Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for CSI reporting mechanisms are provided. A user equipment (UE) apparatus includes a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver is configured to receive configuration information for a channel state information (CSI) reporting and receive configuration information for a plurality of precoding codebook parameters. The processor is operably connected to the transceiver, and configured to calculate, in response to receipt of the configuration information for the CSI reporting and the configuration information for the plurality of precoding codebook parameters, a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and a second PMI, wherein the first PMI includes one or two codebook indices. The transceiver is further configured to transmit the CSI reporting on an uplink channel, the CSI reporting including a channel quality indicator (CQI), a rank indicator (RI), and the calculated first and second PMIs.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver configured to receive configuration information for a channel state information (CSI) reporting and receive configuration information for a plurality of precoding codebook parameters, the plurality of precoding codebook parameters including at least a number of rows and columns of a two-dimensional dual-polarized port array having a predetermined number of ports; and
a processor operably connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to calculate, in response to receipt of the configuration information for the CSI reporting and the configuration information for the plurality of precoding codebook parameters including at least the number of rows and columns of the two-dimensional dual polarized port array, a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and a second PMI,
wherein the first PMI includes one codebook index when one of the number of rows and columns of the dual polarized port array equals one, and
wherein the first PMI includes two codebook indices when each of the number of rows and columns of the dual polarized port array is greater than one;
wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit the CSI reporting on an uplink channel, the CSI reporting including a channel quality indicator (CQI), a rank indicator (RI), and the calculated first and second PMIs.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the two codebook indices of the first PMI are reported with a same frequency granularity and jointly encoded into a bit sequence.

3. The UE of claim 1 , wherein a frequency granularity of a first codebook index of the first PMI is separately configured from that of a second codebook index of the first PMI for aperiodic CSI reporting.

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein a frequency granularity of the CQI is separately configured from that of the PMIs for aperiodic CSI reporting using two configuration parameters.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein a frequency granularity of a first of the one or two codebook indices of the first PMI is separately configured from that of a second of the one or two codebook indices of the first PMI for aperiodic CSI reporting using two configuration parameters.

6. The UE of claim 1 , wherein time granularity of the CQI is separately configured from that of the PMIs for periodic CSI reporting using two configuration parameters.

7. A base station (BS) comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor operably connected to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
generate a plurality of precoding codebook parameters, the plurality of precoding codebook parameters including at least a number of rows and columns of a two-dimensional dual-polarized port array having a predetermined number of ports;
cause the transceiver to transmit, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information for channel state information (CSI) reporting and the precoding codebook parameters, including at least the number of rows and columns of the two-dimensional dual polarized port array;
receive a CSI report from the UE generated responsive to the transmitted configuration information transmitted from the BS including a channel quality indicator (CQI), a rank indicator (RI), and codebook indices from a first and a second precoding matrix indicators (PMIs);
wherein the first PMI includes a codebook index when one of the number of rows and columns of the dual polarized port array equals one; and
wherein the first PMI includes two codebook indices when each of the number of rows and columns of the dual polarized port array is greater than one.

8. The BS of claim 7 , wherein the codebook indices of the first PMI within the CSI report generated by the UE and received at the BS are reported with a same frequency granularity and jointly encoded into a bit sequence.

9. The BS of claim 7 , wherein a frequency granularity of a first codebook index of the first PMI within the CSI report generated by the UE and received at the BS is separately configured from that of a second codebook index of the first PMI within the CSI report generated by the UE and received at the BS for aperiodic CSI reporting.

10. The BS of claim 7 , wherein a frequency granularity of the CQI within the CSI report generated by the UE and received at the BS is separately configured from that of the first PMI within the CSI report generated by the UE and received at the BS for aperiodic CSI reporting using two configuration parameters.

11. The BS of claim 7 , wherein a frequency granularity of a first codebook index of the first PMI within the CSI report generated by the UE and received at the BS is separately configured from that of a second codebook index of the first PMI within the CSI report generated by the UE and received at the BS for aperiodic CSI reporting using two configuration parameters.

12. A method for operating a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving, by the UE, configuration information for a channel state information (CSI) reporting;
receiving, by the UE, configuration information for a plurality of precoding codebook parameters, the plurality of precoding codebook parameters including at least a number of rows and columns of a two-dimensional dual-polarized port array having a predetermined number of ports;
in response to receipt of the configuration information for the CSI reporting and the configuration information for the plurality of precoding codebook parameters including at least the number of rows and columns of the two-dimensional dual polarized port array, calculating, by the UE, a first precoding matrix indicator (PMI) and a second PMI;
wherein the first PMI includes one codebook index when one of the number of rows and columns of the dual polarized port array equals one;
wherein the first PMI includes two codebook indices when each of the number of rows and columns of the dual polarized port array is greater than one; and

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the two codebook indices of the first PMI are reported with a same frequency granularity and jointly encoded into a bit sequence.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein a frequency granularity of a first codebook index of the first PMI is separately configured from that of a second codebook index of the first PMI for aperiodic CSI reporting.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein a frequency granularity of the CQI is separately configured from that of the PMI for aperiodic CSI reporting using two configuration parameters.

16. The method of claim 12 , wherein a frequency granularity of a first of the one or two codebook indices of the first PMI is separately configured from that of a second of the one or two codebook indices of the first PMI for aperiodic CSI reporting using two configuration parameters.
