Abstract

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE. The UE receives a first trigger indicating at least one trigger state for reporting channel state information on a carrier or multiple carriers. The UE generates respective one or more channel state information reports associated with each of the at least one trigger state, each of the respective one or more channel state information reports being generated in accordance with a respective set of configurations that are unique with respect to sets of configurations used to generate the rest of the respective one or more channel state information reports. The UE sends the respective one or more channel state information reports associated with each of the at least one trigger state.
