- LTE Long term evolution
- MIMO multiple-input multiple-output
- the information of the precoding matrix is fed back by the terminal device.
- the terminal device obtains the downlink channel information by measuring the channel state information reference information (CSI-RS), and feeds the information of the precoding matrix to the network device in the form of a precoding matrix indicator (PMI).
- PMI precoding matrix indicator
- the network device selects a precoding matrix for precoding data by reading the PMI feedback from the terminal device. The higher the feedback accuracy of the precoding matrix, the more beneficial it is to improve the performance of downlink data transmission.
- the terminal device also feedbacks a rank indication (RI) and a channel quality indicator (CQI).

- CQI channel quality indicator
- CQI indicates the channel quality and is used by network equipment to provide a reference for determining the modulation and coding scheme; RI indicates the number of data layers that a network device can transmit to a terminal at the same time.

Description
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种信道状态信息传输方法、相关装置及通信***。
长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)和下一代无线***广泛采用了多输入多输出(multiple input and multiple output,MIMO)技术。如果网络设备可以获得全部或者部分下行信道信息的时候,可以采用预编码技术来提高信号传输质量或者速率。
在频分双工(frequency division duplexing,FDD)***中,预编码矩阵的信息靠终端设备进行反馈。终端设备通过测量信道状态信息参考信息(channel state information reference signal,CSI-RS)获得下行信道信息,并将预编码矩阵的信息以预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indicator,PMI)的形式反馈给网络设备。网络设备通过读取终端设备反馈的PMI选择用于对数据进行预编码的预编码矩阵。预编码矩阵的反馈精度越高,越有利于提高下行数据传输的性能。除了反馈PMI,终端设备还反馈秩指示(rank indication,RI)和信道质量指示(channel quality indicator,CQI)。CQI指示信道质量,用于网络设备对确定调制编码方案提供参考;RI指示网络设备可以同时对终端传输的数据层数,RI越大,表示同时传输的数据层数越多。RI、PMI和CQI可以构成信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI)。随着无线通信***对CSI反馈精度要求的提高,反馈下行CSI占用的上行时频资源越来越多,造成反馈开销增大,不利于***吞吐量的提升。
在时分复用(time division duplexing,TDD)***中,由于上行和下行信道之间具有互易性,因此网络设备可以通过测量终端设备的上行信道来获得下行的信道,从而可以进一步得到波束赋形权值(即预编码矩阵)。因此对于TDD***来说,波束赋形权值的获得依赖于终端设备向网络设备发送的探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)。网络设备根据接收信号和SRS获得上行信道矩阵,通过信道互易性,网络设备即可获得下行信道矩阵。此时,网络设备获取下行CSI无需终端设备进行反馈PMI,只需要终端设备反馈CQI和/或RI,大大降低了获取下行CSI需要的开销。
但是,在实际的实现中,终端设备的发射和接收天线个数并不相等。这是由于终端设备的每个发射天线需要链接有一个功率放大器,而功率放大器的造价比较高,因此往往终端设备只有配有少量的发射天线,却配有多个接收天线。在这种情况下,终端设备只能采用发射天线发送SRS。网络设备通过估计SRS的信道,只能获得发射天线对应的信道信息。在发射天线可以切换的情况下,由于SRS资源有限,终端设备不得不采用较长的周期来发送SRS,从而使得网络设备收集到所有天线的信道之后,有些天线端口的信道的信息已经过期,从而影响了TDD的性能。
