[0002] The channel state information (CSI) architecture can be divided into downlink CSI and uplink CSI, wherein the downlink CSI architecture includes a downlink physical channel and a downlink reference signal; the uplink CSI architecture includes an uplink physical channel and an uplink reference signal.

[0003] The downlink physical channel is usually used to transmit data, and the downlink reference signal is usually used to perform channel estimation to obtain downlink channel state information (CSI). The uplink physical channel is usually used to transmit uplink data, and the uplink reference signal is usually used to perform channel estimation to obtain uplink channel state information (CSI).

[0004] Usually, the terminal can determine the CSI report through high-level signaling or default rules. For example, the network side device associates a reference signal resource configuration (CSI-ResourceConfig) for channel measurement, a reference signal resource configuration for CSI interference measurement (CSI Intereference Measurement, CSI-IM), or a reference signal resource configuration for a non-zero power CSI reference signal (Non-Zero Power CSI-RS) resource for each CSI report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig). The terminal obtains the corresponding channel information by measuring the reference resources associated with these resource configurations, thereby obtaining the corresponding CSI information according to the codebook configuration information and CSI report content associated with the CSI report configuration, and provides feedback based on the uplink channel.

[0005] However, in the related art, for the coordinated transmission between multiple transmission reception points (TRPs), the coherent joint transmission (CJT) CSI obtained by the terminal can feedback a delay offset between two TRPs with a limited range, and the performance of the CSI obtained by the terminal cannot be guaranteed, or the feedback performance of the delay information between multiple TRPs cannot be guaranteed.

[0050] In order to better understand the technical solution provided by this application, the technology involved in this application is first introduced.

[0051] 1. CSI Architecture

[0052] Generally, the CSI architecture can be divided into two parts: downlink CSI and uplink CSI. Downlink CSI architecture: includes downlink physical channels and downlink reference signals; uplink CSI architecture: includes uplink physical channels and uplink reference signals.

[0053] The downlink physical channel is usually used to transmit data, and the downlink reference signal is usually used to perform channel estimation to obtain downlink channel state information (CSI). The uplink physical channel is usually used to transmit uplink data, and the uplink reference signal is usually used to perform channel estimation to obtain uplink channel state information (CSI).

[0054] In 5G systems, CSI is mainly used in Adaptive Beamforming and MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technologies to improve wireless transmission bandwidth and reliability.

[0055] In general, the 5G CSI architecture is a very important technology in the 5G communication system, and plays an important role in improving wireless transmission bandwidth and reliability and interference coordination.

[0056] 2. Contents of CSI Report

[0057] Typically, the terminal may determine through higher-layer signaling or default rules that a CSI report may include one of: 'none', 'cri-ri-pmi-cqi', 'cri-RI-i1', 'cri-RI-CQI', 'cri-RSRP', 'cri-SINR', 'ssb-Index-RSRP', 'ssb-Index-SINR' or 'cri-RI-LI-PMI-CQI'.

[0058] If the terminal is configured with CSI-ReportConfig and the upper layer parameter reportQuantity is set to "none", the terminal will not report anything for CSI-ReportConfig.

[0059] 3. CSI acquisition

[0060] The network associates a reference signal resource configuration (CSI-ResourceConfig) for channel measurement, a reference signal resource configuration for interference measurement associated with a CSI-IM (CSI interference measurement) resource, and or a reference signal resource configuration for interference measurement associated with an NZP-CSI RS (non-zero power CSI-RS) resource for each CSI report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig). The terminal obtains the corresponding channel information by measuring the reference resources associated with these resource configurations. Currently, the corresponding channel information can usually be considered as baseband digital precoding matrix information and baseband modulation mode recommendation information. Further, according to the codebook configuration information and report content associated with the CSI report configuration, the corresponding CSI information is obtained, and based on the uplink channel feedback.

[0061] For the feedback of the precoding matrix indicator (PMI) in the CSI information, if the Rel-15 Type1 codebook configuration is used, the terminal measures up to 8 channel measurement reference signals and selects one of the reference signals to feedback the PMI. If the Rel-15 Type2 / Rel-16 Type2 / Rel-17 codebook is used, the terminal measures 1 channel measurement reference signal and feedbacks the PMI associated with the reference signal. If the Rel-18 Type2 coherent joint transmission (CJT) codebook is used, the terminal measures up to 4 channel measurement reference signals, assumes that the 4 reference signals are associated with 4 TRPs, and uses the channels associated with the 4 reference signals to obtain and feedback the PMI. If it is Rel-18 Type2 prediction codebook, for periodic / semi-continuous channel measurement reference signals, the network side device configures 1 reference signal, and the terminal uses multiple transmission times of one reference signal to obtain the predicted PMI. For non-periodic channel measurement reference signals, the network side device configures up to 12 reference signals. The 12 reference signals are sent at a certain interval in time, and the terminal uses one transmission time of the 12 reference signals to obtain the predicted PMI.

[0062] If CJT CSI is obtained, the delay offset between the two TRPs that the terminal can feedback is generally 1 / B*N3, where B is the CSI reference signal bandwidth and N3 is the number of PMI subbands. This means that if the delay offset between the two TRPs exceeds this range, the performance of the PMI obtained by the terminal will deteriorate.

[0063] In addition, in the LTE system, since the Cell Reference Signal (CRS) is sent in every subframe, CRS can be used to achieve high-precision time-frequency tracking. However, in NR, this "always-on" reference signal is cancelled, and the reference signal for time-frequency tracking is flexibly configured according to the needs of the UE. This newly defined reference signal is called the Tracking Reference Signal (TRS). Usually all Channel State Information Reference Signals (CSI-RS) for tracking can be called TRS, so in a sense, TRS can also be said to be a type of CSI-RS.

[0064] In the design of NR, TRS exists as a special CSI-RS. CSI-RS has flexible configuration and can flexibly increase the time-frequency density of the reference signal. When CSI-RS is sent in the form of a single port, it is TRS mode. TRS is mainly used for timing estimation, delay spread estimation, frequency offset estimation and Doppler spread estimation. Timing estimation and frequency offset estimation can be used to complete the synchronization of the transmitter and the receiver. The results of delay spread estimation and Doppler spread estimation are important parameters for channel estimation and can be used to assist the demodulation reference signal (DMRS) to complete more accurate channel estimation.

