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 determines a first uplink slot on an uplink carrier for reporting channel state information. The UE determines, on a downlink carrier, a first downlink slot that is an earliest downlink slot overlaps with the first uplink slot. The UE determines a number M based on a numerology of the downlink carrier, M being an integer greater than or equal to 0. The UE measures a reference signal, received no later than a second downlink slot that is a latest valid downlink slot no later than M downlink slots prior to the first downlink slot, to generate the channel state information.

Claims (35)

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

switching from a first communication state to a second communication state;

determining a first uplink slot on an uplink band for reporting a channel state information report in the second communication state;

when the UE received one or more reference signals prior to the switching, determining that the UE has not received one or more reference signals in a valid downlink slot that is subsequent to the switching and that is no later than N downlink slots prior to the first uplink slot, wherein Nis a positive integer; and

in response to the determination, dropping reporting the channel state information report in the first uplink slot.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the switching from the first communication state to the second communication state comprises:

switching from communicating in a first bandwidth part on a carrier to communicating in a second bandwidth part.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the switching from the first communication state to the second communication state comprises:

switching from a suspension of reporting semi-persistent channel state information to reporting semi-persistent channel state information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the switching from the first communication state to the second communication state comprises:

switching from sleeping to operating in active time of a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle of the UE.

5. 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:

switch from a first communication state to a second communication state;

determine a first uplink slot on an uplink band for reporting a channel state information report in the second communication state;

when the UE received one or more reference signals prior to the switching, determine that the UE has not received one or more reference signals in a valid downlink slot that is subsequent to the switching and that is no later than N downlink slots prior to the first uplink slot, wherein Nis a positive integer; and

in response to the determination, drop reporting the channel state information report in the first uplink slot.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein to switch from the first communication state to the second communication state, the at least one processor is further configured to:

switch from communicating in a first bandwidth part on a carrier to communicating in a second bandwidth part.

7. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein to switch from the first communication state to the second communication state, the at least one processor is further configured to:

switch from a suspension of reporting semi-persistent channel state information to reporting semi-persistent channel state information.

8. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein to switch from the first communication state to the second communication state, the at least one processor is further configured to:

switch from sleeping to operating in active time of a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle of the UE.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code for wireless communication of wireless equipment, comprising code to:

switch from a first communication state to a second communication state;

determine a first uplink slot on an uplink band for reporting a channel state information report in the second communication state;

when the UE received one or more reference signals prior to the switching, determine that the UE has not received one or more reference signals in a valid downlink slot that is subsequent to the switching and that is no later than N downlink slots prior to the first uplink slot, wherein Nis a positive integer; and

in response to the determination, drop reporting the channel state information report in the first uplink slot.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein to switch from the first communication state to the second communication state, the code is further configured to:

switch from communicating in a first bandwidth part on a carrier to communicating in a second bandwidth part.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein to switch from the first communication state to the second communication state, the code is further configured to:

switch from a suspension of reporting semi-persistent channel state information to reporting semi-persistent channel state information.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , wherein to switch from the first communication state to the second communication state, the code is further configured to:

switch from sleeping to operating in active time of a Discontinuous Reception (DRX) cycle of the UE.
