Description
FIELD

The present application relates to the field of communication, and in particular, to an antenna port indication method, a terminal, and a network-side device.


BACKGROUND

In the New Radio (New Radio, NR) version-16 (Rel-16), an enhanced Type II port selection codebook is defined, which can support Ranks=1˜4, and a port selection can be implemented by a codebook W1, and a linear merging between ports can be implemented in the same manner as the Rel-16 Type II codebook. In addition, each channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) port is beamformed, and a formed beam can be determined through reciprocity of uplink channel angle information and downlink channel angle information. Here, the port selection codebook W1 is expressed as follows:

Where, X represents the number of CSI-RS ports, and the value of X is the same as the antenna configuration supported by the Rel-16 enhanced Type II codebook; the parameter L represents the number of selected consecutive ports, and L is configurable among {2, 4} (i.e., L∈{2, 4}). Further, each port selection block can be expressed as:

adopting broadband feedback; the parameter d is configurable among {1, 2, 3, 4} (i.e., d∈{1, 2, 3, 4}) and required to satisfy a condition of d≤L, which is configured to adjust an interval for sampling per L beams and affects the feedback overhead. That is, X/2 ports are divided into X/(2d) groups, which can reduce the feedback overhead for indicating m. At the same time, when selecting d, it is needed to avoid selecting beams having similar direction for linear combining. For the selected L ports, it may calculate a port selection codebook by adopting a Type II codebook structure of Rel-16.


From the above, the port selection indication in the NR Rel-15/16 port selection codebook is used to select L consecutive ports in one polarization direction within X/2 ports by introducing a parameter m, and the same ports in two polarization directions indicate the ports with a same number selected by a terminal, and further, a network configurable parameter d is introduced to further reduce the terminal feedback overhead. However, the port selection indication method which directly adopting NR Rel-15/16 cannot be used for port indication of an NR Rel-17 port selection codebook, that is, for a Rel-17 enhanced port selection codebook, there is not a specific scheme to indicate the ports selected by the terminal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The embodiments of the present application clearer, embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings. It should be noted that, the described embodiments are some, but not all embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained are within the scope of protection of the present application.


In one embodiment, based on a reciprocity of time delay information and angle information of uplink and downlink, NR Rel-17 further enhances Rel-15/16 Type II port selection codebook, and the related precoding method for calculating downlink data transmission includes the following steps: step one, a terminal transmits a channel Sounding Reference Signal (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS) to a network-side device; step two, the network-side device estimates an uplink channel ĤUL based on the received SRS transmitted by the terminal, and calculating the angle information and the time delay information used by each uplink layer based on ĤUL, where, the angle information can be represented by several spatial domain compressed base vectors and the time delay information can be represented by several frequency domain compressed base vectors; step three, the network-side device transmits beamformed CSI-RSs to the terminal, where a beamformed CSI-RS is transmitted by each antenna port, and a total of X port beams are transmitted, where the beam transmitted by the transmitting port is obtained by calculating a kronecker product of a spatial domain compressed base vector and a frequency domain compressed base vector; and step four, the terminal receives the beamformed CSI-RS on each port, and by calculating a receiving power of the reference signal on each port, the terminal can select K0 ports corresponding to maximum reference signal receiving power, and report the K0 ports to the network-side device, then the terminal calculates beam combination coefficients on K0 transmission paths according to the selected K0 ports, quantizes the coefficients to obtain {circumflex over (β)}kDL, k=0, . . . , K0, and reports the quantized coefficients to the network-side device; and step five, the network-side device calculates a precoding W of each downlink layer based on each beam combination coefficient {circumflex over (β)}kDL reported by the terminal and K0 ports selected by the terminal, where the beams adopted by K0 ports are calculated based on the angle information and the time delay information of the uplink. Since the time delay information and the angle information of the upper channel and the lower channel have reciprocity, namely the time delay information and the angle information of the uplink and the downlink are equal, the calculation of downlink precoding can use K0 beams of the uplink.


