Description

Method and device for notifying channel quality indication and modulation coding scheme

This application claims the priority of PCT patent application No. PCT/CN2013/077023 entitled "a notification method and apparatus for channel quality indication and modulation coding scheme" filed on 2013, 06/08, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for notifying channel quality indication and a modulation and coding scheme.

Background

Currently, in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, an adaptive procedure of a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) is as follows: the method includes that User Equipment (UE) estimates Channel Information used for measuring Channel State Information (CSI), the UE calculates a Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) through the Channel Information and based on an optimal Rank Indication (RI) and/or a Precoding Matrix Indication (PMI), the UE obtains a corresponding Channel Quality Indication (CQI) according to the SINR, and reports a CQI value to a base station. A base station allocates a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) to a UE according to a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) value reported by the UE and a network condition, where the MCS is used to indicate a Modulation mode and a Coding mode adopted by a current PDSCH.

In a hot spot scenario, for example, in a Relay (Relay) and LTE hot spot Improvements (LTE-Hi) scenario, the UE needs a Modulation scheme higher than that of 64-phase Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), but due to the limitation of the prior art, the value of CQI is 15 at most, and the corresponding Modulation scheme is 64QAM, so that the UE cannot select the Modulation scheme higher than 64QAM, and further system performance is affected. Similarly, the base station cannot assign a higher modulation scheme than 64QAM to the UE.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The adaptive flow of the Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) is as follows:

first, a User Equipment (UE) estimates Channel Information for measuring Channel State Information (CSI), and then, the UE calculates a Signal to Interference plus noise ratio (SINR) based on an optimal Rank Indication (RI) and/or a Precoding Matrix Indication (PMI) through the Channel Information, and then, the UE obtains a corresponding Channel Quality Indication (CQI) according to the SINR, and reports the CQI to a base station.

The modulation order and the modulation scheme described in the present invention correspond to each other, and for example, if the modulation scheme is Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), the modulation order is 2, if the modulation scheme is 16QAM, the modulation order is 4, if the modulation scheme is 64QAM, the modulation order is 6, and if the modulation scheme is 256QAM, the modulation order is 8.

A detailed description is given below of a CQI notification method according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1, the CQI reporting method includes the following steps:

s101, the UE acquires a first CQI number according to the acquired first CQI table.

The first CQI table may be predefined by a protocol, and preset by the UE according to a protocol specification or pre-stored by the UE; or the UE is selected from at least two predefined tables according to the downlink channel state; or the base station may notify the UE, specifically, the method for the base station to notify the UE may be that the base station selects one of at least two predefined tables according to the uplink channel state or the downlink channel state and notifies the selected one of the at least two predefined tables to the UE. The CQI table is used to describe the mapping relationship between the CQI number and the entry, the mapping relationship of the CQI table in the embodiment of the present invention is only an example for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and the representation form of the CQI table in the present invention includes but is not limited to this, that is, the CQI table may have various combinations, as long as the mapping relationship between the CQI number and the entry can be embodied, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

Specifically, the UE determines a first spectral efficiency according to the measured first SINR, and then obtains a first CQI number corresponding to the first spectral efficiency according to the first spectral efficiency and a first CQI table. Wherein the first CQI table is pre-stored by the UE.

The first CQI table may include:

items with modulation higher than 64 QAM;

at least one item of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include a combination, except for the first combination, of combinations formed by at least one item of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme, where the first combination is N items of which CQI numbers corresponding to QPSK in the second CQI table are continuously the largest, where N is equal to 3 or is a positive integer less than 4 or is a positive integer; and/or at least one item of which the modulation mode is 16QAM in the second CQI table;

the modulation schemes in the entries in the second CQI table may include only QPSK, 16QAM, and 64 QAM.

That is, the first CQI table includes an item having a modulation scheme higher than 64 QAM; the first CQI table may further include at least one item of which the modulation scheme is QPSK in the second CQI table, and the item of which the modulation scheme is QPSK in the first CQI table cannot be only N items of which the CQI numbers corresponding to the item of which the modulation scheme is QPSK in the second CQI table are continuously the largest, where N may be equal to 3 or N may be a positive integer less than 4 or N may be a positive integer; and/or the first CQI table further comprises at least one item with a modulation mode of 16QAM in the second CQI table.

