Abstract

A user equipment (UE) receives downlink communication that triggers a channel state information (CSI) report. Then the UE determines whether to report CSI together with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback. Then the UE transmits the CSI and the HARQ feedback based on the determining whether to report the CSI together with the HARQ feedback.
