Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a channel state information reporting method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a communication system, a terminal can perform channel measurement based on a downlink reference signal sent by a network device, obtain a channel state information (CSI) report, and report the CSI report to the network device. There are various types of CSI reports. When different types of CSI reports are obtained, the terminal can send the CSI report to the network device based on the priority of the CSI report.

[0003] However, with the development of communication technology, many new CSI reporting scenarios will be added, and different CSI reports exist in different scenarios. How the terminal reports these new CSI reports is still an unsolved problem. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a channel state information reporting method and device, which can determine the reporting priority of different channel state reports for new scenarios, and solves the reporting problem of channel state reports in new scenarios.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a channel state information reporting method, which can be executed by a terminal. The terminal here can refer to the terminal itself, or a processor, module, logic node, chip, or chip system in the terminal that implements the method.

[0007] The method comprises: obtaining a CSI report, the CSI report comprising at least one of a first type of CSI report or a second type of CSI report, the first type of CSI report being obtained according to an artificial intelligence model, and the second type of CSI report being used to train the artificial intelligence model; and sending the CSI report according to the priority of the CSI report.

[0008] Based on the method provided in the above first aspect, in an artificial intelligence scenario, after the terminal obtains the CSI report related to the artificial intelligence model (i.e. the first type of CSI report and / or the second type of CSI report), the terminal can determine which CSI report to report first according to the priority of the CSI report, so as to ensure the reporting resources of the CSI report with high priority.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the first type of CSI report can include the following two cases: a CSI report obtained by prediction according to the artificial intelligence model, or a CSI report obtained by compression of the measurement result of the reference signal according to the artificial intelligence model.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the second type of CSI report can include one or more of the following: a CSI report obtained by prediction according to the artificial intelligence model, a CSI report obtained by processing the measurement result of the reference signal according to the artificial intelligence model, or a CSI report obtained by measurement of the reference signal, without any limitation.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the priority of the first type of CSI report and the priority of the second type of CSI report are both related to the first parameter, the value of the first parameter is negatively related to the priority, and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report is smaller than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second type of CSI report. Based on this, in the scenario where the first type of CSI report and the second type of CSI report are both related to the first parameter, the greater the value of the first parameter corresponding to the CSI report of a type, the lower the priority of the CSI report of the type. That is, in the above scenario, the priority of the first type of CSI report is higher than the priority of the second type of CSI report. In this way, the terminal can report the CSI report in the order of first sending the first type of CSI report and then sending the second type of CSI report in the scenario, and in the case of limited uplink resources, the reporting resources of the first type of CSI report are preferentially guaranteed, thereby improving the allocation efficiency of the channel resources of the communication system.

[0012] In a possible implementation, when the first type of CSI report includes first beam information, the priority of the first type of CSI report is further related to a second parameter, a value of the second parameter is negatively related to the priority, and the first beam is a beam associated with the first type of CSI report. When the second type of CSI report includes second beam information, the priority of the second type of CSI report is further related to the second parameter, and the second beam is a beam associated with the second type of CSI report. The value of the second parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report is smaller than the value of the second parameter corresponding to the second type of CSI report. The first beam information and the second beam information can be the same or different. Based on this, in the case where the first type of CSI report includes the first beam information, the priority of the first type of CSI report is further related to the second parameter, and the smaller the value of the second parameter is, the higher the priority of the first type of CSI report is, under the condition that other conditions remain unchanged. Similarly, in the case where the second type of CSI report includes the second beam information, the priority of the second type of CSI report is further related to the second parameter, and the smaller the value of the second parameter is, the higher the priority of the second type of CSI report is, under the condition that other conditions remain unchanged. Therefore, based on the above manner, the terminal can determine whether to send the first type of CSI report or the second type of CSI report to the network device.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the CSI report further includes a third type of CSI report, the third type of CSI report is obtained based on measurement of a reference signal, and the third type of CSI report is not obtained according to an artificial intelligence model, and the priority of the third type of CSI report is related to the first parameter. Based on this, when the CSI report includes at least one of the first type of CSI report or the second type of CSI report, and the third type of CSI report, the terminal can determine which type of CSI report to report to the network device based on the first parameter.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is smaller than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second type of CSI report. The value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is smaller than or equal to the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report. Based on this, in the case where the CSI report includes the third type of CSI report and the priority of the third type of CSI report is related to the first parameter, the terminal can report the CSI report in the order of first sending the third type of CSI report, then sending the first type of CSI report, and finally sending the second type of CSI report. In this way, in the case where the uplink resource is limited, the terminal can preferentially guarantee the reporting resource of the third type of CSI report. Alternatively, the CSI report is reported in the order of first sending the third type of CSI report and the first type of CSI report, and then sending the second type of CSI report. In this way, in the case where the uplink resource is limited, the terminal can preferentially guarantee the reporting resource of the third type of CSI report and the first type of CSI report.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the first type of CSI report includes one or more of a first CSI report reported periodically, a second CSI report reported aperiodically, or a third CSI report reported semi-persistently. The value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report. The value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first CSI report. The value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first CSI report. Based on this, the values of the first parameter corresponding to the CSI reports of one or more types classified according to different reporting manners of the first type of CSI report are also different. That is, the terminal can report the CSI reports in the order of first reporting the second CSI report, then reporting the third CSI report, and finally reporting the first CSI report. In this way, the reporting resource of the second CSI report is preferentially guaranteed in the case of limited uplink resources.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the third CSI report is a third CSI report reported through a data channel or a third CSI report reported through a control channel. The value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report reported through the data channel is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report reported through the control channel. Based on this, the values of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI reports reported through different channels are different, so the priorities of the two reports are also different. For example, the priority of the third CSI report reported through the data channel is higher than that of the third CSI report reported through the control channel. That is, the terminal can first report the third CSI report through the data channel, and then report the third CSI report through the control channel. In this way, the reporting resource of the third CSI report reported through the data channel is preferentially guaranteed in the case of limited uplink resources.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report, including that the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first CSI report, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report, and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report. Based on this, in the case where the first type of CSI report includes CSI reports of multiple types of different reporting manners, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is less than that of the CSI reports of multiple types of different reporting manners in the first type of CSI report. That is, the terminal can report the CSI reports in the order of first reporting the third type of CSI report, and then reporting the first CSI report, the second CSI report, and the third CSI report. In this way, the reporting resource of the third type of CSI report is preferentially guaranteed in the case of limited uplink resources.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the third type of CSI report includes one or more of a fourth CSI report of periodic reporting, a fifth CSI report of aperiodic reporting, or a sixth CSI report of semi-persistent reporting. The value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is equal to the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report, including: the value of the first parameter corresponding to the fourth CSI report is equal to the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first CSI report. The value of the first parameter corresponding to the fifth CSI report is equal to the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report. The value of the first parameter corresponding to the sixth CSI report is equal to the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report. Based on this, in the case of including CSI reports of multiple reporting modes in the first type of CSI report and the third type of CSI report, the first parameter corresponding to the CSI report of the same type in the third type of CSI report and the first type of CSI report is the same. That is, the terminal can not distinguish the first type of CSI report and the third type of CSI report when reporting the CSI report, but first sends the second CSI report and the fifth CSI report, then sends the third CSI report and the sixth CSI report, and finally sends the first CSI report and the fourth CSI report. In this way, in the case of limited uplink resources, the reporting resources of the second CSI report and the fifth CSI report are preferentially guaranteed.

