In another case, if the URLLC service is scheduled to report a non-periodic channel state information and then scheduled, it is difficult to meet the requirement of ultra-low latency.

The method of the embodiment of the present application is described below. Figure 4 illustrates an interaction diagram of a method of one embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, the method includes the following steps. It should be noted that the broken line in FIG. 4 indicates that the corresponding step is an optional step. Moreover, the various steps in FIG. 4 may be performed in a different order than that presented in FIG. 4, and it is possible that not all operations in FIG. 4 are to be performed. It should also be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, “first”, “second” and “third” are only used to distinguish different objects, for example, different modulation and coding schemes, different time-frequency resources, and different The data and the like should not constitute any limitation on this application.

Step 401: The terminal device receives control information sent by the network device, where the control information indicates a first time-frequency resource, where the first time-frequency resource includes a second time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal, and includes a bearer. The third time-frequency resource of a block of information.

Specifically, the control information in step 401 may be physical layer control information. The control information may be carried in the first downlink control channel, where the control channel may be a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or other downlink channel for carrying physical layer control information, and the present application does not. limited.

Optionally, the control information is further used to indicate that the terminal device performs channel measurement on the channel corresponding to the first time-frequency resource, and reports the channel measurement result to the network device.

Optionally, the control information may further indicate, to the terminal device, a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), a transmission mode, and the like used by the current transmission of the first information block. The transmission mode may include the number of layers used to transmit the first information block, the precoding matrix used to transmit the first information block, the lobes used to transmit the first information block, and the like. The control information may indicate the MCS, the transmission mode, and the like in an explicit manner, for example, including corresponding fields in the control information to indicate corresponding information. The control information may also indicate the transmission parameters in an implicit manner. For example, the format of the control information is not limited in this application. Specifically, the control information indicates to the terminal device an index of the MCS candidate scheme used by the network device to schedule the terminal device to transmit, which is hereinafter referred to as the MCS index used for scheduling.

The first time-frequency resource in the step 401 includes a third time-frequency resource that carries the first information block, and the first time-frequency resource further includes a second time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal. The first time-frequency resource may be a reference resource for interference measurement, or may include a reference resource for interference measurement, or may be part of a reference resource of the interference measurement, the size of the reference resource of the interference measurement and the time-frequency domain. The location may be indicated by the network device to the terminal device or may be predefined by the communication standard specification.

Specifically, the second time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal in the step 401 is that the network device does not carry any signal on the second time-frequency resource when transmitting the signal to the terminal device, for example, the zero-power reference signal may be specifically Zero Power Channel State Information-Reference Signal (ZP-CSI-RS) or Channel-State Information-Interference Measurement. In other words, the second time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal means that no signal is sent on the second time-frequency resource, and the terminal device can measure, by the second time-frequency resource, the network device to send the same. The energy of the signal other than the signal on the second time-frequency resource, and thus the interference energy. The terminal device measures interference using the received signal on the second time-frequency resource. Specifically, when the terminal device only receives the signal from the network device on the first time-frequency resource, the terminal device may determine, as the interference signal, the signal received on the second time-frequency resource, and use the interference signal energy as Interference energy. When the terminal device receives the second signal from the second transmitting device on the first time-frequency resource and receives the signal from the network device, the terminal device may divide the signal received on the second time-frequency resource. A signal other than the two signals is determined as an interference signal, and the energy of the interference signal is used as interference energy. It should be understood that the above interference signal may include a noise signal.

The sum of the second time-frequency resource and the third time-frequency resource is a true subset of the first time-frequency resource, or the sum of the second time-frequency resource and the third time-frequency resource is the first time-frequency resource.

The following describes in detail how the control information indicates the first time-frequency resource.

Specifically, the control information may indicate the location of the first time-frequency resource in an explicit manner, or may indicate the location of the first time-frequency resource in an implicit manner.

Specifically, the control information indicates a frequency domain location of the first time-frequency resource of the terminal device, and the terminal device can determine the frequency domain location of the first time-frequency resource according to the control information, and the terminal device can further perform the predefined rule and the control information. Determine the time domain location of the first time-frequency resource.