Furthermore, the values of N are only examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The modulation schemes in the entries in the second CQI table include only QPSK, 16QAM, and 64 QAM; the entries in the first CQI table may refer to a modulation scheme, a coding rate, and a spectrum efficiency corresponding to each CQI number in the first CQI table; the item in the second CQI table refers to a modulation mode, a coding rate, and a spectrum efficiency corresponding to each CQI number in the second CQI table, and of course, the item in the present invention may be set according to uplink state information or downlink state information, and the items in the first CQI table and the second CQI table are only examples of the present invention, which is not limited thereto.

The combination is a combination including at least one item of a QPSK modulation scheme in the second CQI table. Taking the second CQI table shown in table 1 as an example, the combinations formed by the QPSK modulation scheme of at least one of the second CQI tables are totally 26-1 to 63. For example, the combination may be a combination of entries corresponding to CQI number 6 in the second CQI table, a combination of entries corresponding to CQI numbers 4,5, and 6 in the second CQI table, a combination of entries corresponding to CQI numbers 3, 5, and 6 in the second CQI table, or the like.

Specifically, there may be three first CQI tables as follows:

first CQI table: only including the item that the modulation mode is QPSK and the modulation mode is higher than 64 QAM;

second first CQI table: only items with the modulation mode of 16QAM and the modulation mode higher than 64QAM are included;

third first CQI table: only items with modulation schemes of QPSK, 16QAM and modulation schemes higher than 64QAM are included.

There may be various first CQI tables in the present invention, and the three first CQI tables are only examples for helping understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

For ease of understanding, the following CQI table (i.e., the second CQI table) is exemplified:

TABLE 1

The first CQI table includes an item with a modulation scheme higher than 64QAM, and for example, the item with the modulation scheme higher than 64QAM may be one item or multiple items.

For example, the modulation scheme of the item that is included in the first CQI table and is higher than 64QAM may be 128QAM and/or 256QAM, and if the first CQI table only includes an item of one modulation scheme, the modulation scheme of the item may be any one of 128QAM, 256QAM, or other modulation schemes with higher modulation schemes, and if the first CQI table includes an item of multiple modulation schemes, the multiple modulation schemes included in the first CQI table may be any one of 128QAM, 256QAM, or other modulation schemes with higher modulation schemes, or may be any multiple of 128QAM, 256QAM, or other modulation schemes with higher modulation schemes.

For example, the first CQI table may include the following items with modulation schemes higher than 64 QAM:

TABLE 2

It should be noted that, in order to reduce the change to the prior art in the specific implementation process, it is preferable that the range of the CQI numbers in the first CQI table and the range of the CQI numbers in the second CQI table are the same, and specifically, may be 0 to 15, and of course, the range of the CQI numbers in the first CQI table may also be larger than the range of the CQI numbers in the second CQI table, for example, the range of the CQI numbers in the first CQI table may also be 0 to 20. The CQI number in the embodiment of the present invention is only an example for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and the scope of the CQI number in the present invention is not limited thereto.

First CQI table: the first CQI table includes only entries with QPSK modulation and higher than 64QAM modulation.

The item of the first CQI table with a modulation scheme higher than 64QAM may be one item, or may be multiple items, and each item of the first CQI table with a modulation scheme higher than 64QAM includes a modulation scheme, a coding rate, and a spectral efficiency, and has a corresponding CQI number.

The first CQI table may further include partial entries in the second CQI table that the modulation scheme is QPSK, that is, partial entries in 6 entries in the second CQI table that the modulation schemes corresponding to CQI numbers 1 to 6 are QPSK (that is, in table 1), and the entries in the first CQI table that the modulation scheme is QPSK are not N entries in the second CQI table that the corresponding CQI numbers in the entries in the modulation scheme that is QPSK are continuously the largest, where N is equal to 3. That is to say: the entries in the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme cannot be only the entries in the second CQI table with the CQI numbers 4,5, and 6.

Or, the first CQI table may further include partial entries in the second CQI table, where the modulation scheme is QPSK, that is, partial entries in 6 entries in the second CQI table, where the modulation schemes of CQIs numbered 1 to 6 are QPSK, and the entries in the first CQI table, where the modulation scheme is QPSK, are not N entries in the second CQI table, where the CQI numbers are continuously the largest, where N is a positive integer and is less than 4, that is, N may be equal to 1,2, 3;

if N is equal to 1, the entry of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme cannot be the only entry corresponding to the CQI number 6 in the second CQI table, or,

if N is equal to 2, the entries of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme cannot be only the entries of the second CQI table with the CQI numbers 5 and 6, or,

if N is equal to 3, the entries of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme cannot be only the entries corresponding to CQI numbers 4,5, and 6 in the second CQI table.

