AI Technical Summary
In multiple-transmission-and-reception-point (MTRP) scenarios, existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently reporting channel state information (CSI) due to differences in Doppler and delay parameters from various transmission and reception points.
The proposed solution involves configuring specific numbers of CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resource groups and transmission occasions, allowing for Doppler or delay reporting. This includes defining CSI-RS resources associated with each transmission and reception point, enabling accurate CSI reporting.

[0027] The example headings for the various sections below are used to facilitate the understanding of the disclosed subject matter and do not limit the scope of the claimed subject matter in any way. Accordingly, one or more features of one example section can be combined with one or more features of another example section. Furthermore, 5G terminology is used for the sake of clarity of explanation, but the techniques disclosed in the present document are not limited to 5G technology only and may be used in wireless systems that implemented other protocols.
[0028] I. Introduction
[0029] The present patent document describes how a wireless device reports channel state information (CSI) , especially in a multiple-transmission-and-reception-point (MTRP) scenario with a Doppler reporting or a delay reporting.
[0030] In the downlink (DL) transmission, a channel states information (CSI) reporting is configured, and a number of channel states information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources are configured. When user equipment (UE) receives this CSI reporting configuration, UE will measure the related CSI resource and will report the related information according to the configured CSI-RS or synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel (PBCH) block (SSB) . But in some scenarios, such as a transmission with multiple transmission and reception points (multi-TRPs, or MTRPs) , UE receives physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from the multiple TRPs. The Doppler and delay related parameters from different TRPs may be different. For a single frequency network (SFN) or a coherent joint transmission (CJT) , two TRPs transmit the same or jointly transmit the PDSCH, especially in the same cases with the same PDSCH. The g-NodeB (gNB) side needs the related Doppler or delay information. Whether and how to inform gNB the related Doppler and delay information should be further considered.
[0031] As shown in FIG. 1, in a CJT or SFN transmission, two or more TRPs transmit the same PDSCH to one UE on the same time domain and frequency domain resources.
[0032] For each CSI resource configuration, one or more CSI resource is configured, and for each CSI resource, at least one CSI-RS or SSB set is configured, and one or more CSI-RS or SSB resources can be configured in one CSI-RS or SSB resource set. UE measures the related reference signal (RS) and will report the related parameters.
[0033] In the current specification, the CSI reporting quantity includes at least one of:
[0034] CSI-RS resource index-rank index-precoding matrix index-channel quality index (cri-RI-PMI-CQI) ,
[0035] cri-RI-PMI-CQI,
[0036] cri-RI-i1,
[0037] cri-RI-i1-CQI,
[0038] cri-RI-CQI,
[0039] cri-RSRP (reference signal received power) ,
[0040] ssb-Index-RSRP,
[0041] cri-RI-LI-PMI-CQI (LI Layer Indicator) .
[0042] In the current specification, a related Doppler-CSI is supported. If Doppler-CSI is configured, the UE can get some channel or precoding information according to the Doppler-CSI. But the Doppler-CSI does not relate to any reporting about Doppler.
[0043] II. Embodiment 1
[0044] UE receives a CSI reporting configuration from gNB, the CSI resource configured in the CSI reporting configuration includes a number of reference signal resource sets.
[0045] UE measures the reference signal configured in the reference signal resource set and performs CSI reporting.
[0046] The CSI reporting can be configured as a Doppler report. The Doppler can be Doppler shift or Doppler spread.
[0047] When the CSI reporting is configured or indicated for Doppler reporting, one CSI-RS resource set can be configured.
[0048] For a MTRP transmission, e.g., CJT from MTRPs, a number of CSI-RS resources can be configured in the one CSI-RS resource set, each of the CSI-RS resource or resource group is associated with one TRP or Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state. The number of CSI-RS resources can be 4 or 12 for CJT based downlink MTRP transmission.
[0049] For an aperiodic CSI-RS (AP-CSI-RS) , the CSI-RS parameters are configured by a higher layer parameter radio resource control (RRC) and triggered by Downlink Control Information (DCI) . For the CSI-RS configuration, an interval between the neighboring CSI-RS transmission occasion is configured or predefined as m symbols and the number of transmission occasion is configured or predefined as X. One transmission occasion can be one transmission of one CSI-RS resource. X can be the total transmission occasions, e.g., the number of CSI-RS resources, or the number of CSI-RS resources with a number of transmissions for each CSI-RS resource, or the number of CSI-RS resources in a group, e.g., a burst, or the number of transmission groups, e.g., bursts. One CSI-RS resource is associated with one transmission occasion.