[0019] In a possible implementation, the priority of the third type of CSI report is higher than the priority of the first type of CSI report, and the priority of the third type of CSI report is higher than the priority of the second type of CSI report. Based on this, the terminal can first send the third type of CSI report, and then send the first type of CSI report or the second type of CSI report, to guarantee the reporting resources of the third type of CSI report. In some examples, the priorities of the first type of CSI report, the second type of CSI report, and the third type of CSI report can be related to a first parameter, or related to the first parameter and a second parameter. After the terminal determines the priorities of the CSI reports based on the above parameters, the priorities of the CSI reports can be sorted according to the priorities of the CSI reports in the above possible implementation. In this way, when the priorities of the CSI reports are sorted, the influence of each parameter and the importance of different types of CSI reports are considered, so that the final priority sorting of the CSI reports is more reasonable, to improve the efficiency of the terminal reporting the CSI reports.

[0020] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: receiving first indication information, the first indication information indicating that the first priority strategy is used to determine the priority of the first type of CSI report or the priority of the second type of CSI report, or the second priority strategy is used to determine the priority of the third type of CSI report, the first priority strategy being the same as or different from the second priority strategy. Based on this, the terminal can prioritize different types of CSI reports according to different priority strategies. The terminal can receive the first indication information from the network device, and determine which priority strategy is used to determine the priority of the CSI report based on the first indication information. Of course, the terminal can also determine which priority strategy is used to determine the priority of the CSI report according to the type of the CSI report. In addition, the terminal can also determine which priority strategy is used by other methods that can achieve the above purpose, which is not limited here.

[0021] In a second aspect, the present application provides a channel state information method, which can be executed by a network device. The network device here can refer to the network device itself, or a processor, circuit, module, logic node, chip, or chip system in the network device that implements the method.

[0022] The method includes: receiving a channel state information (CSI) report, the CSI report including at least one of a first type of CSI report or a second type of CSI report, the first type of CSI report being obtained according to an artificial intelligence model, and the second type of CSI report being used to train the artificial intelligence model; and wherein the CSI report is transmitted according to a priority of the CSI report.

[0023] Based on the method provided in the second aspect, in an artificial intelligence scenario, after the network device receives the CSI report related to the artificial intelligence model (i.e., the first type of CSI report and / or the second type of CSI report) reported according to the priority of the CSI report, the network device can perform channel resource scheduling according to the CSI report, thereby improving the allocation efficiency of the channel resources of the communication system.

[0024] In a possible implementation, the method further includes: sending first indication information, the first indication information indicating that the first priority strategy is used to determine the priority of the first type of CSI report or the priority of the second type of CSI report, or the second priority strategy is used to determine the priority of the third type of CSI report, the first priority strategy being the same as or different from the second priority strategy.

[0076] Before introducing the technical solutions of the present application, the related technical terms involved in the present application are explained and described. It can be understood that these explanations and descriptions are to make the present application easier to be understood, and should not be regarded as limiting the scope of protection required by the present application.

[0077] 1. CSI resource configuration parameter: used for the network device to indicate the terminal the resources for measurement and reporting. The CSI resource configuration parameter can include at least one CSI reference signal (reference signal, RS) resource configuration (CSI-RS resource setting).

[0078] When the CSI resource configuration parameter includes one CSI-RS resource setting, the CSI-RS resource setting is used to implement beam measurement, such as to calculate layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP).

[0079] ​When the resource configuration parameter of the CSI includes 2 CSI-RS resource settings, one CSI-RS resource setting contains a set of non-zero power channel state information-reference signal (NZP CSI-RS) resource sets. The NZP CSI-RS resource set can be configured by the high-level parameter NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet. The network device can indicate the terminal a NZP CSI-RS resource set in a set of NZP CSI-RS resource sets for channel measurement, so that the terminal performs channel measurement based on the NZP CSI-RS resource set indicated by the network device. Another CSI-RS resource set contains one NZP CSI-RS resource set or one CSI-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resource set, to configure the terminal to perform interference measurement according to the NZP CSI-RS resource set or the CSI-IM resource set. Wherein, the CSI-IM resource set can be configured by the network device to the terminal through the high-level parameter CSI-IM-ResourceSet.

[0080] It can be understood that the above-mentioned one NZP CSI-RS resource set for channel measurement indicated by the network device in the CSI-RS resource set can contain n NZP CSI-RS resources, when the interference measurement is based on NZP CSI-RS, n = 1; and when the interference measurement is based on CSI-IM, n ≥ 1 and n is an integer. When n ≥ 1, the CSI-IM resource set also contains the same number of CSI-IM resources, and corresponds to the n NZP CSI-RS resources in the NZP CSI-RS resource set one by one. The terminal selects one NZP CSI-RS resource, such as the Xth NZP CSI-RS resource, from the n NZP CSI-RS resources, and reports the CSI measurement result on this NZP CSI-RS resource and the corresponding CSI-IM resource. The CSI measurement result includes the reporting quantity indicated by the network device through the high layer signaling (such as reportQuantity, contained in the CSI reporting configuration parameter CSI-ReportConfig). When the terminal reports the CSI measurement result, the CSI measurement result also indicates the indication of the corresponding NZP CSI-RS resource (CSI-RS resource indicator, CRI), that is, the CSI measurement result also indicates X.

