Abstract
A method of channel measurement for intelligent reflecting surface assisted wireless network and a base station (BS) using the same method are provided. The method includes: transmitting a measurement configuration comprising mode information of an intelligent reflecting surface to a user equipment; receiving a measurement report corresponding to the measurement configuration from the user equipment, wherein the measurement report corresponds to a channel between the user equipment and the intelligent reflecting surface; and outputting a command according to the measurement report.
Claims21
A method of channel measurement for intelligent reflecting surface assisted wireless network, adapted to a base station, comprising:
- transmitting a measurement configuration comprising mode information of an intelligent reflecting surface to a user equipment, wherein the mode information comprises a pattern of a plurality of intelligent reflecting surface operation modes, the plurality of intelligent reflecting surface operation modes comprise a first intelligent reflecting surface operation mode corresponding to a first measurement time and a second intelligent reflecting surface operation mode corresponding to a second measurement time;
- receiving a measurement report corresponding to the measurement configuration from the user equipment, wherein the measurement report corresponds to a channel between the user equipment and the intelligent reflecting surface, the measurement report is associated with a first channel quality of the channel corresponding to the first intelligent reflecting surface operation mode obtained during the first measurement time and a second channel quality of the channel corresponding to the second intelligent reflecting surface operation mode obtained during the second measurement time;
- and
- outputting a command according to the measurement report, wherein the command indicates to configure one of the first intelligent reflecting surface operation mode and the second intelligent reflecting surface operation mode on the intelligent reflecting surface.
A base station for intelligent reflecting surface assisted wireless network, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor coupled to the transceiver and configured to:
- transmit a measurement configuration comprising mode information of an intelligent reflecting surface to a user equipment, wherein the mode information comprises a pattern of a plurality of intelligent reflecting surface operation modes, the plurality of intelligent reflecting surface operation modes comprise a first intelligent reflecting surface operation mode corresponding to a first measurement time and a second intelligent reflecting surface operation mode corresponding to a second measurement time;
- receive a measurement report corresponding to the measurement configuration from the user equipment, wherein the measurement report corresponds to a channel between the user equipment and the intelligent reflecting surface, the measurement report is associated with a first channel quality of the channel corresponding to the first intelligent reflecting surface operation mode obtained during the first measurement time and a second channel quality of the channel corresponding to the second intelligent reflecting surface operation mode obtained during the second measurement time;
- and
- output a command according to the measurement report, wherein the command indicates to configure one of the first intelligent reflecting surface operation mode and the second intelligent reflecting surface operation mode on the intelligent reflecting surface.
