Description

一种信道状态信息处理的方法、装置和系统 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域，特别是涉及一种信道状态信息测量的方法、装置和系统。
背景技术
下一代移动通信系统要求大容量和高质量的数据传输。多输入多输出(multiple input multiple output，MIMO)技术被认为是可实现未来高速数据传输的关键技术之一，在第四代(4G)及第五代(5G)的移动通信系统中有着广阔的应用前景。传统的集中式MIMO系统的多根发射天线均集中于基站(BS)端。与集中式MIMO不同，分布式MIMO系统的多根发射天线分布于不同的地理位置，其各对收发链路之间更加独立，具有大容量、低功耗、更好的覆盖、对人体的低电磁损害等优势，被认为是未来无线通信系统的备选方案之一。在分布式MIMO的情况下，协同多点传输(CoMP，coordinated multipoint transmission)被认为是一种解决小区间干扰问题并提升边缘用户吞吐量的有效方法。CoMP技术中多个相邻小区可以联合处理或协调与边缘用户之间的通信来避免干扰并提升边缘用户吞吐量。下行CoMP技术主要包括联合传输(JT，joint transmission)、协同调度和波束成型(CS/CB，coordinated scheduling and beamforming)和动态点选择/关闭(DPS/DPB，dynamic point selection/dynamic point blanking)。为了实现这些CoMP调度，服务基站需要知道各站点到目标用户设备的下行信道条件。在LTE规范中，提供了一种参考信号，即CSI参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)，是终端用来在传输模式9和10的情况下获取CSI的。UE通过对特定的CSI-RS的测量来估计信道，得到CSI并通过物理上行控制信道(Physical uplink control channel,PUCCH)上报给服务基站。其中，服务基站是指服务小区所属的基站。所上报的CSI信息可能包含信道质量指示(channel quality indicator,CQI)，秩指示(rank indicator,RI)，预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indicator,PMI)信息中的一种或多种的组合。为了配置UE接收和处理指定的CSI-RS，并提供所需的反馈信息，基站可以通过配置高层信令，如无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令来指示UE。
在3GPP 36.213协议中，提出使用非零功率NZP(non-zero power)CSI-RS进行信道测量，使用零功率ZP(zero power)CSI-RS进行干扰测量。但是，这样的设定不能满足未来网络如NR(new radio，新无线)网络中多点协作的一些不同场景中对于信道状态信息测量的不同需求。因而，如何使信道状态信息的测量满足多点协议中多种场景的需求，是一个亟待解决的问题。
此外，在多点协作等一些场景中，用户设备需要上报多个CSI给网络设备，以便网络设备根据所述多个CSI判断和决策具体的协作和调度，因此，还需要一种新的方案解决如何触发和上报这多个CSI的问题。

为了便于理解，示例的给出了与部分与本发明相关概念的说明以供参考。如下所示：
第三代合作伙伴计划(英文：3rd generation partnership project，简称3GPP)是一个致力于发展无线通信网络的项目。通常，将3GPP相关的机构称为3GPP机构。
无线通信网络，是一种提供无线通信功能的网络。无线通信网络可以采用不同的通信技术，例如码分多址(英文：code division multiple access,简称CDMA)、宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access，简称WCDMA)、时分多址(英文：time division multiple access，简称：TDMA)、频分多址(英文：frequency division multiple access,简称FDMA)、正交频分多址(英文：orthogonal frequency-division multiple access,简称：OFDMA)、单载波频分多址(英文：single Carrier FDMA，简称：SC-FDMA)、载波侦听多 路访问/冲突避免(英文：Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance)。根据不同网络的容量、速率、时延等因素可以将网络分为2G(英文：generation)网络、3G网络、4G网络或者未来演进网络，如5G网络。典型的2G网络包括全球移动通信系统(英文：global system for mobile communications/general packet radio service，简称：GSM)网络或者通用分组无线业务(英文：general packet radio service，简称：GPRS)网络，典型的3G网络包括通用移动通信系统(英文：universal mobile telecommunications system，简称：UMTS)网络，典型的4G网络包括长期演进(英文：long term evolution,简称：LTE)网络。其中，UMTS网络有时也可以称为通用陆地无线接入网(英文：universal terrestrial radio access network，简称：UTRAN)，LTE网络有时也可以称为演进型通用陆地无线接入网(英文：evolved universal terrestrial radio access network，简称：E-UTRAN)。根据资源分配方式的不同，可以分为蜂窝通信网络和无线局域网络(英文：wireless local area networks，简称：WLAN)，其中，蜂窝通信网络为调度主导，WLAN为竞争主导。前述的2G、3G、4G和5G网络，均为蜂窝通信网络。本领域技术人员应知，随着技术的发展本发明实施例提供的技术方案同样可以应用于其他的无线通信网络，例如4.5G或者5G网络，或其他非蜂窝通信网络。为了简洁，本发明实施例有时会将无线通信网络简称为网络。
蜂窝通信网络是无线通信网络的一种，其采用蜂窝无线组网方式，在终端设备和网络设备之间通过无线通道连接起来，进而实现用户在活动中可相互通信。其主要特征是终端的移动性，并具有越区切换和跨本地网自动漫游功能。
FDD：频分双工，frequency division duplex
TDD：时分双工，time division duplex
用户设备(英文：user equipment，简称：UE)是一种终端设备，可以是可移动的终端设备，也可以是不可移动的终端设备。该设备主要用于接收或者发送业务数据。用户设备可分布于网络中，在不同的网络中用户设备有不同的名称，例如：终端，移动台，用户单元，站台，蜂窝电话，个人数字助理，无线调制解调器，无线通信设备，手持设备，膝上型电脑，无绳电话，无线本地环路台，车载终端等。该用户设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network，简称：RAN)(无线通信网络的接入部分)与一个或多个核心网进行通信，例如与无线接入网交换语音和/或数据。
基站(英文：base station，简称：BS)设备，也可称为基站，是一种部署在无线接入网用以提供无线通信功能的装置。例如在2G网络中提供基站功能的设备包括基地无线收发站(英文：base transceiver station,简称：BTS)和基站控制器(英文：base station controller,简称：BSC)，3G网络中提供基站功能的设备包括节点B(英文简称：NodeB)和无线网络控制器(英文：radio network controller,简称：RNC)，在4G网络中提供基站功能的设备包括演进的节点B(英文：evolved NodeB，简称：eNB)，在WLAN中，提供基站功能的设备为接入点(英文：access point，简称：AP)。在未来5G网络中的提供基站功能的设备包括继续演进的节点B(gNB)，收发点(TRP)和传输点(transmission point，TP)。其中，TRP和TP可以不包括基带部分，仅包括射频部分(含天线)，也可以包括基带部分和射频部分。在某些场景下，一个基站可以和一个或多个TRP或TP相连。
无线设备，是指位于无线通信网络中的可以通过无线方式进行通信的设备。该设备可以是基站，也可以是用户设备，还可以是其他网元。
网络侧设备，是指位于无线通信网络中位于网络侧的设备，可以为接入网网元，如基站或控制器(如有)，或者，也可以为核心网网元，还可以为其他网元。
NR(新无线，new radio)，是指新一代无线接入网络技术，可以应用在未来演进网络，如5G网络中。
无线局域网络(英文：wireless local area networks，简称：WLAN)，是指采用无线电波作为数据传送媒介的局域网，传送距离一般只有几十米。
接入点(英文：access point，简称：AP)，连接无线网络，亦可以连接有线网络的设备。它能当作中介点，使得有线与无线上网的设备互相连接、传输数据。
RRC(radio resource control)：无线资源控制
RRC处理UE和无线接入网之间控制平面的第三层信息。通常包含以下功能中的至少一项：
广播核心网非接入层提供的信息。RRC负责网络系统信息向UE的广播。系统信息通常情况下按照一定的基本规律重复，RRC负责执行计划、分割和重复。也支持上层信息的广播。
将广播信息关联到接入层。RRC负责网络系统信息向UE的广播。系统信息通常情况下按照一定的基本规律重复，RRC负责执行计划、分割和重复。
建立、重新建立、维持和释放在UE和无线接入网之间的RRC连接。为了建立UE的第一个信号连接，由UE的高层请求建立一个RRC的连接。RRC连接建立过程包括可用小区的重新选择、接入许可控制以及2层信号链路的建立几个步骤。RRC连接释放也是由高层请求，用于拆除最后的信号连接；或者当RRC链路失败的时候由RRC本层发起。如果连接失败，UE会要求重新建立RRC连接。如果RRC连接失败，RRC释放已经分配的资源。
随着网络的演进，RRC的功能也可能有所变化，此处的描述不作为限定。
本申请还描述了一种信道状态信息上报的方法、装置和系统，旨在提供一种用户设备上报多个信道状态信息时，多个信道状态信息上报的指示和上报方案，且尽量减少多个信道状态信息上报过程中的时延。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图，对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行描述，显然，所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有付出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本发明保护的范围。
如本申请所使用的，术语“组件”、“模块”、“系统”等等旨在指代计算机相关实体，该计算机相关实体可以是硬件、固件、硬件和软件的结合、软件或者运行中的软件。例如，组件可以是，但不限于是：在处理器上运行的处理、处理器、对象、可执行文件、执行中的线程、程序和/或计算机。作为示例，在计算设备上运行的应用和该计算设备都可以是组件。一个或多个组件可以存在于执行中的过程和/或线程中，并且组件可以位于一个计算机中以及/或者分布在两个或更多个计算机之间。此外，这些组件能够从在其上具有各种数据结构的各种计算机可读介质中执行。这些组件可以通过诸如根据具有一个或多个数据分组(例如，来自一个组件的数据，该组件与本地系统、分布式系统中的另一个组件进行交互和/或以信号的方式通过诸如互联网之类的网络与其它系统进行交互)的信号，以本地和/或远程过程的方式进行通信。
