Information processing method and apparatus, device, storage medium, and computer program product

[0001] Cross-reference to Related Applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202410869488.5, filed on June 28, 2024, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and particularly relates to an information processing method, apparatus, device, storage medium and computer program product. BACKGROUND

[0004] Currently, when channel state information (CSI) is sent on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), the CSI report reported on the PUSCH is divided into two parts (Parts), including: CSI Part 1 (Part 1) and CSI Part 2 (Part 2). For Part 1 of Type I, the parameters contained include: a rank indicator (RI), a channel state information reference signal resource indicator (CSI-RS Resource Indicator, CRI), and a channel quality indicator (CQI). For Part 1 of Type II, the parameters contained include: an RI and a CQI. For Part 2 of Type I, the parameters contained include: a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and a CQI. For Part 2 of Type II, the parameters contained include: a PMI. Since the base station cannot predict the determined size of the CSI Part 2 (Part 2 CSI), the uplink (UL) grant resources configured by the base station in advance may not be able to accommodate the entire CSI payload, so the terminal will discard the transmission of the CSI Part 2 (Part 2 CSI) according to the pre-set priority rule. However, the current implementation of discarding part of the information in the CSI report is relatively single, resulting in poor robustness of the CSI report transmission. SUMMARY

[0109] Before introducing the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the related art is introduced.

[0110] Referring to FIG. 1, a schematic diagram of CSI reporting in the related art is shown in FIG. 1, and a CSI discarding process in a New Radio (NR) system can be as follows: when CSI is sent on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH), the CSI feedback (Feedback) reported on the PUSCH is divided into two parts (Parts). The two parts include:

[0111] Part 1 (Part 1): fixed payload size, the size of Part 2 is determined according to the parameters in Part 1.

[0112] The parameters contained in Part 1 include:

[0113] Type I: Rank Indicator (RI), CRI, Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) (first Codeword);

[0114] Type II: RI, CQI, and the number of non-0 wideband amplitudes per layer.

[0115] Part 2 (Part 2): the payload can be very different.

[0116] The parameters contained in Part 2 include:

[0117] Type I: Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), CQI (second Codeword, RI>4);

[0118] Type II: PMI.

[0119] It should be noted that Part 1 and Part 2 are decoded independently, and Part 1 is decoded first.

[0120] In the related art, because the base station cannot predict the determined size of the CSI Part 2 (Part 2 CSI), the uplink grant (UL Grant) resource configured by the base station in advance can not be able to accommodate the entire CSI payload, and therefore it is necessary to omit the transmission of the CSI Part 2 (Part 2 CSI) according to the priority rules shown in Table 1, as shown in Table 1, Priority 0 (Priority 0) is the highest priority, and Priority 2N REP is the lowest priority, N REP is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0121] Table 1

[0122] Here, when the CSI report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) contains a sub-configuration list, the corresponding CSI report contains one or more CSI sub-reports (CSI sub report), and the discarding of Part 2 CSI of the same priority in Table 1 should be performed at the granularity of sub-configuration, wherein the smaller the value of the CSI sub-report configuration identifier (CSI-ReportSubConfigID) corresponding to the sub-configuration, the higher the priority of the CSI sub-report (CSI sub report).

[0123] Currently, it is necessary to discuss how to discard part of the information in the CSI report when the CSI report contains CRI with a quantity greater than or equal to 1. At the same time, the CSI reporting corresponding to the case where the quantity of CRI is greater than or equal to 1 and the quantity of CQI / RI / PMI is greater than or equal to 1 also needs to be further enhanced. In addition, in this case, the CSI Part 2 (Part 2 CSI) in the CSI report may include PMI with a quantity greater than or equal to 1 and CQI with a quantity greater than or equal to 1 (corresponding to the second codeword), and in summary, the CSI discarding mechanism needs to be redesigned.

[0124] Based on this, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the terminal discards second information in a CSI report in the case where the CSI report includes first information; the second information is part of the first information or the first information; wherein the first information includes N third information; the N third information is N CSI part or fourth information or N fifth information; the fourth information is CRI and corresponding CSI information, and the fifth information is CSI information corresponding to a CSI reference signal resource; N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; the discarding of the second information in the CSI report includes one of the following: discarding the second information in the CSI report in a first manner; discarding the second information in the CSI report in a second manner; the second manner is different from the first manner; discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the priority of the N third information.

[0125] Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is an implementation flowchart of the information processing method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, applied to a terminal, and the method includes step 201:

[0126] Step 201: discarding second information in a CSI report in a case that the CSI report includes first information; the second information is a part of the first information or the first information; wherein the first information includes N third information; the N third information is N CSI part or N fourth information or N fifth information; the fourth information is CRI and corresponding CSI information, and the fifth information is CSI information corresponding to CSI reference signal resource; N is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

[0127] The discarding of the second information in the CSI report includes one of the following:

[0128] Discarding the second information in the CSI report according to a first way;

[0129] Discarding the second information in the CSI report according to a second way; the second way is different from the first way;

[0130] Discarding the second information in the CSI report according to a priority of the N third information.

[0131] Here, the N CSI parts can refer to N CSI sub-groups, wherein each CSI sub-group includes 0 or 1 CRI.

[0132] Here, the N fourth information can refer to N groups of information; wherein each group of information includes CRI and corresponding CSI information, specifically 1 CRI, 1 rank indicator (RI), 1 precoding matrix indicator (PMI), 1 or 2 channel quality indicators (CQI) and the like.

[0133] Here, the N fourth information can also be described as N CRIs and corresponding CSI information.

[0134] Here, the N fifth information can refer to N groups of information; wherein each group of information includes CSI information corresponding to CSI reference signal resource, specifically 0 or 1 CRI, 1 RI, 1 PMI, 1 or 2 CQI and the like.

[0135] Here, the N fifth information can also be described as N CSI information corresponding to CSI reference signal resource.

[0136] The process of discarding the second information in the CSI report is described in detail as follows.

[0137] In a first case, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to a CRI contained in the CSI report, or a CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report.

[0138] Based on this, in some embodiments, the discarding the second information in the CSI report in the first manner comprises:

[0139] determining a first priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report according to the CRI contained in the CSI report or the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report;

[0140] discarding the first part of CSI in the CSI report according to the first priority.

[0141] In some embodiments, the determination manner of the first priority comprises:

[0142] the smaller the value of the CRI contained in the CSI report is, the higher the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report is;

[0143] or,

[0144] the larger the value of the CRI contained in the CSI report is, the higher the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report is;

[0145] or,

[0146] the smaller the index of the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report is, the higher the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report is;

[0147] or,

[0148] the larger the index of the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report is, the higher the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report is;

[0149] or,

[0150] the earlier the arrangement order of the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report in a CSI reference signal resource set is, the higher the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report is;

[0151] or,

[0152] the later the arrangement order of the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report in a CSI reference signal resource set is, the higher the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report is.

[0153] Herein, taking the CSI report including N CSI parts, i.e., N CSI sub-groups, as an example, the priority of the first part CSI in the CSI report can refer to the priority of the CSI sub-group in the CSI report.

[0154] For example, assuming that the CSI report includes 3 CSI parts, i.e., 3 CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3, wherein each CSI sub-group includes a CRI, denoted as CRI1, CRI2, and CRI3, and assuming that the value of CRI1 is the smallest, the value of CRI2 is the second, and the value of CRI3 is the largest, then the priority of CSI sub-group1 in the CSI report is the highest, the priority of CSI sub-group2 is the second, and the priority of CSI sub-group3 is the lowest; or the priority of CSI sub-group1 in the CSI report is the lowest, the priority of CSI sub-group2 is the second, and the priority of CSI sub-group3 is the highest.

[0155] For another example, assuming that the CSI report includes 3 CSI parts, i.e., 3 CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3, wherein the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to CSI sub-group1 includes CSI RS resource 1, the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to CSI sub-group2 includes CSI RS resource 2, and the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to CSI sub-group3 includes CSI RS resource 3, and assuming that the index of CSI RS resource 1 is the smallest, the index of CSI RS resource 2 is the second, and the index of CSI RS resource 3 is the largest, then the priority of CSI sub-group1 in the CSI report is the highest, the priority of CSI sub-group2 is the second, and the priority of CSI sub-group3 is the lowest; or the priority of CSI sub-group1 in the CSI report is the lowest, the priority of CSI sub-group2 is the second, and the priority of CSI sub-group3 is the highest.