Or, the first CQI table further includes partial entries in the second CQI table that the modulation scheme is QPSK, that is, partial entries in 6 entries in the second CQI table that the modulation schemes corresponding to CQI numbers 1 to 6 are QPSK, and the entries in the first CQI table that the modulation scheme is QPSK are not N entries in the second CQI table that the corresponding CQI numbers are continuously the largest, where N is a positive integer. That is to say: the value range of N can be 1-5;

if N is equal to 3, the entries of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme cannot be only the entries of the second CQI table with the CQI numbers 4,5, and 6, or,

if N is equal to 4, the entries of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme cannot be only the entries of the second CQI table with the CQI numbers 3, 4,5, and 6, or,

if N is equal to 5, the entries of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme cannot be only the entries corresponding to the CQI numbers 2, 3, 4,5, and 6 in the second CQI table.

Or, the entries of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme include partial entries of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme, and CQI numbers corresponding to the partial entries are equally spaced.

For example, if the entry of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme includes 3 entries of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme, the entry of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include entries corresponding to CQI numbers 1, 3, and 5 in the second CQI table, and the entry of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may also include entries corresponding to CQI numbers 2, 4, and 6 in the second CQI table.

Or, the entries of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme include partial entries of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme, and CQI numbers corresponding to the partial entries are not equally spaced.

For example, if the entry of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme includes 3 entries of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme, the entry of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include entries corresponding to CQI numbers 1, 4, and 6 in the second CQI table, or the entry of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may also include entries corresponding to CQI numbers 2,5, and 6 in the second CQI table;

or, if the item of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme includes 4 items of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme, the item of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include items corresponding to CQI numbers 1, 3, 4, and 6 in the second CQI table, or the item of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may also include items corresponding to CQI numbers 1,2, 4, and 6 in the second CQI table;

or, if the entry of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme includes 5 entries of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme, the entry of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include entries corresponding to CQI numbers 1,2, 3, 4, and 6 in the second CQI table.

Or, the item of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme includes a partial item of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme, and the CQI number corresponding to the partial item is discontinuous, and at least one item of the second CQI table with the maximum CQI number is excluded from all items of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme.

For example, the entries of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include entries corresponding to CQI numbers 1 and 3 in the second CQI table, and the entries of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may also include entries corresponding to CQI numbers 2, 4, and 5 in the second CQI table.

Or, the item of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme includes a partial item of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme, and the CQI numbers corresponding to the partial items are consecutive, and at least one item of the CQI tables is not included in all items of the second CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme, which have the largest CQI number.

For example, the entries of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include entries corresponding to CQI numbers 2, 3, and 4 in the second CQI table, and the entries of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme may also include entries corresponding to CQI numbers 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the second CQI table.

Second first CQI table: the first CQI table includes only entries with a modulation of 16QAM and a modulation above 64 QAM.

The first CQI table further includes all items of which modulation schemes are 16QAM in the second CQI table.

Illustratively, the first CQI table further includes 3 entries of a CQI number of 7-9 corresponding to an entry of a second CQI table having a modulation scheme of 16QAM, where the entry corresponds to the modulation scheme of 16 QAM.

Or, specifically, the first CQI table further includes a partial item of the second CQI table whose modulation scheme is 16QAM, and at least one item of the second CQI table except for the item of the second CQI table whose modulation scheme is 16QAM, whose corresponding CQI number is the smallest.

For example, the item of the first CQI table with the modulation scheme of 16QAM may further include items corresponding to CQI numbers 8 and 9 in the second CQI table, and the item of the first CQI table with the modulation scheme of 16QAM may also further include items corresponding to CQI numbers 8 or 9 in the second CQI table.

Third first CQI table: and adding an item with a modulation mode of 16QAM on the basis of the first CQI table to obtain a third CQI table. The third first CQI table only includes entries for modulation schemes QPSK, 16QAM, and modulation schemes higher than 64 QAM. The item of the modulation scheme 16QAM included in the third first CQI table and the item of the modulation scheme 16QAM included in the second first CQI table may be the same.

Specifically, the first CQI table further includes all items of which modulation schemes are 16QAM in the second CQI table.

Further, the first CQI table further includes at least one item in the second CQI table, where the modulation scheme is 64 QAM.

