Abstract

A method and apparatus for channel state information feedback and a storage medium are provided according to the present disclosure. The method includes: performing by a terminal channel measurement according to a reference signal; selecting M subbands from K subbands of a CSI reporting band, and reporting to a base station the M subbands' Relative Power Indicator (RPI) and Phase Indicator (PI) of a weighted coefficient associated with a precoding codebook index, where M and K are integers greater than or equal to 1, M<K; each subband is a set of R resource blocks RB, where R is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

Claims (39)

1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

performing, by a terminal device, a channel measurement based on a Channel State Information (CSI) reference signal from a base station; and

configuring, by the terminal device, a CSI feedback report based on the channel measurement as one of a wideband feedback or a subband feedback according to a configuration from the base station, wherein the CSI feedback report includes a phase coefficient indicator and an amplitude coefficient indicator that are associated with a precoding codebook index indicating a precoding codebook that is a linear combination of a set of vectors, and wherein, in response to the CSI feedback report being configured as a subband feedback, the CSI feedback report includes information of M subbands selected from K subbands of a Channel State Information (CSI) reporting band, wherein M and K are integers greater than or equal to 1, wherein M<K, and wherein the M subbands are in a comb-shaped distribution in the K subbands; and

transmitting, by the terminal device, the CSI feedback report to the base station.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the M subbands are selected from the K subbands by:

dividing the K subbands evenly into one or more subband sets; and

selecting one subband from each of the one or more subband sets.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase coefficient indicator is associated with a weighted coefficient used in the linear combination of the set of vectors.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the phase coefficient indicator and the amplitude coefficient are reported as a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) in the CSI feedback report.

5. A method for wireless communication, comprising:

receiving, by a base station, a Channel State Information (CSI) feedback report from a terminal device based on a channel measurement,

wherein the CSI feedback report includes a phase coefficient indicator and an amplitude coefficient indicator that are associated with a precoding codebook index indicating a precoding codebook that is a linear combination of a set of vectors, wherein the CSI feedback report corresponds to a wideband feedback or a subband feedback based on a configuration from the base station, and wherein, in response to the CSI feedback report being configured as a subband feedback, the CSI feedback report includes information of M subbands selected from K subbands of a Channel State Information (CSI) reporting band,

wherein M and K are integers greater than or equal to 1, wherein M<K, and wherein the M subbands are in a comb-shaped distribution in the K subbands.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the M subbands are selected from the K subbands by:

dividing the K subbands evenly into one or more subband sets; and

selecting one subband from each of the one or more subband sets.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the phase coefficient indicator is associated with a weighted coefficient used in the linear combination of the set of vectors.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein phase coefficient indicator and the amplitude coefficient are reported as a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) in the CSI feedback report.

9. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising a processor that is configured to:

perform a channel measurement based on a Channel State Information (CSI) reference signal from a base station; and

configure a CSI feedback report based on the channel measurement as one of a wideband feedback or a subband feedback according to a configuration from the base station, wherein the CSI feedback report includes a phase coefficient indicator and an amplitude coefficient indicator that are associated with a precoding codebook index indicating a precoding codebook that is a linear combination of a set of vectors, and

wherein, in response to the CSI feedback report being configured as a subband feedback, the CSI feedback report includes information of M subbands selected from K subbands of a Channel State Information (CSI) reporting band, wherein M and K are integers greater than or equal to 1,

wherein M<K, and wherein the M subbands are in a comb-shaped distribution in the K subbands; and

transmit the CSI feedback report to the base station.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the M subbands are selected from the K subbands by:

dividing the K subbands evenly into one or more subband sets; and

selecting one subband from each of the one or more subband sets.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the phase coefficient indicator is associated with a weighted coefficient used in the linear combination of the set of vectors.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the phase coefficient indicator and the amplitude coefficient are reported a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) in the CSI feedback report.

13. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising a processor that is configured to:

receive a Channel State Information (CSI) feedback report from a terminal device based on a channel measurement,

wherein the CSI feedback report includes a phase coefficient indicator and an amplitude coefficient indicator that are associated with a precoding codebook index indicating a precoding codebook that is a linear combination of a set of vectors, wherein the CSI feedback report corresponds to a wideband feedback or a subband feedback, and

wherein, in response to the CSI feedback report being configured as a subband feedback, the CSI feedback report includes information of M subbands selected from K subbands of a Channel State Information (CSI) reporting band, wherein M and K are integers greater than or equal to 1,

wherein M<K, and wherein the M subbands are in a comb-shaped distribution in the K subbands.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the M subbands are selected from the K subbands by:

dividing the K subbands evenly into one or more subband sets; and

selecting one subband from each of the one or more subband sets.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the phase coefficient indicator is associated with a weighted coefficient used in the linear combination of the set of vectors.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein phase coefficient indicator and the amplitude coefficient are reported as a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) in the CSI feedback report.
