Description

数据传输方法、终端设备和网络设备
本申请要求于2017年05月05日提交中国专利局、申请号为201710310753.6、申请名称为“数据传输方法、终端设备和网络设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请实施例涉及通信领域,特别涉及通信领域中的数据传输的方法、终端设备和网络设备。
背景技术
多输入多输出(multiple-user multiple-input multiple-output,MIMO)技术是是指在发送端和接收端分别使用多根发射天线和接收天线,使信号通过发送端与接收端的多根天线传送和接收。随着多天线技术的发展,大规模天线阵列(Massive MIMO)成为提高系统容量的有效手段,在Massive MIMO系统中,网络设备可以配置几十甚至几百根天线,能够同时向几十个用户利用同时同频资源发送不同数据流,实现频谱效率的显著提升。
信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI)用于表示通信链路的信道属性,网络设备获取的CSI的准确性在很大程度上决定了Massive MIMO系统的性能。一般情况下,在频分双工(frequency division duplexing,FDD)系统或信道互易性不能很好满足的时分双工(time division duplexing,TDD)系统中,终端设备需要评估CSI,采用码本将其量化,并上报给网络设备。为了实现高精度的CSI上报(CSI reporting),可以采用波束叠加(beam combination)上报技术,终端设备可以将多个码字进行加权叠加,弥补单个码字的精度损失。
采用波束叠加上报技术时,需要上报多个波束位置信息及其系数量化信息,开销很大。目前一种典型的降低反馈开销的方法,通过将CSI进行分级上报的方式,来降低开销。采用波束叠加上报技术时,终端设备将需要上报的多个波束的CSI,分成T个时刻进行上报,每次上报N个波束的CSI,最后对L=T*N个波束的CSI进行聚合,得到最终的CSI信息,其中T和N均为大于0的整数。由于在现有的CSI分级上报方法中,T个时刻分别上报哪些波束的CSI是提前配置好的,网络设备和终端设备无法改变CSI上报的内容,如何提高CSI上报的灵活性成为一项亟待解决的技术问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供的数据传输方法、终端设备和网络设备,能够提高CSI上报的灵活性,从而提高系统性能。
第一方面,提供了一种数据传输方法,包括:终端设备确定信道状态信息CSI的上报类型,所述上报类型用于表示在当前上报周期内,所述终端设备当前上报的波束的CSI 与历史上报的波束的CSI之间的关系;所述终端设备根据所述上报类型以及所述码本参数,向网络设备发送N个波束的CSI,所述码本参数用于指示所述当前上报的波束的个数N,N为大于或等于1的整数。
具体地,网络设备可以向终端设备发送参考信号,对信道状态进行测量,终端设备在接收到该网络设备发送的参考信号之后,可以向该网络设备反馈至少一个波束的CSI,该网络设备对接收到的波束的CSI进行处理,获得测量结果。可选的,该参考信号可以为信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS),但本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在本申请实施例中,在终端设备向网络设备上报CSI之前,需要终端设备和网络设备确定CSI的上报类型,该上报类型用于表示在当前上报周期内,该终端设备当前上报的波束的CSI与历史上报的波束的CSI之间的关系。此外,该终端设备和网络设备还可以确定用于指示当前上报的波束的个数N的码本参数。该码本参数可以是预先约定的,也可以是在每次CSI上报之前由网络设备和终端设备协商的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。该终端设备根据已经确定的CSI的上报类型以及码本参数,选择N个波束的CSI,并向该网络设备反馈该N个波束的CSI。网络设备接收终端设备反馈的N个波束的CSI,根据该CSI的上报类型确定测量结果,即下行信道的当前信道状态。
