Abstract

A method of channel state information (CSI) reporting by a first user equipment (UE) is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, from a base station (BS), a radio resource control (RRC) message to configure a first priority level for a logical channel; performing a sidelink (SL) communication with a second UE; generating a Medium Access Control (MAC) control element (CE) for a CSI report for the SL communication with a second priority level in a fixed value; determining a prioritization between the MAC CE including the CSI report and data from the logical channel according to the fixed value of the second priority level and the first priority level; and transmitting, to the second UE or the BS, at least one of the MAC CE and the data from the logical channel based on the determined prioritization.

Claims (30)

1. A method for channel state information (CSI) reporting performed by a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), a radio resource control (RRC) message to configure a first priority level for a logical channel, wherein the first priority level for the logical channel is associated with a resource pool;

performing a sidelink (SL) communication with a second UE;

generating a Medium Access Control (MAC) control element (CE) to include a CSI report for the SL communication with a second priority level that is a fixed value;

determining a prioritization between the MAC CE including the CSI report and data from the logical channel according to the fixed value of the second priority level and the first priority level associated with the resource pool; and

transmitting, to the second UE or the BS, at least one of the MAC CE and the data from the logical channel based on the determined prioritization.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fixed value of the second priority level of the CSI report is set to different values according to CSI parameters included in the CSI report.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the CSI parameters include a rank indicator (RI) and a channel quality indicator (CQI).

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fixed value of the second priority level of the CSI report is set to different values according to a quantity of CSI parameters included in the CSI report.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fixed value of the second priority level of the CSI report is set to different values according to a MAC CE format for the CSI report.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data from the logical channel includes SL data and uplink (UL) data.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fixed value of the second priority level is set to a default value indicating a highest priority level or a lowest priority level.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the prioritization is determined based on a highest priority level or a lowest priority level.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first priority level is associated with a channel busy ratio (CBR) of the resource pool.

10. A first user equipment (UE) for reporting channel state information (CSI), the first UE comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the UE to:

receive, from a base station (BS), a radio resource control (RRC) message to configure a first priority level for a logical channel, wherein the first priority level for the logical channel is associated with a resource pool;

perform a sidelink (SL) communication with a second UE;

generate a Medium Access Control (MAC) control element (CE) to include a CSI report for the SL communication with a second priority level that is a fixed value;

determine a prioritization between the MAC CE including the CSI report and data from the logical channel according to the fixed value of the second priority level and the first priority level associated with the resource pool; and

transmit, to the second UE or the BS, at least one of the MAC CE and the data from the logical channel based on the determined prioritization.

11. The first UE of claim 10 , wherein the fixed value of the second priority level of the CSI report is set to different values according to CSI parameters included in the CSI report.

12. The first UE of claim 11 , wherein the CSI parameters include a rank indicator (RI) and a channel quality indicator (CQI).

13. The first UE of claim 10 , wherein the fixed value of the second priority level of the CSI report is set to different values according to a quantity of CSI parameters included in the CSI report.

14. The first UE of claim 10 , wherein the fixed value of the second priority level of the CSI report is set to different values according to a MAC CE format for the CSI report.

15. The first UE of claim 10 , wherein the data from the logical channel includes SL data and uplink (UL) data.

16. The first UE of claim 10 , wherein the fixed value is set to a default value indicating a highest priority level or a lowest priority level.

17. The first UE of claim 10 , wherein the prioritization is determined based on a highest priority level or a lowest priority level.

18. The first UE of claim 10 , wherein the first priority level is associated with a channel busy ratio (CBR) of the resource pool.
