Abstract

A communication technique for merging, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system or supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G system; and a system therefor is provided. The disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, healthcare, digital education, retail, security, and safety-related services, and the like) on the basis of 5G communication technology and IoT-related technology. A method and an apparatus for reporting channel state information for network cooperative communication are disclosed.

Claims (49)

1. A method for transmitting channel state information (CSI) performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving CSI configuration information including information on a plurality of reference signals associated with a plurality of transmission and reception points (TRPs);

receiving a plurality of CSI reference signals (CSI-RSs) associated with the plurality of TRPs;

generating the CSI associated with the plurality of TRPs based on the plurality of CSI-RSs, wherein the CSI comprises a CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI) indicating a subset of the plurality of CSI-RSs; and

transmitting the CSI,

wherein a value of the CRI is one of integers from 0 to M tot -1, and each value of the CRI maps to a specific subset of the plurality of CSI-RSs, where M tot is an integer, and

wherein a bitwidth of the CRI is [log 2 M tot ].

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the CSI further comprises at least one of rank indicator (RI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), a precoding matrix index (PMI) or a layer indicator (LI) corresponds to the CRI.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RSs indicated by the CRI are included in a CSI-RS resource set of the CSI configuration information.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the M tot is sum of a number of single CSI-RSs and a number of possible combinations of CSI-RSs among the plurality of CSI-RSs.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the CSI is transmitted on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) for aperiodic reporting of the CSI, or

wherein the CSI is transmitted on a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for semi-persistent reporting of the CSI.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the M tot is a number of subsets of the plurality of CSI-RSs.

7. A method for receiving channel state information (CSI) performed by a transmission and reception point (TRP) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, CSI configuration information including information on a plurality of reference signals from a plurality of TRPs;

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

receiving the CSI generated based on a plurality of CSI-RSs, wherein the CSI comprises a CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI) indicating a subset of the plurality of CSI-RSs,

wherein a value of the CRI is one of integers from 0 to M tot -1, and each value of CRI maps to a specific subset of the plurality of CSI-RSs, where M tot is an integer, and

wherein a bitwidth of the CRI is [log 2 M tot ].

8. The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the CSI further comprises at least one of rank indicator (RI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), a precoding matrix index (PMI) or a layer indicator (LI) corresponds to the CRI.

9. The method as claimed in claim 5 ,

wherein the value M tot is sum of a number of single CSI-RSs and a number of possible combinations of CSI-RSs among the plurality of CSI-RSs.

10. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the M tot is a number of subsets of the plurality of CSI-RSs.

11. A terminal for transmitting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to:

receive CSI configuration information including information on a plurality of reference signals associated with a plurality of transmission and reception points (TRPs),

receive a plurality of CSI reference signals (CSI-RSs) associated with the plurality of TRPs,

generate the CSI associated with the plurality of TRPs based on the plurality of CSI-RSs, wherein the CSI comprises a CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI) indicating a subset of the plurality of CSI-RSs, and

transmit the CSI,

wherein a value of the CRI is one of integers from 0 to M tot -1, and each value of the CRI maps to a specific subset of the plurality of CSI-RSs, where M tot is an integer, and

wherein a bitwidth of the CRI is [log 2 M tot ].

12. The terminal as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the CSI further comprises at least one of rank indicator (RI), a channel quality indicator (COI), a precoding matrix index (PMI) or a layer indicator (LI) corresponds to the CRI.

13. The terminal as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the CSI-RSs indicated by the CRI are included in a CSI-RS resource set of the CSI configuration information.

14. The terminal as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the value M tot is sum of a number of single CSI-RSs and a number of possible combinations of CSI-RSs among the plurality of CSI-RSs.

15. The terminal as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the M tot is a number of subsets of the plurality of CSI-RSs.

16. A transmission and reception point (TRP) for receiving channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the TRP comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive a signal; and

a controller configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, CSI configuration information including information on a plurality of reference signals from a plurality of TRPs,

transmit at least one CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) to the terminal, and

receive the CSI generated based on a plurality of CSI-RSs, wherein the CSI comprises a CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI) indicating a subset of the plurality of CSI-RSs,

wherein a value of the CRI is one of integers from 0 to M tot -1, and each value of CRI maps to a specific subset of the plurality of CSI-RSs, where M tot is an integer, and

wherein a bitwidth of the CRI is [log 2 M tot ].

17. The TRP as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the CSI further comprises at least one of rank indicator (RI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), a precoding matrix index (PMI) or a layer indicator (LI) corresponds to the CRI.

18. The TRP as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the CSI-RSs indicated by the CRI are included in a CSI-RS resource set of the CSI configuration information.

19. The TRP as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the value M tot is sum of a number of single CSI-RSs and a number of possible combinations of CSI-RSs among the plurality of CSI-RSs.

20. The TRP as claimed in claim 16 , wherein the M tot is a number of subsets of the plurality of CSI-RSs.
