Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of communication technology, and specifically relates to a CSI feedback method, apparatus, terminal, network-side equipment and medium. Background Art

[0002] In wireless communication systems, network-side devices and terminals generally use multiple antennas for transmission and reception to obtain higher transmission rates. One principle of multi-antenna technology is to use some characteristics of the channel to form multi-layer transmission that matches the channel characteristics. The radiation direction of the signal is targeted, and the system performance can be improved without increasing the bandwidth and power. Network-side devices can improve transmission efficiency and reliability by precoding multiple antennas. In order to achieve high-performance precoded transmission, the precoding matrix needs to match the channel, which requires the terminal to feedback the channel state information (CSI). The network-side device performs precoded transmission based on the CSI fed back by the terminal.

[0003] The CSI fed back by the terminal includes high-precision CSI or low-precision CSI. In scenarios where the channel changes drastically, the channel changes shorten the effective time of the high-precision CSI, resulting in poor robustness of the high-precision CSI. For example, in high-speed mobile scenarios, the performance of high-precision CSI may be lower than that of low-precision CSI. In scenarios where the channel changes relatively slowly, the channel accuracy of high-precision CSI will bring greater performance gains than that of low-precision CSI.

[0004] Currently, network-side devices can only configure terminals to report high-precision CSI or low-precision CSI and configure corresponding codebook parameters through high-level signaling. They cannot adapt to channel changes in real time, which easily leads to loss of CSI feedback accuracy or CSI feedback robustness. Summary of the invention

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, only the base station in the NR system is used as an example for introduction, and the specific type of the base station is not limited.

[0053] To facilitate understanding, the relevant technologies and concepts involved in the embodiments of the present application are first introduced.

[0054] In related technologies, network-side equipment, such as a base station, configures the terminal to use Type I or Type II for CSI feedback.

[0055] Type I CSI is a CSI with lower precision, i.e., low-precision CSI. The precoding matrix W on each layer and each subband contains only one codebook basis vector, for example:

[0056] W = W1W2;

[0057] Among them, W1 contains only one codebook basis vector, and W2 represents the coefficient after the basis vector projection. For a dual-polarized antenna array, W1 can be expressed as:

[0058]

[0059] v represents a codebook basis vector, which is generally a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) vector or a Kronecker product of a DFT vector.

[0060] Type IICSI is CSI with higher accuracy, that is, high-precision CSI, which compresses and feeds back CSI through multiple codebook basis vectors.

[0061] For Type IICSI with only spatial compression, the precoding matrix on each layer and each subband can be expressed as:

[0062] W = W1W2;

[0063] Among them, W1 contains multiple spatial basis vectors, and W2 represents the compressed coefficients. For example:

[0064]

[0065] For CSI feedback using spatial basis vectors and frequency basis vectors, the precoding matrix of a certain layer on N3 subbands and P ports can be modeled as:

[0066]

[0067] Among them, W1 contains multiple spatial basis vectors, W f Contains one or more frequency domain basis vectors, for example, W f Each column in is a frequency domain basis vector, and W2 represents the compressed coefficient.

[0068] For CSI feedback using spatial basis vectors, frequency basis vectors, and time basis vectors, the precoding matrix of a certain layer over P ports, N3 subbands, and N4 time units can be modeled as:

[0069]

[0070] Among them, W1 contains multiple spatial basis vectors, W f Contains one or more frequency domain basis vectors, W t Contains one or more time-domain basis vectors, for example, W t Each column in is a time domain basis vector, and W2 represents the compressed coefficient.

[0071] In scenarios where the channel changes relatively slowly, the channel accuracy of high-precision CSI will bring greater performance gains than that of low-precision CSI. However, in scenarios where the channel changes more drastically, the channel changes make the effective time of high-precision CSI very short, resulting in poor robustness of high-precision CSI. For example, in high-speed mobile scenarios, the performance of Type IICSI may be worse than that of Type I CSI.

[0072] The above is an introduction to the relevant technologies and concepts involved in the embodiments of the present application. The following is a detailed description of the CSI feedback method provided in the embodiments of the present application through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0073] See also Figure 2 As shown, it is an implementation flow chart of a CSI feedback method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and the method includes the following steps:

[0074] S210: The terminal receives configuration information for channel state information CSI from a network side device;

[0075] S220: The terminal selects part or all of the information associated with the configuration information for CSI feedback, and the fed-back CSI includes relevant information of the selected information;

[0076] The precoding matrix indicated by the fed-back CSI is the product of at least two sub-matrices, and the dimension of at least one sub-matrix of the at least two sub-matrices is determined based on the selected information.

