Description

Method for measuring channel state information, terminal device and network device

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201810005731.3, filed on Jan. 3, 2018, and entitled "Measurement Method, Terminal Equipment and Network Equipment for Channel State Information", the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference. Combined in this application.

Technical field

The present application relates to the field of communications and, more particularly, to a method of measuring channel state information, a terminal device, and a network device.

Background technique

Coordination Multiple Point (CoMP) transmission is a method for solving inter-cell interference problems and improving cell edge user throughput. In a CoMP transmission scenario, when a network device communicates with a terminal device, it may not know whether there are other network devices and several other network devices that communicate with the terminal device. Therefore, the network device may be to the terminal device. The interference measurement assumptions are indicated such that the terminal device performs channel state information (CSI) measurement and feedback separately according to various interference measurement assumptions. The network device, in turn, can determine the transmission scheme based on the CSI measured and fed back under various interference measurement assumptions, and adaptively adjust the scheduling strategy.

In the current technology, the network device may indicate various interference measurement assumptions to the terminal device by using downlink control information. For example, if S (S ≥ 1, S is an integer) interference measurement assumptions are to be indicated, the network device needs S indications, and one or more interference measurement resources are indicated in each indication, and there is a large signaling. Overhead. As the number of cooperatively transmitted stations increases, the interference measurement assumptions also increase, and the resulting signaling overhead is also more serious.

Summary of the invention

The present application provides a method for measuring channel state information, a terminal device, and a network device, which can reduce signaling overhead.

In a first aspect, a method for measuring channel state information is provided, including:

The terminal device receives downlink control information, where the downlink control information carries measurement information for channel state information CSI measurement, and the measurement information includes at least indication information of a channel state information reference signal CSI-RS resource configuration, the CSI-RS The resource configuration indication information is used to indicate a CSI-RS resource;

Receiving a downlink control information in the preset time period, the terminal device performs CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the one downlink control information, and otherwise, based on at least two received in the preset time period. The measurement information carried in the downlink control information is subjected to each CSI measurement.

In other words, the plurality of downlink control information is received in the preset time period, and the terminal device performs each CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information received in the preset time period; or

Detailed ways

The technical solutions in the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to various communication systems, such as a Global System of Mobile communication (GSM) system, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system, and a wideband code division multiple access. (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access, WCDMA) system, General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, LTE Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system, LTE Time Division Duplex (TDD), Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) communication system, and the future fifth generation (5th Generation, 5G) system or new radio (New Radio, NR) and so on.

For ease of understanding the embodiments of the present application, the communication system applicable to the embodiment of the present application is first described in detail by taking the communication system shown in FIG. 1 as an example. 1 is a schematic diagram of a wireless communication system 100 suitable for use with embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the wireless communication system 100 can include at least one network device, such as the network device #1 111, the network device #2 112, and the network device #3 113 shown in FIG. 1, and the wireless communication system 100 can also At least one terminal device is included, for example, the terminal device 121 shown in FIG.

In the wireless communication system 100, one or more of the network device #1 111, the network device #2 112, and the network device #3 113 can simultaneously communicate with the terminal device 121. For example, during a certain period of time, network device #1 111 and network device #2 112 simultaneously communicate with terminal device 121.

It should be understood that the network device in the wireless communication system may be any device having a wireless transceiver function or a chip that can be disposed on the device, including but not limited to: an evolved Node B (eNB), Radio Network Controller (RNC), Node B (NB), Base Station Controller (BSC), Base Transceiver Station (BTS), and home base station (for example, Home evolved) NodeB, or Home Node B, HNB), BaseBand Unit (BBU), Access Point (AP), Wireless Relay Node, Wireless Backhaul Node in Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) System , transmission point (TP) or transmission and reception point (TRP), etc., can also be 5G, such as NR, gNB in the system, or transmission point (TRP or TP), 5G system One or a group of antennas (including multiple antenna panels), or a network node that constitutes a gNB or transmission point, such as a baseband unit (BBU), or a distributed unit (distr) Ibuted unit, DU) and so on.

In some deployments, the gNB may include a centralized unit (CU) and a DU. The gNB may also include a radio unit (RU). The CU implements some functions of the gNB, and the DU implements some functions of the gNB. For example, the CU implements radio resource control (RRC), the function of the packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, and the DU implements the wireless chain. The functions of the radio link control (RLC), the media access control (MAC), and the physical (PHY) layer. Since the information of the RRC layer eventually becomes information of the PHY layer or is transformed by the information of the PHY layer, high-level signaling, such as RRC layer signaling or PHCP layer signaling, can also be used in this architecture. It is considered to be sent by the DU or sent by the DU+RU. It can be understood that the network device can be a CU node, or a DU node, or a device including a CU node and a DU node. In addition, the CU may be divided into network devices in the access network RAN, and the CU may be divided into network devices in the core network CN, which is not limited herein.

It should also be understood that the terminal equipment in the wireless communication system may also be referred to as user equipment (UE), access terminal, subscriber unit, subscriber station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, User terminal, terminal, wireless communication device, user agent or user device. The terminal device in the embodiment of the present application may be a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer with a wireless transceiver function, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, and an augmented reality (AR) terminal. Equipment, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self driving, wireless terminals in remote medical, wireless terminals in smart grid, transportation security ( A wireless terminal in a transportation safety, a wireless terminal in a smart city, a wireless terminal in a smart home, and the like. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the application scenario. In the present application, the foregoing terminal device and a chip that can be disposed in the foregoing terminal device are collectively referred to as a terminal device.

It should be understood that the network device #1 to the network device #3 and the terminal device are schematically illustrated in FIG. 1 for convenience of understanding, but this should not constitute any limitation to the present application, and the wireless communication system may further include more Or a smaller number of network devices, and may also include a larger number of terminal devices. Network devices that communicate with different terminal devices may be the same network device, or may be different network devices, and networks that communicate with different terminal devices. The number of devices may be the same or different, and this application does not limit this.

In a CoMP transmission scenario, a network device usually needs to refer to the CSI fed back by the terminal device to determine a reasonable transmission scheme and scheduling policy. The terminal device may perform CSI measurement and feedback according to a reference signal resource indicated by the network device, for example, a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource. The CSI may include, for example, a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), a rank indication (RI), and a channel quality indicator (CQI).

In the current technology, since the network device does not necessarily know which other network devices communicate with the terminal device 121 at the same time, for example, at a certain time period, the network device #1 111 and the network device #2 112 can simultaneously communicate with the terminal device 121. At another time, the network device #1 111, the network device #2 112, and the network device #3 113 can simultaneously communicate with the terminal device 121. The network device may determine various interference measurement assumptions according to other network devices that may have a communication connection around the terminal device, and indicate to the terminal device, so that the terminal device performs CSI measurement according to the multiple interference measurement assumptions.

However, the method of indicating the interference measurement assumption by the network device may bring about a large signaling overhead. For example, if there are S types of interference measurement assumptions, it is possible to indicate S types of interference measurement assumptions to the terminal device by using the S downlink control information, or to indicate the S types in the multiple fields in the same downlink control information. Interference measurement assumptions. One or more interference measurement resources may be indicated in the indication of each interference measurement hypothesis. If there are multiple other network devices that may have a communication connection around the terminal device, the number of interference assumptions may be large, and the signaling overhead caused by this is also very serious.

