[0024] Exemplary embodiments are described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, identical numerals in different drawings represent identical or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure.

[0025] The communication method involved in the present disclosure can be applied to Figure 1 In the wireless communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1 , the network system may include a network device 110 and a terminal 120. It is understood that Figure 1 The wireless communication system shown is only for schematic illustration. The wireless communication system may also include other network devices, such as core network devices, wireless relay devices, and wireless backhaul devices. Figure 1 The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the number of network devices and terminals included in the wireless communication system.

[0026] It can be further understood that the wireless communication system of the embodiment of the present disclosure is a network that provides wireless communication functions. The wireless communication system can adopt different communication technologies, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Single Carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA), and Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance. According to factors such as the capacity, rate, and latency of different networks, the network can be divided into 2G (English: Generation) network, 3G network, 4G network or future evolution network, such as the 5th Generation Wireless Communication System (5G) network. The 5G network can also be called a new radio network (NR). For the convenience of description, the present disclosure sometimes refers to the wireless communication network as simply a network.

[0027] Furthermore, the network device 110 involved in the present disclosure may also be referred to as a wireless access network device. The wireless access network device may be: a base station, an evolved Node B (eNB), a home base station, an access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WIFI) system, a wireless relay node, a wireless backhaul node, a transmission point (TP) or a TRP, etc. It may also be a gNB in ​​an NR system, or it may also be a component or part of a base station. When it is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the network device may also be an on-board device. It should be understood that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the network device are not limited.

[0028] Furthermore, the terminal 120 involved in the present disclosure may also be referred to as a terminal device, user equipment (UE), mobile station (MS), mobile terminal (MT), etc., which is a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to users. For example, the terminal may be a handheld device with wireless connection function, a vehicle-mounted device, etc. At present, some examples of terminals are: smart phones (Mobile Phones), pocket personal computers (PPCs), handheld computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), laptop computers, tablet computers, wearable devices, or vehicle-mounted devices, etc. In addition, when it is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication system, the terminal device may also be a vehicle-mounted device. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the specific technology and specific device form adopted by the terminal.

[0029] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the network device 110 and the terminal 120 can use any feasible wireless communication technology to achieve mutual data transmission. The transmission channel corresponding to the transmission of data from the network device 110 to the terminal 120 is called a downlink channel (DL), and the transmission channel corresponding to the transmission of data from the terminal 120 to the network device 110 is called an uplink channel (UL). It is understood that the network device involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be a base station. Of course, the network device can also be any other possible network device, and the terminal can be any possible terminal, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0030] Currently, related technologies discuss the use of multiple TRPs by network devices to serve terminals. For example, a network device may use four TRPs to serve a terminal. In this case, whether the TRPs used for coherent joint transmission (CJT) are configured by the network device or selected by the terminal is an ongoing issue. The multiple TRPs mentioned above can belong to the terminal's serving cell and / or neighboring cells.

[0031] Each TRP can correspond to one NZP CSI-RS. In other words, the issue currently under discussion can be considered as which NZP CSI-RS are used for CSI feedback, and whether it is configured by the network equipment or selected by the terminal.

[0032] In some solutions, for example, if a network device is configured with four NZP CSI-RSs, and the terminal does not select a particular NZP CSI-RS, it means that the terminal has not selected the TRP corresponding to that NZP CSI-RS. Therefore, how the terminal should inform the network device of the selected NZP CSI-RSs and how to indicate the CSI corresponding to the NZP CSI-RSs is a problem that needs to be solved.

[0033] Therefore, the present disclosure provides a channel state information feedback method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. Parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources is fed back in the channel state information sent to the network device, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0034] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a channel state information feedback method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the method is applied to the terminal and may include the following steps:

[0035] In step S11 , configuration information sent by a network device is received, and at least one channel measurement resource CMR is determined based on the configuration information.

[0036] In some embodiments, a terminal receives configuration information sent by a network device. The terminal may determine at least one channel measurement resource (CMR) based on the received configuration information, wherein a target CMR in the at least one CMR includes multiple NZP CSI-RSs.

[0037] It is understood that the target CMR can be considered as the CMR used by the terminal for channel measurement. One CMR corresponds to one CSI. In one CMR, different TRPs can correspond to different NZP CSI-RSs.

[0038] In some embodiments, the configuration information received by the terminal may be carried in radio resource control (RRC) signaling and / or a medium access control element (MAC CE).

