- the PMI determined by the terminal is typically determined by a set of orthogonal basis vectors and weighting coefficients associated with those vectors. Therefore, the terminal needs to indicate at least one determined orthogonal basis vector and its weighting coefficients to the network-side device.
- the network-side device determines the terminal-determined PMI based on the orthogonal basis vectors and weighting coefficients, and further, performs candidate data transmission based on the PMI.

- CSI or PMI is associated with multiple orthogonal basis vectors
- the terminal uses these two indication methods to indicate to the network that CSI or PMI is associated with multiple orthogonal basis vectors.
- the first indication method is as follows: The terminal is instructed via a combination number to select the basis vector indices of multiple orthogonal basis vectors from a basis vector group.
- the basis vectors in this group are orthogonal in both N2 and N1 dimensions.
- the size of the UCI field or payload associated with the combination number is... in This indicates that L basis vectors are selected from N1*N2 basis vectors. Therefore, it can be seen that as the size of the basis vector group increases, that is, as the value of N1*N2 increases to N1*N2*O1*O2, the indication overhead of the combination number association also increases.

- the offset l1 - l2 can take values in the range ⁇ 0, 1, 2, ..., N1*O1-1 ⁇ . Normally, N1 and N2 are not the same, but this is because the network does not know...
- the PMI is orthogonal in the N1 dimension, the N2 dimension, or both dimensions, it may need to be configured according to the maximum range of values in ⁇ 0,1,2,...,N2*O2-1 ⁇ and ⁇ 0,1,2,...,N1*O1-1 ⁇ . Therefore, more indication overhead may be required.
- the related technologies can only indicate the selected basis vector from a set of 2-dimensional orthogonal candidate basis vectors (the 2-dimensional orthogonality means that any two basis vectors in the basis vector set are orthogonal in all dimensions or in one dimension and orthogonal in another dimension), and cannot support indicating the selected basis vector from a set of 1-dimensional orthogonal candidate basis vectors (the 1-dimensional orthogonality means that any one basis vector in the basis vector set is orthogonal to a reference basis vector in at least one dimension, but may not be orthogonal in some dimension).
- the protocol supports carrying a CSI report on an uplink channel resource (PUCCH/PUSCH) to feed back to the network, or carrying multiple CSI reports on an uplink channel resource (Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH)/Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH)) to feed back to the network-side device.

- the terminal may discard part of the CSI report or the entire CSI report, as per the protocol.
- embodiments of this application provide a base vector indication scheme to reduce the overhead of base vector indication.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic flowchart of a base vector indication method according to an embodiment of this application.
- This method 200 can be executed by a terminal.
- the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the terminal.
- the method may include the following steps.
- the terminal obtains N first base vector information to be fed back, wherein each of the N first base vector information is associated with a base vector, and the first base vector information includes at least one of the following: base vector indication, base vector offset indication, and N is an integer greater than 0.
- the terminal can obtain the basis vector indication or basis vector offset indication associated with the N basis vectors to be fed back based on the measurement result of the reference signal.
- one basis vector is associated with one first basis vector information.
- the N basis vectors may be components of a precoding matrix.
- the basis vector indicator or basis vector offset indicator is used to determine the N basis vectors.
- the basis vector indicator determines the index or sequence number of the basis vector
- the basis vector offset indicator determines the offset of the index or sequence number of the basis vector.
- the index or sequence number of other basis vectors can be determined.
- the terminal feeds back M indication information and N first base vector information to the network-side device, wherein the indication information is used to determine the load size of the N first base vector information, and M is an integer greater than 0.
- the terminal after the terminal obtains the first base vector information associated with the N base vectors to be fed back, when feeding back the obtained first base vector information to the network-side device, it can feed back M indication information to the network-side device to determine the load size of the N first base vector information.
- M indication information to the network-side device to determine the load size of the N first base vector information.
- the M indication messages and N first base vector messages can be fed back independently.
- the terminal can first feed back the M indication messages, and then feed back the N first base vector messages.
- the terminal can feed back the M indication messages through the first part of the CSI report, and feed back the N first base vector messages through the second part of the CSI report.
- the terminal feeds back M indication information to the network-side device to determine the load size of the N first base vector information, thereby eliminating the need for the terminal to feed back the first base vector information according to the maximum load size of the first base vector information, thus saving the overhead of base vector indication.
- the M indication information includes: M status information.
- the load sizes of the first base vector information associated with multiple different state information are not entirely the same.
- different state information determines that the load sizes of multiple first base vector information are completely different; or, it can also be understood as: at least some of the load sizes of the multiple first base vector information determined by different state information are different.
- M can be equal to 1, meaning the terminal feeds back one status message.
- This single status message is used to determine the payload size of the base vector indications or base vector offsets associated with N base vectors, where N can be greater than or equal to 1.
- the terminal can obtain the bit sequence on the payload size based on the N base vectors or the base vector offsets associated with the N base vectors, and feed back the bit sequence to the network-side device (i.e., feed back N first base vector information).
- the single state information can be used to indicate a state combination of N basis vectors.
- N can be determined based on the maximum RI value indicated by network signaling.
- the network-side device For the network-side device, it first receives one status message from the terminal. This status message is used to determine the payload size (N greater than or equal to 1) of the basis vector indications or basis vector offset indications associated with N basis vectors. Then, the network-side device determines the bit sequence associated with the N basis vectors or basis vector offsets based on the payload size. Based on the bit sequence, it determines the N basis vectors or N basis vector offsets, and further determines all basis vectors associated with PMI or CSI. For example, the N basis vector offsets and one reference basis vector constitute all spatial basis vectors associated with CSI.
- the payload size of the base vector indication or base vector offset indication associated with N base vectors may be different under different state information. Under some state information, the corresponding payload size may be significantly smaller than the maximum payload size. Therefore, by indicating state information to the network-side device through the terminal, and using the state information to determine the payload size of the N base vector indication or N base vector offset indication, the indication overhead can be reduced. This is because without the indication of state information, the terminal needs to indicate the N base vector indication or N base vector offset indication to the network-side device according to the assumption of the maximum payload size.
- M can be greater than 1.
- M can be equal to N, that is, the terminal feeds back N status information, of which 1 status information is used to determine the payload size of a base vector indication or base vector offset indication associated with a base vector.
- the terminal After determining the payload size of each base vector indication or base vector offset indication, the terminal obtains the bit sequence on the payload size based on the base vector or the base vector offset associated with the base vector, and feeds back the bit sequence (i.e., N first base vector information) to the network-side device.
- the order in which the terminal feeds back N status information is the same as the order in which the terminal feeds back N base vector indications or base vector offset indications. That is, the first status information corresponds to the first base vector offset indication, the second status information corresponds to the second base vector offset indication, and so on.
- the first fed-back status information corresponds to the first fed-back base vector offset indication, the second fed-back status information corresponds to the second fed-back base vector offset indication, and so on.
- N can be determined based on the maximum RI value of the network signaling indication.
- the network-side device For the network-side device, it first receives N status information messages from the terminal, where one status message is used to determine the payload size of a base vector indication or base vector offset indication associated with a base vector. Then, based on the payload size determined by the status information, the network-side device determines a bit sequence associated with a base vector or base vector offset, and based on the bit sequence, determines a base vector or a base vector offset, further determining all base vectors associated with the PMI or CSI, or the aforementioned N base vectors.
- the status information exists only when the maximum RI indicated by the network-side device is greater than a specific value.
- the specific value can be a value agreed upon by the protocol or a value indicated by the network-side device.
- the protocol stipulates that at least one status information exists when the maximum RI indicated by the network is greater than 4.
- the first basis vector is one of the following: a predefined basis vector, one of the N basis vectors, or a basis vector indicated by the terminal; the second basis vector is a basis vector orthogonal to the first basis vector; and the third basis vector is a basis vector orthogonal to one of the first and second basis vectors.
- the basis vector number can also be understood as the basis vector index or basis vector parameter, and the mathematical relationship between the basis vector numbers can be understood as the mathematical relationship between the basis vector index or basis vector parameter.
- the relationship between the first basis vector and the second basis vector includes the relationship between the first basis vector index associated with the first basis vector and the second basis vector index associated with the second basis vector.
- the mathematical relationship between the first and second basis vector indices can be understood as follows: the difference or sum of the first and second basis vector indices satisfies a certain mathematical rule.
- the first or second basis vector indices can be a one-dimensional basis vector index associated with a multi-dimensional basis vector, or the basis vector index of each dimension of a multi-dimensional basis vector.
- n1 represents the basis vector index of one dimension of the two-dimensional basis vector
- n2 represents the basis vector index of another dimension of the two-dimensional basis vector
- n represents the one-dimensional basis vector index.
- This is equivalent to mapping the two basis vector indices of a two-dimensional basis vector to a one-dimensional basis vector index through a mapping method.
- the mathematical relationship between the basis vector indices of a two-dimensional basis vector represents the mathematical relationship between the basis vector indices of each dimension.
- the M status information can be used to indicate the mathematical relationship between the base vector indices of the first terminal indicated or selected base vector and the second terminal indicated or selected base vector, the mathematical relationship between the base vector indices of the first terminal indicated or selected base vector and the third terminal indicated or selected base vector, and the mathematical relationship between the base vector indices of the first terminal indicated or selected base vector and the fourth terminal indicated or selected base vector.
