For ease of understanding, the following describes some content in embodiments of this application.


In a current NR system, a DMRS is for channel estimation. A DMRS of a data channel may be classified into a DMRS configuration type 1 and a DMRS configuration type 2 based on a type of the DMRS, and both of the DMRS configuration types support a single-symbol structure and a double-symbol structure. For the DMRS configuration type 1, the single-symbol structure supports a maximum of four ports, and the double-symbol structure supports a maximum of eight ports. For the DMRS configuration type 2, the single-symbol structure supports a maximum of six ports, and the double-symbol structure supports a maximum of twelve ports. In addition, the DMRS configuration type 1 supports two Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) groups, and the DMRS configuration type 2 supports three CDM groups.


In the NR system, the DMRS configuration type 1 of the data channel supports a maximum of eight ports, and the DMRS configuration type 2 supports a maximum of twelve ports. As a result, a quantity of data flows that can be simultaneously transmitted through the data channel and a quantity of terminals that reuse the data channel based on coordinated scheduling are both limited. In view of this, this application proposes a demodulation reference signal information determining method.


The following describes in detail the demodulation reference signal information determining method provided in embodiments of this application through some embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.


Refer to FIG. 1. An embodiment of this application provides a demodulation reference signal information determining method, including the following steps.


Step 201: A terminal receives first demodulation reference signal DMRS indication information sent by a network side device.


Step 202: The terminal determines DMRS information of a target DMRS based on the first DMRS indication information.


Ports, belonging to a same code division multiplexing CDM group, in the target DMRS are mapped based on a length-4 Frequency Division-Orthogonal Cover Code (FD-OCC) sequence. The DMRS information includes at least one of the following: a quantity of target CDM groups, where the target CDM group is a CDM group, not occupied by data, in a CDM group corresponding to the target DMRS; port information of the target DMRS; and a quantity of front-load symbols.


In this embodiment of this application, because the ports, belonging to the same code division multiplexing CDM group, in the target DMRS are mapped based on the length-4 FD-OCC sequence, in a case in which the target DMRS is a DMRS of a first configuration type, when the quantity of front-load symbols corresponding to the target DMRS is 1, the target DMRS supports a maximum of eight ports, or when the quantity of front-load symbols corresponding to the target DMRS is 2, the target DMRS supports a maximum of sixteen ports; or in a case in which the target DMRS is a DMRS of a second configuration type, when the quantity of front-load symbols corresponding to the target DMRS is 1, the target DMRS supports a maximum of twelve ports, or when the quantity of front-load symbols corresponding to the target DMRS is 2, the target DMRS supports a maximum of twenty-four ports (the port may be referred to as a DMRS port). Therefore, a transmission capacity of a communication system can be improved.


It should be understood that the quantity of front-load symbols may be 1 or 2. When the quantity of front-load symbols is 1, the DMRS is correspondingly of a single-symbol structure. When the quantity of front-load symbols is 2, the DMRS is correspondingly of a double-symbol structure.


According to this embodiment of this application, the DMRS information of the target DMRS is determined by using the first DMRS indication information, and the ports, belonging to the same code division multiplexing CDM group, in the target DMRS are mapped based on the length-4 FD-OCC sequence. In this way, a DMRS of a data channel can support more ports. Therefore, according to this embodiment of this application, the transmission capacity of the communication system can be improved.


It should be noted that in this embodiment of this application, the first DMRS indication information may use X bits for indication. The network side device and the terminal device may predetermine a DMRS indication table by default. Under each DMRS configuration type, different indication tables may be used based on a codeword enable status and a maximum symbol length of the DMRS. When DMRS information in different indication tables is indicated, X may be valued to be different. For example, when the indication table includes four rows of DMRS information, X may be valued to 2. When the indication table includes eight rows of DMRS information, X may be valued to 3. When the indication table includes sixteen rows of DMRS information, X may be valued to 4. When the indication table includes thirty-two rows of DMRS information, X may be valued to 5. When the indication table includes sixty-four rows of DMRS information, X may be valued to 6. When the indication table includes one hundred and twenty-eight rows of DMRS information, X may be valued to 7. The first DMRS indication information may be downlink control information (Downlink Control Information, DCI) or information carried through DCI.


In some embodiments, the terminal may determine, based on a quantity of bits of the first DMRS indication information, an indication table for determining the DMRS information, or determine, based on Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling configured by the network side device, an indication table for determining the DMRS information.

In some embodiments, before the terminal receives the first demodulation reference signal DMRS indication information sent by the network side device, the method further includes: the terminal reports first capability information to the network side device, where the first capability information indicates whether the terminal supports the network side device in indicating the DMRS information of the target DMRS by using the first DMRS indication information.