[0065] For TRS deployed on FR1 (low frequency), a UE can configure one or more TRS resource sets. Each TRS resource set contains 4 TRS resources, which exist in two consecutive time slots, and there are 2 TRS resources in each time slot; for TRS deployed on FR2 (high frequency), a UE can also configure one or more TRS resource sets. Among them, the TRS resources contained in a TRS resource set can only exist in one time slot, in which case there are only 2 TRS resources; and a TRS resource set can also contain 4 TRS resources, which are distributed in pairs in two consecutive time slots.

[0066] Therefore, in the related art, the range of delay information between multiple CSI-RS that can be processed by CJT CSI is limited, and it cannot handle the situation where the delay between TRPs is large. One solution is for the terminal to provide delay feedback between CJT TRPs. Therefore, how to provide delay feedback between CJT TRPs is a technical problem that needs to be solved in the related art. In addition, if there is delay feedback between CJT TRPs, the delay information associated with CJT CSI overlaps. Therefore, how to provide CSI feedback in the case of delay feedback between CJT TRPs is also a technical problem that needs to be solved in the related art.

[0067] In response to the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a feedback solution for channel state information and a feedback solution for delay information.

[0068] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through some embodiments and their application scenarios in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0069] Figure 2 A schematic flow chart of a method for feeding back channel state information in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method 200 can be executed by a terminal. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the terminal. Figure 2 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0070] S210: The terminal determines at least one target delay feedback associated with the target MTRP CSI to be acquired.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, one target MTRP CSI acquisition is associated with at least one target delay feedback, that is, when the terminal acquires the MTRP CSI, it needs to refer to the delay of at least one delay feedback associated with the MTRP CSI.

[0072] Optionally, part or all of the methods of the embodiments of the present application may also be used to associate a target MTRP CSI acquisition with at least one target frequency shift feedback, that is, when the terminal acquires MTRP CSI, it may refer to the frequency shift of at least one frequency shift feedback associated with the MTRP CSI.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, the multi-TRP may be a TRP that performs CJT, and therefore, the MTRP CSI may also be referred to as CJTCSI.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the MTRP CSI is CSI obtained through multiple reference signals. In an actual system, the present application can also be used for the MTRP CSI to be CSI obtained through multiple reference signal port groups.

[0075] S212: The terminal obtains and feeds back the target MTRP CSI based on the at least one target delay feedback.

[0076] For MTRP CSI acquisition, especially CJT CSI acquired and fed back by the terminal based on multiple CSI-RS, the terminal can obtain the delay information between multiple CSI-RS based on each CSI-RS and its associated quasi-co-location information, and the delay information may include: at least one of the air interface propagation delay and the synchronization delay between multiple TRPs, wherein the multiple TRPs are associated with the multiple CSI-RSs.

[0077] Optionally, for MTRP CSI acquisition, especially CJTCSI acquired and fed back by the terminal based on multiple CSI-RS port groups, the terminal can obtain the delay information between multiple CSI-RS port groups based on each CSI-RS port group and its associated quasi-co-location information, and the delay information may include: at least one of the air interface propagation delay and the synchronization delay between multiple TRPs, wherein the multiple TRPs are associated with the multiple CSI-RS port groups, and each CSI-RS port group is associated with at least one CSI-RS port. The multiple CSI-RS port groups are not limited to being obtained according to network high-level signaling or determined by the terminal.

[0078] In particular, if the terminal has fed back delay feedback to the network at least once before the CJT CSI is obtained and fed back, the network side device obtains all or part of the delay information between the multiple CSI-RS. At this time, the terminal can eliminate part of the delay information that has been fed back when obtaining the delay information between the multiple CSI-RS, or the terminal can eliminate the influence of the delay information that has been fed back when obtaining the CJT CSI associated with the multiple CSI-RS, that is, the delay information reflected in the CJTCSI does not include the feedback delay information. In this way, the applicable delay range of the CJT CSI fed back by the terminal can be improved, and it can also help the network side device to obtain more accurate delay information. Thereby effectively improving the transmission efficiency and the user's experience rate. Furthermore, in this way, repeated feedback in the delay feedback associated with the MTRP CSI can be avoided, saving feedback overhead.

[0079] In summary, one target MTRP CSI acquisition is associated with at least one target delay feedback, that is, when the target MTRP CSI is acquired, it is necessary to refer to the delay situation of at least one target delay feedback associated with the target MTRP CSI.

[0080] An optional method is: a target MTRP CSI acquisition is associated with a target delay feedback, and the delay information between TRPs that the target MTRP CSI acquisition needs to refer to can be obtained through the target delay feedback. In other words, when the target delay feedback is given, the terminal at least feeds back the delay information required for the target MTRP CSI acquisition.

[0081] Another optional method is: a target MTRP CSI acquisition is associated with a target delay feedback, and the delay information between the partial TRPs that the target MTRP CSI acquisition needs to refer to can be obtained through the target delay feedback. In other words, when the target delay feedback is given, the terminal feeds back the partial delay information required for the target MTRP CSI acquisition.

[0082] Another optional method is: one MTRP CSI acquisition is associated with multiple target delay feedbacks, and the delay information between TRPs that the MTRP CSI acquisition needs to refer to can be obtained through the multiple target delay feedbacks. In other words, during one of the at least one target delay feedbacks, the terminal only feeds back part of the delay information required for MTRP CSI acquisition. For example: the network side device triggers the terminal to complete two delay feedbacks. The first delay feedback feeds back the delay information between TRP1, TRP2, and TRP3. The second delay feedback feeds back the delay information between TRP3 and TRP4. Subsequently, the network side device triggers a CJT CSI report. The CJT CSI report is associated with three CSI-RSs, respectively associated with TRP1, TRP2, and TRP4. When the CJT CSI is acquired, it can refer to the two delay feedbacks, and the terminal obtains the delay information between TRP1, TRP2, and TRP4.

[0083] In an optional implementation, the terminal determines that the at least one target delay feedback associated with the target MTRP CSI to be acquired may include: when a first CSI report configuration is associated with multiple CSI reference signals CSI-RS, the multiple CSI-RS are used to acquire the target MTRP CSI, and the multiple CSI-RS have a first association relationship with the at least one target delay feedback, determining that the target MTRP CSI is associated with the at least one target delay feedback. In this optional implementation, if there is a first CSI report configuration associated with multiple CSI-RS and used to acquire the target MTRP CSI, and the multiple CSI-RS have a first association relationship with at least one target delay feedback, the acquired target MTRP CSI is associated with the at least one target delay feedback, for example, the acquired target MTRP CSI does not include the delay fed back by the terminal during the at least one target delay feedback.

[0084] Optionally, the first association relationship is usually established through high-layer signaling, and the first association relationship may include one of the following:

[0085] 1. A first TRS set is associated with a plurality of CSI-RS associated CSI-RS sets, and the first TRS set is associated with the target delay feedback once.

[0086] For example, an indication information is associated in the CSI-RS set configuration signaling associated with the target MTRP CSI, and a first TRS set can be associated through the indication information. Further, the terminal is associated with a target delay feedback according to the first TRS set. Optionally, the indication information includes a TRS set ID. Optionally, the first TRS set is associated with a CSI report configuration (for reporting delay information), and the TRS set is the TRS set associated with the CSI report configuration;

[0087] 2. Multiple second TRS sets are associated with multiple CSI-RS-associated CSI-RS sets, and the multiple second TRS sets are associated with one target delay feedback.

[0088] For example, an indication information is associated in the CSI-RS set configuration signaling associated with the target MTRP CSI, and multiple second TRS sets can be associated with the indication information. Further, the terminal is associated with a delay feedback according to the multiple second TRS sets. Optionally, the indication information includes multiple TRS set IDs or multiple TRS IDs. Optionally, the multiple TRS sets are associated with a CSI report configuration (report delay information), and the multiple TRS sets are TRS sets associated with the CSI report configuration.

[0089] 3. Multiple second TRS sets are associated with multiple CSI-RS-associated CSI-RS sets, and the multiple second TRS sets are associated with multiple target delay feedbacks.

[0090] For example, an indication information is associated in the CSI-RS set configuration signaling associated with the target MTRP CSI, through which multiple second TRS sets can be associated, and further, the terminal is associated with multiple delay feedbacks according to the multiple second TRS sets. Optionally, the indication information includes multiple TRS set IDs or multiple TRS IDs. Optionally, the multiple second TRS sets are associated with multiple CSI report configurations (report delay information), and the multiple TRS sets are TRS sets associated with the multiple CSI report configurations;

[0091] 4. At least one CSI report configuration is associated with a CSI-RS set associated with multiple CSI-RSs, and the at least one first CSI report configuration is associated with at least one target delay feedback.

[0092] For example, the CSI-RS set configuration signaling associated with the target MTRP CSI is associated with an indication information, through which at least one CSI report configuration can be associated, and further, the terminal is associated with at least one delay feedback according to the at least one CSI report configuration. Optionally, the indication information includes multiple CSI report configuration IDs.

[0093] 5. Each CSI-RS in the multiple CSI-RS associations is associated with a TRS or a TRS set, and the multiple TRSs or TRS sets associated with the multiple CSI-RSs are associated with at least one target delay feedback.

[0094] For example, the target MTRP CSI multiple CSI-RS configuration signaling, wherein each CSI-RS configuration signaling is associated with an indication information, through which it can be associated with a TRS set or a TRS, and further, the terminal is associated with at least one delay feedback according to the multiple TRS sets or multiple TRSs. Optionally, the indication information includes multiple TRS set IDs or multiple TRS IDs. Optionally, the multiple TRS sets or multiple TRSs are associated with at least one CSI report configuration (report delay information).

[0095] 6. Each CSI-RS in the multiple CSI-RS associations is associated with a physical cell identifier (Physical Cell Identifier or Physical-layer Cell Identity, PCI), and the multiple PCIs associated with the multiple CSI-RS associations are associated with at least one target delay feedback.

[0096] For example, the target MTRP CSI has multiple CSI-RS configuration signalings, where each CSI-RS configuration signaling is associated with one PCI indication information. Through multiple PCI indication information, the terminal can be associated with at least one TRS set or at least one CSI report configuration (CSI report configuration for reporting delay information). Further, the terminal is associated with at least one delay feedback according to the at least one TRS set or at least one CSI report configuration.

[0097] In another optional implementation, the terminal determines the associated at least one target delay feedback through the second CSI report configuration associated with the MTRP CSI. For example, if there is a second CSI report configuration for obtaining the target MTRP CSI, and the CSI report configuration has a second association relationship with the at least one target delay feedback, the acquired MTRPCSI does not include the delay fed back by the terminal during the at least one target delay feedback.

[0098] Optionally, the second association relationship may be established through high-layer signaling.

[0099] Optionally, the second association relationship may include one of the following:

[0100] (1) The second CSI reporting configuration is associated with at least one CSI reporting configuration, and the at least one CSI reporting configuration is associated with the at least one target delay feedback.

[0101] For example, an indication information is associated with the second CSI reporting configuration associated with the target MTRP CSI. Through the indication information, the terminal can be associated with at least one CSI reporting configuration (CSI reporting configuration for reporting delay information). Further, the terminal can be associated with at least one target delay feedback according to the at least one CSI reporting configuration.

[0102] (2) The second CSI reporting configuration is associated with at least one PCI, and the at least one PCI is associated with the at least one target delay feedback.

[0103] For example, an indication information is associated with the second CSI report configuration associated with the target MTRP CSI, and the terminal obtains at least one PCI through the indication information. The terminal can be associated with at least one CSI report configuration (CSI report configuration for reporting delay information) through the PCI. Further, the terminal is associated with at least one delay feedback according to the at least one CSI report configuration.

