5G/NR - CSI RS Home : www.sharetechnote.com

As in LTE CSI, NR CSI (Channel Status Information) is a mechanism that a UE measure various radio channel quality and report the result to Network(gNB).

There are pretty complicated factors involved in CSI operation, but this page would focus on CSI signal generation and Resource Mapping. Other CSI operation procedure will be explained in other page.

For most of LTE case, we don't need any special signal for CSI since we used Cell Specific Reference Signal. However, from LTE TM9 we stared using a special reference signal for CSI. So if you have some understandings on LTE CSI Reference signal in TM9 or higher, it would be relatively easier for you to understand this page even if NR CSI RS(Reference Signal) is constructed more complicated way comparing to LTE CSI RS.

Sequence Generation and Resource Mapping

As you may notice in the following equation, NR CSI is based on Pseudo Random Sequence. Then this sequence is multipied by sepcially designed weighting sequence in both time domain and frequency domain and than scaled by power scaling factor. And then this sequence is mapped to a set of specific resource elements in Resource Grid. All of these process can be summarized as follows and so many factors are involved in this procedure.

If you are not the physical layer developer who need to implement this part, you don't need to go through this to the full details, but it will be beneficial to pay attention to various parameters (especially RRC parameters) involved in this process.

Tables for Resource Element Mapping

< 38.211-Table 7.4.1.5.3-1: CSI-RS locations within a slot. >

The reference location of CSI-RS in time domain is determined by RRC layer as below.

= CSI-RS-ResourceMapping.firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain

= CSI-RS-ResourceMapping.firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain2

The reference location of CSI-RS in frequency domain (k1,k2,k3) is determined by RRC layer as below

f(i) is the bit number of the i th bit in the bitmap(CSI-RS-ResourceMapping.frequencyDomainAllocation) set to one, repeated across every 1/density.

Ports, Density, cdm-Type are specified by following RRC parameters

Ports = CSI-RS-ResourceMapping.nrofPorts
cdm-Type = CSI-RS-ResourceMapping.cdm-Type
Density = CSI-RS-ResourceMapping.density

Tables for CDM Sequence Generation

CDM table is used for CSI-RS signal generation as shown below.

Each element values of CDM tables are specified in 38.211 as shown below.

< 38.211 - Table 7.4.1.5.3-2: The sequences wf(k) f and wt(l) for cdm-Type equal to 'no CDM'. >

< 38.211 - Table 7.4.1.5.3-3: The sequences wf(k) f and wt(l) for cdm-Type equal to 'FD-CDM2'. >

< 38.211 - Table 7.4.1.5.3-4: The sequences wf(k) f and wt(l) for cdm-Type equal to 'CDM4'. >

NOTE : The above resource mapping is showing the CSI-RS for all antenna ports (8 ports in this case) superimposed in one resource grid. In real transmission, these resources are devided among the 8 CSI-RS antenna ports. How they are splitted among each CSI-RS antenna port is specified in 38.211 section 7.4.1.5.3. Applying the logic in the spec to this example, the antenna port distribution become as follows.

Since this example is using FD-CDM2, it is assumed that 's' is determined by the index value of the following table and 'L' becomes 2. N is given in this example (38.211-Table 7.4.1.5.3-1) is 8.

< 38.211 - Table 7.4.1.5.3-3: The sequences wf(k) f and wt(l) for cdm-Type equal to 'FD-CDM2'. >

Based on this information, j and s can be calculated as follows.

s = 0,1 (index of Table 7.4.1.5.3-3)

j = 0,1,...,N/L-1 = 0,1,...,(8/2-1) = 0,1,2,3

Now we can calculate the antenna port as follows.

p = 3000 + s + j L , where s = {0,1}, j = {0,1,2,3}

= 3000 + {0,1} + {0,1,2,3} 2

= {3000, 3002, 3004, 3006, 3001, 3003, 3005, 3007}

NOTE : I posted Matlab simulation for this case showing the resource mapping for each antenna port on this note.

Since this example is using FD-CDM2, it is assumed that 's' is determined by the index value of the following table and 'L' becomes 2. N is given in this example (38.211-Table 7.4.1.5.3-1) is 8.

How UE figure out which CSI-RS the network is using ?