That is, on the basis of the first CQI table, an item with a modulation scheme of 64QAM is added to obtain a fourth CQI table; at this time, the fourth CQI table includes items that the modulation scheme is QPSK, a modulation scheme higher than 64QAM, and 64 QAM;

or on the basis of the second first CQI table, a table added with an item with a modulation mode of 64QAM is a fifth first CQI table; at this time, the fifth first CQI table includes items of a modulation scheme higher than 64QAM, 16QAM, and 64 QAM;

or, on the basis of the third first CQI table, a table added with an item of which the modulation mode is 64QAM is a sixth first CQI table; in this case, the sixth first CQI table includes items of a modulation scheme higher than 64QAM, QPSK, 16QAM, and 64 QAM.

The item of the fourth, fifth or sixth first CQI table with the modulation scheme of 64QAM is as follows:

specifically, the first CQI table further includes all items of the second CQI table whose modulation schemes are 64 QAM.

For example, the second CQI number corresponding to the item with the modulation scheme of 64QAM in the second CQI table is 10 to 15, and the corresponding modulation scheme is 6 items of 64 QAM.

Or, specifically, the first CQI table further includes a partial item of the second CQI table whose modulation scheme is 64QAM, and at least one item of the second CQI table except for an item of the second CQI table whose modulation scheme is 64QAM and whose corresponding CQI number is the largest.

For example, the item of the first CQI table with the modulation scheme of 64QAM may further include an item of the second CQI table with the CQI number of 10-M; wherein M can be 11, 12, 13 and 14; the item of the first CQI table with the modulation scheme of 64QAM may also include items corresponding to CQI numbers 10, 12, and 14 in the second CQI table; the item of the first CQI table with the modulation scheme of 64QAM may also include items corresponding to CQI numbers 10 and 13 in the second CQI table, and the item of the first CQI table with the modulation scheme of 64QAM may also include items corresponding to CQI numbers 10, 13, and 14 in the second CQI table.

Further, in the above six first CQI tables, the spectral efficiency of the corresponding item with the smallest CQI number in the items with a modulation scheme higher than 64QAM may be equal to the spectral efficiency of the corresponding item with the largest CQI number in all the items with a modulation scheme of 64QAM in the second CQI table.

Further, in the above-mentioned six first CQI tables, the spectral efficiencies { S1, …, Si … ST } (arranged from small to large) of the T entries having the smallest CQI numbers among the entries having the modulation schemes higher than 64QAM may be equal to or approximately equal to the spectral efficiencies { P1, …, Pi … PT } (arranged from small to large) of the T entries having the largest CQI numbers among all the entries having the modulation schemes of 64QAM in the second CQI table. Wherein T is any natural number from 1 to 5, and i is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to T. By approximately equal is meant: { S1, …, Si … ST } is not identical to { P1, …, Pi … PT }, and the difference between Si and Pi is smaller than a preset value a.

For example, the spectral efficiency of the T entry with the smallest CQI number in the entries of the first CQI table with a modulation scheme higher than 64QAM includes any one or more (two or more) of the following values: {3.3223, 3.9023, 4.5234, 5.1152, 5.5547} or {3.3203,3.8984,4.5234,5.1172,5.5547} including any one or more of the following values. The above spectral efficiencies are respectively equal to or approximately equal to the spectral efficiencies of 5 items with the maximum CQI number in all the items with the modulation mode of 64QAM in the second CQI table.

Taking T as an example of 2, the T entry with the smallest CQI number corresponding to the entry with the modulation scheme higher than 64QAM in the first CQI table is shown in table 3.

TABLE 3

For example, suppose that the item of the first CQI table with the QPSK modulation scheme is 3 items, and the corresponding CQI number is 1 to 3; the item with the modulation mode of 16QAM is 3 items, and the corresponding CQI serial number is 4-6; the item with the modulation mode of 64QAM is 5 items, and the corresponding CQI serial number is 7-11; and the CQI number range in the first CQI table is 0-15, the item that the modulation mode is higher than 64QAM in the first CQI table is 4 items, the correspondent CQI number is 12-15; if the entry with the smallest CQI number is 12, specifically, as shown in the following table, the entry with the CQI number of 12 in the first CQI table is the entry with the CQI number of 15 in the second CQI table shown in table 1.

As can be known from table 4, the entries in the first CQI table and the entries in the second CQI table corresponding to the same CQI number may be the same, for example, when the CQI number is 1; entries in the first CQI table and entries in the second CQI table corresponding to the same CQI number may also be different, such as when the CQI numbers are 5, 9, and 10.

