Abstract

A method for receiving a Reference Signal (RS) performed by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention may include receiving a first RS through a first antenna port; and receiving a second RS through a second antenna port which is Quasi Co-Located (QCL)-assumed with the first antenna port, the first and second antenna ports may be QCL-assumed for at least one QCL parameter, and the at least one QCL parameter may include a reception beam related parameter.

1. A method for receiving a Reference Signal (RS) performed by a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, through a Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling, Quasi Co-Location (QCL) configuration information including a plurality of QCL configuration parameter sets,

receiving a first RS through a first antenna port; and

receiving a second RS through a second antenna port based on QCL relationship between the first antenna port and the second antenna port,

wherein the QCL relationship is based on a specific QCL configuration parameter set among the plurality of QCL configuration parameter sets,

wherein candidate QCL configuration parameter sets related to the QCL relationship are determined among the plurality of QCL configuration parameter sets through L2 (Layer 2)/MAC (medium access control) layer signaling,

wherein the specific QCL configuration parameter set is determined among the candidate QCL configuration parameter sets through L1 (Layer 1)/PHY (Physical) layer signaling,

wherein the specific QCL configuration parameter set includes a spatial reception parameter which is related to a spatial property of a beam received by the UE.

2. The method for receiving an RS of claim 1 , wherein the spatial reception parameter is related to at least one of (i) a direction in which a beam is received by the UE, or (ii) a reception beam width.

3. The method for receiving an RS of claim 1 , wherein the second RS corresponds to an RS of a same type as the first RS or an RS of different type from the first RS.

4. The method for receiving an RS of claim 3 , when the first RS is a first Channel state information (CSI)-RS mapped to a first CSI-RS resource, and the second RS is a second CSI-RS mapped to a second CSI-RS resource which is different from the first CSI-RS resource,

wherein the first antenna port corresponding to the first CSI-RS resource and the second antenna port corresponding to the second CSI-RS resource are QCL-assumed for the spatial reception parameter.

5. The method for receiving an RS of claim 3 , when the first and second RSs are a same CSI-RS mapped to an identical CSI-RS resource,

wherein the first and second antenna ports corresponding to the identical CSI-RS resource are QCL-assumed for the spatial reception parameter.

6. The method for receiving an RS of claim 1 , wherein an RS type of the first RS is a CSI-RS and an RS type of the second RS is a Synchronization Signal (SS), and
