Abstract

A method for reporting Channel State Information (CSI) is provided. The method includes receiving, by a User Equipment (UE), a CSI reporting configuration from a base station on a first BWP; receiving, by the UE, a first BWP switch indication from the base station to change the first BWP to a second BWP; receiving, by the UE, a second BWP switch indication from the base station to switch from an active BWP of the UE back to the first BWP; and sending, by the UE, a CSI report based on the CSI reporting configuration in a case that the UE receives a CSI reporting activation command from the base station after receiving the second BWP indication.

Claims (14)

1. A method for reporting Channel State Information (CSI), the method comprising:

receiving, by a User Equipment (UE), a CSI reporting configuration via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message comprising a plurality of trigger states from a base station on a first Bandwidth Part (BWP), one of the plurality of trigger states being associated with the CSI reporting configuration;

reserving, by the UE, the CSI reporting configuration during a BWP switch operation including:

receiving, by the UE, a first BWP switch indication from the base station to change the first BWP to a second BWP; and

receiving, by the UE, a second BWP switch indication from the base station to switch from an active BWP of the UE back to the first BWP; and

sending, by the UE, a CSI report based on the CSI reporting configuration in a case that the UE receives a CSI reporting activation command via Downlink Control Information (DCI) from the base station after receiving the second BWP switch indication, the CSI reporting activation command comprising an indication of the one of the plurality of trigger states associated with the CSI reporting configuration.

2. A User Equipment (UE) comprising:

one or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon;

at least one processor coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive a Channel State Information (CSI) reporting configuration via a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message comprising a plurality of trigger states from a base station on a first Bandwidth Part (BWP), one of the plurality of trigger states being associated with the CSI reporting configuration;

reserve the CSI reporting configuration during a BWP switch operation including:

receive a first BWP switch indication from the base station to change the first BWP to a second BWP; and

receive a second BWP switch indication from the base station to switch from an active BWP of the UE back to the first BWP; and

send a CSI report based on the CSI reporting configuration in a case that the UE receives a CSI reporting activation command via Downlink Control Information (DCI) from the base station after receiving the second BWP switch indication, the CSI reporting activation command comprising an indication of the one of the plurality of trigger states associated with the CSI reporting configuration.
