Description

一种测量信道质量索引的方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种测量信道质量索引(Channel Quality Index,简称CQI)的方法及装置。
背景技术
长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称LTE)系统广泛采用了多输入多输出(Multiple Input and Multiple Output,简称MIMO)技术,在MIMO系统中,普遍采用预编码技术提高信号传输质量/速率,LTE系统在频分复用(Frequency Division Duplexing,简称FDD)模式下,终端根据接收到的基站发送的信道状态信息参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal,简称CSI-RS)确定下行信道信息,并向基站反馈,下行信道信息包括预编码矩阵索引(Precoding Matrix Index,PMI)、秩索引(Rank Index,简称RI)和CQI。目前,终端基于单用户MIMO(Single-User MIMO,简称SU-MIMO)的假设确定下行信道信息,当基站接收到多个终端发送的下行信道信息之后,若确定选择多个终端做多用户MIMO(Multi-User MIMO,简称MU-MIMO),为了降低多个终端之间的干扰,基站根据每个终端反馈的下行信道信息,采用预设算法(例如,迫零算法)重新为每个终端构造预编码矩阵、重新确定信道的秩(Rank)并为每个终端分配对应的CSI-RS端口,由于终端反馈的CQI是基于SU-MIMO的假设,在MU-MIMO场景中,该CQI与实际的下行信道质量并不匹配。
为了解决该问题,基站基于为终端重新构造的预编码矩阵,采用该预编码矩阵对CSI-RS进行预编码,并将预编码后的CSI-RS向该终端发送,该终端基于该CSI-RS重新测量CQI,并向基站反馈。 该情况下,基站根据该CSI-RS重新测量CQI时,需要测量每个CSI-RS端口对应的信道的信道质量(即需要根据接收到的每个CSI-RS端口对应的时频资源上的信息测量该CSI-RS端口对应的信道的信道质量),并将所有CSI-RS端口对应的信道的信道质量反馈给基站,而实际上基站只需要该终端对应的CSI-RS端口对应的信道的信道质量,因此,会造成了上行资源的浪费。
发明内容
本发明的实施例提供一种测量信道质量索引的方法及装置,用以降低终端的资源消耗。
为达到上述目的,本发明的实施例采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,提供一种测量CQI的方法,包括:
基站确定终端的资源号对应的每个时频资源上的目标CSI-RS,所述目标CSI-RS为经过预编码后的CSI-RS,所述时频资源为用于传输所述CSI-RS或所述目标CSI-RS的资源单位;
所述基站在所述资源号对应的每个时频资源上向所述终端发送该时频资源上的目标CSI-RS;
所述基站向所述终端发送用于指示所述终端的资源号的指示信息;
所述基站接收所述终端发送的用于指示信道质量的CQI。
可选的,所述基站向所述终端发送指示信息,包括:
所述基站在PDCCH上向所述终端发送所述指示信息,所述基站在不同子帧的PDCCH上向所述终端发送的所述指示信息指示的资源号相同或不同。
其中,由于基站在PDCCH上发送的信息终端可以快速确定,因 此,基站可以在每个子帧上发送指示信息,用于终端根据基站为该终端分配的资源号测量信道质量。
可选的,所述指示信息中指示的所述资源号的个数与第一Rank的数值相同,所述方法还包括:
所述基站接收所述终端发送的RI,所述RI为所述终端根据所述指示信息中指示的所述资源号对应的每个时频资源上接收到的信息测量第二Rank,并根据测量得到的第二Rank确定的RI;
所述基站根据所述RI确定所述第二Rank;
所述基站采用所述终端对应的预编码矩阵对向所述终端发送的数据流进行预编码,并在数据端口上发送所述数据流,所述数据端口个数与所述第一Rank的数值相同,所述数据流的层数与所述第二Rank的数值相同,所述第二Rank小于等于所述第一Rank,所述第一Rank为所述基站为所述终端确定的初始Rank。
由于Rank与CQI之间相关性高,终端在重新反馈CQI之后,若基站仍然根据第一Rank向该终端发送数据,可能会使得该终端无法正确的解码该数据,因此,终端根据目标信息确定第二Rank,并向基站反馈RI,基站最终将第二Rank确定为终端对应的Rank,从而保证了终端可以正确的解码数据。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。
为了使本领域技术人员能够更清楚地理解本发明实施例提供的技术方案,首先对与本申请相关的现有技术作简要说明。
在MIMO场景中,基站向多个终端中的每个终端发送该终端对应的CSI-RS,多个终端中的每个终端接收基站发送的CSI-RS,并基于SU-MIMO的假设根据该CSI-RS进行信道估计,将估计得到的PMI、初始RI(为了与下文中的RI作区分,此处称为初始RI)和初始CQI(为了与下文中的CQI作区分,此处称为初始CQI)向基站反馈,基站接收到多个终端发送的PMI、初始RI和初始CQI之后,基于MIMO系统的吞吐量最大或干扰程度最小为原则确定是否将多个终端中的N个终端组成MU-MIMO,若是,基站以消除或减小N个终端之间的干扰为原则,根据N个终端反馈的PMI、初始RI和初始CQI重新为N个终端中的每个终端确定该终端对应的预编码矩阵和Rank,该情况下,该Rank即下文中的第一Rank,本发明实施例提供的方法可以应用在该场景下,下文中也均以该方法应用在该场景下为例进行说明,然而需要说明的是,本发明实施例提供的方法也可以应用在其他场景中,例如,基站确定不组成MU-MIMO时,该方法还是可以应用在基站和终端之间。因此,本发明实施例中的终端可以为组成MU-MIMO的多个终端中的任意一个终端,也可以为其他终端。
本发明实施例提供的方法主要应用在LTE以及LTE-advanced系统,主要应用在下行MIMO场景。
本发明实施例提供一种测量CQI的方法,如图1所示,该方法包括:
101、基站确定终端的资源号对应的每个时频资源上的目标CSI-RS。
其中,所述目标CSI-RS为经过预编码后的CSI-RS,所述时频资源为用于传输所述CSI-RS或所述目标CSI-RS的资源单位。
具体的,目标CSI-RS可以为经过终端对应的预编码矩阵对资源号对应的CSI-RS进行预编码后的CSI-RS,终端对应的预编码矩阵可以由基站确定,资源号对应的CSI-RS可以为预设的CSI-RS,也可以为基站通过其他方式确定的CSI-RS,但是需要说明的是,该CSI-RS是基站与终端公知的。
可选的,所述资源号为目标CSI-RS端口号、正交矩阵的行号或正交矩阵的列号,N个资源单位和一个长度为N的码的组合对应一个目标CSI-RS端口或1个资源单位对应一个目标CSI-RS端口,N为大于等于2的整数。
目标CSI-RS端口号为目标CSI-RS端口的编号,目标CSI-RS端口的编号用于区分不同的目标CSI-RS端口。
其中,由于N个资源单位和一个长度为N的码的组合对应一个目标CSI-RS端口,因此,当资源号为目标CSI-RS端口号时,资源号既可以指示时域资源,也可以指示码域资源;当资源号为正交矩阵的行(或列)号时,基站可以为不同的资源号预设不同的时频资源,或者,不同的资源号对应的时频资源为相同的时域资源。
