- each of the multiple input / output antenna communication systems may be represented through the following relationship.
- the number of rows and columns of the channel matrix H indicating the state of the channel is determined by the number of transmit and receive antennas.
- the number of rows is equal to the number of receiving antennas N_R
- the number of columns is equal to the number of transmitting antennas N_T.
- the channel matrix H becomes an N_R ⁇ N_T matrix.
- the rank of a matrix is defined as the minimum number of rows or columns that are independent of each other.
- the rank of the matrix cannot be greater than the number of rows or columns.
- the rank (H) of the channel matrix H is limited as follows.
- the rank when the matrix is subjected to eigen value decomposition, the rank may be defined as the number of nonzero eigenvalues among eigen values. Similarly, the rank can be defined as the number of non-zero singular values when SVD (singular value decomposition). Therefore, the physical meaning of rank in the channel matrix is the maximum number that can send different information in a given channel.
- 'rank' for MIMO transmission indicates the number of paths that can independently transmit a signal at a specific time point and a specific frequency resource, and 'number of layers' indicates transmission on each path.
- the transmitting end since the transmitting end transmits the number of layers corresponding to the number of ranks used for signal transmission, unless otherwise specified, the rank has the same meaning as the number of layers.

- the signal Since data is transmitted over a wireless channel in a wireless communication system, the signal may be distorted during transmission. In order to correctly receive the distorted signal at the receiving end, the distortion of the received signal must be corrected using the channel information.
- a signal transmission method known to both a transmitting side and a receiving side and a method of detecting channel information using a distorted degree when a signal is transmitted through a channel are mainly used.
- the above-mentioned signal is called a pilot signal or a reference signal (RS).
- RS can be classified into two types according to its purpose. There is an RS for obtaining channel state information and an RS used for data demodulation. Since the former is intended for the UE to acquire channel state information on the downlink, it should be transmitted over a wide band, and a UE that does not receive downlink data in a specific subframe should be able to receive and measure its RS. It is also used for radio resource management (RRM) measurement such as handover.
- RRM radio resource management
- the latter is an RS that the base station sends along with the corresponding resource when the base station transmits the downlink, and the UE can estimate the channel by receiving the RS, and thus can demodulate the data. This RS should be transmitted in the area where data is transmitted.
- the downlink reference signal is one common reference signal (CRS: common RS) for acquiring information on channel states shared by all terminals in a cell, measurement of handover, etc. and a dedicated reference used for data demodulation only for a specific terminal. There is a dedicated RS. Such reference signals may be used to provide information for demodulation and channel measurement. That is, DRS is used only for data demodulation and CRS is used for both purposes of channel information acquisition and data demodulation.
- CRS common reference signal
- the receiving side measures the channel state from the CRS and transmits an indicator related to the channel quality such as the channel quality indicator (CQI), precoding matrix index (PMI) and / or rank indicator (RI). Feedback to the base station).
- CRS is also referred to as cell-specific RS.
- CSI-RS a reference signal related to feedback of channel state information
- the DRS may be transmitted through resource elements when data demodulation on the PDSCH is needed.
- the UE may receive the presence or absence of a DRS through a higher layer and is valid only when a corresponding PDSCH is mapped.
- the DRS may be referred to as a UE-specific RS or a demodulation RS (DMRS).
- FIG. 7 illustrates a reference signal pattern mapped to a downlink resource block pair in a wireless communication system to which the present invention can be applied.
- a downlink resource block pair may be represented by 12 subcarriers in one subframe x frequency domain in a time domain in which a reference signal is mapped. That is, one resource block pair on the time axis (x-axis) has a length of 14 OFDM symbols in the case of normal cyclic prefix (normal CP) (in case of FIG. 7 (a)), and an extended cyclic prefix ( extended CP: Extended Cyclic Prefix) has a length of 12 OFDM symbols (in case of FIG. 7 (b)).
