Abstract

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a method of reporting channel state information (CSI) of a terminal in which a plurality of CSI-reference resource (RS) configurations is set and includes: receiving information for quasi co-located assumption; measuring a channel state by using the CSI-RS; inducing a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based on the measured result and the information for the QC assumption; and reporting the CSI including a CQI index associated with the MCS, wherein if there is a physical cell ID corresponding to the CSI-RS in the information for the QC assumption, the MSC is a value capable of receiving data below a certain error rate if the data, under the assumption of a cell-specific RS (CRS) transmitted from a cell of the physical cell ID and the QC, is received.

Claims (26)

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

receiving information for a Quasi Co-located (QC) assumption indicating a physical cell ID of a QC assumable cell;

measuring a channel state using a CSI-RS;

calculating a number of resource elements (REs) included in a CSI reference resource based on a number of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) ports corresponding to the physical cell ID,

wherein the CRS ports are QC assumed with a port of the CSI-RS;

deriving a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based on the measured channel state, the calculated number of REs and the information for the QC assumption; and

reporting the CSI containing a CQI index related to the MCS.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the information for the QC assumption indicates the physical cell ID of the QC assumable cell with respect to each of the CSI-RS configurations.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the information for the QC assumption indicates the physical cell ID of the QC assumable cell with respect to a CSI-RS configuration having a QC assumable cell among plurality of the CSI-RS configurations.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the number of the REs included in a CSI reference resource is calculated excluding REs overlapped with REs corresponding to the QC assumed CRS ports.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the information for the QC assumption further contains a serving cell CRS rate matching flag.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the serving cell CRS rate matching flag indicates exclusion of a resource element corresponding to a CRS port of a serving cell in calculating the number of the REs of the CSI reference resource for deriving of the MCS.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the MCS is a highest MCS among MCSs allowing reception of data with an error rate lower than or equal to a predetermined error rate.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the predetermined error rate is a block error rate (BLER) lower than or equal to 10%.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the CSI-RS configurations is included in a coordinated multi-point (CoMP) measurement set.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein reception of the data under the QC assumption between the CRS and the CSI-RS is performed using a large-scale property estimated from a port for the CRS to perform channel estimation for the data.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the large-scale property comprises delay spread, Doppler spread, frequency shift, average receive power, and reception timing.

12. A user equipment (UE) configured with a plurality of channel state information (CSI)-reference signal (RS) configurations in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a receiver configured to receive signals; and

a processor configured to process the signals, wherein the processor is configured to

control the receiver to receive information for a Quasi Co-located (QC) assumption indicating a physical cell ID of a QC assumable cell,

measure a channel state using a CSI-RS,

calculate a number of REs included in a CSI reference resource based on a number of a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) ports corresponding to the physical cell ID,

wherein the CRS ports are QC assumed with a port of the CSI-RS,

derive a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) based on the measured channel state, the calculated number of REs, and the information for the QC assumption, and

report the CSI containing a CQI index related to the MCS.
