[0045] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the method, apparatus, and terminal for transmitting Channel State Information (CSI) provided in this application, through some embodiments and application scenarios.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this application provides a method for transmitting Channel State Information (CSI), including:

[0047] Step 201: The first terminal receives the first channel state information reference signal CSI-RS;

[0048] Step 202: The first terminal feeds back the CSI corresponding to the first CSI-RS to the second terminal; wherein the CSI carries at least one of the following parameters:

[0049] Side link SL channel status information;

[0050] SL beam information.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the first terminal is a receiving terminal (RX UE) in SL communication, and the second terminal is a sending terminal (TX UE) in SL communication.

[0052] As an optional embodiment, the SL channel state information includes at least one of the following:

[0053] Channel Quality Indicator (CQI);

[0054] Rank indicator RI;

[0055] Channel matrix;

[0056] Channel parameters.

[0057] Alternatively, assuming a predefined resource set for beam sweeping is used for broadcasting, the CSI may also carry at least one of the following: measured carrier information, carrier information associated with CSI feedback, and resource pool information.

[0058] As another optional embodiment, the SL beam-related information includes at least one of the following:

[0059] Beam index;

[0060] Reference Signal Identifier (RS ID);

[0061] Resource index;

[0062] Sequence index;

[0063] Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP).

[0064] In at least one embodiment of this application, if beam training is performed on the first terminal side, the first terminal does not need to carry SL beam-related information in the CSI.

[0065] Optionally, if beam training is performed on the first terminal side, and the first CSI-RS is only used for beam measurement, the first terminal does not need to feed back the CSI corresponding to the first CSI-RS; or, if the first CSI-RS is used for both beam measurement and channel measurement, the first terminal feeds back the CSI corresponding to the first CSI-RS, but the CSI does not carry SL beam-related information.

[0066] For example, the first indication information indicates that the first CSI-RS transmission does not require corresponding CSI reporting (i.e., RX UE-side beam training). That is, the first terminal receives the first indication information indicating that the first CSI-RS does not need to report the corresponding CSI; then, based on the indication of the first indication information, the first terminal determines not to feed back the CSI corresponding to the first CSI-RS. Optionally, the first indication information can be carried in an indication field of the CSI request information, or the first indication information can be sent separately by the second terminal; no specific limitation is made here.

[0067] In at least one alternative embodiment of this application, differential coding can be used between multiple CSIs carrying a certain parameter to reduce signaling overhead.

[0068] In at least one embodiment of this application, the method further includes:

[0069] The first terminal determines the quantity carried by the CSI based on the first information; wherein the first information includes any one of the following:

[0070] CSI request information; optionally, CSI request information can be sent via Sidelink Control Information (SCI) or Media Access Control Layer Control Unit (MAC CE);

[0071] CSI reporting time;

[0072] Configuration information of the first CSI-RS;

[0073] Predefined information used to indicate the parameters carried by CSI.

[0074] As an optional embodiment, the first terminal determines the parameters carried by the CSI based on the CSI request information, including:

[0075] The first terminal determines the parameter carried by the CSI request information as the parameter indicated by the parameter indication information based on the parameter indication information carried by the CSI request information.

[0076] In other words, the CSI request information directly indicates the parameters that the CSI is reporting. For example, a new SCI format or MAC CE can be defined, where M fields / codepoints are used for CSI request indication, one of which indicates that the CSI is reporting parameters as CQI / RI, and / or another field / codepoint indicates that the reported parameters are SL beam-related information, and / or another field / codepoint indicates that no CSI reporting is required.

[0077] Alternatively, the first terminal determines the parameters carried by the CSI based on the CSI request information, including:

[0078] The first terminal determines the parameters carried by the CSI based on the CSI configuration indication information carried in the CSI request information as: the parameters corresponding to the CSI configuration indicated by the CSI configuration indication information;

[0079] In other words, there is a correlation between CSI configuration information and parameters reported by CSI. CSI request information indirectly indicates the parameters reported by CSI by indicating the identifier of CSI configuration information.

