Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for supporting periodic and SP reporting on PUCCH. One method may include a UE receiving, from a network entity, at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration via radio resource configuration; receiving, from the network entity, at least one control message configured to activate or deactivate at least one of the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration, and transmitting, to the network entity, L1 measurement reporting according to at least one of the at least one control message.

Claims (35)

1 . An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:

receive, from a network entity via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, at least one layer 1/2 triggered mobility (LTM) channel state information (CSI) reporting configuration and at least one serving cell CSI reporting configuration;

receive, from the network entity, at least one control message configured to activate or deactivate at least one of the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration or at least one of the at least one serving cell CSI reporting configuration, wherein the at least one control message comprises a bit field for indicating whether the at least one control message is for an LTM CSI reporting or for a serving cell CSI reporting; and

based on the bit field indicating that the at least one control message is for the LTM CSI reporting, transmit, to the network entity, layer 1 measurement reporting according to the at least one of the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration comprises at least one parameter configuring inclusion, in the L1 measurement reporting, of at least one measurement result according to at least one of the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the at least one included measurement result comprises at least one primary cell measurement.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the control message comprises at least one field configuring inclusion, in the L1 measurement reporting, of at least one measurement result according to at least one of the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one control message comprises at least one of a serving cell/layer 1/2 triggered mobility field or logical channel identifier.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one control message comprises at least one of a medium access control element or downlink control information command.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one control message is configured to deactivate the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration, and wherein the at least one memory and the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus to at least one of:

suspend at least one serving cell CSI reporting configuration; or

deactivate at least one serving cell CSI reporting configuration.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the activation of at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration further comprises the at least one memory and the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, to further cause the apparatus at least to:

determine to continue or activate at least one previously suspended or deactivated serving cell CSI reporting configuration.

9 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is configured for semi-persistent LTM CSI reporting on physical uplink control channel, and the LTM CSI reporting configuration identifier is configured to update and activate the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration.

10 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user equipment is configured for semi-persistent (SP) LTM CSI reporting on physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and the LTM CSI reporting configuration identifier is configured to update and activate the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration.

11 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory and the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus at least to:

receive, from the network entity, one or more LTM CSI reporting configurations via radio resource configuration comprising at least one parameter associated with inclusion of one or more measurement results in the measurement report of the one or more reporting configurations;

determine to update the information on inclusion of one or more measurement results based on the indication; and

update at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration.

12 . An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:

transmit, to a user equipment via radio resource control (RRC) signaling, at least one layer 1/2 triggered mobility (LTM) channel state information (CSI) reporting configuration and at least one serving cell CSI reporting configuration;

transmit, to the user equipment, at least one control message configured to activate or deactivate at least one of the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration or at least one of the at least one serving cell CSI reporting configuration, wherein the at least one control message comprises a bit field for indicating whether the control message is for an LTM CSI reporting or for a serving cell CSI reporting; and

based on the bit field indicating that the at least one control message is for the LTM CSI reporting, receive, from the user equipment, layer 1 measurement reporting according to the at least one of the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration.

13 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration comprises at least one parameter configuring inclusion, in the L1 measurement reporting, of at least one measurement result according to at least one of the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration.

14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the at least one included measurement result comprises at least one primary cell measurement.

15 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one control message comprises at least one field configuring inclusion, in the L1 measurement reporting, of at least one measurement result according to at least one of the at least one LTM CSI reporting configuration.

16 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one control message comprises at least one of a serving cell/layer 1/2 triggered mobility field or logical channel identifier.

17 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one control message comprises at least one of a medium access control element or downlink control information command.

18 . The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the at least one memory and the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, further cause the apparatus at least to:

transmit, to the user equipment, one or more LTM CSI reporting configurations via radio resource configuration comprising at least one parameter configuring inclusion of one or more measurement results in the measurement report of the one or more reporting configurations.