需要说明的是,如图2所示,LTE以及LTE-advanced系统的空 中接口资源分配的基本单位是物理资源块(Physical Resource Block,简称PRB),1个PRB在频域上包括12个连续的子载波,在时域上包括7个连续的正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,简称OFDM)符号周期,1个OFDM符号周期和一个子载波组成的资源称为1个资源单位(Resource Element,简称RE),在一个PRB中包括的多个RE中,有些RE用于传输数据,有些RE用于传输参考信号,例如,图2中所示的资源单位1(下文中简称RE1)、资源单位2(下文中简称RE2)、资源单位3(下文中简称RE3)和资源单位4(下文中简称RE4)均用于传输参考信号。
资源号可以为目标CSI-RS端口号。比如在LTE和LTE Advance中,一个CSI-RS端口可以占用2个RE(或4个RE),则资源号可以为长度为2(或4)的正交码和2个(或4个)RE的组合,目标CSI-RS端口同理。例如,基于图2所述的示例,若基站有4个目标CSI-RS端口,则编号为1的目标CSI-RS端口可以对应RE1和RE2,采用预定义的一组正交码中的编号为a1的正交码;编号为2的目标CSI-RS端口可以对应RE1和RE2,采用预定义的一组正交码中的编号为a2的正交码;编号为3的目标CSI-RS端口可以对应RE3和RE4,采用预定义的一组正交码中的编号为a1的正交码;编号为4的目标CSI-RS端口可以对应RE3和RE4,采用预定义的一组正交码中的编号为a2的正交码。
资源号还可以为正交矩阵的行(或列)号,当资源号为正交矩阵的行(或列)号,正交矩阵的任意两行(或列)元素正交。该情况下,正交矩阵的多行(或列)元素可以对应相同的时频资源,也可以对正交矩阵的某行(或列)元素对应的时频资源进行预设,基于图2所示,若正交矩阵的第一列包括4个元素,则正交矩阵的第一列对应的时频资源可以为RE1、RE2、RE3和RE4,正交矩阵的第 二列包括4个元素,且正交矩阵的第二列对应的时频资源同样为RE1、RE2、RE3和RE4。
另外,资源号可以为资源单位号、预定义的一组正交码中正交码的码号、预定义的正交矩阵的行号或列号,还可以为资源单位与预定义的一组正交码中正交码的码号和/或预定义的正交矩阵的行(或列)号的组合。
资源号还可以为资源单位号,例如,资源号可以为资源单位1、资源单位2、资源单位3和资源单位4中的一个或多个资源单位的资源单位号,资源单位号用于区别不同的资源单位。
资源号还可以为预定义的一组正交码中的正交码的码号,该情况下,一组正交码中的多个正交码可以对应相同的时频资源,也可以将具有某个码号的正交码对应的时频资源进行预设,基于图2所述的示例,若具有码号A的一个正交码包括4个元素,则具有码号A的正交码对应的时频资源可以为RE1、RE2、RE3和RE4,具有码号B的正交码包括4个元素,其对应的时频资源也可以为RE1、RE2、RE3和RE4。
需要说明的是,资源号对应的时频资源即资源号能够指示的时频资源,终端的资源号可以由基站根据资源池分配得到,终端和基站中均配置有该资源池。
可选的,所述资源号为资源池中包括的R个资源的资源号,一个资源对应一个资源号,R为大于等于2的整数,所述资源池为所述基站定义的资源池,基站可以通过无线资源控制(Radio Resource Control,简称RRC)信令向所述终端发送所述资源池,相应的,终端可以通过RRC信令接收该资源池。
具体的,基站在定义资源池之后,可以通过静态/半静态信令(例 如,RRC信令)向终端指示该资源池,基站在该资源池中的资源号对应的时频资源上不发送数据,终端在接收到该资源池之后,认为该资源池中的资源号被全部分配给一个或多个终端,以便终端确定干扰。
可选的,步骤101在具体实现时可以包括:所述基站根据所述资源号、所述资源号对应的CSI-RS以及所述预编码矩阵确定所述资源号对应的每个时频资源上发送的目标CSI-RS。
可选的,如图3所示,所述基站根据所述资源号、所述资源号对应的CSI-RS以及所述预编码矩阵确定所述资源号对应的每个时频资源上发送的目标CSI-RS的过程具体可以通过以下步骤301-303实现:
301、所述基站确定所述终端的第一Rank和预编码矩阵。
其中,当该终端为组成MU-MIMO的多个终端中的终端时,基站确定的组成MU-MIMO的多个终端中的每个终端对应的第一Rank和预编码矩阵能够使得该多个终端之间的干扰较小。
302、所述基站根据所述第一Rank为所述终端分配资源号,所述资源号的个数与所述第一Rank的数值相同。
303、所述基站采用所述资源号对应的码对所述资源号对应的CSI-RS扩频,并采用所述预编码矩阵对扩频后得到的每个CSI-RS进行预编码得到所述资源号对应的每个时频资源上发送的目标CSI-RS。
其中,当所述资源号为目标CSI-RS端口号时,所述资源号对应的码为所述目标CSI-RS端口对应的长度为N的码,当所述资源号为正交矩阵的行号时,所述资源号对应的码为该行号对应的行元素,当所述资源号为正交矩阵的列号时,所述资源号对应的码为该列号 对应的列元素。
具体的,基站在不同的PRB上传输的CSI-RS可以为CSI-RS序列中的不同的符号或相同的符号。
示例1,终端对应的第一Rank为1,则若基站为终端分配的目标CSI-RS端口号为1,基于图2所述的示例,目标CSI-RS端口1对应2个资源单位,2个资源单位为RE1和RE2,则目标CSI-RS端口1也对应一个长度为2的码,则采用该长度为2的码对资源号对应的CSI-RS进行扩频之后,RE1上的CSI-RS为CSI-RS1,RE2上的CSI-RS为CSI-RS2,则若基站共有2个天线端口、且该终端对应的预编码矩阵为
Figure PCTCN2016076116-appb-000001
则可以将预编码矩阵与RE1上的参考信号CSI-RS1分别相乘(相乘后的结果即RE1上的目标CSI-RS),基站通过天线端口1和天线端口2在RE1上传输相乘后的结果;将预编码矩阵与RE2上的参考信号CSI-RS2分别相乘(相乘后的结果即RE2上的目标CSI-RS),基站通过天线端口1和天线端口2在RE2上传输相乘后的结果。由于CSI-RS1和CSI-RS2均是根据CSI-RS扩频后得到的,因此,CSI-RS1和CSI-RS2实质上是CSI-RS的不同形式,由此可知,目标CSI-RS即资源号对应的CSI-RS与预编码矩阵相乘的结果,基站在RE1上发送的数据和在RE2上发送的数据实质上是目标CSI-RS的不同形式。
其中,为了便于对全文进行理解,示例1仅仅示例性的示出了一种资源号为目标CSI-RS端口号时确定资源号对应的目标CSI-RS的过程,当资源号为正交矩阵的行号或列号时,可以采用现有技术中的相关方法确定目标CSI-RS。
102、所述基站在所述资源号对应的每个时频资源上向所述终端发送该时频资源上的目标CSI-RS。
具体的,基于示例1,若基站有两个天线端口,基站的天线端 口1在RE1上发送H1·CSI-RS1,在RE2上发送H1·CSI-RS2,基站的天线端口2在RE1上发送H2·CSI-RS1,在RE2上发送H2·CSI-RS2。
103、所述基站向所述终端发送指示信息,所述指示信息用于向所述终端指示所述资源号。
可选的,步骤103在具体实现时,包括:所述基站在物理下行控制信道(Physical Downlink Control Channel,简称PDCCH)上向所述终端发送所述指示信息,所述基站在不同子帧的PDCCH上向所述终端发送的所述指示信息指示的资源号相同或不同。
