CSI (Channel State Information)

 

CSI stands for Channel State Information and it is pretty confusing concept. First, it confused me because of too many parameters for configuration and then it became even more confusing with introduction of CA (Carrier Aggregation). It would be very hard to understand every details without having some hands-on (e.g, testing or developing on your own). My recommendation is to go through the basic defintions and additional pages linked in < What is CSI > section and then go through the test procedures briefly described in this page in order to get better sense on the concept.

 

 

< What is CSI >

 

CSI is a kind of collective name of several different type of indicators (UE report) as listed below.

  • Channel Quality Indicator(CQI)
  • precoding matrix indicator (PMI)
  • precoding type indicator (PTI)
  • rank indication (RI)

For the overall meaning of these CSI elements and reporting cycles and RRC elements, refer to following links. In this page, I would mostly focus on MAC/PHY layer issues.

Base framework of CSI is described in 36.213 7.2 UE procedure for reporting Channel State Information (CSI). It is around 30 pages as of Rel 11 specification, but can be one of the most complicated part of whole 36.213. By concept this is difficult and in addition most of these are very tightly related to 36.211 (L1 procedure) and 36.331 (RRC Procedure). Inter-relations amongh these multiple standards would be another factors making your head spin. So don't get disappointed if you don't understand those details when you first read this page or 3GPP documents.

 

 

< Why So Complicated >

 

I think the proper question for this subsection should be "Why I think it is so complicated ?". It may not be that comlicated for others.. but it is complicated to me.. very much !

 

  • First thing that confused me is that there are many different types of CSIs and depending on which CSI is reported, UE should use different PUCCH Format. (So you need to understand the details of each PUCCH format)
  • Second thing is that what kind of CSI is required is largely influenced by what kind of Transmission Mode is being applied. (So you need to know the details of Transmission Mode)
  • And then we have another thing to think about. it is about DCI format. In many cases, DCI carries some special field that is requesting specific CSI report (e.g, CQI request, CSI request field) or some fields which influence CSI measurement process (e.g, Precoding Matrix info). For each transmission mode, there is one or a couple of specific DCI formats that can be applied for a specific transmission mode. So you need to understand the details of each DCI formats and how each of those DCI formats are used for each specific Transmission Mode.
  • Last.. most complicated/confusing things .. there are a lot of IEs in RRC messages (e.g, RRC Connection Setup or RRC Connection Recofigurations) that defines on 'what kind of CSI a UE need to report', 'when (in what cycle) to send the report' and 'how the physical layer parameters for PUCCH format is configured'.
  • Even on top of these, I got more complicated situation now with introduction of Carrier Aggregation, because you have to think of "Does UE need to report CSI for only PCC or only SCC or Both ?" "Can UE report CSI for PCC and SCC simultaneously ?" etc

 

 

< Important Tables - Transmission Mode and Codebooks >

 

One of the most important purpose of CSI on UE side is to estimate the channel quality and recommend a proper precoding matrix to network. So large part of CSI estimation and report is tightly related to various precoding matrix. There are several different sets of precoding matrix and different precoding matrix set (this set is called 'Codebook') is used for different transmission condition (more specifically different transmission mode). Therefore, in order to understand the overal mechanism of CSI estimation/report, the first step would be to get familiar with all of these precoding matrix set and how to represent each specific matrix from the selected set.

The purpose of this sub section is to put all the possible sets of precoding matrix together for easy future reference and give you overall understanding.

 

Since there are a lot of different sets of matrix and it is impossible to notify the values of matrix itself, there should be some other efficient way to indicate each matrix. The way to be used in LTE is to assign a number (index) to each of the precoding matrix and use that index number to communicate between network and UE about the specific precoding matrix.

 

First table I want to introduce you is the table shown below. It shows the how many bits that can be used for each of the transmission mode and number of transmission antenna. This number of bits reprented here indicate (imply) how many different precoding matrix can be used for each cases. For example, if you see 'Transmission Mode 3' and '2 antenna ports' case, you see the number '2'. It means that there is total two matrix that can be used as precoding matrix. As an other example,  if you see 'Transmission Mode 4' and '4 antenna ports' case, you see the number '64'. It means that there is total 64 matrix that can be used as precoding matrix.

