The application relates to a communication device comprising: a communication interface configured to transmit a pilot signal via a communication channel to a second communication device and to receive a plurality of data elements representing channel state information (CSI) from the second communication device, wherein the plurality of data elements are a subset of a set of data elements representing the full channel state information (CSI) being available at the second communication device; and a processing unit configured to generate the full channel state information (CSI) on the basis of the plurality of data elements by applying a fitting scheme to the plurality of data elements received from the second communication device.

An apparatus receives, from a wireless network, a secondary cell (SCell) activation command. The apparatus determines whether a target SCell is known. Based on a result of the determining, the apparatus performs one or more operations.

The present invention discloses a method of transmitting uplink control information by a user equipment in a wireless communication system and device for supporting the same. Specifically, the present invention discloses a method by which a user equipment maps uplink control information to a physical uplink shared channel when the user equipment intends to transmit the uplink control information on the physical uplink shared channel and transmission operation for the uplink control information based on the same.

A communication method and a system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) are provided. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for an uplink transmission process.

A user equipment includes a receiver and a transmitter and is configured to report channel state information (CSI) to a base station in a communication system in which a plurality of downlink component carriers and at least one uplink component carrier are configured. The receiver receives, in a slot nTrigger, a trigger message that triggers reporting of the CSI for at least one unlicensed downlink component carrier of the plurality of downlink component carriers. The transmitter transmits, in a slot nReport, the CSI based on reference signals present in a slot nRS on the at least one unlicensed downlink component carrier. Responsive to the at least one unlicensed downlink component carrier being occupied for a period of time for a bursty downlink transmission, only the reference signals in the slot nRS are evaluated for the CSI, and other slots in the period of time are not evaluated for the CSI.

Disclosed is a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4G communication system such as LTE. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for reporting channel state information of a terminal in a wireless communication system comprises the steps of: determining whether a resource for transmitting a reference signal for channel measurement overlaps with a resource for a specific type of transmission; generating channel state information on the basis of the determination result; and transmitting the generated channel state information to a base station.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for a wireless device to encode channel state information (CSI), e.g., enhanced type II CSI. A common frequency basis may be selected. Spatial-frequency coefficients, frequency basis related information, and/or spatial basis related information may be determined. At least a portion of the coefficients and/or information may be encoded in a CSI report.

In a closed-loop wireless communication system, a codebook-based feedback mechanism is provided to enable non-unitary precoding for multi-stream transmission, where each stream is optimized with suitable transmission power allocation and AMC. The codebook-based feedback mechanism uses a precoding codebook having a power allocation matrix which is constrained to specify that beamforming always applies full power to a predetermined beam. With this constraint, a one-bit power allocation feedback index may be used to switch between beamforming and spatial multiplexing.

An apparatus of a base station in a network may include a memory device and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device may process a message received at the base station from a macro-cell base station. The message may include a request to act as a relay for a user equipment (UE). The processing device may then determine that the base station is to act as a relay for the UE. The processing device may then generate a message comprising an indication that the base station accepted the request to act as a relay for the UE.

The present disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The present disclosure provides a priority of CSI reporting in a mobile communication system, and provides a method in which a UE performs CSI reporting with high priority according to the priority. The method includes receiving channel state information (CSI) feedback configuration information from a base station; identifying a CSI reporting to be performed based on the CSI feedback configuration information, as a result of two CSI reportings overlapping; and performing the identified CSI reporting to the base station. The CSI reporting is identified based on types of CSI reportings, and a CSI reporting associated with a reference signal received power (RSRP) is prioritized over a CSI reporting that is not associated with the RSRP.
