Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a reporting method, configuration method and apparatus, device, medium, chip and module. Background Technology

[0002] Channel State Information (CSI) is the channel attribute of a wireless communication link. It describes the attenuation factor of the signal on each transmission path, that is, the value of each element in the channel gain matrix H, such as signal scattering, fading (multi-path fading or shadowing fading), and power decay of distance.

[0003] The 3GPP NR Release 15 / R16 protocols support beam measurement and reporting, where beams are characterized using reference signals. For beam measurements and CSI reports based on non-beamgroups, the CSI report may include one or more reference signal indices and the corresponding measurement results, L1-RSRP or L1-SINR values. The Release 15 / R16 protocols also support beamgroup-based CSI measurements and reporting, but a CSI report contains only one beamgroup; and a CSI report is associated with only one resource set.

[0004] Release 17 is standardizing beam enhancement across multiple Transmission and Reception Point (TRP) scenarios to further optimize and improve beam management mechanisms. However, it does not provide a specific technical solution for the composition of CSI reports. Summary of the Invention

The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0109] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element. Furthermore, components, features, and elements with the same names in different embodiments of this application may have the same meaning or different meanings, the specific meaning of which must be determined by its interpretation in that specific embodiment or further in conjunction with the context of that specific embodiment.

[0110] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used herein to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this document, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if," as used herein, can be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination." Furthermore, as used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to also include the plural forms unless the context indicates otherwise. It should be further understood that the terms "comprising," "including," indicate the presence of the stated feature, step, operation, element, component, item, kind, and / or group, but do not exclude the presence, occurrence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, kinds, and / or groups. The terms "or" and "and / or" as used herein are to be interpreted as inclusive, or mean any one or any combination thereof. Therefore, "A, B, or C" or "A, B, and / or C" means "any one of the following: A; B; C; A and B; A and C; B and C; A, B, and C". Exceptions to this definition will only occur if the combination of elements, functions, steps, or operations is inherently mutually exclusive in some way.

The terminal, through measurement, obtains that the two beams or reference signals included in Beam Pair / Group 1 (corresponding to the first Beam Pair / Group mentioned above) in the CSI report are respectively from the resource corresponding to resource index 10 in resource set 1 and the resource corresponding to resource index 22 in resource set 2, and the two beams or reference signals included in Beam Pair / Group 2 (corresponding to the second Beam Pair / Group mentioned above) are respectively from the resource corresponding to resource index 11 in resource set 1 and the resource corresponding to resource index 23 in resource set 2. Where the L1-RSRP or L1-SINR corresponding to resource index 10 from resource set 1 has the largest, smallest, or arbitrary value, then the L1-RSRP or L1-SINR corresponding to resource index 10 from resource set 1 can be used as the reference L1-RSRP or L1-SINR. Assume Beam Pair / Group 1 is represented by reference signal 10 and reference signal 22; Beam Pair / Group 2 is represented by reference signal 11 and reference signal 23. Then the CSI reported by the terminal device may include the following information:
