Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for low overhead CSI feedback for multi-trp transmissions. In one embodiment, a method implemented in a wireless device includes receiving a configuration of a channel state information, CSI, report setting for at least K>1 non-zero power channel state information reference signal, NZP CSI-RS, resources for channel measurement and a report quantity configuration, K being an integer; receiving a CSI feedback report request for CSI measurement and feedback based at least in part on the CSI report setting; measuring channels based at least in part on the NZP CSI-RS resources; and sending a channel state information, CSI, feedback report based at least in part on: the channel measurements; and the report quantity configuration; and the CSI feedback report comprising at least one of a first CSI feedback and a second CSI feedback.

Claims (39)

1. A method implemented in a wireless device, the method comprising:

receiving a configuration of a channel state information, CSI, report setting for at least K>1 non-zero power channel state information reference signal, NZP CSI-RS, resources for channel measurement and a report quantity configuration, K being an integer;

receiving a CSI feedback report request for CSI measurement and feedback based at least in part on the CSI report setting;

measuring channels based at least in part on the NZP CSI-RS resources; and

sending a channel state information, CSI, feedback report based at least in part on:

the channel measurements; and

the report quantity configuration; and

the CSI feedback report comprising a first CSI feedback and a second CSI feedback.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first CSI feedback comprises one CSI associated with each of the K NZP CSI-RS resources.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second CSI feedback comprises a CSI for one of non-coherent joint, NC-JT, transmission and Ultra Reliable Low Latency, URLL, transmission.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second CSI feedback comprises a first rank indicator and a first precoding matrix indicator associated with a first NZP CSI-RS resource, and a second rank indicator and a second precoding matrix indicator associated with a second NZP CSI-RS resource, and a joint channel quality indicator conditioned on the first and the second rank and precoding matrix indicators.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second CSI feedback comprises a first rank indicator and a first layer indicator associated with a first NZP CSI-RS resource, and a second rank indicator and a second layer indicator associated with a second NZP CSI-RS resource, and a joint channel quality indicator conditioned on the first and the second rank and layer indicators.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second CSI feedback further comprises identities of the first and the second NZP CSI-RS resources.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether to include the second CSI feedback in the CSI feedback report.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI feedback report further comprises an indicator indicating whether the second CSI feedback is present in the CSI feedback report.

9. A method implemented in a network node, the method comprising:

configuring a wireless device with a channel state information, CSI, report setting for at least K>1 non-zero power channel state information reference signal, NZP CSI-RS, resources for channel measurement and a report quantity configuration, K being an integer;

sending a CSI feedback report request for CSI measurement and feedback based at least in part on the CSI report setting; and

receiving a channel state information, CSI, feedback report, the CSI feedback report based at least in part on the CSI report setting; and

the CSI feedback report comprising a first CSI feedback and a second CSI feedback.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first CSI feedback comprises one CSI associated with each of the K NZP CSI-RS resources.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second CSI feedback comprises a CSI for one of non-coherent joint, NC-JT, transmission and Ultra Reliable Low Latency, URLL, transmission.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second CSI feedback comprises a first rank indicator and a first precoding matrix indicator associated with a first NZP CSI-RS resource and a second rank indicator and a second precoding matrix indicator associated with a second NZP CSI-RS resource, and a joint channel quality indicator conditioned on the first and the second rank and precoding matrix indicators.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second CSI feedback comprises a first rank indicator and a first layer indicator associated with a first NZP CSI-RS resource, and a second rank indicator and a second layer indicator associated with a second NZP CSI-RS resource, and a joint channel quality indicator conditioned on the first and the second rank and layer indicators.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the second CSI feedback further comprises identities of the first and the second NZP CSI-RS resources.

15. A wireless device configured to communicate with a network node, the wireless device comprising processing circuitry configured to cause the wireless device to:

receive a configuration of a channel state information, CSI, report setting for at least K>1 non-zero power channel state information reference signal, NZP CSI-RS, resources for channel measurement and a report quantity configuration, K being an integer;

receive a CSI feedback report request for CSI measurement and feedback based at least in part on the CSI report setting;

measure channels based at least in part on the NZP CSI-RS resources; and

send a channel state information, CSI, feedback report based at least in part on:

the channel measurements; and

the report quantity configuration; and

the CSI feedback report comprising a first CSI feedback and a second CSI feedback.

16. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the first CSI feedback comprises one CSI for each of the K NZP CSI-RS resources.

17. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the second CSI feedback comprises a CSI for one of non-coherent joint, NC-JT, transmission and Ultra Reliable Low Latency, URLL, transmission.

18. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the second CSI feedback comprises a first rank indicator and a first precoding matrix indicator associated with a first NZP CSI-RS resource and a second rank indicator and a second precoding matrix indicator associated with a second NZP CSI-RS resource, and a joint channel quality indicator conditioned on the first and the second rank and precoding matrix indicators.

19. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the second CSI feedback comprises a first rank indicator and a first layer indicator associated with a first NZP CSI-RS resource, and a second rank indicator and a second layer indicator associated with a second NZP CSI-RS resource, and a joint channel quality indicator conditioned on the first and the second rank and layer indicators.

20. The wireless device of claim 15 , wherein the second CSI feedback further includes identities of the first and the second NZP CSI-RS resources.
