Abstract

Presented herein are systems and methods for beam information feedback. A first communication node may receive, from a second communication node, a group of reference signals that are carried either on respective beams or on a same beam. The group of reference signals may be determined based on one or more time-frequency-code resources. The first communication node may determine, based on the group of reference signals, one or more beam indexes and channel state information. The first communication node may transmit, to the second communication node, a set including the one or more beam indexes and the channel state information.

Claims (21)

1. A communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a first communication node from a second communication node, a group of reference signals that are carried either on respective beams or on a same beam, wherein the group of reference signals are determined based on one or more time-frequency-code resources;

determining, by the first communication node based on the group of reference signals, one or more beam indexes and channel state information; and

transmitting, by the first communication node to the second communication node, a set including the one or more beam indexes and the channel state information,

wherein the set includes Q groups, Q being an integer greater than 1, each of the Q groups including at least one of: the channel state information or one of the one or more the beam indexes, and

wherein the Q groups correspond to the same receive beam or beamforming implementation mode.

2. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein one of the one or more beam indexes corresponds to a resource index.

3. The communication method of claim 1 , wherein transmission schemes corresponding to the Q groups having the same group information are the same.

4. A wireless communications apparatus comprising a processor configured to implement a method recited in claim 1 .

5. A wireless communications apparatus comprising a processor configured to implement a method recited in claim 2 .

6. A wireless communications apparatus comprising a processor configured to implement a method recited in claim 3 .

7. A communication method, comprising:

sending, by a second communication node to a first communication node, a group of reference signals that are carried either on respective beams or on a same beam, wherein the group of reference signals are determined based on one or more time-frequency-code resources; and

receiving, by the second communication node from the first communication node, a set including the one or more beam indexes and the channel state information determined by the first communication node based on the group of reference signals,

wherein the set includes Q groups, Q being an integer greater than 1, each of the Q groups including at least one of: the channel state information or one of the one or more the beam indexes, and

wherein the Q groups correspond to the same receive beam or beamforming implementation mode.

8. The communication method of 7 , wherein one of the one or more beam indexes corresponds to a resource index.

9. The communication method of 7 , wherein the transmission schemes corresponding to the Q groups having the same group information are the same.

10. A wireless communications apparatus comprising a processor configured to implement a method recited in claim 7 .

11. A wireless communications apparatus comprising a processor configured to implement a method recited in claim 8 .

12. A wireless communications apparatus comprising a processor configured to implement a method recited in claim 9 .
