Abstract

Claims (32)

1. A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station:

first configuration parameters of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group comprising a first cell and a second cell;

channel state information (CSI) report configuration parameters for CSI reports via the first cell; and

a second configuration parameter of a time domain pattern indicating first timings that the first cell is the PUCCH cell for PUCCH transmission in the PUCCH group and second timings that the second cell is the PUCCH cell for PUCCH transmission in the PUCCH group;

receiving a first CSI report, scheduled for transmission via the first cell in a first report timing, based on the first report timing being within the first timings;

wherein

a second CSI report, scheduled for transmission via the first cell in a second report timing is dropped, based on the second report timing being within the second timings.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI report configuration parameters are for periodic CSI reports or semi-persistent CSI reports.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CSI report configuration parameters are for transmission of CSI reports via a PUCCH of the first cell.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the time domain pattern indicates a cell switching pattern for PUCCH transmission.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first report timing and the second report timing are based on the CSI report configuration parameters.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first report timing and the second report timing are based on a subcarrier spacing of an active bandwidth part of the first cell.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first timings and the second timings are based on a reference subcarrier spacing.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the reference subcarrier spacing is a first subcarrier spacing associated with the first cell.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH group is a primary PUCCH group.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the PUCCH group is a secondary PUCCH group.

11. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to: transmit: first configuration parameters of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) group comprising a first cell and a second cell; channel state information (CSI) report configuration parameters for CSI reports via the first cell; and

a second configuration parameter of a time domain pattern indicating first timings that the first cell is the PUCCH cell for PUCCH transmission in the PUCCH group and second timings that the second cell is the PUCCH cell for PUCCH transmission in the PUCCH group;

receive a first CSI report, scheduled for transmission via the first cell in a first report timing, based on the first report timing being within the first timings;

wherein

a second CSI report, scheduled for transmission via the first cell in a second report timing is dropped, based on the second report timing being within the second timings.

12. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the CSI report configuration parameters are for periodic CSI reports or semi-persistent CSI reports.

13. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the CSI report configuration parameters are for transmission of CSI reports via a PUCCH of the first cell.

14. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the time domain pattern indicates a cell switching pattern for PUCCH transmission.

15. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the first report timing and the second report timing are based on the CSI report configuration parameters.

16. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the first report timing and the second report timing are based on a subcarrier spacing of an active bandwidth part of the first cell.

17. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the first timings and the second timings are based on a reference subcarrier spacing.

18. The base station of claim 17 , wherein the reference subcarrier spacing is a first subcarrier spacing associated with the first cell.

19. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the PUCCH group is a primary PUCCH group.

20. The base station of claim 11 , wherein the PUCCH group is a secondary PUCCH group.
