  • Patent number: 11817929
    Abstract: A channel state information measurement method and apparatus and a network side device are described. The measurement method includes configuring, by a network side device, channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) transmit information of M access points. The CSI-RS transmit information is used to indicate the M access points to periodically send a CSI-RS to a first user equipment at a preset interval. The preset interval is a time interval and/or a subband interval, and M is an integer greater than 1. The network side device obtains channel state information (CSI) corresponding to each of the M access points. The CSI corresponding to the access point includes first CSI, and the first CSI is information that is measured based on the CSI-RS corresponding to the access point and fed back by the first user equipment.

  • Publication number: 20230155633
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a data sending method, an apparatus, a device, and a readable storage medium. A server determines a first transmission point from a coordinated set, and determines a first downlink sending weight of the first transmission point. Then, the server determines a second downlink sending weight of a second transmission point based on the first downlink sending weight, and sends the second downlink sending weight to the second transmission point. When sending a data stream to an electronic device, the second transmission point determines a downlink sending weight corresponding to the data stream from a matrix, weights the data stream, and sends the weighted data stream to the electronic device.