For example, the predefined rule may be that the time domain location of the first time-frequency resource is a time domain unit where the control information is located; and, for example, the control information directly indicates a time domain location of the first time-frequency resource of the terminal device. The frequency domain location, therefore, the terminal device determines the location of the first time-frequency resource according to the control information.

The following describes in detail how the control information indicates the third time-frequency resource in the first time-frequency resource.

Further, the control information may be used to indicate that the terminal device receives the first information block on the first time-frequency resource, where the first time-frequency resource includes a third time-frequency resource for carrying the first information block, and the terminal device may The other related information and/or the communication protocol specification pre-defined rules determine the third time-frequency resource in the first time-frequency resource, wherein the other related information may be location information of the reference signal carried in the first time-frequency resource, and the like.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, the first time-frequency resource includes a third time-frequency resource and a second time-frequency resource, and the first time-frequency resource and the third time-frequency resource are included. The third time-frequency resource is used to transmit the first information block, and the second time-frequency resource is the time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal; FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. The first time-frequency resource includes a second time-frequency resource and a third time-frequency resource.

Further, when the first time-frequency resource further includes a time-frequency resource other than the third time-frequency resource, the manner of determining the other time-frequency resource is similar to the foregoing second time-frequency resource, which is not limited in this application. For example, the other time-frequency resources may be time-frequency resources for transmitting a control channel. In this case, when the terminal device determines the third time-frequency resource in the first time-frequency resource according to the rule defined by the other related information and/or the communication protocol specification, the other related information may further include the first time-frequency resource. Location information of the control channel carried in the medium, and the like.

Optionally, the first time-frequency resource may refer to a reference resource for performing interference measurement, where the control information indicates that the terminal device performs interference measurement on the reference resource by using a second time-frequency resource measurement, and the reference resource and the third The time-frequency resource has a corresponding relationship. Specifically, the reference resource includes a three-time frequency resource.

Specifically, the control information may indicate the location of the reference resource in an explicit manner, or may indicate the location of the reference resource in an implicit manner.

Specifically, the control information indicates that the terminal device refers to the frequency domain location of the resource, and the terminal device can determine the frequency domain location of the reference resource according to the control information, and the terminal device can further determine the time domain of the reference resource according to the predefined rule and the control information. position.

For example, the predefined rule may be that the time domain location of the reference resource is a time domain unit where the control information is located; for example, the control information directly indicates the time domain location and the frequency domain location of the reference device reference resource, and therefore, The terminal device determines the location of the reference resource according to the control information. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 7, the first time-frequency resource includes a second time-frequency resource and a third time-frequency resource, and the first time-frequency resource occupies a frequency range greater than The frequency domain of the three-time frequency resources.

Step 404: The terminal device determines, according to the control information, the second time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal included in the first time-frequency resource.

In other words, the second time-frequency resource and the first time-frequency resource have a corresponding relationship, and the time-frequency resource occupied by the zero-power reference signal has a certain correspondence with the time-frequency resource used for transmitting the first information block; Alternatively, the time-frequency resource occupied by the zero-power reference signal has a corresponding relationship with the reference resource for performing interference measurement and the time-frequency resource for transmitting the first information block. In other words, the time-frequency resource for transmitting the first information block and the time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal for measuring interference have a corresponding relationship.

The channel state information corresponding to the first time-frequency resource refers to channel state information based on the second time-frequency resource measurement, where the channel state information measured based on the second time-frequency resource includes a channel measured only according to the second time-frequency resource. The status information includes or includes channel state information measured according to the second time-frequency resource and other time-frequency resources in the first time-frequency resource.

The following describes in detail how the control information indicates the second time-frequency resource in the first time-frequency resource.

In a first implementation, the control information is used to indicate whether the second time-frequency resource is included in the first time-frequency resource, and the specific location of the second time-frequency resource in the first time-frequency resource may be agreed by the communication standard specification. After receiving the control information, the terminal device determines the location of the second time-frequency resource according to the communication standard specification; or the network device indicates the location of the second time-frequency resource to the terminal device by using the high-layer signaling, where the control information is used to indicate the first Whether the second time-frequency resource is included in the time-frequency resource, and the terminal device determines the location of the second time-frequency resource according to the indication of the high-level signaling after receiving the control information; or the network device indicates the second time to the terminal device by using the high-layer signaling A part of the location information of the frequency resource, the control information is further used to indicate another part of the location information of the second time-frequency resource included in the first time-frequency resource, and the terminal device determines the location of the second time-frequency resource according to the high-level signaling and the control information.