- normal CP normal cyclic prefix
- extended CP Extended Cyclic Prefix
- the resource elements (REs) described as '0', '1', '2' and '3' in the resource block grid are determined by the CRS of the antenna port indexes '0', '1', '2' and '3', respectively.
- the location of the resource element described as 'D' means the location of the DRS.
- the CRS is used to estimate a channel of a physical antenna and is distributed in the entire frequency band as a reference signal that can be commonly received to all terminals located in a cell. That is, this CRS is a cell-specific signal and is transmitted every subframe for the wideband.
- the CRS may be used for channel quality information (CSI) and data demodulation.
- CSI channel quality information
- CRS is defined in various formats depending on the antenna arrangement at the transmitting side (base station).
- base station In a 3GPP LTE system (eg, Release-8), RS for up to four antenna ports is transmitted according to the number of transmit antennas of a base station.
- the downlink signal transmitting side has three types of antenna arrangements such as a single transmit antenna, two transmit antennas, and four transmit antennas. For example, if the number of transmitting antennas of the base station is two, CRSs for antenna ports 0 and 1 are transmitted, and if four, CRSs for antenna ports 0 to 3 are transmitted. When there are four transmitting antennas of the base station, the CRS pattern in one RB is shown in FIG.
- the reference signal for the single antenna port is arranged.
- the reference signals for the two transmit antenna ports are arranged using time division multiplexing (TDM) and / or FDM frequency division multiplexing (FDM) scheme. That is, the reference signals for the two antenna ports are assigned different time resources and / or different frequency resources so that each is distinguished.
- TDM time division multiplexing
- FDM frequency division multiplexing
- reference signals for the four transmit antenna ports are arranged using the TDM and / or FDM scheme.
- the channel information measured by the receiving side (terminal) of the downlink signal may be transmitted by a single transmit antenna, transmit diversity, closed-loop spatial multiplexing, open-loop spatial multiplexing, or It may be used to demodulate data transmitted using a transmission scheme such as a multi-user MIMO.
- a reference signal when a multiple input / output antenna is supported, when a reference signal is transmitted from a specific antenna port, the reference signal is transmitted to a location of resource elements specified according to a pattern of the reference signal, and the location of resource elements specified for another antenna port. Is not sent to. That is, reference signals between different antennas do not overlap each other.
- DRS is used to demodulate data. Precoding weights used for a specific terminal in multiple I / O antenna transmission are used without change to estimate the corresponding channel by combining with the transmission channel transmitted from each transmission antenna when the terminal receives the reference signal.
- the 3GPP LTE system (eg, Release-8) supports up to four transmit antennas and a DRS for rank 1 beamforming is defined.
- the DRS for rank 1 beamforming also indicates a reference signal for antenna port index 5.
- LTE system evolution In the advanced LTE-A system, it should be designed to support up to eight transmit antennas in the downlink of the base station. Therefore, RS for up to eight transmit antennas must also be supported. Since the downlink RS in the LTE system defines only RSs for up to four antenna ports, when the base station has four or more up to eight downlink transmit antennas in the LTE-A system, RSs for these antenna ports are additionally defined. Must be designed. RS for up to eight transmit antenna ports must be designed for both the RS for channel measurement and the RS for data demodulation described above.
- an RS for an additional up to eight transmit antenna ports should be additionally defined in the time-frequency domain in which CRS defined in LTE is transmitted every subframe over the entire band.
- the RS overhead becomes excessively large.
- the newly designed RS in LTE-A system is divided into two categories, RS for channel measurement purpose for selecting MCS, PMI, etc. (CSI-RS: Channel State Information-RS, Channel State Indication-RS, etc.) And RS (Data Demodulation-RS) for demodulation of data transmitted through eight transmit antennas.
- CSI-RS Channel State Information-RS, Channel State Indication-RS, etc.
