Cross-Reference to Related Application (s)

This application claims benefit of and priority to International Patent Cooperation Treaty Application No. PCT/CN2018/120197, filed December 11, 2018, which is hereby assigned to the assignee hereof and hereby expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety as if fully set forth below and for all applicable purposes.

BACKGROUND

Field of the Disclosure

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for a basis report for compressed channel state information (CSI) feedback with a non-contiguous frequency resource configuration.

Description of Related Art

Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, broadcasts, etc. These wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc. ) . Examples of such multiple-access systems include 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE Advanced (LTE-A) systems, code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, and time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, to name a few.

These multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different wireless devices to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. New radio (e.g., 5G NR) is an example of an emerging telecommunication standard. NR is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using OFDMA with a cyclic prefix (CP) on the downlink (DL) and on the uplink (UL) . To these ends, NR supports beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation.

However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, there exists a need for further improvements in NR and LTE technology. Preferably, these improvements should be applicable to other multi-access technologies and the telecommunication standards that employ these technologies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for a basis report for compressed channel state information (CSI) feedback with non-contiguous subband configuration.

In some cases, a user equipment (UE) may be configured with non-contiguous frequency resources for CSI reporting. For an enhanced linear combination codebook, which uses frequency domain (FD) compression for providing compressed CSI feedback, a nominal discrete Fourier transform (DFT) based matrix for the FD compression may not match with the configured subbands.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide for using a truncated DFT-based matrix for the FD compression when the UE is configured with non-consecutive subbands. The nominal DFT-based matrix can be truncated based on the subband configuration and number of reported subbands.

Aspects of the present disclosure provide for performing separate compression on contiguous sets of configured subbands when the UE is configured with non-consecutive subbands.

The following description provides examples basis report for compressed CSI feedback with non-contiguous subbands, and is not limiting of the scope, applicability, or examples set forth in the claims. Changes may be made in the function and arrangement of elements discussed without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Various examples may omit, substitute, or add various procedures or components as appropriate. For instance, the methods described may be performed in an order different from that described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. Also, features described with respect to some examples may be combined in some other examples. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method which is practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to, or other than, the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim. The word “exemplary” is used herein to mean “serving as an example, instance, or illustration. ” Any aspect described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects.

In general, any number of wireless networks may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network may support a particular radio access technology (RAT) and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, etc. A frequency may also be referred to as a carrier, a subcarrier, a frequency channel, a tone, a subband, etc. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

The techniques described herein may be used for various wireless networks and radio technologies. While aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with 3G, 4G, and/or 5G wireless technologies, aspects of the present disclosure can be applied in other generation-based communication systems, including later NR technologies.

New radio (NR) access (e.g., 5G NR technology) may support various wireless communication services, such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) targeting wide bandwidth (e.g., 80 MHz or beyond) , millimeter wave (mmW) targeting high carrier frequency (e.g., 25 GHz or beyond) , massive machine type communications MTC (mMTC) targeting non-backward compatible MTC techniques, and/or mission critical targeting ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) . These services may include latency and reliability requirements. These services may also have different transmission time intervals (TTI) to meet respective quality of service (QoS) requirements. In addition, these services may co-exist in the same subframe.

NR may utilize orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) on the uplink and downlink. NR may support half-duplex operation using time division duplexing (TDD) . OFDM and single-carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) partition the system bandwidth into multiple orthogonal subcarriers, which are also commonly referred to as tones, bins, etc. Each subcarrier may be modulated with data. Modulation symbols may be sent in the frequency domain with OFDM and in the time domain with SC-FDM. The spacing between adjacent subcarriers may be fixed, and the total number of subcarriers may be dependent on the system bandwidth. The minimum resource allocation, called a resource block (RB) , may be 12 subcarriers. The system bandwidth may also be partitioned into subbands. For example, a subband may cover multiple RBs. NR may support a base subcarrier spacing (SCS) of 15 KHz and other subcarrier spacing may be defined with respect to the base SCS, for example, 30 kHz, 60 kHz, 120 kHz, 240 kHz, etc. In NR, a subframe is 1 ms, but the basic TTI is referred to as a slot. A subframe contains a variable number of slots (e.g., 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, …slots) depending on the SCS. The symbol, slot, and CP lengths scale with the SCS.