[0039] In step S12, channel state information CSI is sent to the network device.

[0040] In some embodiments, the terminal may send CSI to the network device, where the CSI is obtained by the terminal through channel measurement based on the target CMR.

[0041] It can be understood that the terminal can perform measurement based on at least one NZP CSI-RS among the multiple NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR to obtain CSI.

[0042] In some embodiments, CSI may also be referred to as a CSI report.

[0043] The present disclosure feeds back parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources in the channel state information sent to the network device, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0044] In the channel state information feedback method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the CSI includes: first information and second information. The first information and the second information are different indication information corresponding to the NZP CSI-RS in the target CMR. The first information includes target NZP CSI-RS indication information. The target NZP CSI-RS indication information is used to indicate whether the NZP CSI-RS is a target NZP CSI-RS or a non-target NZP CSI-RS, and the target NZP CSI-RS is part or all of a plurality of NZP CSI-RSs.

[0045] In some embodiments, the CSI sent by the terminal to the network device may include first information and second information. For example, the CSI report may include two parts, namely, part 1 and part 2. Part 1 may correspond to the first information, and part 2 may correspond to the second information. The first information and the second information are different indication information corresponding to the NZP CSI-RS in the target CMR. It is understood that the first information and the second information are both used to describe the indication information of the NZP CSI-RS in the target CMR, but the first information and the second information are different indication information.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first information may include target NZP CSI-RS indication information. The target NZP CSI-RS indication information may be used to indicate whether the NZP CSI-RS is a target NZP CSI-RS or a non-target NZP CSI-RS. The target NZP CSI-RS may be part or all of the multiple NZP CSI-RSs.

[0047] It can be understood that the target NZP CSI-RS is the NZP CSI-RS whose channel quality is determined to meet the requirements after the terminal performs channel measurement. In other words, the terminal considers that the channel quality of such NZP CSI-RS is good and can communicate with the TRP corresponding to such NZP CSI-RS. Non-target NZP CSI-RS, on the other hand, are NZP CSI-RS whose channel quality does not meet the requirements. It can be considered that the channel quality of such NZP CSI-RS is poor, which is not conducive to terminal communication.

[0048] The present disclosure uses CSI to feedback parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0049] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the size of the indication field corresponding to the second information is determined based on the first information.

[0050] In some embodiments, the size of the indication field corresponding to the second information may be determined based on the first information.

[0051] For example, the size of part 2 of the CSI is determined based on the information in part 1. The size of part 2 indicates the number of bits occupied by part 2 of the CSI, such as 8 bits or 16 bits.

[0052] In some embodiments, the size of the indication field corresponding to the first information may be a fixed value, such as a pre-set value or a default size specified by a protocol.

[0053] The present disclosure dynamically adjusts the sizes of different parts of the CSI, which is conducive to feedback of parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0054] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first information also includes at least one of the following: channel state information reference signal resource indication CRI information; broadband channel quality information CQI; the number of non-zero broadband amplitude coefficients; non-zero coefficient number indication information; non-zero coefficient position indication information; mode indication; rank indication information.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first information may include channel state information reference signal resource indicator (CRI) information.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first information may include wideband channel quality information (CQI).

[0057] In some embodiments, the first information may include the number of non-zero wideband amplitude coefficients.

[0058] It can be understood that the number of non-zero broadband amplitude coefficients refers to the number of broadband amplitude coefficients with non-zero values.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first information may include non-zero coefficient number indication information.

[0060] It can be understood that the non-zero coefficient number indication information can indicate the number of coefficients whose coherent coefficients are non-zero.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first information may include non-zero coefficient position indication information.

[0062] It can be understood that the non-zero coefficient position indication information can indicate the position of the coefficient whose coherence coefficient is non-zero.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first information may include a mode indication.

[0064] For example, the mode indication can be used to indicate the CSI feedback mode, codebook mode, etc. The CSI feedback mode may include mode 1 and mode 2, where mode 1 is feedback based on a single TRP and mode 2 is feedback based on multiple TRPs. Of course, the CSI feedback mode may also include other modes, which is not limited in the present disclosure. The codebook mode may include codebook structure 1 and codebook structure 2, where codebook structure 1 feeds back a frequency domain basis vector (FD basis) information for all NZP CSI-RSs; and codebook structure 2 feeds back a frequency domain basis vector information for each NZP CSI-RS. The codebook mode may also include other modes, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first information may include rank indication information.

