Abstract
Description
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种智能超表面的控制方法及装置。The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a control method and device for an intelligent metasurface.
智能超表面(reconfigurable intelligence surface,RIS),也叫做“可重配智能表面”,或者“智能反射表面”,可以反射或折射障碍物周围的射频(RF)能量,因此,可以灵活部署在无线通信传播环境中以创建信源和目标之间的视距无线传输(line of sight,LoS)的传播路径也即无线信道。Reconfigurable intelligence surface (RIS), also called "reconfigurable smart surface" or "smart reflective surface", can reflect or refract radio frequency (RF) energy around obstacles. Therefore, it can be flexibly deployed in wireless communication propagation environments to create a line of sight (LoS) propagation path, i.e., a wireless channel, between the source and the target.
相关技术中,RIS包含多个阵子,信源例如gNB(5G基站)可以通过指示RIS中各阵子的相位权值、开启数量等配置信息,控制RIS所反射或者所折射的电磁波的频率、相位、极化等特征,从而重塑无线信道以用于数据传输。信源与RIS之间以空口进行通信。基于此,信源指示配置信息以控制RIS进行阵子的配置调整。例如,基站通过下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)的形式指示RIS中各阵子的相位权值。In the related art, RIS includes multiple arrays. The information source, such as gNB (5G base station), can control the frequency, phase, polarization and other characteristics of the electromagnetic waves reflected or refracted by RIS by indicating the phase weights, number of open and other configuration information of each array in RIS, thereby reshaping the wireless channel for data transmission. The information source and RIS communicate via the air interface. Based on this, the information source indicates the configuration information to control RIS to adjust the configuration of the array. For example, the base station indicates the phase weights of each array in RIS in the form of downlink control information (DCI).
但是,DCI的长度有限,通常只有7位(bit),可以支持对128个阵子组成的RIS的控制。而在具体应用中,大规模的RIS阵列,比如1024个及以上的阵子组成的RIS被广泛应用以获得更高的频谱效率(spectral efficiency,SE)等增益。这样,上述以DCI的形式控制RIS的阵列容易导致指示信息不足以控制阵子的情况,引起频谱效率降低造成的通信质量下降问题。However, the length of DCI is limited, usually only 7 bits, which can support the control of RIS composed of 128 arrays. In specific applications, large-scale RIS arrays, such as RIS composed of 1024 or more arrays, are widely used to obtain higher spectral efficiency (SE) and other gains. In this way, the above-mentioned arrays that control RIS in the form of DCI are prone to the situation where the indication information is insufficient to control the arrays, causing the problem of communication quality degradation caused by reduced spectral efficiency.

为了便于理解本申请实施例,首先对本申请实施例所涉及的一些背景技术进行介绍:In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, some background technologies involved in the embodiments of the present application are first introduced:
示例性的,图1为RIS的工作方式示例图。如图1所示,RIS作为一种新型的网络设备,可以安装在大型平面上(例如室内的墙壁或天花板、室外的建筑物或标志),与未借助RIS的直接连接相比,可以不经过障碍物,而是反射障碍物周围的射频(Radio Frequency,RF)能量,并在通信源和目标之间创建虚拟视线(LoS)传播路径。在具体应用中,可以通过改变RIS中一个或多个阵子的相位权值来改变反射波束的方向。由于RIS没有与gNB(5G基站)相连接,因此,RIS需要gNB通过空口来指示其阵子的配置例如相位调节。举例而言,指示方式可以有两种:第一种是指示RIS波束所对应的码本,即在预定义的波束中进行指示,开销较小。第二种是指示RIS阵子的权值,即指示RIS每个阵子上的相位权值,由于RIS中阵子的个数较大,开销较大。For example, FIG1 is a diagram showing the working mode of RIS. As shown in FIG1, RIS, as a new type of network equipment, can be installed on a large plane (such as a wall or ceiling indoors, a building or a sign outdoors). Compared with a direct connection without the aid of RIS, RIS can reflect the radio frequency (RF) energy around the obstacle without passing through obstacles, and create a virtual line of sight (LoS) propagation path between the communication source and the target. In a specific application, the direction of the reflected beam can be changed by changing the phase weight of one or more arrays in RIS. Since RIS is not connected to gNB (5G base station), RIS requires gNB to indicate the configuration of its array, such as phase adjustment, through the air interface. For example, there are two ways of indication: the first is to indicate the codebook corresponding to the RIS beam, that is, to indicate in a predefined beam, with low overhead. The second is to indicate the weight of the RIS array, that is, to indicate the phase weight on each array of RIS. Since the number of arrays in RIS is large, the overhead is large.
