All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.
The terms “first”, “second”, and the like in this specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish between similar objects rather than to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in such a way is interchangeable in appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of this application can be implemented in other orders than the order illustrated or described herein. Moreover, the objects distinguished by “first” and “second” are usually of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object may be one or more than one. In addition, “and/or” in the specification and claims represents at least one of connected objects, and the character “/” generally indicates that the associated objects have an “or” relationship.
It should be noted that the technology described in embodiments of this application is not limited to a long term evolution (LTE)/LTE-advanced (LTE-A) system, and may also be used in various wireless communications systems, such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), single-carrier frequency-division multiple access (SC-FDMA), and other systems. The terms “system” and “network” in the embodiments of this application are often used interchangeably. The described technology may be used in the foregoing systems and radio technologies as well as other systems and radio technologies. However, in the following descriptions, a new radio (NR) system is described for an illustration purpose, and NR terms are used in most of the following descriptions, although these technologies may also be applied to other applications than an NR system application, for example, the 6th generation (6G) communications system.
The following describes in detail a method for determining channel state information provided in the embodiments of this application by using specific embodiments and application scenarios thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Refer to
Step 201: Determine a first channel state information (CSI) report based on at least one of the following mappings:
a mapping between multiple groups of channel measurement resources (CMR) and multiple groups of interference measurement resources (IMR); or
a mapping between multiple groups of CMRs and one group of IMRs, where
each group of CMRs includes one or more CMRs, and each group of IMRs includes one or more IMRs. One group of CMRs corresponds to one TRP, one group of CMRs corresponds to one target CSI report, and a first CSI report includes multiple target CSI reports.
The first CSI report may be a beam-related CSI report or may be a multi-transmission reception point (MTRP) related CSI report.
In this embodiment, the first CSI report is determined according to a mapping between multiple groups of CMRs and multiple groups of IMRs and/or a mapping between multiple groups of CMRs and one group of IMRs, and the IMRs may not be in a one-to-one mapping with the CMRs, that is, the number of the IMRs may be less than the number of the CMRs, so as to reduce the configuration overheads for IMRs.
In the foregoing descriptions, in a case that the first CSI report corresponds to one CSI reporting setting, if multiple CMRs are mapped to one IMR, the first CSI report is further determined according to multiple pieces of quasi co-location QCL information or multiple transmission configuration indicator TCI states of the IMR.
Descriptions like “if xxxx, then yyyy” in the embodiments of this application can be understood as “in a case of xxxx, yyyy is performed”. For example, the foregoing description “in a case that the first CSI report corresponds to one CSI reporting setting, if multiple CMRs are mapped to one IMR, the first CSI report is further determined according to multiple pieces of quasi co-location QCL information or multiple transmission configuration indicator TCI states of the IMR” may be understood as “in a case that the first CSI report corresponds to one CSI reporting setting and that multiple CMRs are mapped to one IMR, the first CSI report is further determined according to multiple pieces of quasi co-location QCL information or multiple transmission configuration indicator TCI states of the IMR”.
In a mapping from multiple groups of CMRs to multiple groups of IMRs or from multiple CMRs to one group of IMRs, if multiple CMRs are mapped to one IMR, the first CSI report is further determined according to multiple pieces of quasi co-location (QCL) information or multiple transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states of the IMR.
The QCL information or the TCI states include one or more of QCLtypeA, QCLtypeB, QCLtypeC, and QCLtypeD.
In the foregoing descriptions, the mapping between multiple groups of CMRs and multiple groups of IMRs includes:
a one-to-one mapping between the multiple groups of CMRs and the multiple groups of IMRs, where
for a first group of CMRs and a first group of IMRs that are mapped, CMRs in the first group of CMRs are in a one-to-one mapping to IMRs in the first group of IMRs, or multiple CMRs in the first group of CMRs are mapped to one IMR in the first group of IMRs, where the first group of CMRs is one of the multiple groups of CMRs, and the first group of IMRs is one of the multiple groups of IMRs.