为了解决上述问题,现有技术中可以将SRS和CSI(包括PMI、CQI、RI)相结合,使网络设备获得完整的天线端口的信道信息。但是由于网络设备可以根据SRS获得部分天线端口的信道的信息,若终端再将所有天线端口的信道的CSI上报至网络设备,会占用大 量的上行时频资源,CSI上报开销较大。

1)当SRS采用天线端口0、1发送时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是4、5;当SRS采用天线端口2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是6、7。此时第一天线端口集合是第三天线端口集合的子集。

若终端设备有4个天线端口(依次为天线端口0、1、2、3),该终端设备具有两个功率放大器,终端设备可以分别在天线端口0、1和天线端口2、3之间做天线发送切换。
如果网络设备向终端设备配置了天线切换的使能,此时第二天线端口集合包括天线端口0、1、2、3,第三天线集合是空集。当SRS采用天线0、1发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是2、3;当SRS采用天线2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是0、1。此时,第一天线端口集合是第二天线端口集合的子集。

例如,若终端设备有8个天线端口(依次为天线端口0、1、2、3、4、5、6、7),该终端设备具有两个功率放大器,其中,天线端口0、1、2、3可以做天线端口切换,即终端设备可以采用天线0、1发送SRS,也可以采用天线2、3发送SRS。若网络设备向终端设备配置了天线切换的使能,那么第二天线端口集合包括天线端口0、1、2、3,第三天线端口集合包括天线端口4、5、6、7。若网络设备没有向终端设备配置天线端口切换的使能,那么第二天线端口集合是天线端口0、1、2、3中的两个天线端口,第三天线端口集合包括剩余的6个天线端口。
在网络设备向终端设备配置了天线切换的使能的情况下,存在以下几个使用场景:
1)当SRS采用天线端口0、1发送时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是4、5;当SRS采用天线端口2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是6、7。此时第一天线端口集合是第三天线端口集合的子集。
2)当SRS采用天线0、1发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是4、5、 6、7;当SRS采用天线2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是4、5、6、7。此第一天线端口集合就是第三天线端口集合,也可以说第一天线端口集合是第三天线端口集合的子集。
3)当SRS采用天线0、1发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是2、3、4、5、6、7;当SRS采用天线2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是0、1、4、5、6、7。此时第三天线端口集合是第一天线端口集合的子集。
若终端设备有4个天线端口(依次为天线端口0、1、2、3),该终端设备具有两个功率放大器,终端设备可以分别在天线端口0、1和天线端口2、3之间做天线发送切换。
如果网络设备向终端设备配置了天线切换的使能,此时第二天线端口集合包括天线端口0、1、2、3,第三天线集合是空集。当SRS采用天线0、1发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是2、3;当SRS采用天线2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是0、1。此时,第一天线端口集合是第二天线端口集合的子集。
在一种可能的实现方式中,上述指示位为CSI请求域或SRS请求域。

为了更清楚地说明本申请实施例或现有技术中的技术方案,下面将对实施例或现有技术描述中所需要使用的附图作简单地介绍。

图7为本申请实施例提供的另一种网络设备结构示意图;
图8为本申请实施例提供的另一种终端设备结构示意图。
下面将结合附图对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、详尽地描述。
本申请实施例可应用于各种通信***,因此,下面的描述不限制于特定通信***。例 如,本申请实施例可以应用于全球移动通讯(global system of mobile communication,GSM)***、码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)***、宽带码分多址(wideband code division multiple access,WCDMA)***、通用分组无线业务(general packet radio service,GPRS)、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)***、LTE频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)***、LTE时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)、通用移动通信***(universal mobile telecommunication system,UMTS)等。
