Device and method of handling channel status information for unlicensed serving cell
A communication device of handling a channel status information (CSI) report for an unlicensed serving cell comprises a storage unit for storing instructions and a processing means coupled to the storage unit. The processing means is configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage unit. The instructions comprise determining an indication for indicating a validity of an unlicensed CSI (U-CSI) report; and transmitting the indication to a network.
1. A communication device of handling a channel status information (CSI) report for an unlicensed serving cell, comprising:
a storage device, for storing instructions of:
determining an indication for indicating a validity of an unlicensed CSI (U-CSI) report;
transmitting the indication to a network; and
stopping, based on the U-CSI report being invalid, obtaining the U-CSI report according to a CSI reference signal (CSI-RS);
wherein the validity of the U-CSI report is determined as invalid, when a time difference between a first time instant for transmitting the U-CSI report and a second time instant for receiving the CSI-RS for obtaining the U-CSI report is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold; and
a processing circuit, coupled to the storage device, configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage device.
2. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the U-CSI report is a periodic U-CSI report.
3. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the indication comprises a predetermined CSI value.
4. The communication device of claim 3 , wherein the predetermined CSI value comprises a lowest CQI.
5. The communication device of claim 3 , wherein the predetermined CSI value comprises a lowest RI value or a highest RI value.