[0104] In an optional implementation, for MTRP CSI acquisition, the terminal may need to consider the frequency shift information between multiple CSI-RS or multiple TRPs, and the frequency shift information may be determined using the above method for determining delay information. The frequency shift information may include: at least one of the frequency shift offset between multiple TRPs and the frequency shift of multiple TRPs. That is, the terminal determines that the at least one target frequency shift feedback associated with the target MTRP CSI to be acquired may include: when a first CSI report configuration is associated with multiple CSI reference signals CSI-RS, the multiple CSI-RS are used to acquire the target MTRP CSI, and the multiple CSI-RS have a first association relationship with the at least one target frequency shift feedback, determine that the target MTRP CSI is associated with the at least one target frequency shift feedback. Alternatively, the terminal determines the associated at least one target frequency shift feedback through a second CSI report configuration associated with the MTRP CSI, and when the CSI report configuration has a second association relationship with the at least one target frequency shift feedback.

[0105] In a possible implementation, when acquiring the target MTRP CSI, the terminal may acquire a target PMI in the target MTRP CSI based on the at least one target delay feedback, and the target PMI may satisfy one of the following:

[0106] (1) The target PMI does not include a delay indication between multiple reference signals.

[0107] Among them, multiple reference signals can be associated with multiple TRPs, and the target PMI does not include the delay indication between multiple TRPs.

[0108] For example, if there is a CSI report setting associated with multiple CSI-RSs and used to obtain the target CJT CSI, and the multiple CSI-RSs have a first association relationship with the at least one target delay feedback, or the CSI report setting has a second association relationship with the at least one delay feedback, the CJT PMI associated with the target CJT CSI does not include a delay indication between TRPs (i 1,9 For example, if the high-level signaling codebookMode is configured as 'mode1', the CJT PMI does not include or is not associated with at least one CSI-RS-associated delay offset or frequency domain basis vector offset or offset i selected by the terminal. 1,9 For another example, when the first association relationship or the second association relationship exists, the terminal does not support the high-layer signaling codebookMode being configured as 'mode1', and only supports the high-layer signaling codebookMode being configured as 'mode2'.

[0109] (2) The target PMI includes delay indications of some reference signals among multiple reference signals.

[0110] For example, the CJT PMI associated with the target CJT CSI includes a delay indication between some TRPs (i 1,9 ), the partial TRP is the partial TRP that is not associated with any delay feedback. For example, there is a CSI report setting associated with 4 CSI-RSs associated with TRP1 / 2 / 3 / 4 respectively. According to the association relationship between the CSI report setting and the delay feedback, the terminal is associated with the delay information between TRP1 / 2 / 3 previously fed back. At this time, if the delay indication (i 1,9 ) is not associated with TRP4, and the terminal needs to feedback the delay indication associated with TRP4 (i 1,9 ), at this time, the delay indication is only associated with one offset. If the reference CSI-RS is associated with TRP4, the terminal needs to feedback the delay indication associated with TRP1 or 2 or 3 (i 1,9 ) or TRP4 associated delay indication (i 1,9 ), in which case the delay indication is associated with only one offset.

[0111] (3) The target PMI includes a delay indication associated with a first reference signal among the multiple reference signals, wherein the first reference signal is not associated with any delay feedback, and the first reference signal is a partial reference signal among the multiple reference signals.

[0112] (4) The target PMI includes a delay indication of a second reference signal among the multiple reference signals, wherein the time interval from the most recent delay feedback associated with the second reference signal to the first time is greater than a specific value, wherein the first time may include one of the following: the feedback time of the MTRP CSI, the time corresponding to the CSI reference resource associated with the MTRP CSI, and the CSI reference time slot associated with the MTRP CSI; the specific value is a value agreed upon by the protocol, a value indicated by the network, or a value fed back by the terminal; and the second reference signal is a part of the multiple reference signals.

[0113] The CSI reference resource (CSI reference resource) or CSI reference time slot (CSI reference slot) may be one of the following indicated by a network side device or agreed upon by a protocol: a downlink time slot, an uplink time slot, a downlink symbol, an uplink symbol, or a time.

[0114] (5) The indication ranges associated with the delay indications of the respective reference signals in the multiple reference signals included in the target PMI are not completely the same.

[0115] For example, when some reference signals are not associated with any delay feedback, the indication range of the delay indication associated with these reference signals is larger; when some reference signals are associated with delay feedback, the indication range of the delay indication associated with these reference signals is smaller. In this way, the overhead of the delay indication can be reduced.

[0116] For another example, when the feedback time of the delay feedback associated with some reference signals exceeds a certain threshold (i.e., too long) or is too far away from the MTRP CSI report, the indication range of the delay indication associated with these reference signals is larger, and the indication range of the delay indication associated with the remaining reference signals is smaller. In this way, the overhead of the delay indication can be reduced.

[0117] (6) The target PMI does not include a delay indication of a third reference signal among the multiple reference signals, wherein the most recent delay feedback associated with the third reference signal is located after a second time, wherein the second time may include one of the following: a time corresponding to a CSI reference resource associated with the MTRP CSI, a CSI reference time slot associated with the MTRP CSI, and the third reference signal is a part of the multiple reference signals. The CSI reference resource (CSI reference resource) or CSI reference time slot (CSI reference slot) may be one of the following indicated by a network side device or agreed upon by a protocol: a downlink time slot, an uplink time slot, a downlink symbol, an uplink symbol, or a moment.

[0118] In an optional implementation, the terminal acquiring the target MTRP CSI based on the at least one target delay feedback may include:

[0119] The terminal acquires the target MTRP CSI based on the at least one target delay feedback, wherein the acquired target MTRP CSI does not include or is not associated with the delay fed back by the terminal in the at least one target delay feedback; wherein the at least one target delay feedback includes at least one of the following:

[0120] First delay feedback, the first delay feedback includes: at least one most recent delay feedback before a third time;

[0121] The second delay feedback includes: at least one delay feedback associated with a specific reference signal received most recently before a third time, and the specific reference signal is a reference signal used to obtain at least one delay feedback.

[0122] The third time includes one of the following: the time corresponding to the CSI reference resource associated with the target MTRP CSI, and the CSI reference time slot associated with the target MTRP CSI. For example, the third time may be one of the following: the time corresponding to the CSI reference resource associated with the first CSI report configuration, the CSI reference time slot associated with the first CSI report configuration, the time corresponding to the CSI reference resource associated with the second CSI report configuration, and the CSI reference time slot associated with the second CSI report configuration.