[0066] The present disclosure provides a variety of different first information included in CSI, and feeds back parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources through CSI, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0067] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the target NZP CSI-RS indication information includes N bits, where N is the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR, wherein the N bits correspond one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs; in response to the value of the bit being a specified value, it indicates that the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the bit is the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0068] In some embodiments, the target NZP CSI-RS indication information in the first information may include N bits. Where N is a positive integer. N represents the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. The N bits in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information correspond one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. That is, each bit can be used to describe whether the corresponding NZP CSI-RS is the target NZP CSI-RS. When a bit is a specified value, the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the bit can be considered to be the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0069] For example, the designated value of a bit may be “0” or “1.” Of course, the designated value may also be any other numerical value or symbol, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0070] It can be understood that the TRP corresponding to the determined target NZP CSI-RS is the TRP selected by the terminal for subsequent communication.

[0071] The present disclosure indicates the target NZP CSI-RS among multiple NZP CSI-RSs through the bit in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information, and uses CSI feedback to provide parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0072] In the channel state information feedback method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, target NZP CSI-RS indication information is indicated by N non-zero coefficient number indication information, where N is the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR, and the N non-zero coefficient number indication information corresponds one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs. In response to the non-zero coefficient number indication information being a specified value, the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient number indication information is the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0073] In some embodiments, the target NZP CSI-RS indication information in the first information can be implicitly indicated by N non-zero coefficient number indication information. Wherein, N is a positive integer. N represents the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. The N non-zero coefficient number indication information in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information corresponds one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. In other words, each non-zero coefficient number indication information can be used to describe whether the corresponding NZP CSI-RS is the target NZP CSI-RS. When the non-zero coefficient number indication information is a specified value, the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient number indication information can be considered to be the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0074] For example, the designated value of the non-zero coefficient number indication information may be that the number indicated by the non-zero coefficient number indication information is greater than 0. This indicates that the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient number indication information is the target NZP CSI-RS. Of course, any equivalent method may be used to determine the designated value of the non-zero coefficient number indication information, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0075] The present disclosure can indicate a target NZP CSI-RS among multiple NZP CSI-RSs through the non-zero coefficient number indication information in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information. By feeding back parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources through CSI, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs.

[0076] In the channel state information feedback method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, target NZP CSI-RS indication information is indicated by N non-zero coefficient position indication information, where N is the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR, and the N non-zero coefficient position indication information corresponds one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs. In response to the non-zero coefficient position indication information being a specified value, it indicates that the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient position indication information is the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0077] In some embodiments, the target NZP CSI-RS indication information in the first information can be implicitly indicated by N non-zero coefficient position indication information. Wherein, N is a positive integer. N represents the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. The N non-zero coefficient position indication information in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information corresponds one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. That is, each non-zero coefficient position indication information can be used to describe whether the corresponding NZP CSI-RS is the target NZP CSI-RS. When the non-zero coefficient position indication information is a specified value, the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient number indication information can be considered to be the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0078] For example, the non-zero coefficient position indication information may be a specified value, indicating that at least one position has a non-zero coherent coefficient. This indicates that the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient position indication information is the target NZP CSI-RS. Of course, any equivalent method may be used to determine the specified value of the non-zero coefficient position indication information, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0079] In some embodiments, the non-zero coefficient position indication information can be implemented through a non-zero coefficient bitmap. For example, the non-zero coefficient bitmap corresponding to the NZP CSI-RS can indicate that the coherence coefficient of the NZP CSI-RS is indicated as a specified value or 0. In response to the coherence coefficient being indicated as a specified value, it indicates that the coherence coefficient at that position is a non-zero coefficient; in response to the coherence coefficient being indicated as 0, it indicates that the coherence coefficient at that position is 0. It can be understood that the bitmap of the non-target NZP CSI-RS indicates that the coherence coefficients of the NZP CSI-RS are all 0. Only when the bitmap indicates the presence of a non-zero coefficient is the corresponding NZP CSI-RS considered to be the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0080] It can be understood that for the target NZP CSI-RS, there is at least one non-zero coefficient in its coherence coefficients, that is, a non-zero coefficient, while the coherence coefficients corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS are all 0.

[0081] The present disclosure can indicate a target NZP CSI-RS among multiple NZP CSI-RSs through the non-zero coefficient position indication information in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information. By feeding back parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources through CSI, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs.

