Abstract
Description
A method and apparatus for use in nodes for wireless communication measurement reporting Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to signal transmission methods and apparatus in wireless communication systems, and more particularly to methods and apparatus related to channel state information. Background Technology
[0002] In traditional wireless communication, the UE (User Equipment) reports various auxiliary information obtained through measurements of downlink signals and / or channels, such as channel information, beam management-related auxiliary information, and positioning-related auxiliary information. Channel information includes, but is not limited to, one or more of CRI (Channel State Information Reference Signal Resource Indicator), RI (Rank Indicator), PMI (Precoding Matrix Indicator), or CQI (Channel Quality Indicator). The UE can use this information to select appropriate transmission parameters or report this information. The network equipment selects appropriate transmission parameters for the UE based on the reported information, such as the cell to be used, MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme), TPMI (Transmitted Precoding Matrix Indicator), and TCI (Transmission Configuration Indication). Furthermore, UE reporting can be used to optimize network parameters, such as improving cell coverage and switching base stations on / off based on the UE's location.
[0003] In traditional cellular communication, the antenna port is used to describe reference signal resources; unlike the physical antenna, the antenna port can be considered a virtualization / overlay operation of the physical antenna.
[0004] In NR Rel-18 (Release-18), research on AI (Artificial Intelligence) / ML (Machine Learning) technologies was initiated to explore their impact on system performance and system design. Compared to traditional processing methods, AI / ML has characteristics such as being training-based and requiring deployment. According to the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) standard TS 38.300, AI / ML models and algorithms are outside the scope of 3GPP. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The applicant's research found that in future communication systems, especially after the introduction of AI / ML functions, the granularity of existing air interface resource scheduling and link direction configuration will be more flexible, and the granularity of channel information reporting or feedback will also be more flexible. Therefore, there is room for further optimization in the existing UE reporting.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this application discloses a solution. It should be noted that while the NR system is used as an example in the above description, this application is also applicable to scenarios such as future 6G systems, achieving similar technical effects. Furthermore, although this application is initially intended for AI / ML scenarios, it can also be applied to other non-AI / ML scenarios. Furthermore, adopting a unified design scheme for different scenarios (such as other non-AI / ML scenarios, including but not limited to Vehicle to Everything (V2X), capacity enhancement systems, short-range communication systems, NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network), IoT (Internet of Things), and URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication) networks) helps reduce hardware complexity and cost.

[0362] Example 3

[0364] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an embodiment of the wireless protocol architecture for the user plane 350 and the control plane 300. Figure 3 shows the wireless protocol architecture for the control plane 300 between a first communication node device (UE or RSU in V2X, onboard equipment or onboard communication module) and a second node device (gNB, RSU in UE or V2X, onboard equipment or onboard communication module), or between two UEs, using three layers: Layer 1 (L1), Layer 2 (L2), and Layer 3 (L3). L1 is the lowest layer and implements various PHY (Physical layer) signal processing functions. L1 will be referred to herein as PHY 301. L2305 is above PHY 301 and is responsible for the link between the first node device and the second node device, or between two UEs, through PHY 301. L2305 includes a MAC (Medium Access Control) sublayer 302, an RLC (Radio Link Control) sublayer 303, and a PDCP (Packet Data Convergence Protocol) sublayer 304, which terminate at the second node device. The PDCP sublayer 304 provides multiplexing between different radio bearers and logical channels. It also provides security through encrypted data packets and supports cross-cell mobility between the second communication node devices and the first communication node device. The RLC sublayer 303 provides upper-layer packet segmentation and reassembly, retransmission of lost packets, and packet reordering to compensate for out-of-order reception due to HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest). The MAC sublayer 302 provides multiplexing between logical and transport channels. It is also responsible for allocating various radio resources (e.g., resource blocks) within a cell between the first communication node devices. Furthermore, the MAC sublayer 302 handles HARQ operations. The RRC (Radio Resource Control) sublayer 306 in L3 of the control plane 300 is responsible for obtaining radio resources (i.e., radio bearers) and using RRC signaling between the second communication node device and the first communication node device to configure the lower layer.The wireless protocol architecture of user plane 350 includes Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2). The wireless protocol architecture for the first and second communication node devices in user plane 350 is largely the same as the corresponding layers and sublayers in control plane 300 for Physical Layer 351, PDCP sublayer 354 in L2355, RLC sublayer 353 in L2355, and MAC sublayer 352 in L2355. However, PDCP sublayer 354 also provides header compression for upper-layer packets to reduce wireless transmission overhead. L2355 in user plane 350 also includes SDAP (Service Data Adaptation Protocol) sublayer 356. SDAP sublayer 356 is responsible for mapping between QoS (Quality of Service) streams and Data Radio Bearer (DRB) to support service diversity. Although not illustrated, the first communication node device may have several upper layers above L2355, including a network layer (e.g., IP (Internet Protocol) layer) terminating at the P-GW on the network side and an application layer terminating at the other end of the connection (e.g., remote UE, server, etc.).