[0123] The above optional implementation method can also be used for the terminal to obtain the target MTRP CSI based on the at least one target frequency shift feedback. That is, the terminal obtains the target MTRP CSI based on the at least one target frequency shift feedback, wherein the obtained target MTRP CSI needs to refer to the frequency shift or frequency shift offset fed back by the terminal in the at least one target frequency shift feedback; wherein the at least one target frequency shift feedback includes at least one of the following:

[0124] first frequency shift feedback, the first frequency shift feedback comprising: at least one most recent frequency shift feedback before a third time;

[0125] The second frequency shift feedback includes: at least one frequency shift feedback associated with a specific reference signal received most recently before a third time, and the specific reference signal is a reference signal used to obtain at least one frequency shift feedback.

[0126] The third time includes one of the following: the time corresponding to the CSI reference resource associated with the target MTRP CSI, and the CSI reference time slot associated with the target MTRP CSI. For example, the third time may be one of the following: the time corresponding to the CSI reference resource associated with the first CSI report configuration, the CSI reference time slot associated with the first CSI report configuration, the time corresponding to the CSI reference resource associated with the second CSI report configuration, and the CSI reference time slot associated with the second CSI report configuration.

[0127] In an optional implementation, before S210, the method may further include one of the following steps:

[0128] Step a, the terminal acquires and feeds back delay information based on at least one first reference signal set configured by the network side device;

[0129] The at least one first reference signal set is associated with multiple TRPs. For example, the network side configures N reference signal sets (N is greater than or equal to 1), and the terminal obtains and feeds back delay information based on the N reference signal sets.

[0130] Step b, the terminal obtains and feeds back delay information based on multiple first reference signal sets and first indications configured by the network side device, wherein the first indication is used to indicate a target reference signal set in the multiple first reference signal sets for obtaining delay information.

[0131] The multiple first reference signal sets are associated with multiple TRPs. For example, the network side device configures N reference signal sets (N is greater than 1) and a first indication, and the first indication is used to indicate the reference signal set associated with the delay information acquired and fed back by the terminal.

[0132] In step c, the terminal obtains and feeds back delay information based on a first reference signal set and a second indication configured by a network side device, wherein the second indication is used to indicate a target reference signal in the first reference signal set for obtaining delay information.

[0133] For example, the network side device configures one reference signal set and a second indication, where the second indication is used to indicate a reference signal associated with delay information acquired and fed back by the terminal.

[0134] Step a, step b and step c in the above optional implementation manner may also be used for the terminal to obtain and feed back frequency shift information. For example, the terminal obtains and feeds back frequency shift information based on at least one first reference signal set configured by the network side device.

[0135] In an optional implementation, when the at least one first reference signal set includes multiple first reference signal sets, the multiple reference signal sets may satisfy at least one of the following:

[0136] (1) The PCIs associated with the multiple first reference signal sets are not completely the same; that is, the PCIs associated with each of the multiple first reference signal sets may be different.

[0137] (2) The plurality of first reference signal sets are sent in consecutive time slots. That is, the reference signals in the plurality of first reference signal sets are sent in consecutive time slots. Optionally, the consecutive time slots may be consecutive downlink time slots.

[0138] In an optional implementation, when the at least one first reference signal set includes multiple first reference signal sets, the method may further include: the terminal feeds back first capability information to the network side device, wherein the first capability information is used to indicate at least one of the following: whether the terminal supports multiple reference signal sets associated with the same time slot transmission, whether the terminal supports multiple reference signal sets associated with the same symbol transmission, the first time slot interval supported by the terminal, and the first symbol interval supported by the terminal, wherein the first time slot interval is the time slot interval between two reference signal sets in the multiple reference signal sets, the first symbol interval is the symbol interval between two reference signal sets in the multiple reference signal sets, and the two reference signal sets include one of the following: two adjacent reference signal sets in the multiple reference signal sets, and two reference signal sets with the farthest intervals in the multiple reference signal sets.

[0139] For example, reference signal set 1 is associated with a time slot offset 1, reference signal set 2 is associated with a time slot offset 2, reference signal set 3 is associated with a time slot offset 3, and time slot offset 1 < time slot offset 2 < time slot offset 3. At this time, the value of time slot offset 2 - time slot offset 1 is not greater than the first time slot interval, and the value of time slot offset 3 - time slot offset 2 is not greater than the first time slot interval.

[0140] For another example, reference signal set 1 is associated with a time slot offset 1, reference signal set 2 is associated with a time slot offset 2, reference signal set 3 is associated with a time slot offset 3, and time slot offset 1 < time slot offset 2 < time slot offset 3, then at this time, the value of time slot offset 3 - time slot offset 1 is not greater than the first time slot interval.

[0141] In an optional implementation, when the at least one first reference signal set includes one first reference signal set, all reference signals in the one first reference signal set satisfy at least one of the following:

[0142] (1) The PCIs associated with all the reference signals are not completely the same; that is, the PCIs associated with the reference signals in the first reference signal set may be different.

[0143] (2) The power control offsets associated with all the reference signals are not completely the same. For example, the powerControlOffsetSS or powerControlOffset associated with each reference signal in the first reference signal set may be different.

[0144] In an optional implementation, when the at least one first reference signal set includes a first reference signal set, a reference signal in the first reference signal set is allowed to be used as a delay-related quasi-co-site reference signal. For example, the network-side device configures the terminal to obtain the delay of multiple reference signals based on multiple reference signals in a reference signal set (TRS set), then the multiple reference signals can be used as quasi-co-site reference signals of other signals (CSI-RS, DMRS, PDSCH), and the parameters associated with the quasi-co-site type are delay-related parameters.

[0145] Optionally, a reference signal in the first reference signal set is not allowed to be used as a Doppler-related quasi-co-site reference signal.

[0146] Optionally, a reference signal in the first reference signal set is not associated with a second reference signal set, wherein the reference signals in the second reference signal set are used to provide Doppler-related quasi-co-location information. In other words, a reference signal in the first reference signal set cannot be associated with other reference signal sets, and reference signals in the other reference signal sets can be used to provide Doppler-related quasi-co-location information (average delay and / or delayspread).