In other words, for one group of CMRs and one group of IMRs that are mapped, the CMRs and IMRs in the groups can be mapped in a one-to-one manner, that is, the CMRs in the first group of CMRs are in a one-to-one mapping with the IMRs in the first group of IMRs; or the CMRs and IMRs in the groups can be mapped in a multiple-to-one manner, that is, the multiple CMRs in the first group of CMRs are mapped to one IMR in the first group of IMRs. Preferably, the one-to-one mapping between multiple groups of CMRs and multiple groups of IMRs can be applied to the case that the first CSI report corresponds to one CSI reporting setting.
The mapping manners between groups may be the same or different. For example, group A1 and group A2 are both CMR groups, group B1 and group B2 are both IMR groups, group A1 is mapped to group B1, and group A2 is mapped to group B2. For group A1 and group B1, the CMRs and IMRs in the groups may be mapped in a one-to-one or multiple-to-one manner; and for group A2 and group B2, the CMRs and IMRs in the groups may be mapped in a one-to-one or multiple-to-one manner.
In the foregoing descriptions, if the CMRs in the first group of CMRs are in a one-to-one mapping with the IMRs in the first group of IMRs, QCL information of the IMR in the first group of IMRs is the same as QCL information of the corresponding mapped-to CMRs, or a TCI state of the IMR in the first group of IMRs is the same as a TCI state of the corresponding mapped-to CMR. The IMR is a non-zero power channel state information-reference signal (Non-Zero Power Channel State Information-Reference Signal, NZP CSI-RS) IMR, or a channel state information interference measurement (CSI-IM) IMR.
In the foregoing descriptions, the mapping between multiple groups of CMRs and one group of IMRs includes:
a mapping from multiple groups of CMRs to a second group of IMRs, where
for a second group of CMRs and the second group of IMRs that are mapped, CMRs in the second group of CMRs are in a one-to-one mapping to IMRs in the second group of IMRs, or multiple CMRs in the second group of CMRs are mapped to one IMR in the second group of IMRs, where the second group of CMRs is one of the multiple groups of CMRs.
In other words, multiple groups of CMRs are mapped to the same group of IMRs. For one group of CMRs and multiple groups of IMRs that are mapped, the CMRs and IMRs in the groups can be mapped in a one-to-one manner, that is, the CMRs in the second group of CMRs are in a one-to-one mapping with the IMRs in the second group of IMRs; or the CMRs and IMRs in the groups can be mapped in a multiple-to-one manner, that is, multiple CMRs in the second group of CMRs are mapped to one IMR in the second group of IMRs. Preferably, the mapping from multiple groups of CMRs to the second group of IMRs can be applied to the case that the first CSI report corresponds to one CSI reporting setting.
The mapping manners between groups may be the same or different. For example, group A1 and group A2 are both CMR groups, group B1 is an IMR group, group A1 is mapped to group B1, and group A2 is mapped to group B1. For group A1 and group B1, the CMRs and IMRs in the groups may be mapped in a one-to-one or multiple-to-one manner; and for group A2 and group B1, the CMRs and IMRs in the groups may be mapped in a one-to-one or multiple-to-one manner.
In an embodiment of this application, the mapping between multiple groups of CMRs and one group of IMRs includes:
a mapping from multiple groups of CMRs to a third group of IMRs; where
if CMRs in each group of CMRs are in a one-to-one mapping to IMRs in the third group of IMRs, the IMRs in the third group of IMRs have multiple pieces of QCL information or multiple TCI states, where
one of the multiple pieces of QCL information is the same as QCL information of one CMR in each group of CMRs, and different QCL information of the IMR corresponds to different CMRs; and one of the multiple TCI states is the same as a TCI state of one CMR in each group of CMRs, and different TCI states of the IMR correspond to different CMRs. The IMRs in the third group of IMR may be CSI-IM IMRs. Preferably, the mapping between multiple groups of CMRs and the third group of IMRs can be applied to the case that the first CSI report corresponds to one CSI reporting setting.
For example, group A1 and group A2 are both CMR groups, group B1 is an IMR group, and group A1 and group A2 are both mapped to group B1, where group A1 includes CMR1 and CMR2, group A2 includes CMR3 and CMR4, and group B1 includes IMR1 and IMR2. CMR1 and CMR3 are both mapped to IMR1, and CMR2 and CMR4 are both mapped to IMR2.
