Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In related new radio (NR) technology, precoding matrix indicator (PMI), rank indicator (RI), channel quality indicator (CQI) and other channel state information (CSI) are reported by a user equipment (UE) to a network side device, so that the network side device can use the CSI information reported by the UE to affect subsequent data transmission.
[0003] However, if the channel state between the UE and the network side device changes (for example, in a high-speed moving scenario, the change of the channel state will be caused by the UE), the network side device can only use the CSI information reported by the UE last time until the next CSI information is reported and takes effect.

[0055] The CSI measurement method, the CSI measurement device, the terminal, the network-side device, and the readable storage medium provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and some embodiments and application scenarios.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 2 The execution subject of the CSI measurement method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be a network-side device, such as Figure 2As shown, the CSI measurement method can include the following steps:
[0057] Step 201, a network side device sends CSI measurement configuration information to a terminal, the CSI measurement configuration information being used for configuring target CSI measurement resources associated with target CSI information;
[0058] Doppler frequency offset, Doppler spread, Doppler spectrum, time domain channel correlation matrix, delay spread, average delay, delay spectrum, and frequency domain channel correlation matrix.
[0059] Step 202, the network side device receives the target CSI information from the terminal.
[0060] It should be noted that before the terminal reports the target CSI information to the network side device, the terminal can also perform data processing such as quantization and compression on the target CSI information or perform data conversion, at this time, the above-mentioned network side device receiving the target CSI information from the terminal can be understood as: the network side device receiving the target CSI information after data processing or data conversion from the terminal, for example: the terminal converts the measured target CSI information into a codebook for precoding, and reports the converted codebook to the network side device, and this does not limit the specific form of the terminal reporting the target CSI information.
[0061] In implementation, a channel will experience changes in the frequency domain and / or the time domain, and the terminal can only perform periodic, aperiodic or semi-persistent CSI reporting, in the embodiments of the present application, the target CSI measurement resources can be configured to the terminal, so that the terminal can more accurately measure the time domain characteristics and / or frequency domain characteristics of the channel on the resources, and report the measured time domain characteristics and / or frequency domain characteristics of the channel to the network side device, so that the network side device can know the change characteristics of the channel state according to the time domain characteristics and / or frequency domain characteristics measured by the terminal. In this way, after the network side device receives the target CSI information reported by the terminal, the network side device can predict the change of the channel state corresponding to the terminal, and accordingly adjust the precoding, modulation order and code rate during data transmission, so as to better match the data transmission after the channel state changes.
[0062] It should be noted that the CSI measurement method provided in the embodiments of the present application and the CSI measurement method in the related art are at least different in the following aspects:
[0063] 1) The CSI information reported in the prior art is different from the target CSI information in the embodiments of the present application. Specifically, in the existing CSI measurement and reporting technology, the network side device configures the terminal to measure at least one of the following conventional CSI information on the CSI reference signal (CSI Reference Signal, CSI-RS) resource and the CSI interference measurement (CSI Intereference Measurement, CSI-IM) resource: CSI-RS resource indication (CSI-RS Resource Indicator, CRI), precoding matrix indication (Precoding Matrix indicator, PMI), rank indication (Rank Indicator, RI), channel quality indication (Channel Quality Indicator, CQI), layer indication (Layer Indicator, LI), reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP), and signal-to-noise and interference ratio (Signal-to-Noise and Interference Ratio, SINR).
[0064] 2) The CSI resource for measuring the CSI information in the prior art is different from the target CSI measurement resource for measuring the target CSI information in the embodiments of the present application. Specifically, in the existing CSI measurement and reporting technology, the network side device configures the terminal with the CSI-RS for configuring the port number, time-frequency position and other information of the CSI-RS. However, the CSI-RS in the prior art is not suitable for the measurement requirements of the Doppler frequency offset, the Doppler spread, the Doppler spectrum, the time-domain channel correlation matrix, the delay spread, the average delay, the delay spectrum and the frequency-domain channel correlation matrix in the embodiments of the present application.
[0065] Optionally, the target CSI measurement resource includes:
[0066] a CSI-RS resource; or
[0067] a tracking reference signal (Tracking Reference Signal, TRS) resource; or
[0068] a combination of reference signal resources.