[0080] Optionally, the CSI configuration indication information is used to indicate the ID of the CSI configuration; the CSI configuration information has its corresponding ID information, and the CSI request information directly indicates the ID of the CSI configuration information. Alternatively, the CSI configuration indication information is used to indicate the item index of the CSI configuration in a first preset list; that is, the first terminal locally stores a first preset list, which includes multiple CSI configuration information, and the CSI request information directly indicates the item index in the list, thereby indicating the CSI configuration information.

[0081] It should be noted that CSI configuration information can be negotiated between terminals via PC5-RRC, or CSI configuration information per pool (based on resource pool) / per BWP (based on bandwidth portion) / per UE (based on terminal) can be configured via RRC, without specific limitations here.

[0082] Alternatively, the first terminal determines the parameters carried by the CSI based on the CSI request information, including:

[0083] The first terminal determines the parameters carried by the CSI request information according to the signaling format of the CSI request information: the parameters corresponding to the signaling format. That is, different CSI reporting parameters are triggered by CSI request information with different signaling formats, and the first terminal identifies the parameters reported by the CSI by distinguishing the signaling formats of the CSI request information.

[0084] For example, CQI / RI reporting is triggered using MAC CE, while beam-related reporting is triggered using [2]. nd stage]SCI.

[0085] For example, both CQI / RI and beam-related reporting are triggered using MAC CE, but the MAC CEs for the two use different logical IDs.

[0086] For example, both CQI / RI and beam-related reporting are triggered using SCI, but the SCIs of the two use different formats.

[0087] As another optional embodiment, the first terminal determines the parameters carried by the CSI based on the CSI reporting time, including:

[0088] The first terminal determines the first time range to which the CSI reporting time belongs;

[0089] The first terminal determines the parameters carried by the CSI according to the first time range as: pre-agreed parameters corresponding to the first time range.

[0090] In other words, within a preset time range, it is agreed that there is only one CSI reporting parameter. When the CSI request information instructs the CSI to report, the parameter reported by the CSI is the CSI parameter agreed upon within the preset time range.

[0091] Optionally, the preset time range is agreed upon by the UEs, for example, through negotiation via signaling such as PC5-RRC or MAC CE.

[0092] Optionally, the CSI request information may be a CSI request indication in 2nd stage SCI format 2-A / 2-B / 2-C.

[0093] As another optional embodiment, the first terminal determines the parameters carried by the CSI based on the configuration information of the first CSI-RS, including:

[0094] The first terminal determines, based on the configuration information of the first CSI-RS, that the parameter carried by the CSI is: the parameter associated with the configuration information of the first CSI-RS;

[0095] The configuration information of the first CSI-RS is indicated by the second terminal.

[0096] In other words, there is a correlation between CSI reporting parameters and CSI-RS configuration information. By instructing the configuration information transmitted by CSI-RS, the corresponding CSI reporting parameters are indicated.

[0097] For example, if the first CSI-RS transmission is a set of CSI-RS resources and the first CSI-RS is transmitted in a scanning form, the CSI reporting parameters corresponding to the first CSI-RS shall at least include SL beam-related information (or, include SL beam-related information and CQI / RI); if the CSI-RS transmission is a CSI-RS resource, the CSI reporting parameters shall only be CQI / RI.

[0098] As another optional embodiment, if the first terminal determines the parameters carried by the CSI based on predefined information used to indicate the parameters carried by the CSI, the parameters carried by the CSI are predefined as SL beam-related information and CQI / RI through the predefined information. For example, after receiving CSI request information, the first terminal always reports a CSI carrying SL beam-related information and CQI / RI.

