Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to reporting methods, configuration methods and apparatuses, devices, media, chips, and modules.

Background Art

[0002] Channel State Information (CSI) is the channel characteristic of a wireless communication link, which describes the fading factor of the signal in each transmission path, that is, the value of each element in the channel gain matrix H. For example, it describes information such as signal scattering, multi-path fading or shadowing fading, and power decay due to distance.

[0003] In the 3rd generation partnership project (3GPP) new radio (NR) release 15 (R15) / R16 protocol, beam measurement and reporting are supported, and the beam is represented by a reference signal. For beam measurement and CSI reporting based on a non-beam group, the CSI report can include one or more reference signal indexes and the corresponding measurement results L1-RSRP (reference signal received power) value or L1-SINR (signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio) value. In the R15 / R16 protocol, CSI measurement and reporting based on a beam group are also supported, but one CSI report includes only one beam group, and one CSI is associated with only one resource set.

[0004] In R17, in order to further optimize and complete the beam management mechanism, beam enhancement in a multiple Transmission and Reception Point (TRP) scenario is being standardized, but there is no specific technical solution regarding the specific content of CSI reporting.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0052] Here, exemplary embodiments are described in detail, and examples are shown in the drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, unless otherwise specified, the same numbers in different drawings indicate the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the exemplary embodiments below do not represent all embodiments that are consistent with this application. On the contrary, they are only examples of devices and methods that are consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0053] In addition, in this specification, terms such as "comprising", "including" or other variants are intended to cover and do not exclude the inclusion of other components. Therefore, a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or further includes other elements specific to the process, method, article or device. Unless otherwise limited, the presence of another same element in a process, method, article or device comprising an element limited by the phrase "comprising..." is not excluded. Also, components, features, elements with the same naming in different embodiments of this application may have the same meaning or different meanings, and their specific meanings are determined based on the interpretation in their specific embodiments or in connection with the context in their specific embodiments.

[0054] In addition, in this specification, although various types of information can be described using terms such as first, second, third, etc., these pieces of information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information. For example, unless departing from the scope of the specification, the first piece of information may be referred to as the second piece of information, and similarly, the second piece of information may be referred to as the first piece of information. Depending on the context, the term "case" used here can be interpreted as "when...", "upon...", or "in response to determining...". Also, as used in this specification, unless otherwise indicated by the context, the singular forms "a", "one", and "the" are intended to include the plural forms. Furthermore, the terms "including" and "comprising" indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, types, and / or groups, but do not exclude the presence, occurrence, or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, items, types, and / or groups. The terms "or" and "and / or" used here are interpreted as inclusive and mean any one or any combination. Thus, "A, B, or C" or "A, B, and / or C" means "any of A, B, C, A and B, A and C, B and C, A and B and C". Exceptions to the above definitions occur only when combinations of elements, functions, steps, or operations are inherently mutually exclusive in some way.

[0055] Note that although each step in the flowchart according to the embodiment of the present application is described sequentially according to the arrows, it should be understood that these steps are not necessarily executed sequentially according to the arrows. Unless otherwise specified in this specification, the execution of these steps is not strictly limited to that order, and these steps may be executed in other orders. Furthermore, at least some of the steps in the drawings may include a plurality of sub-steps or a plurality of stages, and these sub-steps or stages are not necessarily executed and completed simultaneously, and may be executed at different times. Also, these sub-steps or stages are not necessarily executed sequentially, and may be executed in order or alternately with at least some of other steps or sub-steps or stages in other steps.

[0056] Note that step numbers such as 110 and 120 are used in this specification for the purpose of expressing the corresponding content more clearly and concisely, and do not constitute a substantial limitation in terms of order. A person skilled in the art can execute 120 first and then 110 in a specific implementation, etc. All of these are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0057] In the following description, the use of subscripts to represent elements such as "module", "component", or "unit" is only advantageous for the description of the present application, and they do not have specific meanings themselves.

[0074] The network configuration information can be transmitted by a network device.

[0075] Optionally, the network configuration information can further include one or more resource sets associated with the CSI report, and each of the one or more resource sets is a resource set or a resource subset. The CSI report may be a CSI report reported by a terminal device to a network device.

