Abstract

A method for a user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by the UE, Downlink Control Information (DCI), the DCI containing an aperiodic channel state information (CSI) reporting configuration. The method also includes when the DCI is received by the UE during a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) operation mode, transmitting, by the UE, an aperiodic CSI report according to a transmission time indicated by the aperiodic CSI reporting configuration regardless of whether the transmission time for the CSI report is within active or non-active time periods of the DRX operation mode.

Claims (24)

1. A method by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

determining when a channel state information (CSI) reporting configuration is received;

determining whether to report CSI on a resource outside a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) active time based on when the CSI reporting configuration is received; and

reporting the CSI multiplexed with other Uplink Control Information (UCI) on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) on the resource outside the DRX active time when the CSI reporting configuration is received during a DRX Active Time.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

dropping the CSI outside the DRX active time when the CSI reporting configuration is not received during the DRX Active time.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending the other UCI on the resource outside the DRX active time without transmitting the CSI when the CSI reporting configuration is not received during the DRX Active time.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resource outside the DRX active time comprises a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI includes at least a report type configuration of semi-persistent reporting on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI is activated during the DRX active time by at least one received Media Access Control (MAC)-Control Element (MAC-CE).

7. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

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

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

determine when a channel state information (CSI) reporting configuration is received;

determine whether to report CSI on a resource outside a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) active time based on when the CSI reporting configuration is received; and

reporting the CSI multiplexed with other Uplink Control Information (UCI) on a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) on the resource outside the DRX active time when the CSI reporting configuration is received during a DRX Active Time.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

drop the CSI outside the DRX active time when the CSI reporting configuration is not received during the DRX Active time.

9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

send the other UCI on the resource outside the DRX active time without transmitting the CSI when the CSI reporting configuration is not received during the DRX Active time.

10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the resource outside the DRX active time comprises a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource.

11. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the CSI includes at least a report type configuration of semi-persistent reporting on a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH).

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein the CSI is activated during the DRX Active Time by at least one received Media Access Control (MAC)-Control Element (MAC-CE).