[0077] For the convenience of description, the above two steps are combined for explanation.

[0078] The network side device sends configuration information for CSI to the terminal. The information associated with the configuration information for CSI may include CSI feedback configuration information or CSI-associated CSI reference signal (Channel State Information-ReferenceSignal, CSI-RS) resource configuration information. After receiving the configuration information for CSI from the network side device, the terminal selects part or all of the information associated with the configuration information for CSI feedback, that is, part or all of the information associated with the configuration information is selected for CSI feedback. The more information selected in the information associated with the configuration information, the more information is available for CSI feedback, and the higher the corresponding CSI accuracy. The less information selected in the information associated with the configuration information, the less information is available for CSI feedback, and the lower the corresponding CSI accuracy. The CSI fed back by the terminal contains relevant information of the selected information.

[0079] The precoding matrix indicated by the CSI fed back by the terminal is the product of at least two sub-matrices, and the dimension of at least one of the at least two sub-matrices is determined based on the selected information. The relevant information of the selected information included in the CSI fed back by the terminal may include the dimension value information of the selected information.

[0080] The network side device receives the CSI fed back by the terminal, and performs precoding transmission based on the CSI fed back by the terminal.

[0081] By applying the method provided in the embodiment of the present application, after the terminal receives the configuration information for CSI from the network side device, it selects part or all of the information associated with the configuration information for CSI feedback, and the fed-back CSI contains the relevant information of the selected information. The precoding matrix indicated by the CSI fed-back by the terminal is the product of at least two sub-matrices, and the dimension of at least one of the at least two sub-matrices is determined based on the selected information. CSI feedback is no longer solely dependent on the configuration of the network side device, but the terminal selection is increased, so that different precision CSI feedback can be adapted to channel changes in real time, effectively avoiding the loss of CSI feedback accuracy or CSI feedback robustness.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the configuration information may include configuration information of P CSI reference signal ports, where P is a positive integer. The terminal selects part or all of the information associated with the configuration information for CSI feedback, and the fed-back CSI includes relevant information of the selected information, which may include the following steps:

[0083] The terminal selects P1 CSI reference signal ports from the P CSI reference signal ports for CSI feedback, and the fed-back CSI includes relevant information of the selected CSI reference signal ports, where P1 is a positive integer;

[0084] At least one of the at least two sub-matrices includes one or more codebook basis vectors, and the length of each codebook basis vector is determined based on P1.

[0085] In an embodiment of the present application, a network side device may configure one or more CSI reference signal resources for CSI feedback, including P CSI reference signal ports. The configuration information for CSI sent by the network side device to the terminal may include configuration information of the P CSI reference signal ports. After receiving the configuration information for CSI, the terminal selects P1 CSI reference signal ports from the P CSI reference signal ports by measuring the CSI reference signal, and performs CSI feedback based on the P1 CSI reference signal port, and the fed-back CSI includes relevant information of the selected CSI reference signal port.

[0086] The precoding matrix indicated by the CSI fed back by the terminal is the product of at least two sub-matrices, at least one of the at least two sub-matrices contains one or more codebook basis vectors, and the length of each codebook basis vector is determined based on P1. Optionally, the length of each codebook basis vector is P1 / M1, and M1 is a positive integer. The terminal can report the value of P1 to the network side device.

[0087] The terminal selects P1 CSI reference signal port from the P CSI reference signal ports configured by the network side device for CSI feedback, which helps to instantly adapt to channel changes and provide CSI feedback of different accuracies, effectively avoiding the loss of CSI feedback accuracy or CSI feedback robustness.

[0088] Optionally, the precoding matrix or a part of the precoding matrix is ​​determined according to the product of a matrix consisting of one or more codebook basis vectors and a first matrix, and the first matrix is ​​used to indicate a selection method for selecting P1 CSI reference signal ports from P CSI reference signal ports.