[0069] In implementation, the target CSI measurement resource can be at least two CSI-RS resources, or one CSI-RS resource that occurs at least twice in the time domain, or can be a TRS resource, or can be a combination of a CSI-RS resource and a TRS resource, such as a combination of one CSI-RS resource and one TRS resource set, or a combination of one CSI-RS resource and at least two TRS resource sets, or a combination of at least two CSI-RS resources and at least two TRS resource sets, or a combination of at least two CSI-RS resources and one TRS resource set.
[0070] <Case 1>
[0071] In the case where the target CSI measurement resource is a CSI-RS resource, the number of CSI-RS resources can be one or at least two, i.e., one or at least two CSI-RS resources can be used for the same CSI measurement.
[0072] In some embodiments, when the target CSI measurement resource includes at least two CSI-RS resources (e.g., the target CSI measurement resource is at least two CSI-RS resources, or the target CSI measurement resource is a combination of a TRS resource set and at least two CSI-RS resources), the CSI measurement configuration information includes at least one of the following CSI-RS resource indication information:
[0073] First CSI-RS resource indication information for indicating the number of configured CSI-RS resources;
[0074] Second CSI-RS resource indication information for indicating the index of the CSI-RS resource;
[0075] Third CSI-RS resource indication information for indicating the number of ports of the CSI-RS resource;
[0076] Fourth CSI-RS resource indication information for indicating the time domain interval between CSI-RS resources;
[0077] Fifth CSI-RS resource indication information for indicating the bandwidth of the CSI-RS resource;
[0078] Sixth CSI-RS resource indication information for indicating the frequency domain density of the CSI-RS resource.
[0079] In specific implementation, the above-mentioned target CSI measurement resource including at least two CSI-RS resources can be understood as that the at least two CSI-RS resources are used for the same measurement.
[0080] Option 1: The aforementioned first CSI-RS resource indication information can indicate the number of CSI-RS resources used for the same measurement.
[0081] Option 2: The aforementioned second CSI-RS resource indication information can indicate the index information such as the ID of the CSI-RS resource among the at least two CSI-RS resources, so as to distinguish the CSI-RS resources.
[0082] Option 3: The aforementioned third CSI-RS resource indication information can indicate the number of ports for each of the at least two CSI-RS resources, and the number of ports for different CSI-RS resources can be different from each other.
[0083] Optionally, the number of ports of the target CSI-RS resource in the at least two CSI-RS resources is X, and the number of ports of the other CSI-RS resources in the at least two CSI-RS resources besides the target CSI-RS resource is Y, where Y is equal to 1 or 2, and X is greater than or equal to Y.
[0084] For example: Figure 3c As shown, Non-Zero Power (NZP) CSI-RS1 is a 4-port CSI-RS resource, and NZP CSI-RS2 to NZP CSI-RS4 are three 1-port CSI-RS resources.
[0085] In this embodiment, it can be indicated that the number of ports of one of the at least two CSI-RS resources is greater than or equal to 1, and the number of ports of the other CSI-RS resources is 1; or it can be indicated that the number of ports of one of the at least two CSI-RS resources is greater than or equal to 2, and the number of ports of the other CSI-RS resources is 2.
[0086] For example: Figure 3a As shown, assuming that the at least two CSI-RS resources include NZP CSI-RS1, NZP CSI-RS2 and NZP CSI-RS3, then NZP CSI-RS1 is an 8-port CSI-RS resource, while NZP CSI-RS2 and NZP CSI-RS3 are two 1-port CSI-RS resources.
[0087] For example: Figure 3b As shown, NZP CSI-RS1 is a 4-port CSI-RS resource, while NZP CSI-RS2 and NZP CSI-RS3 are two 1-port CSI-RS resources.
[0088] For example: Figure 3cAs shown, NZP CSI-RS1 is a 4-port CSI-RS resource, and NZP CSI-RS2, NZP CSI-RS3 and NZP CSI-RS4 are three 1-port CSI-RS resources.
[0089] The embodiment can improve the flexibility of the port number of the at least two CSI-RS resources to adapt to the measurement of the target CSI resource.
