Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of communication technology, specifically relating to a channel state information (CSI) feedback method, apparatus, device, and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In multi-TRP / multi-panel scenarios, this can increase transmission reliability and throughput performance. For example, the terminal can receive the same or different data from multiple TRPs. Inter-TRP communication can be categorized into ideal backhaul and non-ideal backhaul. In non-ideal backhaul scenarios, there is significant latency in information exchange between multiple TRPs, making independent scheduling more suitable. Acknowledgments (ACK), negative acknowledgments (NACK), and CSI reports are fed back to each TRP separately. This is typically applicable to Downlink Control Information (DCI) scheduling, where each TRP transmits its own Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and each PDCCH schedules its own Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH). Multiple Control Resource Sets (CORESETs) configured for the terminal are associated with different Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter control resource set pool indices (CORESET PoolIndex), corresponding to different TRPs. The multiple PDSCHs scheduled by multiple DCIs may not overlap, partially overlap, or completely overlap in time-frequency resources. On overlapping time-frequency resources, each TRP performs independent precoding according to its own channel, and the terminal receives multi-layer data streams belonging to multiple PDSCHs using non-coherent joint transmission (NCJT).

[0003] In an ideal backhaul scenario, multiple TRPs can exchange scheduling information and UE feedback information in real time. Besides scheduling multiple PDSCHs through multiple DCIs as described above, single DCIs can also schedule PDSCHs, including the following transmission schemes:

[0004] (1) Space Division Multiplexing (SDM): Different data layers of the same Transport Block (TB) come from different TRPs of NCJT.

[0005] (2) Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM): Different frequency domain resources mapped to the same TB and the same Redundancy Version (RV) originate from different TRPs, or different RVs of the same TB are mapped to different frequency domain resources and originate from different TRPs.

[0006] (3) Time division multiplexing (TDM): Multiple repetitions of different RVs in the same TB come from different TRPs, such as repetition within one time slot or repetition across multiple time slots.

[0007] At this point, ACK / NACK feedback and CSI reports can be sent to any TRP.

[0008] However, existing CSI report mappings are primarily designed for a single measurement assumption and cannot adequately support multiple measurement assumptions. Summary of the Invention

[0043] See Figure 2 This application provides a CSI feedback method, the specific steps of which include: step 201.

[0044] Step 201: The terminal sends one or more CSI reports to the network-side device, wherein the CSI report includes a first field corresponding to the first measurement hypothesis;

[0045] The first measurement hypothesis includes: X single TRP (STRP) measurement hypotheses and 1 joint transmission measurement hypothesis, where X is a natural number, i.e., X = 0, 1, 2, 3...; or, the first measurement hypothesis is one of all STRP measurement hypotheses and joint transmission measurement hypotheses.

[0046] Optionally, some CSI information or CSI content obtained from the first measurement assumption (such as aliasing, channel state information reference signal resource indicator, precoding matrix indicator, etc.) can be mapped to the first domain.

[0047] Optionally, the first measurement assumption includes one joint transmission measurement assumption; or, the first measurement assumption includes one STRP measurement assumption and one joint transmission measurement assumption; or, the first measurement assumption includes two STRP measurement assumptions and one joint transmission measurement assumption.

[0048] Optionally, the first measurement hypothesis is the optimal one among all STRP measurement hypotheses and joint transmission measurement hypotheses. For example, among STRP measurement hypothesis 1, STRP measurement hypothesis 2, STRP measurement hypothesis 3, joint transmission measurement hypothesis 1, and joint transmission measurement hypothesis 2, if STRP measurement hypothesis 3 is the optimal measurement hypothesis, then STRP measurement hypothesis 3 is taken as the first measurement hypothesis.

[0049] Joint transmission (JT) in this article can include non-coherent joint transmission (NCJT) and coherent joint transmission (CJT).

[0050] In one embodiment of this application, when the first field is a rank indicator (RI) field and the first measurement hypothesis is one of all STRP measurement hypotheses and joint transmission measurement hypotheses, the bit width of the RI field is determined according to one or more of the following:

[0051] (1) Number of antenna ports, for example, 1 antenna port, 2 antenna ports, 4 antenna ports, and more than 4 antenna ports;

[0052] (2) The number of rank indicators allowed for a single TRP transmission and the corresponding bit width length;

[0053] (3) The bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed for joint transmission;

[0054] (4) The number of all rank indicators supported by the terminal;

[0055] (5) The number of all rank indication combinations supported by the terminal.