TABLE 4

As can be seen, the above six first CQI tables all include entries with modulation schemes higher than 64QAM, so that the UE is supported to select a modulation scheme with a modulation scheme higher than 64QAM and notify the base station by using a method of sending a CQI number, thereby improving system performance. The sixth first CQI table includes QPSK, 16QAM, and 64QAM and items having a modulation scheme higher than 64QAM, and is a preferred first CQI table.

Further optionally, in any one of the first CQI tables, the spectral efficiency of the item with the largest CQI number corresponding to the item with the modulation scheme higher than 64QAM may be:

or 8 times the maximum coding rate of the terminal UE, wherein the maximum coding rate is a positive real number smaller than 1;

alternatively, 7.4063;

alternatively, 7.432.

It should be noted that the maximum coding rate of the terminal refers to the maximum coding rate of the transport block that the terminal can receive, and if the coding rate of the transport block is greater than the maximum coding rate of the terminal, the terminal may not receive the transport block. The maximum coding rate of the terminal is not the coding rate in the CQI table. In general, the maximum coding rate of the terminal may be 0.93 or 0.929.

Optionally, the spectral efficiencies of the X entries with the largest CQI numbers in any one of the first CQI tables are arranged into an arithmetic progression or an approximate arithmetic progression according to the descending order of the spectral efficiencies; the spectral efficiencies of the X items with the largest CQI number in the first CQI table are arranged into an arithmetic progression according to the sequence of the spectral efficiencies from small to large, which means that the difference between the spectral efficiency of each item and the spectral efficiency of the previous item is equal to a constant from the second item of the X items according to the sequence of the spectral efficiencies from small to large; the spectral efficiencies of the X items with the largest CQI number in the first CQI table are arranged into an approximately equal difference number array according to the sequence of the spectral efficiencies from small to large, and the sequence refers to that the difference between the spectral efficiency of each item and the spectral efficiency of the previous item is within the range of subtracting a preset value from a constant and adding the preset value from the constant from the second item in the X items according to the sequence of the spectral efficiencies from small to large; and X is an integer greater than 2.

That is, assuming that the spectral efficiencies of the X entries with the largest CQI numbers in the first CQI table are (m1, m2, … …, mX), respectively, the difference between the spectral efficiency of each entry and the spectral efficiency of the previous entry is calculated from the second entry of the X entries, denoted as ti, where 1 ≦ i ≦ X-1, i.e., (t1, t2, … …, tX-1), and ti ≦ mi + 1-mi.

If all the values in the (t1, t2, … …, tX-1) are equal (a constant), the spectral efficiencies of the X entries with the largest CQI numbers in the first CQI table are arranged in an arithmetic progression in the order of the smallest spectral efficiency, and the constant is referred to as the tolerance of the arithmetic progression.

If a constant exists, so that the absolute values of the differences between all the numerical values in the (t1, t2, … … and tX-1) and the constant are within a preset value range, arranging the spectral efficiencies of the X items with the largest CQI numbers in the first CQI table into an approximate equal difference series according to the sequence of the spectral efficiencies from small to large; it can also be understood that: if the absolute value of the difference between any two adjacent numerical values in the (t1, t2, … … and tX-1) is smaller than a preset value, each numerical value in the (t1, t2, … … and tX-1) is approximately equal, then the spectral efficiencies of the X items with the largest CQI numbers in the first CQI table are arranged into an approximately equal-difference series according to the sequence of the spectral efficiencies from small to large, and the constant is called the tolerance of the approximately equal-difference series.

For example, taking X ═ 3 as an example, the 3 entries with the largest CQI numbers in the first CQI table are shown in table 5-1.

TABLE 5-1

As shown in table 5-1, the entries with CQI numbers 13-15 correspond to spectral efficiencies of 6.1719, 6.7891, 7.4063, respectively; starting from the second term (i.e. from the term with the CQI number 14), the difference between the spectral efficiency of each term and the spectral efficiency of the previous term is equal to 0.6172, and then the spectral efficiencies of the 3 terms with the largest CQI number in the first CQI table are organized into an equal difference number series according to the sequence of the spectral efficiencies from small to large.

For example, taking X ═ 3 as an example, the 3 entries with the largest CQI numbers in the first CQI table are shown in table 5-2.