[0099] In at least one optional embodiment of the present invention, for cases where there is configuration information for multiple CSI-RS (e.g., at least configuration information for CSI-RS configured for beam measurement and / or configuration information for CSI-RS configured for CQI / RI reporting), the method further includes:

[0100] The first terminal determines the configuration information of the first CSI-RS based on the second information; wherein the second information includes at least one of the following:

[0101] The first CSI-RS transmission indication signaling; for example, the transmission indication signaling can be PC5-RRC, or MAC CE, or SCI; wherein, the transmission indication signaling is used to indicate CSI-RS transmission resources;

[0102] The transmission time of the first CSI-RS;

[0103] The configuration information fed back by the Channel State Information (CSI) corresponding to the first CSI-RS.

[0104] Wherein, when the first CSI-RS is used for beam measurement, the configuration information of the first CSI-RS is used to configure or indicate any of the following:

[0105] The transmission resources of the first CSI-RS are a set of CSI-RS resources;

[0106] The first CSI-RS is transmitted within the Physical Side Link Shared Channel (PSSCH).

[0107] In other words, the CSI-RS used for beam measurement can be configured / indicated as a set of CSI-RS resources. Alternatively, the CSI-RS used for beam measurement can be embedded in the PSSCH for transmission.

[0108] For example, in a PSSCH transmission carrying CSI-RS, if the beam direction of the CSI-RS transmission on the PSSCH is inconsistent with the beam direction of the data transmission; for example, if the CSI-RS is transmitted in the form of beam scanning and the data is transmitted in the form of directional beams, the data transmission cannot be mapped to the time domain resources of the CSI-RS transmission in order to ensure the reliability of data transmission.

[0109] As an optional embodiment, the first terminal determines the configuration information of the first CSI-RS according to the transmission indication signaling of the first CSI-RS, including:

[0110] The first terminal determines the configuration information of the first CSI-RS as the configuration information corresponding to the CSI-RS configuration identifier based on the CSI-RS configuration identifier indicated by the transmission indication signaling of the first CSI-RS; that is, the CSI-RS configuration information has corresponding ID information, and the transmission indication signaling can directly indicate the ID.

[0111] Alternatively, the first terminal determines the configuration information of the first CSI-RS as the configuration information corresponding to the item index in the second preset list indicated by the transmission indication signaling of the first CSI-RS; that is, the first terminal has a second preset list stored locally in advance, the second preset list includes multiple CSI configuration information, and the transmission indication signaling of the CSI-RS directly indicates the item index in the list, thereby indicating the CSI configuration information.

[0112] It should be noted that CSI configuration information can be negotiated between terminals via PC5-RRC, or CSI configuration information per pool (based on resource pool) / per BWP (based on bandwidth portion) / per UE (based on terminal) can be configured via RRC, without specific limitations here.

[0113] As another optional embodiment, the first terminal determines the configuration information of the first CSI-RS based on the transmission time of the first CSI-RS, including:

[0114] The first terminal determines the second time range to which the transmission time of the first CSI-RS belongs;

[0115] The first terminal determines the configuration information of the first CSI-RS according to the second time range as: the pre-agreed CSI-RS configuration information corresponding to the second time range.

[0116] In other words, within a preset time range, it is agreed that only one type of CSI-RS configuration information is used. Optionally, the preset time range is agreed upon by the UEs, for example, through negotiation via indication signaling such as PC5-RRC or MAC CE.

[0117] As another optional embodiment, the first terminal determines the configuration information of the first CSI-RS based on the configuration information fed back by the CSI corresponding to the first CSI-RS, including:

[0118] The first terminal determines the configuration information of the first CSI-RS as: the CSI-RS configuration information associated with the configuration information of the CSI feedback, based on the configuration information of the first CSI-RS and the association between the configuration information of the CSI feedback and the configuration information of the CSI-RS.

[0119] In other words, the configuration information fed back by CSI is related to the configuration information of CSI-RS. By indicating the configuration information fed back by CSI, the corresponding configuration information of CSI-RS is indirectly indicated. Optionally, the configuration information fed back by CSI is indicated by a second terminal.

[0120] In summary, in the embodiments of this application, the first terminal feeds back the CSI corresponding to the first CSI-RS to the second terminal. The CSI carries SL channel state information and / or SL beam-related information to assist the second terminal in performing beam training between terminals, thereby establishing a transmission beam between the first terminal and the second terminal.