此外，本申请结合无线设备来描述各个方面，其中，无线设备可以为无线网络设备，也可以为终端设备。该无线网络设备可以为基站，基站可以用于与一个或多个用户设备进行通信，也可以用于与一个或多个具有部分用户设备功能的基站进行通信(比如宏基站与微基站，如接入点，之间的通信)；该无线设备还可以为用户设备，用户设备可以用于一个或多个用户设备进行通信(比如D2D通信)，也可以用于与一个或多个基站进行通信。用户设备还可以称为用户终端，并且可以包括系统、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动无线终端、移动设备、节点、设备、远程站、远程终端、终端、无线通信设备、无线通信装置或用户代理的功能中的一些或者所有功能。用户设备可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(SIP)电话、智能电话、无线本地环路(WLL)站、个人数字助理(PDA)、膝上型计算机、手持式通信设备、手持式计算设备、卫星无线设备、无线调制解调器卡和/或用于在无线系统上进行通信的其它处理设备。基站还可以称为接入点、节点、节点B、演进节点B(eNB)，gNB，TRP，TP或某种其它网络实体，并且可以包括以上网络实体的功能中的一些或所有功能。基站可以通过空中接口与无线终端进行通信。该通信可以通过一个或多个扇区来进行。基站可以通过将所接收的空 中接口帧转换成IP分组，来用作无线终端和接入网络的其余部分之间的路由器，其中所述接入网络包括互联网协议(IP)网络。基站还可以对空中接口属性的管理进行协调，并且还可以是有线网络和无线网络之间的网关。
本申请将围绕可包括多个设备、组件、模块等的系统来呈现各个方面、实施例或特征。应当理解和明白的是，各个系统可以包括另外的设备、组件、模块等，并且/或者可以并不包括结合附图讨论的所有设备、组件、模块等。此外，还可以使用这些方案的组合。
另外，在本发明实施例中，“示例的”一词用于表示作例子、例证或说明。本申请中被描述为“示例”的任何实施例或设计方案不应被解释为比其它实施例或设计方案更优选或更具优势。确切而言，使用示例的一词旨在以具体方式呈现概念。
本发明实施例中，信息(information)，信号(signal)，消息(message)，信道(channel)有时可以混用，应当指出的是，在不强调其区别时，其所要表达的含义是一致的。“的(of)”，“相应的(corresponding，relevant)”和“对应的(corresponding)”有时可以混用，应当指出的是，在不强调其区别时，其所要表达的含义是一致的。
本发明实施例中，有时候下标如W1可能会笔误为非下标的形式如W1，在不强调其区别时，其所要表达的含义是一致的。
本发明实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本发明实施例的技术方案，并不构成对于本发明实施例提供的技术方案的限定，本领域普通技术人员可知，随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现，本发明实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题，同样适用。
本发明实施例既可以应用于时分双工(time division duplex，TDD)的场景，也可以适用于频分双工(frequency division duplex，FDD)的场景。
本发明实施例既可以应用在传统的典型网络中，也可以应用在未来的以UE为中心(UE-centric)的网络中。UE-centric网络引入无小区(Non-cell)的网络架构，即在某个特定的区域内部署大量小站，构成一个超级小区(Hyper cell)，每个小站为Hyper cell的一个传输点(Transmission Point,TP)或TRP，并与一个集中控制器(controller)相连。当UE在Hyper cell内移动时，网络侧设备时时为UE选择新的sub-cluster(子簇)为其服务，从而避免真正的小区切换，实现UE业务的连续性。其中，网络侧设备包括无线网络设备。
可选的，在本发明实施例中，基站由基站ID唯一标识。如果一个Hyper cell里所有TP或TRP为同一个ID，则该hyper cell中只有一个基站。
如背景技术中所描述的，3GPP TS36.213协议中提出使用NZP CSI-RS进行信道测量，使用ZP CSI-RS进行干扰测量。
3GPP TS 36.331vd.0.0中给出的一种RRC信令配置如下：
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000001
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000002
其中，csi-ProcessId表示CSI进程的标识(identity or identifier，ID)，csi-RS-ConfigNZPId表示NZP CSI-RS的标识(ID)，csi-IM-ConfigId表示用于干扰测量(interference measurement，IM)的CSI-RS的ID。其中，用于干扰测量(interference measurement，IM)的CSI-RS包括ZP的CSI-RS。
NZP CSI-RS域所包括的信元如下：
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000003
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000004
其中，csi-RS-ConfigNZPId表示NZP CSI-RS的ID，antennaPortsCount表示天线端口数，resourceConfig表示资源的配置信息(如时频资源配置信息，也可以称为传输图样pattern)，subframeConfig表示子帧配置信息，scramblingIdentity表示加扰信息，qcl-CRS-Info表示与该CSI-RS具有QCL(Quasi-co-located，准共址)关系的CRS(公共参考信号，common reference singal)的信息。
ZP CSI-RS域所包括的信元如下：
其中，csi-RS-ConfigZPId表示ZP CSI-RS的ID，resourceConfigList表示资源配置表(每种资源配置对应一种传输图样)，subframeConfig表示子帧配置信息。
在目前的协议中，并不支持非NZP CSI-RS测量信道(即进行信道测量)，也不支持非ZP CSI-RS测量干扰(即进行干扰测量)。
这样，只能通过ZP CSI-RS测得ZP CSI-RS资源上的所有干扰的功率的总和，而无法有针对性的进行测量，比如测量最强干扰对应的H*Wmax(其中H为信道矩阵，Wmax为吞吐率最大的预编码矩阵)，或是，测量最弱干扰对应的H*Wmin(其中，Wmin为吞吐率最小的预编码 矩阵)，或是，测量全向干扰对应的H等。
在本发明实施例中，信道状态信息的测量(也可称为信道状态信息的获得)可以基于信干噪比(SINR，signal to interference plus noise radio)来获得(如CQI可以根据CQI和SINR的对应表来获得)，而SINR可以基于信号功率与干扰功率来获得，其中，信号功率可以通过信道测量来获得(简称信道测量的功率)，而干扰功率可以通过干扰测量来获得(简称干扰测量的功率)。具体的，SINR＝信道测量的功率/(干扰测量的功率+噪声功率)。信道测量的功率和基于非零功率的参考信号进行的干扰测量的功率都可以基于H*W矢量值获得，如为||H*W||的值取平方，||H*W||的含义为H和W的乘积取行列式。其中，H是个信道测量的矢量，是根据导频信号通过相关、内插等操作得到的信道冲击响应。W是个预编码矢量，其是由UE在可用码本中选出的，通常根据吞吐率来获得，如H*W1的吞吐率最大，则UE会上报W1对应的PMI给基站。基站在调度时会参考UE上报的PMI。基站的调度要考虑小区内的其他用户设备、协作时还要考虑邻小区的用户设备，因此UE的上报只是供基站参考，是UE认为对自己最好的预编码矩阵，而基站下发数据的时候不一定按照该PMI编码数据。为了能让基站有更充足的信息以获得更优调度结果，UE上报的测量结果越充分越好，比如在协作场景中，UE需要上报其测量的邻区CSI，该CSI对于服务基站到UE之间的传输来说是个干扰，UE上报的测量结果可以方便服务基站的调度，如邻小区使用W1时干扰最强，使用W2时干扰最弱，W3W4W5等是其他可选的预编码矩阵，假设UE上报了所有可能的W对应的CSI，则服务基站可以获知：邻区需要避开W1，最好能选择W2，如果不能选择W2，由于W3与W2的矢量距离相比于到W1更近，因此W3也可以选择。总之，UE上报给基站的CSI越多，服务基站和协作基站越能获得最优调度结果。
本发明实施例中用于信道测量的资源是指在该资源上测得的上述根据H*W获得的功率是作为信道测量的功率(简称作为信道)，用于干扰测量的资源是指在该资源上测得的上述根据H*W获得的功率是作为干扰测量的功率(简称作为干扰)。这样，针对上述用于信道测量的资源所反馈的CSI，可以基于所述信道测量的功率和干扰测量的功率获得。
CSI可以包括信道质量指示(channel quality indicator,CQI)，秩指示(rank indicator,RI)，预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indicator,PMI)信息中的一种或多种的组合。在本发明实施例中，有些描述中以CQI为例，但并不表示这些描述仅适用于CQI，也应理解为可以适用于RI和PMI的反馈。
有鉴于此，如图1所示，本发明实施例提出了一种信道状态信息测量的方法，包括：
S101，用户设备接收来自第一无线网络设备的用于信道状态信息测量的配置信息，所述配置信息包括用于信道状态信息测量的资源的信息并指示所述资源的测量属性信息，所述测量属性包括信道测量，或，X种干扰测量，或，信道测量和X种干扰测量，其中X为大于或等于1的整数；
S102，所述用户设备根据所述配置信息进行信道状态信息的测量并反馈所述信道状态信息。
其中，用户设备向第二无线网络设备反馈信道状态信息，第二无线网络设备和第一无线网络设备可以相同，或者，不同。
相应的，第一无线网络设备向用户设备发送用于信道状态信息测量的配置信息，所述配置信息包括用于信道状态信息测量的资源的信息并指示所述资源的测量属性信息，所述测量属性包括信道测量，或，X种干扰测量，或，信道测量和X种干扰测量，其中X为大于或等于1的整数；
第二无线网络设备接收来自用户设备的信道状态信息，所述信道状态信息基于所述配置信息得到，其中第二无线网络设备和第一无线网络设备相同或不同。
可选的，第一无线网络设备为用户设备的服务小区所属的无线网络设备，第二无线网络设备为用户设备的服务小区所属的无线网络设备或者为非服务小区所属的无线网络设备。
可选的，所述配置信息指示所述资源的测量属性信息包括：
所述配置信息包括用于指示测量属性的第一指示信息；或者，
所述配置信息的资源或格式用于指示所述资源的测量属性。
可选的，所述X种干扰测量包括利用零功率的参考信号测量干扰(如干扰功率)，利用非零功率的信道状态信息参考信号的资源获取最强的P个干扰(其中P可配置或者为协议预定无需配置)，利用非零功率的信道状态信息参考信号的资源获取最弱的Q个干扰(其中Q可配置或者为协议预定无需配置)，利用非零功率的信道状态信息参考信号的资源获取未被预编码的干扰(全向干扰)，利用非零功率的信道状态信息参考信号的资源获取对应可使用的码本中的所有可选取的预编码矩阵的所有干扰，利用非零功率的信道状态信息参考信号的资源获取对应非最强或最弱的特定预编码矩阵(W)的干扰，利用非零功率的解调参考信号获取干扰，以及，利用非零功率的解调参考信号获取被预编码的干扰中的至少一种。
