Abstract

Provided is a method for measuring and reporting a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a wireless communication system. The method comprises: transmitting a first measurement report message, which includes at least one first CSI-RS measurement report; determining whether to report at least one second CSI-RS measurement result; and transmitting a second measurement report message, which includes the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result, when the determination is made to report the second CSI-RS measurement result. The determination of whether to report is based on a first CSI-RS trigger list, which is a list of one or more first CSI-RS resources that are related to the at least one first CSI-RS measurement result, and a second CSI-RS trigger list, which is a list of one or more second CSI-RS resources that are related to the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result.

Claims (40)

1. A method for measuring and reporting a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting a first measurement report message, which includes at least one first CSI-RS measurement result;

determining whether to report at least one second CSI-RS measurement result; and

transmitting a second measurement report message, which includes the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result, when the determination is made to report the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result,

wherein the determination of whether to report is based on a first CSI-RS trigger list, which is a list of one or more first CSI-RS resources that are related to the at least one first CSI-RS measurement result, and a second CSI-RS trigger list, which is a list of one or more second CSI-RS resources that are related to the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result,

wherein the second CSI-RS trigger list is compared with the first CSI-RS trigger list, and

wherein the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result is determined to be reported when the second CSI-RS trigger list is different from the first CSI-RS trigger list.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining that the second CSI-RS trigger list is different from the first CSI-RS trigger list when entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list are different from entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising determining that the second CSI-RS trigger list is different from the first CSI-RS trigger list when the entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list and the entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list are arranged in a higher order of quality of a measurement result, the entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list are equal to the entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list, and an order of the entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list is different from an order of the entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the determination of whether to report further comprises determining not to report the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result when the second CSI-RS trigger list is equal to the first CSI-RS trigger list, and

wherein the second measurement report message is not transmitted when it is determined that the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result is not reported.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising determining that the second CSI-RS trigger list is equal to the first CSI-RS trigger list when the entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list are equal to the entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list, and the order of the entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list is equal to the order of the entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first measurement report message further comprises the first CSI-RS trigger list.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the second measurement report message further comprises the second CSI-RS trigger list.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising starting a period timer when transmitting the first measurement report message,

wherein the determination of whether to report is performed when the period timer is terminated.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a measurement setting message including setting information for a measurement report from a network,

wherein the measurement setting message comprises a reporting setting indicating a reporting condition associated with the at least one first CSI-RS measurement result and the second CSI-RS measurement result, and

wherein the reporting setting comprises information indicating whether to report based on the first CSI-RS trigger list and the second CSI-RS trigger list.

10. A wireless apparatus operating in a wireless communication system, the wireless apparatus comprising:

a Radio Frequency (RF) unit configured to send and receive radio signals; and

a processor operably coupled to the RF unit and configured to:

transmit a first measurement report message, which includes at least one first CSI-RS measurement result;

determine whether to report at least one second CSI-RS measurement result; and

transmit a second measurement report message, which includes the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result, when the determination is made to report the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result,

wherein the determination of whether to report is based on a first CSI-RS trigger list, which is a list of one or more first CSI-RS resources that are related to the at least one first CSI-RS measurement result, and a second CSI-RS trigger list, which is a list of one or more second CSI-RS resources that are related to the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result,

wherein the second CSI-RS trigger list is compared with the first CSI-RS trigger list, and

wherein the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result is determined to be reported when the second CSI-RS trigger list is different from the first CSI-RS trigger list.

11. The wireless apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor determines that the second CSI-RS trigger list is different from the first CSI-RS trigger list when entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list are different from entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list.

12. The wireless apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the processor determines that the second CSI-RS trigger list is different from the first CSI-RS trigger list when the entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list and the entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list are arranged in a higher order of quality of a measurement result, the entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list are equal to the entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list, and an order of the entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list is different from an order of the entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list.

13. The wireless apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the determination of whether to report further comprises determining not to report the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result when the second CSI-RS trigger list is equal to the first CSI-RS trigger list, and

wherein the second measurement report message is not transmitted when it is determined that the at least one second CSI-RS measurement result is not reported.

14. The wireless apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the processor determines that the second CSI-RS trigger list is equal to the first CSI-RS trigger list when the entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list are equal to the entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list, and the order of the entries of the second CSI-RS trigger list is equal to the order of the entries of the first CSI-RS trigger list.

15. The wireless apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the first measurement report message further comprises the first CSI-RS trigger list.

16. The wireless apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the second measurement report message further comprises the second CSI-RS trigger list.

17. The wireless apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor starts a period timer when transmitting the first measurement report message,

wherein the determination of whether to report is performed when the period timer is terminated.

18. The wireless apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the processor receives a measurement setting message including setting information for a measurement report from a network,

wherein the measurement setting message comprises a reporting setting indicating a reporting condition associated with the at least one first CSI-RS measurement result and the second CSI-RS measurement result, and

wherein the reporting setting comprises information indicating whether to report based on the first CSI-RS trigger list and the second CSI-RS trigger list.