本申请实施例的数据传输方法,通过终端设备与网络设备协商CSI的上报类型,该终端设备可以向该网络设备发送与协商的上报类型对应的CSI,能够使网络设备或终端设备根据实际情况对当前时刻上报的CSI进行调整,以满足信道不断变化的需求,从而提高CSI上报的灵活性,提高系统性能。
在第一方面的第一种可能的实现方式中,所述上报类型为下列类型中的任意一种:第一类型、第二类型以及第三类型,其中,所述第一类型用于表示所述当前上报的CSI为新的上报周期的CSI,所述第二类型用于表示所述当前上报的CSI为所述历史上报的波束的CSI的增量信息,所述第三类型用于表示所述当前上报的CSI为所述历史上报的波束的CSI的更新信息。
具体地,在本文中,上述第一类型、第二类型以及第三类型可以分别称为独立类型、增强类型以及更新类型。其中,独立类型用于表示终端设备开始新的CSI的上报,若信道状态发生了改变或是网络设备需要指示终端设备重新发起CSI的上报,该终端设备本次上报CSI对应的上报类型可以为独立类型;增强类型用于表示终端设备在当前时刻上报的CSI为历史上报的CSI的增量信息,即该终端设备已经上报了基本CSI的信息,当前上报的为增强CSI的信息,用于对基本CSI的信息进行补充,提高CSI的上报精度;更新类型用于表示终端设备需要对历史上报的部分CSI进行更新,若信道发生部分改变,该终端设备本次上报CSI对应的上报类型可以为更新类型。
基于上述不同的上报类型,终端设备上报的CSI可以实时进行改变。在信道没有变化的情况下,该终端设备可以上报基本CSI的信息,并在此基础之上,上报增强CSI的信息,同时指示网络设备对应的上报类型为增强类型,从而提高CSI的上报精度;一旦信道发生改变,该终端设备可以触发新的CSI上报,或者对当前已经上报的波束的CSI进行更新,同时指示网络设备对应的上报类型为独立类型或更新类型,从而提高CSI上报的准确性。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第二种可能的实现方式中,所述 终端设备根据所述上报类型以及所述码本参数,向网络设备发送N个波束的CSI之前,所述方法还包括:所述终端设备确定所述码本参数;所述终端设备根据所述上报类型以及所述码本参数,确定所述当前上报的所述N个波束。
具体地,该终端设备在每次上报CSI之前,需要确定当前时刻采用哪些波束进行CSI上报。该终端设备可以根据码本参数确定当前时刻需要上报的CSI的个数,再根据上报类型,确定具体需要上报CSI所采用的波束。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第三种可能的实现方式中,所述终端设备根据所述上报类型以及所述码本参数,确定所述当前上报的所述N个波束,包括:若所述上报类型为第一类型,所述终端设备确定开始新的上报周期的CSI上报,并将N个CSI对应的波束确定为所述N个波束;若所述上报类型为第二类型,所述终端设备将所述当前上报周期中未上报过的CSI中的N个CSI对应的波束确定为所述N个波束;若所述上报类型为第三类型,所述终端设备将所述当前上报周期中已上报过的CSI中需要更新的N个CSI对应的波束确定为所述N个波束。
应理解,上述CSI的上报类型是在终端设备每次上报CSI之前,由网络设备与终端设备共同协商好的,即该网络设备与该终端设备确定的CSI的上报类型必须一致,这样才能保证网络设备对终端设备上报的CSI进行正确地处理。在本申请实施例中,网络设备和终端设备可以采用多种方式确定CSI的上报类型,具体地,该上报类型可以由终端设备确定,并通知网络设备,也可以由网络设备确定,并通知终端设备,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第四种可能的实现方式中,所述终端设备确定信道状态信息CSI的上报类型,包括:所述终端设备根据下行信道状态,确定所述上报类型;所述方法还包括:所述终端设备根据所述上报类型,向所述网络设备发送用于指示所述上报类型的标志位。
具体地,该终端设备可以根据下行信道状态,确定上述上报类型,例如,若下行信道发生较大变化,该终端设备可以确定该上报类型为第一类型,若下行信道并未发生变化,该终端设备可以确定该上报类型为第二类型,若下行信道发生较小改变,该终端设备可以确定该上报类型为第三类型。在确定了上报类型之后,该终端设备可以向网络设备发送该上报类型,网络设备接收该终端设备发送的该上报类型,从而确定该终端设备本次上报的CSI的上报类型,并对其进行正确地处理。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该终端设备可以通过向该网络设备发送标志位,来指示本次上报的CSI的上报类型,该标志位与上述上报类型之间具有预设的对应关系。