[0056] In one embodiment of this application, the bit width of the RI field is one of the following:

[0057] (1) A first value, which includes: 0, or or or or or

[0058] Taking N=2 as an example, when each of the two TRPs has only one antenna port, the bit width of the RI field is 0.

[0059] When one TRP has only one antenna port and another TRP has two antenna ports, the bitwidth is:

[0060]

[0061] When one TRP has two antenna ports and another TRP has two antenna ports, the bitwidth is:

[0062]

[0063] When one TRP has two antenna ports and another TRP has four antenna ports, the bitwidth is:

[0064]

[0065] When one TRP has four antenna ports and another TRP has four antenna ports, the bitwidth is:

[0066]

[0067] When each TRP has more than four antenna ports, the bitwidth is:

[0068]

[0069] (2) The second value, which includes: 0 or or or or or Where N RI_jt Indicates the number of all supported rank indicator combinations;

[0070] (3) A third value, wherein the third value includes: 0 or Where N RI Indicates the number of all supported rank indicators or combinations of rank indicators;

[0071] in, This indicates the bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed for the first TRP STRP transmission. This indicates the bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed during the first TRP joint transmission; This indicates the bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed for the Nth TRP STRP transmission. This represents the bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed during the Nth TRP joint transmission, where N is greater than or equal to 2.

[0072] It is understandable that the Nth TRP refers to the Nth TRP. For example, if N equals 2, it is identified as the second TRP or the second TRP.

[0073] In one embodiment of this application, when the bit width of the RI field is a first value, if the first measurement hypothesis is the STRP measurement hypothesis, then one codepoint of the RI field corresponds to one rank indicator; if the first measurement hypothesis is the joint transmission measurement hypothesis, then the first bit width of the RI field corresponds to one rank indicator. The bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the first TRP, the preceding After bit The bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the Nth TRP; or the first bit of the RI field. The bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the first TRP, and the latter part of the RI field Each bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the Nth TRP.

[0074] In one embodiment of this application, when the bit width of the RI field is a second value, if the first measurement hypothesis is the STRP measurement hypothesis, then one code point of the RI field corresponds to one rank indicator; if the first measurement hypothesis is the joint transmission measurement hypothesis, then one code point of the RI field corresponds to a set of rank indicators.

[0075] For example, as shown in Table 1, when the joint transmission measurement hypothesis is reported, if the index value of the RI field is 2, it means that the set of rank indicators for the JT transmission is 2 and 1.

[0076] Table 1: Correspondence between indexes and a set of rank indicators.

[0077] Index Rank Indicator 0 (1,1) 1 (1,2) 2 (2,1) 3 (2,2) … …

[0078] In one embodiment of this application, when the bit width of the RI field is a third value, one code point of the RI field corresponds to one rank indicator or a set of rank indicators.

[0079] For example, as shown in Table 2, when the index value of the RI field is 2, it indicates a STRP transmission with a rank of 3. When the index value of the RI field is 10, it indicates a JT transmission with a rank of 2 and 1.

[0080] Table 2: Correspondence between index and rank indicator.

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] In one embodiment of this application, when the first measurement hypothesis is one of all STRP measurement hypotheses and joint transmission measurement hypotheses, the bit width of the Channel State Information Reference Signal Resource Indicator (CSI-RSresource indicator, CRI) field in the CSI report is: Where K s This indicates the number of channel measurement resources (CMRs) that are reported and associated, where N represents the number of CMR pairs that are reported and associated.

[0084] One of the CMR pairs is used to measure a joint transmission measurement hypothesis, where N can represent the number of joint transmission measurement hypotheses that need to be measured.

[0085] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0086] If the first measurement hypothesis is one of all STRP measurement hypotheses and joint transmission measurement hypotheses, the terminal indicates to the network-side device, through the first field of the CSI report, that the type of the first measurement hypothesis is either a STRP measurement hypothesis or a joint transmission measurement hypothesis.

[0089] For example: K sWhen =2 and N=1, the CRI field adopts the aforementioned definition method, CRI0 represents CMR1, CRI1 represents CMR2, and CRI2 represents both CMR1 and CMR2. Therefore, when a user reports CRI2, it indicates the joint transmission measurement assumption.