[0147] In an optional implementation, when the at least one first reference signal set includes one first reference signal set, the method further includes:

[0148] The terminal feeds back second capability information to the network side device, wherein the second capability information is used to indicate at least one of the following: whether the terminal supports sending multiple reference signals associated with the same time slot, whether the terminal supports sending multiple reference signals associated with the same symbol, the second time slot interval supported by the terminal, and the second symbol interval supported by the terminal, wherein the second time slot interval is the time slot interval between two reference signals among the multiple reference signals, the second symbol interval is the symbol interval between two reference signals among the multiple reference signals, and the two reference signals include one of the following: two adjacent reference signals among the multiple reference signals, and two reference signals with the farthest interval among the multiple reference signals.

[0149] For example, reference signal 1 is associated with a time slot offset 1, reference signal 2 is associated with a time slot offset 2, reference signal 3 is associated with a time slot offset 3, and time slot offset 1 < time slot offset 2 < time slot offset 3. At this time, the value of time slot offset 2 - time slot offset 1 is not greater than the second time slot interval, and the value of time slot offset 3 - time slot offset 2 is not greater than the second time slot interval.

[0150] For another example, reference signal 1 is associated with a time slot offset 1, reference signal 2 is associated with a time slot offset 2, reference signal 3 is associated with a time slot offset 3, and time slot offset 1 < time slot offset 2 < time slot offset 3, then at this time, the value of time slot offset 3 - time slot offset 1 is not greater than the second time slot interval.

[0151] Through the above technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, by establishing the association relationship between MTRP CSI and delay feedback, the delay range applicable to MTRP CSI fed back by the terminal can be improved, and the network side device can also be helped to obtain more accurate delay information, thereby effectively improving the transmission efficiency and the user's experience rate.

[0152] Figure 3Another flow chart of the method for feeding back channel state information in the embodiment of the present application is shown. The method 300 can be executed by a terminal. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the terminal. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0153] S310: The terminal determines a target delay indication associated with a target MTRP CSI to be acquired, wherein the target delay indication is associated with at least one target delay adjustment value.

[0154] In an embodiment of the present application, the target delay indication may be sent by a network-side device, and the target delay indication is associated with at least one delay adjustment value, and the terminal may obtain the target MTRP CSI based on the delay adjustment value.

[0155] S312: The terminal obtains and feeds back the target MTRP CSI based on the target delay indication.

[0156] For example, the network side device indicates to the terminal through signaling (not limited to DCI or MAC CE or RRC signaling) multiple delay adjustment values ​​that need to be considered or adjusted when calculating the current MTRP CSI. The number of delay adjustment values ​​can be equal to the number of CSI-RS associated with the MTRP CSI minus 1, where one CSI-RS is a reference CSI-RS. For the delay associated with the CSI-RS other than the reference CSI-RS, the terminal subtracts the corresponding adjustment value to further obtain the MTRP CSI.

[0157] The reference CSI-RS may be the first of multiple CSI-RSs configured by the network, or the CSI-RS with the smallest associated delay, or a CSI-RS indicated by the network, or a CSI-RS indicated by the terminal.

[0158] The correspondence between the CSI-RS and the delay may be performed according to the configuration order of the CSI-RS after excluding the reference CSI-RS, that is, the CSI-RS of the first non-reference CSI-RS is associated with the first adjustment value, the CSI-RS of the second non-reference CSI-RS is associated with the second adjustment value, and so on.

[0159] The method of the embodiment of the present application can also be used by a terminal to determine a target frequency shift indication associated with a target MTRP CSI to be acquired, wherein the target frequency shift indication is associated with at least one target frequency shift value. Based on the target frequency shift indication, the terminal acquires and feeds back the target MTRP CSI.

[0160] For example, the network side device indicates to the terminal through signaling (not limited to DCI or MAC CE or RRC signaling) multiple frequency shift values ​​that need to be considered or adjusted when calculating the current MTRP CSI. When the terminal obtains the MTRP CSI, pre-compensation is performed based on the multiple frequency shift values ​​to further obtain the MTRP CSI. The correspondence between the CSI-RS and the frequency shift can be based on the configuration order of the CSI-RS, that is, the first CSI-RS is associated with the first frequency shift value, the second CSI-RS is associated with the second frequency shift value, and so on.

[0161] Through the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal obtains and feeds back the target MTRP CSI by obtaining the target delay indication, so that the delay range or size associated with the delay information associated with the MTRP CSI fed back by the terminal can be flexibly adjusted. Flexibility is improved. In addition, if the technical solution is used for the terminal to obtain and feed back the target MTRP CSI by obtaining the target frequency shift indication, flexibility can be improved at the same time.

[0162] In an optional implementation, the terminal determines that the target delay indication associated with the target MTRP CSI to be acquired may include at least one of the following:

[0163] (1) The terminal obtains a first delay indication, where the first delay indication is used to indicate a group of delay adjustment values ​​associated with a target CSI reporting configuration, where the target CSI reporting configuration is a CSI reporting configuration associated with the target MTRP CSI.

[0164] Optionally, before S310, the method may further include: the terminal acquiring multiple groups of delay adjustment values, wherein each group of target delay adjustment values ​​is associated with a CSI report configuration.

[0165] For example, the network side device notifies the terminal of multiple groups of delay adjustment values ​​through high-layer signaling or MAC-CE, and then sends a first delay indication for indicating one group of delay adjustment values, and the CSI report setting associated with the MTRP CSI is associated with one group of delay adjustment values.

[0166] (2) The terminal obtains a second delay indication, where the second delay indication is used to indicate at least one delay adjustment value associated with a target CSI reporting configuration, and the target CSI reporting configuration is a CSI reporting configuration associated with the target MTRP CSI.

[0167] Optionally, before S310, the method may further include: the terminal acquiring multiple delay adjustment values, wherein each delay adjustment value is associated with a CSI report configuration.