Specifically, the network device indicates that the second time-frequency resource is included in the first time-frequency resource by using high-layer signaling, such as radio resource control (RRC) signaling or media access control (MAC) signaling. . For example, the high-level signaling carries indication information, where the indication information indicates that when the transmission of one information block is scheduled by the control information, the first time-frequency resource corresponding to the third time-frequency resource carrying the information block includes the second Time-frequency resources. The format of the control information is X (Format X).

That is to say, the network device enables or activates the terminal device to report the channel state information through the high layer signaling.

In another implementation manner, the network device may explicitly use the control information to indicate, to the terminal device, the second time-frequency resource included in the first time-frequency resource, where the control information includes a field, where the field is at least used. Instructing the terminal device to include the second time-frequency resource in the first time-frequency resource. The network device may implicitly use the control information to indicate to the terminal device that the second time-frequency resource is included in the first time-frequency resource, and the control information includes a field, where the field is at least used to indicate that the terminal device needs to report the first time. The channel state information corresponding to the frequency resource, and the second time-frequency resource used to obtain the channel state information is included in the first time-frequency resource.

That is to say, when the network device sends the first information block, it simultaneously sends a zero power reference signal on the second time-frequency resource. It should be understood that transmitting the zero-power reference signal on the second time-frequency resource refers to vacating the second time-frequency resource, or the network device does not use the second time-frequency resource to carry any transmission signal, or the network device is transmitting. When the signal is received, the signal power corresponding to the second time-frequency resource is set to zero.

Further, the control information is further used to instruct the terminal device to perform interference measurement according to the second time-frequency resource. Specifically, the terminal device uses the second time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal to measure the interference and obtain the interference measurement result.

Step 405: The terminal device acquires channel state information corresponding to the first time-frequency resource according to the interference measurement result.

Specifically, the terminal device may determine the channel state information corresponding to the first time-frequency resource according to the interference measurement result, and determine the channel state information corresponding to the first time-frequency resource according to the interference measurement result and the channel measurement result.

It should be understood that the foregoing channel state information may be the energy of the interference signal, the channel quality indication, the network device scheduling data transmission using the MCS index, the CQI index, the CQI index difference, and the network device scheduling data transmission using the MCS index difference. At least one of a size or bandwidth of a frequency domain resource, a precoding matrix indication, a rank indication, or a transmission repetition number.

For example, the channel state information can be the energy of the interfering signal. The terminal device may determine an absolute value (for example, a power value) of the interference energy according to the interference measurement result, and determine an absolute value of the interference energy as channel state information corresponding to the first time-frequency resource; the terminal device may also determine the interference energy according to the interference measurement result. And determining the received signal energy according to the channel measurement result, and using the received signal energy as a reference, the relative value of the interference energy relative to the received signal energy (for example, a dB value) is used as the channel state information.

In yet another example, the channel state information may be a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI). The terminal device may determine, according to the interference measurement result and the channel measurement result, a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) that satisfies (or can reach) a target block error rate (BLER) of the first information block, and The index of the target MCS with the largest index is selected in the MCS that satisfies the condition, or the index of the target MCS with the highest code rate is selected from the MCS that satisfies the condition, or the index of the target MCS with the highest efficiency is selected from the MCS that satisfies the condition, The index of the target MCS is determined as the CQI corresponding to the first time-frequency resource. The above one modulation coding scheme is a scheme including a modulation scheme and an encoding scheme. Specifically, the foregoing coding scheme may be a modulation code pre-defined by a communication protocol specification and a coding rate, and the foregoing The modulation coding scheme corresponds to an efficiency value equal to the order of its corresponding modulation mode multiplied by its corresponding coding rate.

It should be understood that the above target error rate may be indicated by the network device to the terminal device, for example by higher layer signaling, or predefined by a communication standard specification.

Therefore, the index of the MCS may be an index of the network device scheduling data transmission using the MCS, or an index of the MCS candidate scheme (hereinafter referred to as the MCS used for CQI reporting) included in the terminal device reporting the channel state information, that is, the CQI index.