In view of this, the present application provides a method for measuring channel state information, which can reduce signaling overhead.

The method for measuring channel state information provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be understood that the method of measuring channel state information provided by the present application is applicable to a wireless communication system, such as the wireless communication system 100 shown in FIG. The terminal device in the embodiment of the present application can communicate with one or more network devices at the same time. For example, the network device in the embodiment of the present application may correspond to the network device #1 111, the network device #2 112, and the network device in FIG. One or more of #3 113, the terminal device in the embodiment of the present application may correspond to the terminal device 121 in FIG.

It should also be understood that the CSI-RS in the embodiments of the present application is a specific form of the reference signal for CSI measurement, and should not constitute any limitation to the present application. In fact, this application does not exclude the use of other reference signals for CSI measurements, such as demodulation reference signals (DMRS), or reference signals having the same or similar functions as defined in future protocols.

In the following, the embodiment of the present application is described in detail by taking an interaction process between a terminal device and one or more network devices, where the terminal device may be in a wireless communication system and has a wireless connection relationship with the network device. Any terminal device. It can be understood that any one of the terminal devices in the wireless communication system can perform CSI measurement and feedback based on the same technical solution, which is not limited in this application.

FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method 200 for measuring channel state information provided by an embodiment of the present application, which is shown from the perspective of device interaction. As shown, the method 200 illustrated in FIG. 2 can include steps 210 through 240. The method 200 is described in detail below in conjunction with FIG.

In step 210, the terminal device receives downlink control information, where the downlink control information carries measurement information for CSI measurement.

Correspondingly, in step 210, the network device sends downlink control information.

The network device that sends the downlink control information to the terminal device may be a network device that has a communication connection with the terminal device. For example, one or more of the network devices having the communication connection with the terminal device 121 shown in FIG. 1, such as one or more of the network device #1 111, the network device #2 112, and the network device #3 113 . Specifically, when any one of the network devices is to perform data transmission with the terminal device, CSI measurement may be performed in advance by sending a CSI-RS to determine a reasonable transmission scheme and scheduling policy. The number of network devices that send downlink control information to the terminal device is not limited in this application.

It should be noted that the downlink control information may be DCI (downlink control information) defined in the LTE protocol or the NR protocol, or may be other signaling used to carry downlink control information transmitted in the physical downlink control channel. This application does not limit this.

It should be understood that the physical downlink control channel mentioned herein may be a PDCCH (physical downlink control channel) defined in the LTE protocol or the NR protocol, an enhanced physical downlink control channel (EPDCCH), or an NR. PDCCH in, and other downlink channels with the above functions defined as the network evolves. Moreover, the physical downlink control channel may be a physical downlink control channel based on a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a physical downlink control channel based on a DMRS. The physical downlink control channel based on the CRS may be a physical downlink control channel demodulated according to the CRS, and the physical downlink control channel based on the DMRS may be a physical downlink control channel demodulated according to the DMRS. The CRS is a reference signal (Reference Signal, RS) that the network device configures to all the terminal devices in the cell. The DMRS may be an RS configured by the network device to a specific terminal device, and may also be referred to as a terminal device specific reference signal. It should be noted that the physical downlink control channel defined in the NR system may be a physical downlink control channel of the foregoing DMRS.

Optionally, the downlink control information may be uplink related downlink control information. For example, the downlink control information may be a DCI related to the uplink in LTE or NR.

In this embodiment of the present application, the network device may indicate, by using downlink control information, measurement information for CSI measurement to the terminal device. By way of example and not limitation, the measurement information includes at least indication information of a CSI-RS resource configuration. In other words, the downlink control information carries the indication information of the CSI-RS resource configuration.

In a possible implementation, the terminal device may acquire multiple possible CSI-RS resource configurations in advance through high-layer signaling (for example, radio resource control (RRC) message), for example, the multiple possibilities. The CSI-RS resource configuration can be indicated by multiple resource settings. Thereafter, the terminal device may determine the CSI-RS resource according to the indication field of the CSI-RS resource configuration included in the received downlink control information. The indication field may be, for example, an index of a resource setting, or an indication information that may be used to index a resource setting, such as an index in a CSI request (CSI request) field in a DCI defined in an LTE protocol or an NR protocol.

Optionally, the measurement information carried in the downlink control information further includes indication information of a codebook subset restriction (CSR).

Specifically, the indication information of the codebook subset restriction is used to indicate a restricted codebook subset, and the restricted codebook subset can be understood as a codebook subset currently used by the network device. The codebook subset may include some or all of the codewords in the codebook.

In a possible design, the indication information of the CSI-RS resource configuration and the indication information of the codebook subset restriction are carried by the same field. Optionally, the measurement information may be carried in a certain field of the downlink control information. For example, the CSI request field in the DCI defined in the LTE protocol or the NR protocol. Specifically, the terminal device may pre-acquire information of multiple CSI-RS resource configurations and codebook subset restrictions through higher layer signaling (eg, RRC message). The CSI-RS resource configuration may be indicated by a resource setting in the RRC, and the codebook restricted subset may be indicated by a reporting setting in the RRC message. The reporting setting can be used to indicate the CSI that needs to be fed back (or reported) and the resources used by the feedback CSI. The resource setting and the reporting setting may have a corresponding relationship, and the correspondence between the two may be indicated by a link. After receiving the RRC message in advance, the terminal device may determine, according to the resource setting, the reporting setting, and the link, the correspondence between the multiple CSI-RS resources and the plurality of codebook subset restrictions, that is, multiple resources are obtained. The index of the setting, the index of the plurality of reporting settings, and the mapping relationship of the one-to-one correspondence of the plurality of indexes that can be carried in the CSI request field. The network device can indicate an index of a resource setting and an index of a reporting setting through an index. Thereafter, the terminal device may determine the indicated resource setting and reporting setting according to the CSI request field in the received DCI and the pre-acquired mapping relationship, and further determine the CSI-RS resource and the reporting setting corresponding to the resource setting indicated in the DCI. The corresponding codebook subset. As described above, the downlink control information has a one-to-one correspondence with the network device, and the CSI-RS resource and the codebook subset determined by the terminal device according to the downlink control information are also used by the network device that sends the downlink control information. CSI-RS resources and codebook subsets.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may perform different types of CSI measurement according to the quantity of downlink control information received within a preset time period. Specifically, the terminal device may perform step 220 (including 2201 or step 2202) described below.

In step 220, a downlink control information is received in the preset time period, and the terminal device performs CSI measurement based on only the measurement information carried in one downlink control information, otherwise, based on at least two received in the preset time period. The measurement information carried in the downlink control information is subjected to each CSI measurement.