TABLE 5-2

As shown in table 5-2, the spectral efficiencies corresponding to the entries with CQI numbers 13-15 are 6.1797, 6.8047, 7.4297, respectively, and the difference between the spectral efficiency of each entry and the spectral efficiency of the previous entry is equal to 0.625, starting from the second entry (i.e., from the entry with CQI number 14), then the spectral efficiencies of the 3 entries with the largest CQI number in the first CQI table are grouped into an equal difference series in the order of the spectral efficiencies from small to large; or,

as shown in table 5-2, the entries with CQI numbers 13-15 correspond to spectral efficiencies of 6.1805, 6.8062, 7.432, respectively; assuming that the preset value is 0.001, the difference between the spectral efficiency of each term and the spectral efficiency of the previous term is in the range of 0.625 minus 0.001 plus 0.625 plus 0.001 from the second term (i.e. from the term with the CQI number of 14), then the spectral efficiencies of the 3 terms with the largest CQI numbers in the first CQI table are grouped into an approximately equal difference number column in the order of the spectral efficiencies from small to large.

Alternatively, the spectral efficiency of the entry with the minimum CQI number corresponding to the X entries with the maximum CQI number in the first CQI table may be equal to the spectral efficiency of the entry with the maximum CQI number corresponding to all entries with a modulation scheme of 64QAM in the second CQI table.

Optionally, the spectrum efficiency of the entry with the largest CQI number, among the X entries with the largest CQI number in the first CQI table, may be:

alternatively, 7.4063;

alternatively, 7.432.

Further optionally, in any of the first CQI tables, the spectral efficiency of the term with the modulation higher than 64QAM includes at least one of the following values:

in the following, the spectral efficiencies of the items with modulation schemes higher than 64QAM in the first CQ I table are taken as examples, and each of the spectral efficiencies includes one of the following values:

{5.5547 6.1797 6.8047 7.4297}

alternatively, { 6.17976.80477.4297 }

Alternatively, { 5.55476.17196.78917.4063 }

Alternatively, { 6.17196.78917.4063 }

Taking the second MCS table shown in table 6 as an example, the total number of combinations made up of at least one QPSK modulation scheme in the second MCS table is 210-1 to 1023. For example, the combination may be a combination of entries corresponding to the CQI number 6 in the second MCS table, a combination of entries corresponding to the MCS numbers 6, 7, 8, and 9 in the second MCS table, a combination of entries corresponding to the CQI numbers 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 in the second CQI table, or the like.

Specifically, there may be three first MCS tables:

The first MCS table of the present invention may be various, and the above three first MCS tables are only examples for helping understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Specifically, determining the first MCS number according to the received first CQI number, the first CQI table, and the first CQI number received by the first MCS table, or determining the first MCS number according to the acquired first CQI table, the acquired first MCS table, and the received first CQI number includes:

a first TBS number and a first MCS number are determined based on the first CQI table, the first MCS table, and the received first CQI number. The method specifically comprises the following steps: and determining a first TBS number and a first MCS number according to the acquired first PRB number, the first CQI table, the first MCS table and the received first CQI number. Further comprising: and determining a first TBS number and a first MCS number according to the acquired first PRB number, the first CQI table, the first MCS table, the first TBS table and the received first CQI number.

The first PRB number is the PRB number allocated to the UE by the base station; or the first PRB number is a maximum integer less than or equal to a product of the PRB number allocated to the UE and a specific coefficient; wherein the specific coefficient is a pre-stored value or a value notified to the UE by the base station.

Specifically, if the first modulation scheme is 256QAM and the number of PRBs allocated to the UE is less than or equal to the specific threshold Q, the first number of PRBs is a maximum integer not greater than a product of the number of PRBs allocated to the UE and the specific coefficient P. Wherein the product of P and Q is not greater than the maximum number of PRBs, which is 110 in the LTE system. Preferably, when Q is 82, P is 1.33, where P is Q109.06 <110, and in this case, if the number of PRBs allocated to the UE by the base station is 50, the first PRB number is the largest integer smaller than or equal to 50, 1.33, 66.5, that is, the first PRB number is 66.

Further optionally, the value range of the TBS number in the first TBS table is 0-a, where a is a positive integer less than or equal to 26.

Or optionally, the value range of the TBS number in the first TBS table is 0-B, where B is a positive integer greater than or equal to 26, and the size of the transport block corresponding to the value range of the TBS number in the first TBS table of 0-26 is the same as the size of the transport block corresponding to the value range of the TBS number in the second TBS table of 0-26; the value range of the TBS numbers in the second TBS table is 0-26, and the second TBS table includes at least one PRB number corresponding to each TBS number and a transmission block size corresponding to each PRB number.

