Disclosed are a method for reporting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, and a device therefor. Specifically, a method for reporting CSI by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system comprises the step of: receiving a CSI-related reference signal; measuring CSI on the basis of the reference signal and a codebook; and reporting the CSI, wherein reception and transmission operations of the UE are performed on the basis of a three-dimensionally shaped antenna array formed by arranging a plurality of antenna elements in a three-dimensional configuration, the antenna array comprises a plurality of antenna elements, and the codebook is generated on the basis of the path difference between the distance from the origin, which is the center of the three-dimensional shape, to the UE and the distance from a specific antenna element to the UE.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for preparing channel state information (“CSI”). One apparatus includes a processor and a transceiver configured to communicate with a base unit over a radio access network using at least one transmission layer and determining a total number of non-zero coefficients over a set of layers. The processor encodes the total number of non-zero coefficients by selecting a codeword from a plurality of candidate codewords in which the selected single codeword identifies the total number of non-zero coefficients to the base unit. The processor prepares CSI, where the CSI comprises the selected single codeword encoding the total number of non-zero coefficients and the transceiver transmits the CSI to the base unit.

The UE (900) is operative, by means of e.g. the processor (910) to: estimate the MIMO channel between the gNB (800) and the UE (910) based on received DL reference signals for the configured resource blocks. The UE (900) is further operative to calculate, based on a performance metric, a precoder matrix, for a number of antenna ports of the gNB (800) and configured subbands, the precoder matrix being based on two codebooks and a set of combination coefficients for complex scaling/combining one or more of vectors selected from a first codebook and a second codebook, and the UE (900) is operative to report a CSI feedback and/or a PMI and/or a PMI/RI, to the gNB (800), used to indicate the precoder matrix for the configured antenna ports and resource blocks.

Other embodiments are disclosed.

Disclosed is a precoding method for generating, from a plurality of baseband signals, a plurality of precoded signals that are transmitted in the same frequency bandwidth at the same time. According to the precoding method, one matrix is selected from among matrices defining a precoding process that is performed on the plurality of baseband signals by hopping between the matrices. A first baseband signal and a second baseband signal relating to a first coded block and a second coded block generated by using a predetermined error correction block coding scheme satisfy a given condition.

For example, a method can include feeding back compressed channel state information. The channel state information can include combining coefficients used to combine a number of space domain, frequency domain, or both space and frequency domain ports. At least one layer can be restricted to be transmitted on one polarization. The feedback for the at least one layer only involves the combining coefficients on the one polarization.