[0089] That is, the precoding matrix or part of the precoding matrix indicated by the CSI fed back by the terminal can be determined by multiplying the matrix composed of one or more codebook basis vectors by the first matrix, and the first matrix is ​​used to indicate the selection method of selecting P1 CSI reference signal ports from P CSI reference signal ports, that is, how to select P1 CSI reference signal ports from P CSI reference signal ports. This helps the network side device to perform precoding transmission.

[0090] Optionally, the P1 CSI reference signal ports may include consecutive ports among the P CSI reference signal ports, that is, the terminal selects consecutive P1 CSI reference signal ports among the P CSI reference signal ports for CSI feedback. For example, P=8, the P CSI reference signal ports are ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 in order, and P1=4. One possible situation of the CSI reference signal ports selected among the P CSI reference signal ports is: port 2, port 3, port 4, and port 5.

[0091] Optionally, the P1 CSI reference signal ports may include equally spaced ports among the P CSI reference signal ports, that is, the terminal selects equally spaced P1 CSI reference signal ports among the P CSI reference signal ports for CSI feedback. For example, P=8, the P CSI reference signal ports are respectively ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 in order, and P1=4. One possible situation of the CSI reference signal ports selected among the P CSI reference signal ports is: port 1, port 3, port 5, and port 7.

[0092] Optionally, the P1 CSI reference signal ports may include a plurality of port groups equally spaced among the P CSI reference signal ports, and each port group includes a plurality of continuous ports. For example, P=8, the P CSI reference signal ports are ports 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 in order, and P1=4. A possible situation of the CSI reference signal ports selected from the P CSI reference signal ports is: ports 0, 1, 3, 4, 6, and 7, wherein the first port group includes continuous ports 0 and 1, the second port group includes continuous ports 3 and 4, and the third port group includes continuous ports 6 and 7, and there is one port between the first port group and the second port group, and between the second port group and the third port group.

[0156] It should be noted that the above-mentioned related embodiments can be combined with each other to form new embodiments, and they will not be described again to avoid repetition.

[0157] For ease of understanding, the following takes the network side device as a base station as an example to illustrate the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application through specific examples.

[0158] Example 1: The terminal selects the port first and then compresses

[0159] The base station configures one or more CSI-RS resources for CSI feedback, including a total of P CSI-RS ports. The terminal selects P1 CSI-RS ports from the P CSI-RS ports for CSI feedback by measuring the CSI-RS. The terminal uses the codebook basis vector to perform CSI compression feedback for the selected P1 CSI-RS ports. Optionally, for the precoding vector or matrix on a certain layer, when only spatial domain compression or frequency domain compression exists, it can be modeled as the multiplication of the following multiple sub-matrices:

[0160]

[0161] Among them, W0 represents a matrix for selecting P1 CSI-RS ports from P CSI-RS ports. Specifically, W0 is a matrix with P rows and P1 columns, and each column has and only has one element whose value is a non-zero value, such as 1, and the values ​​of other elements are 0. W1 represents compressed feedback of the selected P1 CSI-RS ports through codebook basis vectors. Optionally, W1 contains one or more spatial basis vectors, and the length of each spatial basis vector is P1, or, when considering compressed feedback of two polarization directions respectively, the length of each spatial basis vector is P1 / 2, or, when considering compressed feedback of multiple antenna panels or subarrays respectively, the length of each spatial basis vector is P1 / M1, where M1 is a positive integer.

[0162] In a further example, the codebook basis vector is a DFT vector or a Kronecker product of a DFT vector.

[0163] The terminal indicates the information of W0 in the CSI, for example, by indicating the position of non-zero elements in each column through port numbers or bitmaps, etc. In addition, the terminal indicates the value of P1 in the CSI, for example, by encoding and reporting the value of P1 or P1 / M1 in the first part of the CSI.

[0164] In a further example, the base station configures multiple W0 candidate matrices, each candidate matrix is ​​used to represent a selection method for selecting P1 CSI-RS ports from P CSI-RS ports, and the terminal selects one of the candidate matrices from the candidate matrices and reports it to the base station.

[0165] In a further example, W f It represents the frequency domain compression matrix. The precoding matrix recovered by the base station can be expressed as a precoding matrix of a certain layer on P antenna ports and N3 subbands.

[0166] When there is no frequency domain compression, the precoding matrix of a certain layer on P antenna ports and each subband is:

[0167] W=0W1W2.

