Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for configuring semi-persistent CSI-RS resources are provided. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a configuration about a channel state information (CSI) report. The configuration includes information about a CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) burst including B>1 time instances of a CSI-RS transmission. The CSI-RS burst is based on K≥1 CSI-RS resources. The method further includes measuring the CSI-RS burst and identifying a value d, where d is a number of consecutive time instances that are included in a Doppler domain (DD) unit of DD units. The method further includes determining multiple DD basis vectors, where each of the multiple DD basis vectors is associated with N 4 >1 of the DD units and where N 4 is a length of each of the multiple DD basis vectors, and transmitting the CSI report including an indication about the multiple DD basis vectors.

Claims (33)

1 . A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a transceiver configured to receive, from a base station (BS), information configuring a channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the information includes codebook configuration information on a codebook of type II Doppler; and

a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to identify at least one of a Doppler domain (DD) unit duration or a DD basis vector length based on DD configuration information included in the codebook configuration information,

wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit, to the BS, the CSI report based on the codebook configuration information,

wherein, when the CSI report is for an aperiodic (AP) CSI-RS including a plurality of AP CSI-RS resources, the DD unit duration is based on an offset indicated by the DD configuration information,

wherein the offset is between two AP CSI-RS resources in the plurality of AP CSI-RS resources,

wherein the DD unit duration for the AP CSI-RS is two or more,

wherein, when the CSI report is for a periodic (P) or semi-persistent (SP) CSI-RS including one CSI-RS resource, the DD unit duration is based on a periodicity (p) of the P CSI-RS or the SP CSI-RS, and

wherein the DD unit duration for the P CSI-RS or the SP CSI-RS is one.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the DD basis vector length indicates a number of time units for a CSI-RS resource.

3 . A base station (BS) comprising:

a processor; and

a transceiver operably coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), information configuring a channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the information includes codebook configuration information on a codebook of type II Doppler; and

receive, from the UE, the CSI report based on the codebook configuration information,

wherein the codebook configuration information includes Doppler domain (DD) configuration information, and

wherein at least one of a DD unit duration or a DD basis vector length is based on the DD configuration information,

wherein, when the CSI report is for an aperiodic (AP) CSI-RS including a plurality of AP CSI-RS resources, the DD unit duration is based on an offset indicated by the DD configuration information,

wherein the offset is between two AP CSI-RS resources in the plurality of AP CSI-RS resources,

wherein the DD unit duration for the AP CSI-RS is two or more,

wherein, when the CSI report is for a periodic (P) or semi-persistent (SP) CSI-RS including one CSI-RS resource, the DD unit duration is based on a periodicity (p) of the P CSI-RS or the SP CSI-RS, and

wherein the DD unit duration for the P CSI-RS or the SP CSI-RS is one.

4 . The BS of claim 3 , wherein the DD basis vector length indicates a number of time units for a CSI-RS resource.

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

receiving, from a base station (BS), information configuring a channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the information includes codebook configuration information on a codebook of type II Doppler;

identifying at least one of a Doppler domain (DD) unit duration or a DD basis vector length based on DD configuration information included in the codebook configuration information; and

transmitting, to the BS, the CSI report based on the codebook configuration information,

wherein, when the CSI report is for an aperiodic (AP) CSI-RS including a plurality of AP CSI-RS resources, the DD unit duration is based on an offset indicated by the DD configuration information,

wherein the offset is between two AP CSI-RS resources in the plurality of AP CSI-RS resources,

wherein the DD unit duration for the AP CSI-RS is two or more,

wherein, when the CSI report is for a periodic (P) CSI-RS or semi-persistent (SP) CSI-RS including one CSI-RS resource, the DD unit duration is based on a periodicity (p) of the P CSI-RS or the SP CSI-RS, and

wherein the DD unit duration for the P CSI-RS or the SP CSI-RS is one.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the DD basis vector length indicates a number of time units for a CSI-RS resource.