[0081] In another example, when the resource configuration parameter of the CSI includes three CSI-RS resource settings, the first CSI-RS resource setting contains a set of NZP CSI-RS resource sets. The network device can indicate the terminal a NZP CSI-RS resource set for channel measurement in the set of NZP CSI-RS resource sets, so that the terminal performs channel measurement based on the NZP CSI-RS resource set indicated by the network device. The second CSI-RS resource setting contains a set of NZP CSI-RS resource sets; the third CSI-RS resource setting contains a CSI-IM resource set. The terminal can perform interference measurement based on the second resource configuration and the third resource configuration. For example, the terminal can perform inter-user interference measurement based on the NZP CSI-RS resource set included in the second CSI-RS resource setting, and perform inter-cell interference measurement based on the CSI-IM resource set included in the third CSI-RS resource setting.

[0082] It can be understood that the network device can configure the resource used for CSI reporting measurement and reporting to the terminal through high layer signaling. The high layer signaling can include radio resource control (RRC) signaling. Specifically, the resource configuration parameter of the CSI can be carried in the field csi-resourceconfig in the RRC signaling to configure the resource used for measurement and reporting to the terminal. The resource configuration parameter of the CSI can include one or more resource configurations (resource settings) used for configuring the CSI-RS.

[0083] 2. CSI reporting: used for the terminal to report the channel state information to the network device. The terminal can send the CSI reporting to the network device in the following ways: periodic CSI reporting (P-CSI), semi-persistent CSI reporting (SP-CSI) and aperiodic CSI reporting (AP-CSI). The following describes the above three reporting modes.

[0084] Mode one: periodic CSI reporting refers to that the terminal sends the CSI reporting to the network device in a fixed period. The network device can configure the terminal to perform periodic CSI reporting through high layer signaling. After the configuration is completed, the terminal can perform CSI measurement and reporting based on the configured resource. Further, the terminal can perform channel measurement and interference measurement based on the periodic CSI-RS resource, and report the CSI on the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) at a fixed time interval. The channel measurement resource (CMR) and the interference measurement resource (IMR) used for measurement are both periodic, and the related parameters such as the specific period and resource mapping can be configured to the terminal by the network device through RRC signaling. In addition, the period of CSI reporting and the PUCCH resource used for reporting and other parameters are also configured to the terminal by the network device through RRC signaling.

[0085] The second mode: the semi-persistent CSI reporting refers to that the terminal sends the CSI report to the network device in a fixed period within a certain time period under the indication of the network device. For example, the network device can activate and deactivate the semi-persistent CSI reporting through the downlink high layer signaling. For example, the downlink high layer signaling can be the physical layer downlink control signaling (DCI). After receiving the downlink high layer signaling sent by the network device to indicate to start the CSI reporting, and before receiving the downlink signaling to indicate to stop the CSI reporting, the terminal can periodically send the CSI report to the network device. In addition, the CMR and IMR used by the semi-persistent CSI reporting can be periodic or semi-persistent, without limitation. When the terminal uses the semi-persistent CSI reporting, the reporting can be performed on the PUCCH resource. For another example, the downlink high layer signaling includes the MAC CE signaling. When the terminal uses the semi-persistent CSI reporting, the reporting can also be performed on the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) resource. Whether the semi-persistent CSI measurement using the PUCCH or the semi-persistent CSI measurement using the PUSCH, the measurement resource position, the measurement bandwidth and other measurement parameters can be configured to the terminal by the network device through the RRC signaling.

[0086] The third mode: the aperiodic CSI reporting refers to that the terminal sends the CSI report to the network device at an unspecified time. The network device first configures a plurality of CSI reporting configuration parameters for the terminal through the downlink RRC signaling. For example, the network device sends one or more CSI reporting configuration parameters to the terminal through the DCI, the terminal performs the CSI measurement according to the CSI reporting configuration parameters, and reports the CSI measurement result using the PUSCH resource. It should be understood that although the aperiodic CSI reporting needs to be triggered by the network device like the semi-persistent CSI reporting, the aperiodic CSI reporting does not need to be deactivated after being activated through the DCI, and performs a measurement and reporting. The CMR and IMR used by the aperiodic CSI reporting can be periodic or semi-persistent or aperiodic.

[0087] It can be understood that in the above three CSI reporting schemes, the configuration parameters required in the CSI reporting process can be configured by the network device to the terminal (such as configured to the terminal by RRC signaling). For example, the above configuration parameters can include one or more of the reporting quantity, the reporting bandwidth, etc. The reporting quantity can include one or more of a rank indicator (RI), a channel quality indicator (CQI), or a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a (reference signal receiving power, RSRP), a (CSI-RS resource indication, CRI), etc. In the communication system, the terminal and the network device can cooperate with each other to complete different measurement requirements through the configuration parameters of the CSI measurement.

[0093] Network device 110, sometimes also referred to as RAN node, access network device, RAN entity, or access node, constitutes part of the communication system and is used to help terminals achieve wireless access. Multiple network devices 110 in the communication system 10 can be nodes of the same type or different types.

[0094] In one possible scenario, network equipment can be a base station, an evolved NodeB (eNodeB), an access point (AP), a transmission reception point (TRP), a base station in a future mobile communication system, or an access node in a WiFi system, etc. Network equipment can also be a macro base station (such as...) Figure 1 110a), micro base stations or indoor stations (such as Figure 1The network device 110 (110b) can be a relay node or donor node, or a wireless controller in a CRAN scenario. Optionally, the network device can also be a server, wearable device, vehicle, or in-vehicle equipment. For example, the access network device in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology can be a roadside unit (RSU). In some scenarios, the roles of network device 110 and terminal 120 are relative. For example, a helicopter or drone, typically configured as a terminal, can also be configured as a mobile base station, and the device accessing the RAN via the helicopter or drone is configured as a terminal.