In a possible implementation, the terminal device may use the time when the downlink control information is received for the first time as the starting time, and the time when the starting time extends backward for a preset time period may be used as the ending time, where the starting time is The time interval to the end time is a preset time period. For convenience of distinction, it can be understood as the first preset time period. The terminal device can receive the downlink control information from the network device in real time. After the end of a preset time period, the time when the terminal device receives the downlink control information again can be regarded as the start time of the next preset time period, and is received again. The downlink control information can be regarded as the first downlink control information of the next preset time period. The time from the start time to the back of the preset time period can be used as the end time. The time interval from the start time to the end time is a preset time period. For the sake of distinction, it can be understood as the last preset time period. The next preset time period. In other words, the starting time of one preset time period may be the time when the first downlink control information is received after the end time of the last preset time period.

In another possible implementation manner, the terminal device may directly use the time domain resource defined by the communication system as the preset time period. For example, a time unit defined by the communication system is taken as a preset time period. The time unit may be, for example, a subframe, a slot, a radio frame, a mini slot or a sub slot, a plurality of aggregated slots, a plurality of aggregated subframes, symbols, and the like, and even It may be a transmission time interval (TTI), which is not limited in this application. For example, the preset time period can be one time slot defined in the communication system.

The terminal device may receive only one downlink control information or multiple downlink control information within a preset time period. The terminal device can selectively perform one or both of the following steps 2201 or 2202 according to the number of downlink control information received within a preset period of time.

It should be noted that the size of the preset time period may be that the network device notifies the terminal device in advance, for example, the terminal device is notified by the network device, and may be predefined, for example, a protocol definition.

Optionally, the preset time period may be one or more time units. For example, the size of the preset time period is one or more time slots.

It should be understood that the size of each time unit enumerated above may be defined according to the LTE protocol or the NR protocol, or may be defined according to a future protocol. The size of the time unit is not limited in this application. It should be understood that the size of the preset time period listed above is only an exemplary description, and should not be construed as limiting the present application. The size of the preset time period is not limited.

In the preset time period, if the terminal device receives M (M≥2, M is an integer) downlink control information, the M downlink control information may be from M network devices, in other words, the M downlink control information and The M network devices may have a one-to-one correspondence, and each network device may send one downlink control information, and the downlink control information sent by each network device may carry measurement information for CSI measurement. For example, the measurement information carried in the downlink control information sent by the network device #1 in FIG. 1 includes at least the indication information of the CSI-RS resource configuration, to indicate the resource location of the CSI-RS sent by the network device #1, or Indicates the resource location where the CSI-RS is received.

In step 2201, a plurality of downlink control information is received in a preset time period, and the terminal device performs each CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information received in the preset time period.

Specifically, the terminal device may perform each CSI measurement according to the measurement information carried by the downlink control information of N (M≥N≥2, N is an integer) of the M downlink control information received in the preset time period, and obtain multiple CSIs. Each CSI of the multiple CSIs may be obtained by performing CSI measurement based on measurement information carried by at least two downlink control information received in the preset time period. The plurality of CSIs may be obtained by performing CSI measurement on a plurality of network devices, where the plurality of network devices may be network devices corresponding to some or all of the N downlink control information. Also, the number of downlink control information on which any two CSI measurements are based may be different. That is to say, in the multiple CSI measurement, the value of the number N of downlink control information on which it is based may be different.

In addition, the terminal device may perform multiple CSI measurements for multiple downlink control information received in a preset time period, and each CSI measurement may be a measurement carried based on at least two downlink control information of the multiple downlink control information. Information is performed, that is, each CSI measurement may be a CSI measurement for one of a plurality of network devices.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the terminal device receives the M downlink control information within the preset time period, the terminal device may be configured to receive the downlink control information from the M network devices within the preset time period. The terminal device may perform each CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the N downlink control information of the M downlink control information. For ease of differentiation and illustration, the plurality of network devices may include, for example, a first network device and a second network device.

That is, step 210 may specifically include:

Step 2101: The terminal device receives downlink control information from the first network device within a preset time period.

Step 2102: The terminal device receives downlink control information from the second network device within a preset time period.

After the first network device and the second network device respectively send downlink control information to the terminal device, it is possible to send the CSI-RS based on the CSI-RS resources indicated in the downlink control information that is sent separately, so that the terminal device performs CSI measurement, thereby Prepare for subsequent resource scheduling, etc. When a plurality of network devices respectively send a CSI-RS to a terminal device, for any one of the plurality of network devices, the CSI-RS sent by the other network device may become an interference signal of the network device. For example, the CSI-RS sent by the first network device may become an interference signal of the second network device, and the CSI-RS sent by the second network device may become an interference signal of the first network device. Therefore, the terminal device may perform CSI measurement on the multiple network devices to obtain multiple CSIs to be fed back to multiple network devices, and each CSI in the multiple CSIs may be based on measurements carried in the multiple downlink control information. Information is measured.

It should be understood that the above and the accompanying drawings are only for convenience of description, and the first network device and the second network device are taken as an example to describe a process in which multiple network devices send downlink control information and CSI-RS to the terminal device, but this should not be The application constitutes any limitation, and the terminal device may also receive downlink control information sent by more or less network devices within a preset time period. The number of the network device that sends the downlink control information to the terminal device is not limited, or the number of the downlink control information received by the terminal device is not limited.

In step 2201, the terminal device may perform each CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the N downlink control information. Specifically, the terminal device may perform CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the N downlink control information for the mth (0<m≤M) downlink control information of the M downlink control information. Here, the mth downlink control information of the M downlink control information and the nth downlink control information of the N downlink control information may have a corresponding relationship.

For example, the terminal device receives five downlink control information in a preset time period, that is, M=5. For convenience of distinction and description, the terminal device is respectively recorded as: downlink control information #1, downlink control information #2, and downlink control information. #3, downlink control information #4 and downlink control information #5. The terminal device may perform CSI measurement based on three downlink control information of the five downlink control information, that is, N=3. The downlink control information may be downlink control information #1, downlink control information #3, and downlink control information #5 among the five downlink control information. The terminal device may associate the mth of the M downlink control information with the nth of the N downlink control information according to a preset rule. For example, according to the number of the downlink control information, the downlink control information #1 of the five downlink control information is the first downlink control information of the five downlink control information, and the downlink of the five downlink control information. Control information #2 is the second downlink control information among the five downlink control information, and so on. Similarly, the downlink control information #1 of the three downlink control information is the first downlink control information of the three downlink control information, and the downlink control information #3 of the three downlink control information is the third The second downlink control information of the downlink control information, and the downlink control information #5 of the three downlink control information is the third downlink control information of the three downlink control information. In other words, the first downlink control information of the N downlink control information is the first downlink control information of the M downlink control information, and the second downlink control information of the N downlink control information is the The third downlink control information of the M downlink control information, and the third downlink control information of the N downlink control information is the fifth downlink control information of the M downlink control information. It should be understood that the above examples are only for ease of understanding, and should not constitute any limitation to the present application. The present application is between the nth and Mth downlink control information for determining N downlink control information. The rules of the correspondence are not limited.

Wherein, m may take one or more values in [1, M], that is, the terminal device may perform CSI measurement separately for one or more of the M downlink control information, or the terminal device may target the M One or more of the M network devices corresponding to the downlink control information respectively perform CSI measurement; m may also take each value of [1, M], that is, the terminal device may be for M downlink control Each of the downlink control information in the information is subjected to CSI measurement, or the terminal device can perform CSI measurement for each of the M network devices, which is not limited in this application.