可选的，“利用非零功率的信道状态信息参考信号的资源获取对应非最强或最弱的特定预编码矩阵(W)的干扰”可以对应的UE测量行为可以包括：UE根据NZP CSI-RS估计信道信号，UE将信道信号从接收信号中减去，剩余的信号即认为是干扰信号，这个干扰信号可以是非最强或最弱的特定预编码矩阵(W)的干扰。
可选的，“利用非零功率的解调参考信号获取被预编码的干扰”对应的UE的测量行为可以包括：UE根据DMRS测量出其他UE所造成的干扰，其他UE包括MU-MIMO(多用户输入输出)场景下的配对UE，和/或，不同于所述UE所在小区的其他小区所调度的UE，这个干扰可以是被预编码的干扰。
可选的，如上所描述的，所述X种干扰测量还可以包括利用非零功率的解调参考信号获取干扰。这种情况下，对应的UE的测量行为可以是：UE根据DMRS估计信道信号，UE将信道信号从接收信号中减去，剩余的信号即认为是干扰信号，这个干扰可以是被预编码的，也可以是未被预编码的。
可以理解的是，所述“利用非零功率的解调参考信号获取被预编码的干扰”也可以在邻区的干扰为被预编码的情况下，对应UE的测量行为是：UE根据DMRS估计信道信号，UE将信道信号从接收信号中减去，剩余的信号即认为是干扰信号，这个干扰是被预编码的。
以上最强的P个干扰或最弱的Q个干扰，可以是在基站发类型(class)A CSI-RS的情况下获得的，这种情况下，该CSI-RS没有经过预编码，是个全向信号。UE收到该CSI-RS后，遍历选择最优的P个预编码矩阵或最差的P个预编码矩阵，并上报对应的PMI。也可以在基站发class B CSI-RS的情况下获得的，该CSI-RS可以经过了W1预编码，W1是宽波束。UE收到该CSI-RS后，遍历可选的W2，选择最优的P个W2或最差的Q个W2上报对应的PMI。
所以基站实际中下发的CSI-RS可以是经过了预编码的，也可以是没经过预编码的。
本发明实施例主要场景以协作传输为背景，本实施例将CSI测量和反馈过程进行增强，指示多种测量资源与测量行为。图2为多小区协作场景示意图。
在图2所示的协作场景中，在未确定传输集时，CSI测量需要帮助决策哪些TP参与传输。因此，需要假设传输集、假设干扰组合，这样，UE可以在不同的假设下给出CSI测量结果。TP根据不同的CSI测量结果决定传输集中包括哪些TP。可以理解的是，本场景中的TP也可 以为TRP或gNB，但均可被称为基站。
按照图2，现有的传输集是{TP1，TP2}，但随着UE的移动，不确定TP3是否要被加入传输集，则传输集的假设可能是{TP1，TP2}或{TP2，TP3}或{TP1，TP2，TP3}。在未确定传输集的情况下，为每个TP分配的资源则不确定是测量信道还是测量干扰。按照NR的发展，一种参考信号RS既可以用来测信道，也可以用来测干扰，所以无法通过资源类型(非零功率或零功率)就确定测量目的。同时，在不确定传输集的情况下，也无法通过资源ID就绑定测量目的。因此，可以在某种传输集假设的情况下，绑定测量资源和测量行为，并指示测量资源和测量行为，这里的指示包括显示的指示，如包括第一指示信息，也可以包括隐式的指示，如通过用于指示测量资源的配置信息的资源或格式来指示测量行为，或者，通过与测量行为有对应关系的其他信息来隐式的指示。
一种可能的定义测量资源和测量行为的方式是：
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000006
在上述指示为显式指示时，可以对以下测量资源和测量行为的对应关系进行编号，示例如下表一。
表一
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000007
这样，在UE收到所述第一指示信息时，即可确定其要进行的测量行为，并上报相应的信道状态信息。
示例的，一种可能的实现方案是：
基站下发Type#,UE获知在某个资源上如何测量干扰。如：
Type#0：NZP CSI-RS资源上测出的结果被当做信道测量结果，计算入CQI中。
Type#1：NZP CSI-RS资源上先根据导频相关性测量出H矩阵，UE根据rank对应的码本，或者基站配置的预编码矩阵组，依次判断H*W对应的吞吐率，对应吞吐率最大的W矩阵就是造成最强干扰的W矩阵。或者，CSI-RS根据导频测出的是H*W1(CLASS B的宽波束)，UE再轮询选择W2，H*W1*W2即为干扰信息，可用于CQI计算中的干扰。同理，Type#3可以是根据吞吐率这个指标而对应吞吐率最小所选出的W矩阵，这是造成最弱干扰的被预编码的矩阵。
Type#2：邻基站发送的信号是全向信号，即未经过预编码，则服务基站可以将该信息发送给UE，UE在NZP CSI-RS上只测量H矩阵即可。Type#3和Type#0对应的UE测量行为是一样的，但是测量结果一个在CQI计算时被当做信道，一个被当做干扰。
Type#4是现有测量干扰的技术：ZP CSI-RS上测量除服务基站外的所有其他基站所导致的干扰，现有技术只支持ZP上测干扰的功率。
Type#5是在DMRS资源上测量干扰，DMRS上测出的干扰是被预编码的，对于DMRS测量干扰的可能方案有：
(1)若该预编码矩阵如果与数据的预编码矩阵一致，DMRS上测出的是H*W的最终结果。
(2)如果该预编码矩阵与数据的预编码矩阵不一致，可能的方案是：基站告知UE该DMRS上所用的预编码矩阵，DMRS上测出的结果反乘W，得到H矩阵后，UE再根据某种指标(如上述吞吐率)选择最强或最弱干扰对应的W矩阵，或者服务基站告知与DMRS一起发送的数据所用W，UE将反乘算出的H与被告知的数据所用的W相乘，得到数据所造成的干扰。
(3)如果DMRS上的预编码矩阵与数据的预编码矩阵不一致，还可能出现的情况是：DMRS由宽波束W1预编码，数据由宽波束W1*窄波束W2编码。这种情况下，UE可以根据某种指标(如吞吐率，其他指标：SINR、CQI等)选择窄波束W2，因此数据造成的干扰可以通过H*W1(DMRS导频的测量结果)再乘以W2而获得。
可以理解的是，还可以利用除以上表格中所列的参考信号用于干扰测量，比如SRS。(DMRS hw1w2)
而上述指示为隐式指示时，可以通过所述用于信道状态信息测量的资源所在的域(即配置信息的格式)来进行指示，或者，通过与测量行为有对应关系的其他信息来隐式的指示。
可选的，与测量行为有对应关系的其他信息可以包括：
传输模式
UE可以通过传输模式和测量行为之间的对应关系来确定在配置或触发的干扰测量资源上的测量行为。例如，传输模式为协作传输模式(TM10)，则在配置或触发的NZP CSI-RS资源上，UE将该NZP CSI-RS资源上所测得的信道矩阵和预编码矩阵相乘作为干扰。例如，传输模式为多用户模式时(如MU，TM5)，则在配置或触发的NZP CSI-RS资源上，UE将接收信号减去预估的信道信号，剩余的信号作为干扰。再例如，传输模式为多用户模式时(MU，TM5)，则在配置/触发的DMRS资源上，UE通过DMRS资源测量其他UE所造成的干扰，可选的，其他UE包括MU-MIMO场景下的配对UE，和/或，不同于所述UE所在小区的其他小区所调度的UE。再例如，传输模式为多流beamforming传输时(TM9)，则可以在配置或触发的DMRS资源上，UE将接收信号减去通过DMRS预估的信道信号，剩余的信号作为干扰。具体的对应关系为哪一种，可以由系统设定，或者，通过网络侧配置，可选的，在设定或配置时，还可以引入其他参考因素，在此不予限定。
(2)其他配置信息，如UE需要同时检测的用于当前载波下行数据传输的下行控制信道 的数目，和/或，QCL配置信息等
UE可以根据其他配置信息与测量行为之间的对应关系来确定在配置或触发的干扰测量资源上的测量行为。其他配置信息包括UE需要同时检测的用于当前载波下行数据传输的下行控制信道的数目，和/或，QCL配置信息等。
比如，UE需要同时检测的用于当前载波下行数据传输的下行控制信道的数目与UE的测量行为之间具有对应关系。例如，基站配置UE需要接收的PDCCH的数目，当该数目大于1时，则在配置或触发的NZP CSI-RS资源上，UE将该NZP资源上所测得的信道矩阵和预编码矩阵相乘作为干扰，或者，UE将接收信号减去预估的信道信号，剩余的信号作为干扰，或者，UE通过DMRS资源测量其他UE所造成的干扰，或者，UE将接收信号减去通过DMRS预估的信道信号，剩余的信号作为干扰。其中，可选的，其他UE包括MU-MIMO场景下的配对UE，和/或，不同于所述UE所在小区的其他小区所调度的UE。具体的对应关系为哪一种，可以由系统设定，或者，通过网络侧配置。可选的，在设定或配置时，还可以引入其他参考因素，在此不予限定。
再比如，其他配置信息还可以是QCL配置信息，如可以通过PQI(PDSCH RE Mapping and Quasi-Co-Location Indicator，物理下行共享信道资源元素映射及准共址指示)域确定测量行为。例如PQI指示了不少于两个QCL信息时，则在配置或触发的NZP CSI-RS资源上，UE将该NZP资源上所测得的信道矩阵和预编码矩阵相乘作为干扰，或者，UE将接收信号减去预估的信道信号，剩余的信号作为干扰，或者，UE通过DMRS资源测量其他UE所造成的干扰，或者，UE将接收信号减去通过DMRS预估的信道信号，剩余的信号作为干扰。其中，可选的，其他UE包括MU-MIMO场景下的配对UE，和/或，不同于所述UE所在小区的其他小区所调度的UE。具体的对应关系为哪一种，可以由系统设定，或者，通过网络侧配置。可选的，在设定或配置时，还可以引入其他参考因素，在此不予限定。
可以理解的是，上述指示还可以是显式指示和隐式指示相结合的方式，比如，信道测量的指示用隐式指示的方式，而具体的干扰测量的种类采用显式指示的方式。
在同一种RS既可以测信道又可以测干扰，或者多种RS测信道或测干扰，则可能出现的情况是：基站为UE配置了测量资源，但是按照现有的协议，UE并不知道在所配置的资源上所测出的结果是信道还是干扰，或者是最强干扰还是最弱干扰。因此，配置了某种资源不再代表单一的测量行为。基于本发明实施例中提供的方法，可以配置在某种资源下的某种测量行为。
另外，在协作场景下，随着UE的移动或者基站间的动态协作，传输集是动态变化的。因此，在测量阶段，基站和UE都还未确定传输集中包含哪些基站(除非依靠RSRP决定传输集)。所以，CSI测量结果需要辅助基站决策传输集的大小和构成。一种可能的解决方法是：UE将可能的传输集下的CSI测量结果反馈给基站，为基站提供在多种协作假设、传输假设、干扰假设下的测量结果，以此帮助基站的决策。本发明实施例提供的方法，UE可以根据测量属性，获得多种CSI测量结果，以支撑基站的决策。
以下给出了几种可能的配置方式：
方式一，所述用于信道状态信息测量的资源包括至少一个，用于指示所述资源的测量属性的第一指示信息包括若干元素，若干元素中的每一个元素用于指示所述资源中的每个的测量属性。其中，每个元素可以为int(十进制)值，bit(比特)值，或是测量属性的索引。 这种方式下，可选的，每个资源仅具有一种测量属性。其中每个元素所包括的bit值的bit个数与测量属性的种类数量相关。比如，测量属性的种类数量为4，则bit值的bit个数为2；测量属性的种类数量为5，则bit值的bit个数为3。在这种方式下，可选的，所述第一指示信息可以包括在信道状态信息测量设置(CSI measurement setting)域或者CSI进程域中。可选的，所述第一指示信息包括在高层信令中，或者，包括在物理层信令中。其中，高层信令可以包括RRC信令，物理层信令可以包括下行控制信息(downlink control information，DCI)信令。这种情况下，当一个资源的测量属性改变时，需要TRP重新配置并下发第一指示信息。可以理解的是，这种情况既适合于存在多种干扰测量的情况，如前所定义所示，也适合于只存在信道测量和一种干扰测量(如现有的利用ZP CSI-RS进行干扰测量)的情况。举例的，基站配置资源的测量属性如下表二：
