Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Example one
Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for feeding back CSI, which may be applied in a terminal, where a process of the method may be described as follows.
S201: the terminal determines S sub-bands from the N sub-bands based on a first preset criterion; the first preset criterion is used for indicating the distribution of S sub-bands in N sub-bands, the N sub-bands are sub-bands of a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) to be calculated, N is an integer greater than or equal to 1, and S is less than or equal to N;
s202: the terminal determines CSI to be fed back; the CSI to be fed back is divided into a first part CSI and a second part CSI, the first part CSI comprises CQI of each sub-band in N sub-bands, and the second part CSI comprises precoding matrix indication PMI of each sub-band in S sub-bands of the N sub-bands;
s203: and the terminal feeds back the CSI to be fed back to the base station.
In S201, the terminal may determine S subbands from the N subbands according to a first preset criterion, where a value of N may be determined by the terminal according to a bandwidth parameter configured by the system, or may also be determined by the terminal according to a user-defined manner.
In one possible implementation, the determination of S subbands may include, but is not limited to, the following:
first, the terminal may determine a value of S according to uplink channel resources allocated by the system, and then, the terminal may determine S subbands according to distribution of the S subbands in the N subbands.
For example, the terminal determines, according to the uplink channel resource allocated by the system, that the resource can support PMI transmission on 4 subbands, that is, S takes a value of 4, and since the first preset criterion indicates that the terminal uniformly selects S subbands from N subbands, the terminal may determine the 4 subbands from the N subbands according to the distribution of the subbands. For example, if N is 10, the 4 subbands determined by the terminal from the 10 subbands are respectively: subband 1, subband 4, subband 7, and subband 10.
Second, the terminal determines S subbands from the N subbands based on a preset interval, that is, the first preset criterion may be that the terminal uniformly selects S subbands from the N subbands according to the preset interval.
In practical applications, the preset interval may be set in the form of an arithmetic series, an geometric series, or the like. Taking an arithmetic progression form as an example, assuming that the arithmetic progression is 2, that is, the terminal determines S subbands from N subbands according to 1 subband between every two subbands, and if N is 10, the S subbands determined from 10 subbands by the terminal are: subband 1, subband 3, subband 5, subband 7, and subband 9, where S may be determined to be 5.
Thirdly, the terminal may determine the value of S according to the uplink channel resources allocated by the system, then the terminal may calculate the PMI and the CQI of each subband in the N subbands, rank the N subbands from large to small according to the CQI value, and determine the first S subbands in the N subbands after ranking.
The terminal can calculate the PMI of each sub-band in the N sub-bands according to the information such as the bandwidth parameters and the uplink channel resources configured by the system, and then calculate the CQI of each sub-band according to the PMI of each sub-band. Then, the terminal may rank the N subbands according to the order of the CQI values from large to small, and determine the first S subbands in the N ranked subbands, where a value of S may be determined by the terminal according to uplink channel resources allocated by the system, or may also be determined by the terminal according to a user-defined manner, etc.
For example, when N is 10, the terminal first calculates PMI and CQI of each subband in 10 subbands, and sorts the 10 subbands according to CQI values to obtain the first 3 subbands with the largest CQI, where 3 subbands are subband 3, subband 5, and subband 6, respectively.
It should be noted that the determination of the S subbands may be performed in any one or a combination of multiple manners of the above three manners, or may be performed in other manners, and may be selected according to practical applications, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited specifically.
Then, S202 is carried out, namely the terminal determines CSI to be fed back; the CSI to be fed back is divided into a first part CSI and a second part CSI, the first part CSI comprises CQI of each sub-band in the N sub-bands, and the second part CSI comprises precoding matrix indication PMI of each sub-band in the S sub-bands of the N sub-bands.
When reporting the CSI to the base station, the terminal can divide the CSI into a first part CSI and a second part CSI for reporting, so that the CSI to be fed back determined by the terminal can be divided into the first part CSI and the second part CSI, wherein the first part CSI comprises the CQI of each subband in the N subbands, and the second part CSI comprises the PMI of the precoding matrix of each subband in the S subbands of the N subbands.
Of course, the first partial CSI may further include parameters such as the number indication of non-zero wideband amplitude coefficients, RI, and the like of each layer, and the PMI of each subband includes a wideband PMI and a subband PMI, which may be referred to in table one and table 2.
