Abstract

A method and apparatus are provided for reporting channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE). The method includes identifying two interference measurement resources, if the UE is configured with two CSI subframe sets by a base station (BS); obtaining CSI based on an interference measurement resource within a subframe set; and reporting the obtained CSI associated with the subframe set to the BS.

Claims (40)

1. A method for reporting channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), first configuration information configuring a first subframe set and a second subframe set;

receiving, from the BS, second configuration information configuring a first interference measurement resource (IMR) for the first subframe set and a second IMR for the second subframe set, the second configuration information including a subframe configuration and a resource configuration; and

receiving, from the BS, third configuration information on a zero-power (ZP) CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuring a first ZP CSI-RS resource and a second ZP CSI-RS resource,

wherein the subframe configuration includes first subframe configuration and second subframe configuration, and the resource configuration includes first resource configuration and second resource configuration,

wherein the first IMR is configured based on a first subframe offset and resource elements (REs), the first subframe offset being indicated by the first subframe configuration, the REs of the first IMR being configured based on the first resource configuration,

wherein the second IMR is configured based on a second subframe offset and REs, the second subframe offset being indicated by the second subframe configuration, the REs of the second IMR being configured based on the second resource configuration,

wherein the third configuration information is used to determine a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) RE mapping, and

wherein the first ZP CSI-RS resource includes the first IMR and the second ZP CSI-RS resource includes the second IMR.

2. A user equipment (UE) for reporting channel state information (CSI), the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to control to:

receive, from a base station (BS), first configuration information configuring a first subframe set and a second subframe set,

receive, from the BS, second configuration information configuring a first interference measurement resource (IMR) for the first subframe set and a second IMR for the second subframe set, the second configuration information including a subframe configuration and a resource configuration, and

receive, from the BS, third configuration information on a zero-power (ZP) CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuring a first ZP CSI-RS resource and a second ZP CSI-RS resource,

wherein the subframe configuration includes first subframe configuration and second subframe configuration, and the resource configuration includes first resource configuration and second resource configuration,

wherein the first IMR is configured based on a first subframe offset and resource elements (REs), the first subframe offset being indicated by the first subframe configuration, the REs of the first IMR being configured based on the first resource configuration,

wherein the second IMR is configured based on a second subframe offset and REs, the second subframe offset being indicated by the second subframe configuration, the REs of the second IMR being configured based on the second resource configuration,

wherein the third configuration information is used to determine a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) RE mapping, and

wherein the first ZP CSI-RS resource includes the first IMR and the second ZP CSI-RS resource includes the second IMR.

3. A method for receiving, by a base station (BS), channel state information (CSI), the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), first configuration information configuring a first subframe set and a second subframe set;

transmitting, to the UE, second configuration information configuring a first interference measurement resource (IMR) for the first subframe set and a second IMR for the second subframe set, the second configuration information including a subframe configuration and a resource configuration, and

transmitting, to the UE, third configuration information on a zero-power (ZP) CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuring a first ZP CSI-RS resource and a second ZP CSI-RS resource,

wherein the subframe configuration includes first subframe configuration and second subframe configuration, and the resource configuration includes first resource configuration and second resource configuration,

wherein a first IMR is configured based on a first subframe offset and resource elements (REs), the first subframe offset being indicated by the first subframe configuration, the REs of the first IMR being configured based on the first resource configuration,

wherein a second IMR is configured based on a second subframe offset and REs, the second subframe offset being indicated by the second subframe configuration, the REs of the second IMR being configured based on the second resource configuration,

wherein the third configuration information is used to determine a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) RE mapping, and

wherein the first ZP CSI-RS resource includes the first IMR and the second ZP CSI-RS resource includes the second IMR.

4. A base station (BS) for receiving a report of channel state information (CSI), the BS comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver, wherein the at least one processor is configured to control to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), first configuration information configuring a first subframe set and a second subframe set,

transmit, to the UE, second configuration information configuring a first interference measurement resource (IMR) for the first subframe set and a second IMR for the second subframe set, the second configuration information including subframe configuration and resource configuration, and

transmit, to the UE, third configuration information on a zero-power (ZP) CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) configuring a first ZP CSI-RS resource and a second ZP CSI-RS resource,

wherein the subframe configuration includes first subframe configuration and second subframe configuration, and the resource configuration includes first resource configuration and second resource configuration,

wherein a first IMR is configured based on a first subframe offset and resource elements (REs), the first subframe offset being indicated by the first subframe configuration, the REs of the first IMR being configured based on the first resource configuration,

wherein a second IMR is configured based on a second subframe offset and REs, the second subframe offset being indicated by the second subframe configuration, the REs of the second IMR being configured based on the second resource configuration,

wherein the third configuration information is used to determine a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) RE mapping, and

wherein the first ZP CSI-RS resource includes the first IMR and the second ZP CSI-RS resource includes the second IMR.