[0090] (2) RI domain;

[0091] The RI field adopts the definition method described above.

[0092] Alternatively, it can be indicated by other combinations of RI, such as: K s When RI = 2 and N = 1, if the user reports RI1 = 0 and RI2 = 1, where only RI2 is a valid value, then the user reports the STRP measurement hypothesis and the corresponding TRP for RI2; if the user reports RI1 = 1 and RI2 = 1, where both are valid values, then the user reports the joint transmission measurement hypothesis.

[0093] The valid values ​​can be determined based on one or more of the following: RI restrictions, number of ports, and RI combinations supported by joint transmission.

[0094] (3) Newly defined indicator field.

[0095] For example: the newly defined indicator field is the Joint Transmission Indicator field (JT Indicator field), when K s When N=2 and N=1, the CRI field is defined as CRI0 representing CMR1 and CRI1 representing CMR2. Therefore, when the user reports CRI0 and it is a STRP transmission assumption, the joint transmission indication field is 0, and when the user reports CRI0 and it is a joint transmission assumption, the joint transmission indication field is 1.

[0096] In one embodiment of this application, when the first measurement hypothesis includes X STRP measurement hypotheses and 1 joint transmission measurement hypothesis, the number of RI fields in the CSI report is:

[0097] (1) X+1, where X RI fields correspond to X STRP measurement hypotheses, and 1 RI field corresponds to 1 joint transmission measurement hypothesis;

[0104] (2) The bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed for joint transmission;

[0105] (3) The number of all rank indicators supported by the terminal;

[0106] (4) The number of all rank indication combinations supported by the terminal.

[0107] In one embodiment of this application, the bit width of the first RI field is one of the following:

[0108] (1) The fourth value, which includes: 0 or or or or or

[0109] in This indicates the bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed during the first TRP joint transmission. This indicates the bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed during the Nth TRP joint transmission;

[0110] (2) The fifth value, which includes: 0 or or or or or Where N RI_jt This indicates the number of all supported rank indicator combinations.

[0111] In one embodiment of this application, when the bit width of the first RI field is a fourth value:

[0112] (1) The first RI domain before The bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the first TRP, the preceding After bit The bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the Nth TRP;

[0113] (2) Alternatively, the first RI field's front The bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the first TRP, and the last bit of the first RI field The bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the second TRP;

[0114] (3) Alternatively, if the bit width of the first RI field is the fifth value, one codepoint of the first RI field corresponds to a set of rank indicators.

[0115] Where N is greater than or equal to 2.

[0116] For example, as shown in Table 3, when the NCJT measurement hypothesis is reported, if the index value of the RI field indicator is 2, it means that the set of rank indicators transmitted by NCJT is 2 and 1.

[0211] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0212] When the plurality of CSI reports include a multi-TPR (MTRP) CSI report, the terminal determines one or more of the transmission priorities of the CSI reports in the plurality of CSI reports, and the transmission priorities of the CSI content in the multi-TPR CSI reports.

[0213] The CSI content in the CSI report of the multiple TPR includes one or more of the following: CSI content corresponding to the joint transmission measurement assumption, CSI content corresponding to the STRP measurement assumption, broadband information of the joint transmission measurement assumption, broadband information of the TRP measurement assumption, subband information of the joint transmission measurement assumption, and subband information of the TRP measurement assumption.

[0214] For example, 1) When the granularity of PMI and CQI is subband, part1 has higher priority than part2 wideband, and part2 wideband has higher priority than part2 subband;

[0215] 2) When the granularity of PMI and CQI is subband, the priority of part1 is greater than that of part2 wideband, the priority of NCJT measurement hypothesis within part2 is greater than that of STRP measurement hypothesis within part2, and the priority of the wideband domain within part2 is greater than that of the subband domain within part2.

[0216] For example, when a CSI feedback is based on the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) or the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), if there are MTRP CSI reports among the multiple CSI reports, it is necessary to determine the priority among the multiple CSI reports and the priority of the content contained in the MTRP CSI reports.

[0217] In one embodiment of this application, the transmission priority of each CSI report among the plurality of CSI reports includes one or more of the following:

[0218] (1) For multiple non-periodic CSI reports based on PUSCH reports, and all of them are non-bearer layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) or layer 1 signal to interference plus noise ratio (L1-SINR), the CSI report of MTRP has higher priority than the CSI report of non-MTRP.