[0076] Optionally, the CSI report configuration information can include one or more of beam pair / group-based beam report enable / disable information, number N, and number M. The beam pair / group-based beam report enable / disable information can be used to configure whether the CSI report is a beam pair / group-based beam report. When the CSI report is a beam pair / group-based beam report, that is, when the configuration information includes beam pair / group-based beam report enable information, it is shown that the terminal device can simultaneously receive different beams included in one beam pair / group. The N is used to indicate the number of beam pairs / groups, N is a positive integer, the M is used to indicate the maximum number of beam pairs / groups, and M is a positive integer.

[0077] 220: Obtain a CSI report based on the CSI report configuration information.

[0078] Specifically, after receiving the network configuration information transmitted by the network device, the terminal device can measure one or more beams or reference signals based on the CSI report configuration information in the network configuration information and determine the CSI report.

[0079] Optionally, when the CSI reporting configuration information includes a number N, it is shown that the number of beam pairs / groups that need to be reported by the terminal device is determined by the network device. The CSI report can include measurement results of N beam pairs / groups, and the N beam pairs / groups include a first beam pair / group and a second beam pair / group. The second beam pair / group is any beam pair / group other than the first beam pair / group among the N beam pairs / groups. For example, when N is 3, the N beam pairs / groups can include beam pair / group 1, beam pair / group 2, and beam pair / group 3. If the first beam pair / group is beam pair / group 1, the second beam pair / group can be either beam pair / group 2 or beam pair / group 3.

[0080] The first beam pair / group can be represented by a first reference signal and a second reference signal.

[0081] The measurement result of the first beam pair / group is a first RSRP value that corresponds to the first reference signal and is a reference signal received power (RSRP) value for reference, a differential RSRP value of the second reference signal with respect to the first RSRP value, a first SINR value that corresponds to the first reference signal and is a signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) value for reference, a differential SINR value of the second reference signal with respect to the first SINR value, an index of the first resource set or an index of the second resource set, and can include one or more of an index of a resource corresponding to the first reference signal and an index of a resource corresponding to the second reference signal. The above first RSRP value can be used as a reference RSRP value, and the RSRP values of other reference signals are RSRP difference values relative to the first RSRP value. The above RSRP value is an L1-RSRP value, that is, it can be the RSRP value of the physical layer or layer 1. The above SINR value is an L1-SINR value, that is, it can be the SINR value of the physical layer or layer 1. The above first resource set and second resource set can belong to one or more resource sets, and the second resource set is any resource set other than the first resource set among one or more resource sets.

[0082] Optionally, when the measurement result of the above first beam pair / group includes the index of the first resource set, the resource corresponding to the first reference signal belongs to the first resource set, and the resource corresponding to the second reference signal belongs to the second resource set. The index of the first resource set is used to indicate that the first reference signal belongs to the first resource set.

[0083] Optionally, when the measurement result of the above first beam pair / group includes the index of the second resource set, the resource corresponding to the first reference signal belongs to the second resource set, and the resource corresponding to the second reference signal belongs to the third resource set. The index of the second resource set is used to indicate that the first reference signal belongs to the second resource set, and the third resource set is any resource set other than the second resource set among one or more resource sets.

[0084] Note that the measurement result of the above first beam pair / group can include one of the index of the first resource set and the index of the second resource set. In an actual application, whether to include the index of the first resource set or the index of the second resource set can be determined by a network device or a terminal device.

[0085] Also, the second beam pair / group can be represented by a third reference signal and a fourth reference signal. The measurement results of the second beam pair / group are the differential RSRP value of the third reference signal with respect to the first RSRP value, and the differential RSRP value of the fourth reference signal with respect to the first RSRP value, the differential SINR value of the third reference signal with respect to the first SINR value, and the differential SINR value of the fourth reference signal with respect to the first SINR value, and can include one or more of the index of the resource corresponding to the third reference signal and the index of the resource corresponding to the fourth reference signal.

[0086] The first reference signal and the third reference signal are from the same resource set, and the second reference signal and the fourth reference signal are from the same resource set.

[0087] Optionally, the first reference signal and the second reference signal are from different resource sets, and the third reference signal and the fourth reference signal are from different resource sets.