It can be seen from the above, in step four, the terminal needs to select K0 ports and report the K0 ports to the network-side device. But there is currently no scheme for indicating the selected K0 ports. In this regard, the present application provides the following embodiments to indicate the ports selected by the terminal.


In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, which is a flowchart illustrating steps of an antenna port indication method applied to terminal-side according to embodiments of the present application, the method includes the following steps.


Step 101: transmitting a port indication message to a network-side device.


In one embodiment, the port indication message carries at least any one of the following port indication information: a bitmap information or a combination coefficient information for indicating ports selected by a terminal; a first parameter for indicating the ports selected by the terminal; or a second parameter for indicating ports selected by the terminal in a first polarization direction and a third parameter indicating ports selected by the terminal in a second polarization direction.


For example, the terminal transmits the port indication message carrying any one of the above port indication information to the network-side device, then the network-side device can directly determine the ports selected by the terminal based on the port indication information carried in the port indication message, to implement the indication for the ports selected by the terminal and reduce the feedback overhead of the terminal.


Further, when the port indication message carries the bitmap information or the combination coefficient information for indicating the ports selected by the terminal, before transmitting the port indication message to the network-side device, an auxiliary port indication message can be transmitted to the network-side device, where the auxiliary port indication message is determined through a fourth parameter, and the fourth parameter is configured to select L ports, where Z is a positive integer.


Furthermore, in this embodiment, before transmitting the port indication message to the network-side device, the terminal can obtain beamformed CSI-RS, or obtain the beamformed CSI-RS and a frequency domain base vector port indication information; and then, based on the beamformed CSI-RS, or the beamformed CSI-RS and the frequency domain base vector port indication information, obtain the port indication information carried in the port indication message.


In addition, in some embodiment, the following will describe the above port indication information respectively.


First, for example, the port indication information is bitmap information or combination parameter information.


The terminal can determine a size of a bitmap based on the number of spatial domain compressed base vectors and the number of frequency domain compressed base vectors that are configured by network-side or predefined; or, determine a value of the combination parameter based on the maximum number of ports allowed to be selected, the number of spatial domain compressed base vectors and the number of frequency domain compressed base vectors that are configured by network-side or predefined; or, determine the value of the combination parameter based on the number of spatial domain compressed base vectors, the number of frequency domain compressed base vectors that are configured by network-side or predefined and the number of nonzero port combination coefficients reported by the terminal.


In one embodiment, the size of the bitmap can be 2LM, where L represents the number of spatial domain compressed base vectors, and M represents the number of frequency domain compressed base vectors.


Further, the value of the combination parameter can be

where K0 represents the maximum number of ports allowed to be selected; or










log

(

,




where K0′ represents the number of nonzero port combination coefficients reported by the terminal.


For example, the ports selected by the terminal can be indicated by one or more bitmaps with a size of 2LM, or by

bits or









log

bits.


It should be noted that, the values of the parameters L, M and K0 can be configured for the terminal by the network-side device or can be predefined by a protocol.


In addition, the preset mode for marking the ports selected by the terminal can be preset, for example, 1 can be set to indicate the ports selected by the terminal, and 0 can be set to indicate the port that is not selected; which is not limited here.


The above embodiments are exemplified below.


In an example, it is assumed that the network-side device configures the terminal with the number of spatial domain compressed base vectors is 2 (L=2), the number of frequency domain compressed base vectors is 2 (M=2), the maximum number of ports allowed to be selected is 4 (K0=4), and the network-side device transmits one layer of data to the terminal.


The network-side device transmits the beamformed CSI-RS through 2LM=8 ports. At this time, the terminal calculates reference signal received power (Reference Signal Received Power, RSRP) of each port, sorts the 8 RSRPs by their magnitudes, and selects K0=4 RSRPs with the largest power.