[0376] Example 4
[0377] Example 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a first communication device and a second communication device according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 is a block diagram of a first communication device 410 and a second communication device 450 communicating with each other in an access network.
[0378] The first communication device 410 includes a controller / processor 475, a memory 476, a receiver processor 470, a transmitter processor 416, a multi-antenna receiver processor 472, a multi-antenna transmitter processor 471, a transmitter / receiver 418, and an antenna 420.
[0379] The second communication device 450 includes a controller / processor 459, a memory 460, a data source 467, a transmitting processor 468, a receiving processor 456, a multi-antenna transmitting processor 457, a multi-antenna receiving processor 458, a transmitter / receiver 454, and an antenna 452.
[0380] In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the first communication device 410, upper-layer data packets from the core network are provided to the controller / processor 475. The controller / processor 475 implements L2 functionality. In the DL, the controller / processor 475 provides header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, multiplexing between logical and transport channels, and radio resource allocation to the second communication device 450 based on various priority metrics. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for HARQ operation, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the second communication device 450. The transmit processor 416 and the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 implement various signal processing functions for L1 (i.e., the physical layer). Transmit processor 416 performs encoding and interleaving to facilitate forward error correction (FEC) at the second communication device 450, and mapping of signal clusters based on various modulation schemes (e.g., Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), M-PSK, and M-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (M-QAM)). Multi-antenna transmit processor 471 performs digital spatial precoding on the encoded and modulated symbols, including codebook-based precoding and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing, generating one or more parallel streams. The transmit processor 416 then maps each parallel stream to a subcarrier, multiplexes the modulated symbols with a reference signal (e.g., a pilot) in the time and / or frequency domains, and then uses an inverse fast fourier transform (IFFT) to generate a physical channel carrying the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. The multi-antenna transmit processor 471 then performs transmit analog precoding / beamforming operations on the time-domain multicarrier symbol stream. Each transmitter 418 converts the baseband multicarrier symbol stream provided by the multi-antenna transmit processor 471 into an RF stream, which is then provided to a different antenna 420.
[0381] In the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450, at the second communication device 450, each receiver 454 receives a signal through its corresponding antenna 452. Each receiver 454 recovers the information modulated onto the radio frequency carrier and converts the radio frequency stream into a baseband multicarrier symbol stream, which is then provided to the receiver processor 456. The receiver processor 456 and the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 implement various L1 signal processing functions. The multi-antenna receiver processor 458 performs receive analog precoding / beamforming operations on the baseband multicarrier symbol stream from the receiver 454. The receiver processor 456 uses a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert the baseband multicarrier symbol stream after the receive analog precoding / beamforming operations from the time domain to the frequency domain. In the frequency domain, the physical layer data signal and the reference signal are demultiplexed by the receiver processor 456, where the reference signal is used for channel estimation, and the data signal is recovered in the multi-antenna receiver processor 458 after multi-antenna detection to recover any parallel stream destined for the second communication device 450. Symbols on each parallel stream are demodulated and recovered in the receive processor 456, generating soft decisions. The receive processor 456 then decodes and deinterleaves the soft decisions to recover the upper-layer data and control signals transmitted by the first communication device 410 over the physical channel. The upper-layer data and control signals are then provided to the controller / processor 459. The controller / processor 459 implements L2 functionality. The controller / processor 459 may be associated with a memory 460 storing program code and data. The memory 460 may be referred to as computer-readable media. In the DL, the controller / processor 459 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transmission and logical channels to recover upper-layer packets from the core network. The upper-layer packets are then provided to all protocol layers above L2. Various control signals may also be provided to L3 for L3 processing. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.
[0382] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, at the second communication device 450, a data source 467 is used to provide upper-layer data packets to the controller / processor 459. The data source 467 represents all protocol layers above L2. Similar to the transmission functions at the first communication device 410 described in the DL, the controller / processor 459 implements header compression, encryption, packet segmentation and reordering, and multiplexing between logical and transport channels based on the radio resource allocation of the first communication device 410, implementing L2 functions for the user plane and control plane. The controller / processor 459 is also responsible for HARQ operations, retransmission of lost packets, and signaling to the first communication device 410. Transmit processor 468 performs modulation mapping and channel coding processing, while multi-antenna transmit processor 457 performs digital multi-antenna spatial precoding, including codebook-based and non-codebook-based precoding, and beamforming processing. Subsequently, transmit processor 468 modulates the generated parallel stream into a multi-carrier / single-carrier symbol stream. After analog precoding / beamforming operations in multi-antenna transmit processor 457, the stream is provided to different antennas 452 via transmitter 454. Each transmitter 454 first converts the baseband symbol stream provided by multi-antenna transmit processor 457 into a radio frequency symbol stream before providing it to antenna 452.
[0383] In the transmission from the second communication device 450 to the first communication device 410, the function at the first communication device 410 is similar to the receiving function at the second communication device 450 described in the transmission from the first communication device 410 to the second communication device 450. Each receiver 418 receives radio frequency signals through its corresponding antenna 420, converts the received radio frequency signals into baseband signals, and provides the baseband signals to the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 and the receiving processor 470. The receiving processor 470 and the multi-antenna receiving processor 472 jointly implement the L1 function. The controller / processor 475 implements the L2 function. The controller / processor 475 may be associated with a memory 476 storing program code and data. The memory 476 may be referred to as computer-readable media. The controller / processor 475 provides multiplexing, packet reassembly, decryption, header decompression, and control signal processing between the transmission and logical channels to recover upper-layer data packets from the second communication device 450. The upper-layer data packets from the controller / processor 475 may be provided to the core network. The controller / processor 475 is also responsible for error detection using ACK and / or NACK protocols to support HARQ operation.