IMR1 and IMR2 both have multiple pieces of QCL information or multiple TCI states. First QCL information in the multiple pieces of QCL information in IMR2 is the same as the QCL information in CMR1, and second QCL information in the multiple pieces of QCL information in IMR2 is the same as the QCL information in CMR2, where the first QCL information and the second QCL information are different QCL information in the multiple pieces of QCL information in IMR2.
In other words, in a case that the first CSI report corresponds to one CSI reporting setting, the first CSI report can be determined according to the following mapping: multiple CMR groups are mapped to one CSI-IM IMR group, the CMRs in each CMR group are in a one-to-one mapping with the IMRs in the IMR group, that is, multiple CMRs from different CMR groups are mapped to the same IMR, and the IMR has multiple pieces of QCL information or TCI states, where each piece of QCL information or each TCI state is the same as a piece of QCL information or a TCI state of a corresponding CMR, and different QCL information or TCI states of the IMR corresponds to different CMRs.
In an embodiment of this application, in a case that the first CSI report corresponds to one CSI reporting setting, the first CSI report includes at least one of the following report parameters:
CRI, PMI, RI, CQI, RSRP, SINR, LI, I1, and SSBRI;
the report parameters are determined according to at least one of the following manners:
being determined according to RRC configuration;
being determined based on a quantity of control resource set pool indexes in PDCCH configuration or based on the quantity of control resource set pool indexes and index values of the control resource set pool indexes;
being determined based on newly added content related to a report quantity in CSI report configuration; or
being determined based on a newly added field indicating a report quantity in CSI report configuration.
In the foregoing description, the channel state information resource indicator (CRI), precoding matrix indicator (PMI), rank indicator (RI), channel quality indicator (CQI), reference signal received power (RSRP), signal to interference noise ratio (SINR), layer indicator (LI), composite codebook index (I1), and synchronization signal block resource indicator (SSBRI) may be provided in one or more.
The report parameters can be determined according to the radio resource control (RRC) signaling configuration or configured through a higher layer parameter, physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) configuration (PDCCH-Config). The report parameters may alternatively be determined based on newly added content related to a report quantity in CSI report configuration or determined based on a newly added field indicating a report quantity in CSI report configuration.
Specifically, the report parameters can be determined based on the values and quantity of control resource set pool index values (CORESETPoolIndex) in the higher layer parameter PDCCH configuration (that is, PDCCH-Config).
In a case that the report parameters are determined according to the PDCCH configuration, if the PDCCH configuration includes one control resource set pool index or the PDCCH configuration includes no control resource set pool index, the report parameters included in the target CSI report are the same or different in quantity. For example, if the PDCCH configuration includes one CORESETPoolIndex or no CORESETPoolIndex, one CSI report may include 1 CRI, 1 CQI, 1 RI, and 2 PMIs, or include 2 CRIs, 1 CQI, 2 RIs, and 2 PMIs.
Alternatively, if the PDCCH configuration includes multiple control resource set pool indexes, and index values of the control resource set pool indexes are different, each of the report parameters included in the target CSI report has a same quantity as the control resource set pool indexes, or each of the report parameters included in the target CSI report has a same quantity as TRPs. For example, if the PDCCH configuration includes two or more CORESETPoolIndexes with different values, one CSI report may include 2 CRIs, 2 PMIs, 2 RIs, and 2 CQIs.
The reporting setting is determined based on newly added content related to a report quantity in CSI report configuration. For example, a higher layer parameter (that is, reportQuantity) may be added in the CSI report configuration (that is, CSI-ReportConfig) to add some special content to support MTRP CSI, for example, 1 CRI, 1 CQI, 1 RI, and 2 PMIs; 2 CRIs, 1 CQI, 2 RIs, and 2 PMIs; or 2 CRIs, 2 CQIs, 2 RIs, and 2 PMIs.