NR supports beamforming and beam direction may be dynamically configured. MIMO transmissions with precoding may also be supported. MIMO configurations in the DL may support up to 8 transmit antennas with multi-layer DL transmissions up to 8 streams and up to 2 streams per UE. Multi-layer transmissions with up to 2 streams per UE may be supported. Aggregation of multiple cells may be supported with up to 8 serving cells.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example wireless communication network 100 in which aspects of the present disclosure may be performed. For example, the wireless communication network 100 may be a 5G NR network.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the wireless communication network 100 may include a number of base stations (BSs) 110a-z (each also individually referred to herein as BS 110 or collectively as BSs 110) and other network entities. A BS 110 may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area, sometimes referred to as a cell, which may be stationary or may move according to the location of a mobile BS 10. The BSs 110a may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other BSs 110 or network nodes (not shown) in wireless communication network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces (e.g., a direct physical connection, a wireless connection, a virtual network, or the like) using any suitable transport network. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the

BSs

110a, 110b and 110c may be macro BSs for the

macro cells

102a, 102b and 102c, respectively. The BS 110x may be a pico BS for a pico cell 102x. The BSs 110y and 110z may be femto BSs for the

femto cells

102y and 102z, respectively. A BS may support one or multiple cells.

A network controller 130 may couple to a set of BSs 110 and provide coordination and control for these BSs 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the BSs 110 via a backhaul. The BSs 110 may also communicate with one another (e.g., directly or indirectly) via wireless or wireline backhaul.

The BSs 110 communicate with UEs 120 a-y (e.g., each also individually referred to herein as UE 120 or collectively as UEs 120) that may be dispersed throughout the wireless communication network 100. Each UE may be stationary or mobile. Wireless communication network 100 may also include relay stations (e.g., relay station 110r) , also referred to as relays or the like, that receive a transmission of data and/or other information from an upstream station (e.g., a BS 110a or a UE 120r) and send a transmission of the data and/or other information to a downstream station (e.g., a UE 120 or a BS 110) , or that relays transmissions between UEs 120, to facilitate communication between devices.

As will be described in more detail below, BSs 110 and UEs 120 in the wireless communication may be configured for CSI reporting. As shown in FIG. 1, the UE 120a includes a CSI manager 122. The CSI manager 122 may be configured to receive a CSI report configuration from the BS 110a. The CSI report configuration configures the UE 120a for reporting at least a subset of precoding matrix information including, a plurality of selected beams, a frequency domain compression matrix for each of the beams at each of a plurality of taps in the time domain, and a subset of a plurality of linear combination coefficients associated with the frequency domain compression matrices and beams. The CSI manager 122 may be configured to receive a configuration of non-contiguous frequency resources for CSI reporting. The CSI manager 122 may be configured to perform frequency compression of the precoding matrix information using a truncated frequency domain compression matrix. The CSI manager 122 may be configured to perform separate frequency compression of the precoding matrix information for each set of contiguous frequency resources. As shown in FIG. 1, the BS 110a includes a CSI manager 112. The CSI manager 112 may be configured to configure the UE 110a with the CSI report configuration; configured the UE 120a with the non-contiguous frequency resource for CSI reporting; receive a CSI report from the UE 20a; and perform frequency decompression to obtain the precoding matrix information using a truncated frequency domain compression matrix and/or using separate frequency domain matrices for each set of contiguous frequency resources.

FIG. 2 illustrates example components of BS 110a and UE 120a (as depicted in FIG. 1) , which may be used to implement aspects of the present disclosure.

At the BS 110a, a transmit processor 220 may receive data from a data source 212 and control information from a controller/processor 240. The control information may be for the physical broadcast channel (PBCH) , physical control format indicator channel (PCFICH) , physical hybrid ARQ indicator channel (PHICH) , physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) , group common PDCCH (GC PDCCH) , etc. The data may be for the physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) , etc. The processor 220 may process (e.g., encode and symbol map) the data and control information to obtain data symbols and control symbols, respectively. The processor 220 may also generate reference symbols, such as for the primary synchronization signal (PSS) , secondary synchronization signal (SSS) , and CSI-RS. A transmit (TX) MIMO processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide output symbol streams to the modulators (MODs) 232a-232t. Each modulator 232 may process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM, etc. ) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator may further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. Downlink signals from modulators 232a-232t may be transmitted via the antennas 234a-234t, respectively.

