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 monitors a respective down link control channel (DCCH) from each of a plurality of transmission and reception points (TRPs). The UE receives, from a first TRP of the plurality of TRPs, a first trigger for reporting N1 channel state information (CSI) reports within a time duration, N1 being an integer greater than 0. The UE commits to update the N1 CSI reports. The UE determines that P processing units are remaining available for calculation of CSI reports while the UE is calculating the N1 CSI reports. P is a number greater than or equal to zero. Each of the P processing units indicates a predetermined amount of computing power of the UE.

Claims (44)

1. A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising:

monitoring a respective down link control channel (DCCH) from each of a plurality of transmission and reception points (TRPs);

receiving, from a first TRP of the plurality of TRPs, a first trigger for reporting N1 channel state information (CSI) reports within a time duration, N1 being an integer greater than 0;

committing to update the N1 CSI reports;

determining that P processing units are remaining available for calculation of CSI reports while the UE is calculating the N1 CSI reports, P being a number greater than or equal to zero, each of the P processing units indicating a predetermined amount of computing power of the UE; and

sending an indication associated with the P processing units to one or more of the plurality of TRPs, wherein the indication indicates that the N1 CSI reports are committed to be updated.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending an indication associated with the P processing units to one or more of the plurality of TRPs, wherein the indication indicates that the P processing units are available at the UE.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending the N1 CSI reports in an uplink channel.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the indication is sent to the first TRP on the uplink channel.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from a second TRP of the plurality of TRPs, a second trigger for reporting M CSI reports within the time duration, M being an integer greater than 0;

determining that the P processing units are not sufficient for calculating the N1 CSI reports and the M CSI reports concurrently; and

determining that the N1 CSI reports have a priority level greater than a priority level of the M CSI reports, wherein the N1 CSI reports are committed to be updated based on the priority levels of the N1 CSI reports and the M CSI reports.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

selecting N2 CSI reports from the M CSI reports such that the P processing units are sufficient for calculating the N2 CSI reports, N2 being an integer greater than 0 and no more than M;

calculating and updating the N1 CSI reports;

calculating and updating the N2 CSI reports; and

preparing M-N2 uncalculated CSI reports.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the preparing the M-N2 uncalculated CSI reports uses CSI reports calculated previously or dummy CSI reports.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein each of the uncalculated (M-N2) CSI reports is represented by a predefined sequence.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the priority levels between the N1 CSI reports and the M CSI reports are determined based on indices identifying the first TRP and the second TRP, respectively.

10. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving, a first configuration identifier for generating a seed for deriving channel state information (CSI) reference signals associated with the first TRP; and

receiving, a second configuration identifier for generating a seed for deriving channel state information (CSI) reference signals associated with the second TRP, wherein the priority levels of the N1 CSI reports and the M CSI reports are determined based on the first configuration identifier and the second configuration identifier, respectively.

11. The method of claim 5 , wherein the respective DCCH from the first TRP is monitored on a first control resource set (CORESET) in a particular slot and associated with a first CORESET identifier, wherein the respective DCCH from the second TRP is monitored on a second control resource set (CORESET) in the particular slot and associated with a second CORESET identifier, wherein the priority levels of the N1 CSI reports and the M CSI reports are determined based on the first CORESET identifier and the second CORESET identifier, respectively.

12. The method of claim 5 , wherein the UE communicates with the first TRP using a first radio access technology (RAT), wherein the UE communicates with the second TRP using a second RAT.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first TRP and the second TRP are a same TRP.

14. An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus being a user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

monitor a respective down link control channel (DCCH) from each of a plurality of transmission and reception points (TRPs);

receive, from a first TRP of the plurality of TRPs, a first trigger for reporting N1 channel state information (CSI) reports within a time duration, N1 being an integer greater than 0;

commit to update the N1 CSI reports;

determine that P processing units are remaining available for calculation of CSI reports while the UE is calculating the N1 CSI reports, P being a number greater than or equal to zero, each of the P processing units indicating a predetermined amount of computing power of the UE; and

send an indication associated with the P processing units to one or more of the plurality of TRPs, wherein the indication indicates that the N1 CSI reports are committed to be updated.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to send an indication associated with the P processing units to one or more of the plurality of TRPs, wherein the indication indicates that the P processing units are available at the UE.

16. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to send the N1 CSI reports in an uplink channel.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the indication is sent to the first TRP on the uplink channel.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising code to:

monitor a respective down link control channel (DCCH) from each of a plurality of transmission and reception points (TRPs);

receive, from a first TRP of the plurality of TRPs, a first trigger for reporting N1 channel state information (CSI) reports within a time duration, N1 being an integer greater than 0;

commit to update the N1 CSI reports;

determine that P processing units are remaining available for calculation of CSI reports while the UE is calculating the N1 CSI reports, P being a number greater than or equal to zero, each of the P processing units indicating a predetermined amount of computing power of the UE; and

send an indication associated with the P processing units to one or more of the plurality of TRPs, wherein the indication indicates that the N1 CSI reports are committed to be updated.
