Abstract

Disclosed are a method for transmitting and receiving channel state information between a terminal and a base station in a wireless communication system and an apparatus supporting same. According to an embodiment applicable to the present invention, a terminal may receive, from a base station, configuration information related to a first channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource for measurement, measure channel state information using a CSI-RS transmitted from a neighbor cell on the basis of the configuration information, and transmit the measured channel state information to the base station.

Claims (40)

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

receiving configuration information related to a first channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource for measurement, wherein the configuration information includes quasi co-location (QCL) information between the first CSI-RS resource and a second CSI-RS resource related to a neighboring cell;

receiving a CSI-RS from the neighboring cell based on a timing of the CSI-RS determined based on the QCL information and the configuration information; and

reporting the CSI measured based on the received CSI-RS to a serving cell,

wherein, based on synchronization signal block (SSB) information related to the second CSI-RS resource being configured, the timing of the CSI-RS is determined with respect to a cell configured in relation to the second CSI-RS resource.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the SSB information related to the second CSI-RS resource being not configured and reference serving cell information related to the second CSI-RS resource being configured, the timing of the CSI-RS is determined with respect to a cell determined based on the reference serving cell information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on the SSB information related to the second CSI-RS resource is not configured and reference serving cell information related to the second CSI-RS resource is not configured, a timing of the neighboring cell is determined with respect to the serving cell connected to the UE.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the QCL information includes at least one of:

QCL type A information notifying that the first CSI-RS resource and the second CSI-RS resource are quasi co-located (QCL) in terms of a Doppler shift, a Doppler spread, an average delay and a delay spread,

QCL type B information notifying that the first CSI-RS resource and the second CSI-RS resource are QCL in terms of the Doppler shift and the Doppler spread,

QCL type C information notifying that the first CSI-RS resource and the second CSI-RS resource are QCL in terms of the Doppler shift and the average delay, or

QCL type D information notifying that the first CSI-RS resource and the second CSI-RS resource are QCL in terms of a spatial reception (Rx) parameter.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein based on that the QCL information includes the QCL type C information, receiving the CSI-RS transmitted from the neighboring cell based on the QCL information comprises receiving the CSI-RS transmitted from the neighboring cell based on Doppler shift information and average delay information related to the second CSI-RS resource.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein based on that the QCL information includes the QCL type D information, receiving the CSI-RS transmitted from the neighboring cell based on the QCL information comprises receiving the CSI-RS transmitted from the neighboring cell based on Rx beam information related to the second CSI-RS resource.

7. The method of claim 4 , wherein based on that the QCL information includes the QCL type C information and the QCL type D information, receiving the CSI-RS transmitted from the neighboring cell based on the QCL information comprises receiving the CSI-RS transmitted from the neighboring cell based on Doppler shift information, average delay information, and Rx beam information related to the second CSI-RS resource.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS is received from the neighboring cell based on a resource configuration related to the first CSI-RS resource.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS is received from the neighboring cell based on a resource configuration related to the second CSI-RS resource.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the resource configuration related to the second CSI-RS resource includes at least one of a time resource configuration related to the second CSI-RS resource, a frequency resource configuration related to the second CSI-RS resource, or a numerology configuration related to the second CSI-RS resource.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI-RS is received from the neighboring cell based on a resource configuration satisfying both a first resource configuration related to the first CSI-RS resource and a second resource configuration related to the second CSI-RS resource.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the CSI-RS is received from the neighboring cell based on a frequency resource in which a first frequency resource related to the first CSI-RS resource included in the first resource configuration overlaps with a second frequency resource related to the second CSI-RS resource included in the second resource configuration.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information is received through higher layer signaling.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CSI-RS resource is a non-zero power (NZP) CSI-RS resource or a channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second CSI-RS resource is a CSI-RS resource for radio resource management (RRM).

16. A user equipment (UE) for reporting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one radio frequency (RF) module;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving configuration information related to a first channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource for measurement by controlling the at least one RF module, wherein the configuration information includes quasi co-location (QCL) information between the first CSI-RS resource and a second CSI-RS resource related to a neighboring cell;

receiving a CSI-RS from the neighboring cell based on a timing of the CSI-RS determined based on the QCL information and the configuration information by controlling the at least one RF module; and

wherein, based on synchronization signal block (SSB) information related to the second CSI-RS resource being configured, the timing of the CSI-RS is determined with respect to a cell configured in relation to the second CSI-RS resource.

17. The UE of claim 16 , wherein the UE communicates with at least one of a mobile terminal, a network, or an autonomous driving vehicle except a vehicle including the UE.

18. A base station for receiving channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

at least one radio frequency (RF) module;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

transmitting configuration information related to a first channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource for measurement to a user equipment (UE) by controlling the at least one RF module, wherein the configuration information includes quasi co-location (QCL) information between the first CSI-RS resource and a second CSI-RS resource related to a neighboring cell; and