In this embodiment of this application, in a case in which the terminal reports the first capability information to a network side, the network side device may determine, based on the first capability information, whether the terminal supports the network side device in indicating the DMRS information of the target DMRS by using the first DMRS indication information. In a case in which the terminal supports the network side device in indicating the DMRS information of the target DMRS by using the first DMRS indication information, the network side device may indicate the DMRS information of the target DMRS by using the first DMRS indication information; or in a case in which the terminal does not support the network side device in indicating the DMRS information of the target DMRS by using the first DMRS indication information, the network side device may indicate DMRS information of a conventional DMRS in a conventional indication manner, for example, indicate the DMRS information by using third DMRS indication information.


In some embodiments, after the terminal reports the first capability information to the network side device, the method further includes:

    • the terminal receives first DMRS configuration information sent by the network side device, where the first DMRS configuration information indicates the terminal to determine the DMRS information of the target DMRS based on the first DMRS indication information.


In this embodiment of this application, the first DMRS configuration information may be RRC configuration signaling. The network side device may configure or indicate, by using the first DMRS configuration information, the terminal to determine the DMRS information of the target DMRS based on the first DMRS indication information. After receiving the first DMRS configuration information, the terminal may determine the DMRS information of the target DMRS based on the first DMRS indication information.


In some embodiments, after the terminal reports the first capability information to the network side device, the method further includes:

    • the terminal receives second DMRS indication information sent by the network side device, where the second DMRS indication information indicates the terminal whether to determine the DMRS information of the target DMRS based on the first DMRS indication information.


In this embodiment of this application, the second DMRS indication information may be understood as DCI or information carried through DCI. The network side device may switch an indication manner for the DMRS information by using the second DMRS indication information. For example, in a case in which the network side device indicates, by using the second DMRS indication information, the terminal to determine the DMRS information of the target DMRS based on the first DMRS indication information, the terminal may determine the DMRS information of the target DMRS by using the first DMRS indication information; or in a case in which the network side device indicates, by using the second DMRS indication information, the terminal to determine the DMRS information based on the third DMRS indication information, the terminal may determine the DMRS information by using the third DMRS indication information. The third DMRS indication information is used to determine DMRS information of a second DMRS. Ports, belonging to a same code division multiplexing CDM group, in the second DMRS are mapped based on a length-2 FD-OCC sequence.


In some embodiments, before the terminal receives the first demodulation reference signal DMRS indication information sent by the network side device, the method further includes: the terminal reports second capability information to the network side device, where the second capability information indicates whether the terminal supports reception of second DMRS indication information, and the second DMRS indication information indicates the terminal whether to determine the DMRS information of the target DMRS based on the first DMRS indication information.


In some embodiments, the second DMRS indication information is located in a target indicator field in downlink control information.


In this embodiment of this application, an indicator field (for example, 1-bit) may be added to the DCI to indicate the terminal to receive the first DMRS indication information or receive third DMRS indication information.


In some embodiments, that the terminal determines DMRS information of a target DMRS based on the first DMRS indication information includes:

    • the terminal determines the DMRS information of the target DMRS based on the first DMRS indication information and rank information in a case in which a data channel corresponding to the target DMRS is a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).


In this embodiment of this application, the rank information may be referred to as a rank value. When the data channel is the PUSCH, the DMRS information corresponding to the target DMRS may be jointly determined based on the rank value and the first DMRS indication information. The following describes the case of jointly determining the DMRS information corresponding to the target DMRS based on the rank value and the first DMRS indication information.


For example, when the type of the target DMRS is the first configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 1, and a rank is 1, the first DMRS indication information may use four bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the first configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 1, and a rank is 2, the first DMRS indication information may use three bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the first configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 1, and a rank is 3, the first DMRS indication information may use two bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the first configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 1, and a rank is 4, the first DMRS indication information may use two bits for indication.


When the type of the target DMRS is the first configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 2, and a rank is 1, the first DMRS indication information may use five bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the first configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 2, and a rank is 2, the first DMRS indication information may use five bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the first configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 2, and a rank is 3, the first DMRS indication information may use three bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the first configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 2, and a rank is 4, the first DMRS indication information may use three bits for indication.


When the type of the target DMRS is the second configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 1, and a rank is 1, the first DMRS indication information may use five bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the second configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 1, and a rank is 2, the first DMRS indication information may use four bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the second configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 1, and a rank is 3, the first DMRS indication information may use three bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the second configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 1, and a rank is 4, the first DMRS indication information may use two bits for indication.


When the type of the target DMRS is the second configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 2, and a rank is 1, the first DMRS indication information may use six bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the second configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 1, and a rank is 2, the first DMRS indication information may use six bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the second configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 1, and a rank is 3, the first DMRS indication information may use four bits for indication. When the type of the target DMRS is the second configuration type, a transform precoder is disabled, the maximum symbol length of the target DMRS is 1, and a rank is 4, the first DMRS indication information may use three bits for indication.
