Definitions
- the following relates generally to wireless communications, and more specifically to layer specific coefficients omission.
- Wireless communications systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power) .
- Examples of such multiple-access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems.
- 4G systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems
- 5G systems which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems.
- CDMA code division multiple access
- TDMA time division multiple access
- FDMA frequency division multiple access
- OFDMA orthogonal frequency division multiple access
- DFT-S-OFDM discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
- a wireless multiple-access communications system may include a number of base stations or network access nodes, each simultaneously supporting communication for multiple communication devices, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE) .
- UE user equipment
- a base station may indicate for a UE to transmit a channel state information (CSI) report to identify a preferred beam for subsequent communications.
- CSI channel state information
- the number of subbands may be relatively large for which the UE transmits the CSI feedback, increasing overhead for the CSI feedback transmission. Efficient techniques are desired for reducing signaling overhead for a CSI feedback transmission.
- the described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support layer specific coefficients omission based on a layer ordering indication (LOI) .
- LOI layer ordering indication
- the described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) to identify a LOI that indicates an order of layers from strongest to weakest (e.g., an order based on a strength metric) , omitting one or more bits from a first payload of a channel state information (CSI) report based on the LOI, and transmitting the CSI report after omitting the one or more bits from the payload.
- the UE may identify the LOI after receiving a CSI report trigger and an uplink grant configuration indicating resources for carrying the CSI report.
- the UE may identify that the uplink grant configuration is insufficient for carrying the payload of the CSI report and may omit the one or more bits according to the LOI based on this identification that the uplink grant configuration is insufficient to carry the CSI report payload. For example, the UE may omit the one or more bits on a priority level by priority level basis following an omission rule until the uplink grant configuration is sufficient to carry a second payload of the CSI report.
- the UE may identify the LOI based on a configuration received from the base station and/or a fixed LOI and may report the LOI to the base station. For example, the UE may jointly encode a layer index based on the LOI with each layer in the CSI report, jointly encode a message to indicate the LOI for the layers transmitted in the CSI report, or a combination thereof.
- the UE may also transmit at least one of: a spatial domain basis, a frequency domain basis, a first number of non-zero coefficients (NNZC) indicator indicating a total number of NNZC across a set of layers, a set of second NNZC indicators indicating the NNZC of each layer of one or more layers of the set of layers, a set of bitmaps indicating indices of NNZC of each layer of the set of layers, one or more strongest coefficient indicator of each layer of one or more layers of the set of layers, quantizations of the set of the NNZCs of each of the one or more layers, or any combination thereof.
- the base station may identify which bits were omitted according to the omission rule by the UE in the CSI report to achieve the second payload.
- the omission rule may be based on a priority order of the set of layers starting from a lowest priority to a highest priority. For example, the UE may omit entire layers starting with the lowest priority layers based on a supported payload size (e.g., if NNZC is reported per layer) or based on a pre-defined portion-of-omission parameter (e.g., if NNZC is reported as a total number of NNZCs) .
- a supported payload size e.g., if NNZC is reported per layer
- a pre-defined portion-of-omission parameter e.g., if NNZC is reported as a total number of NNZCs
- the UE may omit portions (e.g., one coefficient at a time) of each layer starting with the lowest priority layer and proceeding to a next highest priority layer until the second payload size is achieved (e.g., until a total supported payload size is satisfied, a pre-defined portion-of-omission parameter is satisfied, etc. ) .
- portions e.g., one coefficient at a time

- UCI part 2 may be as a large as 500 ⁇ 800 bits (e.g., based on K 0 for each layer) .
- a CSI omission rule may be needed. Since FD compression may be applied in the Type II precoder codebook, a subband-based compression may not be possible since each CSI component may be correlated to a same precoding matrix index (PMI) on all subbands. Accordingly, a possible CSI omission rule may include to omit coefficients layer-by-layer, such that the UE 115 may be able to report some complete layers. Additionally, if some layers are omitted, the UE 115 may not update the CQI computation because the CQI computed using a higher rank would be underestimated for a low rank.