表二
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000008
上述第一指示信息可以为0011122，其中，每个元素为1int，也可以为00000101011010，其中每个元素为2bit，对应的ID均为依次由小到大的顺序。
UE收到上述第一指示信息，可以获知ID为1和2的资源，测量属性为0，ID为3,4和5的资源，测量属性为1，ID为6和7的资源，测量属性为2。
方式二，由于资源的测量属性信息与资源的类型解耦，则可以将同一个资源既配置为用于信道测量，又用于前述X种干扰测量中的至少一种。也就是说，用于信道状态信息测量的资源具有一种测量属性，或，具有多于一种测量属性。在配置时，用于指示资源的测量属性信息的第一指示信息可以以该资源的标识(ID)为维度。比如，在该资源的资源域中包括该第一指示信息。示例的，第一指示信息可以为若干元素，每个元素可以为该资源所具有的测量属性的索引，或者，为若干元素中的每个对应一种测量属性，元素的个数与测量属性的种类有关，比如元素为“1”时，表示该元素对应的测量属性被激活，为“0”时，表示该元素对应的测量属性未被激活。举例的，基站为每一个资源(ID)配置测量属性，如下表三：
表三
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000009
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000010
资源的配置信息可以举例如下：
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000011
其中，Measure Type用于指示该资源具有的测量属性。
根据上表相应的配置，UE可以获知在资源ID为0的资源上，进行信道测量，在ID为1的资源上，进行干扰测量，获得最强干扰，ID为2和3的资源上，进行干扰测量，获得全向干扰，ID为4的资源上，进行干扰测量，获得邻基站的干扰功率。
可以理解的是，上表中所示出的是每个ID均只有一种测量属性的情况，但本实施例可以应用于每个ID具有多于一种测量属性的情况。
方式三，方式二中以资源为维度进行配置，另一种方式可以为以测量属性为维度进行配置。即一种测量属性对应一个用于信道状态信息测量的资源，或者，一种测量属性对应多于一个用于信道状态信息测量的资源。在配置时，用于指示资源的测量属性信息的第一指示信息可以包括若干元素，每个元素可以为具有某种测量属性的一个或多于一个用于信道状态信息测量的资源的资源标识，或者，若干元素中的每个对应一个资源标识，指示该资源是否具有该测量属性。元素的个数与资源(标识)总数有关。比如，元素为“1”时，表示该元素对应的资源具有该测量属性，为“0”时，表示该元素对应的资源无该测量属性。举例的，基站为每种测量属性配置资源ID，如下表四：
表四
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000012
一种测量属性的配置信令示例如下：
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000013
其中，MeasureType0配置的是Type0对应的CSI-RS资源ID(通过CSI-RS-ConfigIdList配置)，MeasureType1配置的是Type1对应的CSI-RS资源ID(通过CSI-RS-ConfigIdList配置)。
可选的，该配置信令可以包括在CSI measurement setting域或者CSI进程域中。
根据上表相应的配置，UE可以获知ID为0的资源被用于信道测量，ID为1的资源被用于Type1的干扰测量，ID为2和3的资源被用于Type2的干扰测量，ID为4的资源被用于Type4的干扰测量。
可以理解的是，上表中所示出的是每个ID均只有一种测量属性的情况，但本实施例可以应用于每个ID具有多于一种测量属性的情况。
这样方式下，type也可以为CSI measurement setting中包括的RS setting和IM setting两种类型，上表可以表示为如下表五：
表五
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000014
这样，每种测量属性所对应的资源ID可以在相应的测量属性域中进行配置，比如在RS-setting(参考信号设置)域中配置资源ID为1和2，在IM-setting(干扰测量设置)域 中配置资源ID为3,4和5。
可选的，可以在CSI measurement setting里配置的链接(link)中，通过link的配置信息，说明link所指示的resource setting里面的资源具有何种测量属性。
resource setting里面的资源即为前述用于信道状态信息测量的资源。
link中的配置信息可以包括：资源设置标识(resource setting ID),上报设置标识(reporting setting ID)。前述用于信道状态信息测量的资源的信息包括所述资源设置标识。
可选的，该link中的配置信息可以进一步包括：资源的属性(quantity)。
其中，资源的属性可以为信道(channel)或干扰(interference)。
可选的，所述link中的配置信息还可以进一步包括：干扰测量属性。
所述资源的属性和/或所述干扰测量属性为前述测量属性的具体表现。
该干扰测量属性可以为前述X种干扰测量的项。干扰测量属性的标识(如索引或编号)可以与前述X种干扰测量的项的标识相同，也可以不同。
当前述资源的属性为信道时，所述link中的配置信息中可以没有信道测量属性这一字段(或域)。
比如，link指示测量属性标识为1，表示link所指向的资源上进行标识1对应的测量行为。可以有多于一个link均指示了干扰测量，每个link均指示了所指向资源的测量属性，该测量属性可以包括前述资源的属性和/或干扰测量属性。
可选的，前述资源包括零功率信道状态信息参考信号的资源，由于该零功率信道状态信息参考信号(ZP CSI-RS)的资源的属性只能是干扰。因而，指示该资源相关配置的link中可以不包括资源的属性这一域(或字段，或信元)，而包括干扰测量属性。
一个Link可以包括多个资源的配置信息，每个资源的配置信息所包括的内容(即前述上报设置标识，资源的属性，干扰测量属性，信道测量属性中的一项或多项)可以不同。可选的，这些资源的每项配置信息可以包括每个资源设置标识所对应的配置信息，与资源设置标识的顺序具有对应关系，比如按照资源设置标识的顺序依次指示。而对应于ZP CSI-RS的资源的资源的属性，则可以默认为无。比如link所指向的具有干扰测量属性的资源的个数有2个，其中一个资源为ZP CSI-RS资源，另一个为非ZP CSI-RS资源，这种情况下，link指示的资源的属性只有一个(干扰)，而干扰测量属性则有2个。
举例而言，link的一种配置形式可以为：
(1)配置信息的属性为数值
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000015
方式四，与前述方式一至三独立的或相结合的，所述用于信道状态信息测量的资源的信息包括可用于信道测量的资源的信息和用于干扰测量的资源的信息，所述配置信息还包括第二指示信息，用于指示实际用于信道测量的资源的个数M，其中，M为不小于1的整数。
这种方式下，可选的，所述用户设备根据所述配置信息进行信道状态信息的测量并反馈所述信道状态信息包括：
所述用户设备根据所述第二指示信息确定所述可用于信道状态信息的资源中实际用于信道测量的M个资源，针对所述实际用于信道测量的M个资源进行信道状态信息的测量和反馈。
可选的，针对所述实际用于信道测量的资源进行信道状态信息的测量包括：对所述实际用于信道测量的资源进行信道测量，或者，对所述实际用于信道测量的资源进行信道测量以及对所述可用于信道状态信息测量的资源中除所述M个资源之外的资源进行干扰测量。
举例的，基站的配置可以如下表六：
表六
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000016
这种情况下，UE可以通过第二指示信息获知实际用于信道测量的资源个数为1。其中，第二指示信息的值可以为int类型也可以为bit类型或其他类型，在此不予限定。通过配置信息获知可用于信道测量的资源为ID为1和2的资源，用于干扰测量的资源为ID为3的资源。以第二指示信息的值为int类型为例，由于可用于信道测量的资源个数为2，则实际用于信道测量的资源个数取值可以为“0”，“1”或“2”，分别表示0个，1个，2个。若第二指示信息的值为“2”，表示ID为1的资源和ID为2的资源来自做协作传输的两个基站，两个资源上测出的结果均为信道，测出的是联合信道。若值为“1”，表示UE需获得两个CQI计算结果，一种可能的情况为：分别在ID＝1的资源用于信道测量、其他ID的资源用于干扰测量时，和ID＝2的资源用于信道测量、其他ID的资源用于干扰测量时获得，另一种可能的情况为：分别在ID＝1的资源用于信道测量，ID＝3的资源用于干扰测量时，和ID＝2的资源用于信道测量，ID＝3的资源用于干扰测量时获得。这种情况与前一种情况的区别在于，在可用于信道测量的资源中未被用于信道测量的资源不用于干扰测量。具体的，是否将可用于信道测量的资源中未被用于信道测量的资源用于干扰测量可以由协议预定义，或者，有基站另行配置。以第二指示信息的值为二进制类型为例，如“00”“01”“10”“11”，“01”可以指示ID为1的资源用于信道测量，“10”可以指示ID为2的资源用于信道测量，“11”可以指示ID为1和2的资源均用于信道测量(联合信道)。也就是说，第二指示信息不仅可以指示实际用于信道测量的资源的个数，还可以指示具体是哪个资源用于信道测量。
可选的，第二指示信息的域的值的缺省值可以默认为int类型1，即只有一个资源可以用于信道测量，即没有联合信道。这种情况下，可以预定义UE按照资源ID顺序从小到大依次选择一个资源用于信道测量，其他资源均用于干扰测量，得到的若干个CQI。或者，第二指示信息的域的值的范围可以与可用于信道测量的资源个数相同，比如基站和UE均可以获知可用于信道资源的个数，如上表中所示的有两个，则该域可以有两个bit，用于分别指示两个资源ID。在本发明实施例中，未被用于信道测量的资源用于干扰测量，可以默认的获得最强干扰对应的干扰功率，也可以另行由基站配置，在此不予限定。
可选的，在第二指示信息指示了实际用于信道测量的M个资源的情况下，再通过一个域(指示信息)指示UE需上报的测量结果为所有可能的测量结果中的第几个。可以理解的是，这里的第几个可以为一个或多个值。比如资源ID＝1,2,3,4的情况下，先通过第二指示信息指示实际用于信道测量的资源个数为1，则UE可以测得四种可能的CQI。UE根据基站指示的需上报的测量结果为所有可能的测量结果中的第3个，则可以获知，需上报的测量结果为ID＝3的资源用于信道测量的情况下获得的CQI。这个指示方式在较多资源ID并且有多个ID作为信道的情况下能节省UE上报的信令开销。