[0088] For example, assume that N included in the CSI report configuration information is 2, and the CSI report is associated with two resource sets, namely, resource set 1 {resources corresponding to resource index 10, resources corresponding to resource index 11, resources corresponding to resource index 12, resources corresponding to resource index 13}, and resource set 2 {resources corresponding to resource index 20, resources corresponding to resource index 21, resources corresponding to resource index 22, resources corresponding to resource index 23}. The terminal device obtains the CSI report through measurement. The two beams or reference signals included in beam pair / group 1 (corresponding to the first beam pair / group) included in the CSI report are respectively from the resource corresponding to resource index 10 in resource set 1 and from the resource corresponding to resource index 22 in resource set 2. The two beams or reference signals included in beam pair / group 2 (corresponding to the second beam pair / group) included in the CSI report are respectively from the resource corresponding to resource index 11 in resource set 1 and from the resource corresponding to resource index 23 in resource set 2. The value of L1-RSRP or L1-SINR corresponding to the resource corresponding to resource index 10 in resource set 1 can be the maximum value, the minimum value, or any value. The terminal device can use the L1-RSRP or L1-SINR corresponding to the resource corresponding to resource index 10 in resource set 1 as the reference L1-RSRP or reference L1-SINR. Assume that beam pair / group 1 is represented by reference signal 10 and reference signal 22, and beam pair / group 2 is represented by reference signal 11 and reference signal 23. The CSI reported by the terminal device can include {index of resource set 1, resource index 10, RSRP value 1, resource index 22, differential RSRP value 1, resource index 11, differential RSRP value 2, resource index 23, differential RSRP value 3}.

[0089] (Index of resource set 1, resource index 10, RSRP value 1, resource index 22, differential RSRP value 1) corresponds to the measurement result of beam pair / group 1, and (resource index 11, differential RSRP value 2, resource index 23, differential RSRP value 3) corresponds to the measurement result of beam pair / group 2.

[0090] RSRP value 1 is a reference RSRP value, which is the RSRP value of reference signal 10 in beam pair / group 1. Differential RSRP value 1 is the differential RSRP value of the RSRP value of reference signal 22 in beam pair / group 1 with respect to the RSRP value 1. Differential RSRP value 2 is the differential RSRP value of the RSRP value of reference signal 11 in beam pair / group 2 with respect to the RSRP value 1, and so on.

[0091] Optionally, when the CSI reporting configuration information includes several M, it is shown that the number of beam pairs / groups that need to be reported by the terminal device is determined spontaneously and dynamically by the terminal device. If the terminal device can determine spontaneously and dynamically the number of beam pairs / groups that need to be reported, the CSI report can include two parts: the first part and the second part.

[0092] Optionally, the first part can include one or more of the number K and the measurement results of the third beam pair / group. The K is less than or equal to M or T, and the K is used to indicate the number of one or more beam pairs / groups included in the CSI report, and the K is a positive integer. The T can be obtained from the capability information of the terminal device and can indicate the maximum number of beam pairs / groups included in one CSI report supported by the terminal device, and the T is a positive integer. The third beam pair / group is any one of one or more beam pairs / groups.

[0093] The third beam pair / group can be represented by a fifth reference signal and a sixth reference signal. The measurement result of the third beam pair / group is a second RSRP value corresponding to the fifth reference signal and being a reference RSRP value, and a differential RSRP value of the sixth reference signal with respect to the second RSRP value, a second SINR value corresponding to the fifth reference signal and being a reference SINR value, and a differential SINR value of the sixth reference signal with respect to the second SINR value, an index of a fourth resource set or an index of a fifth resource set, and can include one or more of an index of a resource corresponding to the fifth reference signal and an index of a resource corresponding to the sixth reference signal. The second RSRP value can be regarded as one reference RSRP value, and the RSRP values of other reference signals are RSRP difference values with respect to the second RSRP value. The RSRP value can be an L1-RSRP value, that is, a RSRP value of the physical layer or layer 1. The SINR value can be an L1-SINR value, that is, a SINR value of the physical layer or layer 1. The fourth resource set and the fifth resource set belong to one or more resource sets, and the fifth resource set is any resource set other than the fourth resource set among one or more resource sets.