The report parameters are determined based on a newly added field indicating a report quantity in CSI report configuration. For example, a new field may be added to the CSI report configuration (CSI-ReportConfig) to support MTRP CSI quantity selection. For example, a Quantity-mtrp field is added to support multiple configurations, for example, 1 CRI, 1 CQI, 1 RI, and 2 PMIs; or 2 CRIs, 1 CQI, 2 RIs, and 2 PMIs; or 2 CRIs, 2 CQIs, 2 RIs, and 2 PMIs.
In the foregoing descriptions, each report parameter can be provided in two or more, so as to better support MTRP transmission.
In an embodiment of this application, in a case that N CMRs are mapped to one IMR, if no measurement occasion for interference measurement resources is present between the N CMRs, the IMR corresponding to the N CMRs is determined by mapping interference measurement resources on the latest N measurement occasions to the N CMRs according to a first preset rule, where N is an integer greater than 1;
or
in a case that N CMRs are mapped to one IMR, if measurement occasions for interference measurement resources are present between the N CMRs, an IMR corresponding to a first CMR in the N CMRs is an interference measurement resource on the latest measurement occasion mapped by no other CMRs before the first CMR, and an IMR corresponding to an n-th CMR in the N CMRs is an interference measurement resource on the latest measurement occasion mapped by no other CMRs before the n-th CMR, where n is an integer greater than 1 and less than or equal to N, an (n−1)-th CMR comes earlier than the n-th CMR, and the N CMRs are mapped to the measurement occasions in an order from an N-th CMR to the first CMR. That is, in a case of determining the IMR corresponding to the N CMRs, an IMR corresponding to the latest CMR is first determined, and then IMRs corresponding to all other CMRs are determined in an order of presence of the CMRs, from the latest to the earliest.
In the foregoing descriptions, the first preset rule is: IMRs corresponding to the N CMRs are in one-to-one mapping to interference measurement resources on the latest N measurement occasions.
For example, in a case that two CMRs are mapped to a same IMR, if no measurement occasion for interference measurement resources is present between the two CMRs, the IMR corresponding to the two CMRs is determined by mapping channel measurement resources on the latest two measurement occasions to the two CMRs according to a specified rule.
The first preset rule may be: The IMR is determined according to an order of presence of the two CMRs. That is, the IMR corresponding to the first CMR is the first measurement occasion of the latest two measurement occasions, and the IMR corresponding to the second CMR is the second measurement occasion of the latest two measurement occasions. Alternatively, the IMR corresponding to the first CMR is the second measurement occasion of the latest two measurement occasions, and the IMR corresponding to the second CMR is the first measurement occasion of the latest two measurement occasions. This can be flexibly set based on an actual situation and is not limited herein.
If measurement occasions for interference measurement resources are present between the two CMRs, a measurement occasion of an IMR corresponding to the first CMR is the IMR on the latest measurement occasion before the first CMR, and an measurement occasion of the IMR corresponding to the second CMR is the latest measurement occasion between the two CMRs.
In a case that the first CSI report corresponds to one CSI reporting setting, the multiple pieces of QCL information of the IMR are used in one of the following ways: using one piece of QCL information on one measurement occasion or using multiple pieces of QCL information on one measurement occasion.
The multiple pieces of QCL information of the IMR are used in one of the following ways: using one piece of QCL information on one measurement occasion; or using multiple pieces of QCL information on one measurement occasion, where each piece of QCL information may correspond to different UE antenna panels or antenna ports.
In an embodiment of this application, in a case that M CMRs are mapped to one IMR, if no measurement occasion for interference measurement resources is present between the M CMRs, QCL information corresponding to the M CMRs is determined by mapping interference measurement resources on the latest M measurement occasions to the M CMRs according to a second preset rule, where M is an integer greater than 1;
or
in a case that M CMRs are mapped to one IMR, if measurement occasions for interference measurement resources are present between the M CMRs, QCL information of an IMR corresponding to a first CMR in the M CMRs is determined based on an interference measurement resource on the latest measurement occasion mapped by no other CMRs before the first CMR, and QCL information of an IMR corresponding to an m-th CMR in the M CMRs is determined based on an interference measurement resource on the latest measurement occasion mapped by no other CMRs before the m-th CMR, where m is an integer greater than 1 and less than or equal to M, an (m−1)-th CMR comes earlier than the m-th CMR, and the M CMRs are mapped to the measurement occasions in an order from an M-th CMR to the first CMR. That is, in a case of determining the IMR corresponding to the M CMRs, an IMR corresponding to the latest CMR is first determined, and then IMRs corresponding to all other CMRs are determined in an order of presence of the CMRs, from the latest to the earliest.