In one possible implementation manner, the determining, by the terminal, CSI to be fed back may include:
the terminal determines first subband information, wherein the first subband information comprises a PMI and a CQI of each subband in the S subbands, namely the terminal can calculate the PMI and the CQI of each subband in the S subbands according to information such as bandwidth parameters and uplink channel resources configured by a system.
Then, the terminal can determine second sub-band information according to a second preset criterion and the first sub-band information; the second subband information includes CQI of each subband of remaining subbands, except for S subbands, of the N subbands, where the remaining subbands are the N-S subbands, and the second preset criterion may indicate a determination manner of the CQI of the N-S subbands.
That is, the terminal may determine the CQI of each of the remaining subbands of the N subbands according to the PMI and the CQI of the S subbands.
The terminal determines CSI to be fed back, wherein the CSI to be fed back comprises first sub-band information and second sub-band information.
Because the first subband information comprises the PMI and the CQI of each subband in the S subbands, and the second subband information comprises the CQI of each subband in the rest subbands except the S subbands in the N subbands, the terminal can determine the CQI of each subband in the N subbands included in the first part of CSI, and can also determine the PMI of each subband in the S subbands of the N subbands included in the second part of CSI to further determine the CSI to be fed back according to the first subband information and the second subband information.
In a possible implementation manner, the determining, by the terminal, the second subband information based on the second preset criterion and the first subband information may include:
the terminal determines the CQI of each of the remaining subbands, which may be performed in, but not limited to, the following two ways:
in the first mode, the terminal determines the CQI of one subband in the residual subbands based on the PMI of one subband adjacent to the one subband in the residual subbands in the S subbands.
For example, taking N as 10 and S as 4, the 4 subbands determined by the base station may be subband 1, subband 4, subband 7, and subband 10, respectively, so that the remaining subbands are subband 2, subband 3, subband 5, subband 6, subband 8, and subband 9.
At this time, if the second predetermined criterion is that in each of the remaining N-S subbands, the CQI of the subband is calculated using the PMI of the subband adjacent to the subband in the S subbands. At this time, the terminal may calculate CQIs for subband 2 and subband 3 according to the PMI for subband 1 and the channel estimates for subband 2 and subband 3, respectively, where the PMI for one subband includes a wideband PMI constituted by a twiddle factor, a beam selection, a strongest coefficient for each layer, and a wideband amplitude coefficient for each layer, and a subband PMI constituted by a subband amplitude and a phase coefficient for each layer of the corresponding subband.
Similarly, the terminal may calculate CQIs for subband 5 and subband 6 according to the PMI for subband 4 and the respective channel estimates for subband 5 and subband 6; the terminal may calculate the CQIs for subband 8 and subband 9 based on the PMI for subband 7 and the respective channel estimates for subband 8 and subband 9.
And secondly, the terminal determines the CQI of one of the rest subbands based on the PMIs of a plurality of subbands adjacent to the one of the rest subbands in the S subbands, wherein the plurality of adjacent subbands can be 2 or more than 2 subbands.
For example, also taking N as 10 and S as 4, the 4 subbands determined by the base station may be subband 1, subband 4, subband 7, and subband 10, respectively, so that the remaining subbands are subband 2, subband 3, subband 5, subband 6, subband 8, and subband 9.
If the second preset criterion is that in each sub-band of the remaining N-S sub-bands, the CQI of the sub-band is calculated by using the PMIs of a plurality of sub-bands adjacent to the PMIs in the S sub-bands through a linear interpolation algorithm, wherein the adjacent two sub-bands are taken.
At this time, the terminal may obtain the sub-band PMI of sub-band 2 and the sub-band PMI of sub-band 3 by a linear interpolation algorithm according to the PMI of sub-band 1 and the PMI of sub-band 4, respectively, and then calculate the CQI of sub-band 2 according to the sub-band PMI of sub-band 2 and the wideband PMI, that is, the PMI of sub-band 2, and may calculate the CQI of sub-band 3 according to the sub-band PMI of sub-band 3 and the wideband PMI, that is, the PMI of sub-band 3.
The wideband PMIs of 10 sub-bands are the same and comprise a rotation factor, beam selection, the strongest coefficient of each layer and the wideband amplitude coefficient parameter of each layer; and the subband PMI of each of the 10 subbands includes subband amplitude and phase coefficient parameters of each layer of the corresponding subband.
