Abstract

The present specification provides a method for handling a collision between a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the method performed by a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving a DMRS from a base station; receiving a CSI-RS from the base station; and when a collision between the DMRS and the CSI-RS occurs on at least one resource element (RE), puncturing a resource associated with the DMRS, or a resource associated with the CSI-RS on the basis of time domain behavior of the CSI-RS.

Claims (48)

1. A method for handling a collision between a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving the DMRS from a base station;

receiving the CSI-RS from the base station; and

based on a collision occurring between the DMRS and the CSI-RS in at least one resource element (RE), puncturing a resource based on a time domain behavior of the CSI-RS,

wherein, based on the time domain behavior of the CSI-RS being of an aperiodic CSI-RS, a resource related to the CSI-RS is punctured, and

wherein, based on the time domain behavior of the CSI-RS being of a periodic or a semi-persistent (SP) CSI-RS, a resource related to the DMRS is punctured.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein

puncturing the resource related to the CSI-RS includes:

performing measurement based on a CSI-RS received in a resource which does not include the at least one RE; and

reporting information for the measurement to the base station.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein

the information for the measurement includes information related to the collision.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein

the resource related to the CSI-RS is a CSI-RS RE that has a code division multiplexed (CDM) relationship, in at least one of a time domain or a frequency domain, with the at least one RE.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein

information related to the collision includes at least one of Q) information for a number of antenna ports where the collision does not occur or (ii) information indicating that a collision has occurred in the resource related to the CSI-RS.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein

puncturing the resource related to the DMRS includes:

performing demodulation based on a DMRS received in a resource that does not include the at least one RE.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising

receiving information related to an additional DMRS configuration from the base station.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein

the additional DMRS configuration is determined based on a number of DMRS symbols where the collision has occurred.

9. A UE for handling a collision between a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) and a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a radio frequency (RF) module for transmitting/receiving a radio signal; and

a processor functionally connected with the RF module, wherein the processor is configured to:

receive the DMRS from a base station;

receive the CSI-RS from the base station; and

based on a collision occurring between the DMRS and the CSI-RS in at least one resource element (RE), puncture a resource based on a time domain behavior of the CSI-RS,

wherein, based on the time domain behavior of the CSI-RS being of an aperiodic CSI-RS, a resource related to the CSI-RS is punctured, and

wherein, based on the time domain behavior of the CSI-RS being of a periodic or a semi-persistent (SP) CSI-RS, a resource related to the DMRS is punctured.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein

puncturing the resource related to the CSI-RS includes:

performing measurement based on a CSI-RS received in a resource which does not include the at least one RE; and

reporting information for the measurement to the base station.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein

the information for the measurement includes information related to the collision.

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein

the resource related to the CSI-RS is a CSI-RS RE that has a code division multiplexed (CDM) relationship, in at least one of a time domain or a frequency domain, with the at least one RE.

13. The UE of claim 12 , wherein

information related to the collision includes at least one of (i) information for a number of antenna ports where the collision does not occur or (ii) information indicating that a collision has occurred in the resource related to the CSI-RS.

14. The UE of claim 9 , wherein

puncturing the resource related to the DMRS includes:

performing demodulation based on a DMRS received in a resource that does not include the at least one RE.

15. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive information related to an additional DMRS configuration from the base station.

16. The UE of claim 15 , wherein

the additional DMRS configuration is determined based on a number of DMRS symbols where the collision has occurred.