The CSI-RS resource indicated by the downlink control information except the nth downlink control information may be used as the nth downlink control information in the process of performing CSI measurement on the nth downlink control information. Interference measurement resources of the indicated CSI-RS resources. The CSI-RS resources indicated by the remaining N-1 downlink control except the nth downlink control information of the N downlink control information may be the interference measurement resources of the CSI-RS resources indicated by the nth downlink control information. In other words, in the process of performing CSI measurement on the nth downlink control information based on the measurement information carried in the N downlink control information, M-1 except the nth downlink control information in the N downlink control information Some or all of the CSI-RS resources indicated by the downlink control information may be interference measurement resources of the CSI-RS resources indicated by the nth downlink control information.

In the present application, for convenience of distinction, CSI measurement combined with measurement information carried in multiple downlink control information may be referred to as multi-site based CSI measurement. Multi-site based CSI measurements can be understood as a type of measurement of CSI.

In particular, the terminal device may perform CSI measurements in conjunction with CSI-RS from a certain network device (eg, the first network device) and CSI-RS from one or more other network devices (eg, the second network device). If the CSI measurement is a CSI measurement for the first network device, the measured CSI is fed back to the first network device. For the first network device, the CSI-RS from the second network device can be considered an interference signal. The terminal device may perform CSI measurement according to the CSI-RS resource of the first network device and the CSI-RS resource of the second network device, and obtain a CSI to be fed back, for example, a CQI.

Further, the terminal device may perform CSI measurement in combination with the codebook subset indicated by the multiple downlink control information. When the terminal device receives the M downlink control information, the terminal device may perform CSI measurement based on the codebook subset indicated by at least two downlink control information of the M downlink control information. In the M downlink control information, part or all of the CSI-RS resources indicated by the remaining M-1 downlink control information except the nth downlink control information of the N downlink control information may be the nth downlink. The interference measurement resource of the CSI-RS resource indicated by the control information. The codebook subset indicated by the downlink control information except the nth downlink control information in the N downlink control information may be used to precode the CSI-RS as the interference signal, and the nth of the N downlink control information The codebook subset indicated by the downlink control information may be used to precode the CSI-RS carried on the CSI-RS resource indicated by the nth downlink control information. Specifically, the terminal device may perform precoding on the interference signal by traversing the codebook subset indicated by the N-1 downlink control information except the nth downlink control information, and traverse the indication indicated by the nth downlink control information. The codebook subset precodes the CSI-RS corresponding to the nth downlink control information. The corresponding relationship between the nth downlink control information and the mth downlink control information of the M downlink control information has been described in detail above with reference to the examples, and details are not described herein again. By taking a value for m in [1, M], for example, m can take one or more values in [1, M], or take each value in [1, M] to determine the optimal The precoding matrix, ie the CSI to be fed back, eg PMI.

It should be noted that the number of downlink control information used to determine the interference measurement resource and the number of downlink control information corresponding to the codebook subset used for precoding the interference signal may be the same or different.

For example, the terminal device may send a CSI-RS to the first network device according to a codebook subset of the first network device (referred to as a first codebook subset for convenience of distinction and description) (for convenience of distinction and description, for example, Performing precoding on the first CSI-RS to obtain a pre-coded first CSI-RS, and according to the codebook subset of the second network device (for convenience of distinction and description, recorded as the second codebook subset) The CSI-RS transmitted by the second network device (for convenience of distinction and description, for example, referred to as a second CSI-RS) is precoded to obtain a precoded second CSI-RS. Thereafter, the pre-coded first CSI-RS is used as the pre-coded second CSI-RS interference signal, and the pre-coded second CSI-RS is used as the pre-coded first CSI-RS as the pre-coded Interleaving the first CSI-RS interference signal to calculate a CQI corresponding to the first network device and a CQI corresponding to the second network device, respectively, by traversing the first codebook subset and the second codebook subset, respectively Determining a precoding matrix in the first codebook subset and a precoding matrix in the second codebook subset respectively used when the CQI corresponding to the two network devices is optimal, and respectively feeding the two precoding matrices to Network equipment.

It should be noted that the foregoing first network device and the second network device are named only for convenience of distinction, and should not be construed as limiting the application. The first network device and the second network device may be opposite. The first network device may be a network device for which the terminal device performs CSI measurement, and may be any one of the network devices in the collaboration set. After determining the first network device, The second network device may be one or more network devices in the collaboration set other than the first network device. Here, a collaboration set can be understood as a set of potential network devices that may subsequently perform data transmission with the terminal device.

For example, in the wireless communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1, if the network device #1, the network device #2, and the network device #3 transmit the CSI-RS to the terminal device for a certain period of time, that is, Network device #1, network device #2, and network device #3 may transmit data with the terminal device in the future. The terminal device can perform CSI measurement for the network device #1, the network device #2, and the network device #3, respectively. If the CSI measurement is performed for the network device #1, the network device #1 may be the first network device, and the network device #2 and the network device #3 may be the second network device; if the CSI measurement is performed for the network device #2, the network Device #2 may be the first network device, network device #1 and network device #3 may be the second network device; and so on.

If the terminal device performs CSI measurement for the network device #1, the CSI-RS from the network device #1 can be used as a target signal, and the CSI-RS from the network device #2 and the network device #3 can be used as an interference signal to perform CSI. The CSI measured by the CSI measurement is the CSI fed back to the network device #1. Here, the network device #1 can be understood as an example of the first network device, and the network device #2 and the network device #3 can be understood as two examples of the second network device.

When the terminal device receives the multiple downlink control information in the preset time period, optionally, each downlink control information of the multiple downlink control information carries a reporting setting. That is, each downlink control information may carry an indication information of a resource setting and an indication information of a reporting setting, wherein the resource setting and the reporting setting may be indicated by the same indication information.

Optionally, only one of the plurality of downlink control information carries multiple reporting settings. That is, each downlink control information may carry a resource setting indication information, but only one downlink control information may carry multiple indication information of the reporting setting, and the indication information of the multiple reporting settings is used to indicate multiple The reporting setting may be in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of network devices corresponding to the multiple downlink control information, and may be used to indicate CSI and feedback CSI resources that need to be fed back to the multiple network devices respectively. Optionally, the multiple reporting settings may also be used to indicate multiple CSRs, which may be in one-to-one correspondence with multiple network devices, and the codebook subset used by each network device may be indicated by one CSR.

Optionally, only one downlink control information of the multiple downlink control information carries a reporting setting. That is, each downlink control information may carry a resource setting indication information, but only one downlink control information (referred to as downlink control information #A for convenience of distinction and description) may carry a reporting information of a reporting setting. The reporting information of the reporting setting indicates a reporting setting, and the reporting setting may be used to indicate CSI that needs to be fed back (for example, including but not limited to one or more of PMI, CQI, or RI) and resources for feeding back CSI, that is, for The type of CSI reported by each network device may be the same, and the CSI measured by the multiple network devices may be fed back to the same network device by using the indicated resource of the feedback CSI, for example, sending the downlink control information. A network device. Optionally, the reporting setting may also be used to indicate a CSR, that is, multiple network devices may use the same codebook subset.