- RS Data Demodulation-RS
- CSI-RS for the purpose of channel measurement has a feature that is designed for channel measurement-oriented purposes, unlike the conventional CRS is used for data demodulation at the same time as the channel measurement, handover, and the like. Of course, this may also be used for the purpose of measuring handover and the like. Since the CSI-RS is transmitted only for the purpose of obtaining channel state information, unlike the CRS, the CSI-RS does not need to be transmitted every subframe. In order to reduce the overhead of the CSI-RS, the CSI-RS is transmitted intermittently on the time axis.
- the DM-RS is transmitted to the UE scheduled in the corresponding time-frequency domain for data demodulation. That is, the DM-RS of a specific UE is transmitted only in a region where the UE is scheduled, that is, a time-frequency region in which data is received.
- LTE-A system up to eight transmit antennas are supported on the downlink of a base station.
- the RS for up to 8 transmit antennas are transmitted in every subframe in the same manner as the CRS of the existing LTE, the RS overhead becomes excessively large. Therefore, in the LTE-A system, two RSs are added, separated into CSI-RS for CSI measurement and DM-RS for data demodulation for selecting MCS and PMI.
- the CSI-RS can be used for purposes such as RRM measurement, but is designed for the purpose of obtaining CSI. Since the CSI-RS is not used for data demodulation, it does not need to be transmitted every subframe.
- the CSI-RS may be periodically transmitted with an integer multiple of one subframe or may be transmitted in a specific transmission pattern. At this time, the period or pattern in which the CSI-RS is transmitted may be set by the eNB.
- the DM-RS is transmitted to the UE scheduled in the corresponding time-frequency domain. That is, the DM-RS of a specific UE is transmitted only in a region where the UE is scheduled, that is, a time-frequency region in which data is received.
- the UE In order to measure the CSI-RS, the UE must transmit the CSI-RS index of the CSI-RS for each CSI-RS antenna port of the cell to which it belongs, and the CSI-RS resource element (RE) time-frequency position within the transmitted subframe. , And information about the CSI-RS sequence.

As a result, in a situation where the ambiguity / problem may occur, no operation of the terminal may be guaranteed.
- the operation of the terminal may be clearly defined so that the above-described ambiguity / problem does not occur.
- the above-described table 5 is applied to the UL-DL configurations 0, 1, 2, and 6, but the 5 ms period is omitted from the table 5 for the UL-DL configurations 3, 4, and 5.
- Table 6 can be applied.
- Table 6 exemplifies a form in which a row related to a 5 ms period is deleted in Table 5 used in a legacy LTE system.
- the index of the I_CSI-RS may be re-indexed from '0'. .
- the CSI is initially -RS transmission period can be defined not to be less than 5ms. As a result, a situation in which the CSI-RSs are alternately transmitted through different subframe types in one radio frame can be avoided.
- the special subframe (or DwPTS) is given a higher priority than the general subframe, so that the UE recognizes that only CSI-RS transmission in the special subframe is valid. Can be defined / set.
- the UE receives the CSI-RS transmission-related configuration in a special subframe (or DwPTS) (via RRC signaling), and a configuration in which at least some of the CSI-RS to be transmitted from the base station may be transmitted in the general subframe
- a configuration information such as 'subframeConfig'
- the UE may be configured to ignore CSI-RS transmission in the general subframe and not measure the corresponding CSI-RS.
- the UE determines that only the CSI-RS transmitted through the special subframe is valid and measures only the corresponding CSI-RS. It can be set to.
- the UE may determine that only CSI-RS transmission in a general subframe is valid and measure / configure only CSI-RS. That is, in the present embodiment, it can be seen that the UE returns to the legacy operation to measure CSI-RS substantially in the above-mentioned ambiguity / problem.