[0096] By way of example, and without limitation, in the present application, a terminal can be a wearable device. The wearable device can also be referred to as a wearable smart device, which is a general term for devices that are designed by applying wearable technology to daily wear, such as glasses, gloves, watches, clothing, and shoes, etc. The wearable device is a portable device that is directly worn on the body or integrated into the clothes or accessories of the user. For example, the wearable device is not only a hardware device, but also a device that achieves powerful functions through software support and data interaction and cloud interaction. The wearable smart device in a broad sense includes devices with full functions and large sizes, which can realize complete or partial functions without relying on a smart phone, such as smart watches or smart glasses, etc., and devices that focus on only one type of application function and need to be used in cooperation with other devices, such as smart phones, such as various types of smart wristbands and smart jewelry for monitoring vital signs, etc.

[0097] In the present application, a terminal can be a terminal in an internet of things (IoT) system, which is an important part of future information technology development, and its main technical feature is to connect objects through communication technology and network to realize the intelligent network of man-machine interconnection and object-object interconnection. The terminal in the present application can be a terminal in machine type communication (MTC).

[0098] In some embodiments, Figure 1 The communication system 10 shown can be applied to Figure 1 The network shown. Figure 1 The network shown includes terminals, network devices accessed by the terminals, and core network devices connected in communication with the network devices. The network devices and the core network devices can communicate through a backhaul link. In addition, the network devices in the communication system 10 can correspond to the network devices shown, and the terminals in the communication system 10 can correspond to the terminals shown. Figure 1 Figure 1

[0099] In Figure 1 , the network device can include a baseband unit and a radio frequency unit. The baseband unit and the radio frequency unit can communicate through a front link. The baseband unit can include a control unit and a distributed unit, and the control unit and the distributed unit can communicate through a middle link. In addition, the network device and the core network device can communicate through a backhaul link, and the network device and the terminal can communicate through an air interface.

[0100] Next, taking the network device in the Figure 2 as an example, the composition structure and communication mode of the CU, the DU, and the RU are introduced in detail.

[0101] ​​In some examples, the CU is a logical node carrying the Radio Resource Control (RRC) layer, the service data adaptation protocol (SDAP) layer, the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer and other control functions of the network device. The CU is connected to network nodes such as core networks through some interfaces.

[0102] In some examples, the CU can be split into a CU control plane (CU-CP) and a CU user plane (CU-UP), wherein the CU-CP is a logical node carrying the RRC layer and the PDCP-C (control plane part of PDCP) layer, used to implement the control plane function of the CU. The CU-CP can interact with network elements in the core network for implementing the control plane function. The CU-UP is a logical node carrying the SDAP layer and the PDCP-U (user plane part of PDCP) layer, used to implement the user plane function of the CU. The CU-UP can interact with network elements in the core network for implementing the user plane function. The above configuration of the CU, DU is only an example, and the CU, DU can have other functions according to needs.

[0103] In some examples, the DU is a logical node carrying the Radio Link Control (RLC) layer, the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, the Higher Physical Layer (Higher PHY) layer and other functions. The DU is connected to the RU through some interfaces, which can be fronthaul interfaces. In some examples, the Higher PHY includes parts of the PHY layer processing, such as forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, modulation and demodulation, and other processing functions.

[0104] In some examples, the RU is a logical node that hosts lower physical layer (Lower PHY) and radio frequency (RF) link processing. In some examples, the RU can be a 3GPP transmission reception point (TRP) or a remote radio head (RRH) or other similar functional entity. In some examples, the Low-PHY includes portions of PHY processing such as fast Fourier transform (FFT), inverse fast Fourier transformation (IFFT), digital beamforming and filtering, and other processing functions. The RU communicates with one or more UEs over a wireless link.

[0105] The DU and the RU can or can not be co-located. The DU and the RU exchange control plane information and user plane information via a lower-layer split-control, user and synchronization (LLS-CUS) interface over a fronthaul link. The LLS-CUS can include a LLS-C interface and a LLS-U interface that provide a control plane (C-Plane) and a user plane (U-Plane), respectively. In some examples, the control plane (C-Plane) refers to real-time control between the DU and the RU. The DU and the RU have a LLS-M interface of the fronthaul link to exchange management information, and the management plane (M-Plane) refers to non-real-time management operations between the DU and the RU.

[0126] In one possible scheme, see Figure 4 , which shows a flowchart of a CSI reporting method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The communication method comprises:

[0127] S501: The terminal acquires a CSI report.

[0128] The terminal can be any terminal in the communication system 10. For example, the terminal can be the terminal 120 in the communication system 10 as shown. Figure 4 The CSI report includes at least one of a first type of CSI report or a second type of CSI report, the first type of CSI report being obtained according to an artificial intelligence model, and the second type of CSI report being used to train the artificial intelligence model. In the present application.

[0129] In some examples, the first type of CSI report or the second type of CSI report can include one or more of the following: precoding matrix indication (PMI) information, channel quality indication (CQI) information, rank indication (RI) information, layer indication (LI) information, L1-RSRP, layer 1 signal to interference plus noise ratio (L1-SINR).

[0130] In some examples, the artificial intelligence model can include one or more of the following: a convolutional neural network (CNN), a recurrent neural network (RNN), a fully connected neural network, a transformer neural network, a multilayer perceptron (MLP), a long short-term memory (LSTM), or a variant of the above neural network algorithms. The above artificial intelligence model can be used to implement the related functions of obtaining the CSI report according to the artificial intelligence model in the embodiments of the present application.

[0131] It can be understood that the artificial intelligence model is a theory, method, technology and application system that uses a digital computer or a machine controlled by a digital computer to simulate, extend and expand human intelligence, perceive the environment, acquire knowledge and use knowledge to obtain the best results. In other words, artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and produce a new intelligent machine that can react in a similar way to human intelligence. Artificial intelligence is to study the design principles and implementation methods of various intelligent machines, so that machines have the functions of perception, reasoning and decision-making.

[0132] The process of the terminal obtaining the first type of CSI report and the second type of CSI report is described below.

[0133] (1) The process of the terminal obtaining the first type of CSI report.

[0134] In the present application, the artificial intelligence model can be used to compress the CSI report or to predict the CSI report, which is described below.

