DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following description, headings may be used to improve clarity without limiting the combinations of the various disclosed features.
Disclosed are techniques and apparatuses for defining codebooks for coherent joint transmissions (CJT) . The subject matter is described below in a series of examples.
EXAMPLE 1: SD bases, combination coefficient and frequency domain vectors are per channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) port group
The wireless device (i.e the first communication node) determines N CSI-RS port groups configured by gNB or selected by UE. As used herein a wireless device includes a user equipment (UE) , handset, or any other wireless device. The term UE wireless device may replace the term wireless device in this document. The UE can measure the N CSI-RS port groups (N is an integer greater than 1) and get CSI (channel state information) based on the N CSI-RS port groups as shown in FIG. 1. The UE reports the CSI to a base station such as the next generation Node B (gNB) base station. Each CSI-RS port group may correspond to one transmission/reception point (TRP) . The same layers are transmitted by the N TRPs. The gNB may be connected to or include the N TRPs (i.e the third communication node) or the gNB (i.e the second communication node) can be separate from the N TRPs, that is the gNB and the N TRP can be same or different node. In another implement, the third communication node and/or the third communication node can be the other UEs different from the first communication node. In some implement, the first communication can be a gNB such as a IAB (integrated access-backhaul) node.
The CSI includes channel quality index (CQI) , rank indicator (RI) and precoding matrix indicator (PMI) . The CSI also can include CRI (channel resource indicator) to indicate the N CSI-RS port groups selected by the UE. For example, each  CRI corresponds to one set CSI-RS port groups which includes one or more CSI-RS port groups. The CSI includes one CRI to indicate the N CSI-RS port groups. In another implement, each CRI corresponds to one CSI-RS port group. The CSI includes N CRIs. Each CSI-RS port group can be associated with a quasi co-location reference signal (QCL-RS) set. The QCL-RS set includes one or more reference signal resources. The set of QCL-RS may be included in one transmission configuration indication (TCI) state. Each QCL-RS resource is associated with a QCL type.
The CQI and RI are shared by the N CSI-RS port groups, that is the CQI and RI are shared by N sub-precoding matrices of one precoding matrix of the N CSI-RS port group. The CQI and RI are based on the N CSI-RS port groups. The CSI can include one RI. The CSI includes a channel quality indicator (CQI) . If there are multiple CQIs, different CQIs correspond to different codewords, or different frequency domain subbands. Different CQI may not correspond to different CSI-RS port groups.
For calculating the CQI, the UE can assume that physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) signals on v antenna ports for v layers will result in signals equivalent to corresponding symbols transmitted on
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000001
antenna ports of the N CSI-RS port groups as shown in Equation (1) , where T j is the number of CSI-RS ports in the j th CSI-RS port group. The number of CSI-RS ports in different CSI-RS port groups can be same or different. If they are the same, the subscript j in T j can be ignored, that is T j=T
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000002
where w j (r) is the corresponding precoding matrix w j of CSI-RS port group j applicable to x l (r) , l=0, 1, ... v-1. v is the number of layers indicated by the RI. r is a resource index. For example, r is a resource element (RE) index, or a frequency  domain unit index. The signals y j, j=0, 1, ..., N-1, may fully overlap in time and frequency. Each layer of v layers x l (r) , l=0, 1, ... v-1 are transmitted by the N CSI-RS port groups. The CQI is based on the PMI and the RI. The RI corresponds to the PMI. There is no CQI/RI corresponds to each CSI-RS port groups. That is G j (r) =w j (r) x (r) which can be represented by G j=w jxwherein y j (r) can be represented by G j (r) and G jto avoid confusion caused by vector in second vector set Y j
The PMI includes N sub-PMIs each corresponding to one of N sub-precoding matrices w j, j=0, 1, ... N-1 and some information shared by the N CSI-RS port groups. Each of the N sub-PMIs corresponds to one CSI-RS port group. The N sub-PMIs correspond to the N CSI-RS port groups.
For each frequency domain unit of N 3 frequency domain units, the precoding matrix W includes N sub-precoding matrices. Each sub-precoding matrix can be indicated by a sub codebook index. The sub codebook can be indicated by the sub-PMI.
For example, for one frequency domain unit with index t, the precoding matrix of the N CSI-RS port groups includes N sub-precoding matrices. Each of the N sub-precoding matrices corresponds to a subset of CSI-RS ports of the precoding matrix of the N CSI-RS port groups. Each sub-precoding matrix corresponds to one CSI-RS port group, different sub-precoding matrices correspond to different CSI-RS port groups. The number of row of the precoding matrix of the N CSI-RS port groups is total number of CSI-RS ports in the N CSI-RS port groups, such as
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000003
For example, for each frequency domain unit t=0, 1... N 3-1, the precoding matrix W t of the N CSI-RS port groups is as shown in Equation (2) :
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000004
Then, Equation (1) can be represented by Equation (1-1)
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000005
The procedure to report the CSI in this example can follow following steps
Step 1: The UE gets H based on the N CSI-RS port groups, wherein H=[h 0 h 1 … h N-1] . h j, j=0, 1..., N-1 is a channel matrix including R rows and T j columns. h j, j=0, 1..., N-1 is determined according to received signal at the resource of CSI-RS ports in CSI-RS port group j, reference signal of the CSI-RS ports in the CSI-RS port group j and a ratio of EPRE of PDSCH corresponding to CSI-RS ports of CSI-RS port group j to CSI-RS EPRE of CSI-RS port group j. R is the number of receiving antennas at the UE side. T j is the number of CSI-RS ports in the CSI-RS group j. The number of CSI-RS ports across CSI-RS port groups can be the same or different. In the case the number of CSI-RS ports across N CSI-RS port groups are the same. The subscript j in T j can be deleted, that is T j=T. The ration of EPRE used to get the h j, j=0, 1..., N-1can be determined respectively for each j=0, 1..., N-1. For example, each CSI-RS port group corresponds to one CSI-RS resource. Each CSI-RS resource is configured with powerControlOffset. The ration of each CSI-RS port groups can be determined respectively by each powerControlOffset. In another implementation, the ration for all j=0, 1..., N-1. should be a same value, the same value can be got according at least one method:
Method 1: the N CSI-RS resources should be configured same powerControlOffset which is the same value;
Method 2: the N CSI-RS port groups should be in one CSI-RS resource with one powerControlOffset which is the same value; or
Method 3: the N CSI-RS resources can be configured different powerControlOffset, but the same value can be one of powerControlOffset configured for one CSI-RS resources, such as the first one.
Because the CQI, PMI, RI is based on H= [h 0 h 1 … h N-1] . So, for determining the at least one of CQI, PMI, RI should be based on the ration of a ratio of EPRE of PDSCH corresponding to CSI-RS ports of CSI-RS port group j to CSI-RS EPRE of CSI-RS port group j. The ration for different j can be the same or different as described in above.
Step 2: For each frequency domain unit t, the UE gets the ideal precoding matrix
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000006
which includes
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000007
rows and v columns as shown in Equation (3)
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000008
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000009
includes T j rows and v columns. For each layer l, l=0, 1..., v-1, the UE will quantify the
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000010
which corresponds to the l, l=0, 1..., v-1 th column of
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000011
respectively. The
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000012
has format as shown in Equation (4) .
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000013
Each
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000014
is quantified as
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000015
includes two sub vectors
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000016
and
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000017
Each sub vector corresponds to half CSI-RS ports in the CSI-RS port group j. 
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000018
and 
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000019
respectively correspond to the first and second half of the CSI-RS ports in the CSI-RS port group with index j. For each
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000020
the UE gets L j spatial domain vectors 
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000021
 (i.e the first vector set) and M v, j frequency domain vectors y t, l, j. (i.e the second vector set) . The UE gets the 2L j*M v, j coefficients to combine the L j spatial domain vectors
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000022
i=0, 1, ..., L j-1 and M v, j frequency domain vectors y t, l, j, then the UE combines these vector by the 2L j*M v, j coefficients a l, i, f, j, i=0, 1..., 2L-1, f=0, 1, ... M v, j-1 to quantify/proximity the
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000023
as shown in Equation (5) :
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000024
The two sub vector is quantified by same L j spatial domain vectors 
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000025
and M v, j frequency domain vectors y t, f, j. Their combined coefficients a l, i, f, j, are determined respectively. For one frequency domain unit with index t, the y t, f, j is a scalar. But for N 3 frequency domain unit, the y t, f, j is a vector including N 3 elements, where
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000026
and t∈ {0, 1, ... N 3-1} . For one vector y t, f, j
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000027
is fixed.
To feed back the 2L j*M v, j coefficients a l, i, f, j, i=0, 1..., 2L-1, f=0, 1, ... M v, j-1 of each j to gNB, the UE needs to normalize the 2L j*M v, j coefficients a l, i, f, j, i=0, 1..., 2L-1, f=0, 1, ... M v, j-1. Then the UE finds the  maximal coefficient among the 2L j*M v, j coefficients a l, i, f, j, i=0, 1..., 2L-1, f=0, 1, ... M v, j-1 for each j. For example, the maximal value is 
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000028
which can be marked by
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000029
which is the strongest coefficients of CSI-RS port group j. The index of the strongest coefficients
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000030
can be marked by
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000031
and
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000032
corresponds to a spatial domain vector index among the L j spatial frequency domain vectors of CSI-RS port group j. 
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000033
corresponds to a frequency domain vector index among the M v,  j frequency domain vectors y t,  l,  j for CSI-RS port group j. Each of the 2L j*M v,  j coefficients a l,i,  f,  j, i=0, 1..., 2L-1, f=0, 1, ... M v,  j-1 is divided by the strongest coefficient
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000034
such as
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000035
then the strongest coefficient
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000036
has amplitude with value 1 and the other coefficients have amplitude with value smaller than or equal to 1. The strongest coefficient has phase with value 0. The phase and amplitude of
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000037
doesn't need to feedback and the gNB know that
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000038
To improve the quantify performance, the L j*M v, j coefficients of each sub vector
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000039
or
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000040
can be further normalized using maximal amplitude among L j*M v, j normalized amplitudes, such as 
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000041
or

respectively. Then the UE gets

The UE quantifies the remaining 2L j*M v, j-1 coefficient
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000044
according to an quantify table and feedback them to gNB. The amplitude and phase of each of the remaining 2L j*M v, j-1

The maximal value between

and may not need to be fed back. The smaller value between
Figure PCTCN2022078840-appb-000051
should be fed back to the gNB for each j.
In addition, to keep the structure of
