具体实施方式
下面将参照附图来描述根据本发明实施例的由用户装置执行的波束反馈方法,以及相应的用户装置。在附图中,相同的参考标号自始至终表示相同的元件。显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明的一部分实施例,而不是本发明的全部实施例。应当理解:这里描述的实施例仅仅是说明性的,而不应被解释为限制本发明的范围,基于本发明中描述的实施例,本领域技术人员在没有付出创造性劳动的情况下所得到的所有其它实施例都应落入本发明的保护范围之内。
在根据本发明的实施例中,在进行波束信息反馈时,可以针对波束在宽带中的特征进行反馈,也可针对波束在子带中的特征进行反馈,其中,一个宽带可包括多个子带。在针对波束在宽带中的特征进行反馈时用户装置所发送的波束信息中所包含参数可与在针对波束在子带中的特征进行反馈时用户装置所发送的波束信息中所包含的参数至少部分不同。此外,在根据本发明的实施例中,功率不同的波束的反馈信息中包含的参数可以不同。
首先,参照图1描述根据本发明实施例的由用户装置执行的波束信息反馈方法。
图1示出由用户装置执行的波束信息反馈方法的流程图。如图1所示,在步骤S101中,根据波束选择结果,确定第一波束和多个第二波束。根据本发明的一个实施例,基站可以向用户装置发送关于多个波束的参考信号,并且用户装置可根据信道测量结果,从基站发送的波束中选择可用于该用户装置的所述第一波束和多个第二波束。根据本发明的另一实施例,第一波束可具有所选择的波束之中最高的波束功率,并且第二波束可以是用户装置所 选择的波束中除了第一波束以外的波束。
图2示出在步骤S101中从波束选择结果中确定第一波束和多个第二波束的一个示例。如图2所示,基站向用户装置发送的关于多个波束的参考信号,用户装置首先通过适当的波束选择方法(例如根据信道测量结果)从多个波束b1-b12之中选择出波束b1、b4、b8、b12,假设第一波束b1的波束功率等级(beam power level)为1,第二波束b4相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/2,波束b8相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/8,以及波束b12相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/4,则将波束b1确定为第一波束,将波束b4、b8、b12确定为第二波束。应理解,所述波束功率等级是预先定义的,并将所定义的波束功率等级相关联地存储于基站和用户装置中。
在步骤S102中,根据所述多个第二波束的波束功率,向基站发送所述多个第二波束的波束索引。根据本发明的一个实施例,波束索引可被包含于预编码矩阵指示(PMI)中。
接下来,结合图3A-3B描述根据本发明实施例的根据所述多个第二波束的波束功率,向基站发送所述多个第二波束的波束索引的示例。图3A示出该示例的流程图,如图3A所示,在步骤S102中可包含两个子步骤。具体地,在步骤S1021a中,根据波束功率确定所述多个第二波束的发送顺序。在步骤S1022a中,按照所确定的发送顺序向基站发送所述多个第二波束的波束索引。相应地,基站可根据波束索引的发送顺序获得关于其所指示的波束的波束功率的信息。例如,如前所述,假设第二波束b4、b8、b12的波束功率等级分别为1/2、1/4、1/8,则在步骤S1021a中按波束b4、b8、b12的顺序排列,并在步骤S1022a中发送所述波束的波束索引。图3B示出该示例的示意图,如图3B所示,按波束功率的降序将波束排列为b4、b8、b12的顺序,并且PMI-2、PMI-3、PMI-4分别为波束b4、b12、b8的波束索引,并向基站发送所排列的第二波束b4、b12、b8的波束索引PMI-2、PMI-3、PMI-4。应理解,上述排列的多个第二波束的波束索引也可以是按照其他顺序排列的,例如按照波束功率等级的升序排列,并且可以向基站发送所述升序排列的波束索引。