本申请实施例中,终端设备也可以称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端、用户单元、用户站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、用户终端、终端、无线通信设备、用户代理或用户装置。接入终端可以是蜂窝电话、无绳电话、会话启动协议(session initiation protocol,SIP)电话、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、具有无线通信功能的手持设备、计算设备或连接到无线调制解调器的其它处理设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备以及5G网络中的终端设备。
本申请实施例中,网络设备可以是用于与移动设备通信的设备,网络设备可以是GSM或CDMA中的基站(base transceiver station,BTS),也可以是WCDMA中的基站,还可以是LTE中的演进型基站(evolutional Node B,eNodeB),或者中继站或接入点,或者车载设备、可穿戴设备以及5G网络中的网络侧设备。
图1是使用本申请的信道状态信息传输方法的通信***的示意图。该通信***可以上述任意一种通信***。如图1所示,该通信***100包括网络设备101、多个终端设备(如图中的终端设备102及终端设备103)。网络设备101可以与终端设备102及终端设备103通信。然而,可以理解,网络设备101可以与类似于终端设备102或103的任意数目的终端设备通信。
如图1所示,终端设备102与网络设备101通信,其中网络设备101通过前向链路104向终端设备102发送信息,并通过反向链路105从终端设备102接收信息。此外,终端设备103与网络设备101通信,其中网络设备101通过前向链路107向终端设备103发送信息,并通过反向链路106从终端设备103接收信息。
例如,在FDD***中,前向链路104可利用与反向链路105所使用的不同频带,前向链路107可利用与反向链路106所使用的不同频带。再例如,TDD***和全双工***中,前向链路104和反向链路105可使用共同频带,前向链路107和反向链路106可使用共同频带。
在给定时间,网络设备101、终端设备102或终端设备103可以是无线通信发送装置和/或无线通信接收装置。当发送数据时,无线通信发送装置可对数据进行编码以用于传输。具体地,无线通信发送装置可获取(例如生成、从其它通信装置接收、或在存储器中保存等)要通过信道发送至无线通信接收装置的一定数目的数据比特。这种数据比特可包含在数据的传输块(或多个传输块)中,传输块可被分段以产生多个码块。
为了使得本申请实施例更容易理解,下面首先对本申请实施例中涉及的一些描述加以说明,这些说明不应视为对本申请所需要保护的范围的限定。
信号的发送端(例如,网络设备)获得发送端到接收端(例如,终端设备)之间的信 道信息,则可以根据获得的信道信息对发送信号进行预编码处理,这样可以使得网络设备发送信号的能量集中在所述终端设备所在的方向,从而使得终端设备可以获得较高的信号接收信噪比,另一方面,如果网络设备同时向终端设备发送多层的数据流,通过这种方式可以在发送端预先消除数据流之间的部分或全部干扰,从而提高***性能。
本申请实施例中主要涉及终端设备如何向网络设备发送信道状态信息,以使得网络设备根据该信道信息确定该预编码矩阵的方案,发送端进行预编码处理时使用的矩阵即为预编码矩阵。
以下,为了便于理解和说明,作为示例而非限定,以将本申请的信道状态信息传输方法在通信***中的执行过程和动作进行说明。
图2是本申请一个实施例提供的信道状态信息传输方法流程示意图。如图2所示的方法可以应用于上述TDD***或者其他***场景中,本申请实施例并不对此做限定。
下文以TDD***为例介绍本申请实施例的信道状态信息传输方法,但本申请实施例并不限于此,也可以应用于FDD***。
具体地,上述TDD***包括终端设备和网络设备,上述终端设备包括N个天线端口,如图3所示,上述N个天线端口都配置了收通道,可以用于接收下行数据和下行参考信号,可以称为接收天线端口集合;其中m个天线端口可以连接功率放大器,用于发送上行数据和/或上行参考信息,称为发送天线端口集合,上述m个天线端口包含于上述N个天线端口中,上述N个天线端口中除了上述m个天线端口外,还包括n个非发送天线端口,构成第三天线端口集合,其中m、n、N均为正整数,且m+n=N。
可选的,若终端设备具有天线切换能力,每次可以同时通过m0个天线端口发送上行数据或上行参考信号(即有m个功率放大器),并且可以支持x次天线切换。若网络设备的配置信息使能了上述天线切换能力,并允许y<=x次天线切换,则共m=m0*y个天线端口可以连接功率放大器,则第二天线端口集合包括上述共m=m0*y个天线端口。若网络设备的配置信息未使能上述天线切换能力,则只有m=m0个天线端口可以连接功率放大器,则第二天线端口集合包括上述共m=m0个天线端口。
可选的,若终端设备不具有天线切换能力,则第二天线端口集合包括m=m0个天线端口。