In one embodiment, at this time, the port indication information of the ports selected by the terminal can be represented by a bitmap shown as follows.


















1

0

In the above bitmap, it is predefined that 1 represents the ports selected by the terminal, and it is predefined that 0 represents a port that is not selected by the terminal.


Further, the terminal can indicate the selected port by a combination coefficient

.





Finally, the terminal can transmit the port indication message in which the bitmap information or the combination coefficient information for indicating the ports selected by the terminal (e.g., the bitmap with the size of 8 bits or the combination parameter with the size of 7 bits) can be carried, to the network-side device.


In this way, the terminal implements a direct indication for the ports selected by the terminal through bitmap information or combination parameter information.


Second, for example, an auxiliary port indication message is transmitted to the network-side device.


In one embodiment, the terminal can select L consecutive ports by using the port selection method in NR Rel-15/16, and then determine the final port selected by the terminal through a bitmap information or a combination parameter information.


For example, when selecting the L continuous ports, the terminal selects L continuous ports by a fourth parameter m which is configured to indicate a starting port among the ports selected by the terminal, where

d∈{1, 2, 3, 4}, and a condition d≤L should be satisfied, and X represents the number of transmitting ports of the network-side device; then the terminal reports one or more bitmaps with a size of 2LM or an auxiliary information with a size of

bits for indicating the ports selected by the terminal, where the number of the ports selected by the terminal is no more than K0.


It should be noted that the parameters X, d, L, M, and K0 can be configured for the terminal by the network-side device or predefined by a protocol.


The above embodiments are exemplified below.


In an example, it is assumed that codebook parameters L, M, X, d and K0 configured by the network-side device for the terminal are L=2, M=2, X=16, d=2 and K0=4 and the network-side device transmits one layer of data to the terminal.


The terminal transmits the beamformed CSI-RS by transmitting X/2=8 ports in each polarization direction, and the port indexes are noted as 0, 1, . . . , 7. It may select 2L ports according to the port selection method in Rel-16, namely a port selection block is expressed as:

is 1 and the remaining elements are 0, and i represents a mod function. It is assumed that the terminal calculates RSRP of each port and the calculated parameter m=2, the indexes of L=2 consecutive ports in the first polarization direction and the second polarization direction are 3 and 4.


Then, the terminal reports a bitmap with a size of 2LM=8 bits for indicating the auxiliary information of the selected K0 ports. The bitmap indication mode can be shown as the following table.

Where, 1 represents the ports selected by the terminal, and 0 represents the port which is not selected by the terminal.


In one embodiment, the terminal further reports an auxiliary information with

bits




for indicating the selected K0 ports.


Finally, the port indication information for indicating the ports selected by the terminal, that is, the bitmap information with the size of 8 bits or the combined parameter information with the size of 7 bits, and the fourth parameter m=2 indicating the starting port among the ports selected by the terminal can be carried in a port indication message, and the terminal can transmit the port indication message to the network-side device.


In this way, the terminal implements the indication for the ports selected by the terminal through the port indication information of the starting port and the bitmap information or the combination parameter information.


Third, when the port indication information is a first parameter for indicating the ports selected by the terminal, before transmitting the port indication message to the network-side device, it may determine a first value range of the first parameter based on the number X of ports transmitted by the network-side device, the number K of the ports selected by the terminal and a sampling interval e for adjusting each K ports; where the first value range is from 0 to







(




X
e



-

)

,




e is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to K; and then determining the ports selected by the terminal based on the first parameter.


In one embodiment, when determining the ports selected by the terminal based on the first parameter, it may determine an index of a first port among the K ports based on the first parameter, and perform a first modulo operation on the ports number transmitted by the network-side device based on the index of the first port among the K ports and the sampling interval e to determine the indexes of K−1 ports.


The first modulo operation is mod(ne+i, X), where n represents the index of the first port among the K ports and the value range of i is [1, K−1].


