- the network device can determine the beam in different ways.
- step 5 if the terminal device reports option 1, the network device determines the effective beam in two cases in step 6:
- the network device can determine a group of beams, and the network device will Compare the quantized phase difference value of the two ports reported by the equipment with the phase difference of the two-port reference signal sent on each beam in the group of beams in step 4, and compare the quantized phase difference value reported by the terminal equipment and the network equipment on each side of the group. Which direction in the phase difference of the two ports when the reference signal is sent upwards is the closest, so that it can be estimated which direction in the corresponding group of directions is the effective sending direction.
- the network device can estimate an effective beam direction, and the multiple effective beam directions estimated according to the reference signals under different divisions may overlap.
- the beam is determined through the following three steps.
- the network equipment finds the division with the highest degree of isolation among multiple divisions.
- the highest degree of isolation means that if there are multiple effective paths between the terminal equipment and the network equipment, multiple beams covering multiple effective paths belong to the network equipment for one division different groups below.
- the network device For the reporting result under the hth division reported by the terminal device, the network device counts the number of reference signals G h whose weighted average amplitude value or energy value of the two ports of the reference signal in this division is greater than a preset threshold, which is equivalent to the The number of groups containing active beams under the subdivision. Since the number of effective beams in the entire channel environment is the same, when the beams are grouped, the best measurement results are obtained by dividing all the effective beams into different groups. Therefore , the one or more divisions with the largest G h value are defined as the division with the highest isolation degree.
- the division with the highest degree of isolation in a) includes multiple divisions. Under each division, a group of beams can be determined for each NZP-CSI-RS, and the network device will compare the phase difference of the two-port reference signal sent on each beam in the group of beams in step 4, and compare the terminal equipment.
- the quantized value of the reported phase difference is the closest to the phase difference of the two-port phase difference between the two ports when the network device sends the reference signal in each direction, so that the corresponding direction in the group of directions can be estimated as the effective sending direction.
- the error between the phase difference reported by the terminal equipment and the actual phase difference in the effective beam direction of the network equipment can also be obtained, and the error sum under each division can be accumulated and counted, so that a minimum error sum can be found among the multiple divisions with the highest isolation degree.
- the division of is the optimal division, and the multiple estimated effective beam directions corresponding to this division can be used as the effective beam directions determined by the network device. If the division with the highest isolation degree in a) has one division, the effective beam direction under this division is directly estimated.
- the network equipment estimates the gain of the effective beam direction. If the terminal equipment also reports the amplitude quantization value or energy quantization value of each reference signal, the gain of each effective beam direction output in b) can be estimated, so as to further select among these effective beam directions.

- Case 1 If the measurement result reported by the network device does not contain the amplitude information or energy information of the reference signal, according to the reference signal resource index reported by the terminal device, the network device can determine its associated codeword and a set of beams, and according to the report by the terminal device and the corresponding relationship between the codeword and the beam in step 4, the network device can determine one beam in the group of beams. Therefore, each time the terminal device reports a measurement result of a reference signal, the network device can estimate an effective beam direction, wherein the multiple effective beam directions estimated according to the reference signals under different divisions may overlap.
- the network device searches for the division with the highest isolation degree among the multiple divisions. For details, refer to the above b) to find the division with the highest isolation degree.
- the effective beam direction is then estimated with reference to Case 1 under the division with the highest degree of isolation. If the terminal device also reports the amplitude quantization value of each reference signal, the gain of each effective beam direction output in b) can be estimated, so as to further select among these effective beam directions.
- step 5 if the terminal device reports option 3, the network device determines the effective beam in two cases in step 6:
- Case 1 If the measurement result reported by the network device does not contain the amplitude information or energy information of the reference signal, the network device can determine a beam according to the codeword index reported by the terminal device and the correspondence between the codeword and the beam in step 4. Therefore, every time the terminal device reports a codeword index, the network device can estimate an effective beam direction, and the multiple effective beam directions estimated according to the reference signals under different divisions may overlap.
- Scenario 2 If the measurement result reported by the terminal device includes the amplitude information or energy information of the reference signal, the network device searches for the division with the highest isolation degree among multiple divisions. For details, see b) above to find the division with the highest isolation degree. The effective beam direction is then estimated with reference to Case 1 under the division with the highest degree of isolation. If the terminal device also reports the amplitude quantization value and/or energy quantization value of each reference signal, the gain of each effective beam direction output in b) can be estimated, so as to further select among these effective beam directions.
