BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a wireless communication system and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for estimating a channel in a wireless communication system.

Description of the Related Art

Radio access systems have come into widespread in order to provide various types of communication services such as voice or data. In general, a radio access system is a multiple access system capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of the multiple access system include a code division multiple access (CDMA) system, a frequency division multiple access (FDMA) system, a time division multiple access (TDMA) system, a single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system, etc.

In particular, as many communication apparatuses require a large communication capacity, an enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) communication technology has been proposed compared to radio access technology (RAT). In addition, not only massive machine type communications (MTC) for providing various services anytime anywhere by connecting a plurality of apparatuses and things but also communication systems considering services/user equipments (UEs) sensitive to reliability and latency have been proposed. To this end, various technical configurations have been proposed.

MODE FOR INVENTION

The embodiments of the present disclosure described below are combinations of elements and features of the present disclosure in specific forms. The elements or features may be considered selective unless otherwise mentioned. Each element or feature may be practiced without being combined with other elements or features. Further, an embodiment of the present disclosure may be constructed by combining parts of the elements and/or features. Operation orders described in embodiments of the present disclosure may be rearranged. Some constructions or elements of any one embodiment may be included in another embodiment and may be replaced with corresponding constructions or features of another embodiment.

In the description of the drawings, procedures or steps which render the scope of the present disclosure unnecessarily ambiguous will be omitted and procedures or steps which can be understood by those skilled in the art will be omitted.

Throughout the specification, when a certain portion “includes” or “comprises” a certain component, this indicates that other components are not excluded and may be further included unless otherwise noted. The terms “unit”, “-or/er” and “module” described in the specification indicate a unit for processing at least one function or operation, which may be implemented by hardware, software or a combination thereof. In addition, the terms “a or an”, “one”, “the” etc. may include a singular representation and a plural representation in the context of the present disclosure (more particularly, in the context of the following claims) unless indicated otherwise in the specification or unless context clearly indicates otherwise.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a description is mainly made of a data transmission and reception relationship between a Base Station (BS) and a mobile station. A BS refers to a terminal node of a network, which directly communicates with a mobile station. A specific operation described as being performed by the BS may be performed by an upper node of the BS.

Namely, it is apparent that, in a network comprised of a plurality of network nodes including a BS, various operations performed for communication with a mobile station may be performed by the BS, or network nodes other than the BS. The term “BS” may be replaced with a fixed station, a Node B, an evolved Node B (eNode B or eNB), an Advanced Base Station (ABS), an access point, etc.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term terminal may be replaced with a UE, a Mobile Station (MS), a Subscriber Station (SS), a Mobile Subscriber Station (MSS), a mobile terminal, an Advanced Mobile Station (AMS), etc.

A transmitter is a fixed and/or mobile node that provides a data service or a voice service and a receiver is a fixed and/or mobile node that receives a data service or a voice service. Therefore, a mobile station may serve as a transmitter and a BS may serve as a receiver, on an UpLink (UL). Likewise, the mobile station may serve as a receiver and the BS may serve as a transmitter, on a DownLink (DL).

The embodiments of the present disclosure may be supported by standard specifications disclosed for at least one of wireless access systems including an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.xx system, a 3 rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) system, a 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, 3GPP 5 th generation (5G) new radio (NR) system, and a 3GPP2 system. In particular, the embodiments of the present disclosure may be supported by the standard specifications, 3GPP TS 36.211, 3GPP TS 36.212, 3GPP TS 36.213, 3GPP TS 36.321 and 3GPP TS 36.331.

In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable to other radio access systems and are not limited to the above-described system. For example, the embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable to systems applied after a 3GPP 5G NR system and are not limited to a specific system.

That is, steps or parts that are not described to clarify the technical features of the present disclosure may be supported by those documents. Further, all terms as set forth herein may be explained by the standard documents.

Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. The detailed description, which will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings, is intended to explain exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than to show the only embodiments that can be implemented according to the disclosure.

The following detailed description includes specific terms in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the specific terms may be replaced with other terms without departing the technical spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

The embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to various radio access systems such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), etc.

Hereinafter, in order to clarify the following description, a description is made based on a 3GPP communication system (e.g., LTE, NR, etc.), but the technical spirit of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. LTE may refer to technology after 3GPP TS 36.xxx Release 8. In detail, LTE technology after 3GPP TS 36.xxx Release 10 may be referred to as LTE-A, and LTE technology after 3GPP TS 36.xxx Release 13 may be referred to as LTE-A pro. 3GPP NR may refer to technology after TS 38.xxx Release 15. 3GPP 6G may refer to technology TS Release 17 and/or Release 18. “xxx” may refer to a detailed number of a standard document. LTE/NR/6G may be collectively referred to as a 3GPP system.