[0050] The density in frequency domain is configured as 0.5 or 0.25, i.e. in the frequency domain, CSI-RS is configured in each 2 or 4 resource elements (REs) or Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) .
[0051] For AP-CSI-RS: (up to 12 CSI-RS resources in Doppler-CSI)
[0052] m represents the interval (unit: symbol (s) ) of neighboring CSI-RS transmission occasions.
[0053] X represents the number of transmission occasions (bursts) .
[0054] Density = 0.5 / 0.25 (1 or 3 for 1-port CSI-RS) , X > 4 or 6.
[0055] For the value of m and X, it can be described as one of the following:
[0056] 1) m represents the interval of neighboring CSI-RS transmission occasions, where each transmission occasion is associated with the same CSI-RS resource in a burst, i.e., in a burst all the CSI-RSs are from the same CSI-RS resource. And X represents a total number of repetitions for one CSI-RS resource. And a parameter Y represents the number of bursts. In this case, Y is equal to the number of CSI-RS resources. A parameter Z represents an interval of neighboring CSI-RS resources. FIG. 2 shows CSI-RS resource mapping with the same CSI-RS resources in one burst. In some cases, Z can be the same as m, as shown in FIG. 2.
[0057] 2) m represents the interval of neighboring CSI-RS transmission occasions, where each transmission occasion is associated with different CSI-RS resources in a burst, i.e., in a burst all the CSI-RSs are from different CSI-RS resources. And X represents a total number of repetitions for one CSI-RS resource. And a parameter Y represents the number of bursts, as shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 shows CSI-RS resource mapping with different CSI-RS resources in one burst. The solid lines in FIGS. 3-9 show CSI-RS resource 1. The dotted lines in FIGS. 3-9 show CSI-RS resource 2. The short-dashed lines in FIGS. 3-9 show CSI-RS resource 3. The long-dashed line in FIGS. 3-9 show CSI-RS resource 4.
[0058] 3) m represents the interval of neighboring CSI-RS transmission occasions, where each transmission occasion is associated with the same CSI-RS resource of the neighboring bursts. And X represents a total number of repetitions for one CSI-RS resource, i.e., the number of bursts. And a parameter Z represents an interval of neighboring CSI-RS resources, as shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 4 shows CSI-RS resource mapping with interval from different bursts.
[0059] 4) m represents the interval of neighboring CSI-RS transmission occasions, where each transmission occasion is associated with the same CSI-RS resource or different CSI-RS resources. And X represents a total number of transmission occasions, where X is the number of CSI-RS multiplied by the number of transmission occasions of one CSI-RS. In some cases, such as CSI-RS for tracking / Tracking Reference Signal (TRS) , the number of transmission occasions of one TRS can be 1, as shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 5 shows CSI-RS resource mapping with 8 resources.
[0060] 5) m represents the interval of neighboring CSI-RS transmission occasions, where each transmission occasion is associated with the same CSI-RS resource or different CSI-RS resources. And X represents a total number of transmission occasions, where a group of CSI-RS resources is associated with one TRP or TCI state. The X transmission occasion is associated with M CSI-RS resources, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. FIG. 6 shows CSI-RS resource mapping with 8 resources with 2 groups. FIG. 7 shows CSI-RS resource mapping with 8 resources with 2 sets. 4 transmission occasions are associated with 2 groups and each group is associated with one TRP. In some other cases, 8 transmission occasions with 2 groups, 6 transmission occasions with 2 groups, 8 transmission occasions with 4 groups, 12 transmission occasion with 2 or 3 or 4 groups can also be supported.
[0061] The main purpose to use such pattern and resources for CJT is to acquire the Doppler related reporting for each TRP or for the difference of the other TRPs compared with the reference TRP. If TRS is configured to be used for this purpose, a parameter ‘TRS-info’ should not be configured together with the TRS for reporting. Because the ‘TRS-info’ is used for frequency and time offset, and this is not needed for Doppler or Delay reporting. Hence the ‘TRS-info’ should not be configured together with TRS for reporting.
[0062] In some cases, the interval of neighboring bursts is determined by the time domain density of bursts, e.g., the density in time domain is configured as 0.5 or 0.25, i.e., in the time domain, CSI-RS is configured in each 2 or 4 symbols or slots.
[0063] In some cases, the interval of neighboring transmission occasions or CSI-RS resources or resource groups or resource sets is determined by the time domain density of bursts, e.g., the density in time domain is configured as 0.5 or 0.25, i.e., in the time domain, CSI-RS is configured in each 2 or 4 symbols or slots.