接下来,结合图4A-4B描述根据本发明实施例的根据所述多个第二波束的波束功率,向基站发送所述多个第二波束的波束索引的另一示例。图4A 示出该示例的流程图,如图4A所示,在步骤S102中可包含两个子步骤。具体地,在步骤S1021b,可根据波束功率,将多个第二波束分为第一波束组和第二波束组,其中第一波束组中的波束的波束功率比第二波束组中的波束的波束功率高。应理解,所述第一波束组以及第二波束组均可以包含一个或多个波束选择结果中的波束,并且在所选择的波束的数量较多的情况下,所分组的波束组的数量也可以不仅限于两个。在步骤S1022b,向基站发送根据第一波束组和第二波束组排列的波束索引。在一般情况下,在第一波束组和第二波束组内部可不需要根据波束功率对波束索引进行排序。可替代地,也可以对第一波束组或第二波束组中包含的多个波束的波束索引进行排列,例如,如上所述根据波数功率进行排列,并向基站发送所排列的波束索引。相应地,基站可根据第一波束组和/或第二波束组中包含的波束的数量以及波束索引的发送顺序获得关于其所指示的波束的波束功率的信息。例如,如前所述,假设第二波束b4、b8、b12的波束功率等级分别为1/2、1/4、1/8。则在步骤S1021b中,可以将第二波束b4分为第一波束组,以及将第二波束b8、b12分为第二波束组,并在S1022b中向基站发送根据第一波束组和第二波束组排列的波束索引。图4B示出该示例的示意图,如图4B所示,将第二波束b4分为第一波束组,以及将第二波束b8、b12分为第二波束组,PMI-2为第一波束组中波束b4的波束索引,以及PMI-3、PMI-4为第二波束组中波束b8、b12的波束索引,其中第二波束组中的波束b8、b12可以不进行排序。并按第一波束组、第二波束组排列的顺序,向基站发送对应的波束索引PMI-2、PMI-3、PMI-4。如上所述,可替代地,在步骤S1021a中,也可以将b4、b12分为第一波束组,以及将第二波束b8分为第二波束组,则PMI-2、PMI-3为第一波束组中波束b4、b12的波束索引,以及PMI-4为第二波束组中波束b8的波束索引。并在在步骤S1022a中向基站发送根据第一波束组和第二波束组排列的波束索引。
在步骤S103中,与所述多个第二波束的波束索引对应地发送宽带波束信息。以及,在步骤S104中,与所述多个第二波束的波束索引对应地发送子带波束信息。已知信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型I可以向基站发送第一信道状态信息,所述第一信道状态信息可以包括信道状态反馈类型指示(CTI)、秩(RI)、预编码矩阵指示符(PMI)以及信道质量指示(CQI),以及波束 信息等;并且信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II可以向基站发送第二信道状态信息,所述第二信道状态信息可以包括波束数量信息(例如可以是如上所述的优势波束数量信息)、PMI,以及波束信息等。根据本发明的一个实施例,所述波束信息可以包含宽带波束信息和子带波束信息,所述宽带波束信息可以包含宽带幅度信息,所述子带波束信息可以包含子带幅度信息、子带相位信息以及子带正交相位(co-phase)信息。所述PMI可以包含波束索引。
由此可见,所述第一信道状态信息以及所述第二信道状态信息均可包含波束信息和PMI。因此,用户装置可以通过使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型I和/或信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II来与所述多个第二波束的波束索引对应地发送宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息。应理解,上述宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息可以是周期性地,也可以是非周期性地向基站发送。
接下来,将结合图5描述本发明发送波束信息的示例。图5示出了通过使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型I和信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II共同来反馈波束信息的示例,即以差分方式来发送所述波束信息。根据本发明的一个实施例,如图5所示,用户装置使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型I反馈所述第一波束的波束索引和子带波束信息,以及使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II反馈所述第二波束的波束索引、宽带波束信息和子带波束信息。
接下来,将结合图6描述本发明发送波束信息反馈的另一示例。图6示出了仅通过信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II来反馈波束信息的示例。根据本发明的另一实施例,用户装置仅使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II发送所述第一波束的波束索引、和子带带波束信息,以及所述多个第二波束的波束索引、宽带波束信息和子带带波束信息。具体地,如图6所示,用户装置将所有要进行反馈的波束的宽带幅度信息、子带幅度信息、子带相位信息以及子带正交相位信息使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II来向基站进行反馈。
