Abstract

The present invention relates to methods and devices for aperiodically reporting channel state information (CSI). According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for aperiodically reporting channel state information may comprise: a terminal receiving an upper layer signal from a base station, the upper layer signal containing information about at least one allocated CSI measurement group; the terminal receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) signal via a first subframe from the base station, the PDCCH signal containing a CSI request field; the terminal setting a second subframe as a CSI reference resource based on the first subframe; and determining whether at least one CSI measurement group to which a CSI reference resource is allocated is included.

Claims (20)

1. A method for aperiodic channel state information (CSI) reporting in a wireless access system, the method performed by a user equipment (UE) and comprising:

receiving a radio resource control (RRC) message configuring one or more CSI measurement sets, wherein each of the one or more CSI measurement sets includes one or more subframes;

receiving an aperiodic CSI request field via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first subframe, the CSI request field triggering the aperiodic the CSI reporting; and

performing the aperiodic CSI reporting with CSI on a second subframe,

wherein the CSI is associated with a valid subframe which is included in one of the one or more CSI measurement sets, and

the valid subframe is defined as a closest subframe from the second subframe in consideration of a predetermined condition.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CSI is related to a CSI measurement set including the subframe.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the aperiodic CSI reporting is performed via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

4. A user equipment (UE) for performing an aperiodic channel status information (CSI) reporting in a wireless access system, the UE comprising:

a reception module;

a transmission module; and

a processor for supporting the aperiodic CSI reporting,

wherein the reception module is configured to:

receive a radio resource control (RRC) message configuring one or more CSI measurement sets, wherein each of the one or more CSI measurement sets includes one or more subframes, and

receive an aperiodic CSI request field via a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first subframe, the CSI request field triggering the aperiodic CSI reporting,

wherein the processor is configured to perform the aperiodic CSI reporting with CSI on a second subframe by using the transmission module, and

wherein the CSI is associated with a valid subframe which is included in one of the one or more CSI measurement sets, and

the valid subframe is defined as a closest subframe from the second subframe in consideration of a predetermined condition.

5. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the CSI is related to a CSI measurement set including the subframe.

6. The UE according to claim 4 , wherein the aperiodic CSI reporting is performed via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).