[0156] For example, assuming that the CSI report includes 3 CSI parts, i.e. 3 CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3, wherein the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI sub-group1 includes CSI RS resource 1, the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI sub-group2 includes CSI RS resource 2, and the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI sub-group3 includes CSI RS resource 3, assuming that the CSI reference signal resource set is {CSI RS resource 1, CSI RS resource 2, CSI RS resource 3}, the priority of the CSI sub-group1 in the CSI report is the highest, the priority of the CSI sub-group2 is the second, and the priority of the CSI sub-group3 is the lowest; or the priority of the CSI sub-group1 in the CSI report is the lowest, the priority of the CSI sub-group2 is the second, and the priority of the CSI sub-group3 is the highest.

[0157] It should be noted that the determination manner of the first priority for the N fourth information or the N fifth information is similar to the determination manner of the N CSI parts, which will not be described herein.

[0158] Further, discarding the first part of CSI in the CSI report according to the first priority can include:

[0159] The lower the first priority of the first part of CSI is, the more preferentially discarded it is, or the higher the first priority of the first part of CSI is, the more preferentially retained it is.

[0160] For example, assuming that the CSI report includes 3 CSI parts, i.e. 3 CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3, if the priority of the CSI sub-group1 is the highest, the priority of the CSI sub-group2 is the second, and the priority of the CSI sub-group3 is the lowest, the CSI sub-group3 is preferentially discarded, followed by the CSI sub-group2 and the CSI sub-group1, or the CSI sub-group1 is preferentially retained, followed by the CSI sub-group2 and the CSI sub-group3.

[0161] In the second case, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRI included in the CSI report in the CSI report, or according to the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRI included in the CSI report in the sequence of uplink control information bits.

[0162] Based on this, in some embodiments, the discarding the second information in the CSI report in the first manner includes:

[0163] According to the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRI included in the CSI report in the CSI report, or according to the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRI included in the CSI report in the sequence of uplink control information bits, the second priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report is determined.

[0164] The first part of CSI in the CSI report is discarded according to the second priority.

[0165] Here, taking the CSI report including N CSI parts, i.e., N CSI subgroups, as an example, the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report can refer to the priority of the CSI subgroup of the CSI report.

[0166] In some embodiments, the determination manner of the second priority includes:

[0167] The earlier the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRI included in the CSI report in the CSI report is, the higher the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report is.

[0168] Or,

[0169] The later the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRI included in the CSI report in the CSI report is, the higher the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report is.

[0170] Or,

[0171] The earlier the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRI included in the CSI report in the sequence of uplink control information bits is, the higher the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report is.

[0172] Or,

[0173] The later the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRI included in the CSI report in the sequence of uplink control information bits is, the higher the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report is.

[0174] For example, assuming that the CSI report includes 3 CSI parts, i.e. 3 CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, CSI sub-group3, wherein each CSI sub-group includes one CRI, denoted as CRI1, CRI2, CRI3, and assuming that the arrangement order or corresponding order of the three CRIs in the CSI report is CRI1, CRI2, CRI3, then the priority of CSI sub-group1 in the CSI report is the highest, the priority of CSI sub-group2 is the second, and the priority of CSI sub-group3 is the lowest; or the priority of CSI sub-group1 in the CSI report is the lowest, the priority of CSI sub-group2 is the second, and the priority of CSI sub-group3 is the highest.

[0175] For example, assuming that the CSI report includes 3 CSI parts, i.e. 3 CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, CSI sub-group3, wherein each CSI sub-group includes one CRI, denoted as CRI1, CRI2, CRI3, and assuming that the arrangement order or corresponding order of the three CRIs in the CSI report is CRI1, CRI2, CRI3, then the priority of CSI sub-group1 in the CSI report is the highest, the priority of CSI sub-group2 is the second, and the priority of CSI sub-group3 is the lowest; or the priority of CSI sub-group1 in the CSI report is the lowest, the priority of CSI sub-group2 is the second, and the priority of CSI sub-group3 is the highest.

[0176] It should be noted that the determination of the second priority for the N fourth information or the N fifth information is similar to the determination of the N CSI parts, which will not be repeated here.

[0177] Further, discarding the first part of CSI in the CSI report according to the second priority can include:

[0178] The lower the second priority of the first part of CSI is, the more preferentially discarded it is, or the higher the second priority of the first part of CSI is, the more preferentially retained it is.

[0179] For example, assuming that the CSI report includes 3 CSI parts, i.e. 3 CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2 and CSI sub-group3, if the priority of CSI sub-group1 is the highest, the priority of CSI sub-group2 is the second highest, and the priority of CSI sub-group3 is the lowest, CSI sub-group3 is discarded first, followed by CSI sub-group2 and CSI sub-group1, or in other words, CSI sub-group1 is retained first, followed by CSI sub-group2 and CSI sub-group3.

[0180] In the third case, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to a third priority.

[0181] Based on this, in some embodiments, the discarding of the second information in the CSI report according to the first manner includes:

[0182] The first part of CSI in the CSI report is discarded according to a third priority.

[0183] In the third case, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to a third priority.

[0184] The third priority is determined according to the following order:

[0185] For the plurality of CSI reports, the first part of CSI in each of the CSI reports contains wideband CSI, and the priority of the wideband CSI is the same and the highest.

[0186] For the plurality of CSI reports, if the number of the CSI report is smaller and the number of the CSI part is smaller, the priority of even subband CSI contained in the first part of CSI in the CSI report is higher.

[0187] For the plurality of CSI reports, if the number of the CSI report is smaller and the number of the CSI part is smaller, the priority of odd subband CSI contained in the first part of CSI in the CSI report is higher.

[0188] In the third case, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to a third priority.

[0189] Here, the CSI report includes N CSI parts, i.e., N CSI sub-groups; the priority of the wideband CSI contained in the first part CSI in each of the CSI reports is the same and the highest priority can mean that the priority of the wideband CSI in all CSI sub-groups is the same.

[0190] Here, the priority of the even subband CSI contained in the first part CSI in the CSI report can mean the priority of the Part 2 CSI of the even subband in the CSI sub-group of the CSI report.

[0191] Here, the priority of the odd subband CSI contained in the first part CSI in the CSI report can mean the priority of the Part 2 CSI of the odd subband in the CSI sub-group of the CSI report.

[0192] For example, assuming that there are 2 CSI reports, denoted as CSI report 1 and CSI report 2, each of which includes 3 CSI parts, i.e., 3 CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group 1, CSI sub-group 2, and CSI sub-group 3, for the CSI report 1, the priority of the Part 2 CSI of the even subband in the CSI sub-group 1 of the CSI report 1 is the highest, followed by the Part 2 CSI of the even subband in the CSI sub-group 2 of the CSI report 1 and the Part 2 CSI of the even subband in the CSI sub-group 3 of the CSI report 1, then the priority of the Part 2 CSI of the odd subband in the CSI sub-group 1 of the CSI report 1 is the highest, followed by the Part 2 CSI of the odd subband in the CSI sub-group 2 of the CSI report 1 and the Part 2 CSI of the odd subband in the CSI sub-group 3 of the CSI report 1; wherein for the same CSI report 1, the priority of the Part 2 CSI of the even subband in the CSI sub-group is higher than the priority of the Part 2 CSI of the odd subband in the CSI sub-group; for the CSI report 2, the third priority is determined in a similar manner as that of the CSI report 1.

[0193] It should be noted that the third priority of the N fourth information or the N fifth information is determined in a similar manner to the determination of the N CSI parts, and thus will not be described herein.

[0194] Further, the discarding the first part of CSI in the CSI report according to the third priority can include:

[0195] The lower the third priority of the first part of CSI, the more preferentially discarded, or the higher the third priority of the first part of CSI, the more preferentially retained.

[0196] In the fourth case, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to a fourth priority.

[0197] Based on this, in some embodiments, the discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the second manner includes:

[0198] Discarding the first part of CSI in the CSI report according to the fourth priority;

[0199] Wherein,

[0200] The fourth priority is determined in the following order:

[0201] For a plurality of CSI reports, the priority of the wideband CSI contained in the first part of CSI in each of the CSI reports is the same and the highest.