具体地,该网络设备可以根据该终端设备在当前上报周期中历史上报的波束的CSI,确定上述上报类型,例如,若该网络设备确定历史上报的CSI无用,需要开始新的CSI上报,该网络设备可以确定该上报类型为第一类型,若该网络设备确定历史上报的CSI不够精确,该网络设备可以确定该上报类型为第二类型。在确定了上报类型之后,该网络 设备可以向终端设备发送该上报类型,该终端设备接收该网络设备发送的该上报类型,从而确定该终端设备本次上报的CSI的上报类型,并选择正确的CSI进行上报。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该网络设备可以通过向该终端设备发送标志位,来指示本次上报的CSI的上报类型,该标志位与上述上报类型之间具有预设的对应关系。

应理解,只有在上述上报类型为第一类型或第二类型的情况下,网络设备才可以主动更改CSI的上报内容,即主动确定CSI的上报类型以及码本参数,并将其发送给终端设备。而在上报类型为更新类型的情况下,由于网络设备无法获知信道状态,只有终端设备可以主动发起对第三类型的CSI的上报,在这种情况下,第三类型对应的码本参数也只能由该终端设备确定,并通知该网络设备。
结合第一方面的上述可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第八种可能的实现方式中,所述CSI包括下列信息中的至少一种:预编码矩阵指示PMI、秩指示RI和信道质量指示CQI。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。
应理解,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于各种通信系统,例如:全球移动通信(global system of mobile communication,GSM)系统、码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)系统、宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)系统、通用分组无线业务(general packet radio service,GPRS)、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)系统、LTE时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信系统(universal mobile telecommunication system,UMTS)、全球互联微波接入(worldwide interoperability for microwave access,WiMAX)通信系统、以及未来的5G通信系统等。
还应理解,本申请实施例的技术方案还可以应用于各种基于非正交多址接入技术的通信系统,例如稀疏码多址接入(sparse code multiple access,SCMA)系统,当然SCMA在通信领域也可以被称为其他名称;进一步地,本申请实施例的技术方案可以应用于采用非正交多址接入技术的多载波传输系统,例如采用非正交多址接入技术正交频分复用(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,OFDM)、滤波器组多载波(filter bank  multi-carrier,FBMC)、通用频分复用(generalized frequency division multiplexing,GFDM)、滤波正交频分复用(filtered-OFDM,F-OFDM)系统等。
还应理解,在本申请实施例中,终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网进行通信,该终端设备可称为接入终端、用户设备(user equipment,UE)、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字处理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备、未来5G网络中的终端设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)中的终端设备等。
