Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5 th -Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4 th -Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method for CSI reporting at a UE and the corresponding UE.

Claims (62)

1. A method performed by a terminal supporting a narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a system information block (SIB) including first information indicating a report of downlink channel quality;

generating a result of a downlink channel quality measurement performed based on the first information included in the SIB; and

transmitting, to the base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message which is a message 3 (MSG3) of a random access procedure, the RRC message including second information corresponding to the result,

wherein the second information includes information on a minimum NB-IoT physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) repetition level which satisfies a predetermined block error rate (BLER), and

wherein the second information includes a value indicating that no information is reported for the downlink channel quality measurement.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the SIB is associated with an NB-IoT system, and

wherein the RRC message comprises an RRC connection request message, an RRC connection resume request message, or an RRC connection reestablishment request message.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the value includes two bits being all 0,

wherein a value of the two bits other than all 0 indicates the result, and

wherein a number of the two bits is different for different RRC messages.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the two bits respectively indicate four states.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the four states are related to a maximum number of the PDCCH repetition level (Rmax).

6. A method performed by a base station supporting a narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, a system information block (SIB) including first information indicating a report of downlink channel quality; and

receiving, from the terminal, a radio resource control (RRC) message which is a message 3 (MSG3) of a random access procedure, the RRC message including second information corresponding to a result of a downlink channel quality measurement based on the first information included in the SIB,

wherein the second information includes information on a minimum NB-IoT physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) repetition level which satisfies a predetermined block error rate (BLER), and

wherein the second information includes a value indicating that no information is reported for the downlink channel quality measurement.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the SIB is associated with an NB-IoT system, and

wherein the RRC message comprises an RRC connection request message, an RRC connection resume request message, or an RRC connection reestablishment request message.

8. The method of claim 7 ,

wherein the value includes two bits being all 0,

wherein a value of the two bits other than all 0 indicates the result, and

wherein a number of the two bits is different for different RRC messages.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the two bits respectively indicate four states.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the four states are related to a maximum number of the PDCCH repetition level (Rmax).

11. A terminal supporting a narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) in a wireless communication system, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit or receive a signal; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, a system information block (SIB) including first information indicating a report of downlink channel quality,

generate a result of a downlink channel quality measurement performed based on the first information included in the SIB, and

transmit, to the base station, a radio resource control (RRC) message which is a message 3 (MSG3) of a random access procedure, the RRC message including second information corresponding to the result,

wherein the second information includes information on a minimum NB-IoT physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) repetition level which satisfies a predetermined block error rate (BLER), and

wherein the second information includes a value indicating that no information is reported for the downlink channel quality measurement.

12. The terminal of claim 11 ,

wherein the SIB is associated with an NB-IoT system, and

wherein the RRC message comprises an RRC connection request message, an RRC connection resume request message, or an RRC connection reestablishment request message.

13. The terminal of claim 12 ,

wherein the value includes two bits being all 0,

wherein a value of the two bits other than all 0 indicates the result, and

wherein a number of the two bits is different for different RRC messages.

14. The terminal of claim 13 , wherein the two bits respectively indicate four states.

15. The terminal of claim 14 , wherein the four states are related to a maximum number of the PDCCH repetition level (Rmax).

16. A base station supporting a narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit or receive a signal; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, a system information block (SIB) including first information indicating a report of downlink channel quality, and

receive, from the terminal, a radio resource control (RRC) message which is a message 3 (MSG3) of a random access procedure, the RRC message including second information corresponding to a result of a downlink channel quality measurement based on the first information included in the SIB,

wherein the second information includes information on a minimum NB-IoT physical downlink control channel (NPDCCH) repetition level which satisfies a predetermined block error rate (BLER), and

wherein the second information includes a value indicating that no information is reported for the downlink channel quality measurement.

17. The base station of claim 16 ,

wherein the SIB is associated with an NB-IoT system, and

wherein the RRC message comprises an RRC connection request message, an RRC connection resume request message, or an RRC connection reestablishment request message.

18. The base station of claim 16 ,

wherein the value includes two bits being all 0,

wherein a value of the two bits other than all 0 indicates the result, and

wherein a number of the two bits is different for different RRC messages.

19. The base station of claim 18 , wherein the two bits respectively indicate four states.

20. The base station of claim 19 , wherein the four states are related to a maximum number of the PDCCH repetition level (Rmax).