In one embodiment, it should be noted that the parameters K, e and X can be configured by the network-side device, and can also be predefined by a protocol, which is not limited herein.


The above embodiments are illustrated by the following specific examples.


In an example, it is assumed that codebook parameters X, e and K configured by the network-side device for the terminal are X=16, e=2 and K=4 and the network-side device transmits one layer of data to the terminal.


As shown in FIG. 2, the network-side device transmits the beamformed CSI-RS through X=16 ports, and the indexes of the ports are denoted as 0, 1, 2, . . . , 15. In addition, based on the number X of ports transmitted by the network-side device, the number K of ports selected by the terminal and the sampling interval e used for adjusting each K ports, the value range of the first parameter is calculated to be 0 to







(




X
e



-

)

,




i.e. n∈{0, 1, K, 7}. In addition, referring to FIG. 2, after RSRP (corresponding to the vertical Power axis in FIG. 2) of each port is calculated, it can be calculated that the sum of RSRPs corresponding to K consecutive ports is maximal when n=1, and as can be seen from FIG. 2, the ports with indexes 2, 3, 4, and 5 are determined as the ports selected by the terminal. And finally, the terminal reports n=1 as indication information to the network-side device, to make the network-side device determine the K ports selected by the terminal according to the indication information.


Fourth, when the indication information is a second parameter used for indicating the ports selected by the terminal in the first polarization direction and a third parameter used for indicating the ports selected by the terminal in the second polarization direction, before transmitting the port indication message to the network-side device, the method can further include the following steps.


A second value range of the second parameter is determined based on the number X of ports transmitted by the network-side device, the number K1 of ports selected by the terminal in the first polarization direction and a sampling interval e1 used for adjusting each K1 ports; where the second value range is from 0 to







(

)

,




and e1 is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to K1; a third value range of the third parameter is determined based on the number X of ports transmitted by the network-side device, the number K2 of ports selected by the terminal in the second polarization direction and a sampling interval e2 used for adjusting each K2 ports; where the third value range is from 0 to







(




X

e

)

,




and e2 is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to K2; it may determine the ports selected by the terminal in the first polarization direction based on the second parameter and determine the ports selected by the terminal in the second polarization direction based on the third parameter.


In one embodiment, for example, when determining the ports selected by the terminal in the first polarization direction based on the second parameter and determining the ports selected by the terminal in the second polarization direction based on the third parameter, it may determine an index of a first port in K1 ports based on the second parameter, and perform a second modulo operation on a port transmitted by the network-side device in the first polarization direction based on the index of the first port in K1 ports and the sampling interval e1 to determine the indexes of K1−1 ports; an index of a first port in K2 ports is determined based on the third parameter, and a third modulo operation is performed on a port transmitted by the network-side device in the second polarization direction based on the index of the first port in K2 ports and the sampling interval e2 to determine the indexes of K2−1 ports.


The second modulo operation is mod(n1e1+j1, X/2), where n1 represents the index of the first port in K1 ports and the value range of j1 is [1, K1−1]; the third modulo operation is mod(n2e2+j2, X/2), where n2 represents the index of the first port in K2 ports and the value range of j2 is [1, K2−1].


In one embodiment, it should be noted that the parameters X, K1, K2, e1 and e2 can be configured by the network-side device or predefined by a protocol, and are not limited herein.


The above embodiments are illustrated by the following specific examples.


In an example, it is assumed that the codebook parameters X, e1, e2, K1, K2 and K configured by the network-side device for the terminal are X=16, e1=1, e2=1, K1=3, K2=3 and K=6 and the network-side device transmits one layer of data to the terminal.


