Abstract

Channel state information (CSI) reporting may be used for wireless communications. CSI reporting may be activated or deactivated. During the activation of CSI reporting and based on one or more criteria, a scheduled uplink transmission may be selected.

Claims (131)

dropping the scheduled transmission of the at least one SP CSI report; and

transmitting the at least one transport block via at least one resource indicated by the uplink grant.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dropping the scheduled transmission and the transmitting the at least one transport block are further based on at least one of:
