Abstract

This specification provides a method for transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), a CSI (Channel State Information) report in a wireless communication system. More specifically, the method includes: receiving, from a base station, downlink control information (DCI) including information for triggering the CSI report; computing CSI based on the number of symbols related to a time for computing the CSI; and transmitting the CSI report to the base station, in which the number of symbols related to the time for computing the CSI is defined based on information for the number of antenna ports, information for a CSI-RS resource, information for a bandwidth granularity, and information for a CSI codebook type.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method of transmitting, by a user equipment (UE), Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station (BS), downlink control information (DCI) including information for triggering an aperiodic CSI report;
computing the CSI based on the number of symbols related to a time for computing the CSI; and
transmitting, to the BS, the CSI including a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI),
wherein the number of symbols related to the time for computing the CSI is defined based on (i) information for the number of antenna ports, (ii) information for a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource, (iii) information for a bandwidth granularity, (iv) information for a CSI codebook type, and (v) information for a number of processors,
wherein the information for the CSI codebook type is information regarding whether the PMI is based on a type 1 codebook or a type 2 codebook.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the BS, configuration information including at least one of (i) the information for the number of antenna ports, (ii) the information for the CSI-RS resource, (iii) the information for the bandwidth granularity, or (iv) the information for the CSI codebook type.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the configuration information is included in RRC information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information for the bandwidth granularity is information regarding whether the CSI is based on a wideband or a subband.

5. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit Channel State Information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transmitter and a receiver;
at least one processor; and
at least one computer memory operably connectable to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a base station (BS) through the receiver, downlink control information (DCI) including information for triggering an aperiodic CSI report;
computing the CSI based on the number of symbols related to a time for computing the CSI; and
transmitting, to the BS through the transmitter, the CSI including a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI),
wherein the number of symbols related to the time for computing the CSI is defined based on (i) information for the number of antenna ports, (ii) information for a Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resource, (iii) information for a bandwidth granularity, (iv) information for a CSI codebook type, and (v) information for a number of processors,
wherein the information for the CSI codebook type is information regarding whether the PMI is based on a type 1 codebook or a type 2 codebook.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving, from the BS through the receiver, configuration information including at least one of (i) the information for the number of antenna ports, (ii) the information for the CSI-RS resource, (iii) the information for the bandwidth granularity, or (iv) the information for the CSI codebook type.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein the configuration information is included in RRC information.

8. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the information for the bandwidth granularity is information regarding whether the CSI is based on a wideband or a subband.
