Abstract

A wireless communication method is described for a user equipment to receive a reporting configuration, measure one or more resources, and generate a report transmitted to a base station. The report may include one or more CSI values that describe signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) or reference signal received quality (RSRQ), where the CSI values are determined based on measuring at least some of the one or more resources. The report may also include one or more identifiers associated with at least some of one or more channel measurement resource (CMR) or at least some of interference measurement resource (IMR), or at least some of one or more CMR groups or at least some of one or more IMR groups.

Claims (27)

1. A wireless communication method, comprising:

receiving, by a communication node, a reporting configuration, wherein the reporting configuration is associated with a channel measurement resource (CMR) group and an interference measurement resource (IMR) group, wherein each IMR in the IMR group is associated with different spatial domain filters; and

transmitting, by the communication node, a report,

wherein the report includes a channel state information (CSI) value that describes signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), wherein the CSI value is determined by performing channel measurement on a CMR in a CMR group, and

wherein the report includes one or more identifiers associated with one or more CMRs from the CMR group.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein an interference measurement for at least one CSI value is obtained based on at least one IMR.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein an IMR includes a resource for interference measurement.

4. A wireless communication apparatus, comprising a memory and a processor, wherein the processor reads code from the memory and implements a method comprising:

receive a reporting configuration, wherein the reporting configuration is associated with a channel measurement resource (CMR) group and an interference measurement resource (IMR) group, wherein each IMR in the IMR group is associated with different spatial domain filters; and

transmit a report,

wherein the report includes a channel state information (CSI) value that describes signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), wherein the CSI value is determined by channel measurement performed on a CMR in a CMR group, and

wherein the report includes one or more identifiers associated with one or more CMRs from the CMR group.

5. The wireless communication apparatus of claim 4 , wherein an interference measurement for at least one CSI value is obtained based on at least one IMR.

6. The wireless communication apparatus of claim 4 , wherein an IMR includes a resource for interference measurement.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one CMRs and at least one IMRs are associated with at least one CSI value.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IMR group in the reporting configuration is associated with the CMR group associated with the reporting configuration.

9. The wireless communication apparatus of claim 4 , wherein at least one CMRs and at least one IMRs are associated with at least one CSI value.

10. The wireless communication apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the IMR group in the reporting configuration is associated with the CMR group associated with the reporting configuration.

11. A non-transitory computer readable program storage medium having code stored thereon, the code, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to implement a method, comprising:

receiving, by a communication node, a reporting configuration, wherein the reporting configuration is associated with a channel measurement resource (CMR) group and an interference measurement resource (IMR) group, wherein each IMR in the one IMR group is associated with different spatial domain filters; and

transmitting, by the communication node, a report,

wherein the report includes a channel state information (CSI) value that describes signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), wherein the CSI value is determined by performing channel measurement on a CMR in a CMR group, and

wherein the report includes one or more identifiers associated with one or more CMRs from the CMR group.

12. The non-transitory computer readable program storage medium of claim 11 , wherein an interference measurement for at least one CSI value is obtained based on at least one IMR.

13. The non-transitory computer readable program storage medium of claim 11 , wherein an IMR includes a resource for interference measurement.

14. The non-transitory computer readable program storage medium of claim 11 , wherein at least one CMRs and at least one IM Rs are associated with at least one CSI value.

15. The non-transitory computer readable program storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the IMR group in the reporting configuration is associated with the CMR group associated with the reporting configuration.