可选的,上述第二天线端口集合包括的天线端口个数m可以小于N,也可以等于N。
具体而言,如图2所示的信道状态信息传输方法至少可以包括以下几个步骤:
S201:网络设备向终端设备发送CSI的配置信息。
具体地,上述CSI的配置信息中关联有第一信息,第一信息用于指示终端设备的第一天线端口集合,上述CSI的配置信息用于指示上述第一天线端口集合对应的CSI的上报参数。
具体地,CSI配置信息用于指示终端设备发送CSI的上报参数,CSI的上报参数具体可以包括CSI上报的内容,例如是否包括RI、PMI、CQI等;CSI的上报参数还可以包括CSI的上报方式,例如上报方式是周期上报、半周期上报还是非周期上报;若其上报方式是周期上报,CSI的上报参数还可以包括CSI上报的周期具体是多少,上报的时间偏移位置(即上报的时间点具***于时域上的第几个子帧或者时隙),若其上报方式的非周期上报,CSI 的上报参数还可以包括CSI上报的时间位置;CSI的上报参数还可以包括是针对整个***的宽带还是子带上报的;若CSI的上报参数是针对子带上报的,CSI的上报参数还可以包括具体是针对哪个子带上报的,等等。CSI的上报参数不限于此,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
S202:终端设备根据上述CSI的配置信息确定第一天线端口集合的CSI的上报参数。
具体地,终端设备根据接收到的CSI配置信息,确定需要上报的CSI的各种上报参数,如上所述。终端设备还需根据CSI配置信息关联的第一信息确定上报的CSI所对应的第一天线端口集合。
S203:终端设备向网络设备发送第一天线端口集合对应的CSI。
具体地,终端设备确定第一天线端口集合的CSI后,将其发送至网络设备,以使网络设备根据该CSI确定第一天线端口集合中包含的天线端口对应的信道状态信息,进而根据信道状态信息确定预编码矩阵,提高信号传输质量或者速率。
具体地,终端设备可以通过第二天线端口集合中的全部或者部分天线端口向上述网络设备发送第一天线端口集合对应的CSI。当终端设备的接收天线数大于具有的功率放大器数时,若该终端设备不支持天线切换,则上述第一天线端口集合的CSI由终端设备通过上述第二天线端口集合中的全部天线端口发送;若该终端设备支持天线切换,由于能够同时发送上行数据或参考信号的天线端口是上述第二天线端口集合中的部分天线端口,则上述第一天线端口集合的CSI由终端设备通过上述第二天线端口集合中的部分天线端口发送。
第一天线端口集合可以仅包括终端设备的N个天线端口中的部分端口,则实施本申请实施例可以通过在CSI的配置信息中关联第一信息,使终端设备根据第一信息确定其需要上传的CSI对应的天线端口,无需盲目地上报所有信道的CSI至网络设备,节约了上行时频资源,减小CSI上报开销。
请参阅图4。图4为本申请实施例提供的另外一种信道状态信息传输方法,如图4所示,信道状态信息传输方法至少可以包括以下几个步骤:
S401:网络设备向终端设备发送CSI的配置信息。
具体地,上述CSI的配置信息中关联有第一信息,第一信息用于确定终端设备发送CSI对应的第一天线端口集合。上述CSI的配置信息用于使终端设备确定第一天线端口集合的CSI的上报参数,CSI的上报参数具体可参照S201中的描述,在此不再赘述。
在一种可能的实施例中,网络设备可以知道终端设备具备的发射天线端口的数量,以及终端设备具备的接收天线端口的数量。与CSI的配置信息关联的第一信息可以用于确定第一天线端口集合中天线端口的个数。具体的,第一信息可以指示第一天线端口集合中天线端口的个数;或者,第一信息还可以指示第一天线端口集合的补集包括的天线端口个数,从而使终端设备确定第一天线端口集合中天线端口的个数。可选的,第一天线端口集合的补集和第一天线端口集合两者的并集是终端设备包括的N个天线端口组成的集合。可选的,第一天线端口集合的补集和第一天线端口集合两者的并集是终端设备包括的N个天线端口组成的集合的真子集,该真子集可以通过预定义的方式或者基站配置的方式或者终端设备上报的方式确定。
在一种可能的实施例中,第一信息还与SRS的配置信息关联,终端设备可以通过SRS 的配置信息,并结合第一天线端口集合中天线端口的个数,确定最终需要上报的CSI对应的第一天线端口集合中的天线端口。
可选地,第一信息还用于指示SRS的配置信息,即CSI的配置信息与SRS的配置信息相对独立,是两个单独的资源,且两者之间通过第一信息关联起来。第一信息例如可以是SRS的配置信息的索引号,并且是CSI的配置信息中的一部分。终端设备在读取CSI的配置信息时,可以根据CSI的配置信息中的第一信息获取SRS的配置信息的索引号,进而使终端设备读取到SRS的配置信息。或者,第一信息例如可以是CSI的配置信息的索引号,并且是上述SRS的配置信息中的一部分。终端设备在读取SRS的配置信息时,可以根据SRS的配置信息中的第一信息获取上述CSI配置信息的索引号,进而使终端设备读取到CSI配置信息。可选地,第一信息为SRS的配置信息,上述CSI的配置信息中包含SRS的配置信息。即SRS的配置信息是CSI的配置信息中的一部分,终端设备在读取CSI的配置信息时,可直接获取SRS的配置信息。
可选地,第一信息为SRS的配置信息,上述CSI的配置信息包含于SRS的配置信息中,上述CSI的配置信息是SRS的配置信息中的一部分。即上述SRS的配置信息中包含有CSI的配置信息,终端设备在读取SRS的配置信息时,可直接获取CSI的配置信息。