Similarly, the terminal may obtain the sub-band PMI of the sub-band 5 and the sub-band PMI of the sub-band 6 through a linear interpolation algorithm according to the PMI of the sub-band 4 and the PMI of the sub-band 7, respectively, then calculate the CQI of the sub-band 5 according to the sub-band PMI of the sub-band 5 and the wideband PMI, that is, the PMI of the sub-band 5, and may further calculate the CQI of the sub-band 6 according to the sub-band PMI of the sub-band 6 and the wideband PMI, that is, the PMI of.
Accordingly, the terminal may obtain the sub-band PMI of the sub-band 8 and the sub-band PMI of the sub-band 9 through a linear interpolation algorithm according to the PMI of the sub-band 7 and the PMI of the sub-band 10, respectively, then calculate the CQI of the sub-band 8 according to the sub-band PMI of the sub-band 8 and the wideband PMI, that is, the PMI of the sub-band 8, and may further calculate the CQI of the sub-band 9 according to the sub-band PMI of the sub-band 9 and the wideband PMI, that is, the PMI of.
In a possible implementation, the first preset criterion and the second preset criterion may be predefined by the system or may be signaled to the terminal by the base station.
And then, S203 is performed, that is, the terminal feeds back the CSI to be fed back to the base station, so that the base station can schedule resources according to the CSI after receiving the CSI reported by the terminal.
For convenience of understanding, the following examples are provided to describe the above technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in detail, and it should be noted that the following examples are only illustrative and are not intended to limit the technical solutions of the present invention.
Example 1, as shown in fig. 3, the terminal may determine N-10 subbands for which CQIs are to be calculated according to bandwidth parameters configured by the system, and the base station determines S-4, which are subband 1, subband 4, subband 7, and subband 10, respectively, by using the first of the three manners for determining S subbands, so that the terminal determines that the second CSI portion needs to include a PMI of each subband in the 4 subbands.
In each of the S-4 subbands, the terminal calculates a PMI and a CQI for each subband. That is, the terminal needs to calculate not only RI, wideband PMI, i.e. twiddle factor, beam selection, strongest coefficient of each layer, wideband amplitude coefficient of each layer, but also subband amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 1 st subband, and CQI of the 1 st subband corresponding thereto; the sub-band amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 4 th sub-band and the CQI of the corresponding 4 th sub-band; the amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 7 th sub-band and the CQI of the corresponding 7 th sub-band; the subband amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 10 th subband, and its corresponding CQI of the 10 th subband.
Then, if the terminal adopts one of the two ways of determining the CQI of each of the remaining subbands, that is, the second preset criterion is that in each of the remaining N-S subbands, the PMI of one subband adjacent to the terminal in the S subbands is used to calculate the CQI of the subband, and then the terminal may calculate the CQIs of the 2 nd and 3 rd subbands according to the wideband PMI, that is, the twiddle factor, the beam selection, the strongest coefficient of each layer, the wideband amplitude coefficient of each layer, and the subband amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 1 st subband; calculating the CQI of the 5 th sub-band and the 6 th sub-band according to the wideband PMI and the sub-band amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 4 th sub-band; and calculating the CQI of 8 th and 9 th sub-bands according to the wideband PMI and the sub-band amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 7 th sub-band.
And further, the terminal feeds back the first partial CSI and the second partial CSI to the base station.
In example 2 and still referring to fig. 3, the terminal may determine N-10 subbands for which CQIs are to be calculated according to bandwidth parameters configured by the system, and the base station determines S-4, which are subband 1, subband 4, subband 7, and subband 10, respectively, by using the first of the three manners for determining S subbands, so that the terminal determines that the second CSI portion needs to include a PMI of each subband in the 4 subbands.
In each of the S-4 subbands, the terminal calculates a PMI and a CQI for each subband. That is, the terminal needs to calculate not only RI, wideband PMI, i.e. twiddle factor, beam selection, strongest coefficient of each layer, wideband amplitude coefficient of each layer, but also subband amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 1 st subband, and CQI of the 1 st subband corresponding thereto; the sub-band amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 4 th sub-band and the CQI of the corresponding 4 th sub-band; the amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 7 th sub-band and the CQI of the corresponding 7 th sub-band; the subband amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 10 th subband, and its corresponding CQI of the 10 th subband.