[0168] In one possible implementation, W0 can be represented by the following block diagonal matrix:

[0169]

[0170] or,

[0171]

[0172] Wherein, M1 is a positive integer, and the number of columns contained in each submatrix is ​​P1 / M1, that is, the terminal selects P1 / M1 CSI-RS ports from each P / M1 CSI-RS port. Each submatrix may be the same or different. When each submatrix is ​​the same, the terminal reports the information of the P1 / M1 CSI-RS ports selected from each P / M1 CSI-RS port. In addition, the matrix W1 can also be represented in the form of a diagonal matrix formed by multiple submatrices, and each submatrix contains one or more codebook basis vectors of length P1 / M1.

[0173] When there is spatial domain compression, frequency domain compression, and time domain compression, the precoding vector or matrix on a certain layer can be modeled as the multiplication of the following multiple sub-matrices:

[0174]

[0175] This matrix represents the addition of the time domain compression matrix W on the basis of frequency domain compression. t, the precoding matrix recovered by the base station can be expressed as a precoding matrix of a certain layer on P antenna ports, N3 subbands and N4 time units. In this example, the information and structure represented by W0 and W1 can be the same as the previous example. Optionally, W0 represents a matrix for selecting P1 CSI-RS ports from P CSI-RS ports. Optionally, W0 is a matrix with P rows and P1 columns, and each column has and only has one element with a non-zero value, such as 1, and the values ​​of the other elements are 0. W1 represents compressed feedback of the selected P1 CSI-RS ports through the codebook basis vector. Optionally, W1 contains one or more spatial basis vectors, and the length of each spatial basis vector is P1, or, when considering compressed feedback of two polarization directions respectively, the length of each spatial basis vector is P1 / 2, or, when considering compressed feedback of multiple antenna panels or subarrays respectively, the length of each spatial basis vector is P1 / M1, where M1 is a positive integer.

[0176] In a further example, the codebook basis vector is a DFT vector or a Kronecker product of a DFT vector.

[0177] The terminal indicates the information of W0 in the CSI, for example, by indicating the position of non-zero elements in each column through port numbers or bitmaps, etc. In addition, the terminal indicates the value of P1 in the CSI, for example, by encoding and reporting the value of P1 or P1 / M1 in the first part of the CSI.

[0178] In a further example, the base station configures multiple W0 candidate matrices, each candidate matrix is ​​used to represent a selection method for selecting P1 CSI-RS ports from P CSI-RS ports, and the terminal selects one of the candidate matrices from the candidate matrices and reports it to the base station.

[0179] In a further example, if P CSI-RS ports and P1 CSI-RS ports include a dual-polarization array, the terminal can report the numbering information of the P1 / 2 CSI-RS ports in the first P / 2 CSI-RS ports (polarization 0) among the P CSI-RS ports, and the remaining P1 / 2 CSI-RS ports can be the port number selected according to the first half + P / 2. Optionally, the numbers of the P1 / 2 CSI-RS ports are continuous.

[0180] In a further example, if the P CSI-RS ports and the P1 CSI-RS ports include a dual-polarization array, the terminal may report numbering information indicating that the P1 / 2M1 CSI-RS ports are among the first P / 2M1 CSI-RS ports (polarization 0) of the P / M1 CSI-RS ports associated with the first CSI-RS, or multiple CSI-RS shared port indication information. Optionally, the numbering of the P1 / 2M1 CSI-RS ports is continuous.

[0181] In a further example, optionally, for the calculation of a channel quality indicator (CQI), it is assumed that data symbols of m layers are sent through selected P1 CSI-RS ports or P1 / M1 CSI-RS ports.

[0182] or,

[0183] W0(i) is obtained according to the port indication, and P0 represents the number of the first CSI-RS port.

[0184] In a further example, W f represents the frequency domain compression matrix. When there is no frequency domain compression, W f is the unit matrix. The precoding matrix recovered by the base station can be expressed as a precoding matrix of a certain layer on P antenna ports and N3 subbands.

[0185] In another specific example, W0 can be represented by the following block diagonal matrix:

[0186]

[0187] or,

[0188]

[0189] Wherein, M1 is a positive integer, and the number of columns contained in each submatrix is ​​P1 / M1, that is, the terminal selects P1 / M1 CSI-RS ports from each P / M1 CSI-RS port. Each submatrix may be the same or different. When each submatrix is ​​the same, it is only necessary to report the information of the P1 / M1 CSI-RS ports selected from each P / M1 CSI-RS port. In addition, the matrix W1 may also be represented in the form of a diagonal matrix formed by multiple submatrices, and each submatrix contains one or more codebook basis vectors of length P1 / M1.

