Abstract

A method for reporting a channel state in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method being performed by a terminal, and comprising the steps of: the terminal receiving a channel state reporting-related configuration with respect to a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) that are performing BWP adaptation or switching; and reporting channel state information with respect to the plurality of BWPs according to the received configuration, wherein the channel state information with respect to the plurality of BWPs includes channel state information with respect to BWPs that are not activated, the plurality of BWPs include a first BWP and a second BWP of which at least a part is overlapped with the first BWP and which has a smaller size than the first BWP, the size of a sub-band of the first BWP corresponds to a multiple of the size of a sub-band of the second BWP, and the sub-band of the first BWP can completely include the sub-band of the second BWP.

Claims (34)

1. A method of reporting a channel state by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving a configuration related to channel state information (CSI) for a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) including a first BWP and a second BWP,

wherein the configuration includes information related to at least one threshold and at least one sub-band size parameter, and

wherein each of the plurality of BWPs includes a plurality of sub-bands;

obtaining a sub-band CSI for each of a plurality of first sub-bands of the first BWP;

comparing difference values of the sub-band CSIs to a corresponding threshold of the at least one threshold;

determining a sub-band size parameter, from among the at least one sub-band size parameter, based on a result of the comparison between each difference value of the sub-band CSIs and the corresponding threshold;

determining a size of second sub-bands of the second BWP based on the determined sub-band size parameter;

reporting CSIs for the first sub-bands of the first BWP;

switching an active BWP from the first BWP to the second BWP; and

measuring CSI for the second BWP based on the second sub-bands of the second BWP having the determined size based on the sub-band size parameter,

wherein the second BWP at least partially overlaps the first BWP and is smaller than the first BWP, wherein a size of the first sub-bands is a multiple of a size of the second sub-bands, and wherein the first sub-bands fully include the second sub-bands.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein CSI for the first BWP includes CSI for the first sub-bands overlapped with the second sub-bands.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the CSI for the first BWP includes a difference between the CSI for the first sub-bands overlapping the second sub-bands and CSI for the second sub-bands.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein CSI for the first BWP includes CSI for the first sub-bands, except for a part overlapping with the second sub-bands.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein CSI for the first BWP includes CSI for the second sub-bands overlapping the first sub-bands.

6. A user equipment (UE) for performing channel measurement in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to control the transceiver,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a configuration related to channel state reporting information (CSI) for a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) including a first BWP and a second BWP,

wherein the configuration includes information related to at least one threshold and at least one sub-band size parameter,

wherein each of the plurality of BWPs includes a plurality of sub-bands;

obtain a sub-band CSI for each of a plurality of first sub-bands of the first BWP;

compare difference values of the sub-band CSIs to a corresponding threshold of the at least one threshold;

determine a sub-band size parameter, from among the at least one sub-band size parameter, based on a result of the comparison between each difference value of the sub-band CSIs and the corresponding threshold;

determine a size of second sub-bands of the second BWP based on the determined sub-band size parameter, and

report CSIs for the first sub-bands of the first BWP;

switch an active BWP from the first BWP to the second BWP,

wherein the second BWP at least partially overlaps the first BWP and is smaller than the first BWP, wherein a size of the first sub-bands is a multiple of a size of the second sub-bands, and wherein the first sub-bands fully include the second sub-bands.

7. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein CSI for the first BWP includes CSI for the first sub-bands overlapped with the second sub-bands.

8. The UE according to claim 7 , wherein the CSI for the first BWP includes a difference between the CSI for the first sub-bands overlapping the second sub-bands and CSI for the second sub-bands.

9. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein CSI for the first BWP includes CSI for the first sub-bands, except for a part overlapping the second sub-bands.

10. The UE according to claim 6 , wherein CSI for the first BWP includes CSI for the second sub-bands overlapping the first sub-bands.