The second preset rule is: IMRs corresponding to the M CMRs are in one-to-one mapping with interference measurement resources on the latest M measurement occasions.
For example, in a case that two CMRs are mapped to a same IMR, if no measurement occasion for interference measurement resources is present between the two CMRs, QCL information of the IMR corresponding to the N CMRs can be determined by mapping channel measurement resources on the latest two measurement occasions to the two CMRs according to a specified rule.
The second preset rule may be: The IMR is determined according to an order of presence of the two CMRs. That is, the IMR corresponding to the first CMR is the first measurement occasion of the latest two measurement occasions, and the IMR corresponding to the second CMR is the second measurement occasion of the latest two measurement occasions. Alternatively, the IMR corresponding to the first CMR is the second measurement occasion of the latest two measurement occasions, and the IMR corresponding to the second CMR is the first measurement occasion of the latest two measurement occasions. This can be flexibly set based on an actual situation and is not limited herein.
If measurement occasions for interference measurement resources are present between the two CMRs, a measurement occasion of an IMR corresponding to the first CMR is the IMR on the latest measurement occasion before the first CMR, and an measurement occasion of the IMR corresponding to the second CMR is the latest measurement occasion between the two CMRs.
In an embodiment of this application, after the determining a first channel state information CSI report, the method further includes:
sending a second CSI report, where
the second CSI report includes a first target CSI report and a second target CSI report, the first target CSI report is a target CSI report that is unselected in multiple target CSI reports in the first CSI report, and the second target CSI report is a target CSI report that is selected in the multiple target CSI reports.
This embodiment can be applied to a case that the first CSI report corresponds to one CSI reporting setting or a case that the first CSI report corresponds to multiple CSI reporting settings.
One target CSI report corresponds to one TRP, and the terminal can select, according to the target CSI report, a TRP that the terminal expects to schedule the terminal. If the terminal does not expect that a TRP schedules the terminal based on a CSI or does not expect that a TRP schedules the terminal, the terminal can set a CQI index value of the corresponding CSI or a target CSI of the corresponding TRP to 0 when generating the target CSI report (details are provided in the following descriptions). After the network-side device decodes the target CSI report, if the CQI index value corresponding to the target CSI is 0, it indicates that the terminal does not expect the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI or does not expect to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to the target CSI.
The first target CSI report is a target CSI report corresponding to a TRP that the terminal does not expect to select, and the second target CSI report is a target CSI report corresponding to a TRP that the terminal expects to select. The second CSI report may include only part of the first target CSI report, for example, content of a first part (part1). The second CSI report may include a first part of the second target CSI report and all other parts of the second target CSI report apart from the first part. For example, if the second target CSI report includes a first part (part1) and a second part (part2), the second CSI report may include the first part and second part of the second target CSI report. In other words, the second CSI report may include the first part of the first target CSI report and/or all parts of the second target CSI report.
In the foregoing descriptions, being selected or unselected can be indicated according to the first part of the target CSI report. That is, in a case that the first part of the first target CSI report includes at least one of the following, it indicates that the TRP corresponding to the first target CSI report is not selected and the terminal does not expect the network-side device to schedule the TRP:
a CQI index value being 0 or a first specified value;
an RI index value being 0 or a second specified value; or
a CSI state indicated by a bitmap being a first state.
In a case that the first part of the second target CSI report includes at least one of the following, it indicates that the TRP corresponding to the second target CSI report is selected and the terminal expects the network-side device to schedule the TRP:
a CQI index value being not 0 or not a first specified value;
an RI index value being not 0 or not a second specified value;
a CRI; or
a CSI state indicated by a bitmap being a second state.