[0190] In a further example, the base station may configure multiple candidate values ​​of P1, and the terminal selects one candidate value of P1 from among them as the value of P1 and reports it to the base station.

[0191] In a further example, the number of CSI calculation units (CPUs) occupied by the terminal is related to the number of candidate values ​​of P1.

[0192] In a further example, only when the time interval between the last CSI-RS or CSI-RS occasion and the CSI reporting moment (such as time slot, OFDM symbol, etc.) exceeds the threshold, the terminal selects a P1 value to calculate the CSI, or, if multiple P1 candidate values ​​are configured, the terminal uses the default P1 candidate value (for example, the smallest P1 candidate value) as the P1 value to calculate the CSI.

[0193] Through the above example, in the scenario where the terminal moves at high speed, the terminal can select the most suitable or most reliable number of transmission antenna ports through real-time channel measurement, thereby forming a wider beam on the base station side to cope with the high-speed movement of the terminal and improve the performance of data transmission.

[0194] Example 2: The terminal reports N1 and N2

[0195] The base station configures one or more CSI-RS resources for CSI feedback, including a total of P CSI-RS ports. The terminal selects P1 CSI-RS ports from the P CSI-RS ports for CSI feedback. The terminal uses the codebook basis vector to perform CSI compression feedback for the selected P1 CSI-RS ports. When the terminal generates the codebook basis vector, it generally requires N1 first port components or N2 second port components. For example, for a dual-polarized planar antenna array, the rectangular antenna array in each polarization direction includes N1 horizontal antenna ports and N2 vertical antenna ports, and the total number of antenna ports is 2*N1*N2, such as Figure 3 shown.

[0196] The codebook basis vector used on the port in each polarization direction (for example, the first half of the ports or the second half of the ports) is expressed as follows:

[0197]

[0198] Wherein, v1 is a codebook basis vector component formed on N1 first port components, and v2 is a codebook basis vector component formed on N2 second port components. For example, v1 and v2 are DFT vectors, and the final codebook basis vector is the Kronecker product of the DFT vectors.

[0199] For the P1 antenna ports selected by the terminal, the terminal can report N1 and N2, where N1*N2=P1, or N1*N2=P1 / 2, or N1*N2=P1 / M2, and M2 is a positive integer. In addition, the terminal can report the numbering information of the N1 first port components in the P CSI-RS ports or in the P1 CSI-RS ports, or report the numbering information of the N2 second port components in the P CSI-RS ports or in the P1 CSI-RS ports.

[0200] In addition, the terminal may also determine the values ​​of N1 and N2 according to predefined rules, including but not limited to, the ratio of N1 and N2 satisfies a certain relationship, and the port numbers occupied by N1 and N2 in the P CSI-RS ports satisfy a certain relationship. For example, N1 and N2 represent continuous ports of the P1 CSI-RS ports in the P CSI-RS ports, or equally spaced ports, or equally spaced continuous ports, etc.

[0201] In another example, the base station configures a total of P maximum port components corresponding to CSI-RS ports, that is, T1 maximum first port components and T2 maximum second port components, where T1*T2=P, or T1*T2=P / M3, M3 is a positive integer. The terminal can determine N1, N2 and the corresponding port components through T1 and T2.

[0202] In one possible manner, the terminal reports the corresponding information of N1 first port components in T1 largest first port components, or the corresponding information of N2 second port components in T2 largest second port components. For example, the terminal reports at least one of the following information: the ratio of N1 to T1, the ratio of N2 to T2, the starting number or ending number of N1 first port components, the starting number or ending number of N2 second port components, the number interval of every two adjacent port components in N1 first port components, and the number interval of every two adjacent port components in N2 second port components.

[0203] In another possible manner, the terminal determines N1, N2 and the corresponding port components according to T1, T2 and a predefined rule, for example, N1, N2 and the corresponding port components satisfy at least one of the following conditions: the ratio of N1 to N2 is equal to the ratio of T1 to T2, the N1 first port components include the continuous port components of the T1 largest first port components, and the N2 second port components include the continuous port components of the T2 largest second port components, such as Figure 4 As shown, N1 first port components include T1 maximum first port components and equally spaced port components, and N2 second port components include T2 maximum second port components and equally spaced port components, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 shown.