Or optionally, the value range of the TBS number in the first TBS table is 0-B, where B is a positive integer greater than or equal to 26, and the size of the transport block corresponding to the value range of the TBS number in the first TBS table, which is 0-C, is the same as the size of the transport block corresponding to the value range of the TBS number in the second TBS table, which is a non-negative integer less than or equal to 26; the value range of the TBS numbers in the second TBS table is 0-26, and the second TBS table includes at least one PRB number corresponding to each TBS number and a transmission block size corresponding to each PRB number.

More specifically, the determining the first TBS number according to the first CQI table, the first PRB number, the first TBS table, and the received first CQI number includes:

first, according to the received first CQI number and the first CQI table, a first modulation scheme and a first spectrum efficiency corresponding to the received first CQI number are determined.

Secondly, the size of a first transmission block transmitted to the UE is obtained according to the first PRB number and the first spectrum efficiency.

Then, according to the first TBS table, a first TBS number corresponding to the first transport block size and the first PRB number in the first TBS table is obtained.

It is noted that the first CQI table, the first MCS table, and the first TBS table may be pre-stored by the base station.

For ease of understanding, the TBS table (i.e., the second TBS table) in the existing protocol is as follows:

TABLE 7

For example, when B is 32, the first TBS number in the first TBS table ranges from 0 to 32 (as shown in table 8). Xxx of the example in the table represents the transport block size, and the specific value can be set according to the simulation result.

TABLE 8

The first TBS table is further defined below.

Optionally, the first TBS table includes TBS number Y1, where for each PRB number, the transport block size corresponding to TBS number Y1 is larger than the transport block size corresponding to TBS number 25 in the second TBS table and is smaller than the transport block size corresponding to TBS number 26 in the second TBS table. The value range of the TBS numbers in the second TBS table is 0-26, and the second TBS table includes at least one PRB number corresponding to each TBS number and a transmission block size corresponding to each PRB number.

Wherein, TBS number Y1 may be greater than 26, for example, Y1 may be 27 or 28.

For example, for each number of PRBs, the transport block size corresponding to TBS number 27 in the first TBS table is larger than the transport block size corresponding to TBS number 25 in said second TBS table and smaller than the transport block size corresponding to TBS number 26 in said second TBS table. More specifically, if the number of PRBs is 1, the size of the transport block corresponding to the TBS number 27 in the first TBS table is greater than 616 and less than 712; for another example, if the number of PRBs is 2, the transport block size corresponding to the TBS number 27 in the first TBS table is greater than 1256 and smaller than 1480.

Optionally, the first TBS table includes TBS number Y2 and at least one corresponding TBS number Y2 in the following table a, where any one includes a PRB number and a transport block size corresponding to the PRB number:

the TBS number Y2 in the first TBS table may be greater than 26, and example Y2 is 27.

And finally, acquiring a first MCS number corresponding to the first TBS number according to the first MCS table, the first modulation mode and the first TBS number.

The first CQI table described in this embodiment is the same as the first CQI table in the above embodiment, and is not described here again. The first MCS table in the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

For ease of understanding, the following MCS table (i.e., the second MCS table) is used as an example for explanation:

TABLE 9

The modulation order and the modulation scheme in table 9 correspond to each other, and for example, the modulation order is 2 if the modulation scheme is QPSK, 4 if the modulation scheme is 16QAM, 6 if the modulation scheme is 64QAM, and 8 if the modulation scheme is 256 QAM.

The entries in table 9 with MCS numbers 29, 30 and 31 are reserved entries.

It should be noted that, in order to reduce the change to the prior art in the implementation process, it is preferable that the range of the MCS number in the first MCS table and the range of the MCS number in the second MCS table are the same and 0 to 31, and of course, the range of the MCS number in the first MCS table may be larger than the range of the MCS number in the second MCS table, for example, the range of the MCS number in the first MCS table is 0 to 40.

First MCS table: the first MCS table includes only entries with QPSK modulation and higher than 64QAM modulation.

The first MCS table may include one or more entries with modulation schemes higher than 64QAM, and each entry with modulation schemes higher than 64QAM includes a modulation order and a first TBS number, and has a corresponding MCS number.

