Abstract

A method for transmitting channel state information performed by a User Equipment (UE) may include receiving, from a base station, a bitmap for configuring codebook subset restriction (CSR) and reporting, to the base station, Channel State Information (CSI), when a number of antenna ports is configured as 16 or more and a number of layers associated with a rank indicator (RI) in the CSI is 3 or 4, a unit of multiple bits in a bitmap for configuring the CSR is associated with each precoder, and a reporting of precoding matrix indicator (PMI) corresponding to the precoder associated with the multiple bits is restricted in the CSI, when the CSR is indicated in any one of the multiple bits, and each bit in the bitmap for configuring the CSR is associated with each precoder.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A user equipment (UE) configured to transmit channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
at least one transceiver;
at least one processor; and
at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
receiving, through the at least one transceiver, configuration information for a codebook, wherein the configuration information includes a bitmap parameter related with subset restriction of the codebook,
wherein a number of bits of the bitmap parameter is determined based on a number of antenna ports in a first dimension and a number of antenna ports in a second dimension,
wherein for a first case that (i) a total number of antenna ports in the first dimension and the second dimension is configured as 16 or more and (ii) a number of layers is 3 or 4;
each of units of three bits of the bitmap parameter is related to each of precoding matrices included in a precoding matrix set for the first case, respectively, and each index of the three bits has a value related to a consecutive specified number,
in a unit of the three bits of the bitmap parameter, for a bit whose index is based on a first dimensional index which is an odd number: the bit is related to two different precoding matrices included in the precoding matrix set for the first case, and
in the unit of the three bits of the bitmap parameter, for a bit whose index is based on a first dimensional index which is an even number: the bit is related to only one precoding matrix included in the precoding matrix set for the first case; and

transmitting, through the at least one transceiver, CSI based on the codebook,
wherein for the first case, based on that at least one bit of the unit of the three bits is configured to be a value related to the subset restriction of the codebook, a reporting of precoding matrix indicator (PMI) corresponding to a precoding matrix related to the unit of the three bits is restricted in the CSI.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein for a second case other than the first case:
each bit of the bitmap parameter is related to each of precoding matrices included in a precoding matrix set for the second case, respectively, and a reporting of PMI corresponding to a precoding matrix related to a bit related to the subset restriction is restricted in the CSI.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information further includes a type of the codebook and the type of the codebook is configured as type I single panel.

4. The UE of claim 3 , wherein the bitmap parameter corresponds to the type of the codebook.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein for the first case:
a bit in a first unit of three bits belongs to a second unit of three bits, and
wherein an index in the first dimension of the bit is the odd number.

6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information further includes a bitmap for configuring a rank restriction.

7. The UE of claim 6 , wherein a bitwidth for reporting a rank indicator (RI) in the CSI is determined based on a number of rank indicators in which a reporting is allowed by the bitmap for configuring the rank restriction.

8. The UE of claim 6 , wherein a reporting of a rank indicator (RI) corresponding to a layer related to a bit related to the rank restriction in the bitmap for configuring the rank restriction is restricted in the CSI.

9. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the subset restriction is based on any one bit of the bitmap parameter, and a reporting of the PMI corresponding a single or multiple precoding matrices is restricted based on the number of units to which the any one bit belongs.

10. A base station (BS) configured to receive channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
at least one transceiver;
at least one processor; and
at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
transmitting, through the at least one transceiver to a User Equipment (UE), configuration information for a codebook,
wherein the configuration information includes a bitmap parameter related with subset restriction of the codebook,
wherein a number of bits of the bitmap parameter is determined based on a number of antenna ports in a first dimension and a number of antenna ports in a second dimension,
wherein for a first case that (i) a total number of antenna ports in the first dimension and the second dimension is configured as 16 or more and (ii) a number of layers is 3 or 4;
each of units of three bits of the bitmap parameter is related to each of precoding matrices included in a precoding matrix set for the first case, respectively, and each index of the three bits has a value related to a consecutive specified number
in a unit of the three bits of the bitmap parameter, for a bit whose index is based on a first dimensional index which is an odd number: the bit is related to two different precoding matrices included in the precoding matrix set for the first case, and

receiving, through the at least one transceiver from the UE, Channel State Information (CSI),
wherein for the first case, based on that at least one bit of the unit of the three bits is configured to be a value related to the subset restriction of the codebook, a reporting of precoding matrix indicator (PMI) corresponding to a precoding matrix related to the unit of the three bits is restricted in the CSI.