[0204] In a further example, the base station configures one or more pairs of candidate values ​​of N1 and N2, and the terminal selects one pair of candidate values ​​of N1 and N2 from the one or more pairs of candidate values ​​of N1 and N2 as the values ​​of N1 and N2.

[0205] Example 3: The terminal reports the number of basic vectors

[0206] The base station configures the terminal to feed back CSI through L codebook basis vectors in the configuration information for CSI. The codebook basis vector may be a spatial domain basis vector, a frequency domain basis vector or a time domain basis vector.

[0207] For CSI feedback using only spatial basis vectors, the precoding matrix of a subband at a certain layer on P CSI-RS ports can be modeled as:

[0208] W=1W2(1)

[0209] Among them, W1 contains the spatial basis vectors and W2 represents the compressed coefficients.

[0210] For CSI feedback using spatial basis vectors and frequency basis vectors, the precoding matrix of a certain layer on N3 subbands and P CSI-RS ports can be modeled as:

[0211]

[0212] Among them, W1 contains the spatial basis vector, W f Contains frequency domain basis vectors, and W2 represents the compressed coefficients.

[0213] For CSI feedback using spatial basis vectors, frequency basis vectors, and time basis vectors, the precoding matrix of a certain layer on P CSI-RS ports, N3 subbands, and N4 time units can be modeled as:

[0214]

[0215] Among them, W1 contains the spatial basis vector, W f Contains frequency domain basis vectors, W t Contains the time domain basis vectors, and W2 represents the compressed coefficients.

[0216] In the above formulas (1), (2) and (3), the spatial domain basis vector, the frequency domain basis vector or the time domain basis vector is a DFT vector or a Kronecker product of a DFT vector.

[0217] After the terminal determines the spatial basis vector, frequency domain basis vector or time domain basis vector according to the L value configured by the base station, it selects L1 spatial basis vectors, frequency domain basis vectors or time domain basis vectors for CSI feedback. The terminal reports the value of L1. L1 is a positive integer. In a further example, L1=1. In a further example, the L1=1 basis vector (for example, the frequency domain basis vector or the time domain basis vector) selected by the terminal is a default basis vector (for example, a basis vector numbered 0, or a basis vector of all 1s). At this time, the terminal does not report the selected basis vector number.

[0218] For the spatial basis vector, the terminal obtains a new basis vector by multiplying the matrix W1 composed of L spatial basis vectors configured by the base station by the matrix indicating the selection method of selecting L1 basis vectors from L spatial basis vectors. Optionally, in the precoding matrix, W1W s Matrix replacement of W1, W in (1), (2), (3) s is a matrix with L rows and L1 columns, each column has only one element with a non-zero value (e.g., 1), and the values ​​of the other elements are 0. In a further example, W s is a block diagonal matrix, as shown below:

[0219]

[0220] Wherein, M is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and each diagonal block represents a matrix for selecting L1 / M basis vectors from L / M basis vectors.

[0221] Similarly, for the frequency domain basis vector, the matrix W composed of L frequency domain basis vectors configured at the base station is f The terminal obtains a new basis vector by multiplying the matrix indicating the selection method of selecting L1 basis vectors from L frequency domain basis vectors. Optionally, in the precoding matrix, W f W s Matrix replacement of W in (2) and (3) f , W s It is a matrix with L rows and L1 columns. Each column has only one element with a non-zero value (for example, 1), and the other elements are 0.

[0222] Similarly, for the time domain basis vector, the matrix W composed of L time domain basis vectors configured at the base station is t The terminal obtains a new basis vector by multiplying the matrix used to indicate the selection method of selecting L1 basis vectors from L time domain basis vectors. Optionally, in the precoding matrix, W t W s Matrix replacement of W in (3) t , W sIt is a matrix with L rows and L1 columns. Each column has only one element with a non-zero value (for example, 1), and the other elements are 0.

[0223] By using the above-mentioned terminal feedback basis vector number method, the terminal can change the granularity of channel matrix quantization in the spatial domain, frequency domain or time domain according to the real-time changes of the channel, and thus obtain feedback parameters that are more suitable for the current channel, jointly optimize the accuracy and reliability of channel feedback, and obtain higher CSI feedback performance.