相关技术中,类似于的RIS的NCR(Network controlled Repeater,网络控制中继器)NCR采用波束指示和时间绑定的DCI(Downlink Control Information,下行控制信息)对NCR的波束进行控制。示例性的,该DCI可以包括indicate:{beam1,time slot1},…,{beam xx,time slot xx}即波束指示为波束beam1的发射时段为time slot1,…,波束beam xx的发射时段为time slot xx。DL(Downlink,下行)反射,UL(uplink,上行)反射。由于DCI的长度有限只有7bit,因此现有NCR的标准只支持128波束的DCI指示用于控制波束。In the related art, NCR (Network controlled Repeater) similar to RIS uses beam indication and time-bound DCI (Downlink Control Information) to control the beam of NCR. Exemplarily, the DCI may include indicate: {beam1, time slot1}, ..., {beam xx, time slot xx}, that is, the beam indication is that the transmission period of beam beam1 is time slot1, ..., and the transmission period of beam beam xx is time slot xx. DL (Downlink) reflection, UL (uplink) reflection. Since the length of DCI is limited to only 7 bits, the existing NCR standard only supports DCI indication of 128 beams for controlling beams.
示例性的,图2为RIS中阵子的不同相位权值下的平均谱效率示意图。如图2所示,现有128波束对应的配置指示,对于小阵列的RIS而言可能是够用的,但是当RIS的阵列变大时,波束的配置指示可能不够用,性能增益会变差。具体的,使用RIS阵子的理想权值(如KR算法得到的相位权值)时RIS的平均谱效率也就是平均频谱效率是最好的,其次是使用1024波束的情况下,而当使用128波束时,RIS的增益只有5%。可见使用现有码本的指示机制受限于PDCCH(physical downlink control channel,物理下行控制信道)的资源,性能损失较大,也就是说使用PDCCH对RIS进行的控制性能损失较大,控制不够有效,通信质量不佳。其中,MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output)是指在无线通信领域使用多天线发送和接收信号的技术。KR(kruskal)算法是一种用于寻求最优解的贪心算法。频谱效率(Spectral Efficiency,SE)简称谱效,也称系统容量、频带利用率。该指标用来衡量系统的有效性,描述了能够提供多少容量。它定义为系统传输的有效信息速率R除以通信信道带宽B,即单位带宽传输频道上每秒可传输的比特数,代表了系统对频谱资源的利用效率,单位是bit/s/Hz。For example, FIG2 is a schematic diagram of the average spectral efficiency under different phase weights of the array in RIS. As shown in FIG2, the configuration instructions corresponding to the existing 128 beams may be sufficient for a small array RIS, but when the array of RIS becomes larger, the configuration instructions of the beams may not be sufficient, and the performance gain will deteriorate. Specifically, the average spectral efficiency of RIS is the best when the ideal weights of the RIS array (such as the phase weights obtained by the KR algorithm), followed by the case of using 1024 beams, and when using 128 beams, the gain of RIS is only 5%. It can be seen that the indication mechanism using the existing codebook is limited by the resources of PDCCH (physical downlink control channel, physical downlink control channel), and the performance loss is large, that is, the control performance of RIS using PDCCH is large, the control is not effective enough, and the communication quality is poor. Among them, MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) refers to the technology of using multiple antennas to send and receive signals in the field of wireless communication. KR (kruskal) algorithm is a greedy algorithm for seeking the optimal solution. Spectral Efficiency (SE) is referred to as spectrum efficiency, also known as system capacity and frequency band utilization. This indicator is used to measure the effectiveness of the system and describes how much capacity can be provided. It is defined as the effective information rate R of the system divided by the communication channel bandwidth B, that is, the number of bits that can be transmitted per second on the unit bandwidth transmission channel. It represents the efficiency of the system's use of spectrum resources, and the unit is bit/s/Hz.
