Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for reporting channel state information, the method and the apparatus comprising the following steps: measuring downlink signals from a plurality of base stations; feeding back a first channel state information on a first base station in subband units, wherein the first channel state information includes identification information for indicating a corresponding subband; and feeding back a second channel state information on a second base station in subband units, wherein the subband which corresponds to the second channel state information is set to be identical to the subband which corresponds to the first channel state information, and wherein the second channel state information does not include identification information for indicating the corresponding subband.

Claims (18)

1. A method for reporting Channel State Information (CSI) at a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

measuring downlink signals of a plurality of base stations;

feeding back first CSI for a first base station in a unit of subband, wherein the first CSI includes identification information for indicating a corresponding subband; and

feeding back second CSI for a second base station in units of a subband, wherein the subband corresponding to the second CSI is configured to be identical to the subband corresponding to the first CSI, and the second CSI excludes identification information for indicating a corresponding subband,

wherein the second CSI includes phase correction information for adjusting a phase between the downlink signal of the first base station and the downlink signal of the second base station.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first CSI is calculated assuming a non-CoMP mode, and wherein the second CSI is calculated assuming a CoMP mode.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first CSI and the second CSI are transmitted through a plurality of neighboring subframes in a subframe set configured for CSI feed-back.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first base station is a serving base station and the second base station is a cooperative base station.

5. A User Equipment (UE) configured to transmit Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module; and

a processor configured to control the RF module,

wherein the processor is configured to measure downlink signals of a plurality of base stations, to feedback first CSI for a first base station in a unit of subband, and to feedback second CSI for a second base station in a unit of subband,

wherein the first CSI includes identification information for indicating a corresponding subband,

wherein the subband corresponding to the second CSI is configured to be identical to the subband corresponding to the first CSI, and the second CSI excludes identification information for indicating a corresponding subband,

wherein the second CSI includes phase correction information for adjusting a phase between the downlink signal of the first base station and the downlink signal of the second base station.

6. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the first CSI is calculated assuming a non-CoMP mode, and wherein the second CSI is calculated assuming a CoMP mode.

7. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the first CSI and the second CSI are transmitted through a plurality of neighboring subframes in a subframe set configured for CSI feed-back.

8. The UE according to claim 5 , wherein the first base station is a serving base station and the second base station is a cooperative base station.
