Abstract

A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE). A channel state information (CSI) report trigger can be received from a second UE, and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) can be received from the second UE in a same slot as the CSI report trigger. A CSI report can be transmitted to the second UE based on the CSI-RS, the CSI report including information identifying the CSI-RS on which the CSI report is based. The UE that triggered the CSI report can determine the CSI-RS on which the CSI report is based using the information included in the CSI report.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first UE transmits the MAC-CE comprising the CSI report on a sidelink shared channel having associated sidelink control information indicating a source and a destination.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first UE receives the CSI report trigger in sidelink control information from the second UE.

10. A method of wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:

transmitting a channel state information (CSI) report trigger to a second UE;

transmitting a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) to the second UE in a same slot as the CSI report trigger;

receiving a CSI report from the second UE based on the CSI-RS, the CSI report comprising information identifying the CSI-RS on which the CSI report is based, wherein the information identifying the CSI-RS includes at least one of:

a system frame number or a direct frame number of a frame within which the CSI-RS is received;

a slot index within the system frame number or the direct frame number of the frame within which the CSI-RS is received;

an indication of an absolute time at which the CSI-RS is received;

a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) process identifier for a slot or a shared channel within which the CSI-RS is received; or

a combination thereof; and

determining the CSI-RS on which the CSI report is based using the information comprised in the CSI report.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the information identifying the CSI-RS includes the system frame number or the direct frame number of the frame within which the CSI-RS is received.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the information identifying the CSI-RS further includes the slot index within the system frame number or the direct frame number of the frame within which the CSI-RS is received.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the information identifying the CSI-RS includes the indication of the absolute time at which the CSI-RS is received.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the information identifying the CSI-RS includes the HARQ process identifier for the slot or the shared channel within which the CSI-RS is received.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the information identifying the CSI-RS includes at least two of:

the system frame number of the frame within which the CSI-RS is received;

the direct frame number of the frame within which the CSI-RS is received;

the slot index within the system frame number or the direct frame number of the frame within which the CSI-RS;

the indication of the absolute time at which the CSI-RS is received; or

the HARQ process identifier for the slot or the shared channel within which the CSI-RS is received.

16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first UE receives the CSI report in a medium access control-control element (MAC-CE) from the second UE.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the first UE receives the MAC-CE comprising the CSI report on a sidelink shared channel having associated sidelink control information indicating a source and a destination.

18. The method of claim 10 , wherein the first UE transmits the CSI report trigger in sidelink control information to the second UE.