Specifically, if the CQI index value (index) in the first part is 0 (that is, OOR) or a first specified value, it indicates that the terminal has not selected the current target CSI, that is, the terminal does not expect to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to that target CSI or does not expect the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI with a CQI index value being 0, and if the CQI index value is 0, and that target CSI includes two or more parts, the terminal does not report any part other than part1; and if the CQI index value (index) in the first part is not 0 (that is, OOR) or not the first specified value, it indicates that the terminal selects the current target CSI, that is, the terminal expects to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to that target CSI or expects the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI with a CSI index value being not 0, and if the CQI index value is 0, and the target CSI includes two or more parts, the terminal reports other parts in addition to part1.
If the RI in the first part is 0 or a second specified value, it indicates that the terminal has not selected the current target CSI, that is, the terminal does not expect to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to that target CSI or does not expect the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI with an RI being 0, and if that target CSI includes two or more parts, the terminal does not report any part other than part1; and if the RI in the first part is not 0 or not the second specified value, it indicates that the terminal selects the current target CSI, that is, the terminal expects to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to that target CSI or expects the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI with an RI being not 0, and if that target CSI includes two or more parts, the terminal reports other parts in addition to part1;
if one or more CRIs are reported in the first part, it indicates that the terminal selects a CSI corresponding to the current one or more CRIs, and if a CSI unselected includes two or more parts, the terminal does not report any part other than part1; and
a CSI state in the current report is explicitly indicated in part1 through bitmap mapping, and if a bit corresponding to the target CSI is invalid, for example, being 0 or in a first state, it indicates that the terminal does not select that target CSI, that is, the terminal does not expect to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to the CSI corresponding to the bit being 0, or does not expect the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI corresponding to the bit being 0. In addition, if the target CSI corresponding to the bit being 0 includes two or more parts, the terminal does not report any part other than part1.
If the bit (bit) corresponding to the target CSI is valid, for example, being 1 or in a second state, it indicates that the terminal has selected that target CSI, that is, the terminal expects to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to the CSI corresponding to the bit being 1, or expects the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI corresponding to the bit being 1. In addition, if the target CSI corresponding to the bit being 1 includes two or more parts, the terminal reports other parts in addition to part1.
In an embodiment of this application, in a case that the first CSI report corresponds to multiple CSI reporting settings, after the determining a first channel state information CSI report, the method further includes:
sending a third CSI report for multiple times, where the third CSI report is determined based on a first target CSI report and a second target CSI report;
or
sending a joint CSI report, where the joint CSI report includes report parameters corresponding to the second target CSI report, where
the first target CSI report is a target CSI report that is unselected in multiple target CSI reports in the first CSI report, and the second target CSI report is a target CSI report that is selected in the multiple target CSI reports.
Specifically, the third CSI report is sent for multiple times, and the third CSI report sent each time may be a same or different CSI report. The third CSI report may include part of the first target CSI report and all parts of the second target CSI report.
Report parameters included in the third CSI report can be determined based on the report parameters in the second target CSI report. In each CSI reporting setting, a different quantity of report parameters can be configured. For example, in a case that 2 PMIs, 2 RIs, and 1 CQI being reported for multiple times is determined according to the second target CSI report, if two third CSI reports are used to report 2 PMIs, 2 RIs, and 1 CQI to two TRPs, a CSI reporting setting corresponding to the 1st third CSI report can be configured to 1 PMI, 1 RI, and 1 CQI, and a CSI reporting setting corresponding to the 2nd third CSI report can be configured to 1 PMI and 1 RI; CQI in the second third CSI report is from the 1st third CSI report; and the two third CSI report can be reported on different resources.
Alternatively, a joint CSI report can be reported at one time, where the joint CSI report may include multiple PMIs, CQIs, and Ms that correspond to multiple CSI reporting settings. For example, if 2 PMIs, 2 RIs, and 1 CQI need to be reported to two TRPs through two target CSI reports, the 2 PMIs, 2 RIs, and 1 CQI can be reported on report resources corresponding to the CSI reporting setting of the 1st second target CSI report or the 2nd second target report.
In the foregoing descriptions, the joint CSI may include only the second target CSI report or may include the first target CSI report and the second target CSI report. For example, the joint CSI report may include the first part of the first target CSI report and/or all parts of the second target CSI report.