- this LI may be reused and extended to determine a priority rule for CSI omission. An example of the priority rule and priority order of the different priority levels may be shown below in Table 1.
- Priority 0 (highest) wideband CSI of CSI report 0 to CSI N rep -1
- Priority 1 layer associated with LI of CSI report 0
- Priority 2 layer (s) not associated with LI of CSI report 0

- Priority 2N rep -1 layer associated with LI of CSI report N rep -1
- Priority 2N rep (lowest) layer (s) not associated with LI of CSI report N rep -1
- the strongest layer indicated by the LI may have a higher priority than the other layers.
- their priority order may depend on their index.
- the CSI omission starts from the lowest priority and proceeds to the highest priority until a payload size of the UCI part 2 is below a maximum supported UCI part 2 payload size (e.g., as indicated by the base station 105.
- the UE 115 may transmit the CSI report with layer 1 with NNZC K NZ, 1 . If the allocated uplink resources are still insufficient to transmit after omitting the CSIs for layers 0, 2 and 3, then the UE 115 may further omit layer 1 and transmit no UCI part 2 for this CSI report.
- the base station 105 may first decode the UCI Part 1 message and recover the per-layer NNZC indicator K NZ, 0 , K NZ, 1 , K NZ, 2 and K NZ, 3 . Then, based on this information, the base station may determine a first payload of the UCI Part 2 message and check whether the first payload can be carried by the allocated uplink resources at the target coding rate. If the allocated uplink resource is insufficient to carry the CSI report, the base station 105 may identify that a CSI omission has occurred.
- the base station 105 may first check whether the allocated uplink resource is sufficient to carry the CSI report by omitting layers 0, 2 and 3. If the allocated uplink resource is insufficient, the base station 105 may assume there is no UCI part 2 for this CSI report.

- the CQI is calculated based on a PMI which has a rank no less than the reported PMI and the PMI used in CQI calculation contains the layers included in the reported PMI. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may calculate the CQI (and a BS may assume the CQI) based on the layers without omission. That is, the CQI is calculated based on some layers in the reported PMI, where there is no CSI omission to these layers. In some cases, the base station 105 may calculate the CQI based on all the layers after omission.
- the UE 115 may be limited with how to reduce the payload size or may omit layers inefficiently. For example, the UE 115 may omit a second strongest layer or a second highest priority layer based on a layer index number before omitting lower priority layers to achieve the supported priority layers. In other conventional implementations, the UE 115 may omit certain parts of the payload (e.g., a CSI omission discard) based on a predefined rule.
- the UE 115 may omit coefficients (e.g., CSI report portions) based on even or odd subband groups (e.g., all even subband groups or odd subband groups may be omitted) .
- the UE 115 may omit layers irrespective of a priority (e.g., except for a strongest layer containing the PTRS) until a payload size is reached. Accordingly, more efficient techniques are desired for indicating an order of reported layers for omission purposes.
- Wireless communications system 100 may support efficient techniques for a UE 115 to identify an LOI that indicates an order of layers from strongest to weakest (e.g., an order based on a strength metric) and indicate the LOI to a base station 105 prior to or with the transmission of a CSI report.
- the UE 115 may omit one or more coefficients from a first payload of the CSI report based on the LOI and transmit the CSI report after omitting the one or more coefficients from the payload.
- the UE 115 may omit the one or more bits on a level by level basis following an omission rule until the uplink grant configuration is sufficient to carry a second payload of the CSI report (e.g., a maximum supported payload for the second part of the CSI report as indicated by the base station 105) .
- the UE 115 may identify the LOI based on a configuration received from the base station 105 and/or a fixed LOI and may report the LOI to the base station 105. Based on the LOI (and additional parameters) , the base station 105 may identify which coefficients were omitted according to the omission rule by the UE 115 in the CSI report to achieve the second payload.
- the UE 115 may omit entire layers starting with the lowest priority layers based on a supported payload size (e.g., if NNZC is reported per layer) or based on a pre-defined portion-of-omission parameter (e.g., if NNZC is reported as a total number of NNZCs) . Additionally or alternatively, the UE 115 may omit portions (e.g., one coefficient at a time) of each layer starting with the lowest priority layer and proceeding to a next highest priority layer until the second payload size is achieved (e.g., until a total supported payload size is satisfied, a pre-defined portion-of-omission parameter is satisfied, etc. ) .

For a rank R, the total number of hypotheses (e.g., possible layer orderings) may be given as Additionally, a number of payload bits for LOI 225 with rank R may be given as with layers i. In some cases, UE 115-a may jointly encode LOI 225 with a RI in CSI report 230 or may individually encode LOI 225 in a separate uplink transmission.

