Abstract

Method, systems and devices for direct and active channel state information, CSI, report configuration are provided. The method comprises: receiving a message containing a CSI report configuration for a serving cell at a user equipment, UE; and activating the CSI report configuration for the serving cell by the UE when a predetermined event occurs.

Claims (30)

1. A method for time-frequency synchronization signaling in SCell activation, comprising:

receiving a message for configuring a tracking reference signal (TRS) resource for SCell activation for configuring a TRS for SCell activation as a time-frequency synchronization signal; and

configuring the TRS for SCell activation as the time-frequency synchronization signal,

wherein the TRS resource is an aperiodic TRS resource,

wherein the SCell is activated by a MAC CE and the aperiodic TRS is triggered by the MAC CE, and

wherein the aperiodic TRS is triggered in slot n1 and the aperiodic TRS is detected in slot n1+X, wherein X is an offset configured by a RRC message or defined by a protocol.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting the aperiodic TRS with a transmission power which has a fix relationship with a transmission power used for transmitting a SSB in the same cell.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an indication of a transmission power of the aperiodic TRS, wherein the indication comprises a power value or a power offset to a transmission of a SSB in the same cell.

4. A method for time-frequency synchronization signaling in SCell activation, comprising:

sending a message configuring a tracking reference signal (TRS) resource for SCell activation for configuring a TRS for SCell activation as a time-frequency synchronization signal,

wherein the TRS resource is an aperiodic TRS resource,

wherein the SCell is activated by a MAC CE and the aperiodic TRS is triggered by the MAC CE, and

wherein the aperiodic TRS is triggered in slot n1 and the aperiodic TRS is transmitted in slot n1+X, wherein X is an offset configured by a RRC message or defined by a protocol.

5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:

transmitting the aperiodic TRS with a transmission power which has a fix relationship with a transmission power used for transmitting a SSB in the same cell.

6. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:

indicating a transmission power of the aperiodic TRS, wherein the indication comprises a power value or a power offset to a transmission of a SSB in the same cell.

7. A wireless communications apparatus comprising a processor and a receiver,

wherein the receiver is configured to receive a message for configuring a tracking reference signal (TRS) resource for SCell activation for configuring a TRS for SCell activation as a time-frequency synchronization signal, and

wherein the processor is configured to configure the TRS for SCell activation as the time-frequency synchronization signal,

wherein the TRS resource is an aperiodic TRS resource,

wherein the SCell is activated by a MAC CE and the aperiodic TRS is triggered by the MAC CE, and

wherein the aperiodic TRS is triggered in slot n1 and the aperiodic TRS is detected in slot n1+X, wherein X is an offset configured by a RRC message or defined by a protocol.

8. The wireless communications apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the receiver is further configured to detect the aperiodic TRS with a transmission power which has a fix relationship with a transmission power used for transmitting a SSB in the same cell.

9. The wireless communications apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the receiver is further configured to receive an indication of a transmission power of the aperiodic TRS, wherein the indication comprises a power value or a power offset to a transmission of a SSB in the same cell.

10. A base station apparatus comprising a transmitter, wherein the transmitter is configured to send a message configuring a tracking reference signal (TRS) resource for SCell activation for configuring a TRS for SCell activation as a time-frequency synchronization signal, wherein the TRS resource is an aperiodic TRS resource, wherein the SCell is activated by a MAC CE and the aperiodic TRS is triggered by a MAC CE, and wherein the aperiodic TRS is triggered in slot n1 and the aperiodic TRS is transmitted in slot n1+X, wherein X is an offset configured by a RRC message or defined by a protocol.

11. The base station apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit the aperiodic TRS with a transmission power which has a fix relationship with a transmission power used for transmitting a SSB in the same cell.

12. The base station apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the transmitter is further configured to indicate a transmission power of the aperiodic TRS, wherein the indication comprises a power value or a power offset to a transmission of a SSB in the same cell.
