Abstract

A method for reporting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor are disclosed. According to an example of the present invention, a method in which a terminal transmits CSI in a wireless communication system may comprise: a step of receiving data about a feedback antenna port configuration from a base station; and a step of transmitting CSI regarding K (K≧1) feedback antenna ports from each of N (N≧2) reporting resources to the base station. The K feedback antenna ports may be a part of M (M≧2) antenna ports. The CSI regarding K feedback antenna ports may include phase information about the K feedback antenna ports. The phase information about the K feedback antenna ports may be determined by assuming a phase difference with respect to a reference antenna port.

First claim

1 . A method for transmitting channel state information (CSI) by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving feedback antenna port configuration information from a base station (BS); and transmitting CSI of K (K≧1) feedback antenna ports to the BS in each of N (N≧2) reporting resources, wherein the K feedback antenna ports correspond to a part of M (M≧2) antenna ports, wherein the CSI of the K feedback antenna ports comprises phase information of the K feedback antenna ports, and wherein the phase information of the K feedback antenna ports is determined by assuming phase differences based on a reference antenna port.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reference antenna port is configured equally in the N reporting resources.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein, if the reference antenna port is configured differently in the N reporting resources, the phase information of the K feedback antenna ports is determined by assuming phase alignment based on the reference antenna port.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein codebooks having different resolutions are applied to the N reporting resources or to reporting resource groups.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the N reporting resources comprise one or more pieces of CSI of each of the M antenna ports.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein phase information of a specific antenna port among the M antenna ports is determined by assuming one or more of accumulation and a weighted average of phase information corresponding to the specific antenna port and transmitted in the N reporting resources.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the feedback antenna port configuration information comprises one or more of a value of N, a value of K, a value of M, and index information of the K feedback antenna ports allocated to each of the N reporting resources.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the K feedback antenna ports comprise one or more of antenna ports having different antenna port indexes in the N reporting resources.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the N reporting resources are configured as a combination of one or more time resources and one or more frequency resources.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CSI further comprises receive (Rx) antenna port index information of the UE.

11 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the CSI is reported periodically or aperiodically.

12 . A method for receiving channel state information (CSI) by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
transmitting feedback antenna port configuration information to a user equipment (UE); and receiving CSI of K (K≧1) feedback antenna ports from the UE in each of N (N≧2) reporting resources, wherein the K feedback antenna ports correspond to a part of M (M≧2) antenna ports, wherein the CSI of the K feedback antenna ports comprises phase information of the K feedback antenna ports, and wherein the phase information of the K feedback antenna ports is determined by assuming phase differences based on a reference antenna port.

13 . A user equipment (UE) for transmitting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
a transmitter module; a receiver module; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to control the receiver module to receive feedback antenna port configuration information from a base station (BS), and control the transmitter module to transmit CSI of K (K≧1) feedback antenna ports to the BS in each of N (N≧2) reporting resources, wherein the K feedback antenna ports correspond to a part of M (M≧2) antenna ports, wherein the CSI of the K feedback antenna ports comprises phase information of the K feedback antenna ports, and wherein the phase information of the K feedback antenna ports is determined by assuming phase differences based on a reference antenna port.

14 . A base station (BS) for receiving channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the BS comprising:
a transmitter module; a receiver module; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to control the transmitter module to transmit feedback antenna port configuration information to a user equipment (UE), and control the receiver module to receive CSI of K (K≧1) feedback antenna ports from the UE in each of N (N≧2) reporting resources, wherein the K feedback antenna ports correspond to a part of M (M≧2) antenna ports, wherein the CSI of the K feedback antenna ports comprises phase information of the K feedback antenna ports, and wherein the phase information of the K feedback antenna ports is determined by assuming phase differences based on a reference antenna port.