- the relationship between the first and second base vectors can be that the difference between the second base vector index associated with the second base vector and the first base vector index associated with the first base vector is an integer multiple of a specific value (e.g., O1 or O2). Therefore, the terminal only needs to indicate the specific value of this integer multiple to the network-side device, saving corresponding indication overhead. Without state information, the terminal cannot determine the length of the bit sequence used for indication based on the difference between the base vector indices being an integer multiple of a specific value, because the network-side device does not know whether the difference between the two base vector indices is an integer multiple or a non-integer multiple of the specific value. Determining the length of the bit sequence based only on non-integer multiples incurs significant overhead.
- a specific value e.g., O1 or O2
- the relationship between the first and second basis vectors can be: a candidate set of the differences between the second basis vector index associated with the second basis vector and the first basis vector index associated with the first basis vector (the difference can be understood as a direct subtraction or as taking the remainder after subtraction with respect to a specific value).
- This can be understood as the status information used to indicate or determine the candidate set of the differences between the second basis vector index associated with the second basis vector and the first basis vector index associated with the first basis vector. Therefore, the terminal only needs to indicate one value from the candidate set to the network-side device, avoiding the use of the largest candidate set to determine the length of the bit sequence, thus saving corresponding indication overhead.
- the status information is used to indicate or determine a candidate set of differences (the differences can be understood as direct subtraction or taking the remainder after subtraction) between the basis vector indices associated with each basis vector dimension of the second basis vector and the basis vector indices associated with the corresponding basis vector dimensions of the first basis vector. Therefore, the terminal only needs to indicate one value from the candidate set to the network.

- FIG. 6 shows a schematic flowchart of a base vector indication method provided in an embodiment of this application.
- This method 600 can be executed by a terminal.
- the method can be executed by software or hardware installed on the terminal.
- the method mainly includes the following steps.
- the terminal determines N basis vectors to be fed back, where N is an integer greater than 1.
- the terminal can determine the N basis vectors to be fed back based on the measurement of the reference signal.
- the terminal feeds back N base vector group indications and one base vector indication to the network-side device, wherein each of the N base vector group indications is used to indicate the base vector group to which a base vector belongs, and the base vector indication is used to indicate the local index of each base vector in the N base vectors within the base vector group, and the base vectors in each base vector group are mutually orthogonal.
- the N basis vector groups and the local indices of the N basis vectors can determine the global index of the N basis vectors.
- the local index of a basis vector refers to its index within its associated basis vector group.
- the global index of a basis vector refers to its index across all basis vector groups.
- the N base vector group indications and one base vector indication can be fed back independently.
- the terminal can first feed back the N base vector group indications and then feed back the one base vector indication.
- the terminal feeds back the N base vector group indications in CSI part 1 and feeds back the one base vector indication in CSI part 2.
- the terminal first feeds back the N base vector group indications in CSI part 2 and then feeds back the one base vector indication.
- the terminal feeds back N basis vector group indications in the following order: either according to the local index of the basis vector associated with each basis vector group in the basis vector group from smallest to largest, or according to the local index of the basis vector associated with each basis vector group in the basis vector group from largest to smallest. For example, if the local index of basis vector group 1 associated with basis vector 1 is 0, the local index of basis vector group 2 associated with basis vector 2 is 2, and the local index of basis vector group 3 associated with basis vector 3 is 1, then the indication order of the basis vector groups is basis vector group 1, basis vector group 3, and basis vector group 2.
- the terminal instructs the network-side device to determine the N base vectors by indicating N base vector groups and one base vector indication. Since a base vector indication is jointly encoded by the local indices of the N base vectors, the indication overhead of the local indices of the N base vectors can be reduced compared to indicating the N base vectors independently to the network-side device.
- related technologies can only indicate the selected basis vector from a set of 2D orthogonal candidate basis vectors (the 2D orthogonality means that any two basis vectors in the basis vector set are orthogonal in all dimensions or in one dimension and orthogonal in another dimension), and cannot support indicating the selected basis vector from a set of 1D orthogonal candidate basis vectors (the 1D orthogonality means that any one basis vector in the basis vector set is orthogonal to a reference basis vector in at least one dimension, but may not be orthogonal in some dimension).
- the terminal indicates a set of N basis vectors to the network-side device. Therefore, the terminal can select multiple basis vectors from a set of basis vectors, which improves the flexibility of basis vector indication.
- the basis vector indicator is associated with a combination number that indicates the local index of each of the N basis vectors in the basis vector group.
- N is greater than or equal to 1
- the value of N is determined based on the value of RI indicated by the terminal to the network-side device, or the value of N indicated by the terminal to the network-side device explicitly or implicitly in CSI part 1.
- the terminal may select N basis vector groups from a plurality of orthogonal basis vector groups, and determine a basis vector to be fed back from each of the N basis vector groups.
- the terminal may also indicate the selected N base vector groups to the network-side device.
- the terminal feeds back N basis vector groups to the network, each basis vector group including N1*N2 mutually orthogonal basis vectors.
- the N basis vector groups are selected from the O1*O2 basis vector groups. It is possible that at least some of the N basis vector groups are the same, that each basis vector group is distinct, or that all basis vector groups are the same.
- Basis vectors with the same filling pattern belong to the same basis vector group, while different filling patterns belong to different basis vector groups.
- the terminal feeds back N base vector groups to the network-side device, each base vector group including N1*N2 mutually orthogonal base vectors.
- the N base vector groups are selected from the O1*O2 base vector groups.
- the terminal feeds back N base vector group indications to the network-side device, and each base vector group indication is used to indicate one of the 16 base vector groups.
- Multiple base vector group indications may indicate the same base vector group among the N base vector group indications; this can be understood as each base vector group indication indicating independently.
- the terminal may determine N orthogonal basis vectors, wherein each basis vector is associated with one of a plurality of orthogonal basis vector groups.
- the terminal may also feed back the N basis vectors associated with N basis vector groups to the network-side device.
- One of the N basis vectors is selected from one basis vector group of O1*O2 basis vector groups, and a basis vector is selected from that basis vector group.
- the remaining N-1 basis vector groups are selected from N-1 basis vector groups of O1+O2-1 basis vector groups, and each basis vector is associated with one of the N-1 basis vector groups. It is possible that at least some of the N basis vector groups are the same, that each basis vector group is a different basis vector group, or that all the basis vector groups are the same.
- the positions of the N-1 basis vectors can only be selected from the positions with filling patterns in Figure 8.
- Figure 8 shows a total of O1 + O2 - 1 basis vector groups with filled patterns. Therefore, one of the N basis vectors is selected from one basis vector group (group 1) of the O1*O2 basis vector groups, and a basis vector (basis vector 1) is selected from this basis vector group.
- the remaining N-1 basis vectors are selected from the O1 + O2 - 1 basis vector groups associated with group 1 (excluding basis vector 1). This can be understood as follows: the indication overhead of the basis vector groups in this method is less than that of the first indication method (selecting N basis vector groups from the O1*O2 basis vector groups).
- the basis vector indication can be associated with a combination number, which is used to indicate the local indices of N basis vectors. This can be understood as the combination number associated with the basis vector indication being determined by the local indices of the N basis vectors, where each local index of a basis vector is associated with a group of basis vectors. Alternatively, it can be understood that each group of basis vectors is associated with a local index of a basis vector.
- the terminal determines N basis vector groups and one basis vector in each basis vector group. Some of the N basis vector groups may be identical. Each basis vector group includes N1*N2 orthogonal basis vectors. For each basis vector associated with a basis vector group, its associated local index is a value in the set ⁇ 0, 1, ..., N1*N2-1 ⁇ . The values of the local indices associated with all basis vectors are different. The terminal arranges the local indices associated with all basis vectors and then determines a combination number according to the mapping rules or function rules agreed upon in the protocol.
- the network-side device After receiving this combination number, the network-side device performs demapping to determine N local indices, and further combines this with the indications of the N basis vector groups to determine the global index of the N basis vectors.
- the local index of a basis vector refers to the index of a basis vector in its associated basis vector group.
- the global index of a basis vector refers to the index of a basis vector in all basis vector groups.
- the independent indication of each base vector is avoided.
- the property of the combination number can be used to reduce the overhead of base vector offset indication.
- the order in which the terminal indicates the N first base vector groups to the network-side device corresponds to the order of the base vectors after sorting by local index. For example, if the terminal determines base vector 1 (associated with base vector group 1), base vector 2 (associated with base vector group 2), and base vector 3 (associated with base vector group 3), the order of the base vectors after sorting by local index from smallest to largest is: base vector 2, base vector 1, base vector 3. Then, the order in which the terminal indicates the three base vector groups to the network-side device is: base vector group 2, base vector group 1, base vector group 3.
- UCI Uplink Control Information
- each basis vector group independently indicates the Ni orthogonal basis vectors; optionally, the value of Ni differs for different basis vector groups. For example, if a PMI is associated with multiple transport layers, and each transport layer is associated with N orthogonal basis vectors, then for each transport layer, the terminal indicates N basis vector groups and a combination number.
- the above-described implementation methods provided in this application are also applicable to the case where the terminal determines N basis vector offsets to be fed back.
- the terminal feeds back N basis vector group indications and one basis vector indication to the network-side device.
- the N basis vector group indications can directly determine the basis vector group associated with the N basis vector offsets, or they can determine the offsets of the basis vector group associated with the N basis vector offsets, and further determine the N basis vector groups associated with the N basis vectors based on a reference basis vector group.
- the basis vector indication is used to indicate the local index of each basis vector offset in the basis vector group.
- the N basis vector groups and the local indices of the N basis vector offsets can determine the global index of the N basis vector offsets.
- the global index of the basis vector offset and the reference basis vector can determine a basis vector orthogonal to the reference basis vector.