[0090] Option four, in implementation, the above-mentioned fourth CSI-RS resource indication information can be included in the CSI measurement configuration information to indicate the time domain interval between the at least two CSI-RS resources, of course, in implementation, in the case that the above-mentioned fourth CSI-RS resource indication information is not included in the above-mentioned CSI measurement configuration information, the network side device and the terminal can also adopt the time domain interval agreed by default, which is not limited here.
[0091] Option five, the above-mentioned fifth CSI-RS resource indication information can indicate the respective occupied bandwidth of the at least two CSI-RS resources, and the occupied bandwidth of different CSI-RS resources can be different.
[0092] Option six, the above-mentioned sixth CSI-RS resource indication information can indicate the respective frequency domain density of the at least two CSI-RS resources, and the frequency domain density of different CSI-RS resources can be different.
[0093] The above-mentioned frequency domain density can include at least one of resource block (RB) occupation density and subband occupation density.
[0094] For example: assuming that the mapping of the at least two CSI-RS resources in the time-frequency domain corresponding to one measurement is as shown in the following table: Figure 4a As shown, and suband size = 4, wherein the frequency domain position occupied by the CSI-RS in the first slot is the first RB of each suband, the frequency domain position occupied by the CSI-RS in the second slot is the second RB of each suband, the frequency domain position occupied by the CSI-RS in the third slot is the third RB of each suband, and the frequency domain position occupied by the CSI-RS in the fourth slot is the fourth RB of each suband. At this time, the RB occupation density of the CSI-RS is 1 / 4, that is, in one slot, the CSI-RS resource appears once in every 4 RBs.
[0095] It is worth noting that the suband size can vary for different RBs, and correspondingly, the RB occupancy density may also vary. For example, when the suband size is 4, the RB occupancy density of CSI-RS can be 1, 1 / 2, or 1 / 4; when the suband size is 8, the RB occupancy density of CSI-RS can be 1, 1 / 2, 1 / 4, or 1 / 8; when the suband size is 16, the RB occupancy density of CSI-RS can be 1, 1 / 2, 1 / 4, 1 / 8, or 1 / 16; and when the suband size is 32, the RB occupancy density of CSI-RS can be 1, 1 / 2, 1 / 4, 1 / 8, 1 / 16, or 1 / 32.
[0096] In implementation, the suband size can be determined based on the Bandwidth Part (BWP). For example, the correspondence between BWP and suband size is shown in Table 1 below:
[0097] Table 1
[0098] Bandwidth part (PRBs) Subband size (PRBs) 24–72 4,8 73–144 8,16 145–275 16,32
[0099] As shown in Table 1 above, the units for BWP and suband size are Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs). It should be noted that the RB mentioned in the embodiments of this application is the same as the PRB.
[0100] For example: Suppose that a single measurement corresponds to the mapping of at least two CSI-RS resources in the time-frequency domain as follows: Figure 4b As shown, with a suband size of 4, the CSI-RS occupies the first RB of the first suband in slot 1, the second RB of the second suband in slot 2, the third RB of the third suband in slot 3, and the fourth RB of the fourth suband in slot 4; this cycle repeats. At this point, the subband occupancy density of CSI-RS is 1 / 4, meaning that within a slot, CSI-RS resources appear once every four subbands.
[0101] It is worth mentioning that, similar to the RB occupation density described above, the suband size is different, and the suband size occupation density can also be different, for example: when the suband size = 4, the subband occupation density of the CSI-RS can be 1 / 2 or 1 / 4; when the suband size = 8, the subband occupation density of the CSI-RS can be 1 / 2, 1 / 4 or 1 / 8; when the suband size = 16, the subband occupation density of the CSI-RS can be 1 / 2, 1 / 4, 1 / 8 or 1 / 16; when the suband size = 32, the subband occupation density of the CSI-RS can be 1 / 2, 1 / 4, 1 / 8, 1 / 16 or 1 / 32.
[0102] It should be noted that, as Figure 4a and Figure 4b shown in the embodiments, the CSI-RS resources located in the 4 slots can be understood as 4 CSI-RS resources occupying different slots respectively, and it can also represent that multiple time domain repetitions of the same CSI-RS resource occupy different slots respectively.