具体地,SRS的配置信息用于使终端设备获得发送SRS的第四天线端口集合。第四天线端口集合为上述第二天线端口集合的子集,即第四天线端口集合中的天线端口为部分或者全部的发射天线端口,第四天线端口集合中的天线端口与第一天线端口集合中的天线端口至少有一个不同。第四天线端口集合中的天线端口为部分或者全部的发射天线端口,第四天线端口集合中的天线端口对应的信道状态信息可以通过对SRS的估计获得。第一天线端口集合中的天线端口对应的信道状态信息由终端设备向网络设备发送CSI反馈。
具体地,若网络设备只知道终端设备具备的发射天线端口的数量,那么SRS的配置信息可以用于指示终端设备发送SRS对应的第四天线端口集合中天线端口的个数。具体的,若终端设备具有m个可以连接功率放大器的发射天线端口,SRS的配置信息指示第四天线端口集合包括n0个天线端口,则终端设备可以根据实现行为或根据预定义的规则或结合其他配置信息(如后续通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC),媒体访问控制层控制元素(media access control control element,MAC CE)或下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)信令指示的信息)确定第四天线端口集合包括的是上述m个发射天线端口中的哪n0个天线端口。
在本申请实施例中,第一天线端口集合可以包括上述非发射天线端口的部分或者全部,还可以包括发射天线端口,第一天线端口集合可以与第四天线端口集合有交集,只需第四天线端口集合中包括的发射天线端口与第一天线端口集合中包括的天线端口至少有一个不同,即可在一定程度上节约上行时频资源,减小CSI上报开销。
在一种较优的实现方式中,第四天线端口集合为前述第二天线端口集合,第一天线端口集合为前述第三天线端口集合。即第四天线端口集合为该终端设备所有的发射天线端口,第一天线端口集合为该终端设备所有的非发射天线端口。所有的发射天线端口对应的信道状态信息由终端设备通过SRS向网络设备反馈,所有的非发射天线端口对应的信道状态信息由终端设备通过CSI向网络设备反馈。网络设备可以通过两种方式的结合获取完整的信 道状态信息,最大程度上节约了上行时频资源,并在最大程度上节约CSI上报开销。
具体地,SRS的配置信息用于指示终端设备发送SRS的参数信息,SRS的参数信息具体可以包括SRS上报方式,例如是周期上报、半周期上报或者是非周期上报;若上报方式是周期上报,SRS的参数信息还可以包括上报的周期具体是多少,上报的时间点具***于时域上的第几个子帧或者时隙;SRS的参数信息还可以包括具体是针对整个带宽的还是针对部分带宽的,等等。SRS的参数信息不限于此,本申请实施例对比不做限定。
在另外一种可能的实施例中,网络设备不仅可以知道终端设备具备的发射天线端口以及接收天线端口的数量,还可以知道终端设备的发射天线端口的端口号信息。与CSI的配置信息关联的第一信息可以直接用于指示第一天线端口集合中的具体天线端口,即指示第一天线端口集合中天线的端口号。终端设备在接收到CSI的配置信息之后,可以明确知道其需要上报的CSI对应的天线端口。第一天线端口集合为第三天线端口集合的子集。或者,与CSI的配置信息关联的第一信息可以直接用于指示第一天线端口集合的补集包括的具体天线端口,即指示第一天线端口集合的补集包括的天线端口号。终端设备在接收到CSI的配置信息之后,可以通过确定不需要上报哪些端口(即第一天线端口集合的补集包括的天线端口)来确定需要上报哪些天线端端口对应的CSI。同样地,SRS的配置信息可以用于指示终端设备发送SRS对应的第四天线端口集合中包含的天线端口的端口号信息。终端设备在接收到SRS的配置信息之后,可以明确知道其需要上报的SRS对应的天线端口。
具体地,第一天线端口集合可以是上述第三天线端口集合的子集,即第一天线端口集合中的天线端口可以是部分或者全部非发送天线端口。由于终端设备可以通过向网络设备发送SRS使网络设备获知发射天线端口对应的信道状态信息,而网络设备无法获知非发送天线端口对应的信道状态信息,因此通过结合SRS发送发射天线端口对应的信道状态信息以及CSI获得部分或者全部非发射天线端口对应的信道状态信息,来获得下行信道的状态信息。
若通过CSI可获得部分非发射天线端口对应的信道状态信息,而非全部非发射天线端口对应的信道状态信息,为了使网络设备可获得完整的下行信道的状态信息,终端设备还可以切换发射天线至剩余的非发射天线端口,通过该剩余的非发射天线端口向网络设备发送SRS,从而使网络设备获得剩余的非发射天线端口对应的信道状态信息。
例如,若终端设备具备4个天线,天线0、天线1、天线2及天线3,其中,有一个天线为发射天线,假设初始状态下天线0为发射天线,天线0、天线1、天线2及天线3为接收天线,故天线1、天线2及天线3为非发射天线。若与CSI的配置信息关联的第一信息指示的第一天线端口集合包括的天线端口为天线2及天线3。那么终端设备可以通过天线0向网络设备发送SRS,以使网络设备获得天线0对应的信道状态信息。此外,终端设备还可以通过天线0向网络设备发送CSI获得天线2和天线3对应的信道状态信息。此后,终端设备可以将发射天线从天线0切换至剩余的非发射天下端口天线1,再通过天线1向网络设备发送SRS,以使网络设备获取天线1对应的信道状态信息。自此,网络设备即可获得完整的下行信道的状态信息。
终端设备将发射天线切换至剩余的非发射天线端口,获得剩余的非发射天线端口对应的信道状态信息,与切换之前获得的信道状态信息之间的时间间隔不宜太久,以免在获得 剩余的非发射天线端口对应的信道状态信息时,之前获得的信道状态信息已失效。