其中,由于基站在PDCCH上发送的信息终端可以快速确定,因此,基站可以在每个子帧上发送指示信息,用于终端根据基站为该终端分配的资源号测量信道质量。
104、终端接收基站在各个时频资源上发送的信息。
105、所述终端接收所述基站发送的指示信息。
可选的,步骤105在具体实现时,包括:所述终端在PDCCH上接收所述基站发送的所述指示信息,所述终端在不同子帧的PDCCH上接收到的所述基站发送的所述指示信息指示的资源号相同或不同。
106、所述终端根据所述指示信息确定所述终端的资源号。
107、所述终端根据所述终端的资源号确定所述信息中的目标信息,所述目标信息为接收到的所述基站在所述终端的资源号对应的时频资源上向所述终端发送的信息。
具体的,基于示例1,目标信息包括在RE1上接收到的信息和在RE2上接收到的信息,其中,在RE1上接收到的信息为被信道污染过的H1·CSI-RS1和H2·CSI-RS1的叠加,在RE2上接收到的信息为被信道污染过的H1·CSI-RS2和H2·CSI-RS2的叠加。
可选的,步骤107在具体实现时,包括:所述终端确定在所述终端的资源号对应的时频资源上接收到的信息;所述终端采用所述终端的资源号对应的码对在所述终端的资源号对应的时频资源上接收到的信息进行解扩得到所述目标信息。
其中,有关资源号对应的码的描述可参见上文。
需要说明的是,由于基站在确定在终端的资源号对应的每个时频资源上发送的目标CSI-RS的过程中,对终端的资源号对应的CSI-RS进行了扩频,因此,终端在接收到终端的资源号对应的时频资源上的信息之后,需要对该信息进行解扩得到目标信息。
108、所述终端根据所述目标信息测量信道质量,并根据测得的信道质量确定CQI。
终端根据目标信息测量CQI的过程中,需要确定干扰,具体的,终端可以在各个时频资源上发送的信息中减去目标信息,将剩余的信息认为是MU-MIMO中除自身之外的其他终端和邻小区用户干扰的总和。
109、所述终端向所述基站发送所述CQI。
110、所述基站接收所述终端发送的CQI。
其中,CQI用于指示信道质量。
本发明实施例提供的方法,基站动态的向终端指示为该终端分配的资源号,终端接收到基站指示的资源号后,根据该资源号在各个时频资源上接收到的信息中确定目标信息,根据目标信息测量CQI并向基站反馈,而不需要根据在每个时频资源上接收到的信息测量CQI后,将测量到的全部CQI向基站反馈,大大降低了终端的资源消耗。
可选的,在步骤110之后,所述方法还包括:
11)基站根据CQI确定终端对应的调制编码策略,并向终端发送调制编码策略,终端接收基站发送的调制编码策略;
12)终端根据调制编码策略确定用于对基站发送的数据进行解调解码的解调解码策略。
具体的,根据CQI确定调制编码策略的方法可以参见现有技术。
其中,基站向终端发送的调制编码策略可以通过控制信令发送,基站发送的数据为经过该调制编码策略调制编码后的数据。
可选的,所述基站在PDCCH上向所述终端发送所述指示信息,包括:所述基站向所述终端发送上行调度指示信息,所述上行调度指示信息包括所述指示信息;或者,所述基站向所述终端发送下行调度指示信息,所述下行调度指示信息包括所述指示信息。
相应的,所述终端在PDCCH上接收所述基站发送的所述指示信息,包括:所述终端接收所述基站发送的上行调度指示信息,所述上行调度指示信息包括所述指示信息;或者,所述终端接收所述基站发送的下行调度指示信息,所述下行调度指示信息包括所述指示信息。
可选的,当下行调度指示信息包括指示信息时,该方法还包括:
21)所述基站在第M个子帧上向所述终端发送所述指示信息、所述目标CSI-RS以及下行数据资源分配方式,用于所述终端测量所述基站在第M+K个子帧上发送的数据的信道质量,M、K均为大于等于1的整数;
