CSI Beam Reporting for TRP-Specific Multi-TRP Scheduling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile communication systems face challenges in TRP-specific beam reporting, as current group-based beam reporting methods do not accurately determine whether channel measurement resources (CMRs) are from the same or different transmission and reception points (TRPs), limiting the flexibility and effectiveness of beam reporting for multi-TRP scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A method and device for TRP-specific beam reporting that allows terminals to report up to four pairs/groups of simultaneously receivable CMR pairs from different TRPs, with specific criteria for CSI reporting based on whether CMRs can be simultaneously received, considering panel type, synchronous/asynchronous reception, and TRP association, and optimizing payload structure for efficient reporting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If group-based beam reporting is used to report CMR combinations, then the terminal can report simultaneously receivable CMRs, but it cannot determine whether the CMRs are from the same TRP or different TRPs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the beam reporting process into two distinct parts: intra-TRP beam reporting (within the same TRP) and inter-TRP beam reporting (across different TRPs). This segmentation allows the system to separately handle and identify beams from different TRPs, solving the problem of TRP identification information loss in traditional group-based reporting.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (separate reporting structures and identification fields) that bridges the gap between beam measurement and TRP identification. This intermediary enables the terminal to report beam quality while simultaneously indicating the TRP source, preventing information loss.
2Adaptability or versatility
If only simultaneously receivable M-TRP beam pairs are reported, then the reporting constraint is satisfied, but the flexibility and effectiveness of beam reporting is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic beam reporting where the terminal can adaptively select between reporting simultaneously receivable beam pairs and non-simultaneously receivable beam pairs based on channel conditions and TRP configurations. This dynamic approach enhances flexibility while maintaining reporting efficiency through intelligent selection criteria.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the reporting parameters by introducing separate reporting structures for different TRP scenarios, allowing the system to adjust reporting behavior based on whether beams are from the same TRP or different TRPs. This parameter change enables flexible adaptation to various multi-TRP deployment scenarios.
3Measurement precision
If TRP-specific beam reporting is implemented, then accurate TRP identification is achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the reporting structure into standardized components that can be independently configured for different TRP scenarios. This segmentation reduces device complexity by allowing modular implementation of TRP-specific reporting features rather than requiring complete redesign of the reporting framework.

AI summary
A method for reporting channel state information (CSI) by a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present specification comprises the steps of: receiving configuration information related to channel state information (CSI): receiving a downlink reference signal (DL RS); calculating the CSI on the basis of the DL RS; and reporting the CSI. The CSI relates to group-based beam reporting, and a specific reference for the CSI reporting may be set for each group on the basis of the configuration information. The CSI includes information on one or more of DL RSs on the basis of the specific reference for each group.
