Abstract

Embodiments are directed to techniques to implement full power transmission in a user equipment (UE). An embodiment of a user equipment (UE) comprises an antenna array comprising a plurality of antenna elements, and a processor to cause the UE to establish a communication connection with a network entity; cause the UE to transmit, to the network entity, at least one of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) capability indicator, a beam switch timing capability indicator, or a cross carrier scheduling capability indicator.

Claims (24)

1. A baseband processor comprising:

memory having instructions; and

a processor, coupled with the memory, the processor to execute the instructions to:

establish a communication connection with a network entity; and

generate a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) capability report to be transmitted to the network entity, the CSI-RS capability report to indicate a supported parameter sets for a band combination,

wherein the supported parameter set includes a first parameter to indicate a number of supported transmit antenna ports per channel state information (CSI) resource within the band combination, a second parameter to indicate a number of supported CSI resources within the band combination, and a third parameter to indicate a total number of supported transmit antenna ports within the band combination.

2. The baseband processor of claim 1 , wherein the number of supported transmit antenna ports per CSI resource is a maximum number of supported transmit antenna ports per CSI resource, the number of supported CSI resources is a maximum number of supported CSI resources, and the total number of supported transmit antenna ports is a maximum total number of supported transmit antenna ports.

3. The baseband processor of claim 1 , wherein the supported parameter set is for a first codebook type.

4. The UE-baseband processor of claim 3 , wherein the supported parameter set is a first supported parameter set and the CSI-RS capability report further includes a second supported parameter set that is for a second codebook type.

5. The baseband processor of claim 4 , wherein the first codebook type is associated with one precoding matrix indicator (PMI) subband per CSI subband and the second codebook type is associated with two PMI subbands per CSI subband.

6. One or more non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause an apparatus to:

establish a communication connection with a network entity; and

generate a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) capability report to be transmitted to the network entity, the CSI-RS capability report to indicate a supported parameter set for a band combination,

wherein the supported parameter set includes a first parameter to indicate a number of supported transmit antenna ports per channel state information (CSI) resource within the band combination, a second parameter to indicate a number of supported CSI resources within the band combination, and a third parameter to indicate a total number of supported transmit antenna ports within the band combination.

7. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 6 , wherein the number of supported transmit antenna ports per CSI resource is a maximum number of supported transmit antenna ports per CSI resource, the number of supported CSI resources is a maximum number of supported CSI resources, and the total number of supported transmit antenna ports is a maximum total number of supported transmit antenna ports.

8. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 6 , wherein the supported parameter set is for a first codebook type.

9. The one or more non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein: the supported parameter set is a first supported parameter set, the CSI-RS capability report further includes a second supported parameter set for a second codebook type; and the first codebook type is associated with one precoding matrix indicator (PMI) subband per CSI subband and the second codebook type is associated with two PMI subbands per CSI subband.

10. A method comprising:

establishing a communication connection with a user equipment (UE); and

receiving, from the UE, a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) capability report to indicate a supported parameter set for a band combination,

wherein the supported parameter set includes a first parameter to indicate a number of supported transmit antenna ports per channel state information (CSI) resource within the band combination, a second parameter to indicate a number of supported CSI resources within the band combination, and a third parameter to indicate a total number of supported transmit antenna ports within the band combination.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the number of supported transmit antenna ports per CSI resource is a maximum number of supported transmit antenna ports per CSI resource, the number of supported CSI resources is a maximum number of supported CSI resources, and the total number of supported transmit antenna ports is a maximum total number of supported transmit antenna ports.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the supported parameter set is for a first codebook type.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein: the supported parameter set is a first supported parameter set, and the CSI-RS capability report is to further indicate a second supported parameter sets for a second codebook type; and the first codebook type is associated with one precoding matrix indicator (PMI) subband per CSI subband and the second codebook type is associated with two PMI subbands per CSI subband.
