## Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving channel state information in a wireless communication system. The method for transmitting channel state information (CSI) according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, may comprise the steps of: receiving, from a base station, configuration information related to the CSI, wherein the configuration information includes information about a CSI-RS resource set; receiving a CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) from the base station; and transmitting the CSI, to the base station, on the basis of the configuration information and the CSI-RS. The CSI-RS resource set may include M CSI-RS resource groups (M is a natural number), and the CSI may include N first CSI sets generated on the basis of a single CSI-RS resource in N mutually different CSI-RS resource groups (N≤M, N is a natural number) from among the M CSI-RS resource groups.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of transmitting channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, the method performed by a terminal comprising:
receiving configuration information related to the CSI from a base station, wherein the configuration information includes information on a CSI-RS resource set;
receiving a CSI-reference signal (CSI-RS) from the base station; and
transmitting the CSI to the base station based on the configuration information and the CSI-RS,
wherein the CSI-RS resource set includes M (M is a natural number) CSI-RS resource groups,
wherein the CSI includes N first CSI sets generated based on a single CSI-RS resource in N different (N≤M, N is a natural number) CSI-RS resource groups among the M CSI-RS resource groups.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein one or more CSI entries included in the N first CSI sets are independently determined for each first CSI set,
wherein the one or more CSI entries includes at least one of a rank indicator (RI), a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a layer indicator (LI), a channel quality indicator (CQI) and/or a CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI).

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the N CSI-RS resource groups are configured by the configuration information.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein K(K≤M, K is a natural number) CSI-RS resource groups for reporting the CSI are determined from the M CSI-RS resource groups,
wherein the CSI includes K second CSI sets generated based on a CSI-RS resource combination in the K CSI-RS resource groups.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein, when a report on the first CSI set based on the single CSI-RS resource and a report on the second CSI set based on the CSI-RS resource combination collide, the report on the second CSI set based on the CSI-RS resource combination is transmitted with priority.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein, when a report on the first CSI set based on the single CSI-RS resource and a report on the second CSI set based on the CSI-RS resource combination collide, the report on the first CSI set based on the single CSI-RS resource is transmitted with priority.

### Claim 7 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, wherein, when a report on the first CSI set based on the single CSI-RS resource and a report on the second CSI set based on the CSI-RS resource combination collide, priority for transmission is determined based on information included in the first CSI group and information included in the second CSI set.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The method of claim 6, the report on the first CSI set including L1 (layer 1)-SINR (signal to interference and noise ratio) or L1-RSRP (reference signal received power) is transmitted with priority over the report on the second CSI set that does not include the L1-SINR and the L1-RSRP.
