The present disclosure provides a method for transmitting hybrid automatic repeat-request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) feedback information in an enhanced carrier aggregation system. A user equipment (UE) determines the number of HARQ-ACK feedback information bits that the UE needs to transmit in an uplink subframe, and determines the number of uplink control information (UCI) bits to be transmitted in the uplink subframe based on the number of the HARQ-ACK feedback information bits, the number of channel state information (CSI) bits, and the number of scheduling request (SR) bits that need to be transmitted in the uplink subframe, and transmitting the UCI according to the PUCCH format and the resource for transmission of PUCCH determined. With the present disclosure, UCI information may be transmitted using different formats in different PUCCH formats.

A method for operating a user equipment (UE) comprises receiving configuration information for a CSI report. The configuration information includes information to: configure a codebook and parameters for the codebook, the codebook comprising a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) indicating a set of components S to represent N.sub.3 precoding matrices, where N.sub.3≥1; and partition the PMI into two subsets, a first PMI subset indicating a first subset of components S1 from the set of components S, and a second PMI subset indicating a second subset of components S2 from the set of components S different from the first subset of components S1. The method further comprises determining the CSI report based on the configuration information, the CSI report including the second PMI subset indicating the second subset of components S2, and transmitting the determined CSI report over an uplink (UL) channel.

A method for operating a UE for CSI reporting is provided. The method comprises receiving configuration information for a CSI report, determining the CSI report comprising a first CSI part and a second CSI part, the second CSI part including a precoding matrix indicator (PMI), the PMI comprising a plurality of PMI components, wherein some of the PMI components comprise sub-components, determining priority values for the sub-components of the some of the PMI components, partitioning the second CSI part into Group 0, Group 1, and Group 2 such that the sub-components of the some of the PMI components are divided into Group 1 and Group 2 based on the determined priority values for the sub-components, and transmitting the first CSI part and Group 0 or (Group 0, Group 1) or (Group 0, Group 1, Group 2) of the second CSI part based on a resource allocation for the CSI report.

A user equipment (UE) receives a maximum downlink (DL) Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) layer configuration for DL communications, such as control signals or data signals, in one or more bandwidth parts (BWPs) and a positioning reference signal (PRS) configuration for receiving DL PRS. The UE receives DL PRS in an active BWP using a number of reception antennas based on, e.g., at least equal to, the maximum number of DL MIMO layers in the active bandwidth part. The UE may be configured to transmit uplink (UL) PRS, e.g., SRS for positioning purposes, using at least a maximum number of transmission antennas that is configured for communications purposes.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may transmit a first part of a Layer 1 measurement report, wherein the first part includes measurement information for a first set of beams; and transmit a second part of the Layer 1 measurement report, wherein the second part includes measurement information for a second set of beams, wherein the second set of beams is different than the first set of beams, and wherein the first part and the second part are transmitted using different time resources. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Embodiments contemplate methods and systems for determining and communicating channel state information (CSI) for one or more transmission points (or CSI reference signal resources). Embodiments further contemplate determining transmission states may include applying at least one transmission state parameter to channel state information (CSI). Embodiments also contemplate reporting CSI based on the transmission state and/or at least one transmission state parameter applied thereto.

The present specification discloses a method for allocating a resource in a wireless communication system, comprising: a step in which a base station allocates, to a terminal, an uplink resource area for transmission of an uplink control information (UCI) of the terminal, wherein the uplink control information (UCI) is information related to a plurality of downlink cells; and a step in which the base station receives, from the terminal, the uplink control information (UCI) via the allocated uplink resource area over at least one uplink cell.