- the terminal interprets the location information of the CSI-RS transmission resource element such as 'resourceConfig' as the information on the general subframe, and does not receive the CSI-RS in the special subframe (or DwPTS). Accordingly, the present embodiment may be viewed as a method of setting the terminal to prioritize the regression to the legacy operation for a specific situation (or misconfiguration situation) in which a kind of ambiguity / problem may occur.
- the above-mentioned ambiguity / problem setting described above may be allowed (e.g., CSI-RS is set to be alternately transmitted through a special subframe and a general subframe within one radio frame).
- the above-mentioned ambiguity / problem can be solved by newly defining the operation of the terminal in such a setting.
- the UE configures the CSI-RS transmitted in the special subframe (or DwPTS) (or CSI-RS resource information) and the CSI-RS transmitted in the general subframe (or CSI).
- -RS resource information may be configured to interpret differently.
- the UE may be configured to interpret CSI-RS information regarding CSI-RS resources received from the base station differently for each subframe type.
- Table 7 information indicating a CSI-RS pattern / configuration mapped to a special subframe (or DwPTS) is inserted into a new column in Table 3 indicating a legacy CSI-RS configuration / pattern, as shown in Table 7 below.
- Tables 3 and 7 correspond to tables indicating CSI-RS patterns / configurations in subframes to which general cyclic prefix is applied.
- the newly added column in Table 7 was created based on the CSI-RS configuration / pattern of FIG. 14 described above, but is not limited thereto.
- Table 7 includes a plurality of index values 0 to 31 indicating the position of the resource element to which the CSI-RS is mapped.
- the plurality of index values are defined to indicate positions of different resource elements for each subframe type or to indicate only positions of resource elements of the CSI-RS transmitted in the general subframe. That is, even the same index value may be defined to indicate the location of different resource elements according to the subframe type. Therefore, when the CSI-RS is set to be alternately transmitted through a special subframe and a general subframe within one radio frame, the UE may not only receive the CSI-RS information received from the base station but also the subframe in which the current CSI-RS is transmitted. Considering the type further, it is possible to know the exact location of the CSI-RS resources.
- the location of the CSI-RS resource corresponding to the same index value and the same number of antenna ports may be different according to the subframe type.
- the UE when the UE alternately receives the CSI-RS through different frame types in one radio frame, not only the index value and the antenna port number (ie, the CSI) in order to obtain the correct location of the CSI-RS resource.
- the type of the subframe in which the current CSI-RS is transmitted may be further considered. The type of the subframe may be determined based on the period and offset information of the subframe included in the CSI-RS information and the UL-DL configuration information set in the terminal.
- the base station has a single 'resourceConfig (index value) with the CSI-RS transmission time point and / or the CSI-RS resource element location setting without causing any problem in the CSI-RS resource allocation.
- both the special subframe and the CSI-RS transmission in the general subframe are allowed in one radio frame, in which case the special subframe in which the CSI-RS can be transmitted is specified It can be limited to a subframe. More specifically, in the case where the CSI-RSs are alternately transmitted through regular and special subframes within one radio frame, the CSI-RS is transmitted only through a special subframe (or DwPTS) configured to have a specific length or more. May be set.
- a special subframe or DwPTS
- CSI-RS transmission is allowed in a DwPTS having a length of 11 or 12, but CSI-RS transmission is not allowed in a DwPTS having a length less than 11 as shown in FIG. 14 (b). You may not. In other words, it can be seen that the CSI-RS transmission is not allowed for a special subframe having a length in which only two 8-port CSI-RS patterns can be mapped.
- the CSI-RS does not allow transmission in the special subframe configurations 0, 5, and 9 (ie, the special subframe having the short length DwPTS), and the special subframe configurations 1 to 4 and 6 to It may be set to allow transmission only in 8 (i.e. special sub-frames with long DwPTS) (see Table 2).
- CSI-RS alternately in the special sub-frame 'under a specific length' with the general sub-frame in one frame This may mean that a setting restriction is applied so that a situation in which is transmitted does not occur in the first place.
- the UE is a general