示例的，具体的配置信息可以为RRC信令或DCI信令。比如：RRC信令可以配置RS setting中包括ID为1,2,3的资源，IM setting中包括ID为4,5的资源(可简称为资源4,5)，RRC信令中还可以包括上述第二指示信息，可选的，RRC信令中还可以进一步包括上述用于指示UE需上报的测量结果为所有可能的测量结果中的第几个的域。比如，第二指示信息的域包括在RS setting域中，或是RS-IMsetting域中，或是，interference hypothesis setting(干扰假设设置)域中，其中，interference hypothesis setting(干扰假设设置)域可以与RS setting域和IM setting域为并列关系。在需要改变第二指示信息域的配置(或者其他域的配置)时，可以由RRC信令再次下发新的配置内容，此时可以只下发需要改变的配置，或者也可以下发一组RRC信令(包括RS setting、IM setting、第二指示信息域或其他可能的域)。或者当需要改变配置时，通过DCI信令更新需要改变的配置，举例：DCI信令配置第二指示信息域的值为“2”，以指示要测量两个资源ID的联合信道。
举例的，基站的配置如下表七所示，type的物理含义参考表一种的描述：
表七
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000017
这种情况下，第二指示信息指示的实际用于信道测量的资源的个数为1，则UE可以获知需测量得到均为一个资源用于信道测量的情况，获得CQI时，可以包括1/(2+3+4+5),2/(1+3+4+5),3/(1+2+4+5)这三种情况下的值。其中，分子为用于信道测量的资源的ID，分母为用于干扰测量的资源的ID。排除了两个资源用于信道测量的情况，如(1+2)/(3+4+5)。
这种方式下，可以通过第二指示信息，指示所需获得的多种测量结果，相较于固定指示测量属性，需要多种测量结果则需配置多次测量属性的方式，可以减少信令开销，从而利用多种测量结果作为基站进行调度时决策的参考。
方式五，可以与前述方式一至四独立的或与方式一至三中任一种相结合，所述用于信道状态信息测量的资源的信息包括用于信道测量的资源的信息和可用于干扰测量的资源的信息，所述配置信息还包括第三指示信息，用于指示实际用于干扰测量的资源的个数N，其中，N为不小于0的整数。
这种方式下，可选的，所述用户设备根据所述配置信息进行信道状态信息的测量并反馈所述信道状态信息包括：
所述用户设备根据所述第三指示信息确定所述用于信道状态信息的资源中实际用于干扰测量的N个资源，针对用于信道测量的资源进行信道状态信息的测量和反馈，其中，针对用于信道测量的资源进行信道状态信息的测量包括对用于信道测量的资源进行信道测量和对所述N个资源进行干扰测量。
举例的，基站可以配置如下表八，type的具体物理含义参考表一中的描述：
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000018
第三指示信息指示的实际用于干扰测量的资源的个数为2，则表示干扰测量的资源集合包括两个用于干扰测量的资源，如3和4，4和5，或，3和5。第三指示信息的域的值可以为int类型，如“0”“1”“2”“3”，也可以为二进制类型，如“00”“01”“10”“11”。
示例的，实际用于干扰测量的资源的个数后，可以按照ID由小到大的顺序从可用于干扰测量的资源中选取相应个数的资源用于干扰测量，进而获得相应的若干个CQI。而可用于干扰测量的资源中未被实际用于干扰测量的资源，则可以既不用于干扰测量，又不用于信道测量，即忽略。
和方式四中类似，也可以进一步包括指示信息，用于指示UE需要上报的CQI为按一定规则获得的若干个CQI中的第几个。可以理解的是，这里的第几个可以为一个或多个值。
可选的第三指示信息可以包括在RRC信令或DCI信令中，比如，第三指示信息的域包括在IM setting域，或是RS-IMsetting域，或是，interference hypothesis setting(干扰假设设置)域中，其中，interference hypothesis setting(干扰假设设置)域可以与RS setting域和IM setting域为并列关系。可以理解的是，本发明实施例中域可以包括一个或多于一个信元。
方式六，与前述方式一至五独立的或与方式一至三中任一种相结合的，所述用于信道状态信息测量的资源的信息包括可用于信道测量的资源的信息和可用于干扰测量的资源的信息，所述配置信息还包括第二指示信息和第三指示信息，第二指示信息用于指示实际用于信道测量的资源的个数M，第三指示信息用于指示实际用于干扰测量的资源的个数N，其中，M为不小于1的整数，N为不小于0的整数。
这种方式下，可选的，所述用户设备根据所述配置信息进行信道状态信息的测量并反馈所述信道状态信息包括：
所述用户设备根据所述第二指示信息确定所述可用于信道状态信息的资源中实际用于信道测量的M个资源，根据所述第三指示信息确定所述用于信道状态信息的资源中实际用于干扰测量的N个资源，针对所述实际用于信道测量的M个资源进行信道状态信息的测量和反馈，其中，可选的，针对所述实际用于信道测量的M个资源进行信道状态信息的测量包括对所述实际用于信道测量的M个资源进行信道测量和对所述N个资源进行干扰测量，或者，对所述实际用于信道测量的M个资源进行信道测量以及对所述可用于信道状态信息测量的资源中除所述M个资源之外的资源和所述N个资源进行干扰测量。
这种方式下具体的描述可以参考方式四和方式五中的描述，在此不予赘述。
方式七，可以独立于方式一至六，也可以与方式一至三中任意一种结合，所述用于信道状态信息测量的资源的信息包括可用于信道测量的资源的信息和用于干扰测量的资源的信息，所述配置信息还包括第四指示信息，用于指示传输集的个数Y，Y为整数。
可选的，所述用户设备根据所述第四指示信息所指示的传输集的个数Y，确定所述可用于信道测量的资源中实际用于信道测量的Z个资源，针对实际用于信道测量的Z个资源进行信道状态信息的测量和反馈，其中，Z＝k*Y，k为每个传输集包括的用于信道测量的资源的个数，k为不小于1的整数。
可选的，针对实际用于信道测量的Z个资源进行信道状态信息的测量包括：对实际用于信道测量的Z个资源进行信道测量以及对所述可用于信道状态信息测量的资源中除所述Z个资源之外的资源进行干扰测量。
举例的，基站的配置可以为如下表九，type的物理含义可以参考表一中的描述：
表九
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000019
表九中以传输集的个数Y为1，一个传输集中包括的用于信道状态信息测量的资源的个数为2为例，则UE可以获知可用于信道测量的资源中实际用于信道测量的资源的个数为2。UE可以对实际用于信道测量的2个资源进行信道测量以及对所述可用于信道状态信息测量的资源中除所述2个资源之外的资源进行干扰测量，比如，(1+2)/(3+4+5),(1+3)/(2+4+5),(1+4)/(2+3+5),(2+3)/(1+4+5),(2+4)/(1+3+5),(3+4)/(1+2+5)。UE也可以对未被用于信道测量的资源不进行测量，如，(1+2)/5,(1+3)/5,(1+4)/5,(2+3)/5,(2+4)/5等。
第四指示信息可以包括在高层信令中，也可以包括在物理层信令中，示例的，第四指示信息可以包括在CSI measurement setting域或CSI进程中，进一步的，可以包括在RS-setting域中。
方式八，与方式一至三中任一种独立的或结合的，所述测量属性中的信道测量所对应的资源包括至少两个，且所述用户设备根据所述配置信息进行信道状态信息的测量并反馈所述信道状态信息包括：
所述用户设备针对至少两个资源中的至少一个测量并反馈信道状态信息，所述测量包括对所述至少两个资源中的至少一个进行信道测量以及对除进行信道测量的至少两个资源中的至少一个之外的资源进行干扰测量。
在这种方式下，UE收到的用于信道测量的资源为可用于信道测量的资源，对可用于信道测量的资源中的至少一个资源进行各种组合，从而获得相应的若干个测量结果。具体测量时，可以将未被用于信道测量的资源用于干扰测量，或者，不用于测量。具体方式可以由基站配置，或，依据协议预定义的方式进行。举例的，配置的可用于信道测量的资源为ID＝1,2和3的资源，则UE可以获得6个CSI，并依据预定的规则进行上报。
方式九，与方式一至三中任一种独立的或结合的，所述用于信道状态信息测量的资源可以包括NZP CSI-RS的资源(简称NZP资源)和/或ZP CSI-RS的资源(简称ZP资源)。可以通过NZP资源和ZP资源的配置信息所包括的字段(或信元)的不同来区分配置信息是NZP资源还是ZP资源的配置信息。由于ZP资源的属性是一定的，即为干扰，则可以获知ZP资源的测量行为。
可选的，在NZP资源用于干扰测量时的测量行为是唯一的，即具有一种干扰测量属性，并且ZP资源的测量行为也是唯一的情况下，比如在NZP资源上的测量行为(干扰测量属性)是测量干扰的信道矩阵和预编码矩阵并将两者相乘后的结果作为干扰，在ZP资源上的测量行为(干扰测量属性)是测量干扰的功率信息，由于NZP CSI-RS的配置信息和ZP CSI-RS的配置信息所包括的字段(或信元)不同，那么可以根据该资源的字段数目可以推算出，该资源的干扰测量属性。这种情况下，除了可以对NZP资源和ZP资源的配置信息的格式(如NZP资源与ZP资源的配置信息在消息中的位置，所占的大小，或是，NZP资源的标识的范围，ZP资源的标识的范围)等进行特别的规定以区分二者(本申请中也并不排除对所述格式不进行特别的规定)，还可以通过配置信息所包括的字段的数目来区分二者，进而确定每个资源的干扰测量属性(对应于干扰测量行为)。
比如在LTE对NZP和ZP的配置信息中，ZP的配置有3个字段，NZP的配置有6个字段。由于NR中资源配置时不一定按照NZP和ZP从命名上就区分开了这两个资源，有可能都称为干扰测量资源(IMR)，一种可能的表现可以是二者的标识的范围是重合的，这样的话，IMR1和IMR2的字段数量不同，就可以区分出IMR1是NZP，IMR2是ZP。进而根据NZP的测量行为是唯一的，并且ZP的测量行为也是唯一的，比如在NZP资源上的测量行为是测量干扰的信道矩阵和预编码矩阵并将两者相乘后的结果作为干扰，在ZP资源上的测量行为是测量干扰的功率信息，那么区分出某个IMR是NZP还是ZP即可以确定在该资源上的测量行为，即可以确定了各资源的干扰测量属性。
可选的，ZP CSI-RS的配置信息可以如下，该配置信息包括3个字段：
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000020
可选的，NZP CSI-RS的配置信息可以如下，该配置信息包括6个字段：
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000021
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000022
基于上述方式一至方式九中任意一种配置方式，UE在反馈相应的CSI时，可以以预定义的规则进行相应的反馈，也可以根据基站的指示进行相应的反馈。
预定义的规则可以为UE根据用于信道测量的资源的ID的大小来反馈，比如：min(min(ΣIDRS),min(IDRS))，即依次按照在用于信道测量的资源的ID的最小值，与，用于信道测量的资源的ID的和的最小值中较小的那个为依据，进行CSI的反馈。
在信道测量资源一致的情况下，可以按照用于干扰测量的资源ID的大小来反馈，比如：min(min(ΣIDIM),min(IDIM))，即依次按照在用于干扰测量的资源的ID的最小值，与，用于干扰测量的资源的ID的和的最小值中较小的那个为依据，进行CSI的反馈。
或者，按照max(min(ΣIDRS),min(IDRS))和/或max(min(ΣIDIM),min(IDIM))为依据进行CSI的反馈。
可以理解的是，也可以通过其他预定的规则进行CSI的反馈，在此不予限定。
确定CSI的反馈顺序后，CSI可以在上行数据信道如物理上行共享信道(PUSCH)中反馈。
可选的，基站预先知道有多少个可能的CSI，可以在上行数据信道中预留对应的bit数进行CSI检测。UE反馈的时候，按照预定义将CSI排序，将CSI通过上行数据信道反馈给基站。
可选的，每个CSI按照定义的周期加上各自的偏移量在上行控制信道如物理上行控制信道(PUCCH)上反馈。