根据本发明的一个实施例,对于多个第二波束中具有不同波束功率的波束,可以对所述第二波束的宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息分配不同的比特(bit)。换言之,对于具有较强波束功率的优势波束和具有较弱波束功率的弱波束来说,其用于反馈所述波束信息的信令开销是不同的,以这种方式,能够有效节省信令开销。为此,需要确定第二波束中的优势波束的数量以适当地分配所需要的比特数。
接下来,将结合图7描述本发明确定多个第二波束中优势波束的方法的示例。图7示出了通过发送所述多个第二波束中优势波束的数量来向基站反馈波束信息的示例,其中优势波束的波束功率比第二波束组中的其他波束的波束功率高。
根据本发明的一个实施例,如图7所示,在步骤S103、S104中,除发送与多个第二波束的波束索引对应地发送宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息以外,还发送一种新的反馈类型为优势波束数量信息K,所述优势波束数量信息K指示所述多个第二波束中优势波束的数量。换言之,通过随要反馈的波束信息一起直接将优势波束数量信息K也反馈至基站,使得基站能够知道除第一波束以外,在所述第二波束中存在K个强波束将要被反馈,相应地,其余的第二波束则被认为是作为弱波束反馈的。以这种方式,在如前所述的已确定所述多个第二波束的发送顺序的情况下,结合优势波束数量信息K,基站能够知道具体哪些波束为优势波束(即强波束),那些波束为弱波束。例如,在图7所示的示例中,所述第二波束的发送顺序如图3B所示,并且要发送的优势波束数量信息K为1,即向基站反馈所述多个第二波束中优势波束的数量为1个,则波束b4为第二波束中的优势波束,相应地,b8、b12为第二波束中的弱波束。
根据本发明的一个实施例,在未确定所述多个第二波束的发送顺序的情况下,可以预先确定波束功率阈值,并将所述波束功率阈值与所述多个第二波束的功率比较,以确定在所述多个第二波束中的优势波束,其中优势波束的波束功率比第二波束组中的其他波束的波束功率高。以这种方式,可以将所述多个第二波束分为第一波束组和第二波束组。例如,预先设置波束功率阈值为1/2,将多个第二波束与所设置的功率阈值进行比较,如果所述第二波束大于或等于所述功率阈值,则所述第二波束为优势波束,即强波束。相反地,如果所述第二波束小于所述功率阈值,则所述第二波束为弱波束。在该示例中,假设如前所述,所选择的第一波束b1的功率等级为1,第二波束b4相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/2,波束b8相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/8,以及波束b12相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/4,则波束b4为第二波束中的优势波束,b8、b12位第二波束中的弱波束。随后,在步骤S102中向基站发送根据所述第一波束组和所述第二波束组排 列的波束索引,并在步骤S103、S104中分别发送与所述多个第二波束的波束索引对应的宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息。
根据本发明的一个实施例,在确定了优势波束和弱波束各自的数量后,还需要确定对于所述各个优势波束和弱波束的宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息所需要的比特(bit)数,从而可以对波束信息进行适当的调节。
如前所述,已确定了具有最高波束功率的第一波束b1,以及多个第二波束b4、b8、b12,并假设第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1,第二波束b4相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/2,波束b8相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/4,以及波束b12相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/8。应理解,所述波束功率等级是预先定义的,并将所定义的波束功率等级相关联地存储于基站和用户装置中。
