Abstract

Suggested are a method and an apparatus for reporting beam information in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the method performed by a terminal may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, downlink control information for triggering beam reporting; receiving, from the base station, a resource related to beam reporting; and reporting, to the base station, first beam information or second beam information, on the basis of the resource related to beam reporting.

Claims (38)

1. A method of reporting, by a user equipment (UE), beam information in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving downlink control information for triggering a beam report from a base station;

receiving a beam report-related resource from the base station; and

reporting first beam information or second beam information to the base station based on the beam report-related resource,

wherein the first beam information includes an indicator of the beam report-related resource, received power information, and noise and interference information, and is reported based on a first minimum required time for the beam report,

wherein the second beam information includes the indicator of the beam report-related resource, and the noise and interference information, and is reported based on a second minimum required time for the beam report, and

wherein the first minimum required time is based on a value obtained by adding 1 symbol to the second minimum required time.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first minimum required time has a value greater than the second minimum required time.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the received power information includes reference signal received power (RSRP), and

wherein the noise and interference information includes a signal to interference noise ratio (SINR).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the beam report-related resource is a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource or a synchronization signal block (SSB) resource.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the beam report is an aperiodic beam report.

6. A user equipment (UE) configured to report beam information in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor operably connectable to the at least one transceiver; and

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

receiving downlink control information for triggering a beam report from a base station;

receiving a beam report-related resource from the base station; and

reporting first beam information or second beam information to the base station based on the beam report-related resource,

wherein the first beam information includes an indicator of the beam report-related resource, received power information, and noise and interference information, and is reported based on a first minimum required time for the beam report,

wherein the second beam information includes the indicator of the beam report-related resource, and the noise and interference information, and is reported based on a second minimum required time for the beam report, and

wherein the first minimum required time is based on a value obtained by adding 1 symbol to the second minimum required time.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the first minimum required time has a value greater than the second minimum required time.

8. The UE of claim 6 ,

wherein the received power information includes reference signal received power (RSRP), and

wherein the noise and interference information includes a signal to interference noise ratio (SINR).

9. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the beam report-related resource is a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource or a synchronization signal block (SSB) resource.

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the beam report is an aperiodic beam report.

11. A processing apparatus configured to control a user equipment (UE) to report beam information in a wireless communication system, the processing apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

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

receiving downlink control information for triggering a beam report from a base station;

receiving a beam report-related resource from the base station; and

reporting first beam information or second beam information to the base station based on the beam report-related resource,

wherein the first beam information includes an indicator of the beam report-related resource, received power information, and noise and interference information, and is reported based on a first minimum required time for the beam report,

wherein the second beam information includes the indicator of the beam report-related resource, and the noise and interference information, and is reported based on a second minimum required time for the beam report, and

wherein the first minimum required time is based on a value obtained by adding 1 symbol to the second minimum required time.
