Description
The present application claims priority of chinese patent application with application number 201910239396.8 entitled "a method and apparatus for feeding back channel state information" filed by chinese patent office on 27/3/2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for feeding back channel state information.
Background
In the NR Rel-15 system, a type ii (typeii) codebook is defined that supports both the rank1 codebook and the rank2 codebook based on the way in which beams within the orthogonal beam group are linearly combined.
For one subband, the rank1 codebook is expressed as:
for one subband, the rank2 codebook is expressed as:
wherein,l represents the number of orthogonal beams within the group,represents orthogonal beams, which employ 2D DFT (two-dimensional discrete fourier transform) vectors; r-0, 1 denotes the first and second polarization directions in the dual-polarized antenna array, l-0, 1 denotes a layer.Representing the broadband amplitude coefficients acting on the beam i, the polarization direction r and the layer l in the beam group;representing the subband amplitude coefficients acting on the beam i, the polarization direction r and the layer l in the beam group; c. Cr,l,iThe subband phase coefficients acting on the beam i, the polarization direction r and the layer l in the beam group are shown.
Since the number of codebook coefficients of Rank2 is about one time of the number of codebook coefficients of Rank1, the overhead of codebooks with different values of Rank Indication (RI) is very different. When the base station receives Channel State Information (CSI) fed back by the terminal, the base station cannot know the value of the RI before correctly decoding, and thus cannot determine the overhead of the CSI. In order to avoid that the base station cannot correctly perform CSI decoding due to overhead ambiguity, in Rel-15, a two-part structure is adopted for reporting Type II CSI. The first part of the CSI comprises: RI, a wideband Quality Indicator (CQI) corresponding to a first codeword (codeword), a differential CQI corresponding to the first codeword (codeword), the number of zero coefficients in layer one, and the number of zero coefficients in layer two; the second part of the CSI comprises: the antenna comprises a rotation factor, beam indication information, a strongest beam indication of a layer one, a wideband amplitude coefficient of a layer one, a strongest beam indication of a layer two, a wideband amplitude coefficient of a layer two, at least one of a subband phase and a subband amplitude coefficient of an even subband, and at least one of a subband phase and a subband amplitude coefficient of an odd subband. The overhead of the first part of the CSI is fixed and is irrelevant to the value of the RI, and the overhead of the second part of the CSI can be determined by the result of decoding of the first part.
Since the feedback for each subband includes both subband phase coefficients and subband amplitude coefficients, the feedback overhead required to feedback the coefficients for all subbands is large when the number of subbands is large. A low-overhead Type II codebook is defined in the NR Rel-16 system, the coefficient of each sub-band is compressed, and the compressed differential amplitude coefficient, phase coefficient and reference amplitude coefficient are all fed back to a base station.
At present, no corresponding CSI feedback method exists for the code book structure of Rel-16 and the fed-back CSI information.

For a certain layer, the strongest amplitude coefficient refers to the difference amplitude coefficient with the largest value in the difference amplitude coefficient set of the layer. The difference amplitude coefficient with the largest value can be quantized to 1. When CSI feedback is performed, the strongest amplitude coefficient may or may not be reported.
Wherein the indication information of the strongest amplitude coefficient is used for indicating the strongest amplitude coefficient of at least one layer. Specifically, for a certain layer, the indication information of the strongest amplitude coefficient is used to indicate the position of the strongest amplitude coefficient of the layer in a coefficient set used for constructing a precoding matrix, where the coefficient set refers to a coefficient set corresponding to the layer. For example, the indication information of the strongest amplitude coefficient of the layer one indicates the position of the strongest amplitude coefficient in the coefficient matrix corresponding to the layer one for constructing the precoding matrix, and the indication information of the strongest amplitude coefficient of the layer two indicates the position of the strongest amplitude coefficient in the coefficient matrix corresponding to the layer two for constructing the precoding matrix. Taking the codebook in which rank is 2 as shown in the above equations (4) and (5) as an example, the index of the strongest amplitude coefficient of layer one is used to indicate that the strongest amplitude coefficient of layer one is in equation (4)(i.e., the coefficient matrix for layer one), the index of the strongest amplitude coefficient for layer two is used to indicate the strongest amplitude coefficient for layer two in equation (5)(i.e., the coefficient matrix for layer two).

If the weak polarization indication information indicates that all differential amplitude coefficient values in one polarization direction of the at least one layer are all zero, the CSI does not include the reference amplitude coefficient or the reference amplitude coefficient set of the at least one layer. For example, if the weak polarization indication information of the first layer indicates that all the differential amplitude coefficients of one polarization direction of the first layer are zero, the CSI does not include the reference amplitude coefficient of the first layer.

Taking rank-2 as an example, the CSI fed back by the terminal includes weak polarization indication information of the layer one, where the weak polarization indication information indicates that all values of the differential amplitude coefficients in one polarization direction of the layer one are all zero, and therefore the fed back CSI does not include the reference amplitude coefficient of the layer one. Further, if the weak polarization indication information indicates that all the differential amplitude coefficient values in one polarization direction of the at least one layer include non-zero values, the processing may be performed in a manner described in other embodiments in this application.

Alternatively, the polarization direction indication information may be 1-bit indication information. For example, if the weak polarization indication information of the first layer indicates that all the differential amplitude coefficients of one polarization direction of the first layer are all zero, the CSI does not include the reference amplitude coefficient of the first layer, and meanwhile, the CSI further includes 1-bit polarization direction indication information for indicating that one of the two polarization directions is weak polarization, that is, the 1-bit polarization direction indication information is used to indicate the polarization direction in which all the differential amplitude coefficients of the two polarization directions take values of zero.

Taking rank2 as an example, the CSI fed back by the terminal includes weak polarization indication information of the layer one, where the weak polarization indication information indicates that all values of the differential amplitude coefficients in a certain polarization direction of the layer one are all zero, and therefore the fed back CSI does not include the reference amplitude coefficient of the layer one.