[0064] In some cases, the interval of neighboring transmission occasions or CSI-RS resources or resource groups or resource sets is determined by the frequency domain density of bursts, e.g., the density in frequency domain is configured as 0.5 or 0.25, i.e., in the frequency domain, CSI-RS is configured in each 2 or 4 resource elements (REs) or Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) .
[0065] For periodic and semi-persistent configurations, the configuration for aperiodic CSI-RS can also be reused.
[0066] The number of CSI-RS resource sets is configured as more than one. Each of the configured CSI-RS is associated with one TRP or one TCI state.
[0067] In each CSI-RS resource set, a number of CSI-RS resources are configured. For each CSI-RS resource set, if the CSI-RS is configured as periodic or semi-persistent, the number of CSI-RS resources is configured as 1 or 2 or 4. For aperiodic CSI-RS, the number of CSI-RS resources should be more than 1.
[0068] If TRS is configured for a group of CSI-RS resources in one CSI-RS resource set or a number of CSI-RS resource sets, and each group / set is associated with one TRP or TCI state. Different TRS resources or resource sets can be mapped in a slot with different Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. Or different TRS resources or resource sets can be mapped in different slots. A time domain offset with symbol or slot based granularity can be configured or predefined for different groups or resource sets.
[0069] Different resources in one CSI-RS group or resource set can be neighboring resources as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, or one CSI-RS resource for one group or set is neighboring with another CSI-RS resource for another group or set, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9. FIG. 8 shows crossed mapping for a number of groups. FIG. 9 shows crossed mapping for a number of sets.
[0070] If more than one CSI-RS resource group or resource set is configured, a time duration should be configured or predefined. In one time duration, the frequency offset or delay offset are treated as not changed heavily, so the frequency offset (Doppler shift or spread) estimated by different resources in the time duration is effective, or the resources out of the time duration should not be used to estimate the frequency offset with the resource in one time duration, e.g., in a burst or out of a burst.
[0071] For CSI-RS resource groups or sets associated with different TCI states or TRPs, one reference CSI-RS group or set should be determined, configured, or predefined, e.g., the group or set with lower or lowest index. For the time domain pattern determination, a time domain offset can be configured or predefined between the neighboring groups or sets or resources in a group or set or the time domain offset is configured or predefined between the related group or set and the reference group or set. The time domain offset can be based on a number of OFDM symbols or slots. In some cases, the time domain offset is a number of OFDM symbols or slots compared with the first CSI-RS resource in each group or set. The CSI-RS resources in one group is configured in one slot, different groups or sets can be configured a number of OFDM symbols offset in the same slot or neighboring slot or a number of slot offset. The CSI-RS resources in one group is configured across two slots. Different groups are mapped on different slots or symbols.
[0072] III. Embodiment 2
[0073] The delay related parameters can be configured in the CSI reporting. One CSI-RS resource set can be configured, and a number of CSI-RS resources can be configured in the one CSI-RS resource set, and each of the CSI-RS resources corresponds to one TRP or TCI state.
[0074] In some cases, a number of transmission occasions are configured or predefined, where the transmission occasions can be from the same CSI-RS resource or the neighboring different CSI-RS resources. For the CSI-RS configured as periodic or semi-persistence or aperiodic, the interval of neighboring CSI-RS transmission occasions should be 1, i.e., the transmission of CSI-RS is transmitted on consecutive symbols.
[0075] If the transmission occasion is more than one in a burst, e.g., 2 transmission occasions, and each is associated with one CSI-RS resource, the frequency domain resources can be with the same resource element (RE) or resource block (RB) index or with a comb offset, as shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 shows CSI-RS with a frequency domain comb offset. The tilted-square areas in FIG. 10 show OFDM #1. The rectangular areas in FIG. 10 show OFDM #2.
[0076] In FIG. 10, one CSI-RS resource is mapped with comb=4, i.e., one from four REs is used to map the one CSI-RS resource. If more than one transmission occasion is configured, i.e., consecutive OFDM symbols for two CSI-RS resources, a comb offset in frequency domain is supported, i.e., 1 RE in FIG. 10.
[0077] The frequency domain density can be 1, 2, or 4, i.e., comb= 1, 2, or 4. The frequency domain density can be fixed as one of 1, 2, or 4, or can be configured by RRC.
[0078] The other REs on the symbol that mapped CSI-RS resource should not be used to map data, in order not to introduce too much interference for delay estimation, at least for the RE with the same indexes with the REs that mapped other CSI-RS resources on other OFDM symbols.
[0079] IV. Embodiment 3
[0080] The CSI-RS resource can be configured as below.