[0135] One possible implementation is that the terminal compresses the channel state information matrix or the feature vector corresponding to the channel state information through an artificial intelligence model to reduce the overhead of reporting the CSI report by the terminal.

[0136] In some examples, the terminal measures the channel state information reference signal to obtain a channel state information matrix H, and determines a corresponding eigenvector V according to the channel state information matrix H. Then, referring to Figure 4 The terminal can perform compression processing on the channel state information matrix H or the eigenvector V based on the artificial intelligence model to reduce the pressure of the terminal reporting the CSI report. In this scenario, the artificial intelligence model can maintain a plurality of codebooks, which are channel state information feedback mechanisms defined according to the standard definition of channel state information of the communication network, so that the artificial intelligence model can perform compression processing on the channel state information matrix H or the eigenvector V to obtain a corresponding and The codebook corresponding to the channel state information matrix H or the eigenvector V can be obtained after the channel state information matrix H or the eigenvector V is input into the artificial intelligence model. For example, the codebook can include one or more of the following: type1-singlepanel codebook, type1-multi panle codebook, type2 codebook, etype2 codebook, etc.

[0137] In other examples, referring to Figure 4 In the interaction scenario where the terminal reports the CSI report to the network device, on the one hand, the terminal performs compression processing on the channel state information matrix H or the eigenvector V corresponding to the channel state information matrix H based on the CSI encoder in the artificial intelligence model, and sends the compressed code stream to the network device through the feedback bit. Correspondingly, on the other hand, the network device receives the code stream sent by the terminal, and performs decompression on the channel state information matrix H or the eigenvector V based on the CSI decoder in the artificial intelligence model to obtain a corresponding and Further, the CSI report reported by the terminal is finally obtained.

[0138] Specifically, the terminal inputs the channel state information matrix H or the eigenvector V corresponding to the channel state information matrix H into the encoder of the AI CSI, obtains the output B of the AI CSI encoder and feeds back to the network device. The network device inputs the received B into the AI CSI decoder to obtain the output That is, the channel state information matrix H or the eigenvector V corresponding to the channel state information matrix H is recovered to realize the reporting of the channel state information by the terminal.

[0139] In one possible implementation, the terminal predicts the channel state information matrix or the eigenvector corresponding to the channel state information through the artificial intelligence model.

[0140] In this application, the above prediction can include at least one of time domain CSI report prediction or space domain CSI report prediction. The following will be described in detail.

[0141] Optionally, the spatial domain CSI report prediction of the artificial intelligence model refers to that the terminal can predict the CSI report of other regions according to the CSI report of part of the regions, that is, the terminal can take the CSI report measured in part of the regions as the input of the artificial intelligence model, and obtain the CSI report of other regions through the prediction of the artificial intelligence model, so as to reduce the measurement overhead of the terminal.

[0142] Optionally, the time domain CSI report prediction of the artificial intelligence model refers to that the terminal can predict the CSI report of the future time domain according to the CSI report measured in the historical time domain, that is, the terminal can take the CSI report measured in the historical time domain as the input of the artificial intelligence model, and obtain the CSI report of the future time domain through the prediction of the artificial intelligence model, so as to reduce the measurement overhead of the terminal.

[0143] It can be understood that the time domain CSI report prediction and the spatial domain CSI report prediction can be combined with each other, for example, the terminal can predict the CSI report of other regions in the future according to the CSI report of part of the regions in the historical time domain, in general, when the CSI report prediction is performed through the artificial intelligence model, the input and output can be adjusted according to the actual demand, and no limitation is made herein.

[0144] (2) Process of the terminal obtaining the second type of CSI report.

[0145] In the present application, the second type of CSI report is used to train the above-mentioned artificial intelligence model, and the present application does not limit the obtaining approach of the second type of CSI report. In the process of the terminal obtaining the second type of CSI report, on the one hand, the terminal can obtain the CSI report through measurement based on the channel state information reference signal; on the other hand, the terminal obtains the CSI report through processing of the channel state information matrix or the feature vector corresponding to the channel state information by the artificial intelligence model. For example, the terminal performs compression processing on the channel state information matrix or the feature vector corresponding to the channel state information through the artificial intelligence model, so as to reduce the overhead of the terminal reporting the CSI report. For another example, the terminal performs prediction processing on the channel state information matrix or the feature vector corresponding to the channel state information through the artificial intelligence model. The exemplary prediction processing can include time domain CSI report prediction or spatial domain CSI report prediction.

[0146] Optionally, the CSI report further includes a third type of CSI report, the third type of CSI report is obtained based on the measurement reference signal, or the third type of CSI report is obtained based on the measurement reference signal and the third type of CSI report is not obtained according to the artificial intelligence model.

[0147] In one possible implementation, the terminal can obtain the CSI report based on the CSI resource configuration parameter obtained from the network device. Wherein, the network device can be Figure 2Any one of the network devices in the illustrated communication system 10. The CSI resource configuration parameters can refer to the corresponding description in the foregoing, and will not be described again.

[0148] S502: The terminal sends the CSI report to the network device according to the priority of the CSI report. Correspondingly, the network device receives the CSI report sent by the terminal.

[0149] In this application, the priority of the CSI report can be related to one or more parameters, for example, the priority of the CSI report can be positively related to the value of one or more parameters, or the priority of the CSI report can be negatively related to the value of one or more parameters, which is not limited herein. The following will be specifically described.

[0150] Taking the first type of CSI report, the second type of CSI report and the third type of CSI report as an example, the priority of different types of CSI reports in the CSI report is explained.

[0151] Case 1: The CSI report includes at least one of the first type of CSI report and the second type of CSI report.

[0152] One possible implementation, the priority of the first type of CSI report and the priority of the second type of CSI report are related to the first parameter, the value of the first parameter is negatively related to the priority; the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second type of CSI report. For example, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report is 0, and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second type of CSI report is 1.

[0153] It can be understood that in the scenario where the first type of CSI report and the second type of CSI report are both related to the first parameter, the greater the value of the corresponding first parameter in the type of CSI report, the lower the priority of the type of CSI report. That is, the terminal can report the CSI report in the order of first sending the first type of CSI report, and then sending the second type of CSI report, and in the case of limited uplink resources, the reporting resources of the first type of CSI report are preferentially guaranteed.