[0094] Optionally, when the measurement result of the third beam pair / group includes an index of a fourth resource set, the resource corresponding to the fifth reference signal belongs to the fourth resource set, the resource corresponding to the sixth reference signal belongs to the fifth resource set, and the index of the fourth resource set is used to indicate that the fifth reference signal belongs to the fourth resource set.

[0095] Optionally, when the measurement result of the third beam pair / group includes an index of a fifth resource set, the resource corresponding to the fifth reference signal belongs to the fifth resource set, and the resource corresponding to the sixth reference signal isSixth belongs to the fifth resource set. The index of the fifth resource set is used to indicate that the fifth reference signal belongs to the fifth resource set, and the sixth resource set is any one of the one or more resource sets other than the fifth resource set.

[0096] Note that the measurement result of the third beam pair / group can include one of the index of the fourth resource set and the index of the fifth resource set. In an actual application, whether to include the index of the fourth resource set or the index of the fifth resource set can be determined by the network device or the terminal device.

[0097] Optionally, the second part can include one or more measurement results of the fourth beam pair / group. The fourth beam pair / group can be any one of the one or more beam pairs / groups other than the third beam pair / group.

[0098] Optionally, the fourth beam pair / group can be represented by the seventh reference signal and the eighth reference signal. The measurement result of the fourth beam pair / group is the differential RSRP value of the seventh reference signal with respect to the second RSRP value and the differential RSRP value of the eighth reference signal with respect to the second RSRP value, the differential SINR value of the seventh reference signal with respect to the second SINR value and the differential SINR value of the eighth reference signal with respect to the second SINR value, and can include one or more of the index of the resource corresponding to the seventh reference signal and the index of the resource corresponding to the eighth reference signal.

[0099] The fifth reference signal and the seventh reference signal are from the same resource set, and the sixth reference signal and the eighth reference signal are from the same resource set.

[0100] Optionally, the fifth reference signal and the sixth reference signal are from different resource sets, and the seventh reference signal and the eighth reference signal are from different resource sets.

[0101] For example, assume that M included in the CSI report configuration information is 4, K determined by the terminal device is 2, and the CSI report is associated with two resource sets, namely, resource set 1 {resources corresponding to resource index 10, resources corresponding to resource index 11, resources corresponding to resource index 12, resources corresponding to resource index 13}, and resource set 2 {resources corresponding to resource index 20, resources corresponding to resource index 21, resources corresponding to resource index 22, resources corresponding to resource index 23}. The terminal acquires the CSI report through measurement. The two beams or reference signals included in beam pair / group 1 (corresponding to the first beam pair / group above) are respectively from the resource corresponding to resource index 10 in resource set 1 and the resource corresponding to resource index 22 in resource set 2. The two beams or reference signals included in beam pair / group 2 (corresponding to the second beam pair / group above) are respectively from the resource corresponding to resource index 11 in resource set 1 and the resource corresponding to resource index 23 in resource set 2. The value of L1-RSRP or L1-SINR corresponding to the resource corresponding to resource index 10 in resource set 1 is the maximum value, the minimum value, or any value. The L1-RSRP or L1-SINR corresponding to the resource corresponding to resource index 10 in resource set 1 can be used as the reference L1-RSRP or reference L1-SINR. Assume that beam pair / group 1 is represented by reference signal 10 and reference signal 22, and beam pair / group 2 is represented by reference signal 11 and reference signal 23. The CSI reported by the terminal device can include the following first part and second part.

[0102] First part: number K, index of resource set 1, resource index 10, RSRP value 1, resource index 22, differential RSRP value 1.

[0103] Second part: resource index 11, differential RSRP value 2, resource index 23, differential RSRP value 3.

[0104] (Index of resource set 1, resource index 10, RSRP value 1, resource index 22, differential RSRP value 1) corresponds to the measurement result of beam pair / group 1, and (resource index 11, differential RSRP value 2, resource index 23, differential RSRP value 3) corresponds to the measurement result of beam pair / group 2.

[0105] RSRP value 1 is a reference RSRP value, differential RSRP value 1 is the differential RSRP value of the RSRP value of reference signal 22 in beam pair / group 1 with respect to the RSRP value 1, differential RSRP value 2 is the differential RSRP value of the RSRP value of reference signal 11 in beam pair / group 2 with respect to the RSRP value 1, and so on by analogy.
