Abstract

Systems and techniques for transmitting channel state information (CSI) include: receiving configuration information related to the CSI from a base station, the configuration information including information on a CSI-RS resource set; receiving a CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) from the base station; and transmitting the CSI to the base station based on the configuration information and the CSI-RS. The CSI-RS resource set includes M CSI-RS resource groups; in addition, N CSI-RS resource groups (N≤M) for reporting the CSI are determined from the M CSI-RS resource groups; the CSI includes N CSI sets generated based on a CSI-RS resource combination in the N CSI-RS resource groups. To generate an n-th (1≤n≤N) CSI set, a specific CSI-RS resource in an n-th (1≤n≤N) CSI-RS resource group is used for channel measurement; and a specific CSI-RS resource in the remaining CSI-RS groups other than the n-th CSI-RS resource group is used for interference measurement.

Claims (41)

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

receiving configuration information related to the CSI from a base station, wherein the configuration information includes information on a CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource set;

receiving a CSI-RS from the base station; and

transmitting the CSI to the base station based on the configuration information and the CSI-RS,

wherein the CSI-RS resource set includes M (M is a natural number) CSI-RS resource groups,

wherein a plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations for reporting the CSI are determined from the M CSI-RS resource groups,

wherein the CSI includes N (N is a natural number) CSI sets generated based on the plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations,

wherein, for generating an n-th (1≤n≤N) CSI set, a CSI-RS resource belonging to a CSI-RS resource group in one of the plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations is used for channel measurement and a CSI-RS resource belonging to remaining CSI-RS resource groups other than the CSI-RS resource group in the one of the plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations is used for interference measurement, and

wherein the CSI includes information other than a CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI) for each of the M CSI-RS resource groups generated based on a single CRI.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a layer indicator (LI) is independently reported for the N CSI sets by the CSI.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the number of the LIs is determined based on the maximum number of ports of phase tracking reference signals (PTRS) configured in the terminal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations which should be computed by the terminal is configured by the configuration information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes information on a CSI-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource for interference measurement,

wherein a specific CSI-RS resource combination is mapped to the same CSI-IM resource.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein for one of the plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations, a reference signal in a quasi co-location (QCL) type for a different spatial Rx parameter is configured.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein CSI computation time for CSI reporting based on the plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations is determined by adding additional time based on a parameter value related to CSI computation time configured for CSI reporting based on a single CSI-RS resource.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein for deriving the CSI, it is assumed that there is a resource element for a port of 2 or more phase tracking reference signals (PTRS) in a CSI reference resource.

9. A terminal configured to transmit channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

at least one transceiver for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal; and

transmit the CSI to the base station based on the configuration information and the CSI-RS,

wherein the CSI-RS resource set includes M (M is a natural number) CSI-RS resource groups,

wherein a plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations for reporting the CSI are determined from the M CSI-RS resource groups,

wherein the CSI includes N (N is a natural number) CSI sets generated based on the plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations,

wherein, for generating an n-th (1≤n≤N) CSI set, a CSI-RS resource belonging to a CSI-RS resource group in one of the plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations is used for channel measurement and a CSI-RS resource belonging to remaining CSI-RS resource groups other than the CSI-RS resource group in the one of the plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations is used for interference measurement, and

wherein the CSI includes information other than a CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI) for each of the M CSI-RS resource groups generated based on a single CRI.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein a layer indicator (LI) is independently reported for the N CSI sets by the CSI.

11. The terminal of claim 10 , wherein the number of the LIs is determined based on a maximum number of ports of phase tracking reference signals (PTRS) configured in the terminal.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of CSI-RS resource combinations which should be computed by the terminal is configured by the configuration information.

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

transmitting configuration information related to the CSI to a terminal, wherein the configuration information includes information on a CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource set;

transmitting a CSI-RS to the terminal; and

receiving the CSI from the terminal,

wherein the CSI-RS resource set includes M (M is a natural number) CSI-RS resource groups,