[0432] Example 6
[0433] Example 6 illustrates a schematic diagram of a resource block according to an embodiment of this application, as shown in Figure 6. In Figure 6, a cube represents a resource block, and each resource block occupies resources in at least three dimensions, namely time resources, frequency resources, and a third-dimensional resource, wherein the third dimension is a spatial domain resource or a power domain resource; optionally, a resource block occupies a fourth-dimensional resource, wherein the fourth-dimensional resource includes power domain resources or spatial domain resources.
[0434] In Embodiment 6, any resource block in the first resource group of this application occupies resources in the time domain and frequency domain respectively, and the given resource block occupies resources in at least one of the spatial domain and power domain.
[0435] As an example, the third-dimensional resource is a spatial resource.
[0436] As an example, the third-dimensional resource is a power domain resource.
[0437] As an example, each resource block occupies resources in four dimensions: time resources, frequency resources, spatial resources, and power resources.
[0438] As an example, the different resource blocks in FIG6 may have different sizes in the time domain or frequency domain. For example, in this application, the second information block is used to indicate the size of each resource block in the time domain and frequency domain.
[0439] As an example, in this application, the second information block indicates a time-frequency reference size, and the time-frequency size of any resource block in the plurality of resource block groups is equal to or less than the time-frequency reference size; according to the time-frequency reference size, the holographic resource space is divided into a plurality of resource reference blocks, and UE-specific signaling or cell-common signaling (e.g., using a bitmap) indicates whether each of the plurality of resource reference blocks needs further subdivision; if a resource reference block does not need further subdivision, this resource reference block is a single resource block; if a resource reference block needs further subdivision, the UE-specific signaling or the cell-common signaling indicates the plurality of resource blocks within this resource reference block.

The first resource block set is divided into multiple resource block groups by UE-specific signaling. In this application, the first information block indicator indicates the first resource block group from the multiple resource block groups.
[0443] As an example, the above scheme flexibly configures and indicates the granularity of resource blocks, which increases the degree of freedom in scheduling while also improving the accuracy of channel state information. The first node can more accurately indicate the channel dimension to which the channel state information applies.
[0444] As an example, the time-frequency reference size occupies one time slot in the time domain and occupies 180kHz Q1 times in the frequency domain, where Q1 is a configurable positive integer, or Q1 is implicitly determined by the carrier bandwidth.

The RAN domain ML training function 1003 is located in the RAN domain management function 1002; while the ML inference functions are located in the base stations, that is, the AI / ML inference function 1004 is located in gNB 1005, the AI / ML inference function 1006 is located in gNB 1007, and so on.

[0539] Optionally, the UE function 1103 also includes an AI / ML deployment function—not shown in Figure 11—for loading ML models and data.