[0082] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second information includes precoding matrix indicator (PMI) information, and the PMI information may include at least one of the following: spatial basis vector parameter information; frequency domain basis vector parameter information; non-zero coefficient position indication information; phase coefficient information; amplitude coefficient information.

[0083] In some embodiments, the second information may include PMI information. The PMI information may be used to describe the precoding matrix used by the NZP CSI-RS in the target CMR for downlink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) spatial multiplexing.

[0084] In some embodiments, the PMI information may include space domain basis (SD basis) parameter information.

[0085] In some embodiments, the PMI information may include FD basis parameter information.

[0086] In some embodiments, the PMI information may include non-zero coefficient position indication information.

[0087] It can be understood that, in response to the use of non-zero coefficient position indication information in the first information to implicitly indicate the target NZP CSI-RS indication information, the PMI information does not include the non-zero coefficient position indication information. In response to the use of non-zero coefficient position indication information in the first information to implicitly indicate the target NZP CSI-RS indication information, the PMI information may include the non-zero coefficient position indication information.

[0088] In some embodiments, the PMI information may include phase coefficient information.

[0089] In some embodiments, the PMI information may include amplitude coefficient information.

[0090] The present disclosure provides a variety of different information included in the second information of CSI, and feeds back parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources through CSI, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0091] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second information includes PMI information corresponding to the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0092] In some embodiments, the second information may include PMI information corresponding to the target NZP CSI-RS. Of course, the second information may also include or not include PMI information corresponding to non-target NZP CSI-RS.

[0093] In some embodiments, in response to the second information including the PMI information corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS, the PMI information corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS may be a default value, such as 0 or any other equivalent value, and the specific default value is not limited in this disclosure.

[0094] The present disclosure includes the PMI information corresponding to the target NZP CSI-RS in the second information of the CSI, and thus feeds back the parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on the channel measurement resource through the CSI, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0095] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second information does not include PMI information corresponding to NZP CSI-RSs other than the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0096] In some embodiments, the second information includes only the PMI information corresponding to the target NZP CSI-RS, and does not include the PMI information corresponding to NZP CSI-RS other than the target NZP CSI-RS, that is, does not include the PMI information corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS.

[0097] In some embodiments, the second information does not include PMI information corresponding to NZP CSI-RSs other than the target NZP CSI-RS, and may not include SD basis parameter information, FD basis parameter information, phase coefficient information, and amplitude coefficient information.

[0098] The present disclosure reduces the size of the CSI by including only the PMI information corresponding to the target NZP CSI-RS in the second information of the CSI, but not including the PMI information corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS. This reduces the signaling overhead of CSI reporting when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs.

[0099] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the spatial basis vector parameter information may include at least one of the following: oversampling information; beam selection information.

[0100] In some embodiments, the SD basis parameter information may include oversampling information.

[0101] For example, the oversampling information may correspond to O1 information and O2 information, wherein the O1 information is the oversampling factor of the first dimension and the O2 information is the oversampling factor of the second dimension.

[0102] In some embodiments, the SD basis parameter information may include beam selection information.

[0103] For example, the beam selection information corresponds to L beams selected from N1 and N2, where N1 is the number of antenna ports in the first dimension of the NZP CSI-RS and N2 is the number of antenna ports in the second dimension of the NZP CSI-RS.

[0110] In some embodiments, the phase coefficient information may include broadband phase coefficient information.

[0111] In some embodiments, the phase coefficient information may include narrowband phase coefficient information.

[0112] In some embodiments, the phase coefficient information may include phase coefficient information corresponding to the NZP CSI-RS.

[0113] It is understandable that the phase coefficient information corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS may not be indicated, or may be a default value, such as 0.

[0114] The present disclosure provides a variety of information including phase coefficient information, and feedbacks parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources through CSI, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0116] In some embodiments, the amplitude coefficient information may include broadband amplitude coefficient information.

[0117] In some embodiments, the amplitude coefficient information may include narrowband amplitude coefficient information.

[0118] In some embodiments, the amplitude coefficient information may include amplitude coefficient information corresponding to the NZP CSI-RS.

[0119] It is understandable that the amplitude coefficient information corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS may not be indicated, or may be a default value, such as 0.

