Abstract

A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system includes: receiving, from a base station, configuration information associated with a channel state information (CSI) report including at least one information associated with a CSI resource setting; receiving, from the base station, information associated with channel occupancy duration; determining whether at least one symbol for receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) is within channel occupancy duration, based on the at least one information associated with the CSI resource setting and the received information associated with the channel occupancy duration; receiving, from the base station, at least one CSI-RS on the at least one symbol, based on a result of the determining; and when the CSI report is determined to be transmitted, transmitting; to the base station, the CSI report based on the configuration information associated with the CSI report and the received at least one CSI-RS.

Claims (66)

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

receiving, from a base station (BS), channel state information (CSI) resource configuration information, CSI report configuration information, and information associated with channel occupancy duration;

performing a channel state information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) reception based on the CSI report configuration information;

identifying whether a downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception is valid or not based on the information associated with the channel occupancy duration;

in case that the downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception is not valid, cancelling the CSI-RS reception within the downlink resource; and

in case that the downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception is valid, receiving a CSI-RS for transmitting a CSI report, and transmitting, to the base station, the CSI report based on the received CSI-RS.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception is not valid in case that the downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception is not within a channel occupancy duration.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the BS, slot format indication information,

wherein a valid downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception includes a downlink symbol or a flexible symbol indicated by the slot format indication information.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein slot format indication information associated with the downlink resource is not provided to the terminal.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a CSI processing unit (CPU) occupation time regardless of the channel occupancy duration,

wherein the CSI report is transmitted based on the determined CPU occupation time.

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

transmitting, to a terminal, channel state information (CSI) resource configuration information for configuring the terminal to perform a channel state information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) reception, CSI report configuration information, and information associated with channel occupancy duration;

transmitting, to the terminal, one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) based on the CSI report configuration information; and

receiving, from the terminal, a CSI report based on at least one valid CSI-RS from the one OF more CSI-RSs,

wherein the at least one valid CSI-RS is determined based on the information associated with the channel occupancy duration.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein a CSI-RS is not valid in case that a downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception is not within a channel occupancy duration.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the terminal, slot format indication information,

wherein at least one downlink resource for the at least one valid CSI-RS includes a downlink symbol or a flexible symbol indicated by the slot format indication information.

9. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein slot format indication information associated with a downlink resource for the one or more CSI-RSs is not provided to the terminal.

10. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein a CSI processing unit (CPU) occupation time is determined regardless of the channel occupancy duration by the terminal; and

wherein the CSI report is transmitted based on the determined CPU occupation time.

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

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station (BS), channel state information (CSI) resource configuration information, CSI report configuration information, and information associated with channel occupancy duration,

perform a channel state information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) reception based on the CSI report configuration information,

identify whether a downlink resource for a CSI-RS is valid or not based on the information associated with the channel occupancy duration,

in case that the downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception is not valid, cancel the CSI-RS reception within the downlink resource, and

in case that the downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception is valid, receiving a CSI-RS for transmitting a CSI report, and transmitting, to the base station, the CSI report based on the received CSI-RS.

12. The terminal of claim 11 ,

wherein the downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception is not valid in case that the downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception is not within a channel occupancy duration.

13. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive, from the BS, slot format indication information,

wherein a valid downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception includes a downlink symbol or a flexible symbol indicated by the slot format indication information.

14. The terminal of claim 11 ,

wherein slot format indication information associated with the downlink resource is not provided to the terminal.

15. The terminal of claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

determine a CSI processing unit (CPU) occupation time regardless of the channel occupancy duration,

wherein the CSI report is transmitted based on the determined CPU occupation time.

16. A base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, channel state information (CSI) resource configuration information for configuring the terminal to perform a channel state information Reference Signal (CSI-RS) reception, CSI report configuration information, and information associated with channel occupancy duration,

transmit, to the terminal, one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs) based on the CSI report configuration information, and

receive, from the terminal, a CSI report based on at least one valid CSI-RS from the one or more CSI-RSs,

wherein the at least one valid CSI-RS is determined based on the information associated with the channel occupancy duration.

17. The BS of claim 16 ,

wherein a CSI-RS is not valid in case that a downlink resource for the CSI-RS reception is not within a channel occupancy duration.

18. The BS of claim 16 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

transmit, to the terminal, slot format indication information,

wherein at least one downlink resource for the at least one valid CSI-RS includes a downlink symbol or a flexible symbol indicated by the slot format indication information.

19. The BS of claim 16 ,

wherein slot format indication information associated with a downlink resource for the one OF more CSI-RSs is not provided to the terminal.

20. The BS of claim 16 ,

wherein a CSI processing unit (CPU) occupation time is determined regardless of the channel occupancy duration by the terminal; and

wherein the CSI report is transmitted based on the determined CPU occupation time.