还应理解,在本申请实施例中,网络设备可用于与终端设备通信,该网络设备可以是GSM系统或CDMA系统中的基站(base transceiver station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA系统中的基站(node B,NB),还可以是LTE系统中的演进型基站(evolutional node B,eNB或eNode B),或者该网络设备可以为中继站、接入点、车载设备、可穿戴设备、未来5G网络中的网络侧设备或者未来演进的PLMN网络中的网络设备等。
本申请实施例可以适用于LTE系统以及后续的演进系统如5G等,或其他采用各种无线接入技术的无线通信系统,如采用码分多址,频分多址,时分多址,正交频分多址,单载波频分多址等接入技术的系统,尤其适用于需要信道信息反馈和/或应用二级预编码技术的场景,例如应用Massive MIMO技术的无线网络、应用分布式天线技术的无线网络等。
应理解,多输入输出(multiple-input multiple-output,MIMO)技术是指在发送端设备和接收端设备分别使用多个发射天线和接收天线,使信号通过发送端设备与接收端设备的多个天线传送和接收,从而改善通信质量。它能充分利用空间资源,通过多个天线实现多发多收,在不增加频谱资源和天线发射功率的情况下,可以成倍地提高系统信道容量。
MIMO可以分为单用户多输入多输出(single-user MIMO,SU-MIMO)和多用户多输入多输出(multi-user MIMO,MU-MIMO)。Massive MIMO基于多用户波束成形的原理,在发送端设备布置几百根天线,对几十个目标接收机调制各自的波束,通过空间信号隔离,在同一频率资源上同时传输几十条信号。因此,Massive MIMO技术能够充分利用大规模天线配置带来的空间自由度,提升频谱效率。
图1是本申请实施例所用的通信系统的示意图。如图1所示,该通信系统100包括网络设备102,网络设备102可包括多个天线组。每个天线组可以包括一个或多个天线,例如,一个天线组可包括天线104和106,另一个天线组可包括天线108和110,附加组可包括天线112和114。图1中对于每个天线组示出了2个天线,然而可以对于每个组使用更多或更少的天线。网络设备102可附加地包括发射机链和接收机链,本领域普通技术人员可以理解,它们均可包括与信号发送和接收相关的多个部件,例如处理器、调制器、复用器、解调器、解复用器或天线等。
网络设备102可以与多个终端设备通信,例如,网络设备102可以与终端设备116和终端设备122通信。然而,可以理解,网络设备102可以与类似于终端设备116或122的任意数目的终端设备通信。终端设备116和122可以是例如蜂窝电话、智能电话、便携式 电脑、手持通信设备、手持计算设备、卫星无线电装置、全球定位系统、PDA和/或用于在无线通信系统100上通信的任意其它适合设备。
如图1所示,终端设备116与天线112和114通信,其中天线112和114通过前向链路118向终端设备116发送信息,并通过反向链路120从终端设备116接收信息。此外,终端设备122与天线104和106通信,其中天线104和106通过前向链路124向终端设备122发送信息,并通过反向链路126从终端设备122接收信息。
例如,在频分双工FDD系统中,例如,前向链路118可利用与反向链路120所使用的不同频带,前向链路124可利用与反向链路126所使用的不同频带。
再例如,在时分双工TDD系统和全双工(full duplex)系统中,前向链路118和反向链路120可使用共同频带,前向链路124和反向链路126可使用共同频带。
被设计用于通信的每组天线和/或区域称为网络设备102的扇区。例如,可将天线组设计为与网络设备102覆盖区域的扇区中的终端设备通信。在网络设备102通过前向链路118和124分别与终端设备116和122进行通信的过程中,网络设备102的发射天线可利用波束成形来改善前向链路118和124的信噪比。此外,与网络设备通过单个天线向它所有的终端设备发送信号的方式相比,在网络设备102利用波束成形向相关覆盖区域中随机分散的终端设备116和122发送信号时,相邻小区中的移动设备会受到较少的干扰。
