Abstract

A method by which a terminal transmits feedback information in a wireless communication system can comprise the steps of: selecting a filter index for maximizing a signal to interference-plus-noise (SINR) or a signal to leakage-and-noise ratio (SLNR) in a filter book defined in advance for each resource block (RB) or subband; and transmitting, to a base station, feedback information including the selected filter index for each RB or subband.

Claims (415)

1. A method for transmitting feedback information by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

obtaining information on a predefined filter book;

receiving, from a base station, information on a plurality of subbands, wherein the plurality of subbands are configured to be applied respectively with a plurality of filter indexes;

estimating a channel for each of the plurality of subbands;

obtaining the plurality of filter indexes corresponding respectively to the plurality of subbands, wherein each of the plurality of filter indexes is selected from the predefined filter book for maximizing a signal to leakage-and-noise ratio (SLNR) of a corresponding subband among the plurality of subbands, wherein each of the plurality of subbands includes at least one resource block (RB), and each of the at least one RB includes a plurality of subcarriers; and

transmitting, to the base station, the feedback information including the plurality of filter indexes and a plurality of filter quality information (FQI) values corresponding respectively to the plurality of filter indexes,

wherein the SLNR is calculated based on following equation,