以CQI为例，CQI的偏移量可以通过在RRC信令中的cqi-pmi-ConfigIndexList信元进行配置，如下所示：
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000023
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000024
少种CQI的可能性，因此可以在RRC信令中就配置了对应个数的偏移量和/或周期。这样，UE可以根据预设的顺序，在上行控制信道上按照相应的周期和偏移量依次反馈。
通过本发明实施例提供的方法，UE可以获知相应的用于CSI测量的资源的测量属性。且可以通过基站的一些指示，获知如何利用这些用于CSI测量的资源，来获得相应的CSI测量结果。可以通过较少的开销，获得较多的CSI测量结果，进而支持基站的各种传输方案，或在某种传输方案下提升与UE通信的效率。
如图3所示，本发明实施例提出了另一种信道状态信息测量的方法，包括：
S301，用户设备接收来自无线网络设备的用于信道状态信息测量的配置信息，所述配置信息包括可用于信道状态信息测量的资源的信息；
S302，所述用户设备根据所述配置信息进行信道状态信息的测量，并反馈所述信道状态信息以及所述信道状态信息所对应的用于信道状态信息测量的资源的测量属性信息，所述测量属性包括信道测量，或，X种干扰测量，或，信道测量和X种干扰测量，其中X为不小于1的整数。
相应的，无线网络设备向用户设备发送用于信道状态信息测量的配置信息，所述配置信息包括可用于信道状态信息测量的资源的信息；接收所述用户设备反馈的信道状态信息以及信道状态信息所对应的用于信道状态信息测量的资源的测量属性信息，所述测量属性包括信道测量，或，X种干扰测量，或，信道测量和X种干扰测量，其中X为不小于1的整数，用于信道状态信息测量的资源为所述可用于信道状态信息测量的资源中的全部或部分。
可选的，所述X种干扰测量包括利用零功率的参考信号测量干扰(如干扰功率)，利用非零功率的信道状态信息参考信号的资源获取最强的P个干扰(其中P可配置或者为协议预定无需配置)，利用非零功率的信道状态信息参考信号的资源获取最弱的Q个干扰(其中Q可配置或者为协议预定无需配置)，利用非零功率的信道状态信息参考信号的资源获取未被预编码的干扰(全向干扰)，利用非零功率的信道状态信息参考信号的资源获取对应可使用的码本中的所有可选取的预编码矩阵的所有干扰，利用非零功率的信道状态信息参考信号的资源获取对应非最强或最弱的特定预编码矩阵(W)的干扰，以及，利用非零功率的解调参考信号获取被预编码的干扰中的至少一种。
可选的，信道状态信息所对应的用于信道状态信息测量的资源的测量属性信息包括若干比特，所述若干比特中的每个比特用于指示所述资源中的每个的测量属性。举例的，UE反馈一个CSI及相应的测量属性信息，如11000，则表示该CSI是在前两个比特对应的资源用于信道测量，后三个比特对应的资源用于干扰测量的情况下获得的。
可选的，还可以通过传输方案与CSI反馈的对应关系，来确定UE反馈的CSI所对应的资源的测量属性。其中，传输方案包括NCJT(non-coherent joint transmission，非相干联 合传输)，CS/CB(coordinated scheduling and beamforming，协同调度和波束成型)，DPS(dynamic point selection，动态点选择)或DPB(dynamic point blanking，动态点关闭)等。比如，传输方案为NCJT的情况下，UE可以为两个TRP所对应的用于CSI测量的资源分别计算出各自的CQI，并且计算其中一个CQI时另一个TRP的NZP资源的测量结果默认为干扰(即NZP资源用于干扰测量)。
可选的，以上信道状态信息所对应的用于信道状态信息测量的资源的测量属性信息可以包括在CSI reporting setting(报告设置)域中。
可选的，上述传输方案可以在tranmission scheme setting(传输方案设置)域中进行配置。
以上图1或图3所示的方法，可以应用于MU-MIMO(multi-user multiple input multiple output，多用户的多输入多输出)场景或协作场景。
MU-MIMO场景下一种可能的方案是：服务基站调度多个用户设备时，分别为每个用户配置不同的测量资源。一个用户设备被配置了多个资源，有些资源用于信道测量，有些资源用于干扰测量，则这些资源可以通过不同的类型来区分用途。另一种可能的方案是：调度的多个用户设备使用了相同的测量资源，这些资源上测量结果可以在不同的CSI report中作为信道或者作为干扰。
协作场景下可能的方案是：一个UE被多个基站调度时，不同基站在为UE配置测量资源时，不同基站可以使用相同的测量资源也可以使用不同的测量资源。则一个UE可以在相同的资源上测出两个不同CQI，分别对应两个协作基站(例如有两个协作基站)，这种情况下，一个NZP资源可以被当做信道也可以被当做干扰，则一个NZP资源可以在一种CSI report计算中被配置为Type 0(信道)，在另一个CSI report计算中被配置为Type 1(干扰)。如果两个基站调用了不同的测量资源，则一个UE上分别在两组测量资源上测出两个CQI。
本发明实施例中提出的方法不限于上述MU-MIMO或协作场景，还可以应用于其他场景，在此不予限定。
利用本发明实施例提供的方法，可以在不同的干扰假设(即同一个资源可用于信道测量，也可用于干扰测量)下测量出相应的CSI，进而可以使得基站根据CSI测量结果选择出更精确的传输集。

此外，本申请还提供如下实施例，用于信道状态信息的配置和/或触发以及上报的过程中。下述实施例中所描述的方案可以单独使用，也可以与本申请上文中所描述任何一种或者多种方案结合使用，例如，在信道状态信息配置、测量以及上报的整个过程中，可以先使用本申请上文中的所提供的任一种信道状态信息测量方法完成信道状态信息的测量，再使用本申请下文所提供的任一种信道状态信息上报的方法，完成信道状态信息上报的触发或配置，并完成信道状态信息的上报。
为了提高用户设备(user equipment，UE)的性能，多个网络设备可以协作为该UE提供数据传输，此时，UE可以通过测量获得多个网络设备的信道状态信息，并将多个网络设备的信道状态信息上报给多个网络设备中的至少一个，以便多个网络设备之间的协作和调度。例如，在非相干联合传输(non-coherent joint transmission，NCJT)场景下，网络侧(例如，服务网络设备)为了判断2个网络设备是否适合协作，服务网络设备(如，TRP1)为UE配置2个信道状态信息测量配置，1个信道状态信息测量配置是以TRP1为信道，待参与协作的网络设备(如，TRP2)为协作集内的干扰。另1个信道状态信息测量配置是以TRP2为信道，TRP1为协作集内的干扰。2个信道状态信息测量配置分别得到1个信道状态信息测量结果。TRP1需要获得UE上报的2个信道状态信息测量结果，从而获知TRP1和TRP2做NCJT时2条信道情况，并判断出TRP1和TRP2做NCJT时的系统吞吐量，从而判断或决定协作和调度情况。UE还可以通过测量，获得其他不为其提供数据传输的网络设备的信道状态信息，这些信道状态信息可以作为干扰测量的结果上报给为所述UE提供数据传输的网络设备，以便网络设备之间的协作和调度。例如，在动态点静默(dynamic point blanking，DPB)场景中，TRP2是UE的干扰源，可以通过静默TRP2，降低UE受到的干扰。在信道状态信息测量阶段，TRP1可以为UE配置2个信道状态信息测量配置，1个信道状态信息测量配置考虑了TRP2的干扰，另1 个信道状态信息测量配置认为TRP2静默没有对UE产生干扰。UE在接收2个信道状态信息测量配置后，分别测量出有无TRP2干扰下的信道状态信息测量结果并上报给TRP1，以便TRP1可以判断出TRP2静默后对信道质量的改变量，并在调度中体现TRP2是否静默。
当UE需要上报多个信道状态信息的时候，通常网络设备需要尽快的接收到所述多个信道状态信息，以便综合所有的信息进行下一时刻的协作和调度。故此，需要一种信道状态信息的触发和上报方式，尽量减小多个信道状态信息上报之间的时延，以便网络设备尽快利用多个信道状态信息进行协作和调度。
本申请实施例提供了一种通信系统，该通信系统可以包括至少一个网络设备和至少一个UE。所述网络设备可以是接入网侧用于支持UE接入系统的设备，例如基站(base station，BS)、中继节点(relay node)、接入点(access point，AP)、发送接收点(transmission reception point，TRP)等。所述基站可以为宏基站、微基站、家庭基站等。所述网络设备可以为固定的，也可以是移动的。在本申请实施例中，所述UE可以称为终端(terminal)，移动台(mobile station)，用户单元(subscriber unit)，站台(station)等。UE可以为蜂窝电话(cellular phone)，个人数字助理(personal digital assistant，PDA)，无线调制解调器(modem)，无线通信设备，手持设备(handheld)，膝上型电脑(laptop computer)，无绳电话(cordless phone)，无线本地环路(wireless local loop，WLL)台，平板电脑(pad)等。随着物联网技术的发展，可以接入无线通信网络、可以与无线网络系统侧进行通信，或者通过无线网络与其它物体进行通信的设备都可以是本申请实施例中的UE，譬如，智能交通中的终端和汽车、智能家居中的家用设备、智能电网中的终端、电力抄表仪器、电压监测仪器、环境监测仪器、智能安全网络中的视频监控仪器、收款机等等。在本申请实施例中，所述UE可以与网络设备进行通信。所述UE可以是静态的，也可以是移动的。
如图7所示，本申请实施例提供了一种通信系统100。该通信系统100包括至少一个网络设备和至少一个用户设备。UE通过无线接口接入网络设备进行通信，也可以与另一UE进行通信，如D2D(Device to Device，设备对设备)或M2M(Machine to Machine，机器对机器)场景下的通信。网络设备可以与UE通信，也可以与另一网络设备进行通信，如宏基站和接入点之间的通信。在所述通信系统100中，一个网络设备可以为一个或多个UE提供通信服务，例如网络侧设备22为UE42提供通信服务；一个UE也可以在相同载波上与多个网络设备进行通信，例如UE40可以在相同的载波上同时接收网络设备20、网络设备22以及网络设备24所传输的下行数据。
所述通信系统100，包括但不限于例如码分多址(code division multiple access，CDMA)、时分多址(Time division multiple access，TDMA)、频分多址(frequency division multiple access，FDMA)、正交频分多址(orthogonal frequency-division multiple access，OFDMA)、单载波频分多址(single carrier FDMA，SC-FDMA)系统和其它网络等，例如，3GPP长期演进(long term evolut ion，LTE)系统后续进一步演进的系统，或者新无线接入技术(new radio access technology)系统(可以简称为“NR”系统)，或者标准组织开发的5G系统或任何下一代系统。术语“网络”和“系统”在本发明实施例中可以相互替换。CDMA网络可以实现例如通用无线陆地接入(universal terrestrial radio access，UTRA)，CDMA2000等无线技术。UTRA可以包括CDMA(WCDMA)和其他CDMA的变形。CDMA2000可以覆盖临时标准(interim standard，IS)2000(IS-2000)，IS-95和IS-856标准。TDMA网络可以实现例如全球移动通信系统(global system for mobile communication，GSM)等无线技术。OFDMA网络可以实现诸如演进通用无线陆地接入(evolved UTRA，E-UTRA)、超级移动宽带(ultra mobile  broadband，UMB)、IEEE 802.11(Wi-Fi)，IEEE 802.16(WiMAX)，IEEE 802.20，Flash OFDMA等无线技术。UTRA和E-UTRA是UMTS以及UMTS演进版本。3GPP长期演进(long term evolution，LTE)和LTE高级(LTE Advanced，LTE-A)是使用E-UTRA的UMTS的新版本。UTRA、E-UTRA、UMTS、LTE、LTE-A和GSM在3GPP标准组织的文档中有记载描述。CDMA2000和UMB在3GPP2标准组织的文档中有记载描述。