Watch 10

The first MCS table further includes at least one item of which the modulation scheme is QPSK in the second MCS table, and the at least one item of which the modulation scheme is QPSK includes a combination other than the second combination in a combination composed of at least one item of which the modulation scheme is QPSK in the second MCS table. That is to say, the first MCS table further includes at least one item of which modulation scheme is QPSK in the second MCS table, and the MCS number of the item of which modulation scheme is QPSK in the second MCS table is not the item corresponding to the largest consecutive K MCS numbers, where K is 6. That is, the entries with modulation schemes QPSK in the first MCS table are not the 6 entries with the largest continuous MCS number in the entries with modulation schemes QPSK in the second MCS table (i.e., in table 4), and the entries with modulation schemes QPSK in the second MCS table correspond to the modulation schemes QPSK with part of the 9 entries with modulation schemes 0 to 9.

That is, the entries of the first MCS table whose modulation scheme is QPSK cannot be only the entries of the second MCS table whose MCS numbers are 4,5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Or, the first MCS table further includes at least one item of which the modulation scheme is QPSK in the second MCS table, and the MCS number of the item of which the modulation scheme is QPSK in the second MCS table is not the item corresponding to the largest consecutive K MCS numbers, where K is a positive integer. That is, the modulation schemes corresponding to MCS numbers 0 to 9 in the second MCS table are partial entries of 9 entries of QPSK, and the entry of QPSK in the first MCS table is not the K entries of QPSK with the largest consecutive MCS numbers in the entries of QPSK in the second MCS table, specifically, K may have a value range of 1 to 8, that is:

the item of the first MCS table whose modulation scheme is QPSK cannot be only the item of the second MCS table whose MCS number is 9, or,

the entries of the first MCS table with QPSK modulation cannot be only the entries of the second MCS table with MCS numbers 8 and 9, or,

the entries of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme cannot be only the entries of the second MCS table with the MCS numbers 7, 8, and 9, or,

the entries of the first MCS table whose modulation scheme is QPSK cannot be only the entries of the second MCS table whose MCS numbers are 6, 7, 8, 9, or,

the entries of the first MCS table whose modulation scheme is QPSK cannot be only the entries of the second MCS table whose MCS numbers are 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or,

the entries of the first MCS table whose modulation scheme is QPSK cannot be only the entries of the second MCS table whose MCS numbers are 4,5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or,

the entries of the first MCS table whose modulation scheme is QPSK cannot be only the entries of the second MCS table whose MCS numbers are 3, 4,5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or,

the entries of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme cannot be only the entries of the second MCS table with the MCS numbers 2, 3, 4,5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Or, the first MCS table includes a partial entry of the second MCS table whose modulation scheme is QPSK, and MCS numbers corresponding to the partial entry are equally spaced.

For example, if the entry of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme includes 3 entries of the second MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme, the entry of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include entries corresponding to MCS numbers 0, 3, and 6 in the second MCS table, or the entry of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme may also include entries corresponding to CQI numbers 2,5, and 8 in the second MCS table; or, the entries of the first MCS table with QPSK modulation may also include entries of the second MCS table with CQI numbers of 3, 6, and 9; or, the entries of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme may also include entries of the second MCS table with CQI numbers of 0, 4, and 8; or, the entries of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme may also include entries of the second MCS table with CQI numbers of 1, 5, and 9;

if the item of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme includes 4 items of the second MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme, the item of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include items corresponding to MCS numbers 0, 3, 6, and 9 in the second MCS table;

if the entry of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme includes 5 entries of the second MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme, the entry of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include entries corresponding to MCS numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 in the second MCS table; or, the entries of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include entries of the second MCS table with MCS numbers 0,2, 4, 6, and 8.

Or, the first MCS table includes a partial entry of the second MCS table whose modulation scheme is QPSK, and MCS numbers corresponding to the partial entry are not equally spaced.

For example, the entry of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme includes M entries of the second MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme, where M may be 3, 4,5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, and if M is 5, the entry of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme includes 5 entries of the MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme, and the entry of the first MCS table with the QPSK modulation scheme may include entries of the MCS tables with corresponding second MCS numbers of 1, 4, 7, 8, and 9.

Or, the first MCS table includes a partial entry of the second MCS table, where the modulation scheme is QPSK, and the MCS numbers corresponding to the partial entry are discontinuous, and at least one entry except the entry with the largest MCS number in all entries of the second MCS table, where the modulation scheme is QPSK, that is, the partial entry of the first MCS table, where the modulation scheme is QPSK, does not include the entry with the largest MCS number in all entries of the second MCS table, where the modulation scheme is QPSK.