[0103] Optionally, the time domain type of the at least two CSI-RS resources includes at least one of the following:
[0104] Periodic CSI-RS resource;
[0105] Semi-persistent CSI-RS resource;
[0106] Aperiodic CSI-RS resource.
[0107] In the embodiment, the at least two CSI-RS resources can include CSI-RS resources of the same or different time domain types. In this way, the flexibility of the distribution of the at least two CSI-RS resources in the time domain can be improved, and by making the at least two CSI-RS resources include CSI-RS resources of different time domain types, the utilization of the at least two CSI-RS resources in the time domain can be improved.
[0108] It should be noted that, in the case where the at least two CSI-RS resources include at least two types of CSI-RS resources, the CSI measurement method further includes at least one of the following:
[0109] Activating and / or deactivating the semi-persistent CSI-RS resource through a medium access control unit (Medium Access Control-Control Element, MAC CE);
[0110] The aperiodic CSI-RS resource is activated by downlink control information (DCI);
[0111] The time domain type includes periodic CSI-RS resources, aperiodic CSI-RS resources, and semi-persistent CSI-RS resources.
[0112] Unlike the periodic transmission of CSI-RS on periodic CSI-RS resources, the semi-persistent CSI-RS resources and the aperiodic CSI-RS resources need to be indicated to activate or activate time, so that the terminal measures within the time when the semi-persistent CSI-RS resources and the aperiodic CSI-RS resources are activated or activated. In this embodiment, the semi-persistent CSI-RS resources can be activated and / or deactivated by MAC CE, or the aperiodic CSI-RS resource can also be activated by DCI, so that the terminal can measure the semi-persistent CSI-RS resource and the aperiodic CSI-RS resource.
[0113] Optionally, the CSI measurement configuration information further comprises:
[0114] The eighth CSI-RS resource indication information is used to indicate the time domain repetition number of each of the at least two configured CSI-RS resources, wherein the time domain symbol positions of the at least two CSI-RS resources in the same time domain repetition are in the same time slot.
[0115] In a specific implementation, the time domain repetition number can be the repetition number in time slots, and the time domain repetition number of the at least two CSI-RS resources can be understood as that the time domain symbol positions of the at least two CSI-RS resources in the same time domain repetition can be allocated in a time slot, and the network side device can indicate that the time domain repetition numbers of all CSI-RS resources in the at least two CSI-RS resources are the same.
[0116] Further, the CSI measurement configuration information further comprises:
[0117] The ninth CSI-RS resource indication information is used to indicate the time slot interval between the time domain repetitions of the at least two configured CSI-RS resources.
[0118] On the basis that the time domain symbol positions of the at least two CSI-RS resources can be allocated in a time slot and the network side device indicates the time domain repetition number of the CSI-RS resource, the network side device can further indicate the time slot interval between the time domain repetitions corresponding to the at least two CSI-RS resources, so as to improve the density of the distribution of the at least two CSI-RS resources in the time domain.
[0119] Optionally, the CSI measurement method further comprises:
[0120] The network-side device sends first resource indication information to the terminal, and the first resource indication information is used to indicate that part of the at least two CSI-RS resources is valid or invalid.
[0121] In this embodiment, when at least two CSI-RS resources are configured, part of the CSI-RS resources can be indicated to be valid or invalid by the first resource indication information, so as to realize flexible configuration of the CSI-RS resources. For example, when the at least two CSI-RS resources include four periodic CSI-RS resources, two of the CSI-RS resources can be indicated to be invalid according to the measurement requirement, so as to avoid waste of resources.
[0122] In some other embodiments, when the target CSI measurement resource includes a first CSI-RS resource (i.e., the number of CSI-RS resources in the target CSI measurement resource is only one, for example, the target CSI measurement resource is one CSI-RS resource, or the target CSI measurement resource is a combination of a TRS resource set and one CSI-RS resource), the CSI measurement configuration information includes:
[0123] Seventh CSI-RS resource indication information used to indicate the time domain repetition number of the configured first CSI-RS resource.
[0124] The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment in which the target CSI measurement resource is at least two CSI-RS resources is that only one CSI-RS resource is configured in this embodiment, and the one CSI-RS resource is configured to be repeated at least twice in the time domain to meet the measurement requirement of the target CSI information.