[0121] like Figure 3 As shown in the embodiments of this application, a method for transmitting Channel State Information (CSI) is also provided, including:

[0122] Step 301: The second terminal sends the first channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS).

[0123] Step 302, the second terminal receives the CSI corresponding to the first CSI-RS fed back by the first terminal; wherein the CSI carries at least one of the following parameters:

[0124] Side link SL channel status information;

[0125] SL beam information.

[0126] Optionally, the first terminal is the receiving terminal (RX UE) in SL communication, and the second terminal is the sending terminal (TX UE) in SL communication.

[0127] As an optional embodiment, the SL channel state information includes at least one of the following:

[0128] Channel Quality Indicator (CQI);

[0129] Rank indicator RI;

[0130] Channel matrix;

[0131] Channel parameters.

[0132] Alternatively, assuming a predefined resource set for beam sweeping is used for broadcasting, the CSI may also carry at least one of the following: measured carrier information, carrier information associated with CSI feedback, and resource pool information.

[0133] As another optional embodiment, the SL beam-related information includes at least one of the following:

[0134] Beam index;

[0135] Reference Signal Identifier (RS ID);

[0136] Resource index;

[0137] Sequence index;

[0138] Layer 1 Reference Signal Received Power (L1-RSRP).

[0139] In at least one embodiment of this application, if beam training is performed on the first terminal side, the first terminal does not need to carry SL beam-related information in the CSI.

[0140] Optionally, if beam training is performed on the first terminal side, and the first CSI-RS is only used for beam measurement, the first terminal does not need to feed back the CSI corresponding to the first CSI-RS; or, if the first CSI-RS is used for both beam measurement and channel measurement, the first terminal feeds back the CSI corresponding to the first CSI-RS, but the CSI does not carry SL beam-related information.

[0141] For example, the first indication information indicates that the first CSI-RS transmission does not require corresponding CSI reporting (i.e., RX UE-side beam training). That is, the first terminal receives the first indication information indicating that the first CSI-RS does not need to report the corresponding CSI; then, based on the indication of the first indication information, the first terminal determines not to feed back the CSI corresponding to the first CSI-RS. Optionally, the first indication information can be carried in an indication field of the CSI request information, or the first indication information can be sent separately by the second terminal; no specific limitation is made here.

[0142] In at least one alternative embodiment of this application, differential coding can be used between multiple CSIs carrying a certain parameter to reduce signaling overhead.

[0143] In at least one embodiment of this application, the transmission resources of the first CSI-RS satisfy at least one of the following:

[0144] The transmission time of the first CSI-RS is x time units after the transmission time of the CSI-RS transmission indication signaling;

[0145] The transmission resources of the first CSI-RS belong to the PSSCH reserved by the side link control information SCI associated with the CSI-RS transmission indication signaling;

[0146] Here, x takes the value of a pre-agreed, pre-configured, configured, or dynamically indicated value. The time unit mentioned above can be milliseconds (ms), symbols, or time slots.

[0147] Optionally, the first terminal may demodulate the CSI-RS transmission indication signaling to adjust the beam direction of the first terminal receiving CSI-RS; correspondingly, the value of x is greater than or equal to the time value of the first terminal demodulating the CSI-RS transmission indication signaling, and / or the time value of completing the beam adjustment.

[0148] As an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0149] The second terminal determines whether the transmission time of the first CSI-RS needs to be after x time units of the transmission time of the CSI-RS transmission indication signaling, based on whether the first terminal needs to adjust the receiving beam.

[0150] In other words, the TX UE can determine whether it needs to meet the time limit requirement x based on whether the RX UE needs to adjust its receive beam according to the CSI-RS transmission indication signaling. For example, if the RX UE does not need to adjust its receive beam according to the CSI-RS transmission indication signaling, then the CSI-RS transmission timing does not need to meet the time limit requirement x; conversely, if the RX UE needs to adjust its receive beam according to the CSI-RS transmission indication signaling, then the CSI-RS transmission timing needs to meet the time limit requirement x.

