  • Patent number: 10659130
    Abstract: This application relates to the field of mobile communications, and in particular, to technologies of obtaining channel state information in a wireless communications system. In a channel information obtaining method, a base station obtains channel state matrix information of some channels based on uplink reference information sent by a terminal and partial channel state information of channels between the base station and the terminal, to obtain channel state matrix information of the channels between the base station and the terminal. Base on this method, relatively complete channel state matrix information of the channels between the base station and the terminal can be obtained. This helps the base station select an appropriate parameter to transmit data to the terminal without causing an additional delay, performance loss, or cost increase, or consuming more time-frequency resources used for the uplink reference signal.

  • Patent number: 10601694
    Abstract: In a process by user equipment (UE) to determine a control channel resource, the UE detects a downlink control from a base station. The downlink control channel carries scheduling information of a downlink data channel and comprises multiple control channel logical elements that correspond to the UE and are mapped to one demodulation reference signal (DMRS) antenna port. The UE acquires antenna port information of the DMRS antenna port, an offset, and sequence number information of the control channel logical elements corresponding to the UE, and determines, according to the acquired information, a first control channel resource for sending acknowledgment (ACK)/non-acknowledgment (NACK) information with respect to the downlink data channel corresponding to the downlink control channel.