[0125] Optionally, the time domain repetition of the first CSI-RS resource occurs within one slot or N slots, and N is equal to the time domain repetition number of the first CSI-RS resource.
[0126] In implementation, the first CSI-RS resource can be repeated at least twice in one slot, or the time domain repetition of the first CSI-RS resource can span multiple slots, i.e., each time domain repetition corresponds to one slot. For example, as shown in the embodiments of Figure 4a and Figure 4b The CSI-RS resource located in the four slots can be four time domain repetitions of the same CSI-RS resource. It should be noted that, in the embodiments of Figure 4a and Figure 4bIn the illustrated embodiment, it can be seen that the frequency domain resources occupied by the 4 time domain repetitions of the CSI-RS resource are different. In other embodiments, a more general possibility is that the frequency domain resources occupied by the 4 time domain repetitions of the CSI-RS resource are the same.
[0127] Further, in the case where the time domain repetition of the first CSI-RS resource occurs within one slot, the CSI measurement configuration information further includes at least one of:
[0128] tenth CSI-RS resource indication information, used to indicate that the configured first CSI-RS resource performs the time domain repetition occurring within one slot within L slots, L being an integer greater than or equal to 1;
[0129] eleventh CSI-RS resource indication information, used to indicate the symbol interval between the time domain repetitions of the configured first CSI-RS resource.
[0130] wherein L represents the number of slots of the time domain repetition, and the first CSI-RS resource occurs at least twice in each slot.
[0131] In addition, through the above-mentioned eleventh CSI-RS resource indication information, the symbol interval between the adjacent two time domain repetitions of the first CSI-RS resource can be indicated to adjust the accuracy of measurement based on the first CSI-RS resource.
[0132] In the present embodiment, the number of time domain repetitions of the first CSI-RS resource within one slot or N slots can be indicated, which can improve the density of the distribution of the CSI-RS resource in the time domain.
[0133] <Case Two>
[0134] In the case where the target CSI measurement resource includes a TRS resource, for example, the target CSI measurement resource is at least two TRS resource sets, or the target CSI measurement resource is a combination of a TRS resource set and a CSI-RS resource, etc., the CSI measurement configuration information includes TRS resource indication information.
[0135] Optionally, when the target CSI measurement resource includes a TRS resource, the CSI measurement configuration information includes at least one of the following TRS resource indication information:
[0136] first TRS resource indication information, used to indicate the number of configured TRS resource sets;
[0137] second TRS resource indication information, used to indicate the index of the TRS resource set;
[0138] a third TRS resource indication information, used for indicating a number of measurement resources in the TRS resource set;
[0139] a fourth TRS resource indication information, used for indicating an index of a measurement resource in the TRS resource set;
[0140] a fifth TRS resource indication information, used for indicating a number of measurement resources in each time slot in the TRS resource set, respectively;
[0141] a sixth TRS resource indication information, used for indicating a time domain repetition number of the TRS resource set;
[0142] a seventh TRS resource indication information, used for indicating a measurement granularity of the TRS resource set.
[0143] In the prior art, the TRS can be used for timing estimation, delay spread estimation, frequency offset estimation and Doppler spread estimation. Among them, the timing estimation and the frequency offset estimation can be used to complete synchronization of the transmitter and the receiver, and the results of the delay spread estimation and the Doppler spread estimation are important parameters of channel estimation, which can be used to assist the Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) to complete more accurate channel estimation.
[0144] In the embodiments of the present application, the network side device can configure at least two TRS resource sets for the terminal, and each TRS resource set can include at least two TRS resources, at this time, the network side device can indicate the number of the configured TRS resource sets, the index of each TRS resource set, the number of the TRS resources included in each TRS resource set, and the index of each TRS resource in each TRS resource set, etc., so that the terminal knows the configuration of the TRS resources, and performs corresponding CSI measurement accordingly.
[0145] It should be noted that in the implementation, in the case that the third TRS resource indication information and / or the fifth TRS resource indication information are not included in the above-mentioned CSI measurement configuration information, the number of measurement resources in the TRS resource set and / or the number of measurement resources in each time slot in the TRS resource set can also be determined according to the default agreement between the network side device and the terminal, which is not limited here.