In another example, the channel state information may be a difference of a CQI index, which may be simply referred to as a Delta CQI. After determining the CQI index according to the foregoing method, the terminal device determines, according to the CQI index determined by the current channel state, a difference between the CQI index determined by the terminal device according to the channel state of the previous data transmission, and the channel state information corresponding to the first time-frequency resource. . The previous channel state information report may be reported in the previous period that is closest to the current channel state information reporting time, or the previous aperiodic report in which the time is closest. The aperiodic report may be triggered by the network device, or may be reported by the terminal device.

In another example, the channel state information may be a difference of an MCS index, which may be simply referred to as a Delta MCS. The terminal device may determine, according to the interference measurement result and the channel measurement result, the MCS that satisfies the target block error rate of the first information block, and select the target MCS index with the largest MCS index from the MCS that satisfies the condition, and then the maximum target MCS index is The difference of the MCS index indicated by the control information is determined as channel state information corresponding to the first time-frequency resource.

In another example, the channel state information may be the size or bandwidth of a frequency domain resource. The terminal device may determine, according to the interference measurement result and the channel measurement result, the bandwidth of the time-frequency resource that is required by the MCS that meets the target error block rate of the first information block and that is indicated by the control information, and uses the bandwidth information of the bandwidth as the first The channel state information corresponding to the time-frequency resource, where the bandwidth is the size of the frequency domain range occupied by the time-frequency resource (for example, the number of resource blocks or the number of resource block groups). When the terminal device determines the bandwidth of the time-frequency resource, it is assumed that the time domain size occupied by the time-frequency resource is the same as the time domain size occupied by the third time-frequency resource, or the time occupied by the time-frequency resource The domain size is pre-agreed by the communication standard specification.

In addition, the channel state information may also be a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), or a Rank Indicator (RI), or a transmission repetition number that can satisfy the target BLER.

Step 406: The terminal device sends the channel state information to a network device.

Specifically, when the first time-frequency resource is a time-frequency resource on the nkth time domain unit, the terminal device may be in a predefined time domain unit or a time domain unit specified by the network device (for example, the nth time domain) Transmitting, by the unit, the measured channel state information to the network device, where the nk time domain unit is the nkth downlink time domain unit when the network device and the terminal device work in the FDD system, The nth time domain unit is the nth uplink time domain unit. When the network device and the terminal device work in the TDD system, the nk time domain unit can be used to carry a downlink signal, the nth The time domain unit can be used to carry the uplink signal, n is an integer, and k is a natural number.

Optionally, before step 404, in step 402, the terminal device receives the first demodulation reference signal sent by the network device. Specifically, the first time-frequency resource includes a fourth time-frequency resource corresponding to the first demodulation reference signal, where the first demodulation reference signal is used by the terminal device to demodulate the first information block. The method further includes: the terminal device receiving the first demodulation reference signal sent by the network device in the fourth time-frequency resource; the terminal device uses the first demodulation reference signal to measure a channel and And obtaining, by the terminal device, the channel state information corresponding to the first time-frequency resource according to the interference measurement result and the channel measurement result.

Specifically, in step 402, the first demodulation reference information may be a Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) for demodulating and decoding the first information block.

The terminal device performs channel measurement according to the first demodulation reference signal, obtains a channel measurement result, and obtains channel state information corresponding to the first time-frequency resource according to the interference measurement result and the channel measurement result.

That is to say, the terminal device can not only demodulate and decode the first information block according to the first demodulation reference signal, but also perform channel measurement according to the first demodulation reference signal.

Optionally, the indication information carried by the high-layer signaling is used to indicate that the terminal device performs channel measurement on the channel corresponding to the first time-frequency resource and reports the measurement result to the network device.

Optionally, in step 403, the terminal device receives the first information block sent by the network device on the third time-frequency resource.

Here, the manner of how the terminal device determines the third time-frequency resource can refer to the foregoing description. For the sake of brevity, no further details are provided herein.

For the first information block, the indication information carried by the high-layer signaling may be used to indicate that the terminal device measures the channel corresponding to each transmission of the first information block and reports the channel state information; or, the terminal device pairs A channel corresponding to one transmission of an information block measures and reports channel state information; or, the terminal device measures a channel corresponding to several transmissions of the first information block and reports channel state information.