At the UE 120a, the antennas 252a-252r may receive the downlink signals from the BS 110a and may provide received signals to the demodulators (DEMODs) in transceivers 254a-254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 may condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) a respective received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator may further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM, etc. ) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from all the demodulators 254a-254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate, deinterleave, and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for the UE 120a to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control information to a controller/processor 280.

On the uplink, at UE 120a, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data (e.g., for the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) ) from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) from the controller/processor 280. The transmit processor 264 may also generate reference symbols for a reference signal, such as for the sounding reference signal (SRS) . The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by the demodulators in transceivers 254a-254r (e.g., for SC-FDM, etc. ) , and transmitted to the BS 110a. At the BS 110a, the uplink signals from the UE 120a may be received by the antennas 234, processed by the modulators 232, detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by the UE 120a. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and the decoded control information to the controller/processor 240.

Antennas 252,

processors

266, 258, 264, and/or controller/processor 280 of the UE 120a may direct the operation at the UE 120a. Antennas 234,

processors

220, 230, 238, and/or the processor 240 at the BS 110a may perform or direct the operation at the BS 110a. The

memories

242 and 282 may store data and program codes for BS 110a and UE 120a, respectively. A scheduler 244 may schedule UE 120a for data transmission on the downlink and/or uplink. As shown in FIG. 2, the controller/processor 280 of the UE 120a includes a CSI manager 281 and the controller/processor 240 of the BS 110a includes a CSI manager 241. The CSI manager 281 and the CSI manger 241 may be configured to perform the various techniques and methods described herein for CSI reporting for compressed CSI feedback for non-contiguous frequency resources.

Example CSI Report Configuration

Channel state information (CSI) may refer to channel properties of a communication link. The CSI may represent the combined effects of, for example, scattering, fading, and power decay with distance between a transmitter and receiver. Channel estimation using pilots, such as CSI reference signals (CSI-RS) , may be performed to determine these effects on the channel. CSI may be used to adapt transmissions based on the current channel conditions, which is useful for achieving reliable communication, in particular, with high data rates in multi-antenna systems. CSI is typically estimated at the receiver, quantized, and fed back to the transmitter.

The network (e.g., a base station (BS) ) , may configure user equipment (UEs) for CSI reporting. For example, the BS configures the UE with a CSI report configuration or with multiple CSI report configurations. The CSI report configuration may be provided to the UE via higher layer signaling, such as radio resource control (RRC) signaling. The CSI report configuration may be associated with CSI-RS resources for channel measurement (CM) , interference measurement (IM) , or both. The CSI report configuration configures CSI-RS resources for measurement. The CSI-RS resources provide the UE with the configuration of CSI-RS ports, or CSI-RS port groups, mapped to time and frequency resources (e.g., resource elements (REs) ) . CSI-RS resources can be zero power (ZP) or non-zero power (NZP) resources. At least one NZP CSI-RS resource may be configured for CM.

The CSI report configuration also configures the CSI parameters (sometimes referred to as quantities) to be reported. Three codebooks include Type I single panel, Type I multi-panel, and Type II single panel. Regardless which codebook is used, the CSI report may include a channel quality indicator (CQI) , a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) , a CSI-RS resource indicator (CRI) , and/or a rank indicator (RI) . The structure of the PMI may vary based on the codebook. The CRI, RI, and CQI may be in a first part (Part I) and the PMI may be in a second part (Part II) of the CSI report. For the Type I single panel codebook, the PMI may consist of a W1 matrix (e.g., subest of beams) and a W2 matrix (e.g., phase for cross polarization combination and beam selection) . For the Type I multi-panel codebook, compared to type I single panel codebook, the PMI further comprises a phase for cross panel combination. For the Type II single panel codebook, the PMI is a linear combination of beams; it has a subset of orthogonal beams to be used for linear combination and has per layer, per polarization, amplitude and phase for each beam. For the PMI of any type, there can be wideband (WB) PMI and/or subband (SB) PMI as configured.

