Abstract

Channel State Information (CSI) is reported by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless access system which supports carrier aggregation. A first type CSI for a first component carrier (CC) of two or more downlink (DL) CCs is measured. A second type CSI for a second CC of the two or more downlink (DL) CCs is measured. The first type CSI only is reported, when a collision of a report of the first type CSI with a report of the second CSI type is occurred in a same subframe. In addition, the first type CSI includes (1) a Rank indicator (RI) and a first Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), (2) only the RI, or (3) only the first PMI, and the second type CSI includes (1) a Wideband Channel Quality Indicator (WB-CQI) and a second PMI, (2) the WB-CQI and the first PMI, or (3) only the WB-CQI.

Claims (28)

1. A method for reporting Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless access system which supports carrier aggregation, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:

measuring a first type CSI for a first component carrier (CC) of two or more downlink (DL) CCs;

measuring a second type CSI for a second CC of the two or more downlink (DL) CCs; and

reporting the first type CSI only, when a collision of a report of the first type CSI with a report of the second CSI type occurs in a same subframe,

wherein the first type CSI includes (1) a Rank Indicator (RI) and a first Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) or (2) only the RI, and

wherein the second type CSI includes (1) a Wideband Channel Quality Indicator (WB-CQI) and a second PMI, (2) the WB-CQI and the first PMI, or (3) only the WB-CQI.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first type CSI has higher priority than the second type CSI and the second type CSI is dropped.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving information related to CSI reporting modes for the two or more DL CCs,

wherein the measurements of the first type CSI and the second type CSI are performed based on the CSI reporting mode.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reporting the first type CSI is periodically performed according to each content of the first type CSI.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first type CSI is reported through a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).

6. A user equipment (UE) for reporting Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless access system which supports carrier aggregation, the UE comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

a processor configured to control the transmitter and the receiver for reporting the CSI,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

measure a first type CSI for a first component carrier (CC) of two or more downlink (DL) CCs;

measure a second type CSI for a second CC of the two or more downlink (DL) CCs; and

report the first type CSI only thought the transmitter, when a collision of a report of the first type CSI with a report of the second CSI type occurs in a same subframe,

wherein the first type CSI includes (1) a Rank Indicator (RI) and a first Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) or (2) only the RI, and

wherein the second type CSI includes (1) a Wideband Channel Quality Indicator (WB-CQI) and a second PMI, (2) the WB-CQI and the first PMI, or (3) only the WB-CQI.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the first type CSI has higher priority than the second type CSI and the second type CSI is dropped.

8. The UE according to claim 6 , where the processor is further configured to:

receive information related to CSI reporting modes for the two or more DL CCs through the receiver,

wherein the measurements of the first type CSI and the second type CSI are performed based on the CSI reporting mode.

9. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the reporting the first type CSI is periodically performed according to each content of the first type CSI.

10. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the first type CSI is reported through a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).