[0224] Example 4: Mixed Type I + Type II, differentiated by sub-band

[0225] The base station configures the frequency domain resources associated with CSI feedback, such as S subbands associated with CSI feedback, and the terminal feedbacks the CSI on the associated frequency domain resources. In scenarios where the channel changes drastically, different frequency domain resources require different CSI accuracy or CSI robustness. The terminal can use different codebook parameters on different frequency domain resources to improve CSI feedback performance.

[0226] One possible way is that the terminal uses different codebook parameters in different frequency domain resources through the configuration information configured by the base station or predefined rules. For example, the base station configures multiple codebook parameters and indicates the association relationship between different codebook parameters and the frequency domain resources associated with the CSI. For example, the subband associated with the first type of codebook parameters is the first type of subband, and the subband associated with the second type of codebook parameters is the second type of subband. The base station can indicate the subbands included in the first type of subband or the second type of subband through configuration information. Alternatively, the terminal can determine the first type of subband or the second type of subband through some predefined rules. For example, the first type of subband (or the second type of subband) is a continuous subband in S subbands, such as Figure 6 As shown, subbands 0-3 correspond to the first type of codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 1, and subbands 4-7 correspond to the second type of codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 4; or the first type of subband (or the second type of subband) is a subband with equal spacing among the S subbands, such as Figure 7 As shown, subbands 0, 2, 4, and 6 correspond to the first type of codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 1, and subbands 1, 3, 5, and 7 correspond to the second type of codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 4; or the first type of subband (or the second type of subband) is a continuous subband with equal intervals among the S subbands, such as Figure 8 As shown, subbands 0, 1, 4, and 5 correspond to the first type of codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 1, and subbands 2, 3, 6, and 7 correspond to the second type of codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 4.

[0227] The codebook parameters at least include the number of codebook basis vectors, the number of quantization states of coefficients, etc. For example, the number of at least one codebook basis vector associated with the first type of subband is 1, and the number of at least one codebook basis vector associated with the second type of subband is greater than 1.

[0228] Another possible way is that the terminal reports the subband division method using different codebook parameters. The terminal selects S1 subbands from a total of S subbands for CSI feedback using the first type of codebook parameters, and the selected subbands are called first type subbands. The subbands of the S subbands that are not included in the S1 subbands use the second type of codebook parameters, and such subbands are called second type subbands. At least one codebook parameter associated with the first type subband is different from at least one codebook parameter associated with the second type subband. For example, the value of at least one codebook parameter associated with the first type subband is greater than the value of at least one codebook parameter associated with the second type subband. In a special example, the precoding of the first type subband contains multiple codebook basis vectors per layer, and the precoding of the second type subband contains one codebook basis vector per layer. Each subband associated with the selected first type subband (for example, W in the above formulas (2) and (3)) f ) length is equal to the number S1 of subbands included in the first type of subbands.

[0229] Optionally, the first type of subband is S1 consecutive subbands among the S subbands; the terminal reports the switching information between the first type of subband and the second type of subband. For example, the terminal reports a threshold Thr, and the subbands less than or equal to Thr are the first type of subbands, and the subbands greater than Thr are the second type of subbands, and vice versa.

[0230] Optionally, the first type of subbands are S1 subbands that are equally spaced among the S subbands.

[0231] Optionally, the first type of subbands are continuous subbands at intervals of a certain number among the S subbands.

[0232] Optionally, the terminal only reports the CSI associated with the first type of subbands, and omits the CSI associated with the second type of subbands.

[0233] Example 5: Mixed Type I + Type II, distinguished by time domain units

[0234] The base station configures the time domain resources associated with CSI feedback, such as S time units associated with CSI feedback, and the terminal feedbacks the CSI on the associated time units. In scenarios where the channel changes drastically, the CSI accuracy or CSI robustness required for different time units is different. The terminal can use different codebook parameters on different time units to improve the CSI feedback performance. For example, the terminal can only predict high-precision CSI on earlier time units, but cannot predict high-precision CSI on later time units.