The CSI report configuration may configure the UE for aperiodic, periodic, or semi-persistent CSI reporting. For periodic CSI, the UE may be configured with periodic CSI-RS resources. Periodic CSI and semi-persistent CSI report on physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) may be triggered via RRC or a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) . For aperiodic and semi-persistent CSI on the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) , the BS may signal the UE a CSI report trigger indicating for the UE to send a CSI report for one or more CSI-RS resources, or configuring the CSI-RS report trigger state. The CSI report trigger for aperiodic CSI and semi-persistent CSI on PUSCH may be provided via downlink control information (DCI) . The CSI-RS trigger may be signaling indicating to the UE that CSI-RS will be transmitted for the CSI-RS resource.

The UE may report the CSI feedback based on the CSI report configuration and the CSI report trigger. For example, the UE may measure the channel associated with CSI for the triggered CSI-RS resources. Based on the measurements, the UE may select a preferred CSI-RS resource. The UE reports the CSI feedback for the selected CSI-RS resource.

In certain systems (e.g., Release-15 NR systems) , the user equipment (UE) is configured to report precoder matrix information (e.g., for the Type II CSI codebook) across subbands. The precoder matrix information may be compressed in the spatial domain (SD) . For example, the UE can be configured to report the precoder

where b is the selected beam,

is the set of linear combination coefficients for a first polarization (e.g., +45) and

is the set of linear combination coefficients for a second polarization (e.g., -45) , L is the number of selected spatial beams, and N _SB is the number of subbands configured for CSI reporting.

In certain systems (e.g., Release-16 NR systems) , an enhanced linear combination codebook may be used, for example, for type II CSI reporting. The enhanced linear combination codebook may further configure compressed CSI feedback reporting in the frequency domain (FD) . In some examples, the linear combination coefficients can be compressed in the frequency domain via a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) -based matrix (FD basis) . Then, the UE reports the selected basis and coefficients to the base station (BS) after the compression. The BS can apply the coefficients to the selected basis to obtain the CSI feedback.

In some examples, for the FD compressed CSI feedback, the UE may be configured to report the precoder

where

is the FD compression matrix (e.g., a DFT-basis of size M _1, l X N ₃) for the first polarization;

is the FD compression matrix (e.g., a DFT-basis of size M _2, l X N ₃) for the second polarization;

are the linear combination coefficients for the first polarization;

are the linear combination coefficients for the second polarization; N ₃ is the frequency dimension of the precoder w _r; M _1, l is the dimension of the compressed domain for the first polarization; and M _2, l is the dimension of the compressed domain for the second polarization. M _1, l < N ₃ and M _2, l < N ₃. M _1, l and M _2, l may be the same or different.

The beam index and polarization index can be merged as

where

of size M _i _X N ₃, and

if i ≤L-1 and

if i > L-1 and l = i -L. In this case, the UE may be configured to report the spatial beam selection b ₀…b _L-1, the FD compression basis selection

and the coefficients c _i. In some examples, the UE only reports the FD compression basis common for all i spatial beams (e.g., F _i=F and M _i = M,

) . In some examples, the UE reports only a subset of coefficients K ₀ < K total coefficients, where

if F _i is beam-specific, or K = 2LM coefficients if F _i is beam-common.

In some cases, the frequency resources (e.g., subbands or resource blocks (RBs) ) configured for the CSI report may be non-contiguous. For example, the BS may configure the UE with frequency resources for CSI reporting. Different bandwidth parts (BWP) may be configured with different candidate subband sizes. Also, each BWP may be configured with multiple (e.g., two) candidate subband sizes. The table 300 in FIG. 3 shows example candidate subband sizes that may be configured for different BWPs. The BS can configure the subband sizes (e.g., 1 bit) . The total number of subbands may be determined based on the BWP size and the subband size. In some examples, the BS may configure any combination of subbands (e.g., 3-19 subbands in the example shown in FIG. 3) for CSI reporting. The number of subbands for CSI reporting N _SB may be determined by the BS and configured at the UE. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4, the configured subbands may be non-contiguous. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the subbands 2-7 and 12-17 are configured for CSI reporting.

FIG. 5 is an example nominal DFT-based matrix with oversampling O ₃. The UE may select M basis out of the total N ₃×O ₃basis. As shown in FIG. 5, the nominal DFT-based matrix has N ₃ entries per row, corresponding to N ₃ frequency components (e.g., RBs, multiple of RBs, or subbands) ; however, the nominal DFT-based matrix may not match with the non-contiguous frequency components. Thus, the nominal DFT-based matrix compression may lose its benefit in terms of overhead reduction or CSI accuracy. Therefore, techniques for frequency domain compressed CSI reporting (e.g., using the enhanced linear combination codebook) with a non-contiguous frequency resource set configuration are desired.

