METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANSMITTING CHANNEL STATUS INFORMATION IN MULTI-CARRIER WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for transmitting channel status information (CSI) in a wireless communication system which supports multiple carriers. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for transmitting channel status information for multiple carriers comprises the steps of: measuring downlink channels for first and second carriers which are closely placed to each other on the frequency domain; determining channel status information for the first carrier on the basis of a result of the channel measurement for the first carrier; determining channel status information for the second carrier on the basis of a part of the channel status information for the first carrier and a result of the channel measurement for the second carrier; and transmitting channel status information for the first and second carriers.
