Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and in particular to a channel information feedback method, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of wireless communications, the demand for arrays with large-scale unit antennas or elements is increasing. This will lead to a continuous decrease in the boundary between near-field and far-field communications, and the near-field effect is becoming increasingly prominent. In near-field scenarios, channel characteristics change significantly, and channels at different distances at the same angle are significantly different. Channel modeling has gradually evolved from angular domain modeling to multi-domain modeling. Currently, research on near-field channels is not satisfied with the assumption that distance is extremely large or that distance parameters have little effect on the channel. Modeling points at different spatial locations requires distance as a key design factor.

[0003] Currently, traditional Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) codebooks focus solely on parameters in a single angular dimension, making them incapable of meeting increasingly demanding quality of service (QoS) requirements. Exploring novel codebook matrix designs that incorporate feedback channel information is imperative. Currently, considering near-field channel codebook designs, various codebook forms have been proposed to meet the requirements for precoding performance and communication quality in different scenarios. However, these codebooks are directly indexed using integers, and when high-order terms are present, the codebooks may not match the actual channel, resulting in significant channel quantization errors. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The embodiments of the present application aim to provide a channel information feedback method, electronic device, and storage medium to solve the channel information feedback problem of wireless communication channels. By generating a codebook for feedback channel information based on an offset value, the codeword generation model can be changed, the degree of adaptation between the codebook and the channel can be improved, and the channel quantization error can be reduced.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative work.

[0023] It should be understood that the specific implementations described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0024] In the subsequent description, suffixes such as "module", "component" or "unit" used to represent elements are only used to facilitate the description of this application and have no specific meaning. Therefore, "module", "component" or "unit" can be used interchangeably.

[0025] To further improve the gain of communication instructions brought by Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, massive antenna technology is currently being adopted in the fifth generation of mobile communication technology (5G). In this technology, the base station antenna can include a large number of antenna units and transceiver units. For example, the number of antenna units and transceiver units can be 128, 256, or 512. The terminal can also be configured with an antenna array composed of a large number of antenna units. In the sixth generation of mobile communication technology, the concept of ultra-large-scale MIMO has also been proposed, and the number of base station antennas has further increased. In addition, as a possible new technology for the sixth generation of mobile communication technology (6G), smart metasurfaces may have thousands or even tens of thousands of units, and they also face the problem of changes in channel characteristics and transmission design due to the large number of units.

[0026] During communication, signals can be sent or received through multiple antennas of a base station, a Reconfigurable Intelligence Surface (RIS) or a terminal to reduce signal attenuation and improve communication quality. Generally speaking, in a 5G communication system, a codebook-based transmission scheme or a non-codebook-based transmission scheme can be adopted. Among them, for a codebook-based transmission scheme, it means that multiple codebooks are pre-configured at the base station and the terminal, each codebook contains multiple precoding matrices, and then the precoding matrix contained in the selected codebook is determined, and the final determined precoding matrix is ​​used for data transmission. The base station determines the codebook parameters used by the terminal based on the sounding reference signal resources reported by the terminal, and notifies the terminal of the codebook parameters. The terminal determines the corresponding codebook based on the notification of the base station. However, the current codebook is designed based on the far-field channel, and does not consider the impact of the increase in the number of arrays or the increase in frequency on the channel model. Therefore, the current DFT codebook is not sufficient to support near-field communication needs.

[0027] To meet the near-field communication environments that are highly likely to exist in B5G / 6G, the design of near-field codebooks is crucial. Current communication protocols utilize DFT codebooks, which degrade near-field transmission performance, impacting channel estimation quality and system capacity, and failing to meet communication requirements. Near-field codebook design is still in its infancy, and a comprehensive near-field codebook model design solution is lacking.

