Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing capability signaling design for 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) release 15 (Rel-15) and/or release 16 (Rel-16) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) enhancement. For example, systems and methods are provided implementing designs for New Radio (NR) MIMO channel state information (CSI) for a small bandwidth part (BWP) and/or a small number of subbands. For example, some aspects relate to a user equipment (UE) including a transceiver configured to communicate with a base station and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor receives, from the base station, a CSI reporting configuration message. The processor determines, using the CSI reporting configuration message, that a number of physical resource blocks (PRBs) of a BWP associated with the CSI reporting configuration message is less than a threshold number. The processor also generates and transmits a CSI report for the BWP.

A method for operating a user equipment (UE) comprises receiving a configuration about a CSI report, the configuration including information about a codebook, the codebook comprising components: (i) sets of basis vectors including a first set of vectors each of length P.sub.CSIRS×1 for a SD, a second set of vectors each of length N.sub.3×1 for a FD, and a third set of vectors each of length N.sub.4×1 for a DD, and (ii) coefficients associated with each basis vector triple (a.sub.i,b.sub.f,c.sub.d), a.sub.i from the first set, b.sub.f from the second set, and c.sub.d from the third set; determining, based on the configuration, the components; and transmitting the CSI report including: at least one basis vector indicator indicating all or a portion of the sets of basis vectors, and at least one coefficient indicator indicating all or a portion of the coefficients.

Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating opportunistic CSI for sidelink communication are disclosed herein. An example method for wireless communication at a responding sidelink UE includes receiving, from an initiating sidelink UE, a request to provide CSI feedback to the initiating sidelink UE, the request excluding a CSI-RS. The example method also includes decoding a transmission from the initiating sidelink UE to a neighboring sidelink UE, the transmission including a CSI feedback trigger. The example method also includes transmitting, to the initiating sidelink UE, a CSI report based on the transmission.

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for transmitting configuration information of a physical downlink control channel. The method comprises: acquiring state information of a terminal device, and generating dynamic signaling according to the state information of the terminal device, wherein the state information of the terminal device comprises service state information of the terminal device or channel state information of the terminal device; and sending the dynamic signaling to the terminal device, the dynamic signaling being used to indicate first configuration information of a search space, wherein the first configuration information is used to indicate that the terminal device monitors a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The technical problem of high power consumption of a terminal device in the prior art is solved.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) operating in discontinuous reception (DRX) mode receives a DRX configuration, receives a reference signal resource configuration, determines, at least based on the DRX configuration and the reference signal resource configuration, whether an overlap exists between a reference signal occasion of a plurality of reference signal occasions of the reference signal resource configuration and an active time of the DRX configuration, receives or transmits at least based on a determined overlap, at least a first reference signal in the reference signal occasion, and receives or transmits, while remaining in an active state of the DRX configuration, at least based on the determined overlap, at least a second reference signal in remaining reference signal occasions of the plurality of reference signal occasions after expiration of the active time.

A method and apparatus are disclosed for configuring at least one set of beta offset values, and for each of the at least one set of beta offset values, at least one subset of beta offset values being defined for information corresponding to Uplink Control Information, UCI, and being associated with at least one service type. A method and apparatus are disclosed for obtaining a configuration of at least one set of beta offset values, for each of the at least one set of beta offset values, the configuration being associated with at least one subset of beta offset values, the at least one subset of beta offset values being defined for information corresponding to UCI and being associated with at least one service type.

Various embodiments are generally directed to improved channel quality information feedback techniques. In one embodiment, for example, an evolved node B (eNB) may comprise a processor circuit, a communication component for execution by the processor circuit to receive a channel quality index for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), the channel quality index associated with a defined reference resource, and a selection component for execution by the processor circuit to select a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) for transmission over the PDSCH of user equipment (UE) data in one or more resource blocks, the selection component to compensate for a difference between a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) overhead of the defined reference resource and a CRS overhead of the one or more resource blocks when selecting the MCS. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel state information measurement adaptation to maximum multiple-input multiple-output layers. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a first channel state information (CSI) report configuration including one or more first CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resources, wherein each first CSI-RS resource comprises a first resource set; determining, based on an indication of a maximum number of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers that the UE is expected to receive, a first resource subset on which to report first CSI; and reporting the first CSI to a base station (BS), wherein the first CSI is based on the determined first resource subset.

Embodiments of the present invention provide an uplink control information sending method, an uplink control information receiving method, an apparatus, and a system. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal device, channel indication information from an access network device on a physical control channel; determining the channel resource set that is of N channel resource sets and that matches a type or a size of the UCI as a first channel resource set; determining a channel resource that is in the first channel resource set and that is indicated by the channel indication information; and sending uplink control information UCI to the access network device on the channel resource. A quantity of bits that need to be added to the channel indication information in the embodiments of the present invention is less than that in the prior art.

An approach is presented, by which an access point can identify and trigger stations with stringent latency requirements or with periodic traffic to transmit to their corresponding access points, simultaneously with uplink traffic from its own service set. The existing spatial reuse is improved to take into account receive beamforming capabilities at the access points. Furthermore, an approach is presented to gather the channel information in an efficient manner and enhance the triggering procedures to allow stations from overlapping cells to access the channel, during the transmit opportunities or resource units allocated to other users.