本申请中所述的信道状态信息(channel state information，CSI)，是用于上报信道和/或干扰测量结果的信息。例如，所述CSI可以包括秩指示(rank indication，RI)、预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indication，PMI)、信道质量指示(channel quality indicator，CQI)、CSI-RS资源标示(CSI-RS resource indicator，CRI)和预编码类型指示(precoding type indicator，PTI)中的至少一种。CSI可以包括非周期性上报的CSI，周期性上报的CSI或者半静态上报(semi-persistent reporting)的CSI。非周期性上报的CSI根据网络设备的触发进行上报，周期性上报的CSI根据网络设备配置的上报周期进行上报。半静态上报的CSI根据网络设备配置的上报周期和网络设备的触发在一定的时间内进行周期性的上报，而在该时间段外不上报。半静态上报的CSI一般可以通过信令激活/去激活上报，终端在接收激活信令后，按照配置的上报周期和偏移量上报，在接收去激活信令后，停止上报。
本申请中所述的一个CSI，是指对一个CSI测量资源(CSI measurement resource)进行测量后上报的CSI。或者，是指对一个信道状态信息参考信号资源(CSI-RS resource)进行测量后上报的CSI。或者，是指根据一个CSI上报配置(CSI reporting setting)信息进行上报的CSI。其中，一个非周期性上报的CSI，是指对一个CSI测量资源进行测量后一次上报的CSI；一个周期性上报的CSI，是指对一个CSI测量资源进行测量后周期性多次上报的CSI；一个半静态上报的CSI，是指在一定的时间段内，对一个CSI测量资源进行测量后周期性多次上报的CSI。因此，本申请中的一个CSI也可以理解为一组(a set of)CSI，在非周期性上报的情况下该一组CSI中包含一次上报的CSI，周期性上报或者半静态上报的情况下，该一组CSI中包含多次上报的CSI。
本申请中所述的“CSI的上报”和“CSI的反馈”可以互相替换，均是指UE向网络设备发送CSI的过程，此过程中还可以包括触发或者配置CSI上报的过程。
本申请中所述的“指示信息”可以包括不同层的信令或者信息。例如，可以包括层一(layer 1)，层二(layer 2)，或层3(layer 3)的信令或者信息。所述层一一般指物理层，层二一般指媒体接入控制(medium access control,MAC)层，层三一般指无线资源控制(radio resource control，RRC)层。例如，所述指示信息可以是物理层的DCI信息，或者是MAC层的MAC控制元素(MAC control element，MAC CE)，或者是RRC层的RRC信令。
本申请中所述的“载波”，对应于某一特定频段，例如中心频点为1.8GHz频段或中心频点为28GHz的频段。
本申请中所述的波束(beam)，是指由至少一个天线端口发射或接收无线信号时，形成的空间中有一定方向和形状的无线电波。可以通过对至少一个天线端口所发射或者接收的数据进行幅度和/或相位的加权来构成波束，也可以通过其他方法，例如调整天线单元的相关参数，来构成波束。所述波束，可以理解为一种空间资源，可以指具有能量传输指向性的发送或接收预编码向量或预编码矩阵，且该发送或接收预编码向量或预编码矩阵能够通过索引信息进行标识。所述能量传输指向性可以指在一定空间位置内，接收经过该预编码向量或预编码矩阵进行预编码处理后的信号具有较好的接收功率，如满足接收解调信噪比等，所述能量传输指向性也可以指通过该预编码向量或预编码矩阵接收来自不同空间位置发送的相同信号具有 不同的接收功率。同一无线通信设备(比如用户设备或网络设备)可以有不同的预编码向量或预编码矩阵，不同的设备也可以有不同的预编码向量或预编码矩阵，即对应不同的波束。一个无线通信设备在同一时刻可以使用多个不同的预编码向量或预编码矩阵中的一个或者多个，即同时可以形成一个或多个波束。
本申请所述的波束对(beam pair)包括发送端的发送波束和接收端的接收波束，或者，包括上行波束或下行波束。比如，波束对可以包括基站的发送波束和UE的接收波束，或者，UE的发送波束和基站的接收波束。
波束可以通过索引信息(例如，预编码向量的索引信息或者预编码矩阵的索引信息)进行标识。可选地，所述索引信息可以对应或者包含配置给UE的资源标识(identity，ID)，比如，所述索引信息可以是配置给UE的信道状态信息参考信号(Channel status information Reference Signal，CSI-RS)的ID或者资源，也可以是配置的上行探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal，SRS)的ID或者资源。或者，可选地，所述索引信息也可以是通过波束承载的信号或信道显示或隐式承载的索引信息，比如，所述索引信息可以是通过波束发送的同步信号或者广播信道指示该波束的索引信息。波束可以通过CSI-RS资源编号和/或发送或接收波束所使用的天线端口编号来标识；也可以使用波束对编号或者波束对索引来标识；还可以使用同步信号块时间索引(synchronization signal block time index，SS block time index)来标识。对于波束的具体指示或者标识方式，本申请不做限定。
本申请中所述的“天线端口(antenna port(s))”是为了区分不同的信道而定义的不同的逻辑端口，在某一个天线端口上所发送的符号所经过的信道可以根据在相同天线端口上发送的其他符号所经过的信道确定，例如数据接收端可以利用与发送数据所使用的相同的天线端口上发送的DM-RS(Demodulat ion-Reference Signal，解调参考信号)进行信道估计和数据解调。本申请中所述的“天线端口编号”用于指示具体的天线端口，例如天线端口号为7指示天线端口7。

在801部分，网络设备发送一条指示信息给用户设备，所述指示信息用于指示K个CSI的上报，其中，K≥2，所述K个CSI是用户设备在相同的载波上对测量资源进行测量获得的。

在802部分，所述用户设备在相同的载波上上报所述K个CSI。
可选的，所述K个CSI可以同时上报，也可以分时上报。
使用一条指示信息同时指示同一载波上的2个或者2个以上的CSI的上报，可以减少多个CSI分别触发造成的时延，从而使得网络设备可以更快的获得更多的CSI，以便根据更多的CSI进行协作和/或调度。进一步的，当所述K个CSI同时上报时，可以进一步缩短网络设备获取K个CSI所需要的时间，从而尽快根据更多的CSI进行协作和/或调度。
可选的，当所述K个CSI为非周期性上报的CSI或K个半静态上报的CSI时，所述指示信息用于触发所述K个CSI的上报。用户设备在接收到所述指示信息之后，便进行CSI的测量和上报。

可选的，所述CSI上报配置的索引信息，可以是CSI上报配置索引的取值信息，也可以是用于确定CSI上报配置索引的其他信息。例如，当需要指示的CSI上报配置与某一个CSI测量配置(CSI measurement setting)或者某一个链路配置(link setting)相关时，也可以通过指示CSI测量配置或者链路配置来指示CSI上报配置索引。用户设备获取了所述指示信息中的CSI测量配置或者链路配置信息后，会根据CSI测量配置或者链路配置信息确定该CSI测量配置或者链路配置中包含的CSI上报配置索引，从而确定CSI上报配置信息并完成CSI的测量和上报。
在另一个具体的设计中，所述指示信息中包含所述K个信道状态信息所属的CSI上报配置组的索引信息。所述CSI上报配置组，是指包含至少一个CSI上报配置的集合。CSI上报配置组的索引指示了具体的CSI上报配置组。网络设备可以预先通知UE具体的CSI上报配置的分组信息，然后在所述指示信息中指示UE上报哪些CSI上报配置组中的CSI。
例如，网络设备可以在高层信令(如，RRC信令)中配置CSI上报配置的分组，如，网络设备通过RRC信令配置了CSI上报配置集合1(CSI reporting setting set1)包括CSI上报配置1(CSI reporting setting1)和CSI上报配置2(CSI reporting setting2)，CSI上报配置集合2(CSI reporting setting set2)包括CSI上报配置1(CSI reporting setting1)和CSI上报配置3(CSI reporting setting3)，CSI上报配置集合3(CSI reporting setting set3)包括CSI上报配置2(CSI reporting setting2)和CSI上报配置3(CSI reporting setting3)。之后，网络设备通过所述指示信息(如，DCI)指示所述CSI上报配置集合的索引，从而触发上述集合中的至少一个集合中的CSI的上报。基于当前示例，表十给出了一种具体的信元设计，该信元“CSI request”包含在指示信息中，用于指示CSI上报配置集合。
表十

又如，网络设备通过RRC配置了CSI上报配置集合1(CSI reporting setting set1)包括CSI上报配置1(CSI reporting setting1)，CSI上报配置集合2(CSI reporting setting set2)包括CSI上报配置2(CSI reporting setting2)，CSI上报配置集合3(CSI reporting setting set3)包括CSI上报配置3(CSI reporting setting3)。之后，网络设备通过所述指示信息(如，DCI)触发上述集合中的至少一个集合中的CSI的上报。基于当前示例，表十 一给出了一种具体的信元设计，该信元“CSI request”包含在指示信息中，用于指示CSI上报配置集合。
表十一
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000026
可选的，CSI上报配置组的索引还可以通过其他信息指示给UE，例如，可以通过指示CSI测量配置或者链路配置的分组，来指示属于CSI测量配置组或者链路配置组的CSI上报配置。
