Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for transmitting and receiving measurement reference signal (MRS) configurations in a wireless communication system. A method includes transmitting to a user equipment (UE), or receiving from a base station, information on MRS configurations that include information on an identity of an MRS, information on a set of large-scale channel properties associated with a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and information on a bandwidth for the MRS. The method further includes transmitting to the UE, or receiving from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the PDSCH and indicating an MRS configuration for the PDSCH. The set of large-scale channel properties include, based on type, one or more of doppler shift, doppler spread, average delay, and delay spread.

Claims (36)

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

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information on one or more measurement reference signal (MRS) configurations, wherein each of the one or more MRS configurations includes first information on an identity of an MRS, second information on a set of large-scale channel properties associated with a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and third information on a bandwidth for the MRS; and

transmitting, to the UE on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the PDSCH, the DCI including information indicating an MRS configuration for the PDSCH among the one or more MRS configurations,

wherein, in case that the set of large-scale channel properties is a first type, the set of large-scale channel properties includes doppler shift, doppler spread, average delay, and delay spread, and

wherein, in case that the set of large-scale channel properties is a second type, the set of large-scale channel properties includes doppler shift and doppler spread.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MRS comprises a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first information corresponds to a resource location and a scrambling identity for the MRS.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, to the UE, the DMRS of the PDSCH.

5. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information on one or more measurement reference signal (MRS) configurations, wherein each of the one or more MRS configurations includes first information on an identity of an MRS, second information on a set of large-scale channel properties associated with a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and third information on a bandwidth for the MRS; and

receiving, from the base station on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the PDSCH, the DCI including information indicating an MRS configuration for the PDSCH among the one or more MRS configurations,

wherein, in case that the set of large-scale channel properties is a first type, the set of large-scale channel properties includes doppler shift, doppler spread, average delay, and delay spread, and

wherein, in case that the set of large-scale channel properties is a second type, the set of large-scale channel properties includes doppler shift and doppler spread.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the MRS comprises a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first information corresponds to a resource location and a scrambling identity for the MRS.

8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising receiving, from the base station, the DMRS of the PDSCH.

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

a processor; and

a transceiver operably coupled with the processor, the transceiver configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE) through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information on one or more measurement reference signal (MRS) configurations, wherein each of the one or more MRS configurations includes first information on an identity of an MRS, second information on a set of large-scale channel properties associated with a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and third information on a bandwidth for the MRS, and

transmit, to the UE via the transceiver on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the PDSCH, the DCI including information indicating an MRS configuration for the PDSCH among the one or more MRS configurations,

wherein, in case that the set of large-scale channel properties is a first type, the set of large-scale channel properties includes doppler shift, doppler spread, average delay, and delay spread, and

wherein, in case that the set of large-scale channel properties is a second type, the set of large-scale channel properties includes doppler shift and doppler spread.

10. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the MRS comprises a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

11. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the first information corresponds to a resource location and a scrambling identity for the MRS.

12. The base station of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit, to the UE, the DMRS of the PDSCH.

13. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a processor; and

a transceiver operably coupled with the processor, the transceiver configured to:

receive, from a base station through a radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information on one or more measurement reference signal (MRS) configurations, wherein each of the one or more MRS configurations includes first information on an identity of an MRS, second information on a set of large-scale channel properties associated with a quasi co-location (QCL) relationship for a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) of a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and third information on a bandwidth for the MRS, and

receive, from the base station via the transceiver on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the PDSCH, the DCI including information indicating an MRS configuration for the PDSCH among the one or more MRS configurations,

wherein, in case that the set of large-scale channel properties is a first type, the set of large-scale channel properties includes doppler shift, doppler spread, average delay, and delay spread, and

wherein, in case that the set of large-scale channel properties is a second type, the set of large-scale channel properties includes doppler shift and doppler spread.

14. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the MRS comprises a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

15. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the first information corresponds to a resource location and a scrambling identity for the MRS.

16. The UE of claim 13 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive, from the base station, the DMRS of the PDSCH.