- the method may further include: the terminal determining a plurality of basis vectors associated with at least one of the channel state information report and the precoding matrix indication, wherein the plurality of basis vectors satisfy one of the following:
- At least one dimension is orthogonal
- the fourth dimension is one of the multiple dimensions associated with the basis vectors.
- the fourth dimension can be understood as: the dimension associated with the N1 direction or the N2 direction, or the fourth dimension is a horizontal dimension or a vertical dimension, or the fourth dimension is the dimension associated with the parameter l or the parameter m in the basis vector v l,m .
- all dimensions refer to all dimensions among the multiple dimensions associated with the basis vector.
- the at least one dimension is orthogonal, which can be understood as at least one dimension among multiple dimensions being orthogonal.

本申请属于无线通信技术领域,具体涉及一种基矢量指示方法、装置、终端及网络侧设备。

为了进一步理解本申请实施例提供的技术方案,以下对本申请实施例涉及的一些相关技术进行说明。
一、CSI
通常,CSI中包括CSI参考信号(CSI Reference Signal,CSI-RS)资源指示(CSI-RS Resource Indicator,CRI)、PMI、秩指示(Rank indicator,RI)、层指示(Layer indictor,LI)、信道质量指示(Channel quality indicator,CQI)中的一项或者几项。其中PMI的开销在整个CSI开销中的占比可能比较大,因此,优化PMI的开销是值得持续考虑的。
对于终端确定的PMI,通常由一组正交的基矢量和正交的基矢量关联的加权系数确定。因此,终端需要向网络侧设备指示确定的至少一个正交基矢量以及正交基矢量的加权系数。网络侧设备基于正交基矢量和加权系数确定终端确定的PMI,进一步,网络侧设备基于PMI进行候选的数据传输。
二、基矢量指示
对于两个正交的多维基矢量,并不需要要求所有维度方向均正交,可以理解为部分维度正交即可保证两个多维基矢量正交。以2维基矢量为例,一个基矢量由2个维度构成(如下公式的基矢量vl,m由m参数和l参数构成),通常可以理解为水平维度和垂直维度,也可以理解为N2维度和N1维度。其中,m=0,1,2,…,O2*N2-1表示垂直维度或者N2维度,n=0,1,2,….,O1*N1-1表示水平维度或者N1维度。其中N1/N2/O1/O2为码本参数,通常为网络信令指示的,2*N1*N2为PMI关联的端口数量,O1和O2为N1维度和N2维度的过采样因子,该参数影响基矢量元素之间的相位。N1可以理解为水平维度的离散傅立叶变换(Discrete Fourier Transform,DFT)向量的长度,N2可以理解为垂直维度的DFT向量的长度,N1*N2可以理解为2维DFT向量的长度。
对于2个正交的基矢量和可能的情况如下:
(1)和在N1维度正交,N2维度不正交,即l1-l2的差值是O1的整数倍,但是m1-m2的差值不是O2的整数倍;
(2)和在N2维度正交,N1维度不正交,即m1-m2的差值是O2的整数倍,但是l1-l2的差值不是O1的整数倍;
(3)和在N2维度正交,N1维度也正交,即m1-m2的差值是O2的整数倍,且l1-l2的差值也是O1的整数倍。
如果CSI或者PMI关联多个正交基矢量,相关技术存在2种指示方式,终端通过这2中指示方式向网络指示CSI或者PMI关联多个正交基矢量。
第一种指示方式为:通过组合数向网络指示终端从一个基矢量组中选择多个正交基矢量的基矢量索引,所述基矢量组中的基矢量都属于N2维度正交以及N1维度也正交。所述组合数关联的UCI字段的大小或者payload size为其中表示从N1*N2个基矢量中选择L个基矢量。因此,可见,随着基矢量组的大小增加,即N1*N2的值增加到N1*N2*O1*O2,组合数关联的指示开销也会增加。
另一种指示方式为:终端首先通过比特序列向网络侧设备指示第一个基矢量,然后通过指示基矢量偏移量向网络侧设备指示其他的基矢量,通常一个基矢量偏移量关联2个值(即,O1的整数倍和O2的整数倍)。其中,基矢量偏移量来自一个候选值集合,集合中的取值均为O1的整数倍和O2的整数倍,即多个正交基矢量是属于N2维度正交以及N1维度也正交。以Type1码本为例,所述第一个基矢量通过i1,1和i1,2指示给网络,i1,3的取值范围或者候选值集合如下表1和表2所示,其中,表1为2层CSI报告中,i1,3与k1和k2的映射关系,表2为3或4层CSI报告中,在PCSI-RS<16的情况下,i1,3与k1和k2的映射关系,所述基矢量偏移量通过码本索引i1,3指示给网络侧设备,即用2bit来指示k1和k2,去掉N1方向的偏移量和N2方向的偏移量,其中,PCSI-RS为参考信号端口数量或预编码矩阵的行数。需要注意的是,之所以只用2bit来指示特定传输层数量的k1和k2,也是为了节省开销。但随着也会造成性能损失。
表1.
表2.
随着天线规模的不断提升或者对于通信速率的要求的不断提升,对于码本性能的要求也随之不断提升,因此,可能将在现有码本基矢量获取的基础上,利用增加上述指示方式中正交基矢量组的大小或者基矢量偏移量的候选值的数量,进一步,提升码本的大小(size),从而提升码本的性能。
然而在扩展了正交基矢量组的大小或者基矢量偏移量的候选值的数量后,意味着终端继续按照相关的方式指示CSI或者PMI关联的多个正交基矢量时,可能需要更多的指示开销。
此外,对于和在N1维度正交,N2维度不正交的情况,偏移量m1-m2的取值范围可能为{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1};对于和在N2维度正交,N1维度不正交,偏移量l1-l2的取值范围可能为{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}。通常情况下,N1和N2是不相同的,但是由于网络不知道和在N1维度正交还是在N2维度正交还是两个维度均正交,因此可能需要按照{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1}和{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}中的最大取值范围来配置PMI的反馈资源大小。因此可能需要更多的指示开销。
此外,相关技术中只能从一个2维正交的候选基矢量组中指示选择的基矢量(所述2维正交表示基矢量组中的任意2个基矢量在所有维度上均是正交的或者一个维度相同另一个维度正交),不能支持从一个1维正交的候选基矢量组中指示选择的基矢量(所述1维正交表示基矢量组中任意1个基矢量与一个参考基矢量在至少一个维度方向上是正交的,可能在某个维度上不正交)。
三、CSI报告
在相关技术中,协议支持将一个CSI报告承载到一个上行信道资源(PUCCH/PUSCH)上反馈给网络,或者多个CSI报告承载到一个上行信道资源(物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)/物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,PUSCH))上反馈给网络侧设备的情况。
对于承载于PUSCH的类型2(Type2)系列CSI报告,通常划分为2部分,CSI报告部分1和CSI报告部分2,每部分独立编码,且通过CSI报告部分1可以确定CSI报告部分2的大小。
如果出现CSI报告的负载大小(payload size)过大,导致无法承载的情况,则按照协议约定终端的行为可能为丢弃CSI报告的部分内容或者丢弃整个CSI报告。
由此可见,如何节约基矢量指示的开销或如何支持更加灵活的基矢量指示是目前需要解决的技术问题。针对该技术问题,本申请实施例提供了一种基矢量指示方案,以节约基矢量指示的开销。
下面结合附图,通过一些实施例及其应用场景对本申请实施例提供的基矢量指示方案进行详细地说明。
实施例一
图2示出本申请实施例中的基矢量指示方法的一种流程示意图,该方法200可以由终端执行。换言之,所述方法可以由安装在终端上的软件或硬件来执行。如图2所示,该方法可以包括以下步骤。
S210,终端获取待反馈的N个第一基矢量信息,其中,所述N个第一基矢量信息中的每个第一基矢量信息关联一个基矢量,所述第一基矢量信息包括以下至少之一:基矢量指示、基矢量偏移量指示,N为大于0的整数。
在本申请实施例中,终端可以根据对参考信号进行测量的结果,获取待反馈的N个基矢量关联的基矢量指示或基矢量偏移量指示。在本申请实施例中,一个基矢量关联一个第一基矢量信息。
在本申请实施例中,所述N个基矢量可以是预编码矩阵的组成部分。所述基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示用于确定所述N个基矢量。通常,所述基矢量指示可以确定基矢量的序号或者索引,基矢量偏移量指示可以确定基矢量的序号或者索引的偏移量,结合参考基矢量的序号或者索引可以确定其他基矢量的序号或者索引。通过终端反馈所述第一基矢量信息给网络侧设备,网络侧设备可以获得N个基矢量关联的N个基矢量序号或者索引,进一步确定预编码矩阵关联的基矢量。
S212,所述终端向网络侧设备反馈M个指示信息和N个所述第一基矢量信息,其中,所述指示信息用于确定N个所述第一基矢量信息的负载大小,M为大于0的整数。
在本申请实施例中,终端在获取待反馈的N个基矢量关联的第一基矢量信息之后,在向网络侧设备反馈获取的第一基矢量信息时,可以向网络侧设备反馈用于确定N个所述第一基矢量信息的负载大小的M个指示信息,从而使得网络侧设备可以基于M个指示信息确定终端反馈的N个第一基矢量信息的负载大小,进而从终端反馈的信息中解析出终端反馈的N个第一基矢量信息。
在本申请实施例中,M个指示信息和N个所述第一基矢量信息可以独立反馈,终端可以先反馈M个指示信息,然后再反馈N个所述第一基矢量信息。例如,终端可以通过CSI报告的第一部分反馈M个指示信息,通过CSI报告的第二部分反馈N个所述第一基矢量信息。
