Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to CSI resources. An apparatus, such as a user equipment (UE), receives a configuration message for channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource settings, the configuration message indicating one or more CSI-RS resources, where at least one CSI-RS resource is associated with two different time resource types. The apparatus transmits, based at least in part on the configuration message, one or more channel state information (CSI) reports indicating a first set of CSI report quantities computed based on a first CSI-RS resource setting during a first time resource type and a second set of CSI report quantities computed based on a second CSI-RS resource setting during a second time resource type.

Claims (45)

1 . A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one memory; and

at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:

receive a configuration message for channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource settings, the configuration message indicating one or more CSI-RS resources, wherein at least one CSI-RS resource is associated with two different time resource types; and

transmit, based at least in part on the configuration message, one or more channel state information (CSI) reports indicating a first set of CSI report quantities computed based on a first CSI-RS resource setting during a first time resource type and a second set of CSI report quantities computed based on a second CSI-RS resource setting during a second time resource type.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the first CSI-RS resource setting includes a first frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) physical-to-virtual mapping and the second CSI-RS resource setting includes a second FDRA physical-to-virtual mapping.

3 . The UE of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to:

apply the first FDRA physical-to-virtual mapping during the first time resource type and the second FDRA physical-to-virtual mapping during the second time resource type.

4 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein each of the one or more CSI-RS resources is associated with one or more time resource index sets.

5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to:

determine a frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) mapping for a CSI-RS resource based on a physical-to-virtual resource blocks (RBs) mapping method indicated by the configuration message.

6 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein:

a time resource type incudes a sub-band full duplex (SBFD) time resource type or a non-SBFD time resource type;

the configuration message indicates one of the SBFD time resource type or the non-SBFD time resource type; and

the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to receive another configuration message indicating another of the SBFD time resource type or the non-SBFD time resource type.

7 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein a frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) of a CSI-RS resource is indicated via at least one of: a start resource block (RB) or a number of RBs.

8 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the configuration message further indicates a physical-to-virtual resource blocks (RBs) mapping configuration.

9 . The UE of claim 8 , wherein the physical-to-virtual resource blocks (RBs) mapping configuration indicates at least one of: a method index, a start resource block (RB), or a total number of RBs.

10 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to:

determine at least one of the start RB or the total number of RBs based on at least one of: a bandwidth part (BWP) configuration message or a sub-band full duplex (SBFD) time-frequency resource configuration message.

11 . The UE of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to:

map a physical RBs group to a virtual RBs group based on the physical-to-virtual RBs mapping configuration, wherein the configuration message indicates a grouping level for the mapping of the physical RBs group to the virtual RBs group.

12 . The UE of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to:

perform an RB-overlapping-handling scheme indicated by the configuration message in response to determining that one or more RBs of a CSI-RS resource overlap one or more RBs of a sub-band outside one or more downlink sub-bands.

13 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein performing the RB-overlapping-handling scheme includes at least one of:

excluding the one or more RBs overlapping the one or more RBs of a sub-band outside one or more downlink sub-bands; or

applying an offset to a start RB parameter of the CSI-RS resource, wherein the configuration message indicates the offset for the start RB parameter of the CSI-RS resource.

14 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the one or more CSI-RS resources includes a first set of CSI-RS resources associated with the first time resource type or a first set of time resource indexes, and a second set of CSI-RS resources associated with the second time resource type or a second set of time resource indexes, and wherein the at least one processor is configured to cause the UE to:

determine a first frequency domain resource allocation (FDRA) physical-to-virtual mapping for a CSI-RS resource of the first set of CSI-RS resources or a first index of the first set of time resource indexes; and

determine a second FDRA physical-to-virtual mapping for a CSI-RS resource of the second set of CSI-RS resources or a second index of the second set of time resource indexes.

15 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein a CSI-RS resource associated with a time resource type or time resource index occupying two non-contiguous downlink (DL) sub-bands (SBs) in a bandwidth part (BWP) is configured with two CSI resource frequency occupation parameter sets, and wherein a CSI resource frequency occupation parameter set includes a start resource block (RB) location indicator and a number of RBs indicator.

16 . The UE of claim 15 , wherein a first of the two CSI resource frequency occupation parameter sets is indicated by an offset RBs to the second of the two CSI resource frequency occupation parameter sets.

17 . The UE of claim 15 , wherein a first of the two CSI resource frequency occupation parameter sets corresponds to a first of the two non-contiguous DL SBs in the BWP, and the second of the two CSI resource frequency occupation parameter sets corresponds to the second of the two non-contiguous DL SBs in the BWP.

18 . A processor for wireless communication, comprising:

at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:

receive a configuration message for channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource settings, the configuration message indicating one or more CSI-RS resources, wherein at least one CSI-RS resource is associated with two different time resource types; and

transmit, based at least in part on the configuration message, one or more channel state information (CSI) reports indicating a first set of CSI report quantities computed based on a first CSI-RS resource setting during a first time resource type and a second set of CSI report quantities computed based on a second CSI-RS resource setting during a second time resource type.

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

receiving a configuration message for channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource settings, the configuration message indicating one or more CSI-RS resources, wherein at least one CSI-RS resource is associated with two different time resource types; and

transmitting, based at least in part on the configuration message, one or more channel state information (CSI) reports indicating a first set of CSI report quantities computed based on a first CSI-RS resource setting during a first time resource type and a second set of CSI report quantities computed based on a second CSI-RS resource setting during a second time resource type.

20 . A network equipment (NE) for wireless communication, comprising:
