Abstract

A channel state reporting method based on a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, may comprise the steps of: receiving a CSI-RS configuration associated with a partial band occupying a frequency band configured with a single numerology; and when CSI-RS configurations for multiple partial bands are included in the CSI-RS configuration, configuring the respective multiple partial bands with numerologies that are different from each other, and according to the CSI-RS configuration associated with the partial band, transmitting CSI information derived from a CSI-RS transmitted from the partial band.

Claims (31)

1. A method for reporting channel state information (CSI) based on a CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a plurality of CSI configurations from a single network node, wherein each of the plurality of CSI configurations includes information regarding (i) a period and (ii) a measurement resource;

receiving a trigger signal for the plurality of CSI configurations to determine, among the plurality of CSI configurations, a first CSI configuration including information regarding (i) a first period and (ii) a first measurement resource, wherein the trigger signal includes a stage index indicating one of (i) no trigger, (ii) a digital beam selection, (iii) a partial band selection, or (iv) a CSI tracking;

receiving the CSI-RS on the first measurement resource; and

transmitting a CSI report for the first measurement resource with the first period, according to the first CSI configuration determined based on the trigger signal not having the stage index indicating (i) no trigger,

wherein the CSI report includes information based on the stage index of the trigger signal.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CSI report is transmitted with the first period on the same uplink resource.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CSI report is transmitted on a physical uplink control channel.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the CSI configurations is related to a partial band occupying a frequency band configured with a single numerology, and includes information about a bandwidth or a frequency position.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the CSI configurations includes configurations for a plurality of partial bands, and each of the plurality of partial bands is a frequency band in which one transport block is transmitted.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, based on the first CSI configuration including configurations for a plurality of partial bands, at least a part of the plurality of partial bands overlaps with each other.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the at least part of the plurality of partial bands is time-division multiplexed.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the transmitted CSI report includes CSI derived independently from each of the plurality of partial bands related to the CSI report.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein each of the CSI-RS configurations related to a partial band related to the CSI report is received by higher-layer signaling.

10. A terminal configured to report channel state information (CSI) based on a CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transmitter and a receiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:

receiving, through the receiver, a plurality of CSI configurations from a single network node, wherein each of the plurality of CSI configuration includes information regarding (i) a period and (ii) a measurement resource;

receiving, through the receiver, a trigger signal for the plurality of CSI configurations to determine, among the plurality of CSI configurations, a first CSI configuration including information regarding (i) a first period and (ii) a first measurement resource, wherein the trigger signal includes a stage index indicating one of (i) no trigger, (ii) a digital beam selection, (iii) a partial band selection, or (iv) a CSI tracking;

receiving, through the receiver, the CSI-RS on the first measurement resource; and

transmitting, through the transmitter, a CSI report for the first measurement resource with the first period, according to the first CSI configuration determined based on the trigger signal not having the stage index indicating (i) no trigger,

wherein the CSI report includes information based on the stage index of the trigger signal.

11. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the CSI report is transmitted with the first period on the same uplink resource.

12. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein the CSI report is transmitted on a physical uplink control channel.

13. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein each of the CSI configurations is related to a partial band occupying a frequency band configured with a single numerology, and includes information about a bandwidth or a frequency position.

14. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein each of the CSI configurations includes configurations for a plurality of partial bands, and each of the plurality of partial bands is a frequency band in which one transport block is transmitted.

15. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein, based on the first CSI configuration including configurations for a plurality of partial bands, at least a part of the plurality of partial bands overlap with each other.

16. The terminal according to claim 15 , wherein the at least part of the plurality of partial bands is time-division multiplexed.

17. The terminal according to claim 15 , wherein the transmitted CSI report includes CSI derived independently from each of the plurality of partial bands related to the CSI report.

18. The terminal according to claim 10 , wherein each of the CSI-RS configurations related to a partial band related to the CSI report is received by higher-layer signaling.
