This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for radio frequency (RF) sensing in wireless communication systems. In some implementations, a transmitter device transmits sounding sequences configured for channel estimation over a wireless channel to a receiver device. The transmitter device also transmits or receives non-sounding frames associated with a channel report of the receiver device. The transmitter device transmits a frame soliciting the channel report from the receiver device. The transmitter device receives the channel report, which may include channel state information (CSI) of the wireless channel responsive to at least the sounding sequences. Some types of channel reports may take longer to generate than other types of channel reports. Transmitting or receiving the non-sounding frames during the time period may prevent other devices from accessing the wireless channel when the receiver device needs additional time to generate a certain type of channel report.

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a transmitting section that transmits a channel state information (CSI) report including CSI for each group; and a control section that determines whether or not resources in a group can be simultaneously received. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a CSI report related to group-based beam reporting can be suitably used.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to CSI feedback are provided. A user equipment (UE) receives an indication of a restricted set of frequency domain (FD) beamforming components and one or more channel state information reference signals (CSI-RSs). The UE may transmit channel state information (CSI) report indicating a plurality of precoding coefficients based on the received one or more CSI-RSs and the restricted set of FD beamforming components.

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, a method, apparatus and software program product for partitioning channel state information into groups of different priority levels, wherein said channel state information comprises non zero coefficients and said partitioning comprises using at least one permutation function to prioritize said non-zero coefficients substantially based on an amplitude distribution of said non zero coefficients to determine mapping of said non zero coefficients to said groups, and further for omitting zero or more non-zero coefficients in accordance with said amplitude distribution based prioritizing from said groups, and for transmitting remaining non zero coefficients in said groups.

A network node configured to communicate with a plurality of wireless devices is provided. The network node includes processing circuitry configured to: receive partial Channel State Information, CSI, from each of the plurality of wireless devices; determine a first plurality of precoders based at least in part on the partial CSI received from each of the plurality of wireless devices where each precoder of the first plurality of precoders is associated with a respective one of the plurality of wireless devices; determine a second plurality of precoders based at least in part on the first plurality of precoders; and optionally cause multiple-user multiple-input multiple-output, MU-MIMO, transmission to the plurality of wireless devices based at least in part on the plurality of second precoders.

A transceiver can transmit a codebook subset restriction configuration including a set of restricted beams. A channel state information report including a plurality of sets of quantized coefficients based on the codebook subset restriction configuration can be received. A set of quantized weights can be based on a least a Fourier transform of a set of quantized coefficients of the particular restricted beam. The plurality of sets of quantized coefficients can be based on quantized weights of the particular restricted beam satisfying a constraint. The plurality of sets of quantized coefficients can be further based on a set of coefficients quantized to determine the plurality of sets of quantized coefficients. The set of coefficients can be generated by transforming a set of beam weights from a frequency domain to a time domain, where the beam weights correspond to a transmitted beam.

Techniques of performing CSI reporting include identifying a cluster of TRPs sharing common information in their CSI and transmitting a complete CSI report to a selected TRP of the cluster while transmitting partial CSIs reports to other TRPs of the cluster. Along these lines, in an example implementation, a UE receives a CSI-RS from a network, with the CSI-RS carrying a plurality of reference symbols from a plurality of TRPs. Based on the plurality of symbols, the UE generates TRP data representing CSI feedback for each of the TRPs. From the CSI feedback, the UE identifies, as a cluster, a subset of the TRPs that share common information within the CSI feedback. The UE then sends first identification data identifying the subset of the TRPs that make up the cluster to the network.

This application describes a channel information feedback method and a communication apparatus. The method includes a terminal device that receives configuration information sent by a network device, where the configuration information is used to configure a feedback mode of channel information. The terminal device may feed back current channel information to the network device when the feedback mode configured by using the configuration information is a first mode. The terminal device may alternatively feeds back predicted channel information to the network device when the feedback mode configured by using the configuration information is a second mode. System performance is therefore improved by the method described in this application because channel information feedback requirements in different scenarios can be met. In particular, a problem that data transmission performance deteriorates because channel information expires in a moving scenario can be resolved by feeding back the predicted channel information.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for encoding reference signal received powers. One apparatus includes a processor that: determines a reference signal received power corresponding to each beam of multiple beams to result in a set of determined reference signal received powers; orders the set of determined reference signal received powers in descending order to result in an ordered list of reference signal received powers; and encodes a difference between each two adjacent reference signal received powers of the ordered list of reference signal received powers to result in an encoded ordered list of reference signal received powers.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reducing overhead for channel state information (CSI). Certain aspects provide a method for wireless communication. The method generally includes receiving a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), determining one or more feedback components associated with a CSI feedback type based on the CSI-RS, identifying that a payload of the one or more feedback components is to be compressed, compressing the payload, and reporting the compressed payload.