In the foregoing descriptions, if the multiple target CSI reports correspond to different PUCCH resources or PUSCH resources, the third CSI report is sent for multiple times;
if the multiple target CSI reports correspond to a same PUCCH resource or PUSCH resource, the joint CSI report is sent.
In other words, the terminal can determine, based on the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) or the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), whether to report multiple target CSI reports separately or report one joint CSI report. For example, if multiple CSI reporting settings correspond to a same PUCCH resource or PUSCH resource, one joint CSI report is reported; and if the multiple CSI reporting settings correspond to different PUCCH resources or PUSCH resources, the multiple target CSI reports are reported based on the respective resources.
In this application, a target CSI report is used to indicate to a network-side device that a terminal does not expect scheduling by a TRP corresponding to a target CSI. In addition, this application can better support reporting of two or more report parameters in different MTRP transmission modes (such as S-DCI and M-DCI), for example, reporting of 2 CRIs, 1 CQI, 2 RIs, 2 PMIs, and the like. Feedback such as selection or deselection is indicated in a first part of the target CSI report, which can reduce feedback overheads and complexity of system scheduling.

Step 301: Configure a reporting setting, where the reporting setting includes at least one of the following mappings:

In this embodiment, the reporting setting includes a mapping between multiple groups of CMRs and multiple groups of IMRs and/or a mapping between multiple groups of CMRs and one group of IMRs, and the IMRs may be not in a one-to-one mapping with the CMRs, that is, a quantity of the IMRs may be less than a quantity of the CMRs, so as to reduce the configuration overheads for IMRs.
In the foregoing descriptions, each of the multiple groups of CMRs corresponds to one transmission-reception point TRP or one transmission configuration indicator TCI state, and the multiple groups of CMRs have a same shift or different shifts.
In an embodiment of this application, the method for determining a reporting setting further includes:

Further, after the receiving a CSI report, the method further includes:

Specifically, if the CQI index value (index) in the first part is 0 (that is, OOR) or a first specified value, it indicates that the terminal has not selected the current target CSI, that is, the terminal does not expect to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to that target CSI or does not expect the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI with a CQI index value being 0, and if the CQI index value is 0, and that target CSI includes two or more parts, the terminal does not report any part other than part1; and if the CQI index value (index) in the first part is not 0 (that is, OOR) or not the first specified value, it indicates that the terminal selects the current target CSI, that is, the terminal expects to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to that target CSI or expects the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI with a CSI index value being not 0, and if the CQI index value is not 0, and the target CSI includes two or more parts (part), the terminal reports other parts in addition to part1.
If the RI in the first part is 0 or a second specified value, it indicates that the terminal has not selected the current target CSI, that is, the terminal does not expect to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to that target CSI or does not expect the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI with an RI being 0, and if that target CSI includes two or more parts, the terminal does not report any part other than part1; and if the RI in the first part is not 0 or not the second specified value, it indicates that the terminal selects the current target CSI, that is, the terminal expects to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to that target CSI or expects the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI with an RI being not 0, and if that target CSI includes two or more parts, the terminal reports other parts in addition to part1;
if one or more CRIs are reported in the first part, it indicates that the terminal selects a CSI corresponding to the current one or more CRIs, and if a CSI unselected includes two or more parts, the terminal does not report any part other than part1; and
a CSI state in the current report is explicitly indicated in part1 through bitmap mapping, and if a bit corresponding to the target CSI is invalid, for example, being 0 or in a first state, it indicates that the terminal does not select that target CSI, that is, the terminal does not expect to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to the CSI corresponding to the bit being 0, or does not expect the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI corresponding to the bit being 0. In addition, if the target CSI corresponding to the bit being 0 includes two or more parts, the terminal does not report any part other than part1.
If the bit corresponding to the target CSI is valid, for example, being 1 or in a second state, it indicates that the terminal has selected that target CSI, that is, the terminal expects to participate in scheduling by a TRP corresponding to the CSI corresponding to the bit being 1, or expects the network-side device to perform scheduling according to the CSI corresponding to the bit being 1. In addition, if the target CSI corresponding to the bit being 1 includes two or more parts, the terminal reports other parts in addition to part1.

