Common Concept
Frame struct(LTE(TDD) and NR)
One Slot resource
- one slot resouce include time and frequency two parts.
time: OFDM symbols
= 14
frequency :subcarries
one slot
RE define
Resource element with frequency-domain index and time-domain index , antenna port p and
subcarrier spacing configuration μ in one RB.
The reference point for k=0 is subcarrier 0 in common resource block 0.
k range is : 0.. (-1) ( consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain:12)
l range is : 0..13 (OFDM symbol number:14)
RB define
A resource block is defined as
![]()
consecutive subcarriers in the frequency domain.

CSI-RS作用
- 3GPP定义了CQI(Channel Quality Indication,信道质量指示)这个概念,CQI用于UE 想网络侧指示,通过下行测量,UE所感知到的下行链路的信干扰噪声比 (SINR)
- 通过UE所报告的SINR,网络决定UE在下行的频谱效率,这频谱效率可以通过通过香农定理得到。
- 当频谱效率被决定了以后,那么下行的码率就决定了,因为频谱效率的本意就是成功发送每个bit所需要的赫兹。
- 如果码率决定了,那么MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme,调试与编码策略:调制方式和码率)也就确定了。
- 此外还有波束管理(主要包括发端波束测量、收端波束测量以及收发端同时波束测量),时频跟踪(精确测量时偏和频偏,通过TRS信号实现),移动性管理(通过对本区以及邻区的CSI-RS跟踪测量),速率匹配(主要ZP CSI-RS实现对PDSCH的RE级速率匹配)等。
UE需要一个参考信号,来测得下行的SINR,并且进行上报,那么CSI-RS的基本功能就是提供这个参考信号。
CSI-RS type :为非零功率NZP CSI-RS和零功率ZP CSI-RS两种
- Zero power CSI-RS(不需要产生并映射到RE上,用于PDSCH的速率匹配,不发东西)
- Non zero power CSI-RS(需要实际产生并映射到RE上)

CSI-RS中的CDM
CSI-RS resource的port数量可以是单个port,也可以是multi-port,最多到32个port。在multi-port映射的时候会用到CDM的这个概念,即多个CSI-RS port可以在相同时频资源上通过CDM的方式加以区分和映射
cdm-Type
cdm-Type: include 4 types : {noCDM, fd-CDM2, cdm4-FD2-TD2, cdm8-FD2-TD4}
- noCDM就是将CSI-RS只映射在一个RE上
- FD-CDM2: 在频域2载波,时域1符号的2个RE上实现2个port的复用, one port two REs
- CDM4-FD2-TD2:在频域2载波,时域2符号的4个RE上实现4个port的复用 , one port four REs
- CDM8-FD2-TD4:在频域2载波,时域4符号的8个RE上实现8个port的复用
CDM types table
FOR example : fd- CDM2 port
frequency domain : two subcarries
time domain: one symbol
code domain: [W0, W1]

CSI-RS(used REs) location within a slot
HOW decide CSI-RS time and frequency domains in one slot
- n : the number of RB whitin one slot
-
: 取值可能为k0,k1,k2,k3,..k6 这些值会通过RRC参数frequencyDomainAllocation计算得出
[k0, k1,...,k6] compute table.
value include [
,
]
有两个取值,
和
,值会通过 RRC参数 firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain和firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain2得到,l0和l1的区别在于不同的场景中使用,表示CSI-RS的时域起始符号。
and
can get from the table 7.4.1.5.3-1: CSI-RS locations within a slot.
PORT compute
ports range:
accordifng to : Table 7.4.1.5.3-1: CSI-RS locations within a slot compute the CSI-RS resources(REs and port information ).
For Example