在本申请实施例中,终端向网络侧设备反馈用于确定N个所述第一基矢量信息的负载大小的M个指示信息,从而使得终端无需按照第一基矢量信息的最大负载大小反馈第一基矢量信息,从而节约了基矢量指示的开销。
在一些实施例中,M个指示信息包括:M个状态信息。
可选的,多个不同的所述状态信息关联的第一基矢量信息的负载大小不完全相同,可以理解为:不同的状态信息确定多个第一基矢量信息的负载大小完全不相同,或者,也可以理解为:不同的状态信息确定的多个第一基矢量信息的负载大小中至少部分负载大小是不相同的。或者,也可以理解为所有候选的状态信息中,存在至少2个状态信息,每个状态信息确定的至少一个第一基矢量信息的负载大小是不相同的。
在一些可选的实施方式中,M可以等于1,也就是说,终端反馈1个状态信息,所述1个状态信息用于确定N个基矢量关联的基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的负载大小(payload size),其中,N可以大于或等于1。在确定基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的payload size后,终端可以基于N个基矢量或者N个基矢量关联的基矢量偏移量获取payload size上的比特序列,将所述比特序列反馈给网络侧设备(即反馈N个第一基矢量信息)。
可选的,所述1个状态信息可以用于指示N个基矢量的一种状态组合。可选的,所述N可以基于网络信令指示的最大RI值确定。
在这些实施方式中,对于网络侧设备,首先接收终端反馈的1个状态信息,所述1个状态信息用于确定N个基矢量关联的基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的payload size(N大于或等于1)。然后网络侧设备基于所述payload size确定N个基矢量或者基矢量偏移量关联的比特序列,基于比特序列确定N个基矢量或者确定N个基矢量偏移量,进一步确定PMI或者CSI关联的所有基矢量,比如,所述N个基矢量偏移量和1个参考基矢量构成了CSI关联的所有空域基矢量。
在本申请实施例中,在不同的状态信息的情况下,N个基矢量关联的基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的payload size可能是不同的,在有些状态信息的情况下,对应的payload size可能明显小于最大的payload size,因此,通过终端向网络侧设备指示状态信息,所述状态信息用于确定N个基矢量指示或者N个基矢量偏移量指示的payload size这种方式,可以降低指示开销,因为如果没有状态信息的指示,终端需要按照最大的payload size的假设向网络侧设备指示N个基矢量指示或者N个基矢量偏移量指示。
在另一些实施方式中,M可以大于1,可选的,M可以等于N,即终端反馈N个状态信息,其中,1个状态信息用于确定1个基矢量关联的基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的payload size,在确定了各个基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的payload size后,终端基于所述基矢量或者所述基矢量关联的基矢量偏移量获取payload size上的比特序列,将所述比特序列(即N个第一基矢量信息)反馈给网络侧设备。
可选的,终端反馈N个状态信息的顺序与终端反馈N个基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的顺序相同。即,第一个状态信息对应第一个基矢量偏移量指示,第二个状态信息对应第二个基矢量偏移量指示,依次类推。或者,第一个反馈的状态信息对应第一个反馈的基矢量偏移量指示,第二个反馈的状态信息对应第二个反馈的基矢量偏移量指示,依次类推。可选的,N可以基于网络信令指示的最大RI值确定。
对于网络侧设备,首先接收终端反馈的N个状态信息,1个状态信息用于确定1个基矢量关联的基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的payload size。然后网络侧设备基于该状态信息确定的payload size确定1个基矢量或者基矢量偏移量关联的比特序列,基于比特序列确定1个基矢量或者确定1个基矢量偏移量,进一步确定PMI或者CSI关联的所有基矢量或者所述N个基矢量。或者,对于网络侧设备,首先接收终端反馈的N个状态信息,确定N个基矢量关联的基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的payload size,以及N个基矢量关联的基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的顺序,以及每个基矢量关联的基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的payload size。然后网络侧设备基于该状态信息确定的payload size确定每个基矢量或者基矢量偏移量关联的比特序列,基于比特序列确定每个基矢量或者确定每个基矢量偏移量,进一步确定PMI或者CSI关联的所有基矢量或者所述N个基矢量。
在本申请实施例中,不同的状态信息关联的1个基矢量的基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移量指示的payload size是不同的,对于有些状态信息,其确定的基矢量倣的payload size是明显小于最大的payload size,因此,通过终端向网络侧设备指示状态信息,所述状态信息用于确定1个基矢量指示或者1个基矢量偏移量指示的payload size的这种方式,可以降低指示开销,因为如果没有状态信息的指示,终端需要按照最大的payload size的假设向网络侧设备指示N个基矢量指示或者N个基矢量偏移量指示。
可选的,上述基矢量可以为多维基矢量,例如,空域的多维基矢量,或者空域-频域联合的多维基矢量,或者空域-时域联合的多维基矢量,或者空域-频域-时域联合的多维基矢量等。所述多维基矢量可以理解为通过多个向量克罗内科积(Kronecker product)获得,也可以理解为关联K个独立的参数的基矢量为K维基矢量。
可选的,所述状态信息当且仅当网络侧设备指示的最大RI取值大于特定值时存在,所述特定值可以为协议约定的值或者网络侧设备指示的值,例如,协议约定网络指示的最大RI大于4时,存在至少一个状态信息。
在一些可选的实施例中,M个所述状态信息用于指示以下至少之一:
1)第一基矢量与第二基矢量之间的关系;
2)所述N个第一基矢量信息中是否存在第三基矢量关联的第一基矢量信息;
其中,所述第一基矢量为以下之一:预定义的一个基矢量、所述N个基矢量中的一个基矢量、所述终端指示的一个基矢量;所述第二基矢量为与所述第一基矢量正交的基矢量;所述第三基矢量为与所述第一基矢量和所述第二基矢量中的之一正交的基矢量。
其中,M个所述状态信息用于指示第一基矢量与第二基矢量之间的关系,可以理解为:一个状态信息关联多对基矢量(第一基矢量与第二基矢量)之间的关系(可选的,每对基矢量的第一基矢量可以是相同的基矢量,也可以是不同的基矢量),或者一个状态信息关联一对基矢量之间的关系。可选的,一个状态信息关联多对基矢量之间的关系且每对基矢量的第一基矢量可以是相同的基矢量时,也可以理解为或者等价为:1个状态信息用于指示第一基矢量与多个不同的第二基矢量之间的关系。
在上述实施例中,终端可以先反馈基矢量之间的关系给网络侧设备,从而可以帮助网络侧设备判断两个基矢量之间的位置关系(所述位置关系可以理解为基矢量序号或者索引的数学关系),以及这种位置关系下基矢量偏移量的候选集合的范围,避免网络侧设备始终基于最大的候选集合的范围去获取每个基矢量的位置或者基矢量的序号,从而降低基矢量的指示开销。
在本实施例中,基矢量序号也可以理解为基矢量索引或者基矢量参数,基矢量序号之间的数学关系可以理解为基矢量索引或者基矢量参数之间的数学关系。
可选的,所述第一基矢量与第二基矢量之间的关系包括:所述第一基矢量关联的第一基矢量序号与所述第二基矢量关联的第二基矢量序号之间的关系。例如,第一基矢量序号与第二基矢量序号之间的数学关系。其中,所述数学关系可以理解为:第一基矢量序号与第二基矢量序号的差或者和满足一定的数学规律,所述第一基矢量序号或所述第二基矢量序号可以为一个多维基矢量关联的一维基矢量序号,也可以为一个多维基矢量的每个维度的基矢量序号。例如,二维基矢量关联的一维基矢量序号为n=n1*N2+n2或者n=n1*N2*O2+n2,其中,n1表示二维基矢量的一个维度的基矢量序号,n2表示二维基矢量的另一个维度的基矢量序号,n表示一维基矢量序号。相当于把二维基矢量的2个基矢量序号通过一种映射方式映射为一维的一个基矢量序号。又例如,一个二维基矢量的基矢量序号之间的数学关系表示每个维度的基矢量序号之间的数学关系。
例如,所述M个状态信息可以用于指示第一个终端指示或者选择的基矢量与第二个终端指示或者选择的基矢量之间的基矢量序号的数学关系,以及第一个终端指示或者选择的基矢量与第三个终端指示或者选择的基矢量之间的基矢量序号的数学关系,以及第一个终端指示或者选择的基矢量与第四个终端指示或者选择的基矢量之间的基矢量序号的数学关系。又例如,所述状态信息可以用于指示第一个终端指示或者选择的基矢量与第二个终端指示或者选择的基矢量之间的基矢量序号的数学关系,以及第二个终端指示或者选择的基矢量与第三个终端指示或者选择的基矢量之间的基矢量序号的数学关系,以及第三个终端指示或者选择的基矢量与第四个终端指示或者选择的基矢量之间的基矢量序号的数学关系。
可选的,第一基矢量与第二基矢量之间的关系可以为:第二基矢量关联的第二基矢量序号与第一基矢量关联的第一基矢量序号之间的差值为特定值(例如,O1或者O2)的整数倍。因此,终端仅需要向网络侧设备指示所述整数倍的具体数值即可,可以节省相应的指示开销。如果没有状态信息,终端不能按照基矢量序号之间的差值为特定值的整数倍来确定用于指示的比特序列的长度,因为网络侧设备不清楚两个基矢量的序号的差值是特定值的整数倍还是非整数倍,通过只能按照非整数倍来确定比特序列的长度,开销较大。
可选的,第一基矢量与第二基矢量之间的关系可以为:第二基矢量关联的某一维度的基矢量序号与第一基矢量关联的某一维度的基矢量序号之间的差值为特定值(例如,O1或者O2)的整数倍。所述某一维度为多个维度中的一个维度。
可选的,第一基矢量与第二基矢量之间的关系可以为:第二基矢量关联的第二基矢量序号与第一基矢量关联的第一基矢量序号之间的差值(所述差值可以理解为直接做差,也可以理解为做差后对特定值取余数)的候选集合,可以理解为,状态信息用于指示或者确定第二基矢量关联的第二基矢量序号与第一基矢量关联的第一基矢量序号的差值的候选集合。因此,终端仅需要向网络侧设备指示所述候选集合中的一个值即可,避免使用最大的候选集合来确定比特序列的长度,因此可以节省相应的指示开销。
