The application discloses a
precoding matrix indication
selection method based on a neural network. In the method, a user end first acquires a channel matrix of a downlink; then, the channel matrix is preprocessed by downsampling, segmented
discrete Fourier transform and number domain conversion, so that input features suitable for neural
network processing are obtained; then, the neural network is used for
feature extraction and
code word mapping on the preprocessed channel features, corresponding
code word numbers are output for each subband, and the
code word numbers are converted into
precoding matrix indication (PMI) parameters; subsequently, the user end feeds back the PMI to a
base station; and the
base station maps corresponding
precoding matrices according to the same predefined
codebook and the received PMI, and the precoding matrices are used for
downlink beamforming transmission. The application uses the neural network to replace a conventional traversal search type PMI selection process, reduces the calculation complexity of the user end under the premise of keeping compatibility with an existing
codebook feedback mechanism, and improves the PMI selection efficiency.
