Abstract

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system. A method for transmitting channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment in a wireless communication system includes receiving a CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS), determining overhead of a common reference signal (CRS) resource element based on the same antenna port number as an antenna port number associated with the CSI-RS, and transmitting the CSI calculated based on the CSI-RS and the overhead of the CRS resource element.

Claims (32)

1. A method for transmitting Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless access system, the method performed by a user equipment and comprising:

receiving a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS);

assuming an overhead of Common Reference Signal Resource Elements (CRS REs) to be based on a number of antenna ports which is the same as a number of antenna ports associated with the CSI-RS; and

transmitting the CSI based on the assumed overhead of CRS REs.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving CSI configuration information for reporting the CSI.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the CSI configuration information is configured to report a channel quality indicator (CQI) without reporting a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and a rank indicator (RI).

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the CSI configuration information is transmitted using Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the number of antenna ports associated with the CSI-RS is configured less than or equal to 4.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI indicates a channel state in a Time Division Multiplexing (TDD) system of satisfying a channel reciprocity.

7. A method for receiving Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless access system, the method performed by a base station and comprising:

transmitting a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS); and

receiving the CSI generated based on an overhead of Common Reference Signal Resource Elements (CRS REs),

wherein the overhead of the CRS REs is assumed to be based on a number of antenna ports which is the same as a number of antenna ports associated with the CSI-RS.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

transmitting CSI configuration information for reporting the CSI.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the CSI configuration information is configured to report a channel quality indicator (CQI) without reporting a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and a rank indicator (RI).

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the CSI configuration information is transmitted using Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the number of antenna ports associated with the CSI-RS is configured less than or equal to 4.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the CSI indicates a channel state in a Time Division Multiplexing (TDD) system of satisfying a channel reciprocity.

13. A user equipment for transmitting Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless access system, the user equipment comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to:

receive a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS);

assume an overhead of Common Reference Signal Resource Elements (CRS REs) to be based on a number of antenna ports which is the same as a number of antenna ports associated with the CSI-RS; and

transmit the CSI based on the assumed overhead of CRS REs.

14. A base station for receiving Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless access system, the base station comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) unit; and

a processor configured to:

transmit a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS); and

receive the CSI generated based on an overhead of Common Reference Signal Resource Elements (CRS REs),

wherein the overhead of the CRS REs is assumed to be based on a number of antenna ports which is the same as a number of antenna ports associated with the CSI-RS.