22)所述基站在第M+K个子帧上向所述终端发送所述终端对应的调制编码策略,所述基站在第M个子帧上为所述目标CSI-RS分配的物理资源块PRB的个数和位置与所述基站在第M+K个子帧上发送的数据信道所占的PRB的个数和位置相同;
23)所述终端根据接收到的所述基站发送的第M个子帧测量所述基站在第M+K个子帧上发送的数据的信道质量。
该可选的方法,使得目标CSI-RS的带宽和数据的带宽是一致的,UE可以在相应的带宽内测量目标CSI-RS和反馈CQI,从而减小了上行反馈的资源消耗。
现有技术中的下行调度指示信息中将数据资源分配方式和调制编码策略在控制信道中一起下发。在本发明实施例中,当基站将指示信息承载在下行调度指示信息中时,基站根据为一个终端分配的资源号可以确定向该终端发送参考信号的时频资源位置,而调制编码策略需要根据CQI确定。因此,可以在一个子帧中的PDCCH上向该终端发送数据资源分配方式和指示信息,待确定该终端的调制编码策略后,在另一个子帧的PDCCH上向该终端发送调制编码策略。
可选的,所述方法还包括:所述基站向所述终端发送触发信息,所述触发信息用于触发所述终端根据在所述指示信息中指示的所述资源号对应的每个时频资源上接收到的信息测量信道质量和/或第二Rank,所述终端接收所述基站发送的触发信息;所述终端根据所述触发信息确定测量信道质量和/或第二Rank。关于第二Rank的描述可参见下文。
需要说明的是,指示信息和触发信息也可以指示信息(或触发信息)包含在上行调度指示信息中,触发信息(或指示信息)包含在下行调度指示信息中。当然,指示信息和触发信息也可以包含在同一消息中。
可选的,所述资源号为资源池中包括的R个资源的资源号,所述指示信息包括R个比特位,所述R个比特位中的第r个比特位用于指示所述R个资源中的第r个资源是否分配给所述终端,R为大 于等于2的整数,r为大于等于1小于等于R的整数;或者,所述指示信息包括3个比特位,所述3个比特位的值不同时,所述指示信息中指示的资源号不同;或者,所述指示信息包括4个比特位,所述4个比特位的值不同时,所述指示信息中指示的资源号不同。
可选的,资源号为资源池中包括的R个资源的资源号,步骤106在具体实现时包括:
所述终端根据所述指示信息中包括的R个比特位确定所述终端的资源号,所述R个比特位中的第r个比特位用于指示所述R个资源中的第r个资源是否分配给所述终端,R为大于等于2的整数,r为大于等于1小于等于R的整数;或者,所述终端根据所述指示信息中包括的3个比特位的值确定所述终端的资源号;或者,所述终端根据所述指示信息中包括的4个比特位的值确定所述终端的资源号。
示例性的,若基站有4个目标CSI-RS端口时,可以通过4个比特位的值指示这4个目标CSI-RS端口,比特位i(i为大于等于0小于等于3的整数)指示第i个目标CSI-RS端口,则0001代表目标CSI-RS端口0,0010代表目标CSI-RS端口1,1010代表目标CSI-RS端口3和目标CSI-RS端口1,若终端确定指示信息中包括的4个比特位为0101,则终端确定该终端的资源号为目标CSI-RS端口0和目标CSI-RS端口2。
需要说明的是,在该示例中,比特位的值为1时表示基站将该比特位对应的资源分配给终端,在实际实现时,也可以比特位的值为0时表示基站将该比特位对应的资源分配给终端。另外,也可以R个比特位中的一个比特位用于指示R个资源中的一个资源是否分配给终端,具体哪个比特位用于指示哪个资源可以由基站(或基站和终端)确定。
示例性的,若基站有4个目标CSI-RS端口时,可以通过3个比特位的值指示这4个目标CSI-RS端口,3个比特位的值不同时,对应的目标CSI-RS端口号不同,具体的对应关系可参见表1,其中,表1中的资源号一栏的0、1、2和3即4个目标CSI-RS端口的端口号,一个端口号对应一个目标CSI-RS端口。