此外,在DCI及SRS的上报方式为非周期上报时,该信道状态信息传输方法还可以包括:网络设备向终端设备发送下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI),DCI中包含有指示位,用于指示终端设备向网络设备发送上述第一天线端口集合对应的CSI及通过上述第四天线端口集合发送SRS。具体地,该指示位可以是CSI请求域,或者是SRS请求域,或者是其他的比特位,本申请实施例对此不做限制。例如当该比特位的值为1时,可以指示终端设备向网络设备发送第一天线端口集合的CSI及第四天线端口集合的SRS。当该指示位的值为0时,可以指示终端设备无需向网络设备发送第一天线端口集合的CSI及第四天线端口集合的SRS。当然,该比特位不限于是1个比特,比特位的值与终端设备的执行动作也不限于是上述对应关系,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
实施本申请实施例可以在CSI和SRS的非周期上报的场景中,采用同一个指示位同时触发终端设备发送第一天线端口集合的CSI及所述第四天线端口集合的SRS,节省DCI中的比特位开销。
在终端设备可切换发射天线端口的场景中,终端设备切换发射天线端口取决于:1)终端设备是否具有切换发射天线端口的能力;2)网络设备是否使能终端设备的发射天线端口的切换。当满足以上两个条件时,可以实现终端设备发射天线端口的切换。而网络设备是否使能终端设备的发射天线端口的切换可由SRS的配置信息决定。网络设备向终端设备发送的SRS的配置信息中可以包含至少一个SRS资源配置信息,每个SRS资源配置信息中包含发送SRS的天线端口的个数。终端设备在接收到该SRS的配置信息后,可根据该配置信息确定其需要切换的发射天线端口的数量,进而自行确定具体的SRS发射天线端口(即确定第四天线端口集合),在切换后的发射天线端口上向网络设备发送SRS。其中,SRS资源配置信息的个数与发送SRS的天线端口的端口组数一致,每组端口包括至少一个天线端口,一组端口内的天线端口可以同时发送SRS。每个SRS资源配置信息用于指示终端设备发送SRS的参数信息。SRS的参数信息具体包括的内容可参见前述实施例中的相关描述,在此不再赘述。此外,该SRS的配置信息中可以包含一个域,该域可以用来指示终端设备是否进行发射天线端口切换,还可以用来指示具体切换至哪一组天线端口。
具体地,终端设备在切换后的发射天线端口上向网络设备发送的SRS具体的内容由上述SRS资源配置信息决定。一个SRS资源配置信息对应一组发射天线端口,即终端设备在该组发射天线端口上向网络设备发送的SRS的内容由该组发射天线端口对应的SRS资源配置信息决定。
可选地,上述第一信息还用于指示SRS的配置信息,即CSI的配置信息与SRS的配置信息相对独立,是两个单独的资源,且两者之间通过第一信息关联起来。第一信息例如可以是SRS的配置信息的索引号,并且是CSI的配置信息中的一部分。终端设备在读取CSI的配置信息时,可以根据CSI的配置信息中的第一信息获取SRS的配置信息的索引号,进而使终端设备读取到SRS的配置信息。或者,第一信息例如可以是CSI的配置信息的索引号,并且是上述SRS的配置信息中的一部分。终端设备在读取SRS的配置信息时,可以根据SRS的配置信息中的第一信息获取上述CSI配置信息的索引号,进而使终端设备读取到 CSI配置信息。
可选地,上述第一信息为SRS的配置信息,CSI的配置信息包含该SRS的配置信息。即SRS的配置信息是CSI的配置信息中的一部分,终端设备在读取CSI的配置信息时,可直接获取SRS的配置信息。
可选地,上述第一信息为SRS的配置信息,CSI的配置信息包含于该SRS的配置信息中,上述CSI的配置信息是SRS的配置信息中的一部分。即上述SRS的配置信息中包含有CSI的配置信息,终端设备在读取SRS的配置信息时,可直接获取CSI的配置信息。SRS的配置信息由网络设备向终端设备发送。
具体地,SRS的配置信息用于使终端设备获得第二天线端口集合。例如,若终端设备有4个天线端口(依次为天线端口0、1、2、3),该终端设备具有两个功率放大器,终端设备可以分别在天线端口0、1和天线端口2、3之间做天线发送切换。如果网络设备向终端设备配置了天线切换的使能,此时终端设备可以通过SRS的配置信息获知第二天线端口集合包括天线端口0、1、2、3。在一种可能的情况下,终端设备确定通过天线切换使用天线端口0、1、2、3发送SRS,即第四天线端口集合就是第二天线端口集合。在另外一种可能的情况下,终端设备确定通过天线切换使用天线端口0、1、2、3发送SRS,但是端口0、1和端口2、3发送的SRS位于不用的时间单元(例如子帧),则终端设备可以自行确定或者根据预定义的规则确定哪两个端口为第四天线端口集合。例如,终端设备确定离上报CSI时刻非最近的一次SRS发送对应的两个端口为第四天线端口集合(例如,端口0、1在子帧n1时刻发送SRS,端口2、3在子帧n2发送SRS,子帧n2的时刻晚于子帧n1的时刻,终端设备在后续的n3子帧发送CSI,则第四天线端口集合为端口0、1),此时第四天线端口集合是是第二天线端口集合的子集。
在另外一种可能的情况下,终端设备通过网络设备的进一步信息指示来确定第四天线端口集合,第四天线端口集合是是第二天线端口集合的子集。例如,在SRS的发送方式为非周期发送时,该信道状态信息传输方法还可以包括:网络设备向终端设备发送DCI,DCI中包含有指示位,用于指示终端设备向网络设备发送上述第一天线端口集合对应的CSI及通过第四天线端口集合发送SRS。其中,第四天线端口集合为第二天线端口集合的子集,且第四天下端口集合中的天线端口与第一天线端口集合中的天线端口至少有一个不同。