图8示出确定第二波束中各个波束的波束信息所需要的比特数的示例。根据本发明的一个实施例,可以对多个第二波束的宽带波束幅度信息分配相同的比特数,例如,如图8所示,对第二波束b4、b8、b12的宽带波束幅度信息均分配3个比特来指示所述波束的波束功率为预先定义的8个等级中的其中之一。此外,可以对多个第二波束的子带波束信息分配不同的比特数。例如,对多个第二波束的子带波束幅度信息分配不同的比特数。具体地,如上所述,通过如上所述束的方法确定b4为第二波束中的优势波束,相应地,b8、b12为第二波束中的弱波束,在这种情况下,如图8所示,可以仅对第二波束中的优势波束b4的子带幅度信息分配1个比特以对其宽带幅度信息进行调整,而不对波束b8、b12的子带幅度信息分配比特。
图9A-9B示出确定第二波束中各个波束的波束信息所需要的比特数的另一示例。根据本发明的另一实施例,可以对多个第二波束的宽带波束幅度信息分配不同的比特数。如前所述,已确定b4为第二波束中的优势波束,相应地,b8、b12为第二波束中的弱波束。在这种情况下,例如,对优势波束b4分配3个比特,而波束b8的波束功率仅可能小于或等于优势波束b4的波束功率,显然波束b8的波束功率等级的取值范围较小,因此波束b8相比于波束b4需要较少的比特数来指示可用的波束功率等级,类似地,波束b12的波束功率等级的取值范围更小,因此对波束b12需要更少的比特数来指示可用的波束功率等级。具体地,如图9A所示,在确定波束b4的宽带波 束幅度信息所需要3个比特的情况下,则确定波束b8的宽带波束幅度信息所需要2个比特,确定波束b12的宽带波束幅度信息所需要2个或1个比特。以这种方式,能够节省信令的开销,并有效地反馈所述波束的宽带幅度信息。
可替代地,根据本发明的另一实施例,所述波束功率等级可以通过与前一个较强波束功率等级的比值的形式来表示。图9B示出确定第二波束中各个波束的波束信息所需要的比特数的另一示例。如前所述,已确定b4为第二波束中的优势波束,相应地,b8、b12为第二波束中的弱波束。类似地,由于b4、b8、b12的波束功率等级的取值范围递减,如图9B所示,可对优势波束b4分配3个比特以指示波束b4与第一波束b1的比值,对需要较少的比特数的波束b8分配2个比特以指示波束b8与优势波束b4的比值,对需要更少的比特数的波束b12分配2个或1个比特以指示波束b12与优势波束b8的比值。
下面,参照图10来描述根据本发明实施例的用户装置。图10示出了根据本发明实施例的用户装置1000的配置图。如图10所示,用户装置1000包括:确定单元1010,配置为根据波束选择结果,确定第一波束和多个第二波束;以及发送单元1020,配置为根据所述多个第二波束的波束功率,向基站发送所述多个第二波束的波束索引。应理解,除了上述单元以外,用户装置1000还可以包括其他部件,然而,由于这些部件与本发明实施例的内容无关,因此在这里省略其图示和描述。此外,由于根据本发明实施例的用户装置1000执行的下述操作的具体细节与在上文中描述波束反馈方法的细节相同,因此在这里为了避免重复而省略对相同细节的重复描述。
根据本发明的一个实施例,基站可以向用户装置发送关于多个波束的参考信号,确定单元1010可根据信道测量结果,从基站发送的波束中确定可用于该用户装置的所述第一波束和多个第二波束。根据本发明的另一实施例,第一波束可具有所选择的波束之中最高的波束功率,并且第二波束可以是用户装置所选择的波束中除了第一波束以外的波束。
根据本发明的另一实施例,所述发送单元1020可根据波束功率确定所述多个第二波束的发送顺序,并按照所确定的发送顺序向基站发送所述多个第二波束的波束索引。相应地,基站可根据波束索引的发送顺序获得关于其所指示的波束的波束功率的信息。
具体地,如前所述,已确定了具有最高波束功率的第一波束b1,以及多个第二波束b4、b8、b12,并进一步假设第一波束b1的波束功率等级(beam power level)为1,第二波束b4相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/2,波束b8相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/8,以及波束b12相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/4。
根据本发明的一个实施例,发送单元1020以波束功率大小的降序排列所述多个第二波束的波束索引,则PMI-2、PMI-3、PMI-4分别为波束b4、b12、b8的波束索引,并向基站发送所排列的第二波束b4、b12、b8的波束索引PMI-2、PMI-3、PMI-4。应理解,上述排列的多个第二波束的波束索引也可以是按照其他顺序排列的,例如按照波束功率等级的升序排列,并且可以向基站发送所述升序排列的波束索引。