It should be noted that, when the terminal device receives multiple downlink control information in a preset time period, each CSI measurement may be performed based on the measurement information carried in the multiple downlink control information, that is, the CSI measurement based on multiple sites. The CSI measurement may also be independently performed based on the measurements carried in each of the plurality of downlink control information, that is, based on the single site CSI measurement. Thereby, more CSI feedback can be obtained to the network device, so that the network device determines a reasonable transmission scheme and scheduling strategy.

In step 2202, a downlink control information is received in the preset time period, and the terminal device performs CSI measurement based only on the measurement information carried in the one downlink control information.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the terminal device receives a downlink control information within a preset time period, the terminal device may be considered to receive only one network device within a preset time period (for convenience of distinction and description, the first Downlink control information of the three network devices.

That is, step 210 may specifically include:

Step 2103: The terminal device receives downlink control information from the third network device within a preset time period.

That is to say, the terminal device may only transmit data with this network device in the next time period, so the terminal device may only receive the CSI-RS from the third network device. For the third network device, the signals of other network devices are considered to be noise signals. Therefore, the terminal device may perform CSI measurement on the third network device to obtain CSI to be fed back, and the CSI may be measured based on measurement information carried in only one downlink control information.

In the present application, for convenience of distinction, CSI measurement based on measurement information carried in one downlink control information may be referred to as single-site based CSI measurement. Single site based CSI measurements can be understood as another type of measurement of CSI.

It should be noted that the foregoing third network device is named only for facilitating the distinction between the first network device and the second network device in the above, and should not be construed as limiting the application. The third network device is not associated with the first network device and the second network device. The third network device may be any one of the wireless communication systems that transmits downlink control information to the terminal device.

For example, in the wireless communication system 100 shown in FIG. 1, if the terminal device receives only downlink control information from the network device #1 within a preset time period, the network device #1 may be the third network device. one example. If the network device #3 transmits the CSI-RS to the terminal device at a certain time period, that is, the network device #3 may transmit data with the terminal device in the next time period, the terminal device may perform CSI measurement for the network device #3.

It should be understood that the above is only a detailed description of step 2201 and step 2202 in conjunction with the network device in FIG. 1 for ease of understanding and explanation, but this should not constitute any limitation to the present application. For example, the terminal device may also receive downlink control information from more or less network devices within a preset time period. Regardless of which network device the downlink control information received by the terminal device is received within the preset time period, the terminal device may perform CSI measurement according to the method described in step 2201 or step 2202 above.

Based on the foregoing technical solution, the terminal device may perform CSI measurement by using different measurement types according to the number of downlink control signals received within a preset time period. Therefore, the network equipment does not need additional signaling overhead to indicate various interference measurement assumptions, but the terminal device autonomously determines the measurement type, which can greatly save signaling overhead. Moreover, the measurement type thus determined can obtain more accurate CSI feedback to the network device, thereby facilitating the network device to determine a reasonable transmission scheme and scheduling strategy, that is, improving the reliability of data transmission and improving system performance.

Optionally, the method 200 further includes: determining, by the terminal device, the quantity of downlink control information received in the preset time period according to the received signal strength of the downlink control information and the preset threshold.

When the terminal device receives the downlink control information, it may incorrectly receive the downlink control information sent to other terminal devices, and mistype the received downlink control information as the downlink control information sent to itself, and counts into the preset time period. Among the number of downlink control signals received, this may cause the terminal device to make an error in the selection of the measurement type. In this case, the terminal device may not receive the CSI-RS transmitted by the network device corresponding to the downlink control information. That is to say, the downlink control information that the terminal device incorrectly receives should not be included in the number of downlink control signals received within the preset time period. To prevent the terminal device from selecting the wrong measurement type for CSI measurement, the terminal device may determine the number of downlink control signals received within the preset time period according to the received signal strength of the downlink control information and the preset threshold.

Specifically, when the signal strength of the downlink control information received by the terminal device in the preset time period is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, the received downlink control information may be included in the downlink received within the preset time period. In the quantity of control information; when the signal strength of a certain downlink control information received by the terminal device in the preset time period is less than the preset threshold, the received downlink control signal may be ignored, and is not counted in the preset time period. The number of downlink control information received within.

The preset threshold may be determined by the network device after the network device determines the signaling, or may be predefined, for example, a protocol definition. The method for determining the preset threshold and the value are not limited.

It should be understood that determining, by the terminal device, the number of downlink control information received within the preset time period according to the signal strength and the preset threshold of the downlink control signal is only one possible implementation manner, and should not be construed as limiting the present application. The terminal device may also determine the number of downlink control information received within the preset time period based on other methods.

Optionally, the method 200 further includes: the terminal device receiving the first indication information, where the first indication information indicates whether to perform CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information.

In other words, the first indication information indicates whether the CSI measurement is performed based on the measurement information carried in the downlink control information, or the first indication information indicates whether the CSI measurement is performed based on the measurement information carried in the downlink control information or based on at least The measurement information carried in the two downlink control information is subjected to CSI measurement.

Alternatively, the first indication information can be used to indicate the type of measurement. The measurement type may include single site based CSI measurement or multi-site based CSI measurement, wherein in single site based CSI measurement, CSI measurement is performed based on measurement information carried in one downlink control information, based on multi-site CSI measurement Each CSI measurement is performed based on measurement information carried in multiple downlink control information.

In this embodiment, the first indication information may be sent by any one of the network devices that have a communication connection with the terminal device, for example, a network device that has established an RRC connection with the terminal device. Optionally, the first indication information may be carried by one or more signaling messages in an RRC message, a media access control (MAC) control element (CE), or downlink control information. The terminal device may perform corresponding CSI measurement according to the measurement type indicated by the first indication information.

In a possible design, the first indication information may be an indication bit. For example, the network device and the terminal device may pre-arrange, when the indication bit is set to “1”, indicate that the measurement type is CSI measurement based on measurement information carried in at least two downlink control information, or, based on multi-site CSI. Measurement; when the indication bit is set to "0", the measurement type is indicated as CSI measurement based on measurement information carried in one downlink control information, or based on single site CSI measurement. It should be understood that one possible form of the first indication information is schematically given here for ease of understanding, but this should not constitute any limitation to the application, and the first indication information may also be in other forms to indicate the measurement type. , for example, indicated by different fields in the same signaling, and so on.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may select a measurement type to perform CSI measurement according to the number of downlink control information received in the preset time period and the first indication information. Specifically, if the terminal device receives multiple downlink control information within a preset time period, and the measurement type indicated by the first indication information is CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information, the terminal device may The CSI measurement is performed according to the measurement information carried in the received multiple downlink control information; if the terminal device receives a downlink control information within a preset time period, and the measurement type indicated by the first indication information is carried in a downlink control information. The CSI measurement of the measurement information, the terminal device may perform the CSI measurement according to the measurement information carried in the received downlink control information; if the terminal device receives the multiple downlink control information within the preset time period, the first indication The measurement type indicated by the information is CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the downlink control information, and the terminal device may separately perform CSI measurement based on the measurement information in each of the received downlink control information. That is, CSI measurement is performed separately for each downlink control information; Receiving a downlink control information in a preset time period, and the measurement type indicated by the first indication information is a CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information, the terminal device may combine the previously received another The CSI measurement is performed by one or more downlink control information, or the terminal device may wait for another downlink control information received subsequently for CSI measurement.

In a possible implementation, the terminal device may determine downlink control information received before or after the preset time period according to a predetermined duration threshold. Specifically, it is assumed that the terminal device receives only one downlink control information in the preset time period #1, but the measurement type indicated by the network device is CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information, the terminal device may Extending a time duration threshold at a starting time of the preset time period #1, and performing one or more downlink control information received in the time period covered by the time length threshold to perform CSI measurement; or, the terminal device may be in a preset time period The end time of #1 is extended backward by a duration threshold, and the CSI measurement is performed in combination with one or more downlink control information received during the period covered by the duration threshold.

If the terminal device does not receive the downlink control information in the period covered by the duration threshold that extends forward or backward, the CSI measurement may be performed based on the measurement information carried in the downlink control information, or may not be measured.

It should be understood that the foregoing duration threshold may be previously notified by the network device to the terminal device, or may be determined by the terminal device, or may be predefined, for example, a protocol definition, which is not limited in this application.

Therefore, the terminal device can perform CSI measurement according to the measurement type indicated by the network device, so that the autonomy of the network device is enhanced, and the network device can instruct the terminal device to perform corresponding CSI measurement according to the current requirement, so that the network device determines a reasonable transmission. The scheme and scheduling strategy are conducive to improving the reliability of data transmission.

Optionally, the method 200 further includes:

Step 230: The terminal device sends CSI, and the CSI is measured based on measurement information carried in one or at least two downlink control information.

Specifically, the terminal device can carry the CSI through the CSI report. The terminal device may specifically feed back the CSI to the network device by using any one of the implementation manners provided below. To facilitate the distinguishing and description, the CSI reports involved in the different implementation manners are respectively the first CSI report and the second CSI report. It should be understood that the first CSI report and the second CSI report are named only for facilitating different feedback modes, and should not constitute any limitation on the order of CSI transmission, the number of CSIs, and the like.

Implementation one:

In one possible implementation, the CSI report (e.g., referred to as the first CSI report) can include a first field that can be used to carry one or more CSIs. In the one or more CSIs carried in the first field, each CSI may be measured based on measurement information carried in one downlink control information, that is, CSI based on single site CSI measurement; or may be based on at least two The measurement information carried in the downlink control information is measured, that is, the CSI obtained based on the CSI measurement of the multi-site.

In this implementation, regardless of which measurement type CSI is used for measurement, it can be carried in the same field. Since the CSI measurement may be based on CSI measurement of measurement information carried in one downlink control information, it may also be CSI measurement based on measurement information carried by at least two downlink control information, but the network device may not know that the CSI measurement is received. The CSI is measured by which measurement type is adopted, and therefore, the terminal device can indicate the measurement type of the CSI measurement while feeding back the CSI. Specifically, the terminal device may indicate, by means of an explicit indication or an implicit indication, the measurement type of the CSI carried in the first field to the network device.

A, explicit instructions:

Optionally, the first CSI report may further include a second field, where the second field is used to indicate a measurement type on which the CSI carried in the first field is based. For example, the second field may be an indication field of one bit. When the indication field is set to “1”, the CSI carried by the first field may be measured based on measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information; When the field is set to "0", the CSI carried by the first field is measured based on the measurement information carried in the downlink control information.

In this implementation manner, the terminal device may carry the CSIs of the two measurement types in the same field, and indicate the measurement type by using an indication bit pre-agreed with the network device, and the network device receives the first At the time of CSI, a reasonable transmission scheme and scheduling policy can be determined according to the measurement type indicated in the second field and the CSI carried in the first field.

Further, when the CSI is fed back, the terminal device may determine a resource for feeding back CSI according to the information received in advance, and send the CSI on the resource of the feedback CSI. For example, the terminal device may determine the resource for feeding back the CSI according to the CSI reporting setting indicated by the downlink control information received in step 210. As described above, each downlink control information may carry the indication information of one CSI reporting setting, or may carry the indication information of multiple CSI reporting settings through only one downlink control information, or may only pass one downlink control information. Carry a CSI reporting setting.

If each downlink control information carries the indication information of the CSI reporting setting, each downlink control information may indicate a resource that feeds back the CSI, and the terminal device may feed back the corresponding CSI based on the resource of the feedback CSI indicated by each downlink control information. For example, the CSI measured for the nth downlink control information is reported by the CSI feedback resource indicated in the nth downlink control information.

If the downlink control information carries the indication information of the multiple CSI reporting settings, the downlink control information may be used to indicate the resources of the multiple feedback CSIs, and the resources of the multiple feedback CSIs may be corresponding to the multiple CSIs, and the terminal device may The corresponding CSI is fed back on the resources of each feedback CSI.

If the information about the CSI reporting setting is carried by the downlink control information, the downlink control information may indicate a resource that feeds back the CSI, and the terminal device may pass the CSI obtained by each CSI measurement through the feedback indicated by the downlink control information. CSI resources are reported.

In other words, when the terminal device can feed back the CSI to the network device, the CSI measured by the network device can be fed back to the network device, for example, the CSI measured for the first network device is fed back to the first network. The device may also feed back the CSI measured by the one or more network devices to the same network device, where the network device may be a network device indicating the resource for feeding back the CSI, and the CSI may be separately sent to the CSI through the network device. Network device corresponding to each CSI. For example, the CSI measured separately for the first network device and the second network device is fed back to the serving network device.

Optionally, step 230 specifically includes:

The terminal device sends a plurality of first CSI reports, where the first field in each of the first CSI reports includes a CSI, and the CSI may be based on measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information. The measurement is obtained, or it may be measured based on measurement information carried in a downlink control information.

That is, step 230 specifically includes one or more steps of step 2301, step 2302, and step 2303:

Step 2301, the terminal device sends a first CSI report to the first network device, where the first CSI report carries the CSI measured for the first network device (for convenience of distinction and description, it is recorded as CSI#1);

Step 2302: The terminal device sends a first CSI report to the second network device, where the CSI (for CSC#2) is measured for the second network device.

Or, step 230 specifically includes:

Step 2303: The terminal device sends a first CSI report to the third network device, where the first CSI report carries the CSI measured for the third network device (referred to as CSI#3 for convenience of distinction and description).

The foregoing CSI (including, for example, CSI #1, CSI #2, and CSI #3) may be measured based on measurement information carried in at least two downlink control information, or may be measured based on measurement information carried in one downlink control information. get.

It should be understood that, in the above and in the drawings, for convenience of understanding, the first network device, the second network device, and the third network device are taken as an example, and the terminal device is schematically shown to the first network device and the second network, respectively. The step of transmitting the CSI by the device and the third network device, but this should not constitute any limitation to the application. In an actual execution process, the terminal device may perform one or more steps in steps 2301 to 2303, and may also perform the steps. More steps from 2301 to 2303, for example, sending CSI to more network devices.

It should also be understood that the specific steps of the terminal device feeding back the CSI to the network device in one implementation manner are exemplarily shown in the figure, but this should not constitute any limitation to the application, and the specific method for the terminal device to feed back the CSI to the network device It is not limited to the steps shown in the figures.

When the terminal device sends the multiple first CSI reports, the first field in each first CSI report may carry a CSI measured based on one or more downlink control information.

A possible situation is that the terminal device receives multiple downlink control information within a preset time period, the network device does not indicate the measurement type, or the network device indicates that the measurement type is based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information. For the CSI measurement, the terminal device may perform CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information of the multiple downlink control information, and report the CSI corresponding to each network device to each network device.

In another possible case, the terminal device receives multiple downlink control information within a preset time period, and the network device indicates that the measurement type is CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in one downlink control information, and the terminal device is based on each The CSI measurement is performed on the measurement information carried in the downlink control information, and the CSI corresponding to each network device is reported to each network device.

A further possible situation is that the terminal device receives multiple downlink control information within a preset time period, but the terminal device may perform CSI measurement and feedback only for the network device corresponding to one of the downlink control information, the CSI measurement. The CSI measurement may be based on the measurement information carried in the downlink control information, or may be the CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information, and the measured result may be reported to the network device for each measurement. It is to be understood that the above list may be merely illustrative for ease of understanding and should not be construed as limiting.

Alternatively, optionally, step 230 specifically includes:

The terminal device sends a first CSI report, where the first field in the first CSI report may include at least one CSI measured based on measurement information carried by one downlink control information, or at least one is carried based on at least two downlink control information. The measured information is measured by the CSI obtained.

A possible situation is that the terminal device receives a downlink control information within a preset time period, the network device does not indicate the measurement type, or the network device indicates that the measurement type is a CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in one downlink control information, The terminal device performs CSI-based measurement based on the measurement information carried in the one downlink control information. In this case, the terminal device may feed back the measured CSI to the network device or feed back to the same network device, for example, the serving network device.

Another possible situation is that the terminal device receives multiple downlink control information in a preset time period, the network device does not indicate the measurement type, or the network device indicates that the measurement type is based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information. The CSI measurement, the terminal device performs CSI-based measurement based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information received in the preset time period; and another possibility is that the terminal device receives more than the preset time period. The downlink control information, the network device indicates that the measurement type is CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in one downlink control information, and the terminal device separately performs CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in each downlink control information. In the two cases, when the terminal device receives the multiple downlink control information in the preset time period, the terminal device may perform the CSI measurement based on the single site based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information received in the preset time period. Or performing multi-site based CSI measurement, the measured CSI can be fed back to the same network device, for example, a service network device.

For example, assume that the terminal device performs multi-site based CSI measurement for the first network device and the second network device, respectively, obtaining CSI #1 for the first network device and CSI #2 for the second network device. The terminal device may carry both CSI #1 and CSI #2 in a first field of a first CSI report, and send the first CSI report to a serving network device of the terminal device. Alternatively, the terminal device may carry the CSI #1 in the first CSI report sent to the first network device, and carry the CSI #2 in the first CSI report sent to the second network device.

Assuming that the terminal device performs single-site based CSI measurement only for the third network device, CSI #3 for the third network device is obtained. The terminal device may carry the CSI #3 in the first field of the first CSI report, and send the first CSI report to the third network device, or to the serving network device.

It should be understood that the above list of several possible scenarios is merely for ease of understanding, but this should not be construed as limiting the application.

B. Implicit instructions:

The first field in the first CSI report may be used to carry CSI measured based on measurement information carried in at least two downlink control information, that is, CSI based on multi-site CSI measurement, or the first field may be used for Carrying a predefined value; the predefined value is used to implicitly indicate that the terminal device does not perform CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information.

In this implementation, the terminal device may only report the CSI measured by the multi-site CSI measurement, and when the CSI measurement is performed based on the single site, the terminal device may be implicitly indicated by the predefined value pre-defined with the network device. The resulting CSI is not based on multi-site CSI measurements, ie, CSI based on single-site CSI measurements is not reported.

Further, the number of CSIs carried in the first field may be one or more, which is not limited in this application. When the terminal device feeds back the CSI to the network device, the CSI measured by the network device may be fed back to the network device, for example, the CSI measured by the first network device is fed back to the first network device; The CSIs respectively measured for one or more network devices may be fed back to the same network device, for example, the CSIs respectively measured for the first network device and the second network device are fed back to the serving network device.

Optionally, step 230 specifically includes:

The terminal device sends a first CSI report, where the first CSI report includes a first field, where the first field includes at least one CSI measured based on the at least two downlink control information, or a predefined value; the predefined value implicitly indicates The terminal device does not perform CSI measurement based on the measurements carried in the at least two downlink control information. In other words, if the first field carries a predefined value, it indicates that the terminal device may perform single-site based CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in one downlink control information. In this case, the terminal device may not report the CSI measured based on the single station CSI.

Optionally, step 230 specifically includes:

The terminal device sends a plurality of first CSI reports, where each of the first CSI reports includes a first field, where the first field includes a measurement information that is carried based on the at least two downlink control information. CSI, or a predefined value; the predefined value implicitly indicates that the terminal device does not perform CSI measurement based on the measurements carried in the at least two downlink control information.

In the implicit indication mode, the specific process of the terminal device feeding back the CSI to the network device is similar to the specific process of the terminal device feeding back the CSI to the network device in the manner of displaying the indication. The specific process has been detailed in the above. For the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

Implementation method 2

In another possible implementation, the CSI report (for example, recorded as the second CSI report) may include a third field and a fourth field, where the third field may be used to carry measurement information carried based on one or at least two downlink control information. The measured CSI, that is, CSI based on single-site CSI measurement or CSI based on multi-site CSI measurement, the fourth field is only used to carry CSI measured based on measurement information carried by one downlink control information, that is, CSI based on single site CSI measurements.

In the above, when the terminal device receives the plurality of downlink control information in the preset time period, the terminal device may perform the multi-site based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information received in the preset time period. The CSI measurement can also perform single-site based CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in each downlink control information. In this case, the CSI measured based on the multi-site CSI may be carried in the third field, and the CSI obtained based on the CSI measurement of the single station may be carried in the fourth field.

The CSI obtained by the CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the downlink control information in the fourth field may be pre-agreed by the network device and the terminal device, and the network device may receive the second CSI. By default, the CSI in the fourth field is obtained based on single site CSI measurements. Since the network device may not know whether the CSI carried in the third field in the received second CSI report is based on single-site CSI measurement or multi-site based CSI measurement, the network device may feedback CSI. At the same time, the measurement type on which the CSI carried by the third field is based is indicated. Specifically, the terminal device may indicate, by means of an explicit indication or an implicit indication, the measurement type of the CSI carried in the first field to the network device.

A, explicit instructions:

Optionally, the second CSI report may further include a fifth field, where the fifth field is used to indicate a measurement type on which the CSI carried in the third field is based. For example, the fifth field may be an indication field of one bit. When the indication field is set to “1”, the CSI carried by the third field may be measured based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information, that is, based on The multi-site CSI measurement is obtained. When the indication field is set to “0”, the CSI carried by the third field may be measured based on the measurement information carried in the downlink control information, that is, based on the single-site CSI measurement.

In this implementation manner, the terminal device may carry the CSI measured based on the two measurement types in the second CSI report, and indicate the measurement type by using an indication bit pre-agreed with the network device, and the network device is receiving. When the second CSI report is received, a reasonable transmission scheme and a scheduling policy may be determined according to the measurement type based on the CSI in the third field indicated in the fifth field and the CSI carried in the third field and the fourth field.

B. Implicit instructions:

The network device and the terminal device may pre-arrange the CSI that preferentially carries the measurement information carried based on the multiple downlink control information in the third field, that is, if the terminal device obtains the CSI through the multi-site based CSI measurement (for convenience, for example, Recorded as CSI#A), the CSI#A is preferentially carried in the third field, and the terminal device can simultaneously obtain the CSI through the single-site based CSI measurement (for convenience of distinction and description, for example, as CSI#B), The CSI #B is carried in the fourth field. If the terminal device does not perform multi-site based CSI measurement, and only obtains CSI (for example, CSI#B) by single-site based CSI measurement, the CSI#B may be simultaneously carried in the third field and the fourth field. . When receiving the second CSI report, the network device may compare the information carried in the third field and the fourth field, and if the information carried in the third field and the fourth field is different, the terminal device is considered to be based on Multi-site CSI measurement, the CSI carried in the third field is obtained based on multi-site CSI measurement; when the information carried in the third field and the fourth field is the same, the terminal device is considered to be based on multi-site For CSI measurements, CSI is obtained only by single site based CSI measurements.

In this implementation, the terminal device does not require additional bit overhead to indicate the type of measurement on which the CSI carried in the third field is based.

Further, the number of CSIs carried in the third field and the fourth field may be one or more, which is not limited in this application. When the terminal device can feed back the CSI to the network device, the CSI measured by the network device can be fed back to the network device, for example, the CSI measured by the first network device is fed back to the first network device; The CSI measured separately for the one or more network devices may also be fed back to the same network device, for example, the CSI measured separately for the first network device and the second network device is fed back to the serving network device.

Optionally, step 230 specifically includes:

The terminal device sends a plurality of second CSI reports, where a third field in each of the second CSI reports is used to carry at least one measurement information carried based on one or at least two downlink control information. The CSI, the fourth field in each second CSI report of the multiple second CSI reports is used to carry at least one CSI measured based on measurement information carried only by one downlink control information.

Optionally, step 230 specifically includes:

The terminal device sends a second CSI report, where the third field in the second CSI report is used to carry multiple CSIs measured based on measurement information carried by one or more downlink control information, and the fourth CSI report The field is used to carry multiple CSIs measured based on measurement information carried by one downlink control information.

It should be understood that the specific process of the terminal device feeding back the CSI to the network device is similar to the specific process of the terminal device feeding back the CSI to the network device in the first manner. The specific process has been described in detail in the above, for the sake of brevity. No longer.

It should be noted that, in step 230, regardless of whether the terminal device sends one or more CSI reports (for example, the first CSI report or the second CSI report), only one CSI report may be received for each network device. One or more CSIs may be carried in the CSI report received by the network device. The one or more CSIs may be CSIs measured based on measurement information carried by one downlink control information, or may be CSIs measured based on measurement information carried by at least two downlink control information.

Optionally, the network device receives the CSI, including:

The network device receives the first CSI report, where the first CSI report includes a first field and a second field, where the first field includes at least one CSI measured according to measurement information carried in one or at least two downlink control information, and the second field Indicates the type of measurement on which the CSI in the first field is based.

Optionally, the network device receives the CSI, including:

The network device receives the first CSI report, where the first CSI report includes a first field, where the first field includes at least one CSI measured according to the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information, or a predefined value; the predefined value is hidden The method indicates that the terminal device does not perform CSI measurement based on the measurement information carried in the at least two downlink control information.

Optionally, the network device receives the CSI, including:

The network device receives the second CSI report, where the second CSI report includes a third field and a fourth field, where the third field is used to carry at least one CSI measured according to measurement information carried by one or at least two downlink control information, and the fourth field It is used to carry at least one CSI measured based on only one CSI-RS resource.

Optionally, the second CSI report further includes a fifth field, where the fifth field indicates a measurement type on which the CSI carried in the third field is based.

Optionally, after step 230, the method 200 further includes:

In step 240, the network device determines the type of measurement on which the received CSI is based.

Specifically, the network device may be the first network device listed above, and the step 240 may include: Step 2401, the first network device may determine a measurement type on which the CSI #1 is based; or the network device may also be In the second network device enumerated above, step 240 may include: step 2402, the second network device may determine the type of measurement on which the CSI #2 is based; or the network device may also be the third network device listed above Step 240 may include, in step 2403, the third network device may determine the type of measurement on which CSI #3 is based.

It should be understood that the steps performed by the first network device, the second network device, and the third network device are respectively shown in the figure for convenience of understanding, but this should not constitute any limitation to the present application. In actual implementation, the network device Only one of steps 2401 to 2403 may be performed.

According to the above description, the terminal device can transmit CSI to one or more network devices. The measurement type on which the CSI received by the network device is based may include: CSI measurement based on measurement information carried by one downlink control information, or CSI measurement based on measurement information carried by multiple downlink control information.

It can be seen in step 230 that the terminal device can send the CSI to the terminal device by using any one of the first CSI report or the second CSI report, and after receiving the CSI from the terminal device in step 230, the network device can a defined indicator field (eg, a second field in the first CSI report or a fifth field in the second CSI report) or a predefined rule (eg, a predefined value in the first CSI report or a second CSI report) The two fields carry the same information to determine the type of measurement on which the received CSI is based.

It should be understood that the foregoing describes how the terminal device indicates the measurement type on which the CSI is based, in combination with different implementation manners. The method for the network device to determine the measurement type on which the CSI is based is similar to the method for the terminal device to indicate the measurement type on which the CSI is based, For the sake of brevity, it will not be repeated here.

It should also be understood that the method for indicating the measurement type of the CSI by the terminal device proposed in the present application is not limited to the scenario provided in the present application, and the CSI is performed when the terminal device is not based on the number of downlink control information received within the preset time period. At the time of measurement, the type of measurement on which the fed back CSI is based may also be indicated to the network device based on a similar method.

Based on the foregoing technical solution, the network device can accurately learn the measurement type on which the CSI is fed back by the terminal device, so that a reasonable transmission scheme and a scheduling policy can be determined according to the CSI and the measurement type fed back by the terminal device, which is beneficial to improving data transmission. reliability.

It should be understood that, in the embodiments of the present application, the size of the sequence numbers of the foregoing processes does not mean the order of execution, and the order of execution of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not be implemented in the embodiment of the present application.

For another example, in step 230, the terminal device may send CSI to other network devices, and may not send CSI to the first to third network devices shown in the figure. Therefore, FIG. 2 is merely a schematic flow chart and should not be construed as limiting the application.
