Abstract

Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for channel state information (CSI) reporting for selected bandwidth parts is disclosed. The UE can be configured to decode CSI reporting parameters for one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs). The UE can be configured to calculate CSI for the one or more BWPs based on measurements from the one or more BWPs and the CSI reporting parameters for the one or more BWPs. The UE can be configured to generate one or more CSI reports for the one or more BWPs based on measurements from the one or more BWPs and the CSI reporting parameters for the one or more BWPs. The UE can be configured to encode the one or more CSI reports using the one or more BWPs.

Claims (55)

1. An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) operable for channel state information (CSI) reporting, the apparatus comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

decode, at the UE, CSI reporting settings to configure the UE to calculate CSI to generate two or more CSI reports;

determine, at the UE, a subset of the two or more CSI reports, wherein the subset of the two or more CSI reports has a maximum payload size that is less than an available payload size, wherein the subset is selected according to a predetermined rule; and

encode, at the UE for transmission to a next generation node B (gNB), the subset of the two or more CSI reports; and

a memory interface configured to send the subset of the two or more CSI reports to a memory.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

decode, at the UE, CSI reporting settings to configure the UE to calculate CSI to generate the two or more CSI reports, wherein each CSI reporting setting is associated with a single downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP).

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

decode, at the UE, downlink control information (DCI) that includes a trigger for aperiodic CSI reporting for one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs).

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

decode, at the UE, DCI that indicates an active BWP, wherein the active BWP is configured to provide CSI reporting.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

decode, at the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) signal that includes information indicating a single downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) associated with each CSI reporting setting.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

decode, at the UE, downlink control information (DCI) that includes a trigger for semi-persistent CSI reporting for an active bandwidth part (BWP).

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

select, at the UE, the subset of the two or more CSI reports according to the predetermined rule, wherein the predetermined rule is based on a serving cell index.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

select, at the UE, the subset of the two or more CSI reports according to the predetermined rule, wherein the predetermined rule is based on an index of a CSI reporting setting.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the UE includes an antenna, a touch sensitive display screen, a speaker, a microphone, a graphics processor, an application processor, an internal memory, a non-volatile memory port, or combinations thereof.

10. An apparatus of a next generation node B (gNB) operable for channel state information (CSI) reporting, the apparatus comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

encode, at the gNB, CSI reporting settings to configure a user equipment (UE) to calculate CSI to generate two or more CSI reports;

encode, at the gNB, two or more CSI reports, wherein a subset of the two or more CSI reports has a maximum payload size that is less than an available payload size, wherein the subset is selected at the UE according to a predetermined rule;

decode, at the gNB, the subset of the two or more CSI reports; and

a memory interface configured to send the subset of the two or more CSI reports to a memory.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

encode, at the gNB, CSI reporting settings to configure the UE to calculate CSI to generate the two or more CSI reports, wherein each CSI reporting setting is associated with a single downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP).

12. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

encode, at the gNB, downlink control information (DCI) that includes a trigger for aperiodic CSI reporting for one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs).

13. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

encode, at the gNB, DCI that indicates an active BWP, wherein the active BWP is configured to provide CSI reporting.

14. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

encode, at the gNB, a radio resource control (RRC) signal that includes information indicating a single downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) associated with each CSI reporting setting.

15. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

encode, at the gNB, downlink control information (DCI) that includes a trigger for semi-persistent CSI reporting for an active bandwidth part (BWP).

16. At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon for channel state information (CSI) reporting, the instructions when executed by one or more processors at a user equipment (UE) perform the following:

decoding, at the UE, CSI reporting settings to configure the UE to calculate CSI to generate two or more CSI reports;

determining, at the UE, a subset of the two or more CSI reports, wherein the subset of the two or more CSI reports has a maximum payload size that is less than an available payload size, wherein the subset is selected according to a predetermined rule; and

encoding, at the UE for transmission to a next generation node B (gNB), the subset of the two or more CSI reports.

17. The at least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 16 , further comprising instructions that when executed perform:

decoding, at the UE, CSI reporting settings to configure the UE to calculate CSI to generate the two or more CSI reports, wherein each CSI reporting setting is associated with a single downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP).

18. The at least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 16 , further comprising instructions that when executed perform:

decoding, at the UE, downlink control information (DCI) that includes a trigger for aperiodic CSI reporting for one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs).

19. The at least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 16 , further comprising instructions that when executed perform:

decoding, at the UE, DCI that indicates an active BWP, wherein the active BWP is configured to provide CSI reporting.

20. The at least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium of claim 16 , further comprising instructions that when executed perform:

decoding, at the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) signal that includes information indicating a single downlink (DL) bandwidth part (BWP) associated with each CSI reporting setting.
