Method for feeding back CSI information in wireless communication system and device therefor
A method and device for feeding back channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system applied three-dimensional (3D) beamforming. The method includes: receiving a pilot signal (reference signal) from a base station; configuring a CSI transmission mode in one of a first transmission mode and a second transmission mode based on motion information of the UE; and feeding back the CSI based on the configured CSI transmission mode. The first transmission mode transmits the CSI including precoding matrix index (PMI) information for one of vertical beamforming or horizontal beamforming. The second transmission mode transmits the CSI including PMI information for both vertical beamforming and horizontal beamforming.