根据本发明的另一实施例,所述用户装置1000还可以包括分组单元1030,配置为根据波束功率,将多个第二波束分为第一波束组和第二波束组,其中第一波束组中的波束的波束功率比第二波束组中的波束的波束功率高;以及发送单元1020向基站发送根据第一波束组和第二波束组排列的波束索引。应理解,所述第一波束组以及第二波束组均可以包含一个或多个波束选择结果中的波束,并且在所选择的波束的数量较多的情况下,所分组的波束组的数量也可以不仅限于两个。在一般情况下,在第一波束组和第二波束组内部可不需要根据波束功率对波束索引进行排序。可替代地,分组单元1030也可以对第一波束组或第二波束组中包含的多个波束的波束索引进行排列,例如,如上所述根据波数功率进行排列,以及发送单元1020向基站发送所排列的波束索引。相应地,基站可根据第一波束组和/或第二波束组中包含的波束的数量以及波束索引的发送顺序获得关于其所指示的波束的波束功率的信息。
根据本发明的另一实施例,发送单元1020与所述多个第二波束的波束索引对应地发送宽带波束信息;以及与所述多个第二波束的波束索引对应地发送子带波束信息。已知信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型I可以向基站发送第一信道状态信息,所述第一信道状态信息可以包括信道状态反馈类型指示(CTI)、秩(RI)、预编码矩阵指示符(PMI)以及信道质量指示(CQI),以及波束信息等;并且信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II可以向基站发送第二 信道状态信息,所述第二信道状态信息可以包括波束数量信息(例如可以是如上所述的优势波束数量信息)、PMI,以及波束信息等。根据本发明的一个实施例,所述波束信息可以包含宽带波束信息和子带波束信息,所述宽带波束信息可以包含宽带幅度信息,所述子带波束信息可以包含子带幅度信息、子带相位信息以及子带正交相位(co-phase)信息。所述PMI可以包含波束索引。
由此可见,所述第一信道状态信息以及所述第二信道状态信息均可包含波束信息和PMI。因此,发送单元1020可以通过使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型I和/或信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II来与所述多个第二波束的波束索引对应地发送宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息。应理解,上述宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息可以由发送单元1020周期性地,也可以是非周期性地向基站发送。
根据本发明的一个实施例,发送单元1020可以通过使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型I和信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II共同来反馈波束信息的示例,即以差分方式来发送所述波束信息。例如,发送单元1020可以使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型I反馈所述第一波束的宽带幅度信息,以及使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II反馈所述第二波束的子带幅度信息、子带相位信息以及子带正交相位信息。
根据本发明的另一实施例,发送单元1020可以仅使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II发送所述第一波束的波束索引、和子带带波束信息,以及所述多个第二波束的波束索引、宽带波束信息和子带带波束信息。具体地,发送单元1020将所有要进行反馈的波束的宽带幅度信息、子带幅度信息、子带相位信息以及子带正交相位信息使用信道状态指示(CSI)反馈类型II来向基站进行反馈。
根据本发明的一个实施例,对于多个第二波束中具有不同波束功率的波束,可以对所述第二波束的宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息分配不同的比特(bit)。换言之,对于具有较强波束功率的优势波束和具有较弱波束功率的弱波束来说,其用于反馈所述波束信息的信令开销是不同的,以这种方式,能够有效节省信令开销。为此,需要确定第二波束中的优势波束的数量以适当地分配所需要的比特数。
