Abstract

A UE includes a receiver configured to receive a first configuration for a first CORESET, a second configuration for a reception of a first CSI-RS, and the first CSI-RS. The first configuration includes a first TCI state. The TCI state for a CORESET indicates a set of quasi co-location properties for a PDCCH reception in the CORESET. A PDCCH includes a DCI format. The second configuration includes a first set of REs and the first TCI state. The UE also includes a processor operably connected to the receiver. The processor is configured to compute a first CQI value, based on the first CSI-RS, for a first PDCCH reception in the first CORESET and at least one CQI value based on the first CQI value. The UE further includes a transmitter operably connected to the processor, the transmitter configured to transmit a channel that includes the at least one CQI value.

Claims (57)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving:

information for a number of reference signal (RS) resource sets, wherein a RS resource set, from the number of RS resource sets, includes one or more RS resources, and

RS resources in a first RS resource set from the number of RS resource sets;

determining an absence or presence for a reception of RS using the RS resources in the first RS resource set in a first slot; and

based on the determination being for the presence, receiving or transmitting during a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle,

wherein the DRX cycle starts in a second slot that is after the first slot by a number of slots.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a RS resource, from the RS resources, is a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a channel state information (CSI) report based on the RS resources.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

transmitting a physical layer uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical layer uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that includes the CSI report within an active time of the DRX cycle.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) using a spatial reception parameter within an active time of the DRX cycle, wherein the spatial reception parameter is associated with the first RS resource set.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining the first slot based on a time offset from the second slot, wherein the time offset is indicated by the information.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a periodicity for the number of RS resources sets, wherein the periodicity is an integer multiple of a duration of a long DRX cycle or of a short DRX cycle.

8. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive:

information for a number of reference signal (RS) resource sets, wherein a RS resource set, from the number of RS resource sets, includes one or more RS resources, and

RS resources in a first RS resource set from the number of RS resource sets; and

a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine an absence or presence for a reception of RS using the RS resources in the first RS resource set in a first slot,

wherein, when the determination is for the presence, the transceiver is further configured to receive or transmit during a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, and

wherein the DRX cycle starts in a second slot that is after the first slot by a number of slots.

9. The UE of claim 8 , wherein a RS resource, from the RS resources, is a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource.

10. The UE of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a channel state information (CSI) report based on the RS resources.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit a physical layer uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical layer uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that includes the CSI report within an active time of the DRX cycle.

12. The UE of claim 8 , wherein:

the first RS resource set is associated with a spatial reception parameter, and

the transceiver is further configured to receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) using the spatial reception parameter within an active time of the DRX cycle.

13. The UE of claim 8 , wherein:

the information further includes a time offset, and

the processor is further configured to determine the first slot based on the time offset from the second slot.

14. The UE of claim 8 , wherein:

the processor is further configured to determine a periodicity for the number of RS resources sets, and

the periodicity is an integer multiple of a duration of a long DRX cycle or of a short DRX cycle.

15. A base station (BS) comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit:

information for a number of reference signal (RS) resource sets, wherein a RS resource set, from the number of RS resource sets, includes one or more RS resources, and

RS resources in a first RS resource set from the number of RS resource sets; and

a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to determine an absence or presence for a transmission of RS using the RS resources in the first RS resource set in a first slot,

wherein, when the determination is for the presence, the transceiver is further configured to transmit or receive during a discontinuous reception (DRX) cycle, and

wherein the DRX cycle starts in a second slot that is after the first slot by a number of slots.

16. The base station of claim 15 , wherein a RS resource, from the RS resources, is a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource.

17. The base station of claim 16 , wherein:

the transceiver is further configured to receive a physical layer uplink control channel (PUCCH) or a physical layer uplink shared channel (PUSCH) that includes a channel state information (CSI) report within an active time of the DRX cycle, and

the CSI report is based on the CSI-RS.

18. The base station of claim 15 , wherein:

the first RS resource set is associated with a spatial reception parameter, and

the transceiver is further configured to transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) using the spatial reception parameter within an active time of the DRX cycle.

19. The base station of claim 15 , wherein:

the information further includes a time offset, and

the processor is further configured to determine the first slot based on the time offset from the second slot.

20. The base station of claim 15 , wherein:

the processor is further configured to determine a periodicity for the number of RS resources sets, and

the periodicity is an integer multiple of a duration of a long DRX cycle or of a short DRX cycle.
