If the TRP uses the proposed solution for CSI acquisition, the TRP can perform scheduling from a larger set of user candidates to achieve higher multi-user scheduling gain. In this case, the TRP may, for example, notify the user of a particular CSI acquisition scheme, for example, using scheme b) or c), so that the operations of both are synchronized/matched.
  • the TRP adopts different transmit precoding schemes for different users, for example, linear precoding for non-correlated user groups and nonlinear precoding for high correlation user groups, different users can be used differently SRS configuration strategy. For example, for highly correlated user groups, it is preferred to use accurate CSI because non-linear transmission schemes are used for these users, while non-linear transmission schemes require more accurate CSI. Accordingly, more SRS resources can be allocated to those users.
  • a linear precoding based transmission scheme can be used and the proposed CSI acquisition scheme can be used.
  • the TRP can also notify the user of the CSI acquisition scheme. In other embodiments, the user may be informed of the CSI scheme to be used in a predetermined configuration or implicit manner.
  • the precoding scheme for the user changes due to the decision of the TRP or the movement of the user, the TRP may also notify the user of the new CSI acquisition scheme.

Abstract

Des modes de réalisation de la présente invention concernent un procédé et un appareil de détermination d'informations d'état de canal (CSI), et un produit-programme informatique. Un procédé mis en œuvre par un dispositif de communication fonctionnant dans un système de communication sans fil consiste : à obtenir des CSI d'un canal entre le dispositif de communication et un dispositif de réseau sur la base d'un signal provenant du dispositif de réseau, le canal comprenant un premier sous-canal et un second sous-canal ; à envoyer un signal de référence au dispositif de réseau pour indiquer des informations concernant les CSI du premier sous-canal ; à déterminer, sur la base des CSI du premier sous-canal et des CSI du second sous-canal, des informations concernant les CSI du second sous-canal à envoyer au dispositif de réseau ; et à envoyer au dispositif de réseau les informations concernant les CSI du second sous-canal déterminées. Les modes de réalisation de la présente invention permettent d'améliorer la précision de CSI obtenues par un dispositif de réseau et/ou la capacité d'un signal de référence de liaison montante.
