Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to transmission methods and apparatus in wireless communication systems, and more particularly to schemes and apparatus related to CSI (Channel Status Information) in wireless communication systems. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional wireless communication, the UE (User Equipment) may report at least one of several types of auxiliary information, such as CSI, beam management-related auxiliary information, positioning-related auxiliary information, etc. CSI includes at least one of CRI (CSI-RS Resource Indicator), RI (Rank Indicator), PMI (Precoding Matrix Indicator), or CQI (Channel Quality Indicator).

[0003] Network devices select appropriate transmission parameters for the UE based on its reports, such as the cell to be camped, MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme), TPMI (Transmitted Precoding Matrix Indicator), and TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication). Furthermore, UE reports can be used to optimize network parameters, such as improving cell coverage and switching base stations on / off based on the UE's location.

[0004] In NR (New Radio) systems, CSI reporting can be periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic. Semi-persistent CSI reporting requires activation via DCI (Downlink Control Information) or MAC CE (Medium Access Control Layer Control Element), while aperiodic CSI reporting requires triggering via DCI. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In NR (New Radio) systems, a PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) / PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel) scheme for scheduling multiple cells using a single DCI was proposed. The inventors discovered through research that existing CSI reporting triggering schemes may no longer be applicable in this application scenario.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this application discloses a solution. It should be noted that although this application is initially intended to describe a PUSCH / PDSCH transmission scenario where one DCI schedules multiple cells, it can also be applied to a PUSCH / PDSCH transmission scenario where one DCI schedules a single cell. Furthermore, adopting a unified design scheme for different scenarios (including but not limited to PUSCH / PDSCH with one DCI scheduling multiple cells and PUSCH / PDSCH with one DCI scheduling a single cell) helps reduce hardware complexity and cost. Where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in any node of this application can be applied to any other node.

[0312] As an example, the first CSI set uses the same modulation scheme as the PUSCH in the first cell.

[0313] Generally, the method for calculating CSI is determined by the hardware equipment vendor. The following is a non-limiting implementation method using CQI as an example:

[0314] The first node first performs channel measurements for a CSI-RS resource to obtain the channel parameter matrix H. r×t Where r and t are the number of receiving antennas and the number of antenna ports used for transmitting, respectively; when using the precoding matrix W t×l Under these conditions, the precoded channel parameter matrix is ​​H r×t ·W t×l H is calculated using criteria such as SINR, EESM (Exponential Effective SINR Mapping), or RBIR (Received Block Mean Mutual Information Ratio). r×t ·W t×l The equivalent channel capacity is calculated, and then the CQI is determined from the equivalent channel capacity through methods such as table lookup. Generally, the calculation of the equivalent channel capacity requires the first node to estimate noise and interference. Typically, the mapping between the equivalent channel capacity and the CQI value depends on receiver performance or hardware-related factors such as modulation scheme. The precoding matrix W t×l Typically, the first node provides feedback via RI or PMI.

[0315] Compared to CQI, L1-SINR does not carry receiver information, thus omitting the calculation of the equivalent channel capacity mentioned above.

[0316] As an example, the measurement performed on the first CSI resource group is used to estimate the channel parameter matrix H. r×t .

RLC sublayer 303 provides upper layer data packet segmentation and reassembly, retransmission of lost data packets, and data packet reordering to compensate for out-of-order reception due to HARQ. MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between the logical and transport channels. MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) within a cell between the first communication node devices. MAC sublayer 302 is also responsible for HARQ operations. The RRC (Radio Resource Control) sublayer 306 in Layer 3 (L3) of the control plane 300 is responsible for acquiring radio resources (i.e., radio bearers) and configuring the lower layer using RRC signaling between the second and first communication node devices. The radio protocol architecture of user plane 350 includes layer 1 (L1 layer) and layer 2 (L2 layer). The radio protocol architecture for the first and second communication node devices in user plane 350 is largely the same as the corresponding layers and sublayers in control plane 300 for physical layer 351, PDCP sublayer 354 in L2 layer 355, RLC sublayer 353 in L2 layer 355 and MAC sublayer 352 in L2 layer 355. However, PDCP sublayer 354 also provides header compression for upper layer data packets to reduce radio transmission overhead.The L2 layer 355 in the user plane 350 also includes an SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol) sublayer 356, which is responsible for mapping between QoS streams and data radio bearers (DRBs) to support service diversity. Although not illustrated, the first communication node device may have several upper layers above the L2 layer 355, including a network layer (e.g., IP layer) terminating at the P-GW on the network side and an application layer terminating at the other end of the connection (e.g., a remote UE, server, etc.).