Example Compressed CSI Feedback for Non-Contiguous Frequency Resources

Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for compressed channel state information (CSI) feedback with a non-contiguous frequency resource set configuration. In some examples, the user equipment (UE) performs the frequency domain (FD) compression using a truncated nominal discrete Fourier transform (DFT) based matrix. For example, based on the frequency resource configuration, columns or rows of the nominal DFT-based matrix can be removed. In some examples, the UE performs separate FD compression for contiguous subbands. That is, for each segment of contiguous subbands, the UE perform an individual FD compression.

FIG. 6 is a flow diagram illustrating example operations 600 for wireless communication, in accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure. The operations 600 may be performed, for example, by a UE (e.g., such as the UE 120a in the wireless communication network 100) for CSI compression using a truncated matrix when non-contiguous frequency resource are configured for CSI reporting. Operations 600 may be implemented as software components that are executed and run on one or more processors (e.g., processor 280 of FIG. 2) . Further, the transmission and reception of signals by the UE in operations 600 may be enabled, for example, by one or more antennas (e.g., antennas 252 of FIG. 2) . In certain aspects, the transmission and/or reception of signals by the UE may be implemented via a bus interface of one or more processors (e.g., processor 280) obtaining and/or outputting signals.

The operations 600 may begin, at 602, by receiving a CSI report configuration. The CSI report configuration configures the UE for reporting at least a subset of precoding matrix information. For example, the UE may be configured to report a plurality of selected beams (L) , a frequency domain compression matrix (F) for each of the beams at each of a plurality of taps (M) in the time domain, and a subset of a plurality of linear combination coefficients associated with the FD compression matrices and beams.

At 604, the UE receives a configuration of non-contiguous frequency resources for CSI reporting. In some example, the configuration of non-contiguous frequency resources (e.g., subbands, resource blocks (RBs) , or multiples of RBs) is configured as part of the CSI report configuration. The UE can determine the number of configured frequency resources based on a starting and ending frequency resource index.

At 606, the UE performs frequency domain compression of the precoding matrix information using a truncated frequency domain compression matrix. In some examples, the UE compresses the linear combination coefficients using a truncated nominal DFT-based matrix. The truncation may be based on the frequency resource configuration. The UE may determine a nominal DFT-based matrix with a size equal to at least the number of configured frequency resources N ₃. The number of configured frequency resources is determined by the starting resource index and the ending resource index. In some example, the DFT-based matrix is an inverse DFT (iDFT) based matrix. The UE truncates the determined nominal DFT-based matrix based on a subband size configuration. According to certain aspects, truncating the nominal DFT-based matrix includes removing columns (e.g., removing the entry in each row) or rows of the nominal DFT-base matrix when the corresponding frequency resource is not configured for CSI reporting, as shown in the example truncated matrix in FIG. 7.

The UE may calculate precoding matrix indicator (PMI) , channel quality indicator (CQI) , and/or rank indicator (RI) based on the truncated nominal DFT-based matrix. For example, the UE reports M truncated basis and the corresponding subset of coefficients.

According to certain aspects, the UE can determine the compression algorithm using a sparse coefficient matrix that provides good performance.

FIG. 8 is a flow diagram illustrating example operations 800 for wireless communication, in accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure. The operations 800 may be performed, for example, by UE (e.g., such as a UE 120a in the wireless communication network 100) for compressed CSI reporting using separate FD compression for non-contiguous sets of contiguous frequency resources. Operations 800 may be implemented as software components that are executed and run on one or more processors (e.g., processor 280 of FIG. 2) . Further, the transmission and reception of signals by the UE in operations 800 may be enabled, for example, by one or more antennas (e.g., antennas 252 of FIG. 2) . In certain aspects, the transmission and/or reception of signals by the UE may be implemented via a bus interface of one or more processors (e.g., processor 280) obtaining and/or outputting signals.

The operations 800 may begin, at 802, by receiving a CSI report configuration, configuring the UE for reporting at least a subset of precoding matrix information including, a plurality of selected beams, a FD compression matrix for each of the beams at each of a plurality of taps in the time domain, and a subset of a plurality of linear combination coefficients associated with the FD compression matrices and beams.

