This example will be described later with reference to the definition of subband sizes (subbands sizes) in TS36.213 Table (Table)7.2.1 to 5. Wherein said Table (Table)7.2.1-5 can be seen in Table 1:
TABLE 1
Preferably, the preset time domain position in this embodiment may be a position preset according to an actual situation, for example, the position located at the 2 nd and 3 rd symbol positions in the time domain may be selected as the preset time domain position.
In addition, the embodiment specifically provides a manner of determining the number of M, including:
and determining the number M of 32-port CSI-RS signals capable of being transmitted in the K PRBs based on the number of PRBs corresponding to the system bandwidth and the number K of PRBs contained in each sub-band.
Further, the present embodiment performs detailed description of the operation of determining M with the following three examples:
examples one,
The determining, based on the number of PRBs corresponding to the system bandwidth and the number K of PRBs included in each subband, the number M of CSI-RS signals of 32 ports that can be transmitted in the K PRBs includes:
when the number of PRBs corresponding to the system bandwidth is within a first threshold range and the number of PRBs included in each subband is two, determining that the number M of CSI-RS signals of 32 ports that can be transmitted in the K PRBs is one, where the first threshold range may be greater than or equal to eight and less than or equal to twenty-six.
Based on the number of PRBs corresponding to the system bandwidth and the number of PRBs corresponding to each sub-band bandwidth, it may be determined that the transmission mode scenario defined in table 1 above in the protocol corresponding to this example is; further, M can be determined based on the number of PRBs each subband contains.
It should be understood that each PRB may include 7 × 12 Resource Elements (REs), that is, corresponding to 7 symbols in the time domain and 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain, where each RE corresponds to 1 symbol in the time domain and 1 subcarrier in the frequency domain; at least 32 REs are required if a 32-port CSI-RS signal needs to be carried.
Since two symbols consecutive in the time domain are selected in each PRB in this embodiment, that is, at least 16 subcarriers of REs in the frequency domain can carry a CSI-RS signal of 32 ports.
For example, as described with reference to fig. 2 and table 1, the System bandwidth (System bandwidth):8-26, a certain sub-band (subband) includes 2 PRBs, PRB x and PRB x +1, and the position pattern of a 32-port CSI-RS carried and transmitted in the 2 PRBs may be to select a partial RE in each PRB. In addition, the above pattern is only an example, and actually, all REs in one PRB may be selected, and then a part of REs in another PRB that are consecutive to the previous PRB may be selected as long as 16 consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain.
Examples two,
The determining, based on the number of PRBs corresponding to the system bandwidth and the number K of PRBs included in each subband, the number M of CSI-RS signals of 32 ports that can be transmitted in the K PRBs includes:
when the number of PRBs corresponding to the system bandwidth is within a second threshold range and the number of PRBs included in each subband is three, determining that the number M of CSI-RS signals of 32 ports that can be transmitted in the K PRBs is two, where the second threshold range may be greater than or equal to twenty-seven and less than or equal to sixty-three.
Based on the number of PRBs corresponding to the system bandwidth and the number of PRBs corresponding to each sub-band bandwidth, it may be determined that the transmission mode scenario defined in table 1 above in the protocol corresponding to this example is; further, M can be determined based on the number of PRBs each subband contains.
It should be understood that each PRB may include 7 × 12 Resource Elements (REs), that is, corresponding to 7 symbols in the time domain and 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain, where each RE corresponds to 1 symbol in the time domain and 1 subcarrier in the frequency domain; if a 32-port CSI-RS signal needs to be carried, at least 32 REs are required. Since two symbols consecutive in the time domain are selected in each PRB in this embodiment, that is, at least 16 subcarriers of REs in the frequency domain can carry a CSI-RS signal of 32 ports.
For example, referring to fig. 3 and table 1, System bandwidth (System bandwidth):27-63, one sub-band (subband) includes 3 PRBs: 4 PRBs: PRB x, PRB x +1, PRB x +2, and the position pattern of 2 32-port CSI-RSs carried and transmitted in the 3 PRBs can be as shown in fig. 3.
Examples III,

when the number of PRBs corresponding to the system bandwidth is within a third threshold range and the number of PRBs included in each subband is four, determining that the number M of CSI-RS signals of 32 ports that can be transmitted in the K PRBs is three, where the third threshold range may be greater than or equal to sixty-four and less than or equal to 110.
Based on the number of PRBs corresponding to the system bandwidth and the number of PRBs corresponding to each sub-band bandwidth, it may be determined that the transmission mode scenario defined in table 1 above in the protocol corresponding to this example is; further, M can be determined based on the number of PRBs each subband contains.
It should be understood that each PRB may include 7 × 12 Resource Elements (REs), that is, corresponding to 7 symbols in the time domain and 12 subcarriers in the frequency domain, where each RE corresponds to 1 symbol in the time domain and 1 subcarrier in the frequency domain; if a 32-port CSI-RS signal needs to be carried, at least 32 REs are required. Since two symbols consecutive in the time domain are selected in each PRB in this embodiment, that is, at least 16 subcarriers of REs in the frequency domain can carry a CSI-RS signal of 32 ports.
For example, referring to fig. 4 and table 1, System bandwidth (System bandwidth):27-63, one sub-band (subband) includes 4 PRBs, PRB x +1, PRB x +2, and PRB x +3, and the position pattern of 3 32-port CSI-RSs carried and transmitted in the 4 PRBs can be as shown in fig. 4.
The following describes the density that can be achieved after determining the resource location for mapping the CSI-RS signals according to the above three examples:
in one example, the System bandwidth is 8-26RBs, and the sub size k is 2RBs, where 2 PRBs of one sub include one complete 32port CSI-RS, and the density is 0.5 RE/port/PRB.
In example two, the System bandwidth is 27-63RBs, and the sub size k is 3RBs, and 3 PRBs of one sub include 2 complete 32port CSI-RS, and the density is 0.67 RE/port/PRB.
In the example three, the System bandwidth is 64-110RBs, and the sub band size k is 4RBs, wherein 4 PRBs of one sub band contain 3 complete 32port CSI-RS, and the density is 0.75 RE/port/PRB.
Therefore, by adopting the scheme, continuous physical resource blocks can be selected from each sub-band, and the M32-port CSI-RS signals are mapped to the selected physical resource blocks and transmitted. Therefore, the 32-port CSI-RS signals can be transmitted from the continuous physical resource blocks in the sub-frequency band, the density of the signals is high, and the coverage performance of the 32-port CSI-RS signals is guaranteed.
Specifically, a second slot can be selected from the physical resource blocks corresponding to each sub-band, two target symbols can be selected from the second slot, and finally, the CSI-RS signals of the M32 ports are mapped to the selected target symbols and transmitted. Therefore, approximately 40 resource elements can be selected from the second time slot of each physical resource block, and the density of the M CSI-RS signals is higher after the M CSI-RS signals are mapped to the selected resource elements, so that the coverage performance of the CSI-RS signals of the 32 ports is ensured.

in one example, the System bandwidth is 8-26RBs, and the sub size k is 2RBs, where 2 PRBs of one sub include one complete 32port CSI-RS, and the density is 0.5 RE/port/PRB.
In example two, the System bandwidth is 27-63RBs, and the sub size k is 3RBs, and 3 PRBs of one sub include 2 complete 32port CSI-RS, and the density is 0.67 RE/port/PRB.
