具体实施方式
为了便于理解，首先介绍本公开涉及的术语。
1、预编码矩阵指示(precoding matrix indicator，PMI)
预编码矩阵指示，指示了采用的预编码矩阵，用于下行多输入多输出***(multiple input multiple output，MIMO)闭环空间复用的操作。根据天线和流的数目，预编码码本有不同的大小。例如4天线情况下，码本大小等于16，相应的PMI反馈使用4个比特；而2天线情况下，1/2流的码本大小分别为4和2，相应的PMI反馈使用2个或者1个比特。
2、智能超表面(reconfigurable intelligence surface，RIS)
智能超表面RIS，也被称为“可重构智能表面”或者“智能反射表面”。从外表上看，RIS是一张平平无奇的薄板。但是，它可以灵活部署在无线通信传播环境中，并实现对反射或者折射电磁波的频率、相位、极化等特征的操控，从而达到重塑无线信道的目的。具体地说，RIS可以通过预编码技术，将入射到其表面的信号反射到特定的方向，从而增强接收端信号强度，实现对信道的控制。
为了更好的理解本公开实施例公开的一种智能超表面的预编码方法，下面首先对本公开实施例适用的通信***进行描述。
请参见图1，图1为本公开实施例提供的一种通信***的架构示意图。该通信***可包括但不限于一个网络设备、一个智能超表面和一个终端设备，图1所示的设备数量和形态仅用于举例并不构成对本公开实施例的限定，实际应用中可以包括两个或两个以上的网络设备，两个或两个以上的智能中继，两个或两个以上的终端设备。图1所示的通信***以包括一个网络设备11、一个终端设备12和一个智能 超表面13为例。

本公开实施例中的终端设备12是用户侧的一种用于接收或发射信号的实体，如手机。终端设备也可以称为终端设备(terminal)、用户设备(user equipment，UE)、移动台(mobile station，MS)、移动终端设备(mobile terminal，MT)等。终端设备可以是具备通信功能的汽车、智能汽车、手机(mobile phone)、穿戴式设备、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality，VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality，AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端设备、无人驾驶(self-driving)中的无线终端设备、远程手术(remote medical surgery)中的无线终端设备、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端设备、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端设备、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端设备、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端设备等等。本公开的实施例对终端设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。
可以理解的是，本公开实施例描述的通信***是为了更加清楚的说明本公开实施例的技术方案，并不构成对于本公开实施例提供的技术方案的限定，本领域普通技术人员可知，随着***架构的演变和新业务场景的出现，本公开实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题，同样适用。
通常，可以通过交替优化技术对RIS和网络设备处的预编码进行联合设计。但是，该联合设计方法需要整个RIS的信道信息，复杂度较高。本公开中，通过基于RIS中部分阵元的信道信息进行RIS预编码，从而降低了预编码的复杂度。

步骤201，接收终端设备发送的预编码矩阵指示PMI，其中，PMI为终端设备根据智能超表面RIS发送的参考信号确定的。
本公开中，考虑到RIS中可以包含部分有源阵元，用于发送参考信号以进行信道估计等。由此，终端设备可以接收并测量RIS的有源阵元在某一指定时频域位置发送的参考信号，之后，即可根据该参考信号确定参考信号对应的预编码矩阵指示PMI，然后，终端设备可以将该PMI发送给网络设备，以便网络设备根据PMI实现对RIS信道的控制，即根据RIS的有源阵元信息，对RIS进行预编码。

其中，预编码指示信息可以包括以下任一项：PMI及入射角信息，第一预编码矩阵索引及入射角信息，相移矩阵索引。其中，第一预编码矩阵索引为根据PMI生成的预编码矩阵的索引，第一预编码矩阵可以反映整个RIS对应的反射角信息，相移矩阵索引为根据PMI与入射角信息生成的预编码相移矩阵的索引，该相移矩阵为整个RIS阵列对应的相移矩阵。
本公开中，网络设备可以直接将PMI及对应的入射角信息发送给RIS，从而RIS即可根据该PMI，确定整个阵列对应的第一预编码矩阵，进而再根据入射角信息及第一预编码矩阵，确定整个RIS对应的相移矩阵，进而基于相移矩阵进行信号的反射或透射。
或者，网络设备也可以根据PMI确定RIS的第一预编码矩阵，之后即可将第一预编码矩阵索引及入射角信息发送给RIS，之后RIS即可根据该第一预编码矩阵及入射角信息，确定整个RIS对应的相移矩阵，进而再基于相移矩阵进行信号的反射或透射。
或者，网络设备还可以在确定RIS对应的第一预编码矩阵后，根据该第一预编码矩阵及入射角信息确定RIS的相移矩阵，之后直接将相移矩阵索引发送给RIS，之后RIS即可基于相移矩阵进行信号的 反射或透射。

其中，第二阵元可以为RIS发送参考信号的第一阵元之外的其它阵元。可选的，第二阵元中，可能包含有源阵元，也可能未包含有源阵元。
本公开中，网络设备可以根据相邻的两个第一阵元之间间隔的第二阵元数量、及相邻的两个第一阵元分别使用的第一相移，确定相邻的两个第一阵元之间间隔的每个第二阵元使用的第二相移。
比如，假设相邻的两个第一阵元分别为阵元1和阵元2，阵元1的相移为0°，阵元2的相移为30°，且阵元1和阵元2之间存在2个第二阵元为阵元3和阵元4，则通过插值，可以确定阵元3的相移可以为10°，阵元4的相移可以为20°。
