Abstract

The present invention relates to a method whereby user equipment (UE) transmits channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system and to a device therefor. According to the present invention, a terminal receives configuration information for CSI reporting from a base station and receives a reference signal from the base station on the basis of the configuration information. The terminal may receive downlink control information (DCI) via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), calculate CSI about a particular channel on the basis of the configuration information and the DCI, and report same to the base station.

4. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein a size of the PMI is reduced by reducing the number of co-efficients, and

wherein the size of the payload of the second part is reduced as the size of the PMI is reduced.

5. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the beams included in the beam group determined based on the information related to the beam group are linearly combined by applying the co-efficients determined based on the information related to the the co-efficients.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the co-efficients include (i) a phase co-efficient for a phase combination on the beams included in the beam group and (ii) an amplitude co-efficient for an amplitude combination on the beams included in the beam group.

8. The method of claim 3 ,

wherein the plurality of codebook parameters consist of (i) a first parameter for determining a number of the beams included in the beam group, (ii) a second parameter for determining a number of subbands in which the CSI is reported, and (iii) a third parameter for determining a maximum value of the number of the co-efficients.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

determining a value of the at least one parameter that causes the size of the payload of the CSI to be less than or equal to the capacity of the resource,

wherein the value of the at least one parameter is reduced based on the determination, and

wherein the number of the co-efficients is reduced based on a reduction of the value of the at least one parameter.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

recalculating the CSI based on the reduced number of the co-efficients; and

reporting the recalculated CSI to the base station,

wherein the recalculated CSI includes information on the at least one parameter whose value is reduced.

11. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the at least one parameter whose value is reduced is the third parameter.

12. The method of claim 6 ,