[0219] (2) Multiple semi-persistent CSI reports based on PUSCH reports, all of which are non-bearer L1-RSRP or L1-SINR reports. The CSI reports of MTRP have higher priority than the CSI reports of non-MTRP reports.

[0220] (3) Multiple semi-persistent CSI reports based on PUCCH reports, all of which are non-bearer L1-RSRP or L1-SINR reports, with MTRP CSI reports having higher priority than non-MTRP CSI reports;

[0221] (4) Multiple periodic CSI reports based on PUCCH reports, all of which are non-bearer L1-RSRP or L1-SINR reports. CSI reports for MTRP have higher priority than CSI reports for non-MTRP reports.

[0222] In other words, for multiple non-periodic CSI reports based on PUSCH reports / multiple semi-persistent CSI reports based on PUSCH reports / multiple semi-persistent CSI reports based on PUCCH reports / multiple periodic CSI reports based on PUCCH reports, and all of them are non-bearer L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, the CSI reports of MTRP have higher priority than the CSI reports of non-MTRP, or vice versa.

[0223] For example: MTRP CSI reports have higher priority than non-MTRP CSI reports; the corresponding calculation formula might be: Pri iCSI (y,k,m,c,s)=2·N cells ·M s ·y+N cells ·M s ·k+N cells ·M s ·m / 2+Ms·c+s, where m=0 indicates that the report carries an MTRP CSI report, and m=1 indicates that the report carries a STRP CSI report.

[0224] In one embodiment of this application, one or more of the following are included:

[0225] The transmission priority of the joint transmission measurement hypothesis is higher than the transmission priority of the STRP measurement hypothesis;

[0226] The transmission priority of the joint transmission measurement assumption broadband information and the TRP measurement assumption broadband information is higher than the transmission priority of the joint transmission measurement assumption subband information and the TRP measurement assumption subband information.

[0227] In one embodiment of this application, when the joint transmission measurement assumption reports only one CRI representation and includes multiple RIs, PMIs, and LIs, the mapping order needs to match the order of the CRIs or the CMRs indicated by the CRIs.

[0228] a) For example: CRI0 is defined as a pair of CMRs associated with CMR1 and CMR2 (the joint transmission measurement assumption). The mapping order is to first map the RI, PMI, and LI associated with CMR1, and then map the RI, PMI, and LI associated with CMR2.

[0229] b) For example: CRI0 is defined as CMR1 in CMR1 and CMR2 (a pair of CMRs associated with the joint transmission measurement hypothesis). The mapping order is to first map the RI, PMI, and LI associated with CMR1, and then map the RI, PMI, and LI associated with CMR2.

[0230] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal can report the content of one or more measurement assumptions of various measurement assumption types to the network-side device through the first field of the CSI report, which reduces the feedback overhead of the CSI report and can better support MTRP transmission.

[0231] See Figure 3 This application provides a CSI feedback method, the specific steps of which include: step 301.

[0232] Step 301: The network-side device receives one or more CSI reports, wherein the CSI report includes a first field corresponding to the first measurement hypothesis;

[0233] The first measurement hypothesis includes: X STRP measurement hypotheses and 1 joint transmission measurement hypothesis, where X is a positive integer; or, the first measurement hypothesis is one of all STRP measurement hypotheses and joint transmission measurement hypotheses.

[0234] Understandable, Figure 3 The description of the first domain and the first hypothesis in the illustrated embodiments can be found in [reference]. Figure 2 The embodiments shown will not be described in detail here.

[0235] In one embodiment of this application, when the first field is an RI field and the first measurement hypothesis is one of all STRP measurement hypotheses and joint transport measurement hypotheses, the bit width of the RI field is determined according to one or more of the following:

[0236] (1) Number of antenna ports, for example, 1 antenna port, 2 antenna ports, 4 antenna ports, and more than 4 antenna ports;

[0237] (2) The number of rank indicators allowed for a single TRP transmission and the corresponding bit width length;

[0238] (3) The bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed for joint transmission;

[0239] (4) The number of all rank indicators or combinations of rank indicators supported by the terminal.