[0202] For a plurality of CSI reports, the smaller the number of the CSI report and the smaller the number of the CSI part, the higher the priority of the first part of CSI in the CSI report.

[0203] Wherein, if the number of the CSI report is the same and the number of the CSI part is the same, the priority of the even subband CSI contained in the first part of CSI in the CSI report is higher than the priority of the odd subband CSI contained in the first part of CSI in the CSI report; if the number of the CSI report is the same and the number of the first CSI part is smaller than the number of the second CSI part, the priority of the odd subband CSI contained in the first CSI part is higher than the priority of the even subband CSI contained in the second CSI part; the first CSI part and the second CSI part are different.

[0204] Here, the CSI report includes N CSI parts, i.e., N CSI subgroups; the statement that for multiple CSI reports, the broadband CSIs contained in the first part of each CSI report have the same priority and the highest priority can mean that the broadband CSIs in all CSI subgroups have the same priority.

[0205] Here, the priority of the even-numbered subbands of CSI included in the first part of the CSI report may refer to the priority of the even-numbered subbands of CSI Part 2 CSI in the CSI sub-group of the CSI report.

[0206] Here, the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report may refer to the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSI Part 2 CSI in the CSI sub-group of the CSI report.

[0207] Here, the first CSI part can refer to the first CSI sub-group among N CSI sub-groups; the second CSI part can refer to the second CSI sub-group among N CSI sub-groups; the number of the first CSI sub-group is less than the number of the second CSI sub-group.

[0208] For example, suppose there are two CSI reports, denoted as CSI Report 1 and CSI Report 2. Each CSI report includes three CSI parts, or three CSI subgroups, denoted as CSI subgroup 1, CSI subgroup 2, and CSI subgroup 3. For CSI Report 1, the priority of CSI Part 2 (CSI 2) in the even-numbered subbands of CSI Subgroup 1 is higher than that of Part 2 (CSI 2) in the odd-numbered subbands of CSI Subgroup 1. Next, the priority of Part 2 (CSI 2) in the even-numbered subbands of CSI Subgroup 2 is higher than that of Part 2 (CSI 2) in the odd-numbered subbands of CSI Subgroup 2. Finally, the priority of Part 2 (CSI 2) in the even-numbered subbands of CSI Subgroup 3 is higher than that of Part 2 (CSI 2) in the odd-numbered subbands of CSI Subgroup 3. CSI priority; for CSI report 2, the fourth priority is determined in a similar way to that of CSI report 1.

[0209] It should be noted that the method for determining the fourth priority for N fourth pieces of information or N fifth pieces of information is similar to the method for determining the N CSI parts, and will not be repeated here.

[0210] Furthermore, the step of discarding the first portion of the CSI report according to the fourth priority may include:

[0211] The lower the fourth priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority for discarding; conversely, the higher the fourth priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority for retention.

[0212] In some embodiments, the numbering of the CSI section is determined based on one of the following:

[0213] The number associated with the CSI section;

[0214] The CSI report contains or is associated with a CRI;

[0215] Based on the arrangement or corresponding order of CRI in the uplink control information bit sequence in the CSI report;

[0216] Based on the order of the CSI reference signal resources corresponding to the CSI report in the CSI reference signal resource set.

[0217] Here, the number associated with the CSI part can refer to the sub-group ID contained in or associated with the CSI sub-group. For example, if the sub-group ID is 1, then the number of the CSI part, i.e., the CSI sub-group, is 1.

[0218] Here, the CRI contained or associated in the CSI report can refer to the CRI contained or associated in the CSI subgroup of the CSI report. For example, if the identifier of the CRI is CRI1, then the CSI part, i.e., the CSI subgroup, is numbered 1.

[0219] Here, assuming that the CRI in the CSI report is the first in the uplink control information bit sequence, then the CSI section, i.e., the CSI sub-group, is numbered 1.

[0220] Here, assuming that the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report is the first one in the CSI reference signal resource set, then the CSI part, i.e., the CSI sub-group, is numbered 1.

[0221] In the fifth scenario, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to the priority of the N third pieces of information.

[0222] Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0223] Determine at least one of the following parameters: a first parameter, a second parameter, a third parameter, a fourth parameter, a fifth parameter, and a sixth parameter; wherein, the first parameter represents the identifier associated with the CSI portion, or the identifier of the CRI, or the value of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CSI portion; the second parameter represents the maximum number of CSIs configured by the higher layer, or the maximum number of CRIs that can be supported, or the maximum number of CSIs that can be supported per CSI report, or the maximum number of CSIs that can be supported corresponding to the maximum number of CSI reference signal resources; the third parameter represents the CSI report type; the fourth parameter represents the CSI type carried in the CSI report; the fifth parameter represents the serving cell index; and the sixth parameter represents the CSI report configuration identifier.

[0224] The priority of the N pieces of third information is determined based on at least one of the first parameter, the second parameter, the third parameter, the fourth parameter, the fifth parameter, and the sixth parameter;

[0225] The determination of the priority of the N third pieces of information includes one of the following:

[0226] Determine the priority of each of the N CSI sections;

[0227] Determine the priority of each of the N pieces of fourth information;

[0228] Determine the priority of each of the N pieces of fifth information.

[0229] Here, the first parameter represents the identifier associated with the CSI part, or the identifier of the CRI, or the value of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CSI part, that is, the sub-group ID contained or associated in the CSI sub-group, or the CRI ID, or the value of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CSI part.

[0230] The CRI ID definition can be one of the following:

[0231] Definition 1: There are N CRIs in N CSI subgroups. After sorting the N CRIs in ascending order, the ID of the x-th smallest CRI is x, where x = 0, ..., N-1, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0232] Definition 2: The CRI ID corresponding to the x-th CRI in the uplink control information (UCI) bit sequence is defined as x, or the CRI ID corresponding to the x-th CSI sub-group is defined as x, where x = 0, ..., N-1, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0233] The relative position identifier of the CRI can be determined according to the order of the CRI in the uplink control information (UCI) bit sequence. For example, if the CRI is the first in the uplink control information (UCI) bit sequence, then the relative position identifier of the CRI can be 0 or 1.

[0234] The relative position identifier of the CSI part can be determined according to the arrangement order of the CSI part among the N CSI parts. For example, if the CSI part is the first in the arrangement order among the N CSI parts, then the relative position identifier of the CSI part is 0 or 1.

[0235] Here, the second parameter represents the maximum number of CSIs configured by the higher layer or the maximum number of CRIs that can be supported, or the maximum number of CSIs that each CSI report can support or the maximum number of CRIs that can be supported or the maximum number of CSIs reported corresponding to the maximum number of CSI reference signal resources that can be supported.

[0236] Here, the third parameter characterizes the CSI report type, which may specifically include non-periodic CSI reports carried on PUSCH, semi-persistent CSI reports carried on PUSCH, semi-persistent CSI reports carried on PUCCH, and periodic CSI reports carried on PUCCH.

[0237] Here, the fourth parameter characterizes the type of CSI carried in the CSI report, which may include CSI reports carrying Layer 1 (L1)-Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or L1-Signal-to-noise and interference ratio (SINR), or CSI reports that do not carry L1-RSRP or L1-SINR.

[0238] Here, the fifth parameter represents the serving cell index, that is, the serving cell index configured in the higher-layer signaling.

[0239] Here, the sixth parameter represents the CSI report configuration identifier, namely the reportConfigID of the higher-level signaling configuration.

[0240] Here, determining the priority of each of the N CSI parts can include:

[0241] Multiply the second parameter and the third parameter to obtain the first value;

[0242] The second value is obtained by multiplying the second parameter and the fourth parameter.

[0243] The third value is obtained by multiplying the second parameter and the fifth parameter.

[0244] The product of the second parameter and the sixth parameter is used to obtain the fourth value;

[0245] Based on the first value, the second value, the third value, the fourth value, and the value of the first parameter, the fifth value is obtained;

[0246] The fifth value is used as the priority for each of the N CSI parts.

[0247] It should be noted that the process of calculating the priority of each fourth or fifth piece of information is similar to the process of calculating the priority of each CSI section, and will not be repeated here.

