Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for reporting channel state information, a terminal, and a base station. A resource for an aperiodic channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) is determined by the terminal according to an information for triggering an aperiodic channel state information (CSI) report sent by the base station, wherein the information for triggering the aperiodic CSI report indicates the resource for the aperiodic CSI-RS, and the aperiodic CSI report derived according to the aperiodic CSI-RS on the resource for the aperiodic CSI-RS is sent by the terminal to the base station. The base station transmits a CSI-RS only when the terminal needs to report the aperiodic CSI.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for reporting channel state information, a user equipment, and a base station. A channel state information measurement resource is determined by a UE according to an aperiodic CSI trigger signaling, so that a base station transmits a CSI-RS only when the UE needs to report the aperiodic CSI. Compared with transmitting a periodic CSI-RS by an existing base station, unnecessary transmitting of the CSI-RS is reduced, and energy of the base station such as an eNB is saved; and reducing the CSI-RS transmission may reduce resources occupied by the CSI-RS, thereby improving the spectrum efficiency of the system. In addition, reducing unnecessary CSI-RS transmission allows the interference in other cells by the base station being reduced; finally, CSI measurement resources are reserved only when the CSI needs to be fed back, the cost occupied by the CSI measurement resources is reduced.