因此,如何实现对RIS更有效的控制以提高频谱效率从而提高通信质量是亟待解决的问题。Therefore, how to achieve more effective control of RIS to improve spectrum efficiency and thus improve communication quality is an urgent problem to be solved.

下面结合图6至图9对本申请实施例提供的一种智能超表面的控制方法进行具体说明。A control method for an intelligent metasurface provided in an embodiment of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with FIGS. 6 to 9 .
示例性的,图6为本申请实施例提供的一种智能超表面的控制方法的流程图。如图6所示,本申请实施例提供的一种智能超表面的控制方法,可以应用于无线通信系统,该系统包括第一设备如基站和智能超表面RIS,该方法可以包括如下步骤:Exemplarily, FIG6 is a flow chart of a control method of a smart metasurface provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG6, a control method of a smart metasurface provided in an embodiment of the present application can be applied to a wireless communication system, the system including a first device such as a base station and a smart metasurface RIS, and the method may include the following steps:
S601,基站通过物理下行控制信道PDCCH发送第一信息给RIS;S601, the base station sends first information to the RIS via a physical downlink control channel PDCCH;
物理下行控制信道PDCCH为用于传输DCI的信道,也可以传输时隙格式指示(Slot Format Indicator,SFI)和抢占指示(Preemption Indication,PI)等信息。The physical downlink control channel PDCCH is a channel used to transmit DCI, and can also transmit information such as slot format indicator (SFI) and preemption indication (PI).
S602,基站通过物理下行共享信道PDSCH发送第二信息给RIS;S602, the base station sends second information to the RIS via a physical downlink shared channel PDSCH;
第一信息用于指示第二信息的获取方式。第二信息用于指示RIS中各阵子的第一配置信息;第一配置信息用于指示性能高于RIS的性能下界的RIS的配置。也就是说,第一信息可以看作第一级DCI,第二信息可以看作第二级DCI。本申请实施例对用于控制RIS的DCI进行了分级,以及通过不同信道传输分级得到的不同级DCI,从而解耦用于控制RIS的配置信息以不受DCI长度限制,实现对RIS的更有效的控制。The first information is used to indicate the method for obtaining the second information. The second information is used to indicate the first configuration information of each array in the RIS; the first configuration information is used to indicate the configuration of the RIS with performance higher than the performance lower limit of the RIS. In other words, the first information can be regarded as the first-level DCI, and the second information can be regarded as the second-level DCI. The embodiment of the present application classifies the DCI used to control the RIS, and the different levels of DCI obtained by classifying through different channel transmission, thereby decoupling the configuration information used to control the RIS so as not to be limited by the DCI length, and realizing more effective control of the RIS.
在一种示例中,指示RIS的性能下界的配置的信息也即第二配置信息可以是码本(Codebook)或波束的索引。码本包括RIS对应的波束所构成的一组有限的向量集合。码本中的每个向量都代表一种可能的波束形状,可以被用于辅助计算波束形状也即用于进行波束赋形。波束的索引用于指示RIS对应的波束的标识。在第二配置信息包括码本或波束的索引的情况下,第一配置信息例如可以是RIS中一个或多个阵子的相位权值。阵子的相位权值对应的波束调整精度高于码本,基于此,RIS根据第一配置信息进行该RIS中阵子的配置,可以保证RIS的性能高于根据码本进行配置时的性能。In one example, the configuration information indicating the lower bound of the performance of RIS, that is, the second configuration information, may be a codebook or an index of a beam. The codebook includes a finite set of vectors formed by the beams corresponding to the RIS. Each vector in the codebook represents a possible beam shape, which can be used to assist in calculating the beam shape, that is, for beamforming. The index of the beam is used to indicate the identifier of the beam corresponding to the RIS. In the case where the second configuration information includes the index of the codebook or the beam, the first configuration information may be, for example, the phase weights of one or more arrays in the RIS. The beam adjustment accuracy corresponding to the phase weights of the arrays is higher than that of the codebook. Based on this, the RIS configures the arrays in the RIS according to the first configuration information, which can ensure that the performance of the RIS is higher than that when configured according to the codebook.