As shown in FIG. 3, the network-side device transmits the beamformed CSI-RS through X=16 ports, indexes of the ports are denoted as 0, 1, 2, . . . , 15, and the number of ports transmitted by the terminal in the first polarization direction is calculated as X/2=8, and the indexes of the ports are 0, 1, 2, . . . , 7. In addition, based on the number X of ports transmitted by the network-side device, the number K1 of ports selected by the terminal in the first polarization direction and the sampling interval e1 used for adjusting each K1 ports, the maximum value of the second value range of the second parameter m1 is determined to be











X

e

,




that is, m1∈{0, 1, K, 7}. In addition, referring to FIG. 3, after RSRP (corresponding to the vertical Power axis in FIG. 3) of each port is calculated, it can be calculated that the sum of RSRPs corresponding to K1 consecutive ports is maximal when m1=2, and as can be seen from FIG. 3, the ports with indexes 2, 3, 4 and 5 are used as the ports selected by the terminal in the first polarization direction.


As shown in FIG. 4, similar to FIG. 3, X/2=8 ports transmitted in the second polarization direction are calculated, and the indexes of the ports are 8, 9, 10, . . . , 15. In addition, based on the number X of ports transmitted by the network-side device, the number K2 of ports selected by the terminal in the second polarization direction and the sampling interval e2 used for adjusting each K2 ports, the maximum value of the third value range of the third parameter m2 is determined to be











X

,




that is, it belongs to 1 to 7. Referring to FIG. 4, after RSRP (corresponding to the vertical Power axis in FIG. 4) of each port is calculated, it can be calculated that the sum of RSRPs corresponding to K2 consecutive ports is maximal when m2=3, and it can be seen from FIG. 4 that the ports with indexes 11, 12 and 13 are used as the ports selected by the terminal in the second polarization direction.


Finally, the terminal reports a second parameter m1=2 and a third parameter m2=3 for indicating the ports selected by the terminal to the network-side device, and the network-side device can respectively determine 3 ports selected by the terminal in the first polarization direction and 3 ports selected by the terminal in the second polarization direction according to the parameter information m1=2 and m2=3.


In this way, the terminal performs an indication report of the selected ports in the first polarization direction and the second polarization direction respectively, then the ports and the port numbers selected by the terminal in the two polarization directions can be the same or different, and the indication information for indicating the selected port can be the same or different, to avoid the problem that the same number of ports selected by the terminal can only be indicated by the same ports in the two polarization directions in the related art.


Furthermore, in this embodiment, when performing at least two-layer data transmission and transmitting a port indication message to a network-side device, it may transmit a first port indication message to the network-side device, where the first port indication message carries parameter information of ports selected by the terminal corresponding to all layers; or it may transmit second port indication messages with the same number as the number of the data transmission layers to the network-side device, where each layer corresponds to one second port indication message and each second port indication message carries parameter information of the ports selected by the terminal of the corresponding layer.


That is, for multi-layer data transmission, the selected port corresponding to all layers can be indicated by one port indication message, or the selected port corresponding to each layer can be independently indicated by one port indication message.


The above embodiments are described by the following examples.


In an example, it is assumed that codebook parameters L, M and K0 configured by the network-side device for the terminal are L=2, M=2 and K0=4 and the network-side device transmits two layers of data to the terminal.


The network-side device transmits the beamformed CSI-RS through 2LM=8 ports. The terminal calculates the RSRP of each port. For two-layer data transmission, after 8 RSRPs are sorted by size, the ports corresponding to the K0=4 RSRPs with the largest power are selected, and the selected port can be indicated by a bitmap shown in the following table.

Where, 1 in the table represents the ports selected by the terminal and 0 represents the port which is not selected by the terminal. The two layers of data transmission adopt the same indication information for indicating the ports selected by the terminal.


In one embodiment, for the first layer data transmission, the terminal selects K0=4 RSRPs with the largest amplitude among all combination coefficients of the first layer, and the selected port can be indicated by a bitmap shown in the following table.

For the second layer data transmission, the terminal selects 4 RSRPs with the largest amplitude among all combination coefficients of the second layer, and the selected port can be indicated by a bitmap shown in the following table.