示例性的,若基站有8个目标CSI-RS端口时,可以通过4个比特位的值指示这8个目标CSI-RS端口,其中4个比特位的值不同时,对应的目标CSI-RS端口号不同,具体的对应关系可参见表2,其中,表2中的资源号一栏的0-7的数字即8个目标CSI-RS端口的端口号,一个端口号对应一个目标CSI-RS端口。

可选的,该方法还包括:
31)所述终端确定所述资源号的个数为第一Rank的值,所述第一Rank为所述基站为所述终端确定的初始Rank;
32)所述终端根据所述目标信息和所述第一Rank测量第二Rank,并根据测得的所述第二Rank确定RI,所述RI对应的第二Rank小于等于所述第一Rank;
33)所述终端向所述基站发送所述RI;
34)所述基站接收所述终端发送的RI;
35)所述基站根据所述RI确定所述第二Rank;
36)所述基站采用所述终端对应的预编码矩阵对向所述终端发送的数据流进行预编码,并在数据端口上发送所述数据流,所述数据端口个数与所述第一Rank的数值相同,所述数据流的层数与所述第二Rank的数值相同,所述第二Rank小于等于所述第一Rank。
其中,数据端口是指在天线端口上加预编码矩阵后的端口,数据端口用于发送数据,针对同一终端来说,该终端的目标CSI-RS端口采用的预编码矩阵与该天线端口上加的预编码矩阵为同一预编码矩阵。
在上述方法中,若终端为组成MU-MIMO终端中的多个终端中的终端时,由于基站确定将多个终端组成MU-MIMO后,为每个终端重新确定了预编码矩阵,从而使得终端在组成MU-MIMO前上报的CQI不准确,因此,终端需要让每个终端重新反馈CQI,而由于Rank与CQI之间相关性高,CQI变化之后,若基站仍然根据第一Rank向该终端发送数据,可能会使得该终端无法正确的解码该数据,因此,本发明实施例中,还使得终端根据目标信息确定第二Rank,并向基站反馈RI,基站最终将第二Rank确定为终端对应的Rank,从而保证了终端可以正确的解码该数据,然而,基站在向终端发送数据流时,仍然采用个数与第一Rank的数值相同的数据端口发送数据,并且数据端口采用的预编码矩阵与目标CSI-RS端口采用的预编码矩阵相同,这样可以保证多个终端之间的干扰的稳定性。
具体的,终端可以根据指示信息中指示的资源号的个数确定第一RI,资源号的个数为多少,第一RI的数值即为多少。
该情况下,终端根据目标信息测量第二Rank时,当第一Rank的值为1(也就是指示信息中指示的资源号个数为1)时,由于终端对应的Rank最小为1,因此,终端在接收到指示信息之后,终端可以根据目标信息只确定CQI,不重新确定第二Rank;当第一Rank的值大于1(也就是指示信息中指示的资源号个数大于1)时,终端在接收到指示信息之后,可以以第一Rank的值为上限,依次确定Rank为不同的值(Rank的取值为大于等于1的整数)时的CQI,最终选择能够使得吞吐率最大时的Rank作为第二Rank,将第二Rank 对应的RI和CQI向基站反馈。
以下在多种场景下,对终端确定RI对应的第二Rank及CQI的方法作简要说明:
场景1:基站给终端分配的资源号个数为2,则终端分别计算Rank=2和Rank=1时的CQI,终端比较Rank=2时和Rank=1时所测得的吞吐率,将吞吐率最大的Rank(即第二Rank),以及该Rank所对应的RI和CQI上报给基站。

终端计算Rank=4时的CQI时,假设基站为终端分配了两个数据流,其中第1个数据流分别在第1个数据端口和第2个数据端口上传输,第2个数据流在第3个数据端口和第4个数据端口上传输,则基站在每个数据端口上发送的数据为:
