Channel state information feedback method in multi-antenna wireless communication system and apparatus therefor
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for feeding back channel state information in a wireless communication system supporting a three-dimensional multiple input multiple output (3D-MIMO) antenna. Specifically, the method comprises the steps of: receiving information on N beams, (where N is a natural number), precoded for specific antennas among a plurality of antennas constituting a 3D-MIMO antenna; selecting, from among the N beams, at least one specific beam for which to generate channel state information, and determining interference on the basis of M beams, (where M is a natural number, M≤N−1), among the remaining beams; and generating channel state information for the specific beam on the basis of the interference according to the M beams.
1. A method for feeding back channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system supporting a 3-dimensional multiple-input multiple-output (3D-MIMO) antenna, the method comprising:
receiving, through radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information about N beams (where N is a natural number) precoded for specific antennas among multiple antennas constituting the 3D-MIMO antenna and information about a number M of interference beams (where M is a natural number, M≤N−1);
selecting a specific beam for generating the CSI from among the N beams;
determining M beams among the remaining beams in descending order of the difference from the index of the specific beam; and
generating the CSI for the specific beam using the interference determined based on the M beams.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the N beams are precoded so that the N beams are orthogonal to each other.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the M beams are determined among beams closest to the specific beam in a vertical direction and beams closest to the specific beam in a horizontal direction.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
feeding back information about the M beams selected by the UE and the CSI.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein a number of specific beams is determined by rank.
6. A user equipment (UE) for feeding back channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system supporting a 3-dimensional multiple-input multiple-out (3D-MIMO) antenna, the UE comprising:
a radio frequency (RF) unit connected to multiple antennas constituting the full-dimensional antenna; and
a processor, operatively coupled to the RF unit,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive, through radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information about N beams (where N is a natural number) precoded for specific antennas among the multiple antennas and information about a number M of interference beams (where M is a natural number, M≤N−1),
select a specific beam for generating the CSI from among the N beams,
determine M beams among the remaining beams in descending order of the difference from the index of the specific beam, and
generate the CSI for the specific beam using the interference determined based on the M beams.
