Abstract

A method of reporting channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system includes receiving a configuration for CSI (channel state information)-resource containing at least one CSI resource set, wherein each of the at least one CSI resource set consist of CSI-RS (channel state information-reference signal) resources comprising at least one of NZP (non zero power) CSI-RS resource and CSI-IM (channel state information-interference measurement) resource, and measuring CSI resources within one of the at least one CSI resource set, according to the configuration for CSI resource.

Claims (33)

1. A method of reporting channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information regarding at least one CSI resource set, wherein the at least one CSI resource set comprises CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources comprising at least one of (i) non-zero power (NZP) CSI-RS resource or (ii) channel state information -interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource;

receiving information related to configuring a set of flexible resources;

receiving information related to reconfiguring at least one flexible resource, included in the set of flexible resources, as a downlink resource;

receiving, in the at least one flexible resource, a CSI-RS related to the configuration information; and

reporting the CSI based on the CSI-RS.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a resource type of the CSI-RS resources is determined based on the configuration information.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein based on that the resource type of the CSI-RS resources is periodic, a number of the at least one CSI resource set is determined identical to 1.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a resource region of the CSI-RS resources is determined based on a bandwidth part for CSI reporting.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the bandwidth part for CSI reporting is one of a wideband or a subband.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS resources and the at least one of the NZP CSI-RS resource or the CSI-IM resource for one CSI reporting are paired.

7. A user equipment (UE) configured to report channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the memory;

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive configuration information regarding at least one CSI resource set, wherein the at least one CSI resource set comprises CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources comprising at least one of (i) non zero power (NZP) CSI-RS resource or (ii) C SI-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource;

receive information related to configuring a set of flexible resources;

receive information related to reconfiguring at least one flexible resource, included in the set of flexible resources, as a downlink resource;

receive, in the at least one flexible resource, a CSI-RS related to the configuration information; and

report the CSI based on the CSI-RS.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein a resource type of the CSI-RS resources is determined based on the configuration-information.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein based on that the resource type of the CSI-RS resources is periodic, a number of the at least one CSI resource set is determined identical to 1.

10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein a resource region of the CSI-RS resources is determined based on a bandwidth part for CSI reporting.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the bandwidth part for CSI reporting is one of a wideband or a subband.

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the CSI-RS resources and the at least one of the NZP CSI-RS resource or the CSI-IM resource for one CSI reporting are paired.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein a flexible resource denotes that a time resource which is available to be used as different usage from usage configured based on an uplink downlink configuration included in the information related to configuring the set of flexible resources.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

dropping, in the at least one flexible resource, a transmission of a sounding reference signal based on the information related to reconfiguring the at least one flexible resource as the downlink resource.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to reconfiguring the at least one flexible resource is received through downlink control information.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein a flexible resource denotes that a time resource which is available to be used as different usage from usage configured based on an uplink downlink configuration included in the information related to configuring the set of flexible resources.

17. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

dropping, in the at least one flexible resource, a transmission of a sounding reference signal based on the information related to reconfiguring the at least one flexible resource as the downlink resource.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information related to reconfiguring the at least one flexible resource is received through downlink control information.