[0248] In some embodiments, discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the priority of the N third information pieces includes:

[0249] According to the priority of the N CSI sections, the CSI sections in the CSI report are discarded;

[0250] or,

[0251] According to the priority of the N fourth pieces of information, the CRI and the corresponding CSI information in the CSI report are discarded;

[0252] or,

[0253] According to the priority of the N fifth pieces of information, the CSI information corresponding to the CSI reference signal resources in the CSI report is discarded.

[0254] Here, the lower the priority, the more likely it is to be discarded, or the higher the priority, the more likely it is to be retained.

[0255] In the sixth case, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to the priority of the M third information items.

[0256] Based on this, in some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0257] If K CSI reports contain M pieces of third information, the second information in the CSI reports is discarded according to the priority of the M pieces of third information;

[0258] Wherein, K and M are both integers greater than or equal to 1; the M third pieces of information are M CSI parts, M fourth pieces of information, or M fifth pieces of information;

[0259] The priority of the M pieces of third information is determined in the following order:

[0260] For the M third pieces of information, the broadband CSI contained in each third piece of information has the same priority and the highest priority;

[0261] For M pieces of third information, if the priority of the third information is higher, then the priority of the even-numbered subband CSIs contained in the third information is higher, and the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSIs contained in the third information is higher; wherein, for the same piece of third information, the priority of the even-numbered subband CSIs contained in the third information is higher than the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSIs contained in the third information.

[0262] Here, the M third pieces of information are M CSI parts, or M CSI subgroups. The broadband CSIs contained in each of the third pieces of information have the same priority and the highest priority can mean that the broadband CSIs in all CSI subgroups have the same priority.

[0263] Here, the priority of the even-numbered subband CSI included in the third information may refer to the priority of the CSI Part 2 CSI in the even-numbered subband of the CSI sub-group in the CSI report.

[0264] Here, the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSI included in the third information may refer to the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSI Part 2 CSI in the CSI sub-group of the CSI report.

[0265] Here, the priority of the third information can be determined based on at least one of the first parameter, the second parameter, the third parameter, the fourth parameter, the fifth parameter, and the sixth parameter.

[0266] It should be noted that the priority determination method for M fourth pieces of information or M fifth pieces of information is similar to the determination method for M CSI parts, and will not be repeated here.

[0267] Furthermore, discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the priority of the M pieces of third information may include:

[0268] The lower the priority, the more likely it is to be discarded; conversely, the higher the priority, the more likely it is to be retained.

[0269] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0270] The reference signal is measured to obtain channel information;

[0271] Based on the channel information, determine the method for discarding the second information in the CSI report.

[0272] Here, considering that the terminal can use information such as measured channel characteristics, such as the frequency selectivity of the downlink channel, beam differences between multiple measurement resources, and CQI differences, to determine whether a particular dropping method is more suitable for the terminal's channel characteristics.

[0273] Specifically, if the downlink channel frequency selectivity is weak based on the channel information, then method one can be used; if the downlink channel frequency selectivity is strong based on the channel information, then method two can be used.

[0274] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0275] The CSI report is sent to the network device; the CSI report includes an indication field; the indication field is used to indicate the method used to discard the second information in the CSI report.

[0276] For example, assuming the indication field occupies 1 bit, when the codepoint of the indication field is 0, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the first way; when the codepoint of the indication field is 1, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the second way.

[0277] For example, assuming the indication field occupies 2 bits, when the codepoint of the indication field is 00, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the first way; when the codepoint of the indication field is 01, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the second way; when the codepoint of the indication field is 10, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to the priority of N third information.

[0278] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0279] The sixth piece of information in the CSI report, excluding the discarded second piece of information, is sent to the network device.

[0280] The embodiments disclosed herein have the following advantages:

[0281] (1) When a terminal receives a CSI report containing first information, it discards second information in the CSI report; the second information is a part of the first information, or the first information; wherein the first information includes N third information; the N third information are N CSI parts, N fourth information, or N fifth information; the fourth information is CRI and the corresponding CSI information, and the fifth information is CSI information corresponding to CSI reference signal resources; N is an integer greater than or equal to 1; the discarding of the second information in the CSI report includes one of the following: discarding the second information in the CSI report according to a first method; discarding the second information in the CSI report according to a second method; the second method is different from the first method; discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the priority of the N third information.

[0282] As can be seen, there are multiple ways to discard some information in the CSI report in this embodiment of the disclosure, which helps to improve the robustness of CSI report transmission.

[0283] (2) To support multiple CRIs and their corresponding multiple CSI reports, a variety of CSI discarding mechanisms have been designed, which can effectively improve the transmission robustness of CSI reporting.

[0284] Referring to Figure 3, which is a schematic flowchart of the information processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, applied to a network device, the method includes 301:

[0285] Step 301: Receive the sixth information sent by the terminal; wherein, the sixth information is obtained by the terminal discarding the second information in a CSI report when the CSI report includes the first information; the second information is a part of the first information, or the first information; the first information includes N third information; the N third information are N CSI parts, N fourth information, or N fifth information; the fourth information is CRI and the corresponding CSI information, and the fifth information is the CSI information corresponding to the CSI reference signal resource; N is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

[0286] The method of discarding the second information in the CSI report includes one of the following: discarding the second information in the CSI report according to a first method; discarding the second information in the CSI report according to a second method; the second method being different from the first method; or discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the priority of the N third information items.

[0287] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0288] The terminal receives the CSI report sent by the terminal; the CSI report includes an indication field; the indication field is used to indicate the method by which the terminal discards the second information in the CSI report.

[0289] For example, assuming the indication field occupies 1 bit, when the codepoint of the indication field is 0, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the first way; when the codepoint of the indication field is 1, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the second way.

[0290] For example, assuming the indication field occupies 2 bits, when the codepoint of the indication field is 00, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the first way; when the codepoint of the indication field is 01, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the second way; when the codepoint of the indication field is 10, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to the priority of N third information.

[0291] The embodiments disclosed herein have the following advantages:

[0292] (1) There are several ways to discard some information in the CSI report, which helps to improve the robustness of CSI report transmission.

[0293] (2) To support multiple CRIs and their corresponding multiple CSI reports, a variety of CSI discarding mechanisms have been designed, which can effectively improve the transmission robustness of CSI reporting.

[0294] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to specific application examples.

[0295] Example 1

[0296] In the case where a CSI report includes first information, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to a first method. The first information includes N third information items; the N third information items are N CSI parts, N fourth information items, or N fifth information items. The fourth information items are CRI and their corresponding CSI information, the fifth information items are CSI information corresponding to CSI reference signal resources, N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the second information is a part of the first information, or the first information itself.

[0297] Here, N CSI parts can refer to N CSI subgroups, where each CSI subgroup includes 0 or 1 CRI.

[0298] Here, N fourth pieces of information can refer to N sets of information, namely N CRIs and their corresponding CSI information. Each set of information includes CRIs and their corresponding CSI information, specifically 1 CRI, 1 RI, 1 PMI, 1 or 2 CQIs, etc.

[0299] Here, N pieces of fifth information can refer to N sets of information, that is, the CSI information corresponding to N CSI reference signal resources. Each set of information includes the CSI information corresponding to the CSI reference signal resources, specifically 0 or 1 CRI, 1 RI, 1 PMI, 1 or 2 CQI, etc.

[0300] The following example illustrates the process of discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the first method, using the first information comprising N CSI parts as an example.

[0301] Here, a single CSI report supports reporting N CSI sections, or N CSI subgroups, where each CSI subgroup includes 0 or 1 CRIs. If the downlink channel has weak frequency selectivity, the second piece of information in the CSI report can be discarded at the CSI subgroup granularity.

[0302] Thus, according to the first method, discarding the second information in the CSI report may include: determining a first priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report based on the CRI contained in the CSI report; and discarding the first part of the CSI in the CSI report according to the first priority.

[0303] Specifically, determining the first priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report based on the CRI included in the CSI report may include:

[0304] The smaller the CRI value included in the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI report;

[0305] or,

[0306] The higher the value of the CRI included in the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI report.