可选的,状态信息用于指示或者确定第二基矢量的每个基矢量维度关联的基矢量序号与第一基矢量相应基矢量维度关联的基矢量序号之间的差值(所述差值可以理解为直接做差,也可以理解为做差后对特定值取余数)的候选集合,因此,终端仅需要向网络指示所述候选集合中的一个值即可。例如,第一基矢量为2维基矢量,关联的基矢量序号为第二基矢量为2维基矢量,关联的基矢量序号为所述状态信息指示第二基矢量与第一基矢量在第一个维度序号之间的差值候选集合为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1},所述状态信息指示第二基矢量与第一基矢量在第二个维度序号之间的差值候选集合为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N2-1)*O1},终端仅需要向网络侧设备指示每个维度在所述候选集合中的一个值即可。可选的,如果没有状态信息,第一个维度序号之间的差值候选集合为{1,2,…,(N1O1-1)},第二个维度序号之间的差值候选集合为{1,2,…,(N2O2-1)},因此需要更多的指示开销。
在一个可选的实施方式中,所述第一基矢量与第二基矢量之间的关系包括以下至少之一:
1)所述第一基矢量与所述第二基矢量位于相同的目标基矢量组,所述目标基矢量组包括以下之一:协议约定的一个基矢量组、网络侧设备指示的一个基矢量组;
2)所述第一基矢量与所述第二基矢量位于不同的目标基矢量组;
3)所述第一基矢量与所述第二基矢量基于第一维度正交;
4)所述第一基矢量与所述第二基矢量基于第一维度不正交;
5)所述第一基矢量与所述第二基矢量在第一维度上的基矢量索引相同;
6)所述第一基矢量与所述第二基矢量在第一维度上的基矢量索引不相同;
7)所述第一基矢量与所述第二基矢量基于基矢量关联的所有维度正交;
其中,所述第一维度为基矢量关联的多个维度中的一个维度。可选地,所述状态信息用于指示或者确定第二基矢量的部分基矢量维度关联的第二基矢量序号与第一基矢量相应的基矢量维度关联的第一基矢量序号是相同的,即所述差值的候选集合中仅包括0值。例如,一对基矢量中,第一基矢量为2维基矢量,关联的基矢量序号第二基矢量为2维基矢量,关联的基矢量序号状态信息指示第二基矢量与第一基矢量在第一个维度序号是相同的,第二个维度序号之间的差值的候选集合为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N2-1)*O1}。
可选的,所述第一基矢量与第二基矢量之间的关系为第二基矢量与第一基矢量的正交关系。例如,所述状态信息用于指示第二基矢量与第一基矢量在N1方向正交,或者在N2方向正交,或者N1方向正交且N2方向正交。终端进一步基于所述第二基矢量与第一基矢量的正交关系,确定第二基矢量关联的基矢量指示或者基矢量偏移指示的payload size,进一步基于所述payload size将第二基矢量关联的基矢量偏移值指示给网络设备。通常,2个基矢量在N1方向正交,意味着在N1方向,基矢量序号差值为O1的整数倍。2个基矢量在N2方向正交,意味着在N2方向,基矢量序号差值为O2的整数倍。又例如,所述状态信息用于指示第二基矢量与第一基矢量在N1方向正交且N2方向基矢量序号相同,或者在N2方向正交且N1方向基矢量序号相同,或者N1方向正交且N2基矢量序号不同,或者在N2方向正交且N1方向基矢量序号不相同。
对于M个状态信息用于指示所述多个第一基矢量信息中是否存在第三基矢量关联的第一基矢量信息,可以理解为:1个状态信息用于指示是否存在第三基矢量,所述第三基矢量为与第一基矢量和第二基矢量正交的多个基矢量。也可以理解为:1个状态信息用于指示是否存在第三基矢量,所述第三基矢量为与第一基矢量和第二基矢量正交的一个基矢量。也可以理解为:1个状态信息用于指示第一基矢量与第二基矢量之间的关系之外还用于指示是否存在第三基矢量。
下面通过具体示例进行说明。
示例1
在本示例中,终端反馈的CSI的第一部分(part1)中指示每个基矢量相对于第一个基矢量的状态可以为以下之一:
1、N1方向正交,或者,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1,2,…,(N2O2-1)}(或者{1,2,…,(N2O2-1)}且不包括{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2});
2、N2方向正交,或者,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1,2,…,(N1O1-1)}(或者{1,2,…,(N1O1-1)}且不包括{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1})以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2};
3、N1方向和N2方向均正交,或者,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。
可选的,当CSI的第一部分(part1)中指示的RI值小于最大RI值时,CSI part1中用于指示状态信息的bit序列的长度,可以仍然按照最大RI值确定的基矢量数量确定。但是有效的状态信息数量是基于CSI part1中的RI的值确定的。例如,最大允许的RI值为8,即最多反馈状态信息的基矢量数量为3(第二个基矢量、第三个基矢量、第四个基矢量),终端选择的RI为6,即终端反馈的有效的状态信息为第二个基矢量和第三个基矢量的状态信息。此时因为CSI part1是固定长度的,因此,CSI part1中还可能存在第四个基矢量关联的bit序列。可选的,此时第四个基矢量关联的bit序列指示的状态信息可以为任意状态信息,也可以为全0序列或者全1序列。
对于CSI报告关联4个基矢量的情况(例如:CSI part1中的RI的值为8),CSI part1中指示3个基矢量相对于第一个基矢量的状态,每个基矢量在CSI part1中用于状态信息指示的bit序列长度为2比特。在CSI part2中,最小的指示开销为3个基矢量均为N1方向和N2方向均正交,即可能为:3*(ceil(log2(N1-1))+ceil(log2(N2-1))),其中ceil表示向上取值。如果不采用上述方法,直接进行指示,不在CSI part1中指示状态信息,则CSI part2中需要指示每个基矢量是((N1-1)N2O2+(N2-1)N1O1)-(N1-1)*(N2-1)个与第一个基矢量正交的基矢量中的哪一个,需要ceil(log2((N1-1)N2O2+(N2-1)N1O1)-(N1-1)*(N2-1)))比特,明显较大。
对于网络设备,网络设备接收CSI part1中的状态指示的bit序列,确定3个基矢量相对于第一个基矢量的状态,进一步,确定每个基矢量相对于第一个基矢量的基矢量偏移量指示关联的比特序列的长度(CSI part2中)。此外,网络设备接收CSI part2,确定第一个基矢量关联的基矢量序号,基于3个基矢量关联的bit序列确定基矢量偏移量的值后,结合第一个基矢量关联的基矢量序号,确定其他基矢量的基矢量序号,进一步确定预编码矩阵关联的所有基矢量。
对于网络侧设备,网络侧设备接收CSI part1中的状态信息的bit序列,确定3个基矢量相对于第一个基矢量的状态,进一步,确定每个基矢量相对于第一个基矢量的基矢量偏移量指示关联的比特序列的长度(CSI part2中)。此外,网络侧设备接收CSI part2,确定第一个基矢量关联的基矢量序号,基于3个基矢量关联的bit序列确定基矢量偏移量的值后,结合第一个基矢量关联的基矢量序号,确定其他基矢量的基矢量序号,进一步确定预编码矩阵关联的所有基矢量。

在本示例中,如果存在第二个基矢量,终端反馈的CSI part1中指示第二个基矢量的状态信息为以下之一:
1)与第一个基矢量N1方向正交,或者,相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1,2,…,(N2O2-1)}(或者{1,2,…,(N2O2-1)}且不包括{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2});
2)与第一个基矢量N2方向正交,或者,相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1,2,…,(N1O1-1)}(或者{1,2,…,(N1O1-1)}且不包括{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1})以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2};
3)与第一个基矢量N1方向和N2方向均正交,或者,相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。
如果存在第三个基矢量,终端反馈的CSI part1中指示第三个基矢量的状态信息为以下之一:

2)与第一个基矢量N2方向正交,或者,相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1,2,…,(N1O1-1)}(或者{1,2,…,(N1O1-1)}且不包括{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1})以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2};
3)与第一个基矢量N1方向和N2方向均正交,或者,相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2};
4)与第二个基矢量N1方向和N2方向均正交,或者,相对于第二个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。
如果存在第四个基矢量,终端反馈的CSI part1中指示第四个基矢量的状态信息为以下之一:
1)与第一个基矢量N1方向正交,或者,相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1,2,…,(N2O2-1)}(或者{1,2,…,(N2O2-1)}且不包括{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2});
2)与第一个基矢量N2方向正交,或者,相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1,2,…,(N1O1-1)}(或者{1,2,…,(N1O1-1)}且不包括{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1})以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2};
3)与第一个基矢量N1方向和N2方向均正交,或者,相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2};
