Abstract

Disclosed is a method for receiving a channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, which includes: receiving a CSI-RS associated with the SSB, in which the CSI-RS may be assumed to be quasi co-located (QCL) with the SSB.

Claims (38)

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

receiving Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel blocks (SS/PBCH blocks) based on a plurality of SSB indexes;

receiving CSI-RS configuration information that includes i) information for one or more CSI-RS resources and ii) QCL information for each of the one or more CSI-RS resources; and

receiving a CSI-RS based on a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship with respect to a spatial reception parameter,

wherein the QCL relationship is configured between i) a CSI-RS port of a CSI-RS resource related to the CSI-RS among the one or more CSI-RS resources and ii) an SS/PBCH block, and

wherein an SSB index of the SS/PBCH block is indicated by the QCL information for the CSI-RS resource related to the CSI-RS among the plurality of SSB indexes.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the SS/PBCH block includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS configuration information is received through radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the QCL information includes a QCL type for a QCL parameter set related to the QCL relationship.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the QCL type is defined to indicate different QCL parameter sets for each QCL type.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the QCL parameter set includes at least one of a delay spread, a Doppler spread, a Doppler shift, an average delay or the spatial reception parameter.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the spatial reception parameter includes at least one of a reception beam direction parameter or a reception beam width related parameter.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS is based on a periodic CSI-RS.

9. A user equipment (UE) for receiving a channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor controlling the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel blocks (SS/PBCH blocks) based on a plurality of SSB indexes;

receive CSI-RS configuration information that includes i) information for one or more CSI-RS resources and ii) QCL information for each of the one or more CSI-RS resources; and

receive a CSI-RS based on a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship with respect to a spatial reception parameter,

wherein the QCL relationship is configured between i) a CSI-RS port of a CSI-RS resource related to the CSI-RS among the one or more CSI-RS resources and ii) an SS/PBCH block, and

wherein an SSB index of the SS/PBCH block is indicated by the QCL information for the CSI-RS resource related to the CSI-RS among the plurality of SSB indexes.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the SS/PBCH block includes a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), and a physical broadcast channel (PBCH).

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the CSI-RS configuration information is transmitted through radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the QCL information includes a QCL type for a QCL parameter set related to the QCL relationship.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein the QCL type is defined to indicate different QCL parameter sets for each QCL type.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the QCL parameter set includes at least one of a delay spread, a Doppler spread, a Doppler shift, an average delay or the spatial reception parameter.

15. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the spatial reception parameter includes at least one of a reception beam direction parameter or a reception beam width related parameter.

16. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the CSI-RS is based on a periodic CSI-RS.

17. A base station for transmitting a channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit transmitting and receiving a radio signal; and

a processor controlling the RF unit,

wherein the processor is configured to:

transmit Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel blocks (SS/PBCH blocks) based on a plurality of SSB indexes,

transmit CSI-RS configuration information that includes i) information for one or more CSI-RS resources and ii) QCL information for each of the one or more CSI-RS resources,

transmit a CSI-RS based on a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship with respect to a spatial reception parameter,

wherein the QCL relationship is configured between i) a CSI-RS port of a CSI-RS resource related to the CSI-RS among the one or more CSI-RS resources and ii) an SS/PBCH block, and

wherein an SSB index of the SS/PBCH block is indicated by the QCL information for the CSI-RS resource related to the CSI-RS among the plurality of SSB indexes.