[0168] For example, the network side device notifies the terminal of multiple delay adjustment values ​​through high-layer signaling or MAC-CE, and the CSI report configuration associated with the MTRPCSI is associated with at least one of the delay adjustment values, wherein each associated delay adjustment value comes from multiple delay adjustment values ​​notified by the network.

[0169] The target delay indication includes at least one of the following: the first delay indication and the second delay indication.

[0170] In an optional implementation, in S312, the terminal obtaining the target MTRP CSI based on the target delay indication may include: the terminal obtaining the target MTRP CSI based on the target delay indication, wherein the delay value in the obtained target MTRP CSI is the difference between the target delay associated with at least one reference signal and the at least one target delay adjustment value.

[0171] In the above implementation, for an MTRP CSI acquisition, the delay indication associated with the MTRP CSI can be referred to, and the delay indication can be indicated by the network. Further, in order to improve flexibility in the future, the network can pre-indicate multiple groups of delay adjustment values ​​or multiple delay adjustment values. The network selects or activates at least one group of delay adjustment values ​​or at least one delay adjustment value through signaling. Furthermore, based on the selected or activated at least one group of delay adjustment values ​​or at least one delay adjustment value, the network can associate at least one group of delay adjustment values ​​or at least one delay adjustment value for the MTRP CSI. Through the selection or activation process, the network can flexibly control the delay indication associated with the MTRP CSI.

[0172] If there is a process for obtaining a frequency shift indication, the network side device may indicate multiple groups of frequency shift values ​​or multiple frequency shift values ​​in advance. The network side device selects or activates at least one group of frequency shift values ​​or at least one frequency shift value through signaling. Through the selection or activation process, the network side device can flexibly control the frequency shift associated with the MTRP CSI.

[0173] An optional manner: the network notifies the terminal of multiple groups of delay adjustment values ​​through high-level signaling or MAC-CE, and when the network triggers or activates the CSI report setting associated with the MTRP CSI, the network associates or indicates one of the groups of delay adjustment values ​​for the CSI report setting through signaling. The group of delay adjustment values ​​includes at least one delay adjustment value, and the terminal obtains the MTRP CSI based on the delay adjustment value;

[0174] Another optional method: the network notifies the terminal of multiple delay adjustment values ​​through high-level signaling or MAC-CE, and when the network triggers or activates the CSI report setting associated with the MTRP CSI, the network associates or indicates at least one of the delay adjustment values ​​for the CSI report setting through signaling. The terminal obtains the MTRP CSI based on the delay adjustment value.

[0175] By adopting the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the network side device indicates the delay adjustment value to the terminal, so that the network side device can flexibly adjust the delay range or size associated with the delay information associated with the MTRP CSI fed back by the terminal, thereby improving the flexibility of the network side device.

[0176] Figure 4 A flow chart of a method for feeding back delay information in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The method 400 can be executed by a terminal. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the terminal. Figure 4 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0177] S410, the terminal obtains the delay information between multiple TRPs based on the configuration of the network side device.

[0178] The configuration of the network side device includes one of the following:

[0179] (1) at least one reference signal set, wherein the at least one first reference signal set is associated with a plurality of TRPs;

[0180] (2) multiple first reference signal sets and a first indication, wherein the first indication is used to indicate a target reference signal set for obtaining delay information among the multiple first reference signal sets, and the multiple first reference signal sets are associated with multiple TRPs;

[0181] (3) A first reference signal set and a second indication, wherein the second indication is used to indicate a target reference signal in the first reference signal set for obtaining delay information, and the first reference signal set is associated with multiple TRPs.

[0182] S412, the terminal feeds back the delay information between multiple TRPs obtained to the network side device.

[0183] Through the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can obtain and feedback the delay information between multiple TRPs based on the configuration of the network side device, thereby realizing the delay feedback between multiple TRPs.

[0184] The technical solution in the above embodiment can also be used for a terminal to obtain and feed back frequency shift information. For example, the terminal obtains and feeds back frequency shift information based on at least one first reference signal set configured by a network-side device.

[0185] In an optional implementation, when the at least one first reference signal set includes multiple first reference signal sets, the multiple reference signal sets may satisfy at least one of the following:

[0186] (1) The PCIs associated with the multiple first reference signal sets are not completely the same; that is, the PCIs associated with each of the multiple first reference signal sets may be different.

[0187] (2) The plurality of first reference signal sets are sent in consecutive time slots. That is, the reference signals in the plurality of first reference signal sets are sent in consecutive time slots. Optionally, the consecutive time slots may be consecutive downlink time slots.

[0188] In an optional implementation, when the at least one first reference signal set includes multiple first reference signal sets, the method may further include: the terminal feeds back first capability information to the network side device, wherein the first capability information is used to indicate at least one of the following: whether the terminal supports multiple reference signal sets associated with the same time slot transmission, whether the terminal supports multiple reference signal sets associated with the same symbol transmission, the first time slot interval supported by the terminal, and the first symbol interval supported by the terminal, wherein the first time slot interval is the time slot interval between two reference signal sets in the multiple reference signal sets, the first symbol interval is the symbol interval between two reference signal sets in the multiple reference signal sets, and the two reference signal sets include one of the following: two adjacent reference signal sets in the multiple reference signal sets, and two reference signal sets with the farthest intervals in the multiple reference signal sets.

[0189] For example, reference signal set 1 is associated with a time slot offset 1, reference signal set 2 is associated with a time slot offset 2, reference signal set 3 is associated with a time slot offset 3, and time slot offset 1 < time slot offset 2 < time slot offset 3. At this time, the value of time slot offset 2 - time slot offset 1 is not greater than the first time slot interval, and the value of time slot offset 3 - time slot offset 2 is not greater than the first time slot interval.

[0194] In an optional implementation, when the at least one first reference signal set includes a first reference signal set, a reference signal in the first reference signal set is allowed to be used as a delay-related quasi-co-site reference signal. For example, the network-side device configures the terminal to obtain the delay of multiple reference signals based on multiple reference signals in a reference signal set (TRS set), then the multiple reference signals can be used as quasi-co-site reference signals of other signals (CSI-RS, DMRS, PDSCH), and the parameters associated with the quasi-co-site type are delay-related parameters.

