Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to transmit configuration information. In at least one embodiment, a processor includes one or more circuits to wirelessly transmit reference signal configuration information corresponding to one or more reference signals.

Claims (24)

1 . One or more processors, comprising:

circuitry to determine a capability of a user equipment (UE) device to use one or more neural networks, identify configuration information corresponding to one or more reference signals based, at least in part, on the determined capability of the user equipment (UE) device to use one or more neural networks, and wirelessly transmit the configuration information from the UE device to a wireless radio network base station.

2 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes one or more indications of one or more user equipment (UE) device reference signal configuration preferences.

3 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes one or more of a preferred channel state information reference signal (CSLRS) configuration, a preferred demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) configuration, a preferred phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) configuration, a preferred sounding reference signal (SRS) configuration, or a preferred positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration.

4 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the capability of the user equipment (UE) device to use one or more neural networks includes a capability to use one or more neural networks to perform one or more of channel estimation or beam prediction.

5 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is to cause one or more reference signal configurations to be selected from a list of reference signal configurations, and wherein the selected one or more reference signal configurations includes the configuration information.

6 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is to cause the user equipment (UE) device to indicate one or more capabilities of providing one or more preferences on reference signal configuration.

7 . The one or more processors of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is to wirelessly transmit the configuration information based, at least in part, on one or more of a change in preference on reference signal configuration, or a received base station request to indicate a preference on reference signal configuration.

8 . A system, comprising:

one or more processors to determine a capability of a user equipment (UE) device to use one or more neural networks, identify configuration information corresponding to one or more reference signals based, at least in part, on the determined capability of the UE device to use one or more neural networks, and wirelessly transmit the configuration information from the UE device to a wireless radio network base station.

9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the capability of the user equipment (UE) device to use one or more neural networks includes a capability to use one or more neural networks to perform channel estimation, and the configuration information includes a preference on a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) configuration.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are to wirelessly transmit the configuration information from the user equipment (UE) device using one or more of radio resource control (RRC), medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC CE), or uplink control information (UCI).

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are to wirelessly transmit the configuration information from the user equipment (UE) device to a wireless radio network base station periodically.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are to start a timer, and do not wirelessly transmit additional configuration information before expiration of the timer.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the configuration information includes one or more of a zero power (ZP) channel state information (CSI) reference signal (CSI-RS) (ZP-CSI-RS) resource configuration, a non-zero power (NZP) CSI-RS (NZP-CSI-RS) resource configuration, a CSI interference measurement (IM) (CSI-IM) resource configuration, or a CSI-RS-CellMobility configuration.

14 . A method, comprising:

determining a capability of a user equipment (UE) device to use one or more neural networks;

identifying configuration information corresponding to one or more reference signals based, at least in part, on the determined capability of the UE device to use one or more neural networks; and

wirelessly transmitting the configuration information from the UE device to a wireless radio network base station.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the capability of the user equipment (UE) device to use one or more neural networks includes a capability to use one or more neural networks to predict one or more beams, and the configuration information includes a preference on a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration.

16 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the configuration information is a first reference signal configuration information, and the method includes wirelessly transmitting a second reference signal configuration information, different from the first reference signal configuration information, based, at least in part, on a change in a user equipment (UE) device preference on reference signal configuration.

17 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the method includes selecting one or more reference signal configurations from a list of reference signal configurations, and wirelessly transmitting the configuration information includes transmitting an indication of the selected one or more reference signal configurations from the user equipment (UE) device to a wireless radio network base station.

18 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the configuration information includes an indication of a preferred channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) configuration.

19 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a set of instructions, which if performed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to at least perform the method of claim 14 .