4)与第二个基矢量N1方向和N2方向均正交,或者,相对于第二个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2};
5)与第三个基矢量N1方向和N2方向均正交,或者,相对于第三个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。
如果存在第五个基矢量、第六个基矢量等等,以此类推。
可选的,当CSI part1中指示的RI值小于最大RI值时,CSI part1中用于指示状态信息的bit序列的长度,仍然按照最大RI值确定的基矢量数量确定。但是有效的状态信息数量是基于CSI part1中的RI的值确定的。例如:最大允许的RI值为8,即最多反馈状态信息的基矢量数量为3(第二个基矢量、第三个基矢量、第四个基矢量),终端选择的RI为6,即终端反馈的有效的状态信息为第二个基矢量和第三个基矢量的状态信息。由于CSI part1为固定长度,因此,CSI part1中还可以存在第四个基矢量关联的bit序列。可选的,此时第四个基矢量关联的bit序列指示的状态信息可以为任意状态信息,也可以为全0序列或者全1序列。
对于CSI报告关联4个基矢量的情况,CSI part1中指示3个基矢量相对于第一个基矢量的状态信息,第二个基矢量在CSIpart1中用于指示状态信息的bit序列长度为2比特。第三个基矢量在CSIpart1中用于指示状态信息的bit序列长度为2比特。第四个基矢量在CSIpart1中用于指示状态信息的bit序列长度为3比特。在CSI part2中,最小的指示开销为3个基矢量均为N1方向和N2方向均正交,即可能为:3*(ceil(log2(N1-1))+ceil(log2(N2-1))),其中ceil表示向上取值。相比于示例1,由于第三个基矢量引入了相对于第二个基矢量的状态信息,以及第四个基矢量引入了相对于第二个基矢量和第三个基矢量的状态信息,出现N1方向和N2方向均正交的状态的概率更加大,更加容易出现最小的指示开销的情况。因此,节省开销的概率增加,或者更加容易节省开销。
示例3
在本示例中,终端反馈的CSI part1中指示每个基矢量相对于第一个基矢量的状态信息为以下之一:
1)N1方向基矢量序号相同,或者,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{0}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2};
2)N2方向基矢量序号相同,或者,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1};以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{0};
3)N1方向正交且N1方向基矢量序号不同,或者,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{0,1,2,…,(N2O2-1)};
4)N2方向正交且N2方向基矢量序号不同,或者,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{0,1,2,…,(N1O1-1)}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。
可选的,当CSI part1中指示的RI值小于最大RI值时,CSI part1中用于指示状态信息的bit序列的长度,仍然按照最大RI值确定的基矢量数量确定。但是有效的状态信息数量是基于CSI part1中的RI的值确定的。例如:最大允许的RI值为8,即最多反馈状态信息的基矢量数量为3(第二个基矢量、第三个基矢量、第四个基矢量),终端选择的RI为6,即终端反馈的有效的状态信息为第二个基矢量和第三个基矢量的状态。此时由于CSI part1是固定长度的,CSI part1中还可能存在第四个基矢量关联的bit序列。可选的,此时第四个基矢量关联的bit序列指示的状态信息可以为任意状态信息,也可以为全0序列或者全1序列。
对于CSI报告关联4个基矢量的情况,CSI part1中指示3个基矢量相对于第一个基矢量的状态信息,每个基矢量在CSI part1中用于指示状态信息的bit序列长度为2比特。在CSI part2中,最小的指示开销为3个基矢量均为N1方向基矢量序号相同,即可能为:3*(ceil(log2(N2-1))),其中ceil表示向上取值。如果不采用上述方法,直接进行指示,不在CSI part1中指示状态信息,则CSI part2中需要指示每个基矢量是((N1-1)N2O2+(N2-1)N1O1)-(N1-1)*(N2-1)个与第一个基矢量正交的基矢量中的哪一个,需要ceil(log2((N1-1)N2O2+(N2-1)N1O1)-(N1-1)*(N2-1)))比特,明显较大。
示例4
在本示例中,如果存在第二个基矢量,终端反馈的CSI part1中指示第二个基矢量的状态信息为以下之一:

如果存在第四个基矢量,终端反馈的CSI part1中指示第四个基矢量的状态信息为以下之一:
1)相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号相同,或者,相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{0}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2};
2)相对于第一个基矢量,N2方向基矢量序号相同,或者,相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1};以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{0};
3)相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向正交且N1方向基矢量序号不同,或者,相对于第一个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{0,1,2,…,(N2O2-1)};

8)相对于第三个基矢量,N2方向基矢量序号相同,或者,相对于第三个基矢量,N1方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1};以及N2方向基矢量序号偏移量的取值范围为{0};
如果存在第五个基矢量、第六个基矢量等等,以此类推增加相应的状态。
可选的,当CSI part1中指示的RI值小于最大RI值时,CSI part1中用于指示状态信息的bit序列的长度,仍然按照最大RI值确定的基矢量数量确定。但是有效的状态信息数量是基于CSI part1中的RI的值确定的。例如:最大允许的RI值为8,即最多反馈状态的基矢量数量为3(第二个基矢量、第三个基矢量、第四个基矢量),终端选择的RI为6,即终端反馈的有效的状态信息为第二个基矢量和第三个基矢量的状态信息。此时由于CSI part1是固定长度的,CSI part1中还可能存在第四个基矢量关联的bit序列。可选的,此时第四个基矢量关联的bit序列指示的状态信息可以为任意状态信息,也可以为全0序列或者全1序列。
对于CSI报告关联4个基矢量的情况,CSI part1中,第二个基矢量用于指示状态信息示的bit序列长度为2比特,第三个基矢量用于指示状态信息的bit序列长度为3比特,第四个基矢量用于指示状态信息的bit序列长度为3比特。在CSI part2中,最小的指示开销为3个基矢量均为N1方向基矢量序号相同,即可能为:3*(ceil(log2(N2-1))),其中ceil表示向上取值。相比于示例3,由于第三个基矢量引入了相对于第二个基矢量的状态信息,以及第四个基矢量引入了相对于第二个基矢量和第三个基矢量的状态信息,出现N1方向或者N2方向基矢量序号相同的状态的概率更加大,更加容易出现最小的指示开销的情况。因此,节省开销的概率增加,或者更加容易节省开销。
示例5
在本示例中,终端反馈的CSI part1中指示除第一个基矢量外的所有基矢量的状态信息的一种组合(即终端反馈1个状态信息指示所有基矢量的状态),所述所有基矢量为网络侧设备指示的最大RI值对应的基矢量数量减去1或者基于网络侧设备指示的最大RI值确定。当最大RI值为7或者8时,共4个基矢量,则每个组合包括{第二个基矢量的状态,第三个基矢量的状态,第四个基矢量的状态}。当最大RI值为5或者6时,共3个基矢量,则每个组合包括{第二个基矢量的状态,第三个基矢量的状态}。
对于组合中的每个基矢量的状态,从以下状态中选择1个状态:

例如,对于2个2维的基矢量和其中m1∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},m2∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},l1∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1},l2∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}。如果在N1维度正交,则表示l1-l2的取值范围可能为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1},如果在N2维度正交,则表示m1-m2的取值范围可能为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。如果在N1维度正交,且N2维度正交,则表示l1-l2的取值范围可能为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}且m1-m2的取值范围可能为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。
又例如,对于2个2维的基矢量和其中m1∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},m2∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},l1∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1},l2∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}。如果在N1维度正交,则表示l1-l2的取值范围可能为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1},且m1-m2的取值范围可能为{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1}。或者,m1-m2的取值范围可能为{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1}且不包括{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。