[0120] The present disclosure provides a variety of information including amplitude coefficient information, and feedbacks parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources through CSI, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0121] Based on the same concept, the present disclosure also provides a channel state information feedback method executed by a network device side.

[0122] Figure 3 is a flow chart of another channel state information feedback method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the method is applied to a network device and may include the following steps:

[0123] In step S11, configuration information is sent to the terminal.

[0124] In some embodiments, a network device sends configuration information to a terminal. The configuration information may be used by the terminal to determine at least one CMR, wherein a target CMR in the at least one CMR includes multiple NZP CSI-RSs.

[0125] In some embodiments, the network device may send configuration information by means of RRC signaling and / or MAC CE.

[0126] In step S12, channel state information CSI sent by the terminal is received.

[0127] In some embodiments, the network device may receive CSI sent by the terminal, where the CSI is obtained by the terminal through channel measurement based on the target CMR.

[0128] It can be understood that the terminal can perform measurement based on at least one NZP CSI-RS among the multiple NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR to obtain CSI.

[0129] In some embodiments, CSI may also be referred to as a CSI report.

[0130] The present disclosure feeds back parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources in the channel state information sent to the network device, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0131] In the channel state information feedback method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the CSI includes: first information and second information. The first information and the second information are different indication information corresponding to the NZP CSI-RS in the target CMR. The first information includes target NZP CSI-RS indication information. The target NZP CSI-RS indication information is used to indicate whether the NZP CSI-RS is a target NZP CSI-RS or a non-target NZP CSI-RS, and the target NZP CSI-RS is part or all of a plurality of NZP CSI-RSs.

[0132] In some embodiments, the CSI received by the network device may include first information and second information. For example, the CSI report may include two parts, namely, part 1 and part 2. Part 1 may correspond to the first information, and part 2 may correspond to the second information. The first information and the second information are different indication information corresponding to the NZP CSI-RS in the target CMR. It is understood that the first information and the second information are both used to describe the indication information of the NZP CSI-RS in the target CMR, but the first information and the second information are different indication information.

[0133] In some embodiments, the first information may include target NZP CSI-RS indication information. The target NZP CSI-RS indication information may be used to indicate whether the NZP CSI-RS is a target NZP CSI-RS or a non-target NZP CSI-RS. The target NZP CSI-RS may be part or all of the multiple NZP CSI-RSs.

[0134] It can be understood that the target NZP CSI-RS is the NZP CSI-RS whose channel quality is determined to meet the requirements after the terminal performs channel measurement. In other words, the terminal considers that the channel quality of such NZP CSI-RS is good and can communicate with the TRP corresponding to such NZP CSI-RS. Non-target NZP CSI-RS, on the other hand, are NZP CSI-RS whose channel quality does not meet the requirements. It can be considered that the channel quality of such NZP CSI-RS is poor, which is not conducive to terminal communication.

[0135] The present disclosure uses CSI to feedback parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0136] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the size of the indication field corresponding to the second information is determined based on the first information.

[0137] In some embodiments, the size of the indication field corresponding to the second information may be determined based on the first information.

[0138] For example, the size of CSI Part 2 is determined based on the information in Part 1. The size of Part 2 indicates the number of bits occupied by CSI Part 2, such as 8 bits or 16 bits.

[0139] In some embodiments, the size of the indication field corresponding to the first information may be a fixed value, such as a pre-set value or a default size specified by a protocol.

[0140] The present disclosure dynamically adjusts the sizes of different parts of the CSI, which is conducive to feedback of parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0141] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first information also includes at least one of the following: channel state information reference signal resource indication CRI information; broadband channel quality information CQI; the number of non-zero broadband amplitude coefficients; non-zero coefficient number indication information; non-zero coefficient position indication information; mode indication; rank indication information.

[0142] In some embodiments, the first information may include CRI information.

[0143] In some embodiments, the first information may include a wideband CQI.

[0144] In some embodiments, the first information may include the number of non-zero wideband amplitude coefficients.

[0145] It can be understood that the number of non-zero broadband amplitude coefficients refers to the number of broadband amplitude coefficients with non-zero values.

[0146] In some embodiments, the first information may include non-zero coefficient number indication information.

[0147] It can be understood that the non-zero coefficient number indication information can indicate the number of coefficients whose coherent coefficients are non-zero.

[0148] In some embodiments, the first information may include non-zero coefficient position indication information.

[0149] It can be understood that the non-zero coefficient position indication information can indicate the position of the coefficient whose coherence coefficient is non-zero.