[0081] The resources are configured as introduced above, the related parameters can be one reference resource or all the configured resources, with at least one of:
[0082] Time domain and / or frequency domain resources used to map the CSI-RS resources;
[0083] Time and / or frequency density;
[0084] Time domain symbol / slot interval between two neighboring resources;
[0085] Time domain symbol / slot interval between two transmission occasions of one resource;
[0086] A number of bursts;
[0087] A number of CSI-RS resources in a burst;
[0088] A number of transmission occasions in a burst;
[0089] An interval of neighboring bursts;
[0090] A frequency domain comb offset based on OFDM symbols.
[0091] For example, if up to 8 resources are configured, the time domain resources can be {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} or other symbol combinations with the symbol interval of 1 OFDM symbol. Also the TRS can be configured to use other symbol intervals, such as 4. The first resource can be mapped on OFDM symbol#1 and the second can be mapped on #4, the third can be mapped on #7 and the forth can be mapped on#11 of the first slot. It should be noted that the interval can be the same within a burst, i.e., the 8 resources with the same interval, and the fifth resource should be mapped on symbol#0 of the second slot, which is 4 symbols interval from the fourth resource. Another mapping rule is the interval is the same in one slot in the burst, i.e., the fifth resource is mapped on OFDM symbol#1 of the second slot which is the same index with the first slot. It can also determine by the time domain density as 4, i.e., 4 symbols interval of the neighboring CSI-RS resources.
[0092] If one resource in configured with multiple transmissions, the transmission interval can be the same as the interval between different CSI-RS resources, or another interval should be defined.
[0093] Similarly, if a number of bursts is introduced, the interval between the neighboring bursts should be also defined. It can be based on OFDM symbol or slot, i.e., 2 slots between the two neighboring bursts.
[0094] For Doppler CSI reporting, the frequency domain resources for mapping the CSI-RS resource can be the same, e.g., one RE from four REs. But for delay CSI reporting, the density should be configured. The same frequency domain density can be supported for different CSI-RE resources, and the comb offset can be configured for different CSI-RE resources if needed.
[0095] Data (e.g., PDSCH) should not be mapped on the same REs on the same OFDM symbols with any one of the CSI-RS resources or CSI-RS ports from the same or different groups or sets for Doppler and / or delay reporting.
[0096] V. Embodiment 4
[0097] If Doppler and Delay is configured for CSI reporting, a number of CSI-RS resources or resource sets are configured for different TRPs.
[0098] The CSI-RS resources in one CSI-RS group or resource set should be mapped with time domain interval of 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 OFDM symbols, and in 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 REs in frequency domain interval.
[0099] If frequency domain interval is larger than 1, frequency comb offset are supported. The frequency comb offset can be 1 or 2 REs.
[0100] If at least one of Doppler offset or delay offset is configured for CSI reporting, and if TRS is configured, TRS-info for tracking should not be configured.
[0101] VI. Embodiment 5
[0102] If the RRC configures dedicated demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports with FD Orthogonal Cover Code (FD-OCC) of length 4, in DCI format for DL or UL transmission, e.g., DCI format 1_1 / 1_2, DCI format 0_1 / 0_2, the indicated DMRS ports are associated with FD-OCC of length 4. In some cases, the transmission should fall back to basis transmission with DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 1_0 without RRC configuration, and also with only one DMRS port 0. If the transmission is configured with the FD-OCC of length 4 based DMRS ports by RRC in the latest RRC transmission, the DMRS port 0 for the transmission in DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 1_0 should be associated with FD-OCC of length 4, i.e., OCC of {+1, +1, +1, +1} . Otherwise, the DMRS ports in DCI format 0_0 or DCI format 1_0 should be associated with FD-OCC of length 2.
[0103] When receiving PDSCH scheduled by DCI format 1_0, 4_0, or 4_1, or receiving PDSCH before dedicated higher layer configuration of any of the parameters dmrs-AdditionalPosition, maxLength and dmrs-Type, the UE shall assume that the PDSCH is not present in any symbol carrying DMRS except for PDSCH with allocation duration of 2 symbols with PDSCH mapping type B, and a single symbol front-loaded DMRS of configuration type 1 or enhanced type 1 on DMRS port 1000 is transmitted, and that all the remaining orthogonal antenna ports are not associated with transmission of PDSCH to another UE.
[0104] VII. Embodiment 6
[0105] Assume that the target UE is not able to handle orphan RE (a.k.a. with the scheduling restriction for FD-OCC of length 4 in Rel. 18 eType 1 DMRS) and the co-scheduled UE2 is able to handle the orphan RE (a.k.a. without the scheduling restriction for FD-OCC of length 4 in Rel. 18 eType 1 DMRS) . The target UE and the co-scheduled UE are scheduled with DMRS ports in the same code division multiplexing (CDM) group. The scheduling restriction is: The scheduling restriction above means satisfying all of the following:
[0106] 1) The number of consecutively scheduled PRBs for PDSCH is even.