[0028] The design of the near-field codebook model needs to consider the position parameters of the receiver. This overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional DFT codebook's single-domain codebook design and adopts a multi-domain codebook design approach. By defining parameters in different domains, different near-field codebook model schemes can be designed. A typical example of a near-field codebook currently under consideration is one in which at least one codeword block G conforms to the following model:

[0029]

[0030] G n =p n exp(j2π(a0+an+bn 2 ))

[0031] G n =p n exp(j2π(a0+an+bn 2 +cn 3 ))

[0032] G n =p n exp(j2π(a0+an+bn 2 +cn 3 +dn 4 ))

[0033] Where n represents the antenna index, a, b, c, and d are the first, second, third, and fourth precoding indicator parameters respectively, and at least one of a, b, c, and d is not zero, a0 represents the additional phase parameter, and p n Indicates the amplitude of the codeword element of the code block.

[0034] Or at least one codeword block G is constructed using the following model:

[0035]

[0036]

[0037]

[0038]

[0039] Among them, the first parameter is t1, the second parameter is t2, n represents the antenna index, f4(t1, t2), f3(t1, t2), f2(t1, t2) and f1(t1, t2) are the first, second, third and fourth precoding indication parameters respectively, and at least one of the precoding indication parameters is not zero, a0 represents the additional phase parameter, p n Indicates the amplitude of the codeword element of the code block.

[0040] However, the above codeword is directly determined based on the integer index. When high-order terms exist, the phase value and the index no longer satisfy a linear relationship. This will cause the codebook to not match the actual channel when high-order terms exist, resulting in a large channel quantization error. To address this problem, an embodiment of the present application provides a channel information feedback method to make the generated codebook more adaptable to the channel.

[0041] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a channel information feedback method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The present application is applicable to the case of channel information feedback. The method can be executed by a channel information feedback device, generally applied to the receiving end. The device can be implemented by software and / or hardware. Figure 1 The method provided in the embodiment of the present application specifically includes the following steps:

[0042] Step 110: Acquire channel parameters of the measurement channel.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, channel parameters generated by channel measurement may be obtained.

[0044] Step 120: Determine a codebook set for channel quantization feedback of the channel.

[0045] Specifically, a codebook set used for performing channel quantization feedback on the channel may be determined.

[0046] Step 130: Select a codeword from the codebook set for quantizing channel parameters.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, a codeword for quantizing and representing the determined channel parameter may be selected from a codebook set.

[0048] Step 140: Determine the indication parameter of the codeword and feed back the indication parameter to the transmitting end.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, an indication parameter indicating a codeword may be determined and fed back to the transmitting end, which then determines the codeword based on the indication parameter and determines the channel parameters of the channel based on the codeword.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, at least one type of codeword included in the codebook set satisfies the following conditions:

[0051] The codeword is a vector or matrix consisting of N elements; the nth element u of the codeword is n It has the following characteristics: n Generated by a parameter set x(n) and a bias z, wherein the parameter set x(n) consists of at least one parameter, at least one parameter in the parameter set x(n) is determined according to the index value n of the element to be generated, the elements in the parameter set x(n) are real numbers, the bias z is configured by the base station or selected by the terminal, and n and z are real numbers.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, the codebook set may be composed of codewords, and there is at least one type of codeword in the codebook set that satisfies a preset condition, wherein the preset condition includes: the codeword is a vector or matrix consisting of N elements, and the elements in the codeword can be generated by a parameter set x(n) and a bias z. Each element in the parameter set x(n) may be a real number, and the bias z may be a real number configured by the base station or selected by the terminal.

[0053] Based on the above application embodiment, the parameter set x(n)=f(a, b, c), wherein a, b and c are sub-indexes respectively, and f() represents a function.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, all elements in the parameter set x(n) can be determined by sub-indices a, b and c through function f(), where sub-indices a, b and c can be independent variables, and all elements in the parameter set x(n) can be dependent variables generated after mapping by function f().

