Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the NR (New Radio) system, CSI-RS (Channel State Information-Reference Signal) is an important downlink reference signal that can be configured for various functions such as channel state information feedback. Currently, the number of ports of a CSI-RS resource supports 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 32. The current time-frequency position of a 32-port CSI-RS resource is as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0003] In the frequency band near 6GHz, since the attenuation rate of wireless signals with communication distance is faster than that of lower frequency bands (such as 1GHz band), corresponding technical enhancements are needed to ensure the coverage of the cell. Therefore, the base station needs to support larger antenna arrays and achieve a longer communication distance through joint transmission of more antenna ports. Accordingly, in order to measure the channels of more antenna ports, a feasible way is to design CSI-RS resources containing more ports.

The network devices may also be referred to as access network devices, for example, may be base stations (BS) (also referred to as base station devices) or base station controllers (BSC).

[0058] A network device is a device deployed in a Radio Access Network (RAN) to provide wireless communication functions. For example, in the second-generation (2nd-Generation, 2G) network, the device that provides the base station function includes the base transceiver station (Base Transceiver Station, BTS), in the third-generation (3rd-Generation, 3G) network, the device that provides the base station function includes the node B (NodeB), in the fourth-generation (4th-Generation, 4G) network, the device that provides the base station function includes the evolved node B (evolved NodeB, eNB), in the wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Networks, WLAN), the device that provides the base station function is the access point (Access Point, AP), and the device that provides the base station function in the 5G new radio (New Radio, NR) is the next generation Node Basestation (next generation Node Basestation, gNB), and the evolved node B (ng-eNB), wherein the gNB and the terminal communicate using NR technology, and the ng-eNB and the terminal communicate using evolved universal terrestrial radio access (Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access, E-UTRA) technology, and both gNB and ng-eNB can be connected to the 5G core network. The base station in the embodiment of the present application also includes equipment that provides base station functions in future new communication systems, etc.

[0059] The base station controller in the embodiment of the present application may also be referred to as a base station controller device, which is a device for managing base stations, such as a base station controller (BSC) in a 2G network, a radio network controller (RNC) in a 3G network, and may also refer to a device for controlling and managing base stations in future new communication systems.

[0060] The terminal in the embodiment of the present application may also be referred to as a terminal device, and may refer to various forms of terminal devices, such as user equipment (terminal), access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station (MS), remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, wireless communication device, user agent or user device. The terminal device may also be a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) phone, a Wireless Local Loop (WLL) station, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device with wireless communication function, a computing device or other processing device connected to a wireless modem, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, a terminal device in a future 5G network or a terminal device in a future evolved Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN), etc., and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0061] It should be noted that the brackets used in this specification may mean "for example". For example, control information (PDCCH) or control signal (ie, PDCCH) refers to "PDCCH" as an example of "control information". That is, the "control information" in this specification may be but is not limited to "PDCCH".

[0062] CSI-RS is a very important reference signal in the 5G NR system. Its main functions are divided into two categories: one is to assist in receiving the physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared, Channel), and the other is to measure the downlink channel quality and report CSI for the base station to perform link adaptive adjustment.

[0063] In the prior art, RRC signaling configures one or more CSI-RS sets for a terminal. Each CSI-RS set contains one or more CSI-RS resources. Each CSI-RS resource is configured with a maximum of 32 ports, which are mapped to one or more orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. High-level signaling gives a maximum of two possible symbol positions in the time domain, and the frequency domain uses a bitmap to indicate the occupancy of a subcarrier on a symbol.

[0064] In order to ensure the coverage of the cell, the base station needs to support a larger antenna array, and accordingly, the CSI-RS resource needs to support more antenna ports. In response to this demand, an embodiment of the present application provides a resource configuration method, where the base station sends configuration information, and the configuration information is used to configure the CSI-RS resources of N ports, where N>32. Accordingly, the base station receives the configuration information and determines the time-frequency position of the CSI-RS resource according to the configuration information.

[0065] like Figure 2 The figure shows a flow chart of a resource configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0066] In this embodiment, in step 21, the base station sends configuration information, where the configuration information is used to configure CSI-RS resources of N ports, where N>32.

[0067] Correspondingly, the terminal receives the configuration information, and then, in step 22, the terminal determines the time-frequency position of the CSI-RS resource according to the configuration information.

[0068] The above configuration information can be carried in a signaling message, such as including but not limited to any of the following signaling messages: Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling message, Media Access Control (MAC) control element (CE) signaling message, Downlink Control Information (DCI) signaling message, etc.

[0069] In specific implementation, multiple methods may be used to indicate the time-frequency positions of the CSI-RS resources having more than 32 ports, which are described below with examples.

[0070] Example 1:

[0071] like Figure 3 The figure shows a specific implementation example of the resource configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0072] In this example, in step 31, the base station sends configuration information for configuring CSI-RS resources of N (N>32) ports, and the configuration information includes K time domain position information, each time domain position information indicates a starting symbol mapped in the time domain to some ports in the N ports, and K>2. For example, N=64, K=4.

[0073] Correspondingly, the terminal receives the configuration information, and then, in step 32, the terminal determines the time-frequency position of the CSI-RS resource according to the configuration information.