[0235] One possible way is that the terminal uses different codebook parameters in different time units through the configuration information configured by the base station or predefined rules. For example, the base station configures multiple codebook parameters and indicates the association relationship between different codebook configuration parameters and CSI-associated time units. For example, the time unit associated with the first type of codebook parameter is the first type of time unit, and the time unit associated with the second type of codebook parameter is the second type of time unit. The base station can indicate the time unit included in the first type of time unit or the second type of time unit through the configuration information. Alternatively, the terminal determines the first type of time unit or the second type of time unit through some predefined rules. For example, the first type of time unit (or the second type of time unit) is a continuous time unit among S time units, such as Fig. 9 As shown, time units 4-7 correspond to the first type of codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 1, and time units 0-3 correspond to the second type of codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 4; or the first type of time unit (or the second type of time unit) is a time unit with equal intervals among S time units, such as Fig.10 As shown, time units 0, 2, 4, and 6 correspond to the first type of codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 1, and time units 1, 3, 5, and 7 correspond to the second type of codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 4; or the first type of time unit (or the second type of time unit) is a continuous time unit with equal intervals among S time units, such as Fig.11 As shown, time units 0, 1, 4, and 5 correspond to first-type codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 1, and time units 2, 3, 6, and 7 correspond to second-type codebook parameters, such as the number of codebook basis vectors is 4.

[0236] The codebook parameters at least include the number of codebook basis vectors, the number of quantization states of coefficients, etc. For example, the number of at least one codebook basis vector associated with the first type of time unit is 1, and the number of at least one codebook basis vector associated with the second type of time unit is greater than 1.

[0237] Another possible way is that the terminal reports the time unit division method using different codebook parameters. The terminal selects S1 time units from a total of S time units for CSI feedback using the first type of codebook parameters, and the selected subband is called the first type of subband. The time units in the S time units that are not included in the S1 time units use the second type of codebook parameters, and such time units are called second type of time units. At least one codebook parameter associated with the first type of time unit is different from at least one codebook parameter associated with the second type of time unit. For example, the value of at least one codebook parameter associated with the first type of time unit is greater than the value of at least one codebook parameter associated with the second type of time unit. In a special example, the precoding of the first type of time unit includes multiple codebook basis vectors per layer, and the precoding of the second type of time unit includes one codebook basis vector per layer. Each time domain basis vector associated with the selected first type of time unit (for example, W in formula (3) above) t ) length is equal to the number of time units S1 contained in the first type of time unit.

[0238] Optionally, the first type of time unit is S1 consecutive time units among the S time units; the terminal reports the switching information between the first type of time unit and the second type of time unit. For example, the terminal reports a threshold Thr, and the time unit less than or equal to Thr is the first type of time unit, and the time unit greater than Thr is the second type of time unit, and vice versa.

[0239] Optionally, the first type of time unit is S1 time units that are equally spaced among the S time units.

[0240] Optionally, the first type of time unit is a continuous time unit at a certain interval among the S time units.

[0241] Optionally, the terminal only reports the CSI associated with the first type of time unit, and omits the CSI associated with the second type of time unit.

[0242] Example 6: Terminal reports quantization status data

[0243] In order to balance the accuracy of CSI and the robustness of CSI, especially the robustness of CSI in high-speed scenarios, the terminal can report the quantization state number of the coefficient amplitude or phase in CSI. For example, the terminal reports the quantization state number of the non-zero coefficient amplitude or phase contained in the matrix W2 in formulas (1), (2), and (3), or the terminal reports the number of bits occupied by each non-zero coefficient amplitude or phase in W2.

[0244] Optionally, multiple amplitude or phase quantization tables are predefined or configured by the base station through signaling, for example, a 3-bit amplitude quantization table, or a 4-bit amplitude quantization table; a 3-bit phase quantization table, or a 4-bit phase quantization table, and the terminal reports which table is used for amplitude or phase quantization.

[0245] Example 7: The terminal updates the maximum number of streams (ranks)

[0246] The terminal can improve the robustness of CSI feedback by updating the maximum rank number. For example, the terminal reports the maximum rank number through the MAC layer control unit (MAC Control Element, MAC CE) or uplink control information (Uplink Control Information, UCI) to determine the maximum rank number of subsequent CSI feedback (for example, within a subsequent period of time, or before the next maximum rank number is reported).

[0247] Through the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application, in a scenario where the terminal is moving at high speed, the terminal can select the most appropriate or most reliable configuration information for CSI through real-time channel measurement, and perform CSI feedback based on the selected information, which helps to improve data transmission performance.