[0055] In some other application embodiments, a and b are basis vector sub-indexes, and c is the layer number sub-index.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, the element u of the codeword n It can be determined directly by the parameter set x(n) and the offset z through the mapping function g(), and each element in the parameter set x(n) can be determined by the index value n of the element to be generated in the codeword.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment, taking the number of layers as 2 as an example, a codeword generation method includes:

[0066]

[0067] In the above formula, N1 and N2 are the total number of sub-indexes of the first-dimensional discrete Fourier vector of the codeword block and the total number of sub-indexes of the second-dimensional discrete Fourier vector, respectively. O1 and O2 are the oversampling multiples of the first-dimensional discrete Fourier vector of the codeword block and the oversampling multiples of the second-dimensional discrete Fourier vector, respectively.

[0068] Let a be the codeword block v l,m The first dimension of the discrete Fourier vector sub-index, b is the codeword block v l,m The corresponding sub-index of the second-dimensional discrete Fourier vector, c is the layer sub-index, d is the polariton sub-index, and the parameter values ​​are defined as a∈{1,…,N1},b∈{1,…,N2},c∈{1,2},d∈{1,2};

[0069] One way to define the parameter set x(n) is:

[0070] x(n)=2N1N2(c-1)+N1N2(d-1)+N2(a-1)+b

[0071] Therefore, the parameter set x(n) = f(a, b, c), where a, b, c are sub-indexes, f() represents a function, a and b can be basis vector sub-indexes respectively, and c is the layer number sub-index.

[0079] In one possible scenario, W l,l′,m,m′,n The order of the codeword elements is from top to bottom and from left to right in ascending order, as shown in the following formula:

[0080]

[0081] In the above formula, N1 and N2 are the total number of sub-indexes of the first-dimensional discrete Fourier vector of the codeword block and the total number of sub-indexes of the second-dimensional discrete Fourier vector, respectively. O1 and O2 are the oversampling multiples of the first-dimensional discrete Fourier vector of the codeword block and the oversampling multiples of the second-dimensional discrete Fourier vector, respectively.

[0082] Let a be the sub-index of the first-dimensional discrete Fourier vector of the codeword block, b be the sub-index of the second-dimensional discrete Fourier vector of the codeword block, c be the layer number sub-index, d be the polariton index, and the parameter values ​​are defined as a∈{1,…,N1},b∈{1,…,N2},c∈{1,2},d∈{1,2};

[0083] One way to define the parameter set x(n) is:

[0084] x(n)=2N1N2(c-1)+2N1(a-1)+N1(d-1)+b

[0085] Therefore, the parameter set x(n) = f(a, b, c), where a, b, c are sub-indexes, f() represents a function, a and b can be basis vector sub-indexes respectively, and c is the layer number sub-index.

[0086] In some other application embodiments, u n The methods generated by the parameter set x(n) and the bias z include:

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, the element u in the codeword n A parameter set t(n,z) can be generated by a function g(), and the parameter set t(n,z) can be generated by a bias z and the index n of the element to be generated in the codeword by a function t().

[0089] In some embodiments, t(n,z)={t1(n,z),...,t L (n, z)}; wherein L represents the number of elements of t(n, z); when t(n, z) = {t1(n, z)}, t(n, z) = t1(n, z).

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, t() may be a function set, which may be composed of L functions. When the element in the function set is 1, t(n, z) = t1(n, z).

[0091] In an exemplary embodiment, taking the number of layers as 1 as an example, a codeword is generated as follows:

[0092]

[0093] Among them, l, m, n can be real numbers respectively;

[0094]

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] In the above formula, N1 and N2 are the total number of sub-indexes of the first-dimensional discrete Fourier vector of the codeword block and the total number of sub-indexes of the second-dimensional discrete Fourier vector, respectively. O1 and O2 are the oversampling multiples of the first-dimensional discrete Fourier vector of the codeword block and the oversampling multiples of the second-dimensional discrete Fourier vector, respectively.

The corresponding relationship may include:

[0110] n=N2(n1-1)+n2

[0111]

[0112] n2=n-N2(n1-1)

[0113] Among them, floor(x) can mean rounding x down, that is, returning the largest integer not greater than x.