[0150] In some embodiments, the first information may include a mode indication.

[0151] For example, the mode indication can be used to indicate the CSI feedback mode, codebook mode, etc. The CSI feedback mode may include mode 1 and mode 2, where mode 1 is feedback based on a single TRP and mode 2 is feedback based on multiple TRPs. Of course, the CSI feedback mode may also include other modes, which is not limited in the present disclosure. The codebook mode may include codebook structure 1 and codebook structure 2, where codebook structure 1 feeds back a frequency domain basis vector (FD basis) information for all NZP CSI-RSs; and codebook structure 2 feeds back a frequency domain basis vector information for each NZP CSI-RS. The codebook mode may also include other modes, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0152] In some embodiments, the first information may include rank indication information.

[0153] The present disclosure provides a variety of different first information included in CSI, and feeds back parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources through CSI, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0154] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the target NZP CSI-RS indication information includes N bits, where N is the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR, wherein the N bits correspond one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs; in response to the value of the bit being a specified value, it indicates that the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the bit is the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0155] In some embodiments, the target NZP CSI-RS indication information in the first information may include N bits. Where N is a positive integer. N represents the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. The N bits in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information correspond one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. That is, each bit can be used to describe whether the corresponding NZP CSI-RS is the target NZP CSI-RS. When a bit is a specified value, the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the bit can be considered to be the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0156] For example, the designated value of a bit may be “0” or “1.” Of course, the designated value may also be any other numerical value or symbol, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0157] It can be understood that the TRP corresponding to the determined target NZP CSI-RS is the TRP selected by the terminal for subsequent communication.

[0158] The present disclosure indicates the target NZP CSI-RS among multiple NZP CSI-RSs through the bit in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information, and uses CSI feedback to provide parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0159] In the channel state information feedback method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, target NZP CSI-RS indication information is indicated by N non-zero coefficient number indication information, where N is the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR, and the N non-zero coefficient number indication information corresponds one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs. In response to the non-zero coefficient number indication information being a specified value, the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient number indication information is the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0160] In some embodiments, the target NZP CSI-RS indication information in the first information can be implicitly indicated by N non-zero coefficient number indication information. Wherein, N is a positive integer. N represents the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. The N non-zero coefficient number indication information in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information corresponds one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. In other words, each non-zero coefficient number indication information can be used to describe whether the corresponding NZP CSI-RS is the target NZP CSI-RS. When the non-zero coefficient number indication information is a specified value, the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient number indication information can be considered to be the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0161] For example, the designated value of the non-zero coefficient number indication information may be that the number indicated by the non-zero coefficient number indication information is greater than 0. This indicates that the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient number indication information is the target NZP CSI-RS. Of course, any equivalent method may be used to determine the designated value of the non-zero coefficient number indication information, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0162] The present disclosure can indicate a target NZP CSI-RS among multiple NZP CSI-RSs through the non-zero coefficient number indication information in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information. By feeding back parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources through CSI, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs.

[0163] In the channel state information feedback method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, target NZP CSI-RS indication information is indicated by N non-zero coefficient position indication information, where N is the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR, and the N non-zero coefficient position indication information corresponds one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs. In response to the non-zero coefficient position indication information being a specified value, it indicates that the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient position indication information is the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0164] In some embodiments, the target NZP CSI-RS indication information in the first information can be implicitly indicated by N non-zero coefficient position indication information. Wherein, N is a positive integer. N represents the number of NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. The N non-zero coefficient position indication information in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information corresponds one-to-one to the N NZP CSI-RSs included in the target CMR. That is, each non-zero coefficient position indication information can be used to describe whether the corresponding NZP CSI-RS is the target NZP CSI-RS. When the non-zero coefficient position indication information is a specified value, the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient number indication information can be considered to be the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0165] For example, the non-zero coefficient position indication information may be a specified value, indicating that at least one position has a non-zero coherent coefficient. This indicates that the NZP CSI-RS corresponding to the non-zero coefficient position indication information is the target NZP CSI-RS. Of course, any equivalent method may be used to determine the specified value of the non-zero coefficient position indication information, and this disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0166] In some embodiments, the non-zero coefficient position indication information can be implemented through a non-zero coefficient bitmap. For example, the non-zero coefficient bitmap corresponding to the NZP CSI-RS can indicate that the coherence coefficient of the NZP CSI-RS is indicated as a specified value or 0. In response to the coherence coefficient indication being a specified value, it means that the coherence coefficient at that position is a non-zero coefficient; in response to the coherence coefficient indication being 0, it means that the coherence coefficient at that position is 0. It can be understood that the bitmap of the non-target NZP CSI-RS indicates that the coherence coefficients of the NZP CSI-RS are all 0. Only when the bitmap indicates the presence of a non-zero coefficient is the corresponding NZP CSI-RS considered to be the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0167] It can be understood that for the target NZP CSI-RS, there is at least one non-zero coefficient in its coherence coefficients, that is, a non-zero coefficient, while the coherence coefficients corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS are all 0.