[0151] In at least one embodiment of this application, when the transmission resource of the first CSI-RS is a set of CSI-RS resources (i.e., the CSI-RS used for beam measurement can be configured / indicated as a set of CSI-RS resources), the mapping form of the set of CSI-RS resources includes at least one of the following:

[0152] Form 1: A group of CSI-RS resources is mapped onto a PSSCH transport or a time slot;

[0153] Form 2: A set of CSI-RS resources is mapped to different PSSCH transmissions or different time slots.

[0154] For form 1, for example, at least for beam repetition CSI-RS resource transmission, a set of CSI-RS resources can be configured on the same PSSCH transmission. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the resources of CSI-RS#1, CSI-RS#2, CSI-RS#3, and CSI-RS#4 are mapped to the same PSSCH. This can also be indirectly understood as follows: as long as a set of CSI-RS resources is transmitted on the same PSSCH, the transmission form of CSI-RS is beam repetition.

[0155] For form 2, a set of CSI-RS resources is mapped to different PSSCH transmissions or different time slots to increase the maximum number of CSI-RS resources or facilitate beam switching of CSI-RS. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the resources of CSI-RS#1, CSI-RS#2, CSI-RS#3, and CSI-RS#4 are mapped to different PSSCHs.

[0156] Optionally, the mapping method of CSI-RS resources on a PSSCH transport / slot can be configured (e.g., using the existing SL CSI-RS configuration method). The CSI-RS mapping method is the same on different PSSCH transports / different slots, which can simplify the complexity of CSI-RS resource configuration.

[0157] Optionally, the CSI-RS resource configuration information includes slot information (e.g., slot index, virtual slot identifier [identifying which CSI-RS resources belong to the same slot]) or PSSCH transmission sequence number information (e.g., CSI-RS resource corresponds to the initial transmission, CSI-RS resource corresponds to the first transmission, CSI-RS resource corresponds to the second transmission, etc.) to reflect the slots mapped by the CSI-RS resources.

[0158] As another optional embodiment, when the transmission resources of the first CSI-RS are a set of CSI-RS resources (i.e., the CSI-RS used for beam measurement can be configured / indicated as a set of CSI-RS resources), the CSI-RS resource numbers correspond to the beam information; wherein, the CSI-RS resource numbering method is at least one of the following:

[0159] Configure each CSI-RS resource to correspond to a specific number;

[0160] Number them according to the time sequence of CSI-RS resources;

[0161] The SCI dynamically indicates the CSI-RS resource number;

[0162] CSI-RS resource numbers are assigned to different PSSCHs or time slots at the granularity of PSSCH or time slot.

[0163] In other words, CSI-RS resources can be assigned numbers, and there is a correspondence between beam information and CSI-RS resource numbers. Reporting beam information is equivalent to reporting CSI-RS resource numbers. The numbering method includes at least one of the following:

[0164] Configure each CSI-RS resource to correspond to a specific ID (i.e., number).

[0165] CSI-RS resource numbers are numbered sequentially by time to reduce the complexity of configuration information.

[0166] When a set of CSI-RS resources is mapped to different PSSCH transmissions / different slots, the CSI-RS resource number information is dynamically indicated by the control information. For example, the SCI indicates the resource number corresponding to the CSI-RS transmitted in the associated PSSCH, so as to achieve flexible number indication. Especially when CSI-RS resources are mapped to different PSSCH transmissions, the RX UE can identify the corresponding CSI-RS resource number when it receives any PSSCH transmission.

[0167] When a set of CSI-RS resources is mapped to different PSSCH transmissions / different slots, the basic unit for CSI-RS resource numbering is per PSSCH / slot. CSI-RS resources on different PSSCHs / slots are renumbered. RX UE can identify the corresponding CSI-RS resource number upon receiving any PSSCH transmission.

[0168] In summary, in the embodiments of this application, the first terminal feeds back the CSI corresponding to the first CSI-RS to the second terminal.