It should be noted that, in this specification, the terms “include”, “comprise”, or any of their variants are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, a method, an article, or an apparatus that includes a series of elements not only includes those elements but also includes other elements that are not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. In absence of more constraints, an element preceded by “includes a . . . ” does not preclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element. Furthermore, it should be noted that the scope of the methods and apparatuses in the embodiments of this application is not limited to performing the functions in the order shown or discussed, but may also include performing the functions in a substantially simultaneous manner or in a reverse order depending on the functions involved. For example, the described methods may be performed in an order different from that described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. In addition, features described with reference to some examples may be combined in other examples.
By means of the foregoing description of the implementations, persons skilled in the art may clearly understand that the method in the foregoing embodiments may be implemented by software with a necessary general hardware platform. Certainly, the method in the foregoing embodiments may also be implemented by hardware. However, in many cases, the former is a preferred implementation. Based on such an understanding, the technical solutions of this application essentially or the part contributing to the prior art may be implemented in a form of a software product. The computer software product is stored in a storage medium (such as a ROM/RAM, a magnetic disk, or an optical disc), and includes several instructions for instructing a terminal (which may be a mobile phone, a computer, a server, an air conditioner, a network, or the like) to perform the methods described in the embodiments of this application.
Persons of ordinary skill in the art may realize that units and algorithm steps of various examples described with reference to the embodiments disclosed in this specification can be implemented by using electronic hardware or a combination of computer software and electronic hardware. Whether the functions are performed by hardware or software depends on particular applications and design constraints of the technical solutions. Persons skilled in the art may use different methods to implement the described functions for each particular application, but it should not be considered that the implementation goes beyond the scope of this disclosure.
It may be clearly understood by persons skilled in the art that, for the purpose of convenient and brief description, for a detailed working process of the foregoing system, apparatus, and unit, reference may be made to a corresponding process in the foregoing method embodiments, and details are not described herein again.
In the embodiments provided in this application, it should be understood that the disclosed apparatus and method may be implemented in other manners. For example, the described apparatus embodiment is merely an example. For example, the unit division is merely logical function division and may be another division in actual implementation. For example, a plurality of units or components may be combined or integrated into another system, or some features may be ignored or may not be performed. In addition, the displayed or discussed mutual couplings or direct couplings or communication connections may be implemented through some interfaces. The indirect couplings or communication connections between the apparatuses or units may be implemented in electrical, mechanical, or other forms.
The units described as separate parts may or may not be physically separate, and parts displayed as units may or may not be physical units, may be located in one position, or may be distributed on a plurality of network elements. Some or all of the units may be selected based on actual requirements to achieve the objectives of the solutions of the embodiments.
In addition, functional units in the embodiments of this disclosure may be integrated into one processing unit, or each of the units may exist alone physically, or two or more units are integrated into one unit.
When implemented in a form of a software functional unit and sold or used as an independent product, the functions may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. Based on such an understanding, the technical solutions of this disclosure essentially, or the part contributing to the prior art, or some of the technical solutions may be implemented in a form of a software product. The computer software product is stored in a storage medium and includes several instructions for instructing a computer device (which may be a personal computer, a server, a network device, or the like) to perform all or some of the steps of the methods described in the embodiments of this disclosure. The foregoing storage medium includes any medium that can store program code, such as a USB flash drive, a removable hard disk, a ROM, a RAM, a magnetic disk, or an optical disc.
A person of ordinary skill in the art may understand that all or some of the processes of the methods in the embodiments may be implemented by a computer program controlling relevant hardware. The program may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. When the program runs, the processes of the method embodiments may be included. The storage medium may include a magnetic disk, an optical disc, a read-only memory (ROM), or a random access memory (RAM).
The foregoing describes the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the foregoing specific embodiments. The foregoing specific embodiments are merely illustrative rather than restrictive. As instructed by this application, persons of ordinary skill in the art may develop many other manners without departing from principles of this application and the protection scope of the claims, and all such manners fall within the protection scope of this application.