[0107] 2) The number of PRBs offset of scheduled PDSCH from point A (common resource block 0) is even.
[0108] For wideband precoding-based Multi-user, multiple-input, multiple-output (MU-MIMO) , the target UE1 is scheduled with 4 PRBs and the co-scheduled UE2 is scheduled with 2 PRBs in FIG. 11. FIG. 11 shows PRB offset of the first scheduled PRB is odd (i.e., 1) between UEs in MU-MIMO. The offset of the first PRB of consecutively scheduled PRBs between the target UE1 and co-scheduled UE2 in frequency domain is odd, i.e., 1. The DMRS ports of target UE1 and its co-scheduled UE2 are not orthogonal in this case. In FIG. 11, FD-OCC misalignment 1 will introduce a non-orthogonal DMRS port on the first 2 REs of PRB1 for UE1, because REs# {0, 2} of PRB1 is bundled with REs# {8, 10} of PRB0 for UE1 with FD-OCC of [+1, +1, +1, +1] and REs# {0, 2} of PRB1 for UE2 are associated with FD-OCC of [-1, -1] . Similarly, FD-OCC misalignment 2 will also introduce a non-orthogonal DMRS port on the last 2 REs of PRB2 for UE1, because REs# {0, 2} of PRB3 is bundled with REs# {8, 10} of PRB2 for UE1 with FD-OCC of [+1, +1, +1, +1] , and REs# {8, 10} of PRB2 for UE2 are associated with FD-OCC of [+1, +1] .
[0109] In order to address this issue, 2 scheduling restrictions can be considered as follows:
[0110] Restriction 1: Restrict that all the scheduled UEs should be scheduled with an even PRB offset from the first scheduled PRB. As shown in FIG. 12, the PRB offset between the first scheduled PRB of UE1 and UE2 is even, e.g., 0 in FIG. 12, and the DMRS ports are orthogonal in PRB1 compared with the scheduling of UE2 in FIG. 11. FIG. 12 shows PRB offset of the first scheduled PRB is even (i.e., 0) between UEs in MU-MIMO. However, another issue should be considered. If the overlapped PRBs of the consecutively scheduled PRBs is odd, e.g., 3 PRBs in FIG. 12, the FD-OCC misalignment 2 still exists. In FIG. 12, DMRS port#0 with FD-OCC of [+1, +1] on REs {8, 10} of PRB2 for UE1 is not orthogonal with DMRS port#8 with FD-OCC of [+1, +1] on the same REs for UE2. In this case, another scheduling restriction 2 should be further considered.
[0111] Restriction 2: Restrict that the length of overlapped PRBs of consecutively scheduled PRBs between UE1 and UE2 is even (i.e., 2 in FIG. 13) . FIG. 13 shows the length of overlapped PRBs of the consecutively scheduled PRB is even (i.e., 2) between UEs in MU-MIMO. As shown in FIG. 13, one more scheduling restriction is introduced about the length of overlapped PRBs of the consecutively scheduled PRBs between the target UE1 and its co-scheduled UE2. Compared with FIG. 12, the FD-OCC misalignment 2 on the orphan overlapped PRB (i.e., PRB2) could be avoided.
[0112] To address the issue of interference introduced by FD-OCC misalignment between target UE and its co-scheduled UEs in MU-MIMO, two scheduling restrictions should be adopted.
[0113] For Rel. 18 DMRS eType1 for PDSCH, if DMRS ports of a UE and its co-scheduled UE (s) are from the same DMRS CDM group, and the UE is not indicating UE capability of [noSchedulingRestriction-r18] , the UE expects that, for the consecutively scheduled PRBs of the UE overlapped with that of co-scheduled UE (s) ,
[0114] The offset between the first PRB of the consecutively scheduled PRBs of the UE and its co-scheduled UE (s) is even; and
[0115] The length of overlapped PRBs between the consecutively scheduled PRBs of the UE and co-scheduled UE (s) is even, or the length of a set of the consecutively scheduled PRBs of the UE and co-scheduled UE (s) is even.
[0116] For DMRS configuration enhanced type1, when the remaining orthogonal antenna port (s) in the same CDM group of an UE are associated with transmissions of PDSCH to its co-scheduled UE (s) , the UE shall assume that an offset of the first PRB of the consecutively scheduled PRBs of PDSCH between the UE and its co-scheduled UE (s) is even number, and the length of overlapped PRBs of the consecutively scheduled PRBs of the UE and the co-scheduled UE (s) is even.