在给定时间,网络设备102、终端设备116或终端设备122可以是无线通信发送装置和/或无线通信接收装置。当发送数据时,无线通信发送装置可对数据进行编码以用于传输。具体地,无线通信发送装置可获取要通过信道发送至无线通信接收装置的一定数目的数据比特,例如,无线通信发送装置可生成、从其它通信装置接收、或在存储器中保存等要通过信道发送至无线通信接收装置的一定数目的数据比特。这种数据比特可包含在数据的传输块或多个传输块中,传输块可被分段以产生多个码块。
此外,该通信系统100可以是公共陆地移动网络PLMN网络或者设备对设备(device to device,D2D)网络或者机器对机器(machine to machine,M2M)网络或者其他网络,图1仅为便于理解而示例的简化示意图,网络中还可以包括其他网络设备,图1中未予以画出。
图2示出了本申请实施例的数据传输方法的示意性流程图200。该方法200可以应用于图1所示的通信系统100,但本申请实施例不限于此。
S210,终端设备确定信道状态信息CSI的上报类型,所述上报类型用于表示在当前上报周期内,所述终端设备当前上报的波束的CSI与历史上报的波束的CSI之间的关系;
S220,网络设备确定所述终端设备的信道状态信息CSI的上报类型;
S230,所述终端设备根据所述上报类型以及码本参数,向所述网络设备发送N个波束的CSI,所述码本参数用于指示所述当前上报的波束的个数N,N为大于或等于1的整数;
则对应地,所述网络设备接收所述终端设备发送的N个波束的CSI;
S240,所述网络设备根据所述上报类型、所述码本参数以及所述N个波束的CSI,确定下行信道的当前信道状态。
基于码本的波束成形技术,其码本的选择主要依赖于信道状态信息CSI。在时变缓慢的时分双工TDD系统中,利用信道的对偶特性,网络设备可以根据上行信道估计来获得 下行CSI。然而,在频分复用FDD系统或信道互易性不好的时分双工TDD系统中,由于上下行信道不对称,下行CSI只能通过终端设备进行估计,然后利用上行信道进行反馈。具体地,网络设备可以向终端设备发送参考信号,对信道状态进行测量,终端设备在接收到该网络设备发送的参考信号之后,可以向该网络设备反馈至少一个波束的CSI,该网络设备对接收到的波束的CSI进行处理,获得测量结果。
作为一个可选的实施例,该参考信号可以为信道状态信息参考信号(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS),但本申请实施例对此不作限定。
在本申请实施例中,在终端设备向网络设备上报CSI之前,需要终端设备和网络设备确定CSI的上报类型,该上报类型用于表示在当前上报周期内,该终端设备当前上报的波束的CSI与历史上报的波束的CSI之间的关系。此外,该终端设备和网络设备还可以确定用于指示当前上报的波束的个数N的码本参数。该码本参数可以是预先约定的,也可以是在每次CSI上报之前由网络设备和终端设备协商的,本申请实施例对此不作限定。该终端设备根据已经确定的CSI的上报类型以及码本参数,选择N个波束的CSI,并向该网络设备反馈该N个波束的CSI。网络设备接收终端设备反馈的N个波束的CSI,根据该CSI的上报类型确定测量结果,即下行信道的当前信道状态。
现有的CSI分级上报方法中,在CSI上报之前,网络设备和终端设备可以提前配置好在接下来的T个时刻需要上报的波束信息,即在一个上报周期内,可以为终端设备预配置CSI的多个上报时刻以及每个时刻上报的波束信息。由于T个时刻分别上报哪些波束的CSI是提前配置好的,网络设备和终端设备无法改变CSI上报的内容。
而本申请实施例的数据传输方法,通过终端设备与网络设备协商CSI的上报类型,该终端设备可以向该网络设备发送与协商的上报类型对应的CSI,能够使网络设备或终端设备根据实际情况对当前时刻上报的CSI进行调整,以满足信道不断变化的需求,从而提高CSI上报的灵活性,提高系统性能。
在一种实现方式中,基于波束叠加机制的高精度CSI反馈,用于表示终端设备反馈的CSI的码本可以表示为两级码本结构,通常表示为:
W=W 1×W 2
其中,W 1=[b 1 b 2 … b K]表示从码本中选择的基底(波束beam),总个数为K,W 2表示对应基底的系数,可以表示为:
Figure PCTCN2018085439-appb-000001
α ij为系数,用于表示幅度信息和相位信息,i∈{1,…,K},j∈{1,…,L},L为用户信号的传输层数。
下面结合如下所述的两级码本结构为例进行说明。
Figure PCTCN2018085439-appb-000002
其中,b i用于表示使用波束叠加机制时当前反馈的CSI所选取的波束beam,c j为系数,主要包括幅度信息和相位信息,p j为用于辅助指示系数的幅度信息。
应理解,采用双码本结构的好处是可以降低开销,p j为宽带长期参数,可以在整个上行带宽上保持一致,可以以较长周期通知一次,而c j为子带短期参数,可以在窄带上以较短的周期通知一次,但本申请实施例对此不作限定。
具体地,终端设备可以将上述CSI的码本W拆分成两级CSI进行上报,如下所示:
Figure PCTCN2018085439-appb-000003
基于波束b 0和b 1上报的CSI可以称为基本CSI的信息,基于波束b 2和b 3上报的CSI的信息可以称为增强CSI的信息。
应理解,用于上报基本CSI的至少一个波束为所有波束的CSI中信息量最大的CSI对应的波束,因此,基本CSI包括了本次测量获得的CSI的主要信息。若用于上报基本CSI的波束为一个,则该波束即为波束选择(beam selection)的上报技术中的最优波束,此处不再赘述。而用于上报增强CSI的至少一个波束,可以由终端设备在除了用于上报基本CSI的波束之外的剩余波束中选择,目的是对基本CSI的信息进行补充,从而使得网络设备可以获得更高精度的CSI,CSI反馈质量可以得到显著提升。
因此,在CSI的分级上报技术中,终端设备可以先上报基本CSI,再上报增强CSI,随着终端设备上报的CSI越来越多,提高CSI的上报精度,提高网络设备测量信道状态的准确性。
采用CSI分级上报时,终端设备可以在不同时刻上报一部分CSI的信息,例如,该终端设备可以在T 0时刻上报基本CSI的信息,在T 0+ΔT时刻上报第一增强CSI的信息,在T 0+2*ΔT时刻上报第二增强CSI的信息,以此类推,直到上报完所有CSI信息为止。但是,由于信道会随时发生改变,终端设备在T 0时刻上报基本CSI的信息是准确的,假设信道在T 0时刻至T 0+ΔT时刻之间发生了变化,该终端设备在T 0+ΔT时刻上报第一增强CSI的信息就不准确了,这样,继续上报第一增强CSI的信息以及第二增强CSI的信息便没有意义,反而会导致网络设备最终确定的CSI不能准确反映出信道状态。
而现有的CSI分级上报方法中,网络设备和终端设备是提前配置好在接下来的多个时刻需要上报的波束信息的,网络设备和终端设备不能改变每个时刻的CSI上报内容。有鉴于此,本申请实施例提出了CSI的上报类型的概念,使每个时刻的CSI上报内容不再固定,可以灵活改变CSI上报的内容。
考虑到在CSI分级上报的过程中,可能出现信道发生改变或其他情况需要终端设备重新进行CSI的上报,下面定义了三种CSI的上报类型,但应理解,CSI的上报类型还可以为其他类型,本申请实施例不限于此。
作为一个可选的实施例,所述上报类型为下列类型中的任意一种:
第一类型、第二类型以及第三类型,其中,所述第一类型用于表示所述当前上报的CSI为新的上报周期的CSI,所述第二类型用于表示所述当前上报的CSI为所述历史上报的波束的CSI的增量信息,所述第三类型用于表示所述当前上报的CSI为所述历史上报的波束的CSI的更新信息。
具体地,CSI的上报类型可以包括第一类型、第二类型以及第三类型。在本文中,为了便于理解,将第一类型称为独立类型,第二类型称为增强类型,第三类型称为更新类型。但应理解,这并不会对本申请实施例的保护范围构成任何限定。其中,独立类型用于表示终端设备开始新的CSI的上报,若信道状态发生了改变或是网络设备需要指示终端设备重新发起CSI的上报,该终端设备本次上报CSI对应的上报类型可以为独立类型;增强类型用于表示终端设备在当前时刻上报的CSI为历史上报的CSI的增量信息,即该终端设备已经上报了基本CSI的信息,当前上报的为增强CSI的信息,用于对基本CSI的信息进行补充,提高CSI的上报精度;更新类型用于表示终端设备需要对历史上报的部分CSI进行更新,若信道发生部分改变,该终端设备本次上报CSI对应的上报类型可以为更新类型。