- base station 105-a may first decode the first part of CSI report 230 (e.g., UCI Part 1 message) and recover the total NNZC is equal to 44 coefficients. Then based on this information, base station 105-a may determine a first payload of the second part of CSI report 230 (e.g., UCI Part 2 message) and check whether the first payload can be carried by the allocated uplink resource with the target coding rate. If the allocated uplink resource is insufficient to carry CSI report 230, base station 105-a may determine CSI omission 220 has occurred. Base station 105-a may first check whether the allocated uplink resource is sufficient to carry NZCs (e.g., based on ) .
- NZCs e.g., based on
- base station 105-a may further check whether the allocated uplink resource is sufficient to carry CSI report 230 by further omitting another portion, etc. If so, base station 105-a may decode the second part of CSI report 230 (e.g., UCI) .
- SCI strongest coefficient indicator
- base station 105-a may first check whether the allocated uplink resource is sufficient to carry CSI report 230 with all coefficients for layer 1 and 0 and with 3 coefficients for layer 3. In some cases, base station 105-a may base a CQI calculation on the CSI before omission, on the layers without omission, or on all the layers after omission.
- CSI omission comprises omitting a portion (e.g., 50%) of entire UCI part 2.
- the omission may starts layer by layer, indexed based on the LOI.
- the CSI omitted at a certain level is as in Table 4.
- UE may know there are 120 bits for layer 0, 141 bits for layer 1, 134 bits for layer 2 and 169 bits for layer 3 (plus 11 bits for SD bases common to all layers) , Then UE may omit 288 bits from UCI part 2. The UE may omit all 134 bits for layer 2, and 154 (from the 169 bits) of layer 3.
- the BS knows the a first payload for UCI part 2, and a first payload of each layer. Then, BS knows there are 288 bits to be omitted as the UL resource is not sufficient to carry all the 575 bits.
- the BS knows 134 bits for layer 2, and 154 (from the 169 bits) of layer 3 are omitted.
- the exact omitted CSI component is known by the mapping order.
- the UE may calculate a CQI (and a BS may assume CQI is calculated) based on the CSI before omission. That is, the CQI is calculated based on a PMI which has a rank no less than the reported PMI and the PMI used in CQI calculation contains the layers included in the reported PMI. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may calculate the CQI (and a BS may assume the CQI) based on the layers without omission. That is, the CQI is calculated based on some layers in the reported PMI, where there is no CSI omission to these layers. In some cases, the base station 105 may calculate the CQI based on all the layers after omission.
- LI may be extended to LOI 225 as described above, where LOI 225 includes two (2) layers. Accordingly, LOI 225 may be reported by UE 115-a to indicate the indices of the strongest layer and the second strongest layer.
- the bitwidth of this LOI 225 may be given by or if transmitted in the first part of CSI report 230 (e.g., UCI part 1) . may represent a joint encoding of the ordering, while may represent an independent encoding of the layer index at a certain order. Additionally or alternatively, the bitwidth of LOI 225 may be given by or if transmitted in the second part of CSI report 230 (e.g., UCI part 2) . Then, LOI 225 may be used to determine the priority rule for CSI omission 220.
- An example of a priority order may be given by Table 4 below.
- Priority 0 (highest) wideband CSI of CSI report 0 to CSI N rep -1
- Priority 1 strongest layer of CSI report 0
- Priority 2 second strongest layer (if applied) of CSI report 0
- Priority 3 other layers (if applied) of CSI report 0 ... ...
- Priority 3N rep -2 strongest layer of CSI report N rep -1
- Priority 3N rep -1 second strongest layer (if applied) of CSI report N rep -1
- Priority 3N rep (lowest) other layers (if applied) of CSI report N rep -1
- a stronger layer indicated by LOI 225 may have a higher priority than a weaker layer indicated by LOI 225.
- CSI omission 220 e.g., CSI omission rule
- the CSI payload to be omitted at a particular level given by Table 4, where CSI omission 220 starts from the lowest priority.
- the priority orders of the layers not indicated by the LOI may depend on their indices.
- UE 115-a may first omit layer 2 and 3 if needed. If the payload before omission can be transmitted via the allocated uplink resource with the targeted coding rate, then UE 115-a may transmit CSI report 230 with layer 1 and 0. If the allocated uplink resource is insufficient to transmit the omitted CSI report 230, then UE 115-a may omit layer 0 and transmit layer 1 for CSI report 230.
- base station 105-a may first decode the first part of CSI report 230 (e.g., UCI Part 1 message) and recover the per-layer NNZC indicator K NZ, 0 , K NZ, 1 , K NZ, 2 . and K NZ, 3 . Then based on this information, base station 105-a may determine a first payload of the second part of CSI report 230 (e.g., UCI Part 2 message) and check whether the first payload can be carried by the allocated uplink resources with the target coding rate. If the allocated uplink resources are insufficient to carry the report, base station 105-a may determine CSI omission 220 has occurred.
- the first payload of the second part of CSI report 230 e.g., UCI Part 2 message
- base station 105-a may first check whether the allocated uplink resources are sufficient to carry CSI report 230 by omitting layer 0. If not, base station 105-a may assume only layer 1 is in CSI report 230. In this case, the omission at a certain level may include omitting the FD basis and bitmap used to report NZC indices and strongest coefficient indices of the corresponding layer (s) . In some cases, the UE may calculate a CQI (and a BS may assume CQI is calculated) based on the CSI before omission.
- the CQI is calculated based on a PMI which has a rank no less than the reported PMI and the PMI used in CQI calculation contains the layers included in the reported PMI. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may calculate the CQI (and a BS may assume the CQI) based on the layers without omission. That is, the CQI is calculated based on some layers in the reported PMI, where there is no CSI omission to these layers. In some cases, the base station 105 may calculate the CQI based on all the layers after omission.
- the layers are ordered based on their indices. That is, the layer order is based on their mapping order in the UCI part 2. In some examples, the layers mapped in an order following their strength. The strongest layer would be put into the UCI part 2 first, followed by the second strongest layer, third, fourth, etc. Hence, layer 0 would be the strongest layer, layer 1 is the second strongest, etc. Then, all the aforementioned can be applied by determining the priority of each layer based on their indices. That is, table 1-4 can be reformulated as
- Priority 0 (highest) wideband CSI of CSI report 0 to CSI N rep -1
- Priority 1 layer 0 of CSI report 0
- Priority 2 of CSI report 0
- Priority 3 layer 0 of CSI report 1
- Priority 4 layer (s) other than layer 0 of CSI report 1 ... ...
- Priority 2N rep -1 layer 0 of CSI report N rep -1
- Priority 2N rep (lowest) layer (s) other than layer 0 of CSI report N rep -1
- Priority 0 (highest) wideband CSI of CSI report 0 to CSI N rep -1
- Priority 1 layer 0 of CSI report 0
- Priority 2 layer 1 (if applied) of CSI report 0
- Priority 3 layer 2 (if applied) of CSI report 0
- Priority 4 layer 3 (if applied) of CSI report 0 ... ...

- Priority 4N rep -2 layer 1 (if applied) of CSI report N rep -1
- Priority 4N rep -1 layer 2 (if applied) layer of CSI report N rep -1
- Priority 4N rep (lowest) layer 3 (if applied) of CSI report N rep -1
- Priority 0 (highest) wideband CSI of CSI report 0 to CSI N rep -1
- Priority 1 layer 0 of CSI report 0
- Priority 2 layer 1 (if applied) of CSI report 0
- Priority 3 layer 2 and 3 (if applied) of CSI report 0 ... ...
- Priority 3N rep -2 layer 0 of CSI report N rep -1
- Priority 3N rep -1 layer 1 (if applied) of CSI report N rep -1
- Priority 3N rep (lowest) layer 2 and 3 (if applied) of CSI report N rep -1
- UE may report total NNZC and mapping the CSI components into UCI part 2 following the order all components (FD basis, bitmap for reporting coefficients indices, SCI and quantization of NZCs) of layer 0, all components of layer 1, all components or layer 2 and all components of layer 3. Based on this order, the UE starts omission from the layer with highest indices until half of the UCI part 2 is omitted to meet the omission rule at a particular level shown in Table 9.
- all components FD basis, bitmap for reporting coefficients indices, SCI and quantization of NZCs
- the UE may determine there are totally 575 bits in UCI part 2 (payload for other components, SD basis, FD bases, bitmap to indicate coefficients indices and SCI are fixed) . Then UE may omit 288 bits from UCI part 2. Assuming there are 134 bits for layer 3 and 169 bits for layer 2, the UE may omit all 134 bits for layer 3, and 154 (from the 169 bits) of layer 3. At the BS side, based on the reported total NNZC across all layers, the BS knows the a first payload for UCI part 2.
- BS knows there are 288 bits to be omitted as the UL resource is not sufficient to carry all the 575 bits. Then, following the rule the BS knows 134 bits for layer 3, and 154 (from the 169 bits) of layer 2 are omitted. The exact omitted CSI component is known by the mapping order.
- the UE may calculate a CQI (and a BS may assume CQI is calculated) based on the CSI before omission. That is, the CQI is calculated based on a PMI which has a rank no less than the reported PMI and the PMI used in CQI calculation contains the layers included in the reported PMI. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may calculate the CQI (and a BS may assume the CQI) based on the layers without omission. That is, the CQI is calculated based on some layers in the reported PMI, where there is no CSI omission to these layers. In some cases, the base station 105 may calculate the CQI based on all the layers after omission.
- CSI omission 220 may first omit a portion (e.g., a half) of the payload (e.g., NNZC) of each layer. If the allocated uplink resource is insufficient to carry CSI report 230, then UE 115-a may omit a second portion of the payload of each layer, until the allocated uplink resource is sufficient to carry CSI report 230 after omission.
- a portion e.g., a half
- the payload e.g., NNZC
- the CSI omission process is up to UE implementation, and made transparent to BS. That is, after CSI calculation, the UE knows a first payload of the CSI and knows that the UL resource is insufficient to carry a first payload. Then, the UE omits all the CSI components of some layers to have a second payload of UCI part 2, and updates RI/NNZC in UCI part 1 so that the UCI part 1 indicates the second payload of UCI part 2. Then, from BS perspective, the BS station does not know CSI omission has occurred, the BS only recovers the UCI part 2 following what UCI part 1 indicates.
- the BS may obtain a low rank reported by UE, but not be aware of this is because of CSI omission or UE preference.
- additional signaling needs to be sent in UCI part 1.
- the additional signaling may be termed as “CSI omission indicator (COI) ” or “status indication” (SI) .
- the COI may be a 1-bit indication to indicate that the reported CSI is after CSI omission.
- the SI may be generated by joint encoding COI with other indicators, such as basis sufficiency indicator.
- the basis sufficiency indicator indicates whether the number of configured FD bases are sufficient to capture the actual channel state and interference measurement.
- the BSI further comprises indicating whether the configured SD bases are sufficient.
- the BSI further comprises indicating whether the configured number of coefficients is sufficient.
- a set of possible status to codepoints mapping are summarized in Table 11-13.
- SI FD bases sufficiency SD bases sufficiency CSI omission 000 Yes Yes Off 001 Yes Yes On 010 Yes No Off 011 yes No On 100 No Yes Off 101 No Yes On
- the COI is indicated via an implicit indicator.
- K NZ, 0 >0, K NZ, 1 >0, K NZ, 2 >0 and K NZ, 3 >0 then it means the actual rank is 2, while only layer 0 and 1 applied, layer 2 and layer 3 are actually removed.