[0240] In one embodiment of this application, the bit width of the RI field is one of the following:

[0241] (1) A first value, which includes: 0, or or or or or

[0242] Taking N=2 as an example, when each of the two TRPs has only one antenna port, the bit width of the RI field is 0; when one TRP has only one antenna port and the other TRP has two antenna ports, the bit width is... When one TRP has two antenna ports and another TRP has two antenna ports, the bitwidth is... When one TRP has two antenna ports and another TRP has four antenna ports, the bitwidth is... When one TRP has four antenna ports and another TRP has four antenna ports, the bitwidth is... When each TRP has more than four antenna ports, the bitwidth is...

[0243] (2) The second value, which includes: 0 or or or or or Where N RI_jt Indicates the number of all supported rank indicator combinations;

[0244] (3) A third value, wherein the third value includes: 0 or Where N RI Indicates the number of all supported rank indicators or combinations of rank indicators;

[0245] in, This indicates the bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed for the first TRP STRP transmission. This indicates the bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed during the first TRP joint transmission; This indicates the bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed for NTRP STRP transmissions. This indicates the bit width length corresponding to the number of rank indicators allowed during NTRP joint transmission, where N is greater than or equal to 2.

[0246] In one embodiment of this application, when the bit width of the RI field is a first value, if the first measurement hypothesis is the STRP measurement hypothesis, then one codepoint of the RI field corresponds to one rank indicator; if the first measurement hypothesis is the joint transmission measurement hypothesis, then the first bit width of the RI field corresponds to one rank indicator. The bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the first TRP, the preceding After Bit The bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the NTRP; or the first bit of the RI field. The bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the first TRP, and the latter part of the RI field Each bit corresponds to a rank indicator of the NTRP.

[0247] In one embodiment of this application, when the bit width of the RI field is a second value, if the first measurement hypothesis is the STRP measurement hypothesis, then one code point of the RI field corresponds to one rank indicator; if the first measurement hypothesis is the joint transmission measurement hypothesis, then one code point of the RI field corresponds to a set of rank indicators.

[0248] For example, as shown in Table 1, when the joint transmission measurement hypothesis is reported, if the index value of the RI field is 2, it means that the set of rank indicators for the JT transmission is 2 and 1.

[0249] In one embodiment of this application, when the bit width of the RI field is a third value, one code point of the RI field corresponds to one rank indicator or a set of rank indicators.

[0250] For example, as shown in Table 2, when the index value of the RI field is 2, it indicates a STRP transmission with a rank of 3. When the index value of the RI field is 10, it indicates a JT transmission with a rank of 2 and 1.

[0251] In one embodiment of this application, when the first measurement hypothesis is one of all STRP measurement hypotheses and joint transmission measurement hypotheses, the bit width of the Channel State Information Reference Signal Resource Indicator (CSI-RSresource indicator, CRI) field in the CSI report is: Where K s This indicates the number of channel measurement resources that are reported and associated, where N represents the number of CMR pairs that are reported and associated.

[0252] One of the CMR pairs is used to measure a joint transmission measurement hypothesis, where N can represent the number of joint transmission measurement hypotheses that need to be measured.

[0253] In one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0254] If the first measurement hypothesis is one of all STRP measurement hypotheses and joint transport measurement hypotheses, the network-side device uses the first field in the CSI report, or the type of the first measurement hypothesis is either a STRP measurement hypothesis or a joint transport measurement hypothesis.

[0255] The first field is one of the following:

[0256] (1) CRI domain;

[0257] For example: K s When =2 and N=1, the CRI field adopts the aforementioned definition method, CRI0 represents CMR1, CRI1 represents CMR2, and CRI2 represents both CMR1 and CMR2. Therefore, when a user reports CRI2, it indicates the joint transmission measurement assumption.

[0258] (2) RI domain;

[0259] The RI field adopts the definition method described above.

[0260] Alternatively, it can be indicated by other combinations of RI, such as: K s When RI = 2 and N = 1, if the user reports RI1 = 0 and RI2 = 1, where only RI2 is a valid value, then the user reports the STRP measurement hypothesis and the corresponding TRP for RI2; if the user reports RI1 = 1 and RI2 = 1, where both are valid values, then the user reports the joint transmission measurement hypothesis.

[0261] The valid values ​​are determined based on RI restrictions, the number of ports, and the RI combinations supported by joint transmission;

[0283] Where N is greater than or equal to 2.

