Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for reporting a channel state of a user equipment in a wireless communication system. The method may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, configuration information for measurement and reporting of a channel state, wherein the configuration information includes at least two from among a first value (L) indicating the number of beams to be reported via a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a second value (P CSI-RS ) indicating the number of ports of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and a third value (L CSI-RS ) indicating the number of beam ports to be used from among the number of ports of the CSI-RS; receiving, from the base station, one or more CSI-RSs that are transmitted via one or more beamformed ports; generating the PMI, on the basis of the result of measuring the received CSI-RSs, and the configuration information; and reporting, to the base station, CSI including the PMI.

Claims (52)

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

receiving, from a base station (BS), a radio resource control (RRC) message including first information on CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) ports and second information on the number of beams,

identifying a first value associated with the number of CSI-RS ports based on the first information, and a second value associated with the number of beams to be reported based on the second information;

receiving at least one CSI-RS from the BS;

generating a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) including codebook indices i 1 and i 2 based on the at least one CSI-RS, wherein the in includes third information in case that the first value and the second value are not equal, and the i 1 does not include the third information in case that the first value and the second value are equal; and

transmitting, to the BS, the CSI including the generated PMI,

wherein the RRC message further includes port selection information; and

wherein generating the PMI comprises: omitting, in the PMI, a codebook index i 1,6,1 related to basis information for frequency domain (FD) compression of the PMI based on the port selection information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the third information is determined based on the first value.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the codebook index in is related to a wideband PMI, and the codebook index i 2 is related to a subband PMI.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC message further includes port selection information; and

wherein generating the PMI comprises: omitting, in the PMI, a codebook index i 1,7,1 indicating a non-zero element bitmap based on the port selection information.

5 . A method of receiving channel state information (CSI) by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) message including first information on CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) ports and second information on the number of beams to be reported;

identifying a first value associated with the number of CSI-RS ports based on the first information, and a second value associated with the number of beams to be reported based on the second information;

transmitting at least one CSI-RS;

receiving, from the UE, the CSI including a precoding matrix indicator (PMI); and

obtaining codebook indices i 1 and i 2 included in the PMI, wherein the in includes third information in case that the first value and the second value are not equal, and the i 1 does not include the third information in case that the first value and the second value are equal,

wherein the RRC message further includes port selection information; and

wherein obtaining the codebook indices comprises deciding that the PMI does not include a codebook index i 1,6,1 related to basis information for frequency domain (FD) compression of the PMI based on the port selection information.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the third information is determined based on the first value.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the codebook index in is related to a wideband PMI, and the codebook index i 2 is related to a subband PMI.

8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the RRC message further includes port selection information; and

wherein obtaining the codebook indices comprises deciding that the PMI does not include a codebook index i 1,7,1 indicating a non-zero element bitmap based on the port selection information.

9 . A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station (BS), a radio resource control (RRC) message including first information on channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) ports and second information on the number of beams to be reported,

identifying a first value associated with the number of CSI-RS ports based on the first information, and a second value associated with the number of beams to be reported based on the second information,

receive at least one CSI-RS from the BS,

generate a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) including codebook indices i 1 and i 2 based on the at least one CSI-RS, wherein the i 1 includes third information in case that the first value and the second value are not equal, and the in does not include the third information in case that the first value and the second value are equal, and

transmit, to the BS, CSI including the generated PMI,

wherein the RRC message further includes port selection information; and

wherein the processor is configured to omit, in the PMI, a codebook index 11 , 6 , 1 related to basis information for frequency domain (FD) compression of the PMI based on the port selection information.

10 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the third information is determined based on the first value.

11 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the codebook index in is related to a wideband PMI, and the codebook index i 2 is related to a subband PMI.

12 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the RRC message further includes port selection information; and

wherein the processor is configured to omit, in the PMI, a codebook index i 1,7,1 indicating a non-zero element bitmap based on the port selection information.

13 . A base station (BS) comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a radio resource control (RRC) message including first information on CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) ports and second information on the number of beams to be reported,

identify a first value associated with the number of CSI-RS ports based on the first information, and a second value associated with the number of beams to be reported based on the second information,

transmit at least one CSI-RS,

receive, from the UE, the CSI including a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), and

obtain codebook indices i 1 and i 2 included in the PMI, wherein the i 1 includes third information in case that the first value and the second value are not equal, and the i 1 does not include the third information in case that the first value and the second value are equal,

wherein the RRC message further includes port selection information; and

wherein the processor is configured to omit, in the PMI, a codebook index i 1,6,1 related to basis information for frequency domain (FD) compression of the PMI based on the port selection information.

14 . The BS of claim 13 , wherein the third information is determined based on the first value.

15 . The BS of claim 13 , wherein the codebook index i 1 is related to a wideband PMI, and the codebook index i 2 is related to a subband PMI.

16 . The BS of claim 13 , wherein the RRC message further includes port selection information; and

wherein the processor is configured to decide that the PMI does not include a codebook index i 1,7,1 indicating a non-zero element bitmap based on the port selection information.
