Abstract

In a communication system in which a base station performing precoding processing and a mobile terminal communicate with each other, communication is efficiently performed. The terminal device reports to the base station device, information indicating a codebook that the terminal device supports, among a plurality of codebooks. The base station device determines a transmission mode, based on the information indicating the codebook that the terminal device supports.

Claims (49)

1. A terminal apparatus which communicates with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:

a transferring circuit configured and/or programmed to transfer terminal capability information to the base station apparatus, the terminal capability information indicating whether the terminal apparatus supports a PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports; and

a reporting circuit configured to and/or programmed report a channel state information computed from a channel measurement, wherein

the channel measurement in the PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is based on only CSI-RS.

2. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an up to 8 layer PDSCH transmission scheme is applicable in the PDSCH transmission mode.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal capability information with predefined information indicates that the PDSCH transmission mode is supported.

4. A terminal apparatus which communicates with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:

a transferring circuit configured and/or programmed to transfer, to the base station apparatus, information set to “1”, wherein the information set to “1” indicates that a functionality of a PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is supported by the terminal apparatus; and

a reporting circuit configured and/or programmed to report a channel state information computed from a channel measurement, wherein

the channel measurement in the PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is based on only CSI-RS.

5. A terminal apparatus which communicates with a base station apparatus, the terminal apparatus comprising:

a transferring circuit configured and/or programmed to transfer, to the base station apparatus, information set to “0”, wherein the information set to “0” indicates that a functionality of a PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is not supported by the terminal apparatus; and

a reporting circuit configured and/or programmed to report a channel state information computed from a channel measurement, wherein

the channel measurement in the PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is based on only CSI-RS.

6. A base station apparatus which communicates with a terminal apparatus, the base station apparatus comprising:

a receiving circuit configured and/or programmed to receive terminal capability information from the terminal apparatus, the terminal capability information indicating whether the terminal apparatus supports a PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports; and

the receiving circuit configured and/or programmed to receive a channel state information computed from a channel measurement, the channel measurement being derived by the terminal apparatus, wherein

the channel measurement in the PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is based on only CSI-RS.

7. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal capability information further indicates carrier aggregation information.

8. A communication method used for a terminal apparatus which communicates with a base station apparatus, the method comprising:

transferring terminal capability information to the base station apparatus, the terminal capability information indicating whether the terminal apparatus supports a PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports; and

reporting a channel state information computed from a channel measurement, wherein the channel measurement in the PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is based on only CSI-RS.

9. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein the terminal capability information further indicates carrier aggregation information.

10. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein an up to 8 layer PDSCH transmission scheme is applicable in the PDSCH transmission mode.

11. The communication method according to claim 8 , wherein the terminal capability information with predefined information indicates that the PDSCH transmission mode is supported.

12. A communication method used for a terminal apparatus which communicates with a base station apparatus, the method comprising:

transferring, to the base station apparatus, information set to “1”, wherein the information set to “1” indicates that a functionality of a PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is supported by the terminal apparatus; and

reporting a channel state information computed from a channel measurement, wherein

the channel measurement in the PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is based on only CSI-RSI.

13. A communication method used for a terminal apparatus which communicates with a base station apparatus, the method comprising:

transferring, to the base station apparatus, information set to “0”, wherein the information set to “0” indicates that a functionality of a PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is not supported by the terminal apparatus; and

reporting a channel state information computed from a channel measurement, wherein

the channel measurement in the PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is based on only CSI-RS.

14. A communication method used for a base station apparatus which communicates with a terminal apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving terminal capability information from the terminal apparatus, the terminal capability information indicating whether the terminal apparatus supports a PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports; and

receiving a channel state information computed from a channel measurement, the channel measurement being derived by the terminal apparatus, wherein

the channel measurement in the PDSCH transmission mode with 8 CSI reference signal ports is based on only CSI-RS.

15. The terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a channel measurement circuit configured and/or programmed to derive the channel measurement for computing the channel state information.

16. The terminal apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a channel measurement circuit configured and/or programmed to derive the channel measurement for computing the channel state information.

17. The terminal apparatus according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a channel measurement circuit configured and/or programmed to derive the channel measurement for computing the channel state information.

18. The communication method according to claim 8 , further comprising:

deriving the channel measurement for computing the channel state information.

19. The communication method according to claim 12 , further comprising:

deriving the channel measurement for computing the channel state information.

20. The communication method according to claim 13 , further comprising:

deriving the channel measurement for computing the channel state information.