又例如,对于2个2维的基矢量和其中m1∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},m2∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},l1∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1},l2∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}。如果在N2维度正交,则表示m1-m2的取值范围可能为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。且l1-l2的取值范围可能为{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}或者{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}且不包括{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}。
上述实施例中,通过引入基矢量之间的关系,使得终端在多个正交组中选择基矢量时,仍然保证选择的基矢量是正交的。
可选的,在CSI报告或者PMI关联的至少2个基矢量的情况下,所述至少2个基矢量关联至少2个基矢量组,其中,每个基矢量组中的至少2个基矢量满足以下一种情况:
a)仅第三维度是正交的;
b)所有维度均是正交的;
c)至少一个维度是正交的。
其中,终端可以基于协议约定或者网络信令指示,确定所述至少2个基矢量关联至少2个基矢量组。
例如,PMI关联的至少2个基矢量可以分为至少2个基矢量组,则只需要保证每个基矢量组中的至少2个基矢量是正交的即可。或者只需要保证存在2个及2个以上基矢量的基矢量组中的基矢量是正交的即可。
基于同一技术构思,本申请实施例还提供了另一种基矢量指示方法,该方法由网络侧设备执行。
需要说明的是,下面实施例只对网络侧设备的操作进行说明,其它未尽事宜,可以参考上述关于方法300的相关描述。
图5示出本申请实施例提供的基矢量指示方法的一种流程图,该方法500可以由网络侧设备执行。换言之,所述方法可以由安装在网络侧设备上的软件或硬件来执行。如图5所示,该方法主要包括以下步骤。
S510,网络侧设备接收终端指示每个第二基矢量信息所映射的正整数,其中,所述第二基矢量信息包括以下之一:基矢量偏移量、基矢量索引;
在本申请实施例中,每个第二基矢量信息关联一个基矢量。
S512,所述网络侧设备基于终端指示的正整数,确定每个所述第二基矢量信息的目标映射规则,其中,多个不同的正整数对应的目标映射规则不完全相同。
在本申请实施例中,网络侧设备可以确定每个目标映射规则关联的正整数或者正整数的范围,进一步基于每个第二基矢量信息所映射的正整数确定对应的每个目标映射规则。
S514,所述网络侧设备基于每个所述第二基矢量信息关联的所述目标映射规则和关联的所述正整数,获取每个所述正整数映射的第二基矢量信息。
在一个可选的方式中,所述方法还可以包括:
步骤1,所述网络侧设备接收所述终端指示的至少一个参考基矢量;
步骤2,所述网络侧设备基于所述至少一个参考基矢量和每个所述正整数映射的第二基矢量信息,获取每个第二基矢量信息关联的基矢量。
在一个可选的实现方式中,所述目标参数包括以下至少之一:
1)n1∈{0,1,…,N1-1},其中,N1为水平方向的基矢量长度,n1为水平方向的一个正交基矢量组内的基矢量索引;
2)n2∈{0,1,…,N2-1},N2为垂直方向的基矢量长度,n2为垂直方向的一个正交基矢量组内的基矢量索引;
3)o1∈{0,1,…,O1-1},O1为水平方向的过采样因子,o1为水平方向正交基矢量组索引;
4)o2∈{0,1,…,O2-1},O2为垂直方向的过采样因子,o2为垂直方向正交基矢量组索引;
5)l∈{0,1,…,O1*N1-1},l为水平方向的基矢量索引;
6)m∈{0,1,…,O2*N2-1},m为垂直方向的基矢量索引。
通过本申请实施例提供的技术方案,可以将取值范围不连续的基矢量偏移量或者基矢量索引映射到一个取值范围的正整数集合中,或者将取值不连续的2维的基矢量偏移量或者基矢量索引映射到一个取值范围的一维的正整数集合中,从而可以避免一串连续的整数的中间存在很多的整数不关联任何的基矢量偏移量或者基矢量索引,而导致基矢量指示开销较大的问题。
实施例三
图6示出本申请实施例提供的基矢量指示方法的一种流程示意图,该方法600可以由终端执行。换言之,所述方法可以由安装在终端上的软件或硬件来执行。如图6所示,该方法主要包括以下步骤。
S610,终端确定待反馈的N个基矢量,其中,N为大于1的整数。
在本申请实施例中,终端可以基于对参考信号的测量,确定待反馈的N个基矢量。
S612,所述终端向网络侧设备反馈N个基矢量组指示和一个基矢量指示,其中,所述N个基矢量组指示的每个基矢量组指示用于指示一个所述基矢量所属的基矢量组,所述基矢量指示用于指示所述N个基矢量中每个基矢量在基矢量组内的局部索引,每个所述基矢量组中的基矢量是相互正交的。
在本申请实施例中,所述N个基矢量组以及N个基矢量的局部索引可以确定N个基矢量的全局索引。所述一个基矢量的局部索引指的是一个基矢量在其关联的基矢量组中的索引。所述一个基矢量的全局索引指的是一个基矢量在所有基矢量组中的索引。
在本申请实施例中,N个基矢量组指示和一个基矢量指示可以独立反馈,终端可以先反馈N个基矢量组指示,后反馈一个基矢量指示。例如,终端在CSI part1中反馈N个基矢量组指示,在CSI part2中反馈所述一个基矢量指示。又例如:终端在CSI part2中先反馈N个基矢量组指示,再反馈所述一个基矢量指示。
在本申请实施例中,终端反馈N个基矢量组指示的顺序为:按照每个基矢量组关联的基矢量在基矢量组中的局部索引从小到大的顺序反馈N个基矢量组指示,或者,按照每个基矢量组关联的基矢量在基矢量组中的局部索引从大到小的顺序反馈N个基矢量组指示。例如:基矢量组1关联基矢量1的局部索引是0,基矢量组2关联基矢量2的局部索引是2,基矢量组3关联基矢量3的局部索引是1,则基矢量组的指示顺序为基矢量组1、基矢量组3、基矢量组2。
在本申请实施例中,终端指示N个基矢量组和一个基矢量指示让网络侧设备确定N个基矢量。由于一个基矢量指示是N个基矢量的局部索引进行联合编码的,相比于N个基矢量独立的指示给网络侧设备的情况,可以降低N个基矢量的局部索引的指示开销。
另外,相关技术中只能从一个2维正交的候选基矢量组中指示选择的基矢量(所述2维正交表示基矢量组中的任意2个基矢量在所有维度上均是正交的或者一个维度相同另一个维度正交),不能支持从一个1维正交的候选基矢量组中指示选择的基矢量(所述1维正交表示基矢量组中任意1个基矢量与一个参考基矢量在至少一个维度方向上是正交的,可能在某个维度上不正交),然而在本申请实施例提供的技术方案中,终端向网络侧设备指示N个基矢量的基矢量组,因此,终端可以从一个基矢量组中选择多个基矢量,提高了基矢量指示的灵活性。
在一些实施方式中,所述基矢量指示关联一个组合数,所述组合数用于指示所述N个基矢量中每个基矢量在基矢量组中的局部索引。
对于终端反馈N(N大于或等于1)个基矢量组指示用于确定N个基矢量组,可选的,所述N的取值基于终端向网络侧设备指示的RI的取值确定,或者终端在CSI part1中显式或者隐式向网络侧设备指示的N的取值。
在一些实施方式中,终端可以从多个正交的基矢量组选择N个基矢量组,从所述N个基矢量组中的每个基矢量组确定一个待反馈的基矢量。
可选的,在上述实施方式中,终端还可以向网络侧设备指示选择的所述N个基矢量组。
例如,终端向网络反馈N个基矢量组,每个基矢量组中包括相互正交的N1*N2个基矢量。所述N个基矢量组为从O1*O2个基矢量组中选择的N个基矢量组。其中,N个基矢量组中可能存在至少部分基矢量组为相同的基矢量组,也可能每个基矢量组均为不相同的基矢量组,也可能所有基矢量组均为相同的基矢量组。
例如,在图7中,N1=4,O1=4,N2=2,O2=4,则N1方向共计N1*O1=16个基矢量索引,可以理解为:基矢量索引li∈{0,1,…,15}。N2方向共计N2*O2=8个基矢量索引,可以理解为:mi∈{0,1,…,7}。共计可以划分为O1*O2=16个基矢量组,图中相同填充图案的为一个基矢量组中的基矢量,不同填充图案为不同的基矢量组。每个基矢组中包括N1*N2=8个互相正交的基矢量。上述的方式(终端向网络侧设备反馈N个基矢量组,每个基矢量组中包括相互正交的N1*N2个基矢量。所述N个基矢量组为从O1*O2个基矢量组中选择的N个基矢量组。)中,终端向网络侧设备反馈N个基矢量组指示,每个基矢量组指示用于指示16个基矢量组中的一个基矢量组。N个基矢量组指示中可能存在多个基矢量组指示所指示相同的基矢量组,可以理解为,每个基矢量组指示独立指示。
在另一些实施方式中,所述终端可以确定N个正交的基矢量,其中,每个所述基矢量关联多个正交的基矢量组中的一个基矢量组。可选的,终端还向网络侧设备反馈N个基矢量关联N个基矢量组。所述N个基矢量中的一个基矢量是从O1*O2个基矢量组中选择的1个基矢量组并在所述基矢量组中选择一个基矢量。所述N个基矢量中的剩余的N-1个基矢量组是从O1+O2-1个基矢量组中选择的N-1个基矢量,每个基矢量关联N-1个基矢量组中的一个基矢量组。其中N个基矢量组中可能存在至少部分基矢量组为相同的基矢量组,也可能每个基矢量组均为不相同的基矢量组,也可能所有基矢量组均为相同的基矢量组。
例如,在图7中,N1=4,O1=4,N2=2,O2=4,则N1方向共计N1*O1=16个基矢量索引,可以理解为:基矢量索引li∈{0,1,…,15}。N2方向共计N2*O2=8个基矢量索引,可以理解为:mi∈{0,1,…,7}。共计可以划分为O1*O2=16个基矢量组,图中相同填充图案的为一个基矢量组中的基矢量,不同填充图案的为不同的基矢量组。每个基矢组中包括N1*N2=8个互相正交的基矢量。假设终端向网络侧设备指示N个基矢量中的第一个基矢量为标记第一个波束(first beam的位置)(基矢量序号为(li=0,mi=4)),由于其余N-1个基矢量要与第一个基矢量正交,则N-1个基矢量的位置只能从图8中有填充图案的位置中选择。图8中有填充图案的基矢量组共计O1+O2-1个基矢量组。因此,所述N个基矢量中的一个基矢量是从O1*O2个基矢量组中选择的1个基矢量组(组1)并从这个基矢量组中选择一个基矢量(基矢量1)。所述N个基矢量中剩余的N-1个基矢量是从与组1关联的O1+O2-1个基矢量组中选择的N-1个基矢量(除基矢量1外)。可以理解为:这种方式基矢量组的指示开销要小于第一种指示方式(从O1*O2个基矢量组中选择的N个基矢量组)。
在本申请实施例中,对于终端反馈一个基矢量指示,所述基矢量指示可以关联一个组合数,所述组合数用于指示N个基矢量的局部索引。可以理解为所述基矢量指示关联的组合数通过N个基矢量的局部索引确定,所述每个基矢量的局部索引关联一个基矢量组。也可以理解为:每个基矢量组关联一个基矢量的局部索引。
