Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel state information (CSI) reporting based on user equipment (UE) parameters. A method that may be performed by a UE includes receiving a configuration to report aperiodic CSI. The method generally includes determining, based on one or more parameters, to send a first report including hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback and not CSI feedback or a second report including HARQ feedback and CSI feedback. The method generally includes sending the first report or the second report based on the determination.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to, individually or collectively, cause the apparatus to receive an indication via downlink control information (DCI) to enable or disable the dynamic CSI reporting.

10 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the semi-static signaling further indicates a number of downlink grants or a number of time slots for the dynamic CSI reporting.

11 .

12 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to, individually or collectively, cause the apparatus to:

determine a decrease of a rank of a current physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

send the rank of the current PDSCH and a channel quality indicator (CQI) per rank.

13 . An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:

memory comprising computer executable code;

one or more processors configured to, individually or collectively, execute the computer executable code and cause the apparatus to:

send a grant triggering a user equipment (UE) to report aperiodic channel state information (CSI);

receive a report, from the UE, including a report type indicator that indicates the report is of a first report type including hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback and not aperiodic CSI feedback or is of a second report type including the HARQ feedback and the aperiodic CSI feedback; and

process a report from the UE based on the indicated report type.

14 .
