20150195731 | METHOD FOR MEASURING AND REPORTING CSI-RS IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING SAME - Provided is a method for measuring and reporting a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method involves receiving a CSI-RS configuration from a network, the CSI-RS configuration including information indicating a plurality of CSI-RS resources that is an object to be measured, measuring the plurality of CSI-RS resources in order to acquire a plurality of CSI-RS measurement results, determining whether or not to report the CSI-RS measurement results, and transmitting a measurement report message to the network. The measurement report message includes a specific number of CSI-RS measurement results having a higher level of quality from among the plurality of CSI-RS measurement results. | 2015-07-09 |