[0195] Optionally, a reference signal in the first reference signal set is not associated with a second reference signal set, wherein the reference signals in the second reference signal set are used to provide Doppler-related quasi-co-location information. In other words, a reference signal in the first reference signal set cannot be associated with other reference signal sets, and reference signals in the other reference signal sets can be used to provide Doppler-related quasi-co-location information (average delay and / or delayspread).

[0196] In an optional implementation, when the at least one first reference signal set includes one first reference signal set, the method further includes:

[0197] The terminal feeds back second capability information to the network side device, wherein the second capability information is used to indicate at least one of the following: whether the terminal supports sending multiple reference signals associated with the same time slot, whether the terminal supports sending multiple reference signals associated with the same symbol, the second time slot interval supported by the terminal, and the second symbol interval supported by the terminal, wherein the second time slot interval is the time slot interval between two reference signals among the multiple reference signals, the second symbol interval is the symbol interval between two reference signals among the multiple reference signals, and the two reference signals include one of the following: two adjacent reference signals among the multiple reference signals, and two reference signals with the farthest interval among the multiple reference signals.

[0198] For example, reference signal 1 is associated with a time slot offset 1, reference signal 2 is associated with a time slot offset 2, reference signal 3 is associated with a time slot offset 3, and time slot offset 1 < time slot offset 2 < time slot offset 3. At this time, the value of time slot offset 2 - time slot offset 1 is not greater than the second time slot interval, and the value of time slot offset 3 - time slot offset 2 is not greater than the second time slot interval.

[0199] For another example, reference signal 1 is associated with a time slot offset 1, reference signal 2 is associated with a time slot offset 2, reference signal 3 is associated with a time slot offset 3, and time slot offset 1 < time slot offset 2 < time slot offset 3, then at this time, the value of time slot offset 3 - time slot offset 1 is not greater than the second time slot interval.

[0255] Figure 6 Another flow chart of the method for acquiring channel state information in the embodiment of the present application is shown. The method 600 can be executed by a network side device. In other words, the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the network side device. It should be noted that method 600 is an execution step of the network side device corresponding to method 300. The following embodiment only describes the operation of the network side device. For other matters not covered, please refer to the above description of method 300.

[0256] like Figure 6 As shown, the method may include the following steps.

[0257] S610, the network side device sends a target delay indication corresponding to a target CSI reporting configuration to the terminal, wherein the target delay indication is associated with at least one target delay adjustment value, and the target CSI reporting configuration is a CSI reporting configuration associated with a target MTRP CSI;

[0258] The terminal may determine at least one target delay adjustment value associated with the target MTRP CSI according to the target delay indication, and then may obtain the target MTRP CSI according to the target delay adjustment value. For details, please refer to the relevant description in the above method 300.

[0259] In an optional implementation, the network side device may send a first delay indication to the terminal, wherein the first delay indication is used to indicate a set of delay adjustment values ​​associated with a target CSI reporting configuration, wherein the target CSI reporting configuration is a CSI reporting configuration associated with the target MTRP CSI.

[0260] Optionally, before the network side device may send the first delay indication to the terminal, the network side device may configure multiple groups of delay adjustment values ​​for the terminal, wherein each group of target delay adjustment values ​​is associated with a CSI report configuration.

[0261] In another optional implementation, the network side device sends a second delay indication to the terminal, wherein the second delay indication is used to indicate at least one delay adjustment value associated with the target CSI report configuration, wherein the target CSI report configuration is the CSI report configuration associated with the target MTRP CSI.

[0262] Optionally, before the network side device sends the second delay indication to the terminal, the network side device may configure multiple delay adjustment values ​​for the terminal, wherein each delay adjustment value is associated with a CSI report configuration.

[0263] S612: The network side device receives the target MTRP CSI fed back by the terminal.

[0264] Through the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application, the network side device sends a target delay indication to the terminal, so that the network side device can flexibly adjust the delay range or size associated with the delay information associated with the MTRP CSI fed back by the terminal, thereby improving the flexibility of the network side device.

[0265] The method of the embodiment of the present application can also be used to indicate a target frequency shift indication associated with a target MTRP CSI of a terminal, wherein the target frequency shift indication is associated with at least one target frequency shift value.

[0266] For example, the network side device indicates to the terminal through signaling (not limited to DCI or MAC CE or RRC signaling) multiple frequency shift values ​​that need to be considered or adjusted when calculating the current MTRP CSI. When acquiring the MTRP CSI, the terminal performs pre-compensation based on the multiple frequency shift values, and further acquires the MTRP CSI. The correspondence between the CSI-RS and the frequency shift can be based on the configuration order of the CSI-RS, that is, the first CSI-RS is associated with the first frequency shift value, the second CSI-RS is associated with the second frequency shift value, and so on. After obtaining the MTRP CSI fed back by the terminal, the network side device obtains the frequency shift information between multiple TRPs based on the multiple frequency shift values.

[0267] For example, the network side device may indicate multiple groups of frequency shift values ​​or multiple frequency shift values ​​in advance. The network side device then selects or activates at least one group of frequency shift values ​​or at least one frequency shift value through signaling. Through the selection or activation process, the network side device can flexibly control the frequency shift associated with the MTRP CSI.

[0268] In an optional implementation, after the network side device receives the target MTRP CSI fed back by the terminal, the method may further include the following steps:

[0269] Step 1: The network side device obtains the delay information between MTRPs based on the at least one target delay adjustment value and the delay information in the target MTRP CSI. For example, the delay information between MTRPs may be the sum of the target delay adjustment value and the delay information in the target MTRP CSI.

[0270] Since in actual applications, the network side device may configure different target delay indications for different target MTRP CSIs, therefore, optionally, before step 1, it may also include: the network side device determines at least one target delay adjustment value associated with the target MTRP CSI. That is, the network side device determines at least one target delay adjustment value associated with the target MTRP CSI fed back by the terminal.

[0279] After obtaining the above configuration information, the terminal can obtain and feedback the delay information between multiple TRPs based on the configuration information according to the above method 400.

[0280] The technical solution in the above embodiment can also be used to obtain frequency shift information between multiple TRPs.