[0307] In other words, the smaller the CRI value in the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI report, i.e., the CSI sub-group; or, the larger the CRI value in the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI report, i.e., the CSI sub-group.

[0308] For example, suppose a CSI report includes three CSI sections, or three CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3. Each CSI sub-group includes a CRI, denoted as CRI1, CRI2, and CRI3. If CRI1 has the lowest value, CRI2 has the next lowest value, and CRI3 has the highest value, then CSI sub-group1 has the highest priority in the CSI report, followed by CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3 has the lowest priority. Alternatively, CSI sub-group1 may have the lowest priority, followed by CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3 has the highest priority.

[0309] In practical applications, discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the first method may further include: determining the first priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report based on the CSI reference signal resources corresponding to the CSI report; and discarding the first part of the CSI in the CSI report according to the first priority.

[0310] Specifically, the method for determining the first priority may include:

[0311] The smaller the index of the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report;

[0312] or,

[0313] The larger the index of the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report;

[0314] or,

[0315] If the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report appears earlier in the CSI reference signal resource set, then the first part of the CSI in the CSI report has a higher priority.

[0316] or,

[0317] The later the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report is arranged in the CSI reference signal resource set, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report.

[0318] For example, suppose a CSI report includes three CSI sections, or three CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3. CSI sub-group1 corresponds to CSI RS resource 1, CSI sub-group2 corresponds to CSI RS resource 2, and CSI sub-group3 corresponds to CSI RS resource 3. Assuming CSI RS resource 1 has the smallest index, CSI RS resource 2 has the second largest index, and CSI RS resource 3 has the largest index, then CSI sub-group1 has the highest priority in the CSI report, followed by CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3 has the lowest priority; or, conversely, CSI sub-group1 has the lowest priority, CSI sub-group2 has the second largest priority, and CSI sub-group3 has the highest priority.

[0319] For example, suppose a CSI report includes three CSI sections, or three CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3. CSI sub-group1 corresponds to CSI reference signal resources including CSI RS resource 1, CSI sub-group2 corresponds to CSI RS resource 2, and CSI sub-group3 corresponds to CSI RS resource 3. Assuming the set of CSI reference signal resources is {CSI RS resource 1, CSI RS resource 2, CSI RS resource 3}, then CSI sub-group1 has the highest priority in the CSI report, followed by CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3 has the lowest priority; or, CSI sub-group1 has the lowest priority, followed by CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3 has the highest priority.

[0320] Furthermore, discarding the first portion of the CSI report according to the first priority may include:

[0321] The lower the first priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority of discarding it; conversely, the higher the first priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority of retaining it.

[0322] For example, suppose a CSI report includes three CSI sections, or three CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3. If CSI sub-group1 has the highest priority, followed by CSI sub-group2, and then CSI sub-group3 has the lowest priority, then CSI sub-group3 is discarded first, followed by CSI sub-group2 and CSI sub-group1. Alternatively, CSI sub-group1 is retained first, followed by CSI sub-group2 and CSI sub-group3.

[0323] In practical applications, discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the first method may further include: determining the second priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report based on the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRIs contained in the CSI report in the CSI report, or based on the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRIs contained in the CSI report in the uplink control information bit sequence; and discarding the first part of the CSI in the CSI report according to the second priority.

[0324] Specifically, the method for determining the second priority may include:

[0325] If the CRIs included in the CSI report appear earlier in the CSI report or in the corresponding order, then the first part of the CSI in the CSI report has a higher priority.

[0326] or,

[0327] If the CRIs included in the CSI report are listed later in the CSI report, the first part of the CSI in the CSI report has a higher priority.

[0328] or,

[0329] If the CRI included in the CSI report appears earlier in the uplink control information bit sequence, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report.

[0330] or,

[0331] The later the CRI in the uplink control information bit sequence is in the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report.

[0332] For example, suppose a CSI report includes three CSI sections, or three CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3. Each CSI sub-group includes one CRI, denoted as CRI1, CRI2, and CRI3. If the three CRIs are arranged or correspondingly ordered in the CSI report as CRI1, CRI2, and CRI3, then CSI sub-group1 has the highest priority, followed by CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3 has the lowest priority. Alternatively, CSI sub-group1 has the lowest priority, followed by CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3 has the highest priority.

[0333] For example, suppose a CSI report includes three CSI sections, or three CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3. Each CSI sub-group includes one CRI, denoted as CRI1, CRI2, and CRI3. The CSI report also includes an uplink control information (UCI) bit sequence. Assuming the three CRIs are arranged or correspond to each other in the uplink control information bit sequence in the order of CRI1, CRI2, and CRI3, then CSI sub-group1 has the highest priority, followed by CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3 has the lowest priority; or, CSI sub-group1 has the lowest priority, followed by CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3 has the highest priority.

[0334] Furthermore, discarding the first portion of the CSI report according to the second priority may include:

[0335] The lower the second priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority of discarding; conversely, the higher the second priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority of retaining.

[0336] For example, suppose a CSI report includes three CSI sections, or three CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3. If CSI sub-group1 has the highest priority, followed by CSI sub-group2, and then CSI sub-group3 has the lowest priority, then CSI sub-group3 is discarded first, followed by CSI sub-group2 and CSI sub-group1. Alternatively, CSI sub-group1 is retained first, followed by CSI sub-group2 and CSI sub-group3.

[0337] In practical applications, in addition to discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the first method, it may also include discarding the first part of the CSI report according to the third priority.

[0338] Here, the third priority is determined in the following order:

[0339] For multiple CSI reports, the broadband CSIs included in the first part of each CSI report have the same priority and the highest priority;

[0340] For multiple CSI reports, if the number of the CSI report is smaller and the number of the CSI section is smaller, then the even-numbered subband CSIs contained in the first part of the CSI report have higher priority.

[0341] For multiple CSI reports, if the number of the CSI report is smaller and the number of the CSI section is smaller, then the odd-numbered subband CSIs contained in the first part of the CSI report have higher priority.

[0342] If the CSI reports have the same number, the even-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report have a higher priority than the odd-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report.

[0343] Here, the CSI report includes N CSI parts, i.e., N CSI subgroups; the statement that for multiple CSI reports, the broadband CSIs contained in the first part of each CSI report have the same priority and the highest priority can mean that the broadband CSIs in all CSI subgroups have the same priority.

[0344] Here, the priority of the even-numbered subbands of CSI included in the first part of the CSI report may refer to the priority of the even-numbered subbands of CSI Part 2 CSI in the CSI sub-group of the CSI report.

[0345] Here, the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report may refer to the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSI Part 2 CSI in the CSI sub-group of the CSI report.

[0346] Furthermore, the step of discarding the first portion of the CSI report according to the third priority may include:

[0347] The lower the third priority of the first part of the CSI, the higher the priority for discarding; conversely, the higher the third priority of the first part of the CSI, the higher the priority for retaining.

[0348] Table 2 illustrates the third priority level. As shown in Table 2, assume there are N... REP One CSI report, N REP A CSI report consists of N CSI subgroups, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The third priority is determined in the following order: first, for N... REP For each CSI report, all broadband CSIs within a CSI subgroup have the same and highest priority. For example, suppose there are two CSI reports, denoted as CSI report 1 and CSI report 2. Each CSI report includes three CSI parts, or three CSI subgroups, denoted as CSI subgroup1, CSI subgroup2, and CSI subgroup3. In this case, all broadband CSIs within a CSI subgroup have the same and highest priority. The next priority is for N... REP For each CSI report, if the CSI report number and the CSI sub-group number are both small, then the Part 2 CSIs in the even-numbered subbands of the CSI sub-group of that CSI report have higher priority; for N REPFor each CSI report, the smaller the CSI report number and the smaller the CSI sub-group number, the higher the priority of Part 2 CSI in the odd-numbered subbands of that CSI report's CSI sub-group. However, if the CSI reports have the same number, the higher the priority of the even-numbered subbands of CSI in the first part of the CSI report, the higher the priority of the odd-numbered subbands of CSI in the first part of the CSI report. For example, assuming there are two CSI reports, denoted as CSI report 1 and CSI report 2, and each CSI report includes three CSI parts (i.e., three CSI sub-groups), denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3, then for CSI report 1, the even-numbered subbands of CSI sub-group1 of CSI report 1 have the highest priority, followed by the even-numbered subbands of Part 2 CSI in CSI sub-group2 of CSI report 1, and then the CSI in the first part of CSI report 1. The highest priority is given to Part 2 CSIs of even-numbered subbands in sub-group 3, followed by Part 2 CSIs of odd-numbered subbands in CSI sub-group 1 of CSI report 1. Next, the highest priority is given to Part 2 CSIs of odd-numbered subbands in CSI sub-group 2 of CSI report 1, and then Part 2 CSIs of odd-numbered subbands in CSI sub-group 3 of CSI report 1. For the same CSI report 1, Part 2 CSIs of even-numbered subbands in a CSI sub-group have a higher priority than Part 2 CSIs of odd-numbered subbands in the same CSI sub-group. For CSI report 2, the determination of the third priority is similar to that of CSI report 1.

