Abstract

La présente demande concerne un procédé et un dispositif de mesure de canal. Un côté terminal reçoit un signal de référence précodé d'un côté réseau, le signal précodé correspondant à un ou plusieurs ports, puis le côté terminal effectue une mesure de canal d'après le signal de référence précodé et une première latence spécifique au dispositif terminal et acquiert un coefficient de superposition correspondant aux ports, la première latence pouvant être indiquée par le côté réseau et pouvant également être déterminée par le côté terminal lui-même. Pour que le côté réseau détermine un livre de codes employé, le côté terminal transmet des premières informations d'indication, les premières informations d'indication servant à indiquer le coefficient de superposition. Pendant la mesure du canal, la présente demande tient compte de la première latence spécifique aux dispositifs terminaux, tout en atténuant l'impact d'un décalage de latence provoqué par une erreur de synchronisation liaison montante-liaison descendante, réduit l'interférence entre plusieurs CSI-RS utilisateurs, augmente le taux de réutilisation de CSI-RS, et réduit le surdébit de CSI-RS.