- the UE 115 may omit coefficients (e.g., as indicated by omitted coefficients 335) until coefficients are collected. That is, the CSI of third layer 310-c may have a larger number of coefficients than the calculated 14 coefficients, so the UE 115 may omit third layer 310-c. In some cases, since third layer 310-c has 20 NNZCs, the UE 115 may omit 14 of the 20 NNZCs or may omit the entire CSI of third layer 310-c.

Abstract
L'invention concerne des procédés, des systèmes et des dispositifs destinés aux communications sans fil. Un équipement utilisateur (UE) peut identifier un indicateur d'ordination de couche (LOI) qui indique un ordre de couches descendant, et indiquer le LOI à une station de base avant ou pendant la transmission d'un rapport d'informations d'état de canal (CSI). Dans certains cas, l'UE peut omettre un ou plusieurs coefficients à partir d'une première charge utile du rapport de CSI sur la base du LOI, et transmettre le rapport de CSI après omission du ou des coefficients à partir de la charge utile jusqu'à ce que la configuration d'autorisation de liaison montante soit suffisante pour transporter une seconde charge utile du rapport de CSI (par exemple, une charge utile maximale prise en charge pour le rapport de CSI). Sur la base du LOI, la station de base peut identifier quels coefficients ont été omis selon la règle d'omission par l'UE dans le rapport CSI pour obtenir la seconde charge utile.
