Abstract

A wireless access system supporting an unlicensed band and, more particularly, to a method for measuring a channel state and an apparatus for supporting the same. As one embodiment of the present invention, a method for reporting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless access system supporting an unlicensed band may comprise the steps of: receiving an upper layer signal including channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration information and channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) configuration information for one or more transmission points (TP) included in a transmission opportunity (TxOP) duration; receiving a physical layer signal including TxOP configuration information that indicates which TP is included in the TxOP duration; measuring the CSI by using a CSI-RS resource and a CSI-IM resource for the TP indicated by the TxOP configuration information, on the basis of the CSI-RS configuration information and the CSI-IM configuration information; and reporting the measured CSI.

Claims (24)

1. A method for reporting channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless access system supporting an unlicensed band, the method comprising:

receiving, from a serving transmission point (TP), channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration information and channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) configuration information for one or more TPs;

receiving, from the serving TP, a downlink control information (DCI) including transmission opportunity (TxOP) configuration information,

wherein the TxOP configuration information indicates which TP of the one or more TPs is included in a TxOP duration;

measuring the CSI for the indicated TP in the TxOP duration based on the CSI-RS configuration information and the CSI-IM configuration information; and

reporting the measured CSI to the serving TP.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS configuration information includes information for scheduling CSI-RS resources, and the CSI-IM configuration information includes information for scheduling CSI-IM resources.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the DCI further includes a field indicating a mapping relation between information as to whether the TxOP duration has started and the CSI-RS resources.

4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the DCI further includes a field indicating validity or invalidity of the CSI-IM resources for the TxOP duration.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the TxOP configuration information is mapped into at least the CSI-RS configuration information or the CSI-IM configuration information to indicate validity or invalidity of at least the CSI-RS configuration information or the CSI-IM configuration information.

6. A user equipment (UE) for reporting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless access system supporting an un unlicensed band, the UE comprising:

a transmitter;

a receiver; and

a processor functionally connected with the transmitter and the receiver and configured to measure and report the CSI,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive, from a serving transmission point (TP), channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration information and channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) configuration information for one or more transmission points TPs,

receive from the serving TP, a downlink control information (DCI) including transmission opportunity (TxOP) configuration information,

wherein the TxOP configuration information indicates which TP of the one or more TPs is included in a TxOP duration,

measure the CSI for the indicated TP in the TxOP duration, based on the CSI-RS configuration information and the CSI-IM configuration information, and

report the measured CSI to the serving TP.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the CSI-RS configuration information includes information for scheduling CSI-RS resources, and the CSI-IM configuration information includes information for scheduling CSI-IM resources.

8. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the DCI further includes a field indicating a mapping relation between information as to whether the TxOP duration has started and the CSI-RS resources.

9. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the DCI further includes a field indicating validity or invalidity of the CSI-IM resources for the TxOP duration.

10. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein the TxOP configuration information is mapped into at least the CSI-RS configuration information or the CSI-IM configuration information to indicate validity or invalidity of at least the CSI-RS configuration information or the CSI-IM configuration information.
