Abstract

Embodiments of a system, device and method for CSI processing unit determination are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes receiving, by a wireless communication device from a wireless communication node, a configuration for channel state information (CSI) reporting; and determining, by the wireless communication device, a number of CSI processing units (CPUs) to utilize for processing the CSI reporting, according to at least one of the configuration for the CSI reporting or a number of reference signal resources, resource sets, or resource settings.

Claims (61)

1 . A method, comprising:

receiving, by a wireless communication device from a wireless communication node, a configuration for channel state information (CSI) reporting; and

determining, by the wireless communication device, a number of CSI processing units (CPUs) to utilize for processing the CSI reporting, according to at least one of: the configuration for the CSI reporting, wherein the configuration for CSI reporting includes at least one of frequency offset reporting or Doppler shift reporting.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration for CSI reporting includes

group based beam reporting.

3 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:

determining, by the wireless communication device, that the number of CPUs to utilize for processing the CSI reporting is one, for at least one CSI report configured to report frequency offset information corresponding to one or more reference signal (RS) resource sets or resources settings.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein:

the at least one CSI report is triggered by one trigger state.

5 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:

determining, by the wireless communication device, that the number of CPUs to utilize for processing the CSI reporting is:

equal to N, which is a number of frequency offsets to be reported, or a number of configured resource sets, resources, or resource settings of reference signals (RSs);

equal to N, which is a number of frequency offsets to be reported, or a number of configured resource sets, resources, or resource settings of the RSs, or N number of CSI reports;

equal to (N−1), which is a number of relative frequency offsets to be reported, or N number of configured resource sets, resources, or resource settings of the RSs; or

equal to (N−1), which is a number of relative frequency offsets being reported, or N number of configured resource sets, resources, or resource settings of the RSs, or a number of CSI reports,

wherein N is a positive integer value.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein:

15 . A wireless communication device, comprising:

at least one processor configured to:

receive, via a receiver from a wireless communication node, a configuration for channel state information (CSI) reporting; and

determine a number of CSI processing units (CPUs) to utilize for processing the CSI reporting, according to at least one of: the configuration for the CSI reporting, wherein the configuration for CSI reporting includes at least one of frequency offset reporting or Doppler shift reporting.

16 . The wireless communication device of claim 15 , wherein the configuration for CSI reporting includes

group based beam reporting.

17 . The wireless communication device of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

determine that the number of CPUs to utilize for processing the CSI reporting is one, for at least one CSI report configured to report frequency offset information corresponding to one or more reference signal (RS) resource sets or resources settings.

18 . The wireless communication device of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

determine that the number of CPUs to utilize for processing the CSI reporting is:

equal to N, which is a number of frequency offsets to be reported, or a number of configured resource sets, resources, or resource settings of reference signals (RSs);
