Abstract

Aspects relate to reporting channel state information. A base station may configure a user equipment to measure channel state information reference signals associated with full-duplex communication and channel state information reference signals associated with half-duplex communication. In response, the user equipment may report first channel state information associated with the full-duplex communication and second channel state information associated with the half-duplex communication. In some examples, the user equipment reports the second channel state information as a differential relative to the first channel state information. In some examples, the user equipment reports the first channel state information as a differential relative to the second channel state information.
