Abstract

A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving CSI is provided for use in a wireless communication system using a plurality of antennas. The CSI transmission method of a terminal includes receiving a first CSI-RS and a second CSI-RS, transmitting a CSI indicator indicating one of the first and second CSI-RS corresponding to CSI to be transmitted, and transmitting the CSI generated based on the CSI indicator, until transmission of a new CSI indicator.

Claims (37)

1. A channel state information (CSI) transmission method of a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving a first CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) and a second CSI-RS;

transmitting a CSI indicator at a first timing, wherein the CSI indicator indicates one CSI-RS among the first CSI-RS and the second CSI-RS; and

reporting a channel quality indicator (CQI) at a second timing which is different than the first timing, the CQI being generated based on the one CSI-RS indicated by the transmitted CSI indicator,

wherein a reporting period of the CSI indicator is an integer multiple of at least one among a period of the CQI and a period of a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) generated based on the one CSI-RS indicated by the transmitted CSI indicator.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI indicator is transmitted with a rank indicator.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CQI is reported until transmission of a new CSI indicator.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second CSI-RSs are transmitted by a two-dimensional antenna array.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the CSI indicator is a dimension indicator indicating one of first dimension-grouped antenna ports and second dimension-grouped antenna ports.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the dimension indicator indicates which one of the first dimension grouped antenna ports and the second dimension grouped antenna ports correspond to the PMI.

7. A terminal for transmitting channel state information (CSI), the terminal comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a controller configured to:

control the receiver to receive a first CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) and a second CSI-RS,

control the transmitter to transmit a CSI indicator at a first timing, wherein the CSI indicator indicates one CSI-RS among the first CSI-RS and the second CSI-RS, and

control the transmitter to report a channel quality indicator (CQI) at a second timing which is different than the first timing, the CQI being generated based on the one CSI-RS indicated by the transmitted CSI indicator,

wherein a reporting period of the CSI indicator is an integer multiple of at least one among a period of the CQI and a period of a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) generated based on the one CSI-RS indicated by the transmitted CSI indicator.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the CSI indicator is transmitted with a rank indicator.

9. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the CQI is reported until transmission of a new CSI indicator.

10. A channel state information (CSI) reception method of a base station (BS), the method comprising:

transmitting a first CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) and a second CSI-RS;

receiving a CSI indicator at a first timing, wherein the CSI indicator indicates one CSI-RS among the first CSI-RS and the second CSI-RS; and

receiving a channel quality indicator (CQI) at a second timing which is different than the first timing, the CQI being generated based on the one CSI-RS indicated by the received CSI indicator,

wherein a reporting period of the CSI indicator is an integer multiple of at least one among a period of the CQI and a period of a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) generated based on the one CSI-RS indicated by the transmitted CSI indicator.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the CSI indicator is received with a rank indicator.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the CQI is received until receipt of a new CSI indicator.

13. A base station (BS) for receiving channel state information (CSI), the BS comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

a controller configured to:

control the transmitter to transmit a first CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) and a second CSI-RS,

control the receiver to receive a CSI indicator at a first timing, wherein the CSI indicator indicates one CSI-RS among the first CSI-RS and the second CSI-RS, and

control the receiver to receive a channel quality indicator (CQI) at a second timing which is different than the first timing, the CQI being generated based on the one CSI-RS indicated by the received CSI indicator,

wherein a reporting period of the CSI indicator is an integer multiple of at least one among a period of the CQI and a period of a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) generated based on the one CSI-RS indicated by the transmitted CSI indicator.

14. The BS of claim 13 , wherein the CSI indicator is received with a rank indicator.

15. The BS of claim 13 , wherein the CQI is received until receipt of a new CSI indicator.