[0284] For example, as shown in Table 3, when the NCJT measurement hypothesis is reported, if the index value of the RI field indicator is 2, it means that the set of rank indicators transmitted by NCJT is 2 and 1.

[0285] In one embodiment of this application, when the number of RI fields is X+1 or X+2, and X=1, the second RI field corresponds to one STRP measurement hypothesis, and the bit width of the second RI field is determined according to one or more of the following:

[0330] (1) At least part of the mapping content of the joint transmission measurement assumption;

[0331] (2) At least part of the mapping content of the STRP measurement hypothesis.

[0332] In one embodiment of this application, the transmission priority of each CSI report among the plurality of CSI reports includes one or more of the following:

[0333] (1) For multiple non-periodic CSI reports based on PUSCH reports, and all of them are non-bearer layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) or layer 1 signal to interference plus noise ratio (L1-SINR), the CSI report of MTRP has higher priority than the CSI report of non-MTRP.

[0334] (2) Multiple semi-persistent CSI reports based on PUSCH reports, all of which are non-bearer L1-RSRP or L1-SINR reports. The CSI reports of MTRP have higher priority than the CSI reports of non-MTRP reports.

[0335] (3) Multiple semi-persistent CSI reports based on PUCCH reports, all of which are non-bearer L1-RSRP or L1-SINR reports, with MTRP CSI reports having higher priority than non-MTRP CSI reports;

[0336] (4) Multiple periodic CSI reports based on PUCCH reports, all of which are non-bearer L1-RSRP or L1-SINR reports. CSI reports for MTRP have higher priority than CSI reports for non-MTRP reports.

[0337] In other words, for multiple non-periodic CSI reports based on PUSCH reports / multiple semi-persistent CSI reports based on PUSCH reports / multiple semi-persistent CSI reports based on PUCCH reports / multiple periodic CSI reports based on PUCCH reports, and all of them are non-bearer L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, the CSI reports of MTRP have higher priority than the CSI reports of non-MTRP, or vice versa.

[0338] For example: MTRP CSI reports have higher priority than non-MTRP CSI reports; the corresponding calculation formula might be: Pri iCSI (y,k,m,c,s)=2·N cells ·M s ·y+N cells ·M s ·k+N cells ·M s ·m / 2+Ms·c+s, where m=0 indicates that the report carries a CSI report of MTRP, and m=1 indicates that the report carries a CSI report of STRP.

[0342] In one embodiment of this application, when the joint transmission measurement assumption reports only one CRI representation and includes multiple RIs, PMIs, and LIs, the mapping order needs to match the order of the CRIs or the CMRs indicated by the CRIs.

[0343] a) For example: CRI0 is defined as a pair of CMRs associated with CMR1 and CMR2 (the joint transmission measurement assumption). The mapping order is to first map the RI, PMI, and LI associated with CMR1, and then map the RI, PMI, and LI associated with CMR2.

[0344] b) For example: CRI0 is defined as CMR1 in CMR1 and CMR2 (a pair of CMRs associated with the joint transmission measurement hypothesis). The mapping order is to first map the RI, PMI, and LI associated with CMR1, and then map the RI, PMI, and LI associated with CMR2.

[0345] In this embodiment of the application, the terminal can report the content of one or more measurement assumptions of various measurement assumption types to the network-side device through the first field of the CSI report, which reduces the feedback overhead of the CSI report and can better support MTRP transmission.

[0346] The embodiments of this application are described below with reference to Embodiments 1 to 6.

[0347] Example 1:

[0348] When the higher-layer signaling is configured so that the UE selects the optimal measurement hypothesis to report, and CMR0 and CMR1 are configured in the CSI reporting setting, if the UE selects a STRP measurement hypothesis corresponding to CMR0 to report, the UE can inform the base station that the CSI report corresponds to a STRP measurement hypothesis by setting the CRI field of the CSI report to CRI0; if the UE selects an NCJT measurement hypothesis corresponding to both CMR0 and CMR1 to report, the UE can inform the base station that the CSI report corresponds to an NCJT measurement hypothesis by setting the CRI field of the CSI report to CRI2.

[0349] The definition of CRI is shown in Table 4.