在一种可选的示例中,第一信息所指示的第二信息的获取方式可以包括第二信息在PDSCH中的位置信息和/或解码方式。其中,第二信息在PDSCH中的位置信息例如可以是第二信息在PDSCH的时域和/或频域上的位置。In an optional example, the acquisition method of the second information indicated by the first information may include the position information and/or decoding method of the second information in the PDSCH. The position information of the second information in the PDSCH may be, for example, the position of the second information in the time domain and/or frequency domain of the PDSCH.

S604,RIS根据第二信息,进行RIS中各阵子的配置。S604, RIS configures each phase in RIS according to the second information.
示例性的,图7为本申请实施例提供的一种RIS的配置信息的指示方式的示例图。如图7所示,gNB在PDCCH中传输第一级DCI并指示两类信息:For example, FIG7 is an example diagram of an indication method of RIS configuration information provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG7, the gNB transmits the first-level DCI in the PDCCH and indicates two types of information:
第一类:指示第二级DCI的相关信息,例如,第二级DCI的时频域资源位置;第二级DCI的编码方式,AMC(Adaptive Modulation and Coding,自适应调制编码,是无线信道上采用的一种自适应的编码调制技术,通过调整无线链路传输的调制方式与编码速率,来确保链路的传输质量);BLER(block error rate,误块率)的门限等。The first category: indicates relevant information of the second-level DCI, for example, the time-frequency domain resource location of the second-level DCI; the coding method of the second-level DCI, AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding, which is an adaptive coding and modulation technology used in wireless channels. It ensures the transmission quality of the link by adjusting the modulation method and coding rate of the wireless link transmission); BLER (block error rate) threshold, etc.
第二类:指示low overhead(低开销)的控制信息:码本/beam的index,低开销的拓扑Pattern(图)等。gNB在PDSCH中传输第二级DCI指示high overhead的控制信息,如RIS的具体权值,高开销的RIS阵子的拓扑指示等。The second category: control information indicating low overhead: codebook/beam index, low overhead topology pattern, etc. The gNB transmits the second-level DCI indicating high overhead control information in PDSCH, such as the specific weight of RIS, topology indication of high overhead RIS array, etc.
需要说明的是,RIS的两级DCI的指示可以应用于如下两个场景:RIS的权值指示和HRRIS(Hybrid Reflective Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface,混合反射可调节智能超表面,可以选择性关闭阵子,降低功耗的RIS)的拓扑图指示。It should be noted that the two-level DCI indication of RIS can be applied to the following two scenarios: RIS weight indication and HRRIS (Hybrid Reflective Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface, a hybrid reflective adjustable intelligent metasurface that can selectively shut down arrays to reduce power consumption) topology indication.
在一种可选的示例中,第一信息还用于指示禁止RIS反馈第二信息对应的应答信息;In an optional example, the first information is further used to indicate prohibiting the RIS from feeding back response information corresponding to the second information;
RIS,还用于:RIS is also used for:
在接收信源通过物理下行控制信道PDCCH发送的第一信息之后,根据第一信息,禁用目标进程,其中,目标进程用于反馈应答信息。After receiving first information sent by a source through a physical downlink control channel PDCCH, a target process is disabled according to the first information, wherein the target process is used to feed back response information.