在一些可选的实施方式中,终端确定N个基矢量组以及每个基矢量组中的一个基矢量,N个基矢量组中可能存在部分基矢量组是相同的基矢量组。对于每个基矢量组,包括N1*N2个正交的基矢量,对于每个基矢量组关联的一个基矢量,其关联的局部索引为集合{0,1,…,N1*N2-1}中的一个值。所有基矢量关联的局部索引的值为不同的。终端对于所有基矢量关联的局部索引进行排列,然后按照协议约定的映射规则或者函数规则确定一个组合数。网络侧设备接收到这个组合数后,进行解映射确定N个局部索引,进一步结合N个基矢量组指示,确定N个基矢量的全局索引。所述一个基矢量的局部索引指的是一个基矢量在其关联的基矢量组中的索引。所述一个基矢量的全局索引指的是一个基矢量在所有基矢量组中的索引。
在上述实施方式中,通过先指示基矢量组,再利用组合数进行联合编码来指示所有基矢量,避免每个基矢量独立指示,利用组合数的性质来可以减少基矢量偏移量指示开销。
可选的,终端向网络侧设备指示N个第一基矢量组指示的指示顺序与局部索引排序后的基矢量的顺序对应。例如,终端确定基矢量1(关联基矢量组1)、基矢量2(关联基矢量组2)、基矢量3(关联基矢量组3),基于局部索引从小到大排序后的基矢量的顺序为:基矢量2、基矢量1、基矢量3。则终端向网络侧设备指示的3个基矢量组指示的顺序为:基矢量组2、基矢量组1、基矢量组3。也可以理解为,终端将N个基矢量组指示映射到上行控制信息(Uplink Control Information,UCI)时,从高位到低位,N个基矢量组对应的N个基矢量关联的局部索引是从小到大的或者从大到小的。
本申请实施例提供的上述实施方式适用于一个PMI关联N个正交的基矢量的情况,也适用于一个PMI的一个传输层关联N个正交的基矢量情况,也适用于一个PMI的一个频域子带(subband)或者一组频域子带(subband group)关联N个正交的基矢量的情况。可以理解为:对于一个PMI,如果确定M个正交的基矢量组,每个基矢量组中包括终端确定的Ni(i=1,…,M)个正交的基矢量。则对于每个所述的正交的基矢量组,均可以使用上述的方式进行Ni个正交的基矢量的指示或者确定。可以理解为每个基矢量组独立进行Ni个正交的基矢量的指示,可选的,不同的基矢量组,Ni的取值不同。例如:一个PMI关联多个传输层,每个传输层关联N个正交的基矢量,那么对于每个传输层,终端指示N个基矢量组和一个组合数。
本申请实施例提供的上述实施方式也适用于终端确定待反馈的N个基矢量偏移量的情况。对于这种情况所述终端向网络侧设备反馈N个基矢量组指示和一个基矢量指示,其中,所述N个基矢量组指示可以直接确定N个基矢量偏移量关联的N个基矢量关联的基矢量组,也可以是N个基矢量组指示确定N个基矢量偏移量关联的N个基矢量关联的基矢量组偏移量,进一步基于一个参考基矢量组,确定N个基矢量关联的N个基矢量组。其中,所述一个基矢量指示用于指示所述N个基矢量偏移量中每个基矢量偏移量在基矢量组中的局部索引。所述N个基矢量组以及N个基矢量偏移量的局部索引可以确定N个基矢量偏移量的全局索引。所述一个基矢量偏移量的全局索引和一个参考基矢量可以确定一个与参考基矢量正交的基矢量。
在一个可选的实现方式中,该方法还可以包括:所述终端确定信道状态信息报告和预编码矩阵指示中的至少之一关联的多个基矢量,其中,所述多个基矢量满足以下之一:
仅第四维度是正交的;
所有维度均是正交的;
至少一个维度是正交的;
其中,所述第四维度为基矢量关联的多个维度中的一个维度。
其中,对于2维的空域基矢量,可以理解为:第四维度为N1方向关联的维度或者N2方向关联的维度,或者第四维度为水平维度或者垂直维度,或者第四维度为基矢量vl,m中参数l关联的维度或者参数m关联的维度。
其中,所述所有维度为基矢量关联的多个维度中的所有维度。
其中,所述至少一个维度是正交的,可以理解为,多个维度中至少一个维度是正交的。
对于所述第四维度是正交的或者一个维度是正交的,可以理解为:如果两个基矢量的第四维度上是正交的,表示在该维度上,基矢量索引属于同一个正交的基矢量索引组,或者在该维度上,基矢量索引差为O1或者O2的整数倍,其中O1和O2表示N1方向和N2方向的过采样因子。
例如,对于2个2维的基矢量和其中m1∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},m2∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},l1∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1},l2∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}。如果在N1维度正交,则表示l1-l2的取值范围可能为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1},如果在N2维度正交,则表示m1-m2的取值范围可能为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。如果在N1维度正交,且N2维度正交,则表示l1-l2的取值范围可能为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}且m1-m2的取值范围可能为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。
又例如,对于2个2维的基矢量和其中m1∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},m2∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},l1∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1},l2∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}。如果在N1维度正交,则表示l1-l2的取值范围可能为{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1},且m1-m2的取值范围可能为{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1}。或者,m1-m2的取值范围可能为{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1}且不包括{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。
又例如,对于2个2维的基矢量和其中m1∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},m2∈{0,1,2,…,N2*O2-1},l1∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1},l2∈{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}。如果在N2维度正交,则表示m1-m2的取值范围可能为{1*O2,2*O2,…,(N2-1)*O2}。且l1-l2的取值范围可能为{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}或者{0,1,2,…,N1*O1-1}且不包括{1*O1,2*O1,…,(N1-1)*O1}。
上述实施例中,通过引入基矢量之间的关系,使得终端在多个正交组中选择基矢量时,仍然保证选择的基矢量是正交的。
可选的,在CSI报告或者PMI关联的至少2个基矢量的情况下,所述至少2个基矢量关联至少2个基矢量组,其中,每个基矢量组中的至少2个基矢量满足以下一种情况:
a)仅第四维度是正交的;
b)所有维度均是正交的;
c)至少一个维度是正交的。
其中,终端可以基于协议约定或者网络信令指示,确定所述至少2个基矢量关联至少2个基矢量组。
例如,PMI关联的至少2个基矢量可以分为至少2个基矢量组,则只需要保证每个基矢量组中的至少2个基矢量是正交的即可。或者只需要保证存在2个及2个以上基矢量的基矢量组中的基矢量是正交的即可。
下面通过具体示例,对本申请实施例提供的技术方案进行说明。
一个PMI关联N个正交的基矢量,所述N个正交的基矢量,终端从N1*N2*O1*O2个基矢量中选择得到。所述N1*N2*O1*O2个基矢量由O1*O2个正交的基矢量组构成,每个正交的基矢量组中包括N1*N2个相互正交的基矢量。
对于终端选择的N个正交的基矢量,其在N1*N2*O1*O2个基矢量中的全局索引ni,i=1,…N或者i=0,…N-1可以表示为:
ni=mi*O1*N1+li;或者,
ni=li*O2*N2+mi。
其中,mi∈{0,1,…,O2*N2-1},li∈{0,1,…,O1*N1-1}。
对于终端选择的N个正交的基矢量,每个基矢量来自一个包括N1*N2个相互正交的基矢量的基矢量组,即终端从O1*O2个正交的基矢量组中独立选择N个基矢量组(其中可能存在相同的基矢量组),每个基矢量组中,终端确定一个基矢量。或者,终端确定N个正交的基矢量,每个基矢量关联O1*O2个正交的基矢量组中的一个基矢量组,N个基矢量中可能存在部分基矢量关联相同的基矢量组。对于N个基矢量中的每个基矢量在其关联的基矢组中的局部索引或者i=0,…N-1可以表示为:
或者,
其中,
可选的,终端可以通过N个第一码本索引向网络侧设备指示N个选择的正交基矢量组的索引,每个第一码本索引关联2个值q1,q2,其中,q1∈{0,1,…,O1-1},q2∈{0,1,…,O2-1},或者每个第一码本索引关联1个值q=q1*O2+q2或者q=q2*O1+q1。不同第一码本索引可能关联相同的q1,q2或者q。
进一步,终端通过1个第二码本索引(如:i1,2)向网络指示一个组合数,所述组合数通过N个基矢量的局部索引确定。确定方式如下:
对N个基矢量的局部索引或者进行排序,从小到大,获取新的局部索引为或者对于排序的局部索引,通过以下方式映射为第二码本索引。
或者
可选的,终端向网络指示N个第一码本索引的顺序可以与局部索引排序后的基矢量的顺序对应。即,新的局部索引或者中第一个值对应第一个或者最后一个第一码本索引,第二个值对应第二个或者倒数第二个第一码本索引,第三个值对应第三个或者倒数第三个第一码本索引,以此类推。
网络侧设备接收终端反馈的N个第一码本索引后,确定每个基矢量关联的基矢量组索引为:q1,i∈{0,1,…,O1-1},q2,i∈{0,1,…,O2-1},i=1,…N或者i=0,…N-1。网络设备接收终端反馈的1个第二码本索引,基于组合数解映射的方法,确定N个第一码本索引关联的N个基矢量的局部索引为:和
进一步,网络侧设备确定N个基矢量的全局索引为:
或者,
可选的,网络侧设备可以基于基矢量的全局索引确定终端反馈的基矢量。
基于同一技术构思,本申请实施例还提供了另一种基矢量指示方法,该方法由网络侧设备执行。
需要说明的是,下面实施例只对网络侧设备的操作进行说明,其它未尽事宜,可以参考上述关于方法600的相关描述。
图9示出本申请实施例提供的基矢量指示方法的一种流程图,该方法900可以由终端执行。换言之,所述方法可以由安装在终端上的软件或硬件来执行。如图9所示,该方法主要包括以下步骤。