具体地,该指示位可以是CSI请求域,或者是SRS请求域,或者是其他的比特位,本申请实施例对此不做限制。例如当该比特位的值为1时,可以指示终端设备向网络设备发送第一天线端口集合的CSI及第四天线端口集合的SRS。当该指示位的值为0时,可以指示终端设备无需向网络设备发送第一天线端口集合的CSI及第四天线端口集合的SRS。当然,该比特位不限于是1个比特,比特位的值与终端设备的执行动作也不限于是上述对应关系,本申请实施例对此不做限定。
具体地,上述第一天线端口集合可以是第三天线端口集合的子集;或者上述第三天线端口集合可以是第一天线端口集合的子集;或者上述第一天线端口集合可以是第二天线端口集合的子集。
例如,若终端设备有8个天线端口(依次为天线端口0、1、2、3、4、5、6、7),该终端设备具有两个功率放大器,其中,天线端口0、1、2、3可以做天线端口切换,即终端 设备可以采用天线0、1发送SRS,也可以采用天线2、3发送SRS。若网络设备向终端设备配置了天线切换的使能,那么第二天线端口集合包括天线端口0、1、2、3,第三天线端口集合包括天线端口4、5、6、7。若网络设备没有向终端设备配置天线端口切换的使能,那么第二天线端口集合是天线端口0、1、2、3中的两个天线端口,第三天线端口集合包括剩余的6个天线端口。
在网络设备向终端设备配置了天线切换的使能的情况下,存在以下几种使用场景:
1)当SRS采用天线端口0、1发送时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是4、5;当SRS采用天线端口2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是6、7。此时第一天线端口集合是第三天线端口集合的子集。
2)当SRS采用天线0、1发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是4、5、6、7;当SRS采用天线2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是4、5、6、7。此第一天线端口集合就是第三天线端口集合,也可以说第一天线端口集合是第三天线端口集合的子集。
3)当SRS采用天线0、1发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是2、3、4、5、6、7;当SRS采用天线2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是0、1、4、5、6、7。此时第三天线端口集合是第一天线端口集合的子集。
若终端设备有4个天线端口(依次为天线端口0、1、2、3),该终端设备具有两个功率放大器,终端设备可以分别在天线端口0、1和天线端口2、3之间做天线发送切换。
如果网络设备向终端设备配置了天线切换的使能,此时第二天线端口集合包括天线端口0、1、2、3,第三天线集合是空集。当SRS采用天线0、1发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是2、3;当SRS采用天线2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是0、1。此时,第一天线端口集合是第二天线端口集合的子集。
S402:网络设备向终端设备发送CSI-RS。
具体地,下行传输中,网络设备可以发送CSI-RS,用于终端测量下行CSI,并将预编码矩阵的信息以PMI的形式反馈给网络设备。网络设备通过读取终端设备反馈的PMI选择用于对数据进行预编码的预编码矩阵。
S403:网络设备向终端设备发送SRS的配置信息。
具体地,网络设备向终端设备发送的SRS的配置信息可以是通过CSI的配置信息发送的。如S401中的描述,SRS的配置信息可以是通过与CSI的配置信息关联的第一信息发送的;或者,SRS的配置信息可以是包含于CSI的配置信息中的;或者,SRS的配置信息可以包含CSI的配置信息。可以看出,S401与S403的发生时间一致,不分先后。
S404:终端设备根据CSI的配置信息及CSI-RS确定第一天线端口集合的CSI。
具体地,终端设备根据接收到的CSI配置信息,确定需要上报的CSI的上报参数,如上所述。终端设备还需根据CSI配置信息关联的第一信息确定上报CSI对应的第一天线端口集合。终端设备还需要根据CSI-RS测量下行CSI,并将预编码矩阵的信息以PMI的形式反馈给网络设备。网络设备通过读取终端设备反馈的PMI选择用于对数据进行预编码的预编码矩阵。
具体地,上述CSI可以用来指示上述第一天线端口集合对应的信道,或者用于指示上 述第一天线端口集合对应的信道的相关矩阵,或者用于指示上述第一天线端口集合对应的预编码矩阵。
S405:终端设备根据SRS的配置信息确定第四天线端口集合的SRS。
具体地,终端设备根据接收到的SRS的配置信息,确定需要上报的SRS的各种参数信息,如上所述。终端设备还需根据SRS的配置信息确定发送SRS的第四端口集合。
具体地,S404与S405的实现不分先后,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
S406:终端设备向网络设备发送第一天线端口集合对应的CSI。
具体地,终端设备确定第一天线端口集合对应的CSI后,将其发送至网络设备,以使网络设备根据该CSI确定第一天线端口集合中包含的天线端口对应的信道状态信息。