示例性的,当RIS没有正确在资源块上检测到PDSCH也即获取第二信息失败的情况下,不需要向gNB反馈ACK(acknowledgement,肯定应答)/NACK(negative acknowledgment,否定应答),并直接使用PDCCH中的码本进行数据传输。ACK和NACK例如可以是HARQ(Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request)混合自动重传请求。在一种示例中,当RIS在资源块上检测到PDSCH也即获取第二信息成功的情况下,同样可以无需向gNB反馈应答信息。 Exemplarily, when the RIS fails to correctly detect the PDSCH on the resource block, that is, fails to obtain the second information, it is not necessary to feedback ACK (acknowledgement, positive acknowledgment)/NACK (negative acknowledgment) to the gNB, and directly use the codebook in the PDCCH for data transmission. ACK and NACK can be, for example, HARQ (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request) hybrid automatic repeat request. In an example, when the RIS detects the PDSCH on the resource block, that is, successfully obtains the second information, it is also not necessary to feedback the acknowledgment information to the gNB.
在一种示例中,用于传输第二信息如权值残差的PDSCH的AMC和BLER的门限可以与现有的PDSCH也即进行业务数据传输的PDSCH相同或者不相同。举例而言,承载第二级DCI的PDSCH与数据传输的PDSCH的可能的区别可以如下表1所示:
In one example, the thresholds of AMC and BLER of the PDSCH used to transmit the second information such as weight residual may be the same as or different from the existing PDSCH, i.e., the PDSCH for service data transmission. For example, the possible differences between the PDSCH carrying the second-level DCI and the PDSCH for data transmission may be shown in Table 1 below:
示例性的,对于第一级DCI(first stage DCI)和第二级DCI(second stage DCI),可以有如下的DCI field(字段)来用于指示对RIS的配置,分别如下表2和表3所示:
Exemplarily, for the first stage DCI and the second stage DCI, the following DCI field may be used to indicate the configuration of RIS, as shown in Table 2 and Table 3 below, respectively:
在一种可选的示例中,第一信息还用于指示第二配置信息,第二配置信息用于指示性能为性能下界的RIS的配置;In an optional example, the first information is further used to indicate second configuration information, and the second configuration information is used to indicate the configuration of the RIS whose performance is the lower bound of the performance;
RIS,还用于:RIS is also used for:
在获取第二信息失败的情况下,根据第一信息指示的第二配置信息,进行RIS中各阵子的配置。In the case of failure in obtaining the second information, configuration of each phase in the RIS is performed according to the second configuration information indicated by the first information.
示例性的,当RIS没有正确在资源块上检测到PDSCH,可以直接使用PDCCH中指示的信息进行辅助通信。资源块(Resource Block,RB):频率上连续12个子载波,时域上一个时段(slot),称为1个RB。For example, when the RIS does not correctly detect the PDSCH on the resource block, it can directly use the information indicated in the PDCCH for auxiliary communication. Resource Block (RB): 12 consecutive subcarriers in frequency and a time slot in time domain are called 1 RB.
在一种可选的示例中,第一配置信息包括RIS中阵子的相位权值;和/或,In an optional example, the first configuration information includes a phase weight of an array in the RIS; and/or,
在RIS为阵子的启用可控的混合反射可调节智能超表面HRRIS的情况下,第一配置信息包括:HRRIS中阵子的拓扑图。In the case where the RIS is an array-enabled controllable hybrid reflective adjustable smart metasurface HRRIS, the first configuration information includes: a topological map of the array in the HRRIS.
示例性的,图8为本申请实施例提供的一种RIS的配置信息的内容示例图之一。如图8所示,本实施例针对的RIS中阵子的相位权值的传输,将RIS权值解耦成高开销(low overhead)部分和低开销high overhead的部分,分别在PDCCH和PDSCH中进行传输。gNB在PDCCH中传输传统的波束对应的low overhead的配置信息如波束(Beam)的码本,码本用于保证传输性能的下界;gNB在PDSCH中可以传输high overhead的配置信息如详细权值信息,比如:理想权值(例如通过图2示例的KR算法得到的阵子相位权值)或者理想权值和码本的残差也即权值残差。Exemplarily, FIG8 is one of the example diagrams of the content of the configuration information of a RIS provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG8, this embodiment is directed to the transmission of the phase weights of the array in the RIS, and decouples the RIS weights into a high overhead (low overhead) part and a low overhead high overhead part, which are transmitted in PDCCH and PDSCH respectively. The gNB transmits the low overhead configuration information corresponding to the traditional beam in the PDCCH, such as the beam codebook, which is used to ensure the lower bound of the transmission performance; the gNB can transmit the high overhead configuration information such as detailed weight information in the PDSCH, such as: the ideal weight (for example, the array phase weight obtained by the KR algorithm shown in the example of FIG2) or the residual of the ideal weight and the codebook, that is, the weight residual.