Actually the explicit meaning of this table is to indicate 'how many bits are used to indicate each precoding matrix'. It is represented as binary number, but the index number in decimal is not as you learn in math course. This number is a 'bit mapped' number in which the position in the bit string represent a decimal index number. For example, if you look into 'Transmission Mode 4' and '2 Antenna ports', you would see 6. It means a binary number with 6 bit number is used to indicate each index of 6 different precoding matrix.  

    000001 --> index number 0

    000010 --> index number 1

    000100 --> index number 2

    001000 --> index number 3

    010000 --> index number 4

    100000 --> index number 5

36.213 Table 7.2-1b: Number of bits in codebook subset restriction bitmap for applicable transmission modes

 

The numbers shown in the above table (36.213 Table 7.2-1b) shows only the index precoding matrix that can be used and it does not let you know exactly which sets of precoding matrix. For the specific precoding matrix sets (we call this set as Codebook), you need to refer to other tables.

 

The first set of precoding matrix (CodeBook) is shown in the following table. This set is used in the case where Tx antenna ports {0,1} and CSI antenna port {15, 16} is used. Each of these antenna ports is using corresponding reference signal 0,1 and 15,16 introduced in downlink reference signal page

 

36.211 Table 6.3.4.2.3-1: Codebook for transmission on antenna ports {0,1} and for CSI reporting based on antenna ports {0,1} or {15,16}

 

The index of each matrix in this codebook is represented by the location of 6 bit binary number as indicated as below. The order of the 6 bit number is a5 a4 a3 a2 a1 a0. For example, if you set 0 1 0 0 0 0, it means the index 4. If you compare 36.213 Table 7.2-1c and 36.211 Table 6.3.4.2.3-1. You will now the matrix indicated by 010000 is as follows (the matrix marked in yellow cell).

Following table shows a more complicated type of matrix set (Codebook) for the case where you use transmission antenna ports {0,1,2,3} or CSI reference antenna ports {15,16,17,18}. It can represent total 64 different matrix. Just from the table, it would not be easy to know each element values of a matrix. To figure out each matrix element value, you need to go through a couple of additional steps shown in "Codebook selection for Precoding - 4 Antenna Ports" section in precoding page.

 

36.211 Table 6.3.4.2.3-2: Codebook for transmission on antenna ports {0,1,2,3} and for CSI reporting based on antenna ports {0,1,2,3} or {15,16,17,18}

 

Each of the matrix index of the 64 different matrix shown in above table is represented in the location in 64 bitmap binary number as shown below.

Now, we have to figure out which specific bits indicated in 36.213 Table 7.2-1b maps to one specific matrix in 36.211 Table 6.3.4.2.3-1,36.211 Table 6.3.4.2.3-2 or 36.213Table 7.2.4-1, 7.2.4-2, 7.2.4-3, 7.2.4-4, 7.2.4-5, 7.2.4-6, 7.2.4-7, or 7.2.4-8. These mapping is described in 36.213 section 7.2 as shown below. Some of the mapping is obvious, but some of mapping is still confusing to me. When the all matrix in a code book is used for example Transmission Mode 4,6,8 the mapping looks obvious, but when only some of the matrices in the code book(e.g, Transmission Mode 3) is used, the mapping looks confusing.

Most complicated and confusing mapping is for TM9.. and I still need more study to clearly describe this mapping.

Even though you think you understood all the details of each items convered here, you are not sure if you understand what's going on when all those items are put together and interworking each other. As in other case, the best way is Practice, Practice, Practice. If you have chance to create a test case for the CSI operation, you will have pretty deep/clear knowledge. If not, at least try to get some protocol log for CSI report and look into it. If you don't have chance to create the test case nor you don't have access to protocol log, a good alternative is to look into conformance test condition and imagine what would happen at each subframe according to the condition set in each test case.

I would write down RRC message part of CSI related conformance test case and see how much you understand these RRC settings based on what you learned in this page (including all related pages hyperlinked from this page).
