Embodiments of this application provide a precoding matrix indication method, a communications apparatus, and a storage medium. A precoding matrix of each of K frequency-domain units satisfies W=W.sub.1×W.sub.2, and elements in W.sub.2 in the K frequency-domain units are represented by P elements that are relatively few. A terminal device reports third indication information, where the third indication information includes first indication information and the second indication information, and the first indication information and the second indication information are independently encoded. The first indication information is used to indicate the P elements, and the second indication information is used to indicate P. Therefore, the terminal device can adjust a quantity of information bits of the second indication information based on a channel condition change, thereby improving precoding matrix reporting efficiency.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for generating a CSI report. One apparatus includes a transceiver that receives a set of reference signals transmitted from a base station and a processor that transforms the set of reference signals to obtain per-layer vectors of amplitude and phase coefficients of a DFT-compressed codebook. Here, each amplitude coefficient vector and phase coefficient vector corresponding to a tap in at least one identified beam. The processor calculates a subset of the taps for the at least one identified beam and controls the transceiver to transmit CSI feedback including the calculated taps to the base station, where each tap is an inverse Fourier transform of rows of time-domain coefficient vectors and where the CSI feedback includes an indication of one or more elements of the vectors of amplitude coefficient vectors and phase coefficient vectors corresponding to the at least one identified beam.

The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of wireless communication technology, and provide a channel state information (CSI) feedback method and device to reduce CSI feedback overhead. In the method, a terminal determines an orthogonal beam group and pre-coding matrix information according to codebook parameter information, wherein specified coefficients of the same beam in the orthogonal beam group in a first polarization direction and a second polarization direction are the same, and the specified coefficients comprise an amplitude coefficient and/or a phase coefficient; the pre-coding matrix information comprises the specified coefficients and an adjustment factor, and the adjustment factor is used together with the specified coefficients to determine a linear combination coefficient other than a specified combination coefficient in a linear combination coefficient set; and the determined pre-coding matrix information is sent to a network-side device. In the foregoing manner, the terminal reports the specified coefficients (equivalent to partial linear combination coefficients) in the linear combination coefficient set. Since the number of reported coefficients is reduced, system overhead caused by feedback CSI information may be reduced.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform channel state information measurements on reference signal transmissions from a base station. The UE may identify a set of cross layer coefficients associated with a set of spatial layers based on the channel state information measurements. The UE may additionally identify a set of precoding coefficients associated with a spatial layer from the set of spatial layers. In some implementations, the set of precoding coefficients may be based on the set of cross layer coefficients. In some examples, the UE may transmit the set of cross layer coefficients and the set of precoding coefficients to the base station.

A method and apparatus is provided for generating a channel state information report. The method includes receiving reference signals transmitted from a base station. A set of beams are selected based on the received reference signals, each of the beams corresponding to a discrete Fourier transform vector, wherein each of the beams has a corresponding beam index. A set of quantized weighting coefficients are reported, each of the weighting coefficients corresponding to a respective beam index and a respective tap index. The tap index corresponds to a member of a Fourier basis set. At least two subsets of the reported set of weighting coefficients are quantized according to separate quantization procedures.

A wireless communication method is described for a channel state information reporting method. The reporting method may include a communication node performing the following example operations: (1) Performing differential operation on a sequence of coefficients used to compose the precoding matrix vector with a certain vector, where the differential operation may be performed on adjacent frequency domain units in order to produce a resulting sequence. The sequence of coefficients of the certain vector is a sequence formed by the value of the certain vector's coefficients on the different unit of the frequency domain. (2) The resulting sequence can be transformed to obtain another sequence on another domain. (3) Send back at least some of the data in the another sequence to a network node.

This application provides a method for indicating vectors used to construct a precoding vector and a communications apparatus.

The CSI report is used to indicate a quantity of space-frequency vector pairs reported for R transport layers, and indication overheads of the quantity of space-frequency vector pairs are irrelevant to a quantity R of the transport layers. Through fixing of the indication overheads, the indication of the quantity of space-frequency vector pairs reported for the R transport layers may be designed in a first part of the CSI report, so that the network device decodes the first part based on a determined length. The network device may determine overheads of a second part based on information in the first part, to decode the second part and obtain information in the CSI report.
