## Abstract

According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method of receiving a downlink signal, which is received by a user equipment in a wireless communication system, includes the steps of receiving a TxPowerResourceConfigList for a user equipment which is not configured with a transmission mode 10 and one or more zeroTxPowerResourceConfigLists and receiving a DCI (downlink control channel) including a PRI (PDSCH RE mapping indicator). In this case, the user equipment can recognize whether a PDSCH (physical downlink shared channel) is mapped to REs (resource elements) to which a CSI-RS is transmittable using the one or more zeroTxPowerResourceConfigLists and the PRI.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for a user equipment (UE) to report channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station (BS) via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information on plural aperiodic channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) measurement configurations,
receiving, from the BS in a first time interval, downlink control information (DCI) comprising a field having a bit length and value corresponding to one of the plural aperiodic CSI-RS measurement configurations,
receiving a aperiodic CSI-RS in a second time interval according to the one of the plural aperiodic CSI-RS measurement configurations, wherein the second time interval is determined based on the first time interval,
performing an aperiodic CSI-RS measurement on the aperiodic CSI-RS, and
reporting CSI based on the aperiodic CSI-RS measurement,
wherein first resource elements (REs) for the aperiodic CSI-RS are different from second REs for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the plural aperiodic CSI-RS measurement configurations include information on the aperiodic CSI-RS.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first time interval and the second time interval are set to one of a same time interval or a different time interval.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein a number of the plural aperiodic CSI-RS configurations is related to the bit length of the field of the DCI.

### Claim 5

A user equipment (UE) for reporting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
a memory;
a transceiver; and
a processor operatively connected to the memory and the transceiver, the processor for:
receiving, from a base station (BS) via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information on plural aperiodic channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) measurement configurations,
receiving, from the BS in a first time interval, downlink control information (DCI) comprising a field having a bit length and value corresponding to one of the plural aperiodic CSI-RS measurement configurations,
receiving a aperiodic CSI-RS in a second time interval according to the one of the plural aperiodic CSI-RS measurement configurations, wherein the second time interval is determined based on the first time interval,
performing an aperiodic CSI-RS measurement on the aperiodic CSI-RS, and
reporting CSI based on the aperiodic CSI-RS measurement,
wherein first resource elements (REs) for the aperiodic CSI-RS are different from second REs for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The UE of claim 5, wherein the plural aperiodic CSI-RS measurement configurations include information on the aperiodic CSI-RS.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The UE of claim 5, wherein the first time interval and the second time interval are set to one of a same time interval or a different time interval.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The UE of claim 5, wherein a number of the plural aperiodic CSI-RS configurations is related to the bit length of the field of the DCI.

### Claim 9

An apparatus, comprising:
a memory; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor for:
receiving, from a base station (BS) via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, information on plural aperiodic channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) measurement configurations,
receiving, from the BS in a first time interval, downlink control information (DCI) comprising a field having a bit length and value corresponding to one of the plural aperiodic CSI-RS measurement configurations,
receiving a aperiodic CSI-RS in a second time interval according to the one of the plural aperiodic CSI-RS measurement configurations, wherein the second time interval is determined based on the first time interval,
performing an aperiodic CSI-RS measurement on the aperiodic CSI-RS, and
reporting CSI based on the aperiodic CSI-RS measurement,
wherein first resource elements (REs) for the aperiodic CSI-RS are different from second REs for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH).

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the plural aperiodic CSI-RS measurement configurations include information on the aperiodic CSI-RS.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first time interval and the second time interval are set to one of a same time interval or a different time interval.