[0154] Case 2: The CSI report includes the third type of CSI report, and at least one of the first type of CSI report or the second type of CSI report.

[0155] One possible implementation, the priority of the first type of CSI report, the priority of the second type of CSI report and the priority of the third type of CSI report are related to the first parameter. In this case, the terminal can determine the reporting priority of the first type of CSI report, the second type of CSI report or the third type of CSI report by using the value of the first parameter.

[0156] Optionally, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second type of CSI report; the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is less than or equal to the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report. For example, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is 0, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report is 1, and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second type of CSI report is 2, or the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is 0, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report is 0, and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second type of CSI report is 1.

[0157] It can be understood that, in the case where the first type of CSI report, the second type of CSI report, and the third type of CSI report in the CSI report are all related to the first parameter, the terminal can report the CSI report in the order of first sending the third type of CSI report, then sending the first type of CSI report, and finally sending the second type of CSI report. In the case where the uplink resource is limited, the third type of CSI report is preferentially guaranteed. The terminal can also report the CSI report in the order of first sending the third type of CSI report and the first type of CSI report, and then sending the second type of CSI report, and in the case where the uplink resource is limited, the reporting resources of the third type of CSI report and the first type of CSI report are preferentially guaranteed.

[0158] Optionally, for the above case 1 and case 2, the first type of CSI report includes one or more of a periodically reported first CSI report, an aperiodically reported second CSI report, or a semi-persistently reported third CSI report. The periodically reported first CSI report, the aperiodically reported second CSI report, and the semi-persistently reported third CSI report are described in the foregoing description of the three reporting modes of CSI reporting, and will not be described again.

[0159] In one possible implementation, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report; the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first CSI report; and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first CSI report. For example, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report is 0, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report is 1, and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first CSI report is 2.

[0160] It can be understood that the first type of CSI report is classified into one or more types of CSI reports according to different reporting manners, and the values of the first parameters corresponding to different types of CSI reports are also different, that is, the terminal can report the CSI reports in the order of first sending the second CSI report, then sending the third CSI report, and then sending the first CSI report, so that the reporting resources of the second CSI report are preferentially guaranteed in the case of limited uplink resources.

[0161] Optionally, the third CSI report is a third CSI report reported through a data channel or a third CSI report reported through a control channel, and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report reported through the data channel is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report reported through the control channel. For example, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report reported through the data channel is 0, and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report reported through the control channel is 1.

[0162] It can be understood that the values of the first parameters corresponding to the CSI reports transmitted through different channels are different, and the priority of the CSI report reported through the data channel is higher than that of the CSI report reported through the control channel. For example, in the semi-persistent reporting of the third CSI report, the priority of the third CSI report reported through the data channel is higher than that of the third CSI report reported through the control channel. That is, the terminal can report the CSI reports in the order of first reporting the third CSI report reported through the data channel, and then reporting the third CSI report reported through the control channel, so that the reporting resources of the third CSI report reported through the data channel are preferentially guaranteed in the case of limited uplink resources.

[0163] Optionally, for the above case 2, in the case that the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first CSI report, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report, and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report. For example, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is 0, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report is 1, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report is 2, and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first CSI report is 3.

[0164] It can be understood that, in the case that the first type of CSI report includes CSI reports of multiple different reporting manners, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is greater than that of the CSI reports of multiple different reporting manners in the first type of CSI report, that is, the terminal can report the CSI reports in the order of first sending the third type of CSI report, and then sending the first, second and third CSI reports, so that in the case of limited uplink resources, the reporting resources of the third type of CSI report are preferentially guaranteed.

[0165] Optionally, the third type of CSI report includes one or more of a fourth CSI report of periodic reporting, a fifth CSI report of aperiodic reporting, or a sixth CSI report of semi-persistent reporting; in the case that the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is equal to the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the fourth CSI report is equal to the value of the first parameter corresponding to the first CSI report; the value of the first parameter corresponding to the fifth CSI report is equal to the value of the first parameter corresponding to the second CSI report; and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the sixth CSI report is equal to the value of the first parameter corresponding to the third CSI report. For example, the values of the first parameters corresponding to the second and fifth CSI reports are 1, the values of the first parameters corresponding to the third and sixth CSI reports are 2, and the values of the first parameters corresponding to the first and fourth CSI reports are 3.

[0166] It can be understood that, in the case that the first type of CSI report and the third type of CSI report include CSI reports of multiple different reporting manners, the first parameter corresponding to the third type of CSI report is the same as that corresponding to the same type of CSI report in the first type of CSI report, that is, the terminal can not distinguish between the first type of CSI report and the third type of CSI report when reporting the CSI reports, and report the CSI reports in the order of first sending the second and fifth CSI reports, and then sending the third and sixth CSI reports, and finally sending the first and fourth CSI reports, so that in the case of limited uplink resources, the reporting resources of the second and fifth CSI reports are preferentially guaranteed.

[0167] Case 3: The CSI report includes the third type of CSI report.

[0168] One possible implementation: the third type of CSI report includes one or more of a fourth CSI report of periodic reporting, a fifth CSI report of aperiodic reporting, or a sixth CSI report of semi-persistent reporting. The descriptions of the fourth CSI report of periodic reporting, the fifth CSI report of aperiodic reporting, and the sixth CSI report of semi-persistent reporting can be referred to the corresponding descriptions of the three reporting manners of CSI reporting in the foregoing, and will not be repeated here.

[0169] In a possible implementation, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the fifth CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the sixth CSI report; the value of the first parameter corresponding to the sixth CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the fourth CSI report; and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the fifth CSI report is less than the value of the first parameter corresponding to the fourth CSI report. For example, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the fifth CSI report is 0, the value of the first parameter corresponding to the sixth CSI report is 1, and the value of the first parameter corresponding to the fourth CSI report is 2.

[0170] It can be understood that the values of the first parameters corresponding to different types of CSI reports in one or more types of CSI reports classified according to different reporting manners are also different, that is, the terminal can report the CSI reports in the order of first reporting the fifth CSI report, then reporting the sixth CSI report, and finally reporting the fourth CSI report, so that the reporting resources of the fifth CSI report are preferentially guaranteed in the case of limited uplink resources.