[0349] Table 2

[0350] This example has the following advantages:

[0351] (1) The first information includes N CSI parts, i.e. N CSI sub-groups. The second information in the CSI report is discarded according to the first method. The second information is a part of the first information or the first information.

[0352] Specifically, based on the CRIs contained in the CSI report, or the CSI reference signal resources corresponding to the CSI report, or the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRIs contained in the CSI report in the CSI report, or the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRIs contained in the CSI report in the uplink control information bit sequence, or the third priority, the second information in the CSI report is discarded.

[0353] Example 2

[0354] In the case where a CSI report includes first information, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to a first method. The first information includes N third information items; the N third information items are N-Nr fourth information items and / or Nr fifth information items, where the fourth information items are CRI and their corresponding CSI information, and the fifth information items are CSI information corresponding to CSI reference signal resources, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, Nr is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and the second information is a part of the first information, or is the first information itself.

[0355] Here, N-Nr fourth pieces of information can refer to N-Nr groups of information, namely N-Nr CRIs and their corresponding CSI information. Each group of information includes the CSI information corresponding to the CRI, specifically one reported CRI, one RI, one PMI, one or two CQIs, etc.

[0356] Here, Nr fifth pieces of information can refer to Nr groups of information, that is, the CSI information corresponding to Nr CSI reference signal resources. Each group of information includes the CSI information corresponding to the CSI reference signal resources, specifically 0 or 1 CRI, 1 RI, 1 PMI, 1 or 2 CQI, etc.

[0357] The following example illustrates the process of discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the first method, using the first information as an example, which includes N-Nr fourth information items and Nr fifth information items.

[0358] Here, a CSI report supports the reporting of N-Nr fourth information items and Nr fifth information items, where each fourth information item includes 0 or 1 CRI, and each fifth information item includes 0 or 1 CRI.

[0359] Thus, according to the first method, discarding the second information in the CSI report may include: determining a first priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report based on the CRI contained in the CSI report; and discarding the first part of the CSI in the CSI report according to the first priority.

[0360] Specifically, determining the first priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report based on the CRI included in the CSI report may include:

[0361] The smaller the CRI value included in the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI report;

[0362] or,

[0363] The higher the CRI value included in the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI report.

[0364] or,

[0365] The higher the order of the reported CRIs in the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI report.

[0366] In other words, the smaller the value of the CRI included in the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI report, i.e., the fourth or fifth information; or, the larger the value of the CRI included in the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI report, i.e., the fourth or fifth information; or, the earlier the CRI included in the CSI report is reported, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI report, i.e., the fourth or fifth information.

[0367] In practical applications, discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the first method may further include: determining the first priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report based on the CSI reference signal resources corresponding to the CSI report; and discarding the first part of the CSI in the CSI report according to the first priority.

[0368] Specifically, the method for determining the first priority may include:

[0369] The smaller the index of the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report;

[0370] or,

[0371] The larger the index of the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report;

[0372] or,

[0373] If the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report appears earlier in the CSI reference signal resource set, then the first part of the CSI in the CSI report has a higher priority.

[0374] or,

[0375] The later the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report is in the CSI reference signal resource set, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report.

[0376] or,

[0377] If the configuration order of the CSI reference signal resources for channel measurement in the Nr unreported CRIs is earlier, then the priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report is higher.

[0378] Furthermore, discarding the first portion of the CSI report according to the first priority may include:

[0379] The lower the first priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority of discarding it; conversely, the higher the first priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority of retaining it.

[0380] In practical applications, discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the first method may further include: determining the second priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report based on the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRIs in the CSI report, or based on the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRIs contained in the CSI report in the uplink control information bit sequence; and discarding the first part of the CSI in the CSI report according to the second priority.

[0381] Specifically, the method for determining the second priority may include:

[0382] If the CRIs included in the CSI report appear earlier in the CSI report or in the corresponding order, then the first part of the CSI in the CSI report has a higher priority.

[0383] or,

[0384] If the CRIs included in the CSI report are listed later in the CSI report, the first part of the CSI in the CSI report has a higher priority.

[0385] or,

[0386] If the CRI included in the CSI report appears earlier in the uplink control information bit sequence, the higher the priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report.

[0387] or,

[0388] If the CRI contained in the CSI report is placed later in the uplink control information bit sequence, the first part of the CSI in the CSI report has a higher priority.

[0389] or,

[0390] If the configuration order of the CSI reference signal resources for channel measurement in the Nr unreported CRIs is earlier, then the priority of the first part of the CSI in the CSI report is higher.

[0391] Furthermore, discarding the first portion of the CSI report according to the second priority may include:

[0392] The lower the second priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority of discarding; conversely, the higher the second priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority of retaining.

[0393] In practical applications, in addition to discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the first method, it may also include discarding the first part of the CSI report according to the third priority.

[0394] Here, the third priority is determined in the following order:

[0395] For multiple CSI reports, the broadband CSIs included in the first part of each CSI report have the same priority and the highest priority;

[0396] For multiple CSI reports, if the number of the CSI report is smaller and the number of the CSI section is smaller, then the even-numbered subband CSIs contained in the first part of the CSI report have higher priority.

[0397] For multiple CSI reports, if the number of the CSI report is smaller and the number of the CSI section is smaller, then the odd-numbered subband CSIs contained in the first part of the CSI report have higher priority.

[0398] If the CSI reports have the same number, the even-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report have a higher priority than the odd-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report.

[0399] Here, the CSI report includes N-Nr fourth pieces of information and Nr fifth pieces of information; the statement that for multiple CSI reports, the broadband CSIs contained in the first part of each CSI report have the same priority and the highest priority can mean that the broadband CSIs in all the fourth and / or fifth pieces of information have the same priority.

[0400] Here, the priority of the even-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report may refer to the priority of the even-numbered subband CSI Part 2 CSI in the fourth and / or fifth information of the CSI report.

[0401] Here, the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report may refer to the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSI Part 2 CSI in the fourth and / or fifth information of the CSI report.

[0402] Furthermore, the step of discarding the first portion of the CSI report according to the third priority may include:

[0403] The lower the third priority of the first part of the CSI, the higher the priority for discarding; conversely, the higher the third priority of the first part of the CSI, the higher the priority for retaining.

[0404] This example has the following advantages:

[0405] (1) The first information includes N CSI parts, namely N-Nr fourth information and Nr fifth information. The second information in the CSI report is discarded according to the first method. The second information is a part of the first information or the first information.

[0406] Specifically, based on the CRI corresponding to the CSI report, or the CSI reference signal resource corresponding to the CSI report, or the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRI corresponding to the CSI report in the CSI report, or the arrangement order or corresponding order of the CRI corresponding to the CSI report in the uplink control information bit sequence, or the third priority, the second information in the CSI report is discarded.

[0407] Example 3

[0408] In the case where a CSI report includes first information, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to the second method. The first information includes N third information items; the N third information items are N CSI parts, N fourth information items, or N fifth information items. The fourth information items are CRI and their corresponding CSI information, the fifth information items are CSI information corresponding to CSI reference signal resources, N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the second information is a part of the first information, or the first information itself.

[0409] Here, N CSI parts can refer to N CSI subgroups, where each CSI subgroup includes 0 or 1 CRI.