根据本发明的一个实施例,发送单元1020除发送与多个第二波束的波束索引对应地发送宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息以外,还发送一种新的反馈类型为优势波束数量信息K,所述优势波束数量信息K指示所述多个第二波束中优势波束的数量。换言之,通过随要反馈的波束信息一起直接将优势波束数量信息K也反馈至基站,使得基站能够知道除第一波束以外,在所述第二波束中存在K个强波束将要被反馈,相应地,其余的第二波束则被认为是作为弱波束反馈的。以这种方式,在如前所述的已确定所述多个第二波束的发送顺序的情况下,结合优势波束数量信息K,基站能够知道具体哪些波束为优势波束(即强波束),那些波束为弱波束。
根据本发明的一个实施例,所述用户装置1000还包括阈值设定单元1040,其配置为在未确定所述多个第二波束的发送顺序的情况下,可以预先确定波束功率阈值,并将所述波束功率阈值与所述多个第二波束的功率比较,以确定在所述多个第二波束中的优势波束,其中优势波束的波束功率比第二波束组中的其他波束的波束功率高。以这种方式,可以将所述多个第二波束分为第一波束组和第二波束组。例如,预先设置波束功率阈值为1/2,将多个第二波束与所设置的功率阈值进行比较,如果所述第二波束大于或等于所述功率阈值,则所述第二波束为优势波束,即强波束。相反地,如果所述第二波束小于所述功率阈值,则所述第二波束为弱波束。在该示例中,假设如前所述,所选择的第一波束b1的功率等级为1,第二波束b4相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/2,波束b8相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/8,以及波束b12相对于第一波束b1的波束功率等级为1/4,则波束b4为第二波束中的优势波束,b8、b12位第二波束中的弱波束。随后,在步骤S102中向基站发送根据所述第一波束组和所述第二波束组排列的波束索引,并在步骤S103、S104中分别发送与所述多个第二波束的波束索引对应的宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息。
根据本发明的一个实施例,在确定了优势波束和弱波束各自的数量后,还需要确定对于所述各个优势波束和弱波束的宽带波束信息以及子带波束信息所需要的比特(bit)数,从而可以对波束信息进行适当的调节。
根据本发明的一个实施例,用户装置1000还包括比特分配单元1050,配置为对多个第二波束的宽带波束幅度信息分配相同的比特数,例如,对第 二波束b4、b8、b12的宽带波束幅度信息均分配3个比特来指示所述波束的波束功率为预先定义的8个等级中的其中之一。此外,可以对多个第二波束的子带波束信息分配不同的比特数。例如,对多个第二波束的子带波束幅度信息分配不同的比特数。具体地,如上所述,通过如上所述束的方法确定b4为第二波束中的优势波束,相应地,b8、b12为第二波束中的弱波束,在这种情况下,可以仅对第二波束中的优势波束b4的子带幅度信息分配1个比特以对其宽带幅度信息进行调整,而不对波束b8、b12的子带幅度信息分配比特。
根据本发明的另一实施例,比特分配单元1050还可以对多个第二波束的宽带波束幅度信息分配不同的比特数。如前所述,已确定b4为第二波束中的优势波束,相应地,b8、b12为第二波束中的弱波束。在这种情况下,例如,对优势波束b4分配3个比特,而波束b8的波束功率仅可能小于或等于优势波束b4的波束功率,显然波束b8的波束功率等级的取值范围较小,因此波束b8相比于波束b4需要较少的比特数来指示可用的波束功率等级,类似地,波束b12的波束功率等级的取值范围更小,因此对波束b12需要更少的比特数来指示可用的波束功率等级。具体地,例如,在确定波束b4的宽带波束幅度信息所需要3个比特的情况下,则确定波束b8的宽带波束幅度信息所需要2个比特,确定波束b12的宽带波束幅度信息所需要2个或1个比特。以这种方式,能够节省信令的开销,并有效地反馈所述波束的宽带幅度信息。
可替代地,根据本发明的另一实施例,所述波束功率等级可以通过与前一个较强波束功率等级的比值的形式来表示。如前所述,已确定b4为第二波束中的优势波束,相应地,b8、b12为第二波束中的弱波束。类似地,由于b4、b8、b12的波束功率等级的取值范围递减,如图9B所示,比特分配单元1050可对优势波束b4分配3个比特以指示波束b4与第一波束b1的比值,对需要较少的比特数的波束b8分配2个比特以指示波束b8与优势波束b4的比值,对需要更少的比特数的波束b12分配2个或1个比特以指示波束b12与优势波束b8的比值。