At 804, the UE receives a configuration of non-contiguous sets of contiguous frequency resources for CSI reporting.

At 806, the UE performs separate FD compression of the precoding matrix information for each set of contiguous frequency resources. According to certain aspects, a set of contiguous frequency resources may refer to a set of evenly spaced frequency resources. The UE can determine, for each set of contiguous frequency resources, the number of frequency resources in the set. In some examples, the UE determines a nominal DFT-based matrix, having a size equal to the determined number of frequency resources in the set, for performing the frequency compression of the set. For example, for each segment n of contiguous resources, the UE determines a nominal DFT-based matrix of size N _3, n. For example, referring back to the FIG. 4, the UE may perform FD compression of the CSI feedback for the configured subbands 4-7 and the UE may perform another separate FD compression of the CSI feedback for the configured subbands 12-17.

As discussed above, the UE reports the FD compression basis used for the FD compression. FIG. 9 illustrates example FD compression basis reporting for non-contiguous subbands, in accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure. In some example, in each segment, basis selection is common for all beams. In some examples, the UE may report M _n basis per segment n. In this case, the value of M _n may be selected based on N _3, n. For example, for

bits may be used for segment n and

total bits may be used. In some examples, the UE may report any M total basis across all segments. In this case, the value of M may be based on N ₃ =

and

total bits may be used. Thus, in some examples, for a first set of the contiguous frequency resources, the UE may report a first subset of FD compression matrix basis, where the number of the first subset of basis is determined based at least in part on the number of frequency resources in the first set. And for a second set of the contiguous frequency resources, the UE may report a second subset of FD compression matrix basis, where the number of the second subset of basis is determined based at least in part on the number of frequency resources in the second set. In some examples, the UE may report a subset of FD compression matrix basis across all of the sets, where the number of basis in the subset is based at least in part on the total number of frequency resources across all sets. In some cases, the basis selection is beam-specific. That is, for a beam i, in segment n, the UE selects and reports M _i, n basis out of the N _3, n total basis; or, for a beam i, the UE selects and reports M _i out of the N ₃ total basis.

In some examples, the UE may report K _0, n < 2LM _n coefficients for each segment n, or

coefficients for each segment n for the case with beam-specific basis selection. The value of K _0, n is based on M _n (or

) and

total coefficients are reported. In some examples, the UE reports any K ₀ <2LM coefficients across all the segments or

coefficients across all the segments for the case with beam-specific basis selection. Thus, in some examples, for the first subset of FD compression matrix basis, the UE may report a first subset of coefficients and for the second subset of FD compression matrix basis reporting a second subset of coefficients. In some examples, the UE may report a subset of coefficients for the subset of FD compression matrix basis across all of the sets.

According to certain aspects, the number of reported FD compression basis and/or the number of reported coefficients may be configured by the BS or determined and reported by the UE.

According to certain aspects, the UE may determine whether to perform the FD compression using a truncated matrix or to perform separate FD compression for contiguous sets of frequency resources. For example, the UE may determine the compression technique to apply based on a size of the gap between non-contiguous resources. In some examples, if the gap between configured frequency resource is equal to or smaller than a threshold size (e.g., two subbands) , then the UE may perform ‘normal’ FD compression using the nominal DFT-based matrix having a size based on the starting and index subband/RB index. If the gap is larger than the threshold, then the UE may perform FD compression using the truncated matrix or the separate FD compression for contiguous sets of frequency resources. In some examples, when the gap is larger than the threshold, then the UE may perform FD compression using the truncated matrix if the gap is equal to or smaller than a second threshold and the UE may perform the FD compression separately for contiguous sets of frequency resources if the gap is larger than the second threshold.

In some examples, if the total number of configured frequency resource (subbands or RBs) and/or the number of frequency resource in a contiguous segment is smaller than a threshold (e.g., fewer than four subbands/RBs) , the UE does not perform (e.g., skips) FD compression for the CSI report, or does not perform FD compression for that segment. In this case, the UE may report the uncompressed CSI (e.g., with no basis report, and reports all coefficients per subband) or the UE may treat it as an error case.

According to certain aspects, the BS does not configure, and the UE does not expect to be configured, with non-contiguous frequency resources for CSI reporting.