[0146] Of course, in actual application, the network side device can also configure a combination of one TRS resource set and one CSI-RS resource for the terminal, or a combination of one TRS resource set and at least two CSI-RS resources, or a combination of two TRS resource sets and one CSI-RS resource, which is not limited here.
[0147] It is worth pointing out that the embodiments of the present application are not the same as the configuration process and use of the TRS in the prior art, wherein the TRS in the prior art is a reference signal for time-frequency tracking configured flexibly by the network side device according to the needs of the terminal, and the terminal does not report the measurement result of the TRS; while in the embodiments of the present application, the network side device actively configures the TRS resource to the terminal, and configures the terminal to report the target CSI information measured on the TRS resource.
[0148] In addition, similar to the target CSI measurement resource being a CSI-RS resource, the time domain repetition number of the indicated configured TRS resource set can be understood as the time domain repetition number of the TRS resource set in units of slots, which will not be elaborated here.
[0149] In addition, the measurement granularity of the TRS resource set can be a bandwidth or a sub-band, which will not be specifically limited here.
[0150] In the present embodiment, by configuring the TRS resource to the terminal, the terminal can measure the target CSI information on the TRS resource, and report the measured target CSI information to the network side device, so that the network side device can perform channel prediction accordingly.
[0151] <Case Three>
[0152] In the case that the target CSI measurement resource is a reference signal resource combination, the reference signal resource combination indicates that the resources for the same measurement include at least two different types of resource combinations, for example: the reference signal resource combination includes a combination of CSI-RS resources and TRS resources. The CSI-RS resources and the TRS resources are used together for the same measurement.
[0153] For example, as shown in Figure 3d , it is assumed that the reference signal resource combination includes NZP CSI-RS and a single-slot structure TRS resource set, wherein each TRS resource in the TRS resource set has two times of time domain repetition at the time domain level.
[0154] Optionally, the reference signal resource combination includes a combination of CSI-RS resources and TRS resources, the CSI measurement configuration information includes CSI-RS resource indication information and TRS resource indication information, and
[0155] The first resource relationship indication information is used to indicate the association relationship between the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource.
[0156] It should be noted that the CSI-RS resource indication information described above can be the CSI-RS resource indication information described in the above <case one>, and the TRS resource indication information can be the TRS resource indication information described in the above <case two>, which will not be described in detail here.
[0157] In the embodiment, the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource can be used for the same CSI measurement, and the flexibility of the CSI measurement resource for measuring the target CSI information is improved.
[0158] Optionally, the network side device can configure the period and bandwidth of the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource respectively, so that the period of the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource can be different, and the bandwidth of the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource can also be different. For example, the bandwidth of the CSI-RS resource is greater than the bandwidth of the TRS resource, or the bandwidth of the CSI-RS resource is less than the bandwidth of the TRS resource.
[0159] Of course, in the implementation, the period and / or bandwidth of the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource can also be the same, which is not specifically limited here.
[0160] Optionally, the CSI measurement configuration information further includes at least one resource relationship indication information:
[0161] The second resource relationship indication information is used to indicate the period relationship of the configured CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource.
[0162] The third resource relationship indication information is used to indicate the bandwidth relationship of the configured CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource.
[0163] The period relationship can include that the period of the CSI-RS resource and the period of the TRS resource must be the same, or the period of the CSI-RS resource and the period of the TRS resource are allowed to be different; the bandwidth relationship can include that the bandwidth of the CSI-RS resource and the bandwidth of the TRS resource must be the same, or the bandwidth of the CSI-RS resource is greater than the bandwidth of the TRS resource set, or the bandwidth of the CSI-RS resource is less than the bandwidth of the TRS resource set.
[0164] Optionally, the first resource relationship indication information includes at least one of the following:
[0165] The first sub-indication information is used to indicate the explicit binding relationship of the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource set.
[0166] The second sub-indication information is used to indicate the quasi co-location (QCL) reference relationship of the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource set.
[0167] In implementation, the first sub-indication information can be used to indicate the binding relationship between the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource set, so that the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource set with the binding relationship are used for the same measurement.
