI consists of a first part and a second part,

wherein the first part includes a rank indicator (RI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), and an indicator indicating the number of combining coefficients having an amplitude of a positive real value, and

wherein the second part includes the PMI.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first part has a fixed payload size and is used to identify the number of information bits of the second part.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein the parameter set for (i) the case where the rank value is the rank 1 and (ii) the case where the rank value is the rank 2 are differently set/applied with the parameter set for (i) the case where the rank value is the rank 3 and (ii) the case where the rank value is the rank 4.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the parameter set is identically set/applied to each layer.

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

transmitting a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) to a terminal through a multi-antenna port; and

receiving CSI from the terminal,

wherein the CSI includes a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) for a codebook generated by linear combination,

wherein the codebook is configured based on a parameter set for the linear combination,

wherein the parameter set for the linear combination is differently set/applied based on whether a rank value is (i) one of a rank 1 and a rank 2 or (ii) one of a rank 3 and a rank 4,

wherein the CSI includes (i) a wideband PMI and (ii) a subband PMI,

wherein the parameter set for the linear combination includes (i) a parameter for a number of beams to be linearly combined and (ii) a parameter related to the subband PMI, and

wherein a payload of the CSI is determined based on (i) the parameter for the number of the beams to be linearly combined and (ii) the parameter related to the subband PMI.

10. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a RF (Radio Frequency) module including a transceiver for transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor for controlling the RF module, wherein the processor,

receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) from a base station through a multiple antenna port; and

reporting the CSI to the base station,

wherein the CSI includes a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) for a codebook generated by linear combination,

wherein the codebook is configured based on a parameter set for the linear combination,

wherein the parameter set for the linear combination is differently set/applied based on whether a rank value is (i) one of a rank 1 and a rank 2 or (ii) one of a rank 3 and a rank 4,

wherein the CSI includes (i) a wideband PMI and (ii) a subband PMI,

wherein the parameter set for the linear combination includes (i) a parameter for a number of beams to be linearly combined and (ii) a parameter related to the subband PMI, and

wherein a payload of the CSI is determined based on (i) the parameter for the number of the beams to be linearly combined and (ii) the parameter related to the subband PMI.

12. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the parameter set for a case where the rank value is the rank 1 and the parameter set for a case where the rank value is the rank 2 are identically set/applied.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the parameter set for a case where the rank value is the rank 3 and the parameter set for a case where the rank value is the rank 4 are identically set/applied.

14. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the CSI consists of a first part and a second part,

wherein the first part includes a rank indicator (RI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), and an indicator indicating the number of combining coefficients having an amplitude of a positive real value, and

wherein the second part includes the PMI.

15. The UE of claim 14 , wherein the first part has a fixed payload size and is used to identify the number of information bits of the second part.