具体地,终端设备可以通过第二天线端口集合中的全部或者部分天线端口向上述网络设备发送第一天线端口集合对应的CSI。当终端设备的接收天线数大于具有的功率放大器数时,若该终端设备不支持天线切换,则上述第一天线端口集合的CSI由终端设备通过上述第二天线端口集合中的全部天线端口发送;若该终端设备支持天线切换,由于能够同时发送上行数据或参考信号的天线端口是上述第二天线端口集合中的部分天线端口,则上述第一天线端口集合的CSI由终端设备通过上述第二天线端口集合中的部分天线端口发送。
S407:终端设备通过第四天线端口集合包括的天线端口向网络设备发送SRS。
具体地,终端设备确定第四天线端口集合以及需要发送的SRS配置后,通过第四天线端口集合包括的端口发送SRS给网络设备,以使网络设备通过测量该SRS确定第四天线端口集合中包含的天线端口对应的信道状态信息。
具体地,S406与S407的实现不分先后,本申请实施例对此不做限制。
S408:网络设备根据第一天线端口集合的CSI及第四天线端口集合的SRS确定下行信道状态信息。
具体地,网络设备可以结合第一天线端口集合的CSI以及第四天线端口集合的SRS确定整个下行信道的状态信息,从而获得用于对数据进行预编码的预编码矩阵,提高信号的传输质量或者效率。
实施本申请实施例可以通过在CSI配置信息中关联第一信息,使终端设备可以根据第一信息确定其需要上报的CSI对应的第一天线端口集合,网络设备在根据SRS获得部分天线端口对应信道信息后,终端设备不需要再将所有天线端口的信道信息上报至网络设备,节约上行时频资源,减小CSI上报开销。进一步地,采用同一个比特位同时触发终端设备发送第一天线端口集合对应的CSI及通过所述第四天线端口集合的天线端口发送SRS,可以节省DCI中的比特位开销。
在一个具体的实施例中,若第四天线端口集合为前述第二天线端口集合,第一天线端口集合为前述第三天线端口集合,且上述PMI用于指示网络设备的天线端口和终端设备的第一天线端口集合中的天线端口之间的信道,那么在TDD***中网络设备根据第一天线端口集合的CSI以及第四天线端口集合的SRS获取预编码矩阵的具体流程可以包括以下几个步骤:
a)终端设备在第四天线端口集合的天线端口上发送SRS,使网络设备获得m个发射天线端口对应的信道矩阵H
u。
b)终端设备测量网络设备发送的CSI-RS,获得并反馈PMI信息,该PMI指示终端设备的第一天线端口集合的n个非发射天线端口对应的信道矩阵H
d。
c)网络设备通过PMI指示的第一天线端口集合的n个非发射天线端口对应的信道矩阵H
d,以及通过SRS测量的第四天线端口集合的m个发射天线端口对应的信道矩阵H
u,重构整个下行信道矩阵:
可以看出,通过结合m个发射天线端口对应的SRS与n个非发射天线端口对应的CSI,网络设备可以获得完整的下行信道状态信息,从而获得用于对数据进行预编码的预编码矩阵,提高下行数据传输的性能。

例如,若终端设备有8个天线端口(依次为天线端口0、1、2、3、4、5、6、7),该终端设备具有两个功率放大器,其中,天线端口0、1、2、3可以做天线端口切换,即终端设备可以采用天线0、1发送SRS,也可以采用天线2、3发送SRS。若网络设备向终端设备配置了天线切换的使能,那么第二天线端口集合包括天线端口0、1、2、3,第三天线端口集合包括天线端口4、5、6、7。若网络设备没有向终端设备配置天线端口切换的使能,那么第二天线端口集合是天线端口0、1、2、3中的两个天线端口,第三天线端口集合包括剩余的6个天线端口。
在网络设备向终端设备配置了天线切换的使能的情况下,存在以下几个使用场景:
1)当SRS采用天线端口0、1发送时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是4、5;当SRS采用天线端口2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是6、7。此时第一天线端口集合是第三天线端口集合的子集。
2)当SRS采用天线0、1发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是4、5、6、7;当SRS采用天线2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是4、5、6、7。此第一天线端口集合就是第三天线端口集合,也可以说第一天线端口集合是第三天线端口集合的子集。
3)当SRS采用天线0、1发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是2、3、4、5、6、7;当SRS采用天线2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是0、1、4、5、6、7。此时第三天线端口集合是第一天线端口集合的子集。
若终端设备有4个天线端口,该终端设备具有两个功率放大器,终端设备可以分别在天线端口0、1和天线端口2、3之间做天线发送切换。
如果网络设备向终端设备配置了天线切换的使能,此时第二天线端口集合包括天线端口0、1、2、3,第三天线集合是空集。当SRS采用天线0、1发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是2、3;当SRS采用天线2、3发送的时候,终端设备上报的CSI对应的天线端口是0、1。此时,第一天线端口集合是第二天线端口集合的子集。
在一种可能的实施例中,上述指示位为CSI请求域或SRS请求域。
在一种可能的实施例中,所述CSI的全部或部分上报参数用于指示所述第一天线集合对应的信道,或者指示所示第一天线集合对应的信道的相关矩阵,或者指示所述第一天线集合对应的预编码矩阵。