[0171] Optionally, the priority of the third type of CSI report is higher than the priority of the first type of CSI report, and the priority of the third type of CSI report is higher than the priority of the second type of CSI report.

[0172] It can be understood that the terminal can first report the third type of CSI report, and then report the first type of CSI report or the second type of CSI report, to guarantee the reporting resources of the third type of CSI report. In some examples, the priorities of the first type of CSI report, the second type of CSI report, and the third type of CSI report can be related to a first parameter, or related to the first parameter and a second parameter. After the terminal determines the priorities of the CSI reports based on the above parameters, the CSI reports can be sorted according to the priorities of the CSI reports in the above possible implementation manners. In this way, when the priorities of the CSI reports are sorted, the influence of each parameter and the importance of different types of CSI reports are considered, so that the final priority sorting of the CSI reports is more reasonable, and the efficiency of reporting the CSI reports by the terminal is improved.

[0173] Exemplarily, in the case that the CSI report includes the first type of CSI report and the second type of CSI report, the priority of the first type of CSI report is higher than the priority of the second type of CSI report. In the case that the CSI report includes the first type of CSI report and the third type of CSI report, the priority of the third type of CSI report is higher than the priority of the second type of CSI report. In the case that the CSI report includes the second type of CSI report and the third type of CSI report, the priority of the third type of CSI report is higher than the priority of the second type of CSI report. In the case that the CSI report includes the first type of CSI report, the second type of CSI report and the third type of CSI report, the priority of the third type of CSI report is higher than the priority of the first type of CSI report, and the priority of the first type of CSI report is higher than the priority of the second type of CSI report; or the priority of the third type of CSI report is equal to the priority of the first type of CSI report, and the priority of the third type of CSI report and the first type of CSI report is higher than the priority of the second type of CSI report.

[0174] In a possible solution, in the embodiments of the present application, the CSI report can include beam information, and the beam information can be divided into first beam information and second beam information according to different application scenarios, wherein the first beam information is obtained according to an artificial intelligence model, and the second beam information is used for training the artificial intelligence model.

[0175] In some examples, the terminal predicts the beam information through the artificial intelligence model. The beam information can include at least one of a beam identifier or a beam corresponding RSRP.

[0176] Optionally, the prediction processing can include time domain beam information prediction or space domain beam information prediction. The two predictions are described in detail below.

[0177] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 5 , the space domain beam information prediction means that the terminal can predict the beam information of other regions according to the beam information of part of the regions, that is, the terminal can take the beam identifier measured in part of the regions as the input of the artificial intelligence model, and predict the beam identifier of other adjacent regions through the artificial intelligence model, so as to reduce the measurement overhead of the terminal.

[0178] Exemplarily, referring to Figure 1 , the time domain beam information prediction means that the terminal can predict the beam information of the future time domain according to the historical time domain measurement beam information, that is, the terminal can take the historical beam identifier (for example, i t-2 , i t-1 ) measured in the historical time domain as the input of the artificial intelligence model, and predict the future beam identifier (for example, it t+1 ), and beam tracking is performed on future beam identifiers to reduce the measurement overhead of the terminal. The input of the artificial intelligence model can be at least one of the beam identifier or the RSRP, and the output of the artificial intelligence model can be at least one of the beam identifier or the RSRP.

[0179] It can be understood that the time domain beam information prediction and the space domain beam information prediction can be combined with each other. For example, the terminal can predict the beam information of other regions in the future according to the beam information of the historical time domain upper part region. In general, when the beam information prediction is performed by the artificial intelligence model, the input and the output can be adjusted according to actual needs, and no limitation is made herein.

[0180] In some examples, when the first type of CSI report includes first beam information, the priority of the first type of CSI report is also related to a second parameter, the value of the second parameter is negatively related to the priority, and the first beam is a beam associated with the first type of CSI report; when the second type of CSI report includes second beam information, the priority of the second type of CSI report is also related to the second parameter, and the second beam is a beam associated with the second type of CSI report; the value of the second parameter corresponding to the first type of CSI report is smaller than the value of the second parameter corresponding to the second type of CSI report; wherein the first beam information and the second beam information can be the same or different. For example, the value of the second parameter corresponding to the first beam information is 0, and the value of the second parameter corresponding to the second beam information is 1.

[0181] It can be understood that in the scenario where the first type of CSI report includes first beam information, the priority of the first type of CSI report is also related to the second parameter, and in the case where other conditions are unchanged, the smaller the value of the second parameter, the higher the priority of the first type of CSI report. Similarly, in the scenario where the second type of CSI report includes second beam information, the priority of the second type of CSI report is also related to the second parameter, and in the case where other conditions are unchanged, the smaller the value of the second parameter, the higher the priority of the second type of CSI report. That is, in the above scenario, the value of the second parameter corresponding to the first beam information is smaller than the value of the second parameter corresponding to the second beam information, which indicates that the priority of the first beam information is higher than the priority of the second beam information. The terminal can report the beam information in the order of first sending the first beam information and then sending the second beam information, and in the case where the uplink resource is limited, the reporting resource of the first beam information is preferentially guaranteed.

[0182] A possible implementation is based on the above embodiment. In the case where the priority of the CSI report is related to one or more parameters, the priority Pri of the CSI report is iCSI ​The function relationship can be determined by a first parameter, a second parameter, and the like. Taking the first parameter as y and the second parameter as k as an example, the function relationship for determining Pri iCSI The function relationship can be:

[0183] Pri iCSI (y, k, c, s) = 2*Ncells*Ms*y+Ncells*Ms*k+Ms*c+s.

[0184] Wherein, Ncells represents the maximum number of serving cells, Ms represents the maximum number of report configurations, c represents a serving cell index, and s represents a report configuration ID.

[0185] In this application, the value of Pri iCSI is negatively related to the priority of the CSI report, that is, the larger the value of Pri iCSI , the lower the priority, and the smaller the value of Pri iCSI , the higher the priority. Alternatively, the value of Pri iCSI is positively related to the priority of the CSI report, that is, the larger the value of Pri iCSI , the higher the priority, and the smaller the value of Pri iCSI , the lower the priority.