[0410] Here, N fourth pieces of information can refer to N sets of information, namely N CRIs and their corresponding CSI information. Each set of information includes CRIs and their corresponding CSI information, specifically 1 CRI, 1 RI, 1 PMI, 1 or 2 CQIs, etc.

[0411] Here, N pieces of fifth information can refer to N sets of information, that is, the CSI information corresponding to N CSI reference signal resources. Each set of information includes the CSI information corresponding to the CSI reference signal resources, specifically 0 or 1 CRI, 1 RI, 1 PMI, 1 or 2 CQI, etc.

[0412] The following example illustrates the process of discarding the second information in a CSI report according to the second method, using the first information as an example, which includes N CSI parts.

[0413] Here, the method of discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the second approach includes:

[0414] The first part of the CSI report is discarded according to the fourth priority.

[0415] The fourth priority is determined in the following order:

[0416] For multiple CSI reports, the broadband CSIs included in the first part of each CSI report have the same priority and the highest priority;

[0417] For multiple CSI reports, if the number of the CSI report is smaller and the number of the CSI section is smaller, then the first part of the CSI report has a higher priority.

[0418] Wherein, if the CSI reports have the same number and the CSI parts have the same number, then the even-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report have a higher priority than the odd-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report; if the CSI reports have the same number and the number of the first CSI part is less than the number of the second CSI part, then the odd-numbered subband CSIs included in the first CSI part have a higher priority than the even-numbered subband CSIs included in the second CSI part; the first CSI part and the second CSI part are different.

[0419] Here, the CSI report includes N CSI parts, or N CSI subgroups.

[0420] Here, the statement that for multiple CSI reports, the broadband CSIs contained in the first part of each CSI report have the same priority and the highest priority can mean that the broadband CSIs in all CSI subgroups have the same priority.

[0421] Here, the priority of the even-numbered subbands of CSI included in the first part of the CSI report may refer to the priority of the even-numbered subbands of CSI Part 2 CSI in the CSI sub-group of the CSI report.

[0422] Here, the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report may refer to the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSI Part 2 CSI in the CSI sub-group of the CSI report.

[0423] Here, the first CSI part can refer to the first CSI sub-group among N CSI sub-groups; the second CSI part can refer to the second CSI sub-group among N CSI sub-groups; the number of the first CSI sub-group is less than the number of the second CSI sub-group.

[0424] Furthermore, the step of discarding the first portion of the CSI report according to the fourth priority may include:

[0425] The lower the fourth priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority for discarding; conversely, the higher the fourth priority of the first part of CSI, the higher the priority for retention.

[0426] Table 3 illustrates the fourth priority level. As shown in Table 3, assume there are N... REP One CSI report, N REP A CSI report consists of N CSI subgroups, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 1. The fourth priority is determined in the following order: first, for N... REP For each CSI report, all broadband CSIs within a CSI subgroup have the same and highest priority. For example, suppose there are two CSI reports, denoted as CSI report 1 and CSI report 2. Each CSI report includes three CSI parts, or three CSI subgroups, denoted as CSI subgroup1, CSI subgroup2, and CSI subgroup3. In this case, all broadband CSIs within a CSI subgroup have the same and highest priority. The next priority is for N... REPFor each CSI report, the smaller the CSI report number and the smaller the CSI section number, the higher the priority of the CSI sub-group of the CSI report. Specifically, if the CSI report numbers and CSI section numbers are the same, the even-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report have a higher priority than the odd-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report. If the CSI report numbers are the same and the number of the first CSI section is less than the number of the second CSI section, the odd-numbered subband CSIs included in the first CSI section have a higher priority than the even-numbered subband CSIs included in the second CSI section. For example, assuming there are two CSI reports, denoted as CSI report 1 and CSI report 2, and each CSI report includes three CSI sections, or three CSI sub-groups, denoted as CSI sub-group1, CSI sub-group2, and CSI sub-group3, then for CSI report 1, the even-numbered subband CSI section 2 (Part...) of CSI sub-group1 of CSI report 1 has a higher priority than the odd-numbered subband CSIs included in the first part of the CSI report. The priority of Part 2 CSI in CSI Report 1 is higher than that of Part 2 CSI in the odd-numbered subbands of CSI subgroup 1. Next, the priority of Part 2 CSI in the even-numbered subbands of CSI subgroup 2 in CSI Report 1 is higher than that of Part 2 CSI in the odd-numbered subbands of CSI subgroup 2 in CSI Report 1. Finally, the priority of Part 2 CSI in the even-numbered subbands of CSI subgroup 3 in CSI Report 1 is higher than that of Part 2 CSI in the odd-numbered subbands of CSI subgroup 3 in CSI Report 1. For CSI Report 2, the fourth priority is determined in a similar way to that of CSI Report 1.

[0427] Table 3

[0428] Here, if the downlink channel has strong frequency selectivity and the differences between the measured N CSI subgroups are small, such as the RI / PMI contained in each of the N CSI subgroups having a large overlap, or the CQI contained are similar, then the frequency band-priority CSI dropping method can be selected.

[0429] This example has the following advantages:

[0430] (1) The first information includes N CSI parts, i.e. N CSI sub-groups. The second information in the CSI report is discarded according to the second method. The second information is a part of the first information or the first information.

[0431] Specifically, based on the fourth priority, the second piece of information in the CSI report is discarded.

[0432] Example 4

[0433] In the case where a CSI report includes first information, the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to the priority of the N third information items. The first information includes N third information items; the N third information items are N CSI parts, N fourth information items, or N fifth information items. The fourth information is the CRI and its corresponding CSI information, the fifth information is the CSI information corresponding to the CSI reference signal resource, N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and the second information is a part of the first information or the first information itself.

[0434] Here, N CSI parts can refer to N CSI subgroups, where each CSI subgroup includes 0 or 1 CRI.

[0435] Here, N fourth pieces of information can refer to N sets of information, namely N CRIs and their corresponding CSI information. Each set of information includes CRIs and their corresponding CSI information, specifically 1 CRI, 1 RI, 1 PMI, 1 or 2 CQIs, etc.

[0436] Here, N pieces of fifth information can refer to N sets of information, that is, the CSI information corresponding to N CSI reference signal resources. Each set of information includes the CSI information corresponding to the CSI reference signal resources, specifically 0 or 1 CRI, 1 RI, 1 PMI, 1 or 2 CQI, etc.

[0437] The following example illustrates the process of discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the priority of the N third information items, using the first information as an example.

[0438] Here, the priority of the N third pieces of information is determined in the following ways:

[0439] Determine at least one of the following parameters: a first parameter, a second parameter, a third parameter, a fourth parameter, a fifth parameter, and a sixth parameter; wherein, the first parameter represents the identifier associated with the CSI portion, or the identifier of the CRI, or the value of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CSI portion; the second parameter represents the maximum number of CSIs configured by the higher layer, or the maximum number of CRIs that can be supported, or the maximum number of CSIs that can be supported per CSI report, or the maximum number of CSIs that can be supported corresponding to the maximum number of CSI reference signal resources; the third parameter represents the CSI report type; the fourth parameter represents the CSI type carried in the CSI report; the fifth parameter represents the serving cell index; and the sixth parameter represents the CSI report configuration identifier.

[0440] The priority of the N pieces of third information is determined based on at least one of the first parameter, the second parameter, the third parameter, the fourth parameter, the fifth parameter, and the sixth parameter;

[0441] The determination of the priority of the N third pieces of information includes one of the following:

[0442] Determine the priority of each of the N CSI sections;

[0443] Determine the priority of each of the N pieces of fourth information;

[0444] Determine the priority of each of the N pieces of fifth information.

[0445] Here, discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the priority of the N third information pieces includes:

[0446] According to the priority of the N CSI sections, the CSI sections in the CSI report are discarded;

[0447] or,

[0448] According to the priority of the N fourth pieces of information, the CRI and the corresponding CSI information in the CSI report are discarded;

[0449] or,

[0450] According to the priority of the N fifth pieces of information, the CSI information corresponding to the N CSI reference signal resources in the CSI report is discarded.

[0451] Here, a priority formula is defined for the N CSI sections (N CSI sub-groups) in a CSI report, with each CSI sub-group having an independent priority. This priority calculation formula must be derived from at least the sub-group ID, CRI ID, or CRI contained within the CSI sub-group.

