Abstract

An electronic device for a base station in a wireless communication system including processing circuitry configured to indicate a user equipment to report a first type of channel statement information based on a reference signal for the first type of channel statement information, wherein the base station serves the user equipment in a way of SU-MIMO, make a determination that a second type of channel statement information is required in a case that the base station changes the way serving the user equipment from SU-MIMO to MU-MIMO, and notify the user equipment to report the second type of channel statement information based on a reference signal for the second type of channel statement information.

Claims (24)

1. An electronic device for a base station in a wireless communication system comprising:

a processing circuitry configured to

indicate a user equipment to report a first type of channel statement information (CSI), wherein the base station serves the user equipment in a way of single-user Multiple Input Multiple Output (SU-MIMO);

determine that a second type of channel statement information is required in a case that the base station changes the way serving the user equipment from SU-MIMO to multi-user Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO); and

notify the user equipment to report the second type of channel statement information,

wherein a granularity of the second type of channel statement information is higher than that of the first type of channel statement information.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second type of channel statement information comprises information about amplitude and phase.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second type of channel statement information includes any of pre-coding feedback based on linearly combined codebook, feedback based on covariance matrix, and hybrid CSI feedback.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the determination is made based on an orthogonality between a communication resource used by the user equipment and a communication resource used by another MU-MIMO user equipment.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the orthogonality is decided based on a scrambling code sequence of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port used by the user equipment and a scrambling code sequence of DMRS port used by the other MU-MIMO user equipment.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the determination is made based on a degradation degree of channel quality of a channel between the user equipment and the electronic device caused by the base station changing the way serving the user equipment from of SU-MIMO to MU-MIMO.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to indicate the user equipment to report the first type of channel statement information (CSI), based on a reference signal for the first type of channel statement information.

8. An electronic device for a user equipment in a wireless communication system comprising:

a processing circuitry configured to

receive, from a base station, an indication to report a first type of channel statement information (CSI);

report, to a base station, the first type of channel statement information;

receive, from the base station, a notification that a second type of channel statement information is required; and

report, to the base station, the second type of channel statement information, wherein a granularity of the second type of channel statement information is higher than that of the first type of channel statement information.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the second type of channel statement information comprises information about amplitude and phase.

10. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the second type of channel statement information includes any of pre-coding feedback based on linearly combined codebook, feedback based on covariance matrix, and hybrid CSI feedback.

11. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the determination is made based on an orthogonality between a communication resource used by the user equipment and a communication resource used by another MU-MIMO user equipment.

12. The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the orthogonality is decided based on a scrambling code sequence of demodulation reference signal (DMRS) port used by the user equipment and a scrambling code sequence of DMRS port used by the other MU-MIMO user equipment.

13. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the determination is made based on a degradation degree of channel quality of a channel between the user equipment and the electronic device caused by the base station changing the way serving the user equipment from of SU-MIMO to MU-MIMO.

14. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to receive, from the base station, the indication to report the first type of channel statement information (CSI) based on a reference signal for the first type of channel statement information.