基于上述不同的上报类型,终端设备上报的CSI可以实时进行改变。在信道没有变化的情况下,该终端设备可以上报基本CSI的信息,并在此基础之上,上报增强CSI的信息,同时指示网络设备对应的上报类型为增强类型,从而提高CSI的上报精度;一旦信道发生改变,该终端设备可以触发新的CSI上报,或者对当前已经上报的波束的CSI进行更新,同时指示网络设备对应的上报类型为独立类型或更新类型,从而提高CSI上报的准确性。
作为一个可选的实施例,所述终端设备根据所述上报类型以及所述码本参数,向网络设备发送N个波束的CSI之前,所述方法还包括:
所述终端设备确定所述码本参数;
所述终端设备根据所述上报类型以及所述码本参数,确定所述当前上报的所述N个波束。
具体地,该终端设备在每次上报CSI之前,需要确定当前时刻采用哪些波束进行CSI上报。该终端设备可以根据码本参数确定当前时刻需要上报的CSI的个数,再根据上报类型,确定具体需要上报CSI所采用的波束。
作为一个可选的实施例,所述终端设备根据所述上报类型以及所述码本参数,确定所述当前上报的所述N个波束,包括:
若所述上报类型为第一类型,所述终端设备确定开始新的上报周期的CSI上报,并将N个CSI对应的波束确定为所述N个波束;
若所述上报类型为第二类型,所述终端设备将所述当前上报周期中未上报过的CSI 中的N个CSI对应的波束确定为所述N个波束;
若所述上报类型为第三类型,所述终端设备将所述当前上报周期中已上报过的CSI中需要更新的N个CSI对应的波束确定为所述N个波束。
则对应地,所述网络设备根据所述上报类型、所述码本参数以及所述N个波束的CSI,确定下行信道的当前信道状态,包括:
若所述上报类型为第一类型,所述网络设备确定所述终端设备开始新的上报周期,并根据所述N个波束的CSI确定所述当前信道状态;
若所述上报类型为第二类型,所述网络设备将所述N个波束的CSI与所述当前上报周期内已上报过的波束的CSI进行聚合处理,获得所述当前信道状态;
若所述上报类型为第三类型,所述网络设备将所述当前上报周期内已上报过的N个波束的CSI更新为所述终端设备当前上报的所述N个波束的CSI,并根据更新后的波束的CSI确定所述当前信道状态。
为了便于理解,将第一类型称为独立类型,第二类型称为增强类型,第三类型称为更新类型。具体地,下面针对上述上报类型分为独立类型、增强类型以及更新类型的情况分别进行说明。
(1)独立类型
若CSI的上报类型为独立类型,该终端设备确定需要开始新的上报周期的CSI上报,首先,该终端设备根据码本参数,确定本次需要上报N个波束的CSI,然后,该终端设备将信息量最大的N个CSI对应的波束确定为本次需要上报的N个波束,并向网络设备发送该N个波束的CSI;
对应的,该网络设备接收该终端设备发送的N个波束的CSI,根据本次CSI的上报类型,确定终端设备本次上报的N个波束的CSI为独立类型,该网络设备确定该终端设备开始新的CSI上报,将该N个波束的CSI确定为基本CSI的信息,并进一步确定当前信道状态。
(2)增强类型
若CSI的上报类型为增强类型,该终端设备确定上报增强CSI的信息,首先,该终端设备根据码本参数,确定本次需要上报N个波束的CSI,然后,该终端设备将当前上报周期中未上报过的CSI中信息量最大的N个CSI对应的波束确定为本次需要上报的N个波束,并向网络设备发送该N个波束的CSI;
对应的,该网络设备接收该终端设备发送的N个波束的CSI,根据本次CSI的上报类型,确定终端设备本次上报的N个波束的CSI为增强类型,该网络设备将该N个波束的CSI确定为增强CSI的信息,并进一步结合该终端设备历史上报的基本CSI的信息,确定当前信道状态。
(3)更新类型
若CSI的上报类型为更新类型,该终端设备确定需要对当前上报周期中已上报的部分CSI进行更新,首先,该终端设备根据码本参数,确定本次需要上报N个波束的CSI,然后,该终端设备将当前上报周期中已上报过的CSI中需要更新的N个CSI对应的波束确定为本次需要上报的N个波束,并向网络设备发送该N个波束的CSI;
对应的,该网络设备接收该终端设备发送的N个波束的CSI,根据本次CSI的上报类 型,确定终端设备本次上报的N个波束的CSI为更新类型,该网络设备将当前上报周期内已上报过的N个波束的CSI更新为该终端设备当前上报的该N个波束的CSI,并进一步确定当前信道状态。