本实施例使用两级DCI来传输RIS的相位权值。这样,通过对权值的解耦,可以把低开销的码本信息在PDCCH中传输,把高开销的详细权值信息在PDCSH中传输,从而实现更高精度的权值的指示,提高RIS辅助的通信性能。This embodiment uses two-level DCI to transmit the phase weight of RIS. In this way, by decoupling the weight, the low-overhead codebook information can be transmitted in the PDCCH, and the high-overhead detailed weight information can be transmitted in the PDCSH, thereby achieving a higher-precision indication of the weight and improving the communication performance assisted by RIS.
在一种可选的示例中,第一信息还用于指示第二配置信息,第二配置信息用于指示将RIS的性能配置为性能下界;In an optional example, the first information is further used to indicate second configuration information, and the second configuration information is used to indicate that the performance of the RIS is configured as a performance lower bound;
第一配置信息包括基于第二配置信息得到的第一子配置信息,第一子配置信息占用的时域资源和频域资源低于第一配置信息;The first configuration information includes first sub-configuration information obtained based on the second configuration information, and the time domain resources and frequency domain resources occupied by the first sub-configuration information are lower than those of the first configuration information;
RIS,具体用于:RIS is specifically used for:
在获取第二信息成功的情况下,基于第一子配置信息和第二配置信息,确定第一配置信息;In the case where the second information is successfully acquired, determining the first configuration information based on the first sub-configuration information and the second configuration information;
根据第一配置信息,进行RIS中各阵子的配置。According to the first configuration information, each array in the RIS is configured.
在一种可选的示例中,第二配置信息包括码本的情况下,第一子配置信息包括RIS中阵子的相位权值的残差;In an optional example, when the second configuration information includes a codebook, the first sub-configuration information includes a residual of a phase weight of an array in the RIS;
第二配置信息包括RIS中阵子的第一子拓扑图的情况下,第一子配置信息包括RIS中阵子的第二子拓扑图;第一子拓扑图和第二子拓扑图为划分RIS中阵子的总拓扑图得到的拓扑图,总拓扑图用于指示RIS中阵子的开启。When the second configuration information includes a first sub-topology map of an array in the RIS, the first sub-configuration information includes a second sub-topology map of the array in the RIS; the first sub-topology map and the second sub-topology map are topology maps obtained by dividing the overall topology map of the array in the RIS, and the overall topology map is used to indicate the opening of the array in the RIS.
示例性的,RIS可以使用第二级DCI指示的RIS中阵子的相位权值,或者第二级DCI指示的RIS中阵子的完整拓扑进行配置;或者,RIS可以使用第一级DCI指示的码本和第二级DCI指示的权值残差组合得到RIS中阵子的相位权值;或者RIS可以使用第一级DCI指示的RIS阵子拓扑的组合进行配置。Exemplarily, RIS can be configured using the phase weights of the arrays in RIS indicated by the second-level DCI, or the complete topology of the arrays in RIS indicated by the second-level DCI; or RIS can use the codebook indicated by the first-level DCI and the weight residual indicated by the second-level DCI to obtain the phase weights of the arrays in RIS; or RIS can be configured using a combination of RIS array topologies indicated by the first-level DCI.