The BS may perform complementary operations to the operations described above for the UE. For example, the BS may configure the UE with the CSI report configuration and with the frequency resource configuration including non-contiguous frequency resources. The BS may receive compressed CSI feedback from the UE, including the selected beams and the corresponding frequency compression basis and subset of coefficients. The BS can perform frequency decompression of the feedback received from the UE to obtain precoding matrix information. The BS can perform the frequency decompression using the truncated DFT-based matrix and/or the BS can perform separate frequency decompression of sets of contiguous resources.

FIG. 10 is a flow diagram illustrating example operations 1000 for wireless communication, in accordance with certain aspects of the present disclosure. The operations 1000 may be performed, for example, by a BS (e.g., such as the BS 110a in the wireless communication network 100) . The operations 1000 may be complimentary operations by the BS to the operations 600 performed by the UE. Operations 1000 may be implemented as software components that are executed and run on one or more processors (e.g., controller/processor 240 of FIG. 2) . Further, the transmission and reception of signals by the BS in operations 1000 may be enabled, for example, by one or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234 of FIG. 2) . In certain aspects, the transmission and/or reception of signals by the BS may be implemented via a bus interface of one or more processors (e.g., controller/processor 240) obtaining and/or outputting signals.

The operations 1000 may begin, at 1002, by sending a CSI report configuration. The CSI report configuration configures a UE for reporting at least a subset of precoding matrix information including, a plurality of selected beams, a frequency domain compression matrix for each of the beams at each of a plurality of taps in the time domain, and a subset of a plurality of linear combination coefficients associated with the frequency domain compression matrices and beams.

The operations 1100 may be performed, for example, by a BS (e.g., such as the BS 110a in the wireless communication network 100) . The operations 1100 may be complimentary operations by the BS to the operations 800 performed by the UE. Operations 1100 may be implemented as software components that are executed and run on one or more processors (e.g., controller/processor 240 of FIG. 2) . Further, the transmission and reception of signals by the BS in operations 1100 may be enabled, for example, by one or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234 of FIG. 2) . In certain aspects, the transmission and/or reception of signals by the BS may be implemented via a bus interface of one or more processors (e.g., controller/processor 240) obtaining and/or outputting signals.

At 1104, the BS sends the UE a configuration of non-contiguous sets of contiguous frequency resources for CSI reporting.

At 1106, the BS performs separate frequency domain decompression of the precoding matrix information from the UE for each set of contiguous frequency resources to obtain the precoding matrix information

Thus, the claims are not intended to be limited to the aspects shown herein, but is to be accorded the full scope consistent with the language of the claims, wherein reference to an element in the singular is not intended to mean “one and only one” unless specifically so stated, but rather “one or more. ” Unless specifically stated otherwise, the term “some” refers to one or more. All structural and functional equivalents to the elements of the various aspects described throughout this disclosure that are known or later come to be known to those of ordinary skill in the art are expressly incorporated herein by reference and are intended to be encompassed by the claims. Moreover, nothing disclosed herein is intended to be dedicated to the public regardless of whether such disclosure is explicitly recited in the claims. No claim element is to be construed under the provisions of 35 U.S.C. §112 (f) unless the element is expressly recited using the phrase “means for” or, in the case of a method claim, the element is recited using the phrase “step for. ”

The various operations of methods described above may be performed by any suitable means capable of performing the corresponding functions. The means may include various hardware and/or software component (s) and/or module (s) , including, but not limited to a circuit, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) , or processor. Generally, where there are operations illustrated in figures, those operations may have corresponding counterpart means-plus-function components with similar numbering.

The various illustrative logical blocks, modules and circuits described in connection with the present disclosure may be implemented or performed with a general purpose processor, a digital signal processor (DSP) , an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) , a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device (PLD) , discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof designed to perform the functions described herein. A general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor, but in the alternative, the processor may be any commercially available processor, controller, microcontroller, or state machine. A processor may also be implemented as a combination of computing devices, e.g., a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, a plurality of microprocessors, one or more microprocessors in conjunction with a DSP core, or any other such configuration.

If implemented in hardware, an example hardware configuration may comprise a processing system in a wireless node. The processing system may be implemented with a bus architecture. The bus may include any number of interconnecting buses and bridges depending on the specific application of the processing system and the overall design constraints. The bus may link together various circuits including a processor, machine-readable media, and a bus interface. The bus interface may be used to connect a network adapter, among other things, to the processing system via the bus. The network adapter may be used to implement the signal processing functions of the PHY layer. In the case of a user terminal (see FIG. 1) , a user interface (e.g., keypad, display, mouse, joystick, etc. ) may also be connected to the bus. The bus may also link various other circuits such as timing sources, peripherals, voltage regulators, power management circuits, and the like, which are well known in the art, and therefore, will not be described any further. The processor may be implemented with one or more general-purpose and/or special-purpose processors. Examples include microprocessors, microcontrollers, DSP processors, and other circuitry that can execute software. Those skilled in the art will recognize how best to implement the described functionality for the processing system depending on the particular application and the overall design constraints imposed on the overall system.

If implemented in software, the functions may be stored or transmitted over as one or more instructions or code on a computer readable medium. Software shall be construed broadly to mean instructions, data, or any combination thereof, whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description language, or otherwise. Computer-readable media include both computer storage media and communication media including any medium that facilitates transfer of a computer program from one place to another. The processor may be responsible for managing the bus and general processing, including the execution of software modules stored on the machine-readable storage media. A computer-readable storage medium may be coupled to a processor such that the processor can read information from, and write information to, the storage medium. In the alternative, the storage medium may be integral to the processor. By way of example, the machine-readable media may include a transmission line, a carrier wave modulated by data, and/or a computer readable storage medium with instructions stored thereon separate from the wireless node, all of which may be accessed by the processor through the bus interface. Alternatively, or in addition, the machine-readable media, or any portion thereof, may be integrated into the processor, such as the case may be with cache and/or general register files. Examples of machine-readable storage media may include, by way of example, RAM (Random Access Memory) , flash memory, ROM (Read Only Memory) , PROM (Programmable Read-Only Memory) , EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) , EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) , registers, magnetic disks, optical disks, hard drives, or any other suitable storage medium, or any combination thereof. The machine-readable media may be embodied in a computer-program product.

A software module may comprise a single instruction, or many instructions, and may be distributed over several different code segments, among different programs, and across multiple storage media. The computer-readable media may comprise a number of software modules. The software modules include instructions that, when executed by an apparatus such as a processor, cause the processing system to perform various functions. The software modules may include a transmission module and a receiving module. Each software module may reside in a single storage device or be distributed across multiple storage devices. By way of example, a software module may be loaded into RAM from a hard drive when a triggering event occurs. During execution of the software module, the processor may load some of the instructions into cache to increase access speed. One or more cache lines may then be loaded into a general register file for execution by the processor. When referring to the functionality of a software module below, it will be understood that such functionality is implemented by the processor when executing instructions from that software module.

Also, any connection is properly termed a computer-readable medium. For example, if the software is transmitted from a website, server, or other remote source using a coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, digital subscriber line (DSL) , or wireless technologies such as infrared (IR) , radio, and microwave, then the coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, DSL, or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave are included in the definition of medium. Disk and disc, as used herein, include compact disc (CD) , laser disc, optical disc, digital versatile disc (DVD) , floppy disk, and

disc where disks usually reproduce data magnetically, while discs reproduce data optically with lasers. Thus, in some aspects computer-readable media may comprise non-transitory computer-readable media (e.g., tangible media) . In addition, for other aspects computer-readable media may comprise transitory computer-readable media (e.g., a signal) . Combinations of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media.

Thus, certain aspects may comprise a computer program product for performing the operations presented herein. For example, such a computer program product may comprise a computer-readable medium having instructions stored (and/or encoded) thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform the operations described herein. For example, instructions for performing the operations described herein and illustrated in FIGs. 6, 8, 10 and/or 11.

Further, it should be appreciated that modules and/or other appropriate means for performing the methods and techniques described herein can be downloaded and/or otherwise obtained by a user terminal and/or base station as applicable. For example, such a device can be coupled to a server to facilitate the transfer of means for performing the methods described herein. Alternatively, various methods described herein can be provided via storage means (e.g., RAM, ROM, a physical storage medium such as a compact disc (CD) or floppy disk, etc. ) , such that a user terminal and/or base station can obtain the various methods upon coupling or providing the storage means to the device. Moreover, any other suitable technique for providing the methods and techniques described herein to a device can be utilized.

It is to be understood that the claims are not limited to the precise configuration and components illustrated above.