应理解,上述CSI的上报类型是在终端设备每次上报CSI之前,由网络设备与终端设备共同协商好的,即该网络设备与该终端设备确定的CSI的上报类型必须一致,这样才能保证网络设备对终端设备上报的CSI进行正确地处理。在本申请实施例中,网络设备和终端设备可以采用多种方式确定CSI的上报类型,具体地,该上报类型可以由终端设备确定,并通知网络设备,也可以由网络设备确定,并通知终端设备,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
作为一个可选的实施例,所述终端设备确定信道状态信息CSI的上报类型,包括:
所述终端设备根据下行信道状态,确定所述上报类型;
所述方法还包括:
所述终端设备根据所述上报类型,向所述网络设备发送用于指示所述上报类型的标志位。
则对应地,所述网络设备确定终端设备的信道状态信息CSI的上报类型,包括:
所述网络设备接收所述终端设备发送的标志位,所述标志位用于指示所述上报类型;
所述网络设备根据所述标志位,确定所述上报类型。
具体地,终端设备可以根据下行信道的变化情况,确定上述上报类型,例如,若下行信道发生较大变化,该终端设备可以确定该上报类型为独立类型,若下行信道并未发生变化,该终端设备可以确定该上报类型为增强类型,若下行信道发生较小改变,该终端设备可以确定该上报类型为更新类型。在确定了上报类型之后,该终端设备可以向网络设备发送该上报类型,网络设备接收该终端设备发送的该上报类型,从而确定该终端设备本次上报的CSI的上报类型,并对其进行正确地处理。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该终端设备可以通过向该网络设备发送标志位,来指示本次上报的CSI的上报类型。具体而言,该标志位与上述上报类型之间具有预设的对应关系,例如,独立类型对应00,增强类型对应01,更新类型对应11等等,终端设备确定了上报类型为独立类型之后,便可以根据上报类型与标志位之间的对应关系,确定标志位为00,并向网络设备发送00,该网络设备在接收到标志位00之后,可以根据上报类型与标志位之间的对应关系,确定该上报类型为独立类型。
应理解,上述采用2比特来表示标志位仅仅是为了进行举例说明,本申请实施例中的标志位还可以采用其他比特或其他字符表示,本申请实施例对此不作限定。
作为一个可选的实施例,所述网络设备确定终端设备的信道状态信息CSI的上报类型,包括:

所述终端设备接收所述网络设备发送的标志位,所述标志位用于指示所述上报类型;
所述终端设备根据所述标志位,确定所述上报类型。
具体地,网络设备可以根据该终端设备在当前上报周期中历史上报的波束的CSI,确定上述上报类型,例如,若该网络设备确定历史上报的CSI无用,需要开始新的CSI上报,该网络设备可以确定该上报类型为独立类型(即上述第一类型),若该网络设备确定历史上报的CSI不够精确,该网络设备可以确定该上报类型为增强类型(即上述第二类型)。在确定了上报类型之后,该网络设备可以向终端设备发送该上报类型,该终端设备接收该网络设备发送的该上报类型,从而确定该终端设备本次上报的CSI的上报类型,并选择正确的CSI进行上报。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该网络设备可以通过向该终端设备发送标志位,来指示本次上报的CSI的上报类型。具体而言,该标志位与上述上报类型之间具有预设的对应关系,例如,独立类型对应00,增强类型对应01,更新类型对应11等等,网络设备确定了上报类型为独立类型之后,便可以根据上报类型与标志位之间的对应关系,确定标志位为00,并向终端设备发送00,该终端设备在接收到标志位00之后,可以根据上报类型与标志位之间的对应关系,确定该上报类型为独立类型。
应理解,上述采用2比特来表示标志位仅仅是为了进行举例说明,本申请实施例中的标志位还可以采用其他比特或其他字符表示,本申请实施例对此不作限定。

作为一个可选的实施例,所述CSI包括下列信息中的至少一种:预编码矩阵指示PMI、秩指示RI和信道质量指示CQI。
具体地,终端设备反馈至网络设备的信道状态信息CSI,可以包括秩指示(rank indication,RI)、预编码矩阵指示(pre-coding matrix indicator,PMI)和信道质量指示(channel quality indication,CQI)中的至少一种。其中,RI标识发送端空间传输的可用层数,PMI标识最优预编码矩阵的码本索引,CQI是上报RI/PMI时的信道质量,用于发送端选择传输的调制方式和编码速率。