示例性的,图9为本申请实施例提供的一种RIS的配置信息的内容示例图之一。如图9所示,本实施例针对RIS的配置信息为HRRIS中阵子的拓扑图的情况,将HRRIS中阵子的总拓扑图解耦成低开销(low overhead)的拓扑Pattern也即RIS中阵子的第一子拓扑图和高开销(high overhead)的拓扑Patter也即RIS中阵子的第二子拓扑图,分别在PDCCH和PDSCH中进行传输。其中,上述任一拓扑图所指示的拓扑位置处的RIS阵子被要求关闭或者开启。例如,如图9中阴影拓扑位置代表开启,白色拓扑位置代表关闭;或者,阴影拓扑位置代表关闭,白色拓扑位置代表开启,具体可以根据应用需求设置,本申请实施例对此不作限制。Exemplarily, FIG9 is one of the example diagrams of the content of the configuration information of a RIS provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG9, in this embodiment, for the case where the configuration information of the RIS is a topological diagram of the array in the HRRIS, the total topological diagram of the array in the HRRIS is decoupled into a low-overhead topological pattern, i.e., the first sub-topological diagram of the array in the RIS, and a high-overhead topological pattern, i.e., the second sub-topological diagram of the array in the RIS, which are transmitted in the PDCCH and PDSCH, respectively. Among them, the RIS array at the topological position indicated by any of the above topological diagrams is required to be turned off or on. For example, as shown in FIG9, the shaded topological position represents on, and the white topological position represents off; or, the shaded topological position represents off, and the white topological position represents on. The specific setting can be based on the application requirements, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.
也就是说,对于RIS阵子的拓扑指示:在一种示例中,gNB在PDCCH中传输低开销的拓扑图(Pattern),用于保证RIS的传输性能的下界即性能下界;gNB在PDSCH中传输high overhead的拓扑Pattern,用于RIS的传输性能的增强。在另一种可选的示例中,gNB在PDSCH中传输所有的拓扑Pattern也即HRRIS中阵子的拓扑图可以不用解耦而是直接以第二信息的形式在PDSCH中传输。 That is to say, for the topology indication of the RIS array: in one example, the gNB transmits a low-overhead topology pattern in the PDCCH to ensure the lower limit of the transmission performance of the RIS, i.e., the performance lower limit; the gNB transmits a high-overhead topology pattern in the PDSCH to enhance the transmission performance of the RIS. In another optional example, the gNB transmits all topology patterns in the PDSCH, i.e., the topology of the array in the HRRIS can be directly transmitted in the PDSCH in the form of the second information without decoupling.
HRRIS中阵子的拓扑图用于指示HRRIS中阵子的开启和/或关闭。在一种可选的示例中,HRRIS中阵子的总拓扑图可以解耦为该完整拓扑图中预设形状((如图9所示的正方形)区域中包含第一数量个(如图9所示的4个和16个)阵子的低开销的拓扑Pattern,以及包含第二数量个(如图9所示的1个)阵子的高开销的拓扑Pattern。其中,预设形状具体可以根据应用需求设置,例如,本实施例中为设置为规则形状以保证计算可以更加便捷。本申请实施例对预设形状不作限定,任何可以解耦RIS中阵子的完整拓扑图的预设形状均可用于本申请。The topological map of the array in HRRIS is used to indicate the opening and/or closing of the array in HRRIS. In an optional example, the overall topological map of the array in HRRIS can be decoupled into a low-overhead topological pattern containing a first number (4 and 16 as shown in Figure 9) of arrays in a preset shape (square as shown in Figure 9) area in the complete topological map, and a high-overhead topological pattern containing a second number (1 as shown in Figure 9) of arrays. Among them, the preset shape can be set specifically according to application requirements. For example, in this embodiment, it is set to a regular shape to ensure that the calculation can be more convenient. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the preset shape, and any preset shape that can decouple the complete topological map of the array in RIS can be used in this application.
本实施例,使用两级DCI来传输RIS阵子的拓扑信息。与RIS阵子的相位权值类似的,通过对RIS拓扑的解耦,把低开销的拓扑信息在PDCCH中传输,把高开销的拓扑信息在PDCSH中传输,从而保证RIS的配置信息更加全面精确,提高通信质量。In this embodiment, two-level DCI is used to transmit the topology information of the RIS array. Similar to the phase weight of the RIS array, by decoupling the RIS topology, the low-overhead topology information is transmitted in the PDCCH, and the high-overhead topology information is transmitted in the PDCSH, thereby ensuring that the configuration information of the RIS is more comprehensive and accurate, and improving the communication quality.