[0389] Example 4

[0390] Example 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 4 As shown. (Attached) Figure 4 This is a block diagram of a first communication device 410 and a second communication device 450 communicating with each other in an access network.

[0391] The first communication device 410 includes a controller / processor 475, a memory 476, a receiver processor 470, a transmitter processor 416, a multi-antenna receiver processor 472, a multi-antenna transmitter processor 471, a transmitter / receiver 418, and an antenna 420.

[0392] The second communication device 450 includes a controller / processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmitting processor 468, a receiving processor 456, a multi-antenna transmitting processor 457, a multi-antenna receiving processor 458, a transmitter / receiver 454, and an antenna 452.

[0393] In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the first communication device 410, upper-layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller / processor 475. The controller / processor 475 implements L2 layer functionality. In the L2 layer, the controller / processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the second communication device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for HARQ operation, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the second communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for the L1 layer (i.e., the physical layer). Transmit processor 416 performs encoding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 450, and constellation mapping based on various modulation schemes (e.g., Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), M-Phase Shift Keying (M-PSK), M-QAM). Multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding on the encoded and modulated symbols, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing, generating one or more parallel streams. Transmit processor 416 then maps each parallel stream to a subcarrier, multiplexes the modulated symbols with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domains, and subsequently uses Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. Multi-antenna transmit processor 471 then performs transmit analog precoding / beamforming operations on the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmitter processor 471 into an radio frequency stream, which is then provided to different antennas 420.

[0394] In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the second communication device 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal through its corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers the information modulated onto the radio frequency carrier and converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multicarrier symbol stream, which is then provided to the receiver processor 456. The receiver processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 implement various signal processing functions of the L1 layer. The multi-antenna receiver processor 458 performs receive analog precoding / beamforming operations on the baseband multicarrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receiver processor 456 uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert the baseband multicarrier symbol stream after the receive analog precoding / beamforming operations from the time domain to the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signal and the reference signal are demultiplexed by the receiver processor 456, where the reference signal is used for channel estimation, and the data signal is recovered in the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 after multi-antenna detection to recover any parallel stream destined for the second communication device 450. Symbols on each parallel stream are demodulated and recovered in the receive processor 456, generating soft decisions. The receive processor 456 then decodes and deinterleaves the soft decisions to recover the upper-layer data and control signals transmitted over the physical channel by the first communication device 410. The upper-layer data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 459. The controller / processor 459 implements the functions of Layer 2 (L2). The controller / processor 459 may be associated with a memory 460 storing program code and data. The memory 460 may be referred to as computer-readable media. In the DL (Layered Logic), the controller / processor 459 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transmission and logical channels to recover upper-layer packets from the core network. The upper-layer packets are then provided to all protocol layers above Layer 2. Various control signals may also be provided to Layer 3 (L3) for L3 processing. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[0395] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, at the second communication device 450, a data source 467 is used to provide upper-layer data packets to the controller / processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above the L2 layer. Similar to the transmission functions at the first communication device 410 described in the DL, the controller / processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on the radio resource allocation of the first communication device 410, implementing L2 layer functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for HARQ operations, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the first communication device 410. Transmit processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding processing, while multi-antenna transmit processor 457 performs digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing. Subsequently, transmit processor 468 modulates the generated parallel stream into a multi-carrier / single-carrier symbol stream. After analog precoding / beamforming operations in multi-antenna transmit processor 457, the stream is provided to different antennas 452 via transmitter 454. Each transmitter 454 first converts the baseband symbol stream provided by multi-antenna transmit processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream before providing it to antenna 452.

[0396] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the function at the first communication device 410 is similar to the receiving function at the second communication device 450 described in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives radio frequency signals through its corresponding antenna 420, converts the received radio frequency signals into baseband signals, and provides the baseband signals to the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 and the receiving processor 470. The receiving processor 470 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 jointly implement the L1 layer functions. The controller / processor 475 implements the L2 layer functions. The controller / processor 475 may be associated with a memory 476 that stores program code and data. The memory 476 may be referred to as computer-readable media. The controller / processor 475 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transmission and logical channels to recover upper-layer data packets from the second communication device 450. The upper-layer data packets from the controller / processor 475 may be provided to the core network. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.