Optionally, as an embodiment of the present application, the sixth time-frequency resource in the second time-frequency resource and the seventh time-frequency resource in the fourth time-frequency resource are located on the same time unit; The transmit power of the signal on the at least one resource particle in the time-frequency resource is greater than the transmit power of the signal on the at least one resource particle in the third time-frequency resource.

The resource particle may refer to a time-frequency resource unit, and the duration of the resource particle in the time domain is equal to a time domain symbol, and the size of the resource particle in the frequency domain is equal to one sub-carrier. Further, the signal carried by the resource particle is included in a time domain symbol in the time domain and modulated on one subcarrier in the frequency domain. This application is not limited.

That is to say, the transmission power of the signal on the at least one resource particle in the time-frequency resource occupied by the first demodulation reference signal is greater than the transmission power of the signal on the at least one resource particle in the time-frequency resource occupied by the corresponding signal of the first information block.

For example, for the same time domain unit, the network device may allocate the power originally allocated to the second time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal to the first demodulation reference signal, that is, the network device may save the zero-power reference signal. The lower energy is used to increase the transmission energy of the first mediation reference signal. The power originally allocated to the second time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal refers to the power originally allocated to the second time-frequency resource for transmitting the signal carried on the second time-frequency resource.

Optionally, as an embodiment of the present application, the number of resource particles included in the fourth time-frequency resource is greater than or equal to the number of resource particles included in the second time-frequency resource. That is, the number of resource particles corresponding to the first demodulation reference signal in the first time-frequency resource is greater than the number of resource particles corresponding to the zero-power reference signal.

Therefore, the manner of the embodiments of the present application helps provide the accuracy of channel measurement and/or channel estimation by the terminal device using the first demodulation reference signal.

Optionally, before the step 404, the method further includes: receiving, by the terminal device, the first measurement reference signal sent by the network device.

Specifically, the first time-frequency resource includes an eighth time-frequency resource corresponding to the first measurement reference signal, where the first measurement reference signal is used by the terminal device to measure a channel, and the method further includes: the terminal device is Receiving, by the eighth time-frequency resource, the first measurement reference signal sent by the network device; the terminal device uses the first measurement reference signal to measure a channel and obtain a channel measurement result; The interference measurement result and the channel measurement result determine channel state information corresponding to the first time-frequency resource.

Specifically, in the foregoing steps, the first measurement reference information may be a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSIRS).

Optionally, as an embodiment of the present application, the ninth time-frequency resource in the second time-frequency resource and the tenth time-frequency resource in the eighth time-frequency resource are located on the same time unit; The transmit power of the signal on the at least one resource particle in the time-frequency resource is greater than the transmit power of the signal on the at least one resource particle in the ninth time-frequency resource.

That is, the transmission power of the signal on the at least one resource particle in the time-frequency resource occupied by the first measurement reference signal is greater than the transmission power of the signal on the at least one resource particle in the time-frequency resource occupied by the corresponding signal of the first information block.

For example, for the same time domain unit, the network device may allocate the power originally allocated to the second time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal to the first measurement reference signal, that is, the network device may save the zero-power reference signal. The energy is used to increase the transmission energy of the first measurement reference signal. The power originally allocated to the second time-frequency resource corresponding to the zero-power reference signal refers to the power originally allocated to the second time-frequency resource for transmitting the signal carried on the second time-frequency resource.

Therefore, since the signal on the tenth time-frequency resource may have a higher transmission power, it is advantageous to improve the accuracy of the terminal device using the first measurement reference signal for channel measurement.

The measurement reference signal is a reference signal for channel measurement. The width of the measurement reference signal distributed in the frequency domain is generally greater than the width of the demodulation reference signal in the frequency domain, or the frequency domain bandwidth occupied by the measurement reference signal is greater than the frequency domain bandwidth occupied by the demodulation reference signal. Therefore, the terminal device performs measurement of the channel using the measurement reference signal, which helps to improve the frequency domain range of the channel measurement. Accordingly, a wider range of channel measurement results help the network device select a channel state for subsequent data transmission of the terminal device. Good frequency domain resources, thereby improving the spectral efficiency and transmission reliability of subsequent transmissions.
