Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge of performing frequency division multiplexing (FDM) between a CSI-RS and a specific resource block on the same symbol in wireless communication systems, leading to collision issues.
Innovation Solution
A method for transmitting and receiving CSI-RS in a wireless communication system that allows for the configuration of CSI-RS and other reference signals to be multiplexed or not multiplexed in specific symbol locations, enabling efficient CSI reporting by user equipment with fewer Rx chains.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If frequency division multiplexing (FDM) is performed between CSI-RS and specific resource block on the same symbol, then resource utilization is improved, but collision problems occur between signals
Solution Approach 1:
The resource blocks are segmented into different frequency regions, with CSI-RS allocated to specific resource blocks while other reference signals are allocated to different resource blocks. This segmentation prevents overlap and collision between different signal types while maintaining efficient resource utilization through frequency division multiplexing.
Solution Approach 2:
Different quality requirements are applied to different frequency resources. CSI-RS is allocated to resource blocks where high precision channel state information is needed, while other reference signals are allocated to different resource blocks. This local differentiation ensures each signal receives appropriate resource quality without causing collisions.
2Device complexity
If user equipment with fewer Rx chains attempts to receive multiple CSI-RS, then device complexity is reduced, but reception capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from time-domain multiplexing to frequency-domain multiplexing for CSI-RS reception. By allocating CSI-RS to different frequency resources (resource blocks) rather than different time slots, user equipment with fewer Rx chains can simultaneously receive multiple CSI-RS signals through frequency division, effectively adding a frequency dimension to the reception capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The frequency division multiplexing approach creates a universal reception mechanism that works for user equipment with varying numbers of Rx chains. The same frequency-domain resource allocation strategy enables both simple devices with fewer Rx chains and advanced devices with more Rx chains to efficiently receive multiple CSI-RS signals according to their capabilities.

AI summary
The present specification provides a method for transmitting and receiving channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system. More specifically, a method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a resource block from a base station based on a first spatial Quasi-Co location (QCL) related parameter related to reception of the resource block including at least one control channel, wherein when the resource block and the CSI-RS are configured on the same symbol, the first spatial QCL related parameter and a second spatial QCL related parameter configured for reception of the CSI-RS are equally configured; configuring a beam for receiving the CSI-RS based on the second spatial QCL related parameter; and receiving the CSI-RS from the base station through the configured beam. The present specification has an effect that a UE, in which a less number of Rx chains are implemented, can receive multiple CSI-RSs.
