Abstract

Disclosed are a method for transmitting and receiving a channel state information reference signal in a wireless communication system and a device therefor. Specifically, a method for transmitting, by a base station, a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a wireless communication system includes: transmitting configuration information of the CSI-RS to user equipment (UE); and transmitting, to the UE, the CSI-RS through one or more antenna ports, in which the position of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol for transmitting the CSI-RS may be configured by the configuration information, and the position of a resource element (RE) for transmitting the CSI-RS may be determined by M RE units (M is 1 and/or 2 and/or 4 and/or 8).

Claims (20)

1. A method of transmitting, by a base station, a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting configuration information of the CSI-RS to user equipment (UE); and

transmitting, to the UE, the CSI-RS through one or more antenna ports,

wherein a position of at least a first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol and/or a second OFDM symbol among one or more OFDM symbols for transmitting the CSI-RS is configured by the configuration information, and

wherein a position of one or more resource elements (REs) for transmitting the CSI-RS through each of the one or more antenna ports is determined by a unit of M RE, where M is one of 1, 2, 4, 8 based on the position of the first OFDM symbol and/or the second OFDM symbol.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the M value is configured by the configuration information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS is transmitted by applying code division multiplexing (CDM) in a unit of the M RE.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the configuration information includes information on a pattern of the CDM, and

wherein the information on the pattern of the CDM includes information on whether a domain to which the CDM is applied is a time domain, a frequency domain, and/or a time-frequency domain.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the information on the pattern of the CDM includes information of a size of the unit of the M RE to which the CDM is applied.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein based on that a size of the unit of the M RE to which the CDM is applied is 4 REs, time/frequency domain CDM by 2 REs and frequency/time domain CDM by 2 REs are combined to apply the CDM to the 4 REs.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein based on that a size of the unit of the M RE to which the CDM is applied is 8 REs, time/frequency domain CDM by 2 REs and frequency/time domain CDM-4 by 4 REs are combined to apply the CDM to the 8 REs.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on that a size of the unit of the M RE to is 1 RE, code division multiplexing (CDM) is not applied for transmitting the CSI-RS.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein a density d value of the CSI-RS is configured by the configuration information.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS is not transmitted in one or more REs overlapped with a demodulation reference signal (DMRS).

11. A method for receiving, by user equipment (UE), a channel state information-reference signal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information of the CSI-RS; and

receiving, from the base station, the CSI-RS through one or more antenna ports,

wherein a position of at least of first orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol and/or a second OFDM symbol among one or more OFDM symbols for transmitting the CSI-RS is configured by the configuration information, and

wherein a position of one or more resource elements (REs) for transmitting the CSI-RS through each of the one or more antenna ports is determined by a unit of M RE, where M is one of 1, 2, 4, 8, based on the position of the first OFDM symbol and/or the second OFDM symbol.
