Wireless Channel State Information Measurement Restriction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently transmitting and receiving channel state information, particularly in managing interference and channel measurement intervals, which affects the accuracy and speed of channel quality indicators (CQI) reporting.
Innovation Solution
A method where a User Equipment (UE) receives interference measurement restriction information from an eNB, derives interference measurements based on CSI-IM resources in a single subframe, and reports CQI, with the restriction information being independently set for each CSI-IM resource, and also receives channel measurement restriction information to derive CQI from NZP CSI-RS resources in another subframe, allowing for improved measurement performance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If channel state information is measured continuously over multiple subframes, then measurement accuracy is improved, but measurement delay and system latency increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the measurement process into separate channel measurement and interference measurement phases within different subframes. Channel measurement occurs in one subframe while interference measurement occurs in another subframe, allowing accurate measurements without requiring simultaneous multi-subframe observation, thus reducing measurement delay while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary configuration of measurement resources and restriction information before actual measurement. The eNB configures interference measurement restriction information and channel measurement restriction information in advance, enabling the UE to execute measurements efficiently in specific subframes without time-consuming setup procedures during measurement itself.
2Measurement precision
If interference measurement is performed across multiple subframes, then interference estimation accuracy is improved, but processing complexity and overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides interference measurement into specific resource blocks and subframes, restricting interference measurement to particular CSI-IM resources rather than performing it across all resources. This segmented approach maintains interference estimation accuracy for relevant resources while significantly reducing processing complexity by excluding irrelevant measurements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality measurement by performing interference measurement only in specific subframes and resource blocks where interference is most relevant, rather than uniformly across all measurements. The interference measurement restriction information enables selective measurement in local regions of time and frequency where it matters most for CQI calculation.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple CSI-IM resources are measured independently, then measurement flexibility is improved, but system overhead and configuration complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple measurement restrictions into unified configuration parameters. Instead of independently configuring each CSI-IM resource with separate restriction parameters, the system uses a single interference measurement restriction information that applies to all CSI-IM resources, reducing configuration overhead while maintaining the flexibility to measure multiple resources.
Solution Approach 2:
The interference measurement restriction information serves multiple functions simultaneously: it restricts interference measurement timing, identifies relevant CSI-IM resources, and guides CQI calculation. This multi-functional parameter reduces the need for separate configuration messages for each function, thereby reducing overall system overhead.

Disclosed are a method for transmitting or receiving channel state information in a wireless communication system and an apparatus therefor. Specifically, a method for transmitting channel state information by a terminal in the wireless communication system comprises the steps of: receiving interference measurement restriction information indicating a restriction of interference measurement from a base station; deriving an interference measurement based on a channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource in only one first subframe in order to calculate a channel quality indicator (CQI); and reporting the CQI to the base station, wherein the interference restriction information may be independently set for each CSI-IM resource.
