METHOD FOR REPORTING CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION FOR 3-DIMENSIONAL BEAM FORMING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

Disclosed are a method for reporting the channel state information for a 3-dimensional beam forming in a wireless communications system and an apparatus therefor. A method for enabling a terminal to transmit the channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communications system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: receiving a reference signal from a base station supporting a 2-dimensional antenna array; determining the CSI by means of the reference signal; and transmitting the determined CSI to the base station. The CSI may include the CSI set for each of T (T≥1) beam candidates defined in one dimension of the 2-dimensional antenna array. The CSI set includes at least one of the rank index (RI) in the one dimension, the pre-coding matrix (PMI) index in the one dimension, the RI in the two dimensions, the PMI in the two dimensions, and the channel quality index (CQI). Here, the RI in the two dimensions is variable for each of the T beam candidates.