Then, if the terminal adopts the second of the two ways of determining the CQI of each of the remaining subbands, that is, the second preset criterion is that, in each of the remaining N-S subbands, the PMI of two adjacent subbands in the S subbands is used, and the CQI of the subband is calculated through a linear interpolation algorithm.
The terminal calculates the sub-band amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 1 st sub-band and the sub-band amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 4 th sub-band through linear interpolation algorithm to obtain the sub-band amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer, and calculates the CQI of the 2 nd and 3 rd sub-bands by combining the wideband PMI, namely, the twiddle factor, the beam selection, the strongest coefficient of each layer and the wideband amplitude coefficient of each layer.
Similarly, the terminal calculates the subband amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 4 th subband and the subband amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 7 th subband through a linear interpolation algorithm, and calculates the CQI of the 5 th subband and the 6 th subband by combining the wideband PMI.
And the terminal calculates the subband amplitude and/or the phase coefficient of each layer of the 7 th subband and the subband amplitude and/or the phase coefficient of each layer of the 10 th subband through a linear interpolation algorithm, and calculates the CQI of the 8 th subband and the 9 th subband by combining the wideband PMI.
And further, the terminal feeds back the first partial CSI and the second partial CSI to the base station.
Example 3, as shown in fig. 4, the terminal may determine, according to the bandwidth parameter configured by the system, N-10 subbands for which CQIs are to be calculated, and the base station determines, S-3 by using the third of the three manners for determining, that is, the terminal first calculates PMI and CQI of the N-10 subbands, and then selects, according to a first preset criterion, 3 subbands with the highest CQI from the N subbands, assuming that the subbands are subband 3, subband 5, and subband 6, respectively, and therefore, the terminal determines that the second CSI portion needs to include PMI of each subband in the 3 subbands.
Then, if the terminal uses one of the two ways of determining the CQI of each of the remaining subbands, that is, the second preset criterion, to calculate the CQI of each subband adjacent to the PMI of the S subband in each subband of the remaining N-S subbands, the terminal may recalculate the CQIs of the 1 st and 2 nd subbands according to the wideband PMI, that is, the twiddle factor, the beam selection, the strongest coefficient of each layer, the wideband amplitude coefficient of each layer, and the subband amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 3 rd subband.
Similarly, the terminal may recalculate the CQI of the 4 th subband according to the wideband PMI and the subband amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 5 th subband. The terminal can calculate the CQIs of the 7 th, 8 th, 9 th and 10 th sub-bands according to the wideband PMI and the sub-band amplitude and/or phase coefficient of each layer of the 6 th sub-band, and since the channel characteristics experienced by each of the 10 sub-bands are different, the CQIs corresponding to each of the 10 sub-bands are inconsistent.
And further, the terminal feeds back the first partial CSI and the second partial CSI to the base station.
In summary, one or more of the above technical solutions have at least the following technical effects.
First, in the embodiments of the present invention, before reporting CSI, a terminal determines S subbands from N subbands based on a first preset criterion, then calculates CQI and PMI of each subband in the S subbands, and determines CQI of each subband in N-S subbands according to the PMI of each subband in the S subbands, and then sends a first partial CSI including the CQI of each subband in the N subbands and a second partial CSI including a precoding matrix indicator PMI of each subband in the S subbands to a base station, so that the base station can perform resource scheduling according to the received CSI, and further ensure that the CQI of each subband in the first partial CSI can accurately determine a PMI corresponding to the CQI from the second partial CSI.
Secondly, in the embodiment of the invention, when the terminal feeds back the CSI, only PMIs of S sub-bands in N sub-bands need to be fed back, so that uplink channel resources are saved.
In the CSI reported by the terminal to the base station, the second part of CSI includes only PMIs of S subbands, and the subsequent base station may determine PMIs of the remaining N-S subbands according to the second preset criterion and the PMIs of the S subbands, so as to ensure that the CQI of each subband in the first part of CSI can accurately determine the corresponding PMI from the second part of CSI, so that the base station may use the CQIs of all subbands for scheduling, thereby ensuring the feedback accuracy of CSI and further improving the system performance.