When Network allocate the CSI-RS, it selects a specific row from 38.211-Table 7.4.1.5.3-1 and fill in a set of resource elements with the specific signal. This part would be straightforward.. the challenging part is how UE can figure out which CSI-RS the gNB(Network) is using.

The answer is that Network informs UE of all the details of CSI-RS via RRC message. Let's look into what kind of RRC parameters get involved in this process.

How to determine CSI-RS port and cdm (in Row number of 38.211 Table 7.4.1.5.3-1) ?

: This is specified by nrofPorts and cdm-Type in CSI-RS-ResourceMapping as shown below.

CSI-RS-ResourceMapping ::= SEQUENCE {

How to determine REs(Resource Elements) for the selected CSI-RS ?

: This is configured by (k_bar, l_bar) column and frequencyDomainAllocation and firstOFDMSymbolInTimeDomain of CSI-RS-ResourceMapping as shown below.

CSI-RS-ResourceMapping ::= SEQUENCE {

...

}

CSI-FrequencyOccupation ::= SEQUENCE {

startingRB INTEGER (0..maxNrofPhysicalResourceBlocks-1),

nrofRBs INTEGER (24..maxNrofPhysicalResourceBlocksPlus1),

...

}

startingRB : PRB where this CSI resource starts in relation to common resource block #0 (CRB#0) on the common resource block grid. Only multiples of 4 are allowed (0, 4, ...)

nrofRBs : Number of PRBs across which this CSI resource spans. Only multiples of 4 are allowed. The smallest configurable number is the minimum of 24 and the width of the associated BWP. If the configured value is larger than the width of the corresponding BWP, the UE shall assume that the actual CSI-RS bandwidth is equal to the width of the BWP.

Combining thse two, we come come up with an example as shown below.

How to figure out what kind of (Logical) Antenna Configuration Network is using ?

: This is another complicated story and is explained in a separate page here.

CSI RS Transmission Timing

CSI Transmission Timing in slot is determined by RRC parameter CSI-ResourcePeriodicityAndOffset based on following equation.

Resource for Interference Measurement (CSI-IM)

CSI IM resource is a set of specific resource elements reserved for Interference Measurement. This resources are configurable by RRC message. The frequency and time domain location is defined in 38.214 - 5.2.2.4 as illustrated below.

38.331 defines trs-Info as follows.

trs-Info : Indicates that the antenna port for all NZP-CSI-RS resources in the CSI-RS resource set is same. If the field is absent or released the UE applies the value false

38.214-5.2.2.3.1 provies additional information as follows :

trs-Info in NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet is associated with a CSI-RS resource set and for which the UE can assume that the antenna port with the same port index of the configured NZP CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RSResourceSet is the same as described in Subclause 5.1.6.1.1 and can be configured when reporting setting is not configured or when the higher layer parameter reportQuantity associated with all the reporting settings linked with the CSI-RS resource set is set to 'none'.

38.214-5.1.6.1.1 specifies the condition about how multiple csi-rs is grouped into a trs as stated below.

For a NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet configured with the higher layer parameter trs-Info, the UE shall assume the antenna

port with the same port index of the configured NZP CSI-RS resources in the NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet is the same. For frequency range 1(FR1), the UE may be configured with one or more NZP CSI-RS set(s), where a NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet consists of four periodic NZP CSI-RS resources in two consecutive slots with two periodic NZP CSI-RS resources in each slot.

For frequency range 2(FR2) the UE may be configured with one or more NZP CSI-RS set(s), where a NZP-CSI-RSResourceSet consists of two periodic CSI-RS resources in one slot or with a NZP-CSI-RS-ResourceSet of four periodic NZP CSI-RS resources in two consecutive slots with two periodic NZP CSI-RS resources in each slot.

RRC Parameters for CSI RS

The hierarchy to configure CSI-RS is pretty complicated. Overall hierachy (procedure) to configure CSI-RS can be described as follows.

i) Configure CRS-RS resource element within single RB via CSI-RS-ResourceMapping

ii) Configure the RB locations(Start RB and N_RB) in frequency domain via CSI-RS-ResourceMapping.freqBand

iii) Configure the periodicity and offset of CSI-RS in time domain via ZP-CSI-RS-Resource and/or NZP-CSI-RS-Resource

iv) Apply the whole setting(i, ii, iii) via PDSCH-Config or/and CSI-MeasConfig
