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. The disclosure relates to a method for processing a control signal in a wireless communication system, and relates to a control signal processing method including: receiving a first control signal transmitted from the base station; processing the received first control signal; and transmitting a second control signal generated based on the processing to the base station.

Claims (60)

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

receiving, from a base station, resource configuration information for channel state information (CSI), wherein a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resource set including a plurality of CSI-RS resources for a channel measurement is configured based on the resource configuration information, and 2 sets of non-zero power (NZP) CSI-RS resources for non-coherent joint transmission (NC-JT) CSI measurement are configured within the CSI-RS resource set;

measuring NC-JT CSI for multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) based on the at least one of the 2 sets within the CSI-RS resource set; and

transmitting, to the base station, a CSI report based on the measured NC-JT CSI,

wherein each of the 2 sets comprises at least two NZP CSI-RS resources, among the plurality of CSI-RS resources within the CSI-RS resource set, and

wherein a same NZP CSI-RS resource is associated with the 2 sets.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

measuring CSI for a single TRP,

wherein the CSI report comprises CSI selected among the CSI for the single TRP and the NC-JT CSI for the multiple TRPs.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a number of CSI processing units (CPUs) for calculation of the NC-JT CSI measured based on the at least one of the 2 sets,

wherein the number of CPUs for calculation of the NC-JT CSI is proportional to a number of NZP CSI-RS resources included in each of the 2 sets, and

wherein the number of CPUs for the NC-JT CSI is occupied for calculation of the NC-JT CSI.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the base station, capability information of the terminal including information indicating whether the NC-JT CSI is supported by the terminal.

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

transmitting, to a terminal, resource configuration information for channel state information (CSI); and

measure NC-JT CSI for multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) based on the at least one of the 2 sets within the CSI-RS resource set; and

transmit, to the base station, a CSI report based on the measured NC-JT CSI,

wherein each of the 2 sets comprises at least two NZP CSI-RS resources, among the plurality of CSI-RS resources within the CSI-RS resource set, and

wherein a same NZP CSI-RS resource is associated with the 2 sets.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

measure CSI for a single TRP,

wherein the CSI report comprises CSI selected among the CSI for the single TRP and the NC-JT CSI for the multiple TRPs.

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

identify a number of CSI processing units (CPUs) for calculation of the NC-JT CSI measured based on the at least one of the 2 sets,

wherein the number of CPUs for calculation of the NC-JT CSI is proportional to a number of NZP CSI-RS resources included in each of the 2 sets, and

wherein the number of CPUs for the NC-JT CSI is occupied for calculation of the NC-JT CSI.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

transmit, to the base station, capability information of the terminal including information indicating whether the NC-JT CSI is supported by the terminal.

13. A base station comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit and receive at least one signal; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver, the controller configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, resource configuration information for channel state information (CSI); and

receive, from the terminal, a CSI report based on non-coherent joint transmission (NC-JT) CSI for multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs),
