Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A base station may send, to a wireless device, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) comprising a bandwidth part identifier field and a channel state information (CSI) report configuration field. Based on the MAC CE, the wireless device may activate the CSI report configuration for a bandwidth part indicated by the bandwidth part identifier field. The wireless device may transmit one or more CSI reports based on the CSI report configuration.
