Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique for combining a 5G communications system that supports higher data transmission rates after 4G systems with IoT technology, and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services based on 5G communications technology and IoT related technology (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail businesses, security and safety related services, and the like). The method for a terminal according to the present invention is characterized by comprising the steps of: receiving a reference signal; generating channel state information by means of a circular application of a precoding matrix for each resource element; and transmitting the channel state information to a base station.

Claims (44)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, information on a physical resource block (PRB) bundling size for channel state information (CSI) codebook subset restriction information, information for wideband or subband, and CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) related information;

obtaining a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI) associated with a CSI-RS in case that a precoder is defined by the first PMI and a second PMI and a mode for transmitting only the first PMI among the first PMI and the second PMI is configured;

transmitting, to the base station, a channel quality indicator (CQI) and only the first PMI among the first PMI and the second PMI; and

receiving, from the base station, data,

wherein the precoder is defined for a precoder resource block group (PRG), and

wherein a size of the PRG is determined based on the information on the PRB bundling size.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information on the PRB bundling size indicates a number of PRBs for the PRG.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information on the PRB bundling size, the codebook subset restriction information, the information for wideband or subband, and the CSI-RS related information are received via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS related information includes information on resources on which the CSI-RS is transmitted.

5. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, information on a physical resource block (PRB) bundling size for channel status information (CSI) codebook subset restriction information, information for wideband or subband, and CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) related information;

receiving, from the terminal, a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI) associated with a CSI-RS and a channel quality indicator (COI) in case that a precoder is defined by the first PMI and a second PMI and a mode for receiving only the first PMI among the first PMI and the second PMI is configured; and

transmitting, to the terminal, data,

wherein the precoder is defined for a precoder resource block group (PRG), and

wherein a size of the PRG is determined based on the information on the PRB bundling size.

6. The method of claim 5 ,

wherein the information on the PRB bundling size indicates a number of PRBs for the PRG.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the information on the PRB bundling size, the codebook subset restriction information, the information for wideband or subband, and the CSI-RS related information are received via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, and

wherein the CSI-RS related information includes information on resources on which the CSI-RS is transmitted.

8. A terminal in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

receive, from a base station, information on a physical resource block (PRB) bundling size for channel state information (CSI) codebook subset restriction information, information for wideband or subband, and CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) related information,

obtain a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI) associated with a CSI-RS in case that a precoder is defined by the first PMI and a second PMI and a mode for transmitting only the first PMI among the first PMI and the second PMI is configured,

transmit, to the base station, only the first PMI among the first PMI and the second PMI, and a channel quality indicator (COI), and

receive, from the base station, data,

wherein the precoder is defined for a precoder resource block group (PRG), and

wherein a size of the PRG is determined based on the information on the PRB bundling size.

9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the

information on the PRB bundling size indicates a number of PRBs for the PRG.

10. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the information on the PRB bundling size, the codebook subset restriction information, the information for wideband or subband, and the CSI-RS related information are received via radio resource control (RRC).

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the CSI-RS related information includes information on resources on which the CSI-RS is transmitted.

12. A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, information on a physical resource block (PRB) bundling size for channel status information (CSI) codebook subset restriction information, information for wideband or subband, and CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) related information,

receive, from the terminal, a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI) associated with a CSI-RS and a channel quality indicator (COI) in case that a precoder is defined by the first PMI and a second PMI and a mode for receiving only the first PMI among the first PMI and the second PMI is configured, and

transmit, to the terminal, data,

wherein the precoder is defined for a precoder resource block group (PRG), and

wherein a size of the PRG is determined based on the information on the PRB bundling size.

13. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the information on the PRB bundling size indicates a number of PRBs for the PRG.

14. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the information on the PRB bundling size, the codebook subset restriction information, the information for wideband or subband, and the CSI-RS related information are received via radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

15. The base station of claim 12 , wherein the CSI-RS related information includes information on resources on which the CSI-RS is transmitted.