例如，网络设备可以在高层信令(如，RRC信令)中配置CSI测量配置的分组，如，网络设备通过RRC信令配置了CSI测量配置集合1(CSI measurement setting set1)包括CSI测量配置1(CSI measurement setting1)和CSI测量配置2(CSI reporting setting2)，CSI测量配置集合2(CSI measurement setting set2)包括CSI测量配置1(CSI measurement setting1)和CSI测量配置3(CSI measurement setting3)，CSI测量配置集合3(CSI measurement setting set3)包括CSI测量配置2(CSI measurement setting2)和CSI测量配置3(CSI measurement setting3)。之后，网络设备通过所述指示信息(如，DCI)指示所述CSI测量配置集合的索引，从而触发上述集合中的至少一个集合中包含的CSI上报配置中的CSI的上报。基于当前示例，表十二给出了一种具体的信元设计，该信元“CSI request”包含在指示信息中，用于指示CSI测量配置集合。用户设备接收到所述指示信息后，可以根据指示确定当前配置的CSI测量配置集合，再根据所述CSI测量配置集合中包含的CSI测量配置索引确定CSI测量配置中所包含的CSI上报配置索引，进而获知需要上报的CSI上报配置信息。
表十二
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000027
在上述实施例中，指示信息中仅需包含CSI上报配置的索引信息，而无需包括具体的CSI上报配置信息，从而节省了信令开销。
当然，所述K个CSI的上报也可以同时使用上述两种方式进行指示，例如，一部分CSI上报使用CSI上报配置的索引信息指示，另外一部分CSI上报使用它们所属的CSI上报配置组的索引信息指示。
可选的，所述K个CSI上报的指示，还可以与现有技术中对其他类型CSI上报(如，载波聚合场景下的CSI上报)的指示联合进行。如，可以在所述指示信息中使用一个信元，利用该信元中不同的取值指示不同的CSI上报。表A给出了一个具体的信元设计方式举例，表A中‘10’和‘11’两个状态可以表示多个载波情况下触发一个CSI上报配置集合，即1个CSI上报配置集合中所包含的CSI上报可以在不同的CC上进行。‘01’状态表示了触发在一个载波上的1个CSI上报配置集合，即该CSI上报配置集合所包含的CSI上报是在同一个载波上的。
表A
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000028
可选的，当所述K个CSI为非周期性上报的CSI或K个半静态上报的CSI时，所述指示信息中包含T个CSI上报定时偏移的信息，所述T个CSI上报定时偏移用于所述K个CSI的上报，其中T为大于等于2的整数，所述CSI上报定时偏移是指CSI上报触发到CSI上报之间的时间间隔。可选的，所述CSI上报定时偏移可以以时隙为单位，也可以以其他时域资源单元为单位，本申请对此不作限定。当受限于容量或者资源时，虽然K个CSI在一条信令中被触发，但网络设备可以通过给所述K个CSI配置不同的CSI上报定时偏移来实现所述K个CSI的分时上报，此时虽然网络设备需要等待K个CSI的上报，但相比于分别触发所述K个CSI，仍然节省了一部分时间，减少了网络设备接收到全部K个CSI所需要的时间。图8b给出了对应此示例的CSI上报流程示意图。网络设备通过一条指示信息指示用户设备上报K个CSI(801部分)。用户设备接收到指示信息后，根据指示信息中所指示的需要上报的CSI，对CSI进行测量，并根据指示信息中所指示的CSI上报定时偏移值，在相同的载波上，在不同时刻分别上报所述K个CSI(8021至802K部分)。可选的，所述K个CSI可以对应K个不同的CSI上报定时偏移值，也可以对应少于K个不同的CSI上报定时偏移值，此时所述K个CSI上报中至少有两个CSI上报使用相同的CSI上报定时偏移值，即同时上报。
在一个具体的示例中，网络设备和用户设备可以预先约定CSI上报定时偏移值的分组，例如，通过高层信令(如RRC信令)预先配置具体的CSI上报定时偏移值的分组，然后在所述指示信息中指示用户设备当前需要使用具体哪一组CSI上报定时偏移值。例如，预先定义第一组CSI上报定时偏移值为{1,4}，第二组CSI上报定时偏移值为{2,4}，第三组CSI上报定时偏移值为{1,3}。基于当前的示例，表十三和表十四分别给出了两种指示所述CSI上报定时偏移值的具体信元设计方法，其中表十三为在指示信息中单独指示CSI上报定时偏移的取值，表十四位在指示信息中联合指示CSI上报配置组和CSI上报定时偏移取值。

表十四
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000029
可选的，对应不同的CSI上报定时偏移取值，网络设备还可以为用户设备配置多个用于上报CSI的时频域资源，例如，所述指示信息中还可以包含至少一个用于上报CSI的时频域资源配置信息。用户设备根据CSI上报定时偏移取值，在不同的时间使用不同的时频域资源分别上报所述K个CSI中的至少一个。
可选的，当所述K个CSI为周期性上报的CSI时，所述指示信息用于配置所述K个CSI的上报。用户设备在接收到所述指示信息之后，根据所述指示信息进行周期性的CSI上报。可选的，所述指示信息中包含所述K个信道状态信息上报配置的索引信息，上报周期信息和上报子帧偏移配置(subframe offset configuration)信息中的至少一个。可选的，所述K个周期性上报的CSI可以有相同或者不同的上报周期，也可以有相同或者不同的上报子帧偏移配置。当所述K个周期性上报的CSI均具有相同的上报周期和相同的上报子帧偏移配置时，则所述K个周期性上报的CSI在每次上报时都同时上报。
可选的，本申请实施例中的指示信息中还可以包括波束信息，所述波束信息用于指示上报所述K个信道状态信息所使用的波束，所述波束信息指示L个波束，所述L为大于等于1的整数，所述L个波束中的每个波束均用于上报所述K个信道状态信息。
当所述L为1时，用户设备使用配置的一个波束发送所述K个CSI。所述K个CSI可以是同时发送的，即使用配置的波束同时发送K个CSI；所述K个CSI也可以是分时发送的，即使用配置的一个波束，在不同时刻分别发送所述K个CSI。
当所述L大于等于2时，用户设备使用配置的至少两个波束发送所述K个CSI，此时每个波束都用于发送所述K个CSI。图9以L＝2为例，给出了用户设备使用两个波束发送K个CSI的场景示意图。在该示例中，UE40向网络设备22和网络设备24上报所述K个CSI，其中波束1指向网络设备22，波束2指向网络设备24，即UE40使用波束1将所述K个CSI上报给网络设备22，使用波束2将所述K个CSI上报给网络设备24。用户设备使用不同的波束上报所述K个CSI，可以实现向不同的网络设备上报多个CSI，且提高不同网络设备正确接收所述K个CSI的概率，多个网络设备均接受用户设备上报的多个CSI，可以减少网络设备之间进行信息传递的时间，例如，节省了CSI信息在网络设备之间传递所需要的时间，以便于更快的进行网络设备之间的协作和调度。可选的，所述接收用户设备上报K个CSI的多个网络设备中，可以包含服务网络设备和协作网络设备，也可以均为协作网络设备。本申请中，服务网络设备是指为用户设备提供高层连接(如RRC层连接)的网络设备，例如，UE在服务 网络设备提供的小区中进行初始连接建立过程，或开始连接重建立过程。协作网络设备是指为用户设备提供数据传输的非服务网络设备。可选的，本申请中所述的用于指示所述K个CSI上报的指示信息，可以由服务网络设备发送，也可以由协作网络设备提供。
可选的，所述波束信息可以是上行波束信息，例如，信道探测参考信号资源指示(sounding reference signal resource indication，SRI)，也可以是下行波束信息，如，CSI-RS资源指示(CSI-RS resource indication，CRI)，当所述波束信息为下行波束信息时，用户设备可以结合所指示的下行波束信息和波束对(beam pair)信息来确定所使用的上行波束。
在一个具体的示例中，网络设备和用户设备可以预先约定波束的分组，例如，通过高层信令(如RRC信令)预先配置具体的波束分组，然后在所述指示信息中指示用户设备当前需要使用具体哪一组波束。例如，以使用SRI指示波束为例，预先定义第一组SRI为{SRI1,SRI2}，第二组SRI为{SRI2,SRI3}，第三组SRI为{SRI1,SRI3}。基于当前的示例，表十五和表十六分别给出了两种指示波束组的具体信元设计，其中表十五为在指示信息中单独指示所使用的波束组，表十六位在指示信息中联合指示CSI上报配置组和所使用的波束组。

表十六
Figure PCTCN2018071634-appb-000030
可选的，使用不同的波束上报K个CSI的时候，对于每个波束的使用，与使用单个波束上报K个CSI时相同。在一个波束上上报的K个CSI可以分时上报，也可以同时上报，具体的实施方式如上文所述，不再赘述。例如，分时上报的情况下，可以在某一时刻，使用多个波束上报K个CSI中的某一个或多个，在另一个时刻，使用多个波束上报K个CSI中的其他一个或多个。
可选的，当使用每个波束上报的K个CSI都是同时上报的情况下，所述L个波束也可以使用相同或者不同的时域资源进行发送。
在一个具体的示例中，所述L个波束可以使用相同的时域资源，不同的频域资源进行发送。此时，L个波束使用不同的频域资源同时发送，每个波束中均包含K个CSI的上报。不同的频域资源的选择，可以根据需求进行设计，例如所有子载波号为偶数的子载波为一组频域资源，所有子载波号为奇数的子载波为另一组频域资源；再如，连续的x个子载波为一组频域资源。如图10a，示意了使用不同频域资源同时发送的两个波束。
在另一个具体的实例中，所述L个波束可以使用不同的时域资源进行发送，每个波束中均包含K个CSI的上报，每个波束所使用的频域资源可以相同也可以不同。不同的时域资源 使用方式和划分可以根据系统的具体需求进行设计，例如，以符号(symbol)为单位，所有符号号为奇数的符号为一组，用于发送一个波束，所有符号号为偶数的符号为一组，用于发送另一个波束，再如，连续的y个符号为一组，用于发送一个波束，每连续的y个符号之间还可以设置一定的符号或者时隙间隔。频域资源的使用可以参考上一个示例中的方案，此处不再赘述。如图10b和10c以两个波束为例，给出了两种使用不同时域资源发送不同波束的具体示例。其中图10b中，两个波束使用相同的频域资源在两块时域资源上进行发送。图10c示意出了一种使用两个波束轮流循环进行发送的情况，在第一组时域资源上，使用波束1上报K个SCI，在第二组时域资源上，使用波束2上报K个CSI，在第三组时域资源上再使用波束1上报K个SCI….，直到使用完系统配置的时域资源或者达到预设值的上报次数，或者满足系统设置的其他停止上报的条件。
需要说明的是，图10a至图10c中所示出的时域资源和频域资源可以根据系统的设计和需求进行单元的划分，例如，图10a至图10c中所示出的一个方格在时域上可以包含至少一个符号，也可以包含至少一个时隙(slot)，也可以包含至少一个比符号更小的时间单元，频域上可以包含至少一个子载波，等等。
可选的，所述L个波束具体使用何种发送方式，例如，是同时发送还是轮流循环发送，可以通过预定义或者缺省的方式确定，也可以通过信令(如RRC信令)进行动态或者半静态的指示。例如，如果系统默认缺省的多个波束发送方式是轮流循环发送，则用户设备接收到多个波束的指示信息时，就可以使用上述的轮流循环的方式利用多个波束上报K个CSI。
可选的，所述K个CSI在上报时可以使用联合编码。例如，以两个CSI为例，两个CSI中的RI联合编码，CQI联合编码，PMI联合编码(其中，第一个CSI中的PMI的第一PMI和第二个CSI中的PMI的第一PMI联合编码，第一个CSI中的PMI的第二PMI和第二个CSI中的PMI的第二PMI联合编码，或者，第一个CSI中的PMI的第一PMI第二PMI联合编码，第二个CSI中的PMI的第一PMI和第二PMI联合编码)。再如，第一个CSI中的RI，第一个CSI中的PMI的第一PMI，第二个CSI中的RI，第一个CSI中的PMI的第一PMI联合编码，两个CSI中的CQI联合编码，第一个CSI中的PMI的第二PMI和第二个CSI中的PMI的第二PMI联合编码。具体的联合编码方式可以根据系统的需求进行设计，本申请对此不作限制。
