Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a first part of a channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the first part includes an indication of whether a value of a second part of the CSI report matches a value of a previous CSI report; and selectively transmit the second part of the CSI report based at least in part on whether the indication indicates that the value of the second part of the CSI report matches the value of the previous CSI report. In some aspects, a UE may determine a modified subband size of the UE, wherein the modified subband size is different than a configured subband size of the UE; and transmit, in a CSI report, an indication regarding the modified subband size to a base station. Numerous other aspects are provided.

A method for performing wireless communication by a first apparatus and an apparatus for supporting same are provided. The method may comprise the steps of: transmitting, to a second apparatus via a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH), second sidelink control information (SCI) and first SCI for scheduling of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH); and transmitting, to the second apparatus via the PSSCH, a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) and the second SCI including channel state information (CSI) request information indicating that a first CSI report is requested. Within a time duration associated with the first CSI report, the first apparatus is not allowed to transmit, to the second apparatus, CSI request information indicating that a second CSI report is requested.

Apparatuses, systems, and methods to enhance system performance (e.g., UL throughput) without impinging on (e.g., tightening) processing timeline for UL-SCH data and/or CSI reporting. A base station may request for a UE to send a CSI report(s) during PDCCH monitoring. The base station may also request the UE to send UL-SCH data. At a first transmit opportunity, the UE may transmit first PUSCH (including UL-SCH data that may be multiplexed onto the first PUSCH). Additionally, at a second (later) transmit opportunity, the UE may transmit second PUSCH (including the CSI report(s) that may be multiplexed onto the second PUSCH). The second transmit opportunity may be identified as a transmit opportunity starting at least a specified number of symbols after a first symbol of the first repetition. The specified number of symbols may be dependent upon at least one of UE uplink processing time capabilities or SCS.

The present invention provides a method of reporting, by a UE, CSI in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: receiving, from a base station, a RRC signaling that comprises a plurality of reporting settings, wherein each reporting setting comprises a corresponding list of first values representing time offsets for transmitting a CSI report, forming a plurality of lists of first values; receiving, from the base station, DCI triggering the CSI report, wherein the DCI comprises an index value related to a time at which to transmit the CSI report on a PUSCH; determining, based on the DCI, a plurality of list entries; determining a second value that is largest among the plurality of list entries; and transmitting, to the base station, the CSI report on the PUSCH based on the second value.

A method implemented by a network device in a communication network is provided. The network device is operable to communicate with a User Equipment UE and a Narrow Band Internet Of Things NB-IoT terminal device in the communication network. Said method may comprise configuring NB-IoT Physical Resource Blocks PRBs. Said method may further comprise when scheduling said UE, if said configured NB-IoT PRBs have not been allocated to said NB-IoT terminal device and if available PRBs other than said configured NB-IOT PRBs are not enough for said UE, attempting to allocate said configured NB-IoT PRBs for said UE. A network device performing said method is also provided. Further, a communication network comprising said network device is also provided.

Techniques are described to address scenarios involving physical uplink channel conflicts. For example, a method includes performing a combined transmission of a first information multiplexed with a second information on a first physical channel resource selected from the first physical channel resource and a second physical channel resource, where the first physical channel resource and the second physical channel resource have different transmission priorities, where the first physical channel resource is configured to have a last symbol that is earlier in time compared to a last symbol configured for the second physical channel resource, and where the combined transmission is performed in response to the first physical channel resource being configured to include the first information that conflicts within a time period with the second physical channel resource being configured to include the second information.

This application discloses a method for determining a channel reception occasion and an apparatus. The method includes: determining a first time domain resource offset value set, where the first time domain resource offset value set includes one or more time domain resource offset values between a physical sidelink feedback channel PSFCH and a physical uplink control channel PUCCH; and determining a PSFCH reception occasion based on the first time domain resource offset value set and a feedback period of the PSFCH.

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for indicating sidelink CSI information to a base station. A UE and a base station may determine a priority of a sidelink CSI report on an uplink channel in association with a priority of one or more of at least one uplink transmission or at least one other sidelink transmission. The sidelink CSI report may correspond to one or more sidelink transmissions between the UE and at least one other UE. The UE may transmit, and the base station may receive, via the uplink channel, the sidelink CSI report based on the priority of the sidelink CSI report on the uplink channel being determined in association with the priority of the one or more of the at least one uplink transmission or the at least one other SL transmission.

Channel state feedback is provided from a UE to a base station as a first, detailed or a second, less detailed type of channel state feedback information. Initially it is determined whether the UE has received an uplink grant from the base station or not. If the UE has received an uplink grant, a first type of channel state feedback information is transmitted to the base station on the granted resource. If, however, the UE has not received an uplink grant, a second type of channel state feedback information is transmitted to the base station. Different types of channel state feedback information enables a UE and an associated to base station to use available resources more efficiently, when requesting for and delivering channel state feedback information.

A method for a terminal transmitting aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI), and a device using the method are provided. The method is characterised by: receiving a higher layer signal that configures a plurality of PUCCH resource sets; receiving DCI indicating one of PUCCH resources that are included in the plurality of PUCCH resource sets; and transmitting the A-CSI using a PUCCH resource that is determined based on the higher layer signal and the DCI, wherein the terminal selects one PUCCH resource set of the plurality from PUCCH resource sets based on a CSI process to which the A-CSI is transmitted, and transmits the A-CSI using the PUCCH resource that is indicated by the DCI of PUCCH resources that are included in the selected single PUCCH resource set.