[0186] In order to better understand the method provided in the application, the values of the first parameter and the second parameter in different scenarios are introduced below in combination with the above function relationship.

[0187] A possible implementation, taking the CSI report including a first type of CSI report, a second type of CSI report, and a third type of CSI report, and the priority of the above CSI report being related to the first parameter y as an example. Among them, the first type of CSI report includes a first CSI report reported periodically, a second CSI report reported aperiodically, or a third CSI report reported semi-persistently; the third type of CSI report includes a fourth CSI report reported periodically, a fifth CSI report reported aperiodically, or a sixth CSI report reported semi-persistently.

[0188] In an example, the second CSI report and the fifth CSI report correspond to y=0; the third CSI report and the sixth CSI report are carried on PUSCH and correspond to y=1; the third CSI report and the sixth CSI report are carried on PUCCH and correspond to y=2; the first CSI report and the fourth CSI report correspond to y=3; and the second type of CSI report corresponds to y=4.

[0189] In an example, the second CSI report corresponds to y=0; the third CSI report corresponds to y=1 when carried on PUSCH; the third CSI report corresponds to y=2 when carried on PUCCH; the first CSI report corresponds to y=3. The fifth CSI report corresponds to y=0; the sixth CSI report corresponds to y=1 when carried on PUSCH; the sixth CSI report corresponds to y=2 when carried on PUCCH; the fourth CSI report corresponds to y=3; the second type of CSI report corresponds to y=4.

[0190] In an example, the second CSI report corresponds to y=0; the third CSI report corresponds to y=1 when carried on PUSCH; the third CSI report corresponds to y=2 when carried on PUCCH; the first CSI report corresponds to y=3. The fifth CSI report corresponds to y=0; the sixth CSI report corresponds to y=1 when carried on PUSCH; the sixth CSI report corresponds to y=2 when carried on PUCCH; the fourth CSI report corresponds to y=3; the second type of CSI report corresponds to y=4.

[0191] In a possible implementation, the CSI report includes a first type of CSI report, a second type of CSI report, and a third type of CSI report, and the priority of the CSI report is related to at least one of a first parameter y or a second parameter k. The third type of CSI report includes at least one of L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, the first type of CSI report includes first beam information, and the second type of CSI report includes second beam information.

[0192] In an example, the CSI report carrying L1-RSRP or L1-SINR corresponds to k=0; the CSI report not carrying L1-RSRP and L1-SINR corresponds to k=1; the first beam information corresponds to k=0, and the second beam information corresponds to k=2.

[0193] In an example, the second CSI report corresponds to y=0; the third CSI report corresponds to y=1 when carried on PUSCH; the third CSI report corresponds to y=2 when carried on PUCCH; the first CSI report corresponds to y=3; the first beam information reported aperiodically corresponds to y=4; the second CSI report reported aperiodically corresponds to y=5; the second type of CSI report corresponds to y=6.

[0194] In some possible solutions, referring to Figure 6 The channel state information reporting method further includes the following steps.

[0195] S500: The network device sends first indication information to the terminal. Correspondingly, the terminal receives the first indication information sent by the network device.

[0196] The first indication information indicates that a first priority strategy is used to determine the priority of the first type of CSI report or the priority of the second type of CSI report, or the first indication information indicates that a second priority strategy is used to determine the priority of the third type of CSI report, and the first priority strategy is the same as or different from the second priority strategy.

[0197] It can be understood that the terminal can determine the priority of different types of CSI reports according to different priority strategies. Different priority strategies on the terminal correspond to different types of CSI reports. The terminal can receive first indication information from the network device, and determine which priority strategy is used to determine the priority of the CSI report based on the first indication information. Optionally, the first indication information includes quantity information of CSI reports using the first priority strategy, and can also include quantity information of CSI reports using the second priority strategy.

[0198] For example, the first indication information indicates that N1 third type of CSI reports are configured, and N2 first type of CSI reports or second type of CSI reports are configured. Then, before reporting the CSI reports, the terminal first performs priority sorting on the N1 CSI reports according to the second priority strategy, and performs priority sorting on the N2 CSI reports according to the first priority strategy. The priority of the N2 first type or second type of CSI reports is lower than that of the N1 third type of CSI reports. The first priority strategy can be any one of the methods for determining the priority of the first type of CSI report and the second type of CSI report in the foregoing embodiments, and the second priority strategy can be any one of the methods for determining the priority of the third type of CSI report in the foregoing embodiments. Of course, the first priority strategy or the second priority strategy can also be other strategies that can achieve the determination of the priority of the CSI report, which is not limited herein.

[0199] Optionally, the first priority strategy can be any one of the methods for determining the priority of the first type of CSI report and the second type of CSI report in the above case 1, and the second priority strategy can be any one of the methods for determining the priority of the third type of CSI report in the foregoing embodiments.

[0200] In specific applications, the network device can also not send the first indication information to the terminal, and the terminal can determine which priority strategy is used to determine the priority of the CSI report according to the type of the CSI report. In addition, the terminal can also determine which priority strategy is used by other methods that can achieve the above purpose, which is not limited herein.

[0201] The various embodiments mentioned in the foregoing of the present application can be combined without limitation as long as the schemes are not contradictory.

[0202] The above mainly introduces the scheme provided by the present application from the perspective of interaction between various network elements. Correspondingly, the present application further provides a communication apparatus, which can be a terminal in the above method embodiments, or an apparatus comprising the above terminal, or a component applicable to the terminal. It can be understood that the above terminal and the like comprise corresponding hardware structures and / or software modules for executing various functions in order to achieve the above functions.

Those skilled in the art can use different methods to realize the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered beyond the scope of the present application.

[0203] The present application can divide the functional modules of the terminal or network equipment according to the above method examples, for example, each functional module can be divided according to each function, or two or more functions can be integrated in one processing module. The above integrated module can be realized in the form of hardware or software functional module. It can be understood that the division of modules in the present application is illustrative, and is only a logical function division. Actual implementation can have another division manner.

[0204] For example, in the case of dividing each functional module in an integrated manner, Figure 7 A structural schematic diagram of a communication apparatus 110 is shown.

For example, the processing module 1102 is configured to perform the method in S501.