[0074] Example 2:

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, another specific implementation example of the resource configuration method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0076] In this example, in step 41, the base station sends CSI-RS resource configuration information for configuring N (N>32) ports, the configuration information includes frequency domain position information, the frequency domain position information indicates a first subcarrier and a second subcarrier, the first subcarrier is the starting subcarrier mapped by the N port on the first physical resource block, the second subcarrier is the starting subcarrier mapped by the N port on the second physical resource block, and the first physical resource block and the second physical resource block are physical resource blocks occupied by CSI-RS resources.

[0077] It should be noted that each of the above-mentioned physical resource blocks can occupy multiple subcarriers, and the above-mentioned first physical resource block and the second physical resource block can be continuous or non-continuous physical resource blocks in the frequency domain. In addition, the CSI-RS resources of the above-mentioned N (N>32) ports can occupy multiple subcarriers, which is not limited to this embodiment of the present application.

[0078] Correspondingly, the terminal receives the configuration information, and then, in step 42, the terminal determines the time-frequency position of the CSI-RS resource according to the configuration information.

[0079] Example 3:

[0080] Figure 5 As shown, it is another specific implementation example of the resource configuration method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0081] In this example, in step 51, the base station sends CSI-RS resource configuration information for configuring N (N>32) ports, and the configuration information includes code division multiplexing information, and the code division multiplexing information indicates at least two code division multiplexing types used by the N ports to complete a CSI-RS resource mapping. The code division multiplexing type is used to indicate the number of ports and their corresponding number of subcarriers and the number of symbols mapped in the time domain.

[0082] Among them, at least two code division multiplexing types include a first code division multiplexing type and a second code division multiplexing type; the first code division multiplexing type indicates that the number of code division multiplexing ports is 16, the number of continuous subcarriers mapped in the frequency domain is 2, and the number of continuous symbols mapped in the time domain is 8; the second code division multiplexing type indicates that the number of code division multiplexing ports is 16, the number of continuous subcarriers mapped in the frequency domain is 4, and the number of continuous symbols mapped in the time domain is 4.

[0083] For example, in a non-limiting embodiment, the code division multiplexing information indicates that the N port completes a CSI-RS resource mapping using two code division multiplexing types, namely: cdm16-FD2-TD8 and cdm16-FD4-TD4.

[0084] cdm16-FD2-TD8 means that every 16 ports in the CSI-RS resource are mapped to two consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain and eight consecutive symbols in the time domain by code division multiplexing. Figure 6 shown.

[0085] cdm16-FD4-TD4 means that every 16 ports in the CSI-RS resource are mapped to 4 consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain and 4 consecutive symbols in the time domain by code division multiplexing. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, Figure 7 The 64 ports shown occupy two consecutive physical resource blocks in the frequency domain. Figure 8 The 64 ports shown occupy one physical resource block.

[0086] Correspondingly, the terminal receives the configuration information, and then, in step 52, the terminal determines the time-frequency position of the CSI-RS resource according to the configuration information.

[0087] Of course, in another non-limiting embodiment, the code division multiplexing information may indicate multiple code division multiplexing types, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0088] The above-mentioned various indication methods can be flexibly selected according to needs.

[0089] In order to further reduce resource overhead, the frequency domain density of the CSI-RS resources of the above N ports can be one or more of the following methods, but not limited to: 1 / 3, 1 / 4, 1 / 6, 1 / 8, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The frequency domain density refers to the average number of subcarriers occupied by the ports of the CSI-RS resources in each physical resource block within the bandwidth. For example, an example of the time-frequency resources occupied by 64 ports when the frequency domain density is 1 / 3 is as follows: Fig. 9 As shown, each physical resource block occupies 12 subcarriers and each port occupies 3 subcarriers.

[0090] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, the N (N>32) ports can be used as a port group, or can be divided into M port groups, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0091] In the case of grouping N ports, the configuration information includes indication information of X time domain starting positions and indication information of Y frequency domain starting positions, and the indication information of X time domain starting positions and the indication information of Y frequency domain starting positions are used to determine X×Y time-frequency starting positions, X≥1, Y≥1. Assuming that it is divided into M port groups, it needs to satisfy: X×Y≥M.

[0092] In a non-limiting embodiment, X×Y=M, and the X×Y time-frequency starting positions are the starting positions of each port group in the M port groups. Fig.10 As shown, the 64-port CSI-RS resources are divided into 8 port groups, each port group has 8 ports, and each port group occupies 2 subcarriers in the frequency domain and 4 symbols in the time domain.

[0093] In another non-limiting embodiment, X×Y>M. In this case, M time-frequency starting positions can be selected from X×Y time-frequency starting positions according to a default rule, for example, the M time-frequency starting positions are selected in the order of frequency domain first and then time domain, or the M time-frequency starting positions are selected in the order of time domain first and then frequency domain.

[0094] For the above situation where X×Y>M, in another implementation, the configuration information may further include: a selection rule, which is used to select M time-frequency starting positions from X×Y time-frequency starting positions. The selection rule may be, for example, to select M time-frequency starting positions in the order of frequency domain first and then time domain, or to select M time-frequency starting positions in the order of time domain first and then frequency domain. Fig.11 As shown, the 64-port CSI-RS resources are divided into 8 port groups.

[0095] Correspondingly, after receiving the above configuration information, the terminal selects M time-frequency starting positions from the X×Y time-frequency starting positions according to the selection rule.