[0452] Here, taking the determination of the priority of one CSI part out of N CSI parts as an example, the priority of that CSI part is calculated according to the following formula, as follows:

[0453] PriCSIGroup_i(y,k,c,s,x)=2×Ncells×Ms×N×y+Ncells×Ms×N×k+Ms×N×c+N×s+x;

[0454] in,

[0455] PriCSIGroup_i(y,k,c,s,x) represents the priority of the i-th CSI part out of N CSI parts, where i ranges from 1 to N, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

[0456] Ncells represents the value of the high-level parameter maxNrofServingCells;

[0457] Ms is the value of the high-level parameter maxNrofCSI-ReportConfigurations;

[0458] x is the first parameter, which represents the identifier associated with the CSI part, or the identifier of the CRI, or the value of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CSI part. That is, it is the sub-group ID contained in or associated with the CSI sub-group, or the CRI ID, or the value of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CRI, or the relative position identifier of the CSI part.

[0459] The CRI ID definition can be one of the following:

[0460] Definition 1: There are N CRIs in N CSI subgroups. After sorting the N CRIs in ascending order, the ID of the x-th smallest CRI is x, where x = 0, ..., N-1, and N is an integer greater than 1.

[0461] Definition 2: The CRI ID corresponding to the x-th CRI in the uplink control information (UCI) bit sequence is defined as x, or the CRI ID corresponding to the x-th CSI sub-group is defined as x, where x = 0, ..., N-1.

[0462] The relative position identifier of the CRI can be determined according to the order of the CRI in the uplink control information (UCI) bit sequence. For example, if the CRI is the first in the uplink control information (UCI) bit sequence, then the relative position identifier of the CRI can be 0 or 1.

[0463] The relative position identifier of the CSI part can be determined according to the arrangement order of the CSI part among the N CSI parts. For example, if the CSI part is the first in the arrangement order among the N CSI parts, then the relative position identifier of the CSI part is 0 or 1.

[0464] N is the second parameter, which represents the maximum number of CSIs configured by the higher layer (maximum number of CSI subgroups) or the maximum number of CRI reports that can be supported, or the maximum number of CSIs that each CSI report can support or the maximum number of CRI reports that can be supported or the maximum number of CSI reports corresponding to the maximum number of CSI reference signal resources that can be supported.

[0465] y is a third parameter that characterizes the CSI report type. Specifically, for a non-periodic CSI report carried on PUSCH, y = 0; for a semi-persistent CSI report carried on PUSCH, y = 1; for a semi-persistent CSI report carried on PUCCH, y = 2; and for a periodic CSI report carried on PUCCH, y = 3.

[0466] k is the fourth parameter, which represents the type of CSI carried in the CSI report. Specifically, for a CSI report carrying L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, k = 0; for a CSI report not carrying L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, k = 1.

[0467] c is the fifth parameter, which is the serving cell index, i.e., the serving cell index configured in the higher-layer signaling.

[0468] s is the sixth parameter, which represents the CSI report configuration identifier, namely the reportConfigID of the higher-level signaling configuration.

[0469] Here, according to the above formula, if the calculated PriCSIGroup_#1(y,k,c,s,x) corresponding to CSI sub-group#1 is less than the PriCSIGroup_#2(y,k,c,s,x) corresponding to CSI sub-group#2, then the priority of CSI sub-group#1 is higher than that of CSI sub-group#2.

[0470] In other words, determining the priority of each of the N CSI parts can include:

[0471] Multiply the second parameter and the third parameter to obtain the first value;

[0472] The second value is obtained by multiplying the second parameter and the fourth parameter.

[0473] The third value is obtained by multiplying the second parameter and the fifth parameter.

[0474] The product of the second parameter and the sixth parameter is used to obtain the fourth value;

[0475] Based on the first value, the second value, the third value, the fourth value, and the value of the first parameter, the fifth value is obtained;

[0476] The fifth value is used as the priority for each of the N CSI parts.

[0477] It should be noted that the process of calculating the priority of each fourth or fifth piece of information is similar to the process of calculating the priority of each CSI section, and will not be repeated here.

[0478] In practical application, if K CSI reports contain M pieces of third information, the second information in the CSI reports is discarded according to the priority of the M pieces of third information.

[0479] Wherein, K and M are both integers greater than or equal to 1; the M third pieces of information are M CSI parts, M fourth pieces of information, or M fifth pieces of information;

[0480] The priority of the M pieces of third information is determined in the following order:

[0481] For the M third pieces of information, the broadband CSI contained in each third piece of information has the same priority and the highest priority;

[0482] For M pieces of third information, if the priority of the third information is higher, then the priority of the even-numbered subband CSIs contained in the third information is higher, and the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSIs contained in the third information is higher; wherein, for the same piece of third information, the priority of the even-numbered subband CSIs contained in the third information is higher than the priority of the odd-numbered subband CSIs contained in the third information.

[0483] Here, taking M third pieces of information as M CSI parts, i.e. M CSI subgroups, as an example, the priority of the broadband CSIs contained in each third piece of information is the same and the highest priority can mean that the priority of broadband CSIs in all CSI subgroups is the same.

[0484] Here, the priority of the third information can be determined based on at least one of the first parameter, the second parameter, the third parameter, the fourth parameter, the fifth parameter, and the sixth parameter.

[0485] Furthermore, discarding the second information in the CSI report according to the priority of the M pieces of third information may include:

[0486] The lower the priority, the more likely it is to be discarded; conversely, the higher the priority, the more likely it is to be retained.

[0487] Table 4 illustrates the priorities of M third-party information reports. As shown in Table 4, assuming there are K CSI reports, and each CSI report includes N CSI parts (i.e., N CSI sub-groups), where K and N are integers greater than or equal to 1, there are a total of K × N = M CSI sub-groups. Priority 0 is the highest priority, and Priority 2M is the lowest priority. CSI sub-group m is the m-th highest priority among the M CSI sub-groups. The priorities of the M CSI sub-groups are determined in the following order: First, for each of the M CSI sub-groups, the broadband CSIs contained in Part 2 of each CSI sub-group have the same and highest priority. For example, assuming there are M = 3 CSI sub-groups, then the broadband CSIs contained in all CSI sub-groups have the same and highest priority. Second, for each of the M CSI sub-groups, the higher the priority of the CSI sub-group, the higher the priority of the CSI sub-group. The higher the priority of CSI in an even-numbered subgroup, the higher the priority of CSI in an odd-numbered subgroup.Within the same CSI subgroup, the CSIs in an even-numbered subband have a higher priority than those in an odd-numbered subband. For example, assuming there are M = 3 CSI subgroups, denoted as CSI subgroup1, CSI subgroup2, and CSI subgroup3, if CSI subgroup1 has the highest priority, followed by CSI subgroup2, and then CSI subgroup3 has the lowest priority, then the CSIs in an even-numbered subband of CSI subgroup1 have the highest priority, and their priority is higher than their priority in an odd-numbered subband. Next, the CSIs in an even-numbered subband of CSI subgroup2 have the next highest priority, and their priority is higher than their priority in an odd-numbered subband. The next highest priority is for the CSI subgroups within CSI subgroup3. The CSI with even-numbered subbands in sub-group3 has the lowest priority, and the CSI with even-numbered subbands in CSI sub-group3 has a higher priority than the CSI with odd-numbered subbands in CSI sub-group3.

[0488] Table 4

[0489] Example 5

[0490] Considering that the terminal can use measured channel characteristics, such as downlink channel frequency selectivity, beam differences between multiple measurement resources, and CQI differences, to determine whether a particular discarding method is more suitable for its channel characteristics, the terminal decides which discarding method to use, i.e., the terminal sends the CSI report to the network device; the CSI report includes an indication field; the indication field is used to indicate the method used to discard the second information in the CSI report.

[0491] For example, assuming the indication field occupies 1 bit, when the codepoint of the indication field is 0, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the first way; when the codepoint of the indication field is 1, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the second way.

[0492] For example, assuming the indication field occupies 2 bits, when the codepoint of the indication field is 00, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the first way; when the codepoint of the indication field is 01, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded in the second way; when the codepoint of the indication field is 10, it means that the second information in the CSI report is discarded according to the priority of N third information.
