Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for reporting CSI by a terminal (user equipment) supported by a plurality of base stations in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving CSI report-related configuration information from at least one base station among the plurality of base stations; receiving a first reference signal via a specific reception beam from a first base station among the plurality of base stations; receiving a second reference signal via the specific reception beam from at least one base station except for the first base station among the plurality of base stations; calculating the CSI by performing measurement on the first reference signal and the second reference signal; and transmitting the CSI to the first base station, wherein the terminal may calculate the CSI by measuring, as interference, the second reference signal received via the specific reception beam.

Claims (70)

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

receiving configuration information related to a CSI report,

wherein the configuration information includes (i) first resource information for a channel measurement and (ii) second resource information for an interference measurement, and

wherein a first resource for the channel measurement is configured based on the first resource information and a second resource for the interference measurement is configured based on the second resource information;

receiving a reference signal based on the configuration information;

measuring a signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) based on the reference signal,

wherein the SINR is measured by applying Quasi co location (QCL) information configured to the first resource to the second resource; and

transmitting the CSI including the SINR,

wherein the second resource is a channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource, and

wherein the QCL information corresponds to QCL type D.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein measuring the SINR based on the reference signal comprises:

measuring a channel based on the first resource; and

measuring an interference based on the second resource,

wherein the interference is measured by applying the QCL information configured to the first resource to the second resource.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the configuration information further includes an uplink resource configuration for transmitting the CSI, and

wherein a plurality of uplink channel resources is configured based on the uplink resource configuration.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the UE is supported by a first base station and a second base station,

wherein the configuration information is configured separately for each base station.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein resource information for interference measurement of first configuration information related to the CSI report for the first base station includes resource information for channel measurement of second configuration information related to the CSI report for the second base station.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving linkage relationship information between (i) the first configuration information for the first base station and (ii) the second configuration information for the second base station.

7. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein based on a common layer being received from the first base station and the second base station, a total interference is calculated based on a first interference received via reception beam associated with the first base station and a second interference received via reception beam associated with the second base station, and

wherein the total interference is calculated by one of i) a sum value of the first interference and the second interference, ii) an average value of the first interference and the second interference or iii) a value obtained by sum of the first interference and the second interference after multiplying each by a weight.

8. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the CSI includes channel quality information (CQI), and

wherein the CQI corresponds to a value calculated when a layer is simultaneously received from the first base station and the second base station.

9. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein based on the CSI corresponding to a subband CSI report, the CSI is encoded by being divided into a part 1 and a part 2, and

wherein the part 2 comprises only a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) for each of the first base station and the second base station.

10. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the CSI is calculated based on an interference from other UEs.

11. A user equipment (UE) configured to report channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving configuration information related to a CSI report,

wherein the configuration information includes (i) first resource information for a channel measurement and (ii) second resource information for an interference measurement, and

wherein a first resource for the channel measurement is configured based on the first resource information and a second resource for the interference measurement is configured based on the second resource information;

receiving a reference signal based on the configuration information;

measuring a signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) based on the reference signal,

wherein the SINR is measured by applying Quasi co location (QCL) information configured to the first resource to the second resource; and

transmitting the CSI including the SINR,

wherein the second resource is a channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource, and

wherein the QCL information corresponds to QCL type D.

12. The UE of claim 11 , wherein measuring the SINR based on the reference signal comprises:

measuring a channel based on the first resource; and

measuring an interference based on the second resource,

wherein the interference is measured by applying the QCL information configured to the first resource to the second resource.

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

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information related to a CSI report,

wherein the configuration information includes (i) first resource information for a channel measurement and (ii) second resource information for an interference measurement, and

wherein a first resource for the channel measurement is configured based on the first resource information and a second resource for the interference measurement is configured based on the second resource information;

transmitting, to the UE, a reference signal based on the configuration information; and

receiving, from the UE, the CSI including a signal to interference noise ratio (SINR),

wherein the SINR is calculated by applying Quasi co location (QCL) information configured to the first resource to the second resource,

wherein the second resource is a channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource, and

wherein the QCL information corresponds to QCL type D.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on the first resource being based on a plurality of first resources:

for each of the plurality of first resources, a same QCL information is configured based on QCL type D,

the SINR is measured by applying the same QCL information to the second resource.

15. The UE of claim 11 , wherein, based on the first resource being based on a plurality of first resources:

for each of the plurality of first resources, a same QCL information is configured based on QCL type D,

the SINR is measured by applying the same QCL information to the second resource.

16. The BS of claim 13 , wherein, based on the first resource being based on a plurality of first resources:

for each of the plurality of first resources, a same QCL information is configured based on QCL type D,

the SINR is calculated by applying the same QCL information to the second resource.