[0168] The present disclosure can indicate a target NZP CSI-RS among multiple NZP CSI-RSs through the non-zero coefficient position indication information in the target NZP CSI-RS indication information. By feeding back parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources through CSI, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs.

[0169] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second information includes PMI information, and the PMI information may include at least one of the following: spatial basis vector parameter information; frequency domain basis vector parameter information; non-zero coefficient position indication information; phase coefficient information; amplitude coefficient information.

[0170] In some embodiments, the second information may include PMI information. The PMI information may be used to describe the precoding matrix used by the NZP CSI-RS in the target CMR for downlink MIMO spatial multiplexing.

[0171] In some embodiments, the PMI information may include SD basis parameter information.

[0172] In some embodiments, the PMI information may include FD basis parameter information.

[0173] In some embodiments, the PMI information may include non-zero coefficient position indication information.

[0174] It can be understood that, in response to the use of non-zero coefficient position indication information in the first information to implicitly indicate the target NZP CSI-RS indication information, the PMI information does not include the non-zero coefficient position indication information. In response to the use of non-zero coefficient position indication information in the first information to implicitly indicate the target NZP CSI-RS indication information, the PMI information may include the non-zero coefficient position indication information.

[0175] In some embodiments, the PMI information may include phase coefficient information.

[0176] In some embodiments, the PMI information may include amplitude coefficient information.

[0177] The present disclosure provides a variety of different information included in the second information of CSI, and feeds back parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources through CSI, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0178] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second information includes PMI information corresponding to the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0179] In some embodiments, the second information may include PMI information corresponding to the target NZP CSI-RS. Of course, the second information may also include or not include PMI information corresponding to non-target NZP CSI-RS.

[0180] In some embodiments, in response to the second information including the PMI information corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS, the PMI information corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS may be a default value, such as 0 or any other equivalent value, and the specific default value is not limited in this disclosure.

[0181] The present disclosure includes the PMI information corresponding to the target NZP CSI-RS in the second information of the CSI, and thus feeds back the parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on the channel measurement resource through the CSI, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.

[0182] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second information does not include PMI information corresponding to NZP CSI-RSs other than the target NZP CSI-RS.

[0183] In some embodiments, the second information includes only the PMI information corresponding to the target NZP CSI-RS, and does not include the PMI information corresponding to NZP CSI-RS other than the target NZP CSI-RS, that is, does not include the PMI information corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS.

[0184] In some embodiments, the second information does not include PMI information corresponding to NZP CSI-RSs other than the target NZP CSI-RS, and may not include SD basis parameter information, FD basis parameter information, phase coefficient information, and amplitude coefficient information.

[0185] The present disclosure reduces the size of the CSI by including only the PMI information corresponding to the target NZP CSI-RS in the second information of the CSI, but not including the PMI information corresponding to the non-target NZP CSI-RS. This reduces the signaling overhead of CSI reporting when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs.

[0186] In the channel state information feedback method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the spatial basis vector parameter information may include at least one of the following: oversampling information; beam selection information.

[0187] In some embodiments, the SD basis parameter information may include oversampling information.

[0189] In some embodiments, the SD basis parameter information may include beam selection information.

[0190] For example, the beam selection information corresponds to L beams selected from N1 and N2, where N1 is the number of antenna ports in the first dimension of the NZP CSI-RS and N2 is the number of antenna ports in the second dimension of the NZP CSI-RS.

[0191] The present disclosure provides a variety of information including spatial basis vector parameter information, and feedbacks parameter information corresponding to at least one NZP CSI-RS measured based on channel measurement resources through CSI, so that when the terminal communicates with multiple TRPs, the signaling overhead of CSI reporting can be reduced.
