Abstract

Disclosed are: a communication technique for fusing, with IoT technology, a 5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4 G system and subsequent systems; and a system thereof. The present disclosure can be applied to an intelligent service (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security and safety-related service and the like) based on 5G communication technology and IoT related technology. The present disclosure presents a method by which a base station determines the approximate location of a terminal on the basis of a reception power report, and sets a codebook subset on the basis of the approximate location of the terminal so as to reduce a channel state report burden.

Claims (44)

1. A method of receiving feedback information by an evolved node B (eNB) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting configuration information associated with at least one reference signal to a user equipment (UE), wherein the configuration information associated with at least one reference signal comprises information associated with at least one precoding vector;

transmitting the at least one reference signal to the UE;

transmitting feedback configuration information and reception power report configuration information to the UE; and

receiving, from the UE, feedback information based on the feedback configuration information and a reception power report based on the reception power report configuration information,

wherein the feedback information and the reception power report are generated based on the at least one reference signal and the at least one precoding vector, respectively.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one reference signal denotes a channel status information reference signal (CSI-RS).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a codebook subset comprising the at least one precoding vector is allocated based on the reception power report configuration information.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the codebook subset is determined by selecting a predetermined precoding matrix from among all or some precoding matrices corresponding to M vertical directions and N horizontal directions, and

wherein the all or some precoding matrices corresponding to the M vertical directions and the N horizontal directions are defined in advance by the eNB and the UE.

5. A method of transmitting feedback information by a UE in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information associated with at least one reference signal from an evolved node B (eNB), wherein the configuration information associated with at least one reference signal comprises information associated with at least one precoding vector;

receiving the at least one reference signal from the eNB;

receiving feedback configuration information and reception power report configuration information from the eNB;

generating feedback information and a reception power report based on the at least one reference signal and the at least one precoding vector, respectively; and

transmitting, to the eNB, the feedback information based on the feedback configuration information and the reception power report based on the reception power report configuration information.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the at least one reference signal denotes a channel status information reference signal (CSI-RS).

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein a codebook subset comprising the at least one precoding vector is allocated based on the reception power report configuration information.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the codebook subset is determined by selecting a predetermined precoding matrix from among all or some precoding matrices corresponding to M vertical directions and N horizontal directions, and

wherein the all or some precoding matrices corresponding to the M vertical directions and the N horizontal directions are defined in advance by the eNB and the UE.

9. An apparatus for receiving feedback information in an evolved node B (eNB) of a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit configuration information associated with at least one reference signal to a user equipment (UE), wherein the configuration information associated with at least one reference signal comprises information associated with at least one precoding vector,

transmit the at least one reference signal to the UE,

transmit feedback configuration information and reception power report configuration information to the UE, and

receive, from the UE, feedback information based on the feedback configuration information and receive a reception power report based on the reception power report configuration information,

wherein the feedback information and the reception power report are generated based on the at least one reference signal and the at least one precoding vector, respectively.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the at least one reference signal denotes a channel status information reference signal (CSI-RS).

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein a codebook subset comprising the at least one precoding vector is allocated based on the reception power report configuration information.

12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the codebook subset is determined by selecting a predetermined precoding matrix from among all or some precoding matrices corresponding to M vertical directions and N horizontal directions, and

wherein the all or some precoding matrices corresponding to the M vertical directions and the N horizontal directions are defined in advance by the eNB and the UE.

13. An apparatus for transmitting feedback information in a user equipment (UE) of a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive configuration information associated with at least one reference signal from an evolved node B (eNB), wherein the configuration information associated with at least one reference signal comprises information associated with at least one precoding vector,

receive the at least one reference signal from the eNB,

receive feedback configuration information and reception power report configuration information from the eNB,

generate feedback information and a reception power report based on the at least one reference signal and the at least one precoding vector, respectively, and

transmit, to the eNB, the feedback information based on the feedback configuration information and the reception power report based on the reception power report configuration information.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the at least one reference signal comprising a channel status information reference signal (CSI-RS).

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the codebook subset comprising the at least one precoding vector is allocated based on the reception power report configuration information.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the codebook subset is determined by selecting a predetermined precoding matrix from among all or some precoding matrices corresponding to M vertical directions and N horizontal directions, and

wherein the all or some precoding matrices corresponding to the M vertical directions and the N horizontal directions are defined in advance by the eNB and the UE.