[0350] Table 4

[0351] CRI0 CRI1 CRI2 CMR0 CMR1 CMR0 and CMR1

[0352] Example 2:

[0353] When the higher-layer signaling is configured so that the UE selects the optimal measurement hypothesis to report, and CMR0 and CMR1 are configured in the CSI reporting setting, if the UE selects a STRP measurement hypothesis corresponding to CMR0 to report, the UE can inform the base station that the CSI report corresponds to a STRP measurement hypothesis by setting CRI0 in the CRI field of the CSI report and setting 0 (adding 1 bit) in the NCJT indication field of the CSI report; if the UE selects an NCJT measurement hypothesis corresponding to both CMR0 and CMR2 to report, the UE can inform the base station that the CSI report corresponds to an NCJT measurement hypothesis by setting CRI0 or CRI1 in the CRI field of the CSI report and setting 1 in the NCJT indication field of the CSI report.

[0354] Example 3:

[0355] When the higher-layer signaling is configured to allow the UE to report two STRP measurement hypotheses and one NCJT measurement hypothesis, and CMR0 and CMR1 are configured in the CSI reporting setting, then there are three RI-related fields in the CSI report. The first RI field corresponds to CMR0 and is associated with a STRP measurement hypothesis, the second RI field corresponds to CMR1 and is associated with a STRP measurement hypothesis, and the third RI field corresponds to CMR0 and CMR1 and is associated with an NCJT measurement hypothesis. The third RI field indicates that an index value corresponds to a set of rank values, as shown in Table 5.

[0356] Table 5

[0357] Index A set of rank indicators 0 (1,1) 1 (1,2) 2 (2,1) 3 (2,2) … …

[0358] If the index value of the indicator is 1, then the rank indicator value corresponding to CMR0 is 1, and the rank indicator value corresponding to CMR1 is 2.

[0359] Example 4:

[0360] When the higher-layer signaling is configured to allow the UE to report the optimal measurement hypothesis and CMR0 and CMR1 are configured in the CSI reporting setting, there is one RI-related field in the CSI report. When the UE indicates the TRP report content to be a STRP CSI corresponding to CMR0 through other means, the RI field indicates the value of the rank indicator of a STRP measurement hypothesis associated with the corresponding CMR0. When the UE indicates the TRP report content to be an NCJT CSI corresponding to CMR0 and CMR1 through other means, the RI field indicates a set of rank values, as shown in Table 6.

[0361] Table 6

[0362] Index A set of rank indicators 0 (1,1) 1 (1,2) 2 (2,1) 3 (2,2) … …

[0363] If the index value of the indicator is 1, then the rank indicator value corresponding to CMR0 is 1, and the rank indicator value corresponding to CMR1 is 2.

[0364] Example 5:

[0365] When the higher-layer signaling is configured to allow the UE to report the optimal measurement hypothesis and CMR0 and CMR1 are configured in the CSI reporting setting, the RI-related field in the CSI report will have one field. The STRP transmission rank supported by TRP0 corresponding to CMR0 will be rank 1 / 2 / 3 (2 bits), and the STRP transmission rank supported by TRP1 corresponding to CMR1 will be rank 2 / 3 (1 bit). The set of rank indicators for NCJT transmission supported by TRP0 and TRP1 corresponding to CMR0 and CMR1 will be <1,2> ​​and <2,2> (1 bit), respectively. Therefore, the bitwidth of the RI field in the CSI report will be 2 bits. When the UE selects to report the NCJT transmission hypothesis, the set of rank indicators corresponding to "00" will be <1,2>, and the set of rank indicators corresponding to "01" will be <2,2>.

[0366] Example 6:

[0367] When the higher-layer signaling is configured to allow the UE to report the optimal STRP measurement hypothesis and the optimal NCJT measurement hypothesis, and CMR0 and CMR1 are configured in the CSI reporting setting, then there are two RI-related fields in the CSI report. The first RI field corresponds to one STRP measurement hypothesis, and the second RI field corresponds to one NCJT measurement hypothesis. The STRP transmission rank indicator that CMR0 can support for TRP0 is rank 1 / 2 / 3 (2 bits), the STRP transmission rank that CMR1 can support for TRP1 is rank 2 / 3 (1 bit), and the rank indicators that TRP0 and TRP1 support for NCJT transmission for CMR0 and CMR1 are <1,2> ​​and <2,2> (1 bit). Therefore, the bit width of the first RI field corresponding to the CSI report is 2 bits, and the bit width of the second RI field corresponding to the CSI report is 1 bit.