[0168] Of course, in implementation, the QCL reference relationship between the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource set can also be used to indicate that the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource set are used for the same measurement, which is not specifically limited here.
[0169] In some embodiments, the above QCL reference relationship can be: indicating the TRS resource set as the QCL reference of the CSI-RS resource. For example: the average delay, delay spread, Doppler frequency offset, Doppler spread, spatial reception parameter and the like of the channel experienced by the symbol on the antenna port of the CSI-RS resource can be inferred from the antenna port in the TRS resource set.
[0170] In implementation, the above QCL reference relationship can be determined according to the actual transmission scenario, and the corresponding relationship between the QCL reference relationship and the transmission application scenario is as follows:
[0171] 1) qcl-typeA, {Doppler frequency offset, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread}
[0172] 2) qcl-typeB, {Doppler frequency offset, Doppler spread}
[0173] 3) qcl-typeC, {Doppler frequency offset, average delay}
[0174] 4) qcl-typeD, {spatial reception parameter}
[0175] Generally, the TRS will be in the form of QCL-typeA as the QCL reference source of the Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) corresponding to the Physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) or the DMRS corresponding to the Physical downlink control channel (PDCCH).
[0176] In this embodiment, the QCL reference relationship between the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource set can be indicated in the CSI measurement configuration information, so as to indicate that the CSI-RS resource and the TRS resource set with the QCL reference relationship are used for the same measurement.
[0177] As an optional implementation, the target CSI measurement resource is further used to measure first CSI information, and the first CSI information includes at least one of the following:
[0178] Beam information, a precoding matrix indication (PMI), a CSI-RS resource indication (CRI), channel quality indication (CQI), rank indication (RI), layer indication (LI), reference signal received power (RSRP), and signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR).
[0179] Further, in the case where the target CSI measurement resource is at least two CSI-RS resources, part of the at least two CSI-RS resources is used to measure the target CSI information, and another part of the at least two CSI-RS resources is used to measure the first CSI information.
[0180] In the case where the target CSI measurement resource is a first CSI-RS resource with at least two time-domain repetitions, part of the CSI-RS resources corresponding to the time-domain repetitions of the first CSI-RS resource is used to measure the target CSI information, and another part of the CSI-RS resources corresponding to the time-domain repetitions of the first CSI-RS resource is used to measure the first CSI information.
[0181] In the case where the target CSI measurement resource is a combination of a TRS resource set and a CSI-RS resource, the TRS resource set is used to measure the target CSI information, and the CSI-RS resource is used to measure the first CSI information.
[0182] In this embodiment, at least two resources for the same measurement or at least two time-domain repetitions of one resource for the same measurement can be used to measure different CSI information, respectively. In this way, each CSI measurement resource can be configured according to the measurement requirements of the CSI information to be measured, so as to improve the matching degree of the CSI measurement resource and the measurement requirements of the CSI information to be measured.
[0183] Optionally, before the network-side device receives the target CSI information from the terminal, the method further includes:

[0185] The CSI report configuration (Report setting / CSI-ReportConfig) can be configured as at least one of the following three types:
[0186] Periodic CSI reporting (P-CSI): transmitted only on Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH);
[0187] Semi-Persistent CSI reporting (SP-CSI): transmitted on PUCCH or Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH);
[0188] Aperiodic CSI reporting (AP-CSI): transmitted only on PUSCH.
[0189] In addition, the CSI resource configuration (Resource setting / CSI-ResourceConfig) of the above-mentioned CSI measurement configuration is as follows:
[0190] M≥1 resource configurations (Resource setting);
[0191] One resource configuration contains S≥1 CSI resource sets (Resource set);
[0192] One resource set contains Ks≥1 CSI resources (Resource), including CSI-RS, TRS, etc.
[0193] In implementation, the association between the CSI measurement configuration information and the CSI reporting configuration can be one-to-one association or many-to-one association, for example, one CSI reporting configuration is associated with one CSI measurement configuration, which is not specifically limited herein.
[0194] In this embodiment, the measurement and reporting of CSI information are performed by associating the CSI reporting configuration information with the CSI measurement configuration information, so that the terminal can timely report the measured CSI information.
[0195] Optionally, after the network side device receives the target CSI information from the terminal, the method further comprises:
