Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a channel state information (CSI) reporting configuration. The UE may transmit, to the base station, a CSI report according to the CSI reporting configuration, the CSI report including a maximum permissible exposure report. Numerous other aspects are described.

Claims (52)

1 . A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:

receive, from a base station, a channel state information (CSI) reporting configuration;

receive, from the base station, information that identifies a mapping of a plurality of power management maximum power reduction value ranges to a plurality of reporting values; and

transmit, to the base station, a CSI report according to the CSI reporting configuration, the CSI report including a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) report.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the CSI report is for layer one reference signal received power reporting or for layer one signal to interference plus noise ratio reporting.

3 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the MPE report includes an indication of whether a reference signal identified in the CSI report is associated with an MPE constraint.

4 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the CSI reporting configuration includes an indication that the UE is to include the MPE report in the CSI report.

5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the MPE report includes an indication of a power management maximum power reduction value associated with a reference signal identified in the CSI report.

6 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the CSI report identifies multiple groups of reference signals, and a group of reference signals, of the multiple groups of reference signals, includes one or more reference signals.

7 . The UE of claim 6 , wherein the MPE report includes:

a first indication of whether a first set of reference signals, that includes first reference signals of the multiple groups of reference signals having more than one reference signal, is associated with an MPE constraint; and

a second indication of whether a second set of reference signals, that includes second reference signals of the multiple groups of reference signals having more than one reference signal, is associated with an MPE constraint.

8 . The UE of claim 7 , wherein the first set of reference signals further includes reference signals of the multiple groups of reference signals having only one reference signal.

9 . The UE of claim 7 , wherein the MPE report further includes a third indication of whether a third set of reference signals, that includes reference signals of the multiple groups of reference signals having only one reference signal, is associated with an MPE constraint.

10 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the CSI report identifies one or more groups of reference signals, and a group of reference signals, of the one or more groups of reference signals, includes multiple reference signals.

11 . The UE of claim 10 , wherein the MPE report includes:

a first indication of whether a first set of reference signals, that includes first reference signals of the one or more groups of reference signals, is associated with an MPE constraint; and

a second indication of whether a second set of reference signals, that includes second reference signals of the one or more groups of reference signals, is associated with an MPE constraint.

12 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the CSI report identifies multiple reference signals, and the CSI report corresponds to a particular report setting.

13 . The UE of claim 12 , wherein the MPE report includes an indication of whether the multiple reference signals are associated with an MPE constraint.

14 . A base station for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a channel state information (CSI) reporting configuration;

transmit, to the UE, information that identifies a mapping of a plurality of power management maximum power reduction value ranges to a plurality of reporting values; and

receive, from the UE, a CSI report according to the CSI reporting configuration, the CSI report including a maximum permissible exposure (MPE) report.

15 . The base station of claim 14 , wherein the CSI report is for layer one reference signal received power reporting or for layer one signal to interference plus noise ratio reporting.

16 . The base station of claim 14 , wherein the MPE report includes an indication of whether a reference signal identified in the CSI report is associated with an MPE constraint.

17 . The base station of claim 14 , wherein the CSI reporting configuration includes an indication that the UE is to include the MPE report in the CSI report.

18 . The base station of claim 14 , wherein the MPE report includes an indication of a power management maximum power reduction value associated with a reference signal identified in the CSI report.

19 . The base station of claim 14 , wherein the CSI report identifies multiple groups of reference signals, and a group of reference signals, of the multiple groups of reference signals, includes one or more reference signals.

20 . The base station of claim 19 , wherein the MPE report includes:

a first indication of whether a first set of reference signals, that includes first reference signals of the multiple groups of reference signals having more than one reference signal, is associated with an MPE constraint; and

a second indication of whether a second set of reference signals, that includes second reference signals of the multiple groups of reference signals having more than one reference signal, is associated with an MPE constraint.

21 . The base station of claim 20 , wherein the first set of reference signals further includes reference signals of the multiple groups of reference signals having only one reference signal.

22 . The base station of claim 20 , wherein the MPE report further includes a third indication of whether a third set of reference signals, that includes reference signals of the multiple groups of reference signals having only one reference signal, is associated with an MPE constraint.

23 . The base station of claim 14 , wherein the CSI report identifies one or more groups of reference signals, and a group of reference signals, of the one or more groups of reference signals, includes multiple reference signals.

24 . The base station of claim 23 , wherein the MPE report includes:

a first indication of whether a first set of reference signals, that includes first reference signals of the one or more groups of reference signals, is associated with an MPE constraint; and

a second indication of whether a second set of reference signals, that includes second reference signals of the one or more groups of reference signals, is associated with an MPE constraint.

25 . The base station of claim 14 , wherein the CSI report identifies multiple reference signals, and the CSI report corresponds to a particular report setting.

26 . The base station of claim 25 , wherein the MPE report includes an indication of whether the multiple reference signals are associated with an MPE constraint.

27 . A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
