- Doppler CSI/Type 2 Codebook It is being considered to extend/improve CSI reporting for UEs moving at high/medium speeds by utilizing time-domain correlation/Doppler-domain (DD) information, such as improving the extended (Rel. 16) type-2 codebook and the additional extended (Rel. 17) type-2 PS codebook without changing the spatial and frequency domain basis, and reporting time-domain channel characteristics (time-domain correlation profile) measured via tracking CSI-RS (TRS) from the UE.
- DD time-domain correlation/Doppler-domain
- the channel coherent time depends on the maximum Doppler shift.
- the channel coherent time is the time when the measured channel characteristics are available or when the measured channel characteristics become unavailable (channel aging).
- the maximum Doppler shift is estimated by the relative speed between the transmitter and the receiver.
- ⁇ f max v/ ⁇ .
- the channel coherent time decreases. For example, at a carrier frequency of 4.5 GHz, when the moving speed exceeds about 25 km/h, the channel coherent time falls below 10 ms. How to deal with such high moving speed and short channel coherent time becomes a problem.
- TRS is supported.
- TRS has the following problems: The number of ports per CSI-RS resource set is limited to only one. Each CSI-RS resource uses a single port. ⁇ The period that can be set is 10 ms or more. No CSI reporting is expected for TRS. There is no reporting configuration for P-TRS. Reporting can be configured but reportQuantity is set to 'none' only. A maximum of 16 CSI-RS resources are used per CSI-RS resource set.
- the TRS are placed in time and frequency domain resources. To measure the impact of Doppler shift, multiple RSs in the time domain are required within a given frequency domain resource.
