Method and apparatus are provided for estimating first downlink (DL) channel information of first DL channels in accordance with reference signals received on first uplink (UL) channels, the first UL channels being a subset of available UL channels, and the first DL channels corresponding to the first UL channels. Channel feedback is received for a set of DL channels, and second DL channel information is estimated in accordance with the estimated first DL channel information and the received channel feedback.

Aspects are provided which enhance receiver performance of PDCCH by allowing a base station to associate a configured PDSCH CSI-RS with a PDCCH for channel estimation and reception by a UE. A UE receives a reference signal associated with a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from a base station, and uses the reference signal to receive a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and/or measure the PDCCH and feedback a corresponding channel measurement for the PDCCH. A base station configures a reference signal associated with a PDSCH for transmission of a PDCCH and/or reception of a corresponding channel measurement for the PDCCH as feedback from the UE, and transmits the reference signal to the UE.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for transmitting SL CSI using an uplink channel. One apparatus includes a transceiver that receives a first SL-CSI value from a RX UE via one of a plurality of unicast links. The apparatus includes a processor that generates a SL-CSI report comprising the first SL-CSI value, wherein the first SL-CSI value is tagged with an identifier that identifies the RX UE. The processor controls the transceiver to transmit the SL-CSI report using an uplink channel.

Aspects relate to mechanisms for measuring the interference on the sidelink for use in calculating the channel quality indicator (CQI) in channel state information (CSI) reporting. Channel state information-interference measurement (CSI-IM) resources on which a sidelink device may measure the interference may be located outside of a bandwidth allocated for the transmission of a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) and/or inside of the allocated bandwidth. The sidelink device may measure respective interference values on one or more CSI-IM resources, identify one or more CQI(s) based on the measured interference value(s) and transmit one or more CSI reports including the one or more CQIs to another sidelink device.

A method of channel state information (CSI) reporting is disclosed that includes determining, with a user equipment (UE), whether CSI to be reported includes a matrix based on network (NW) triggering and performing, with the UE, CSI reporting based on the determination. The CSI reporting may be periodic, semi-persistent, or aperiodic CSI reporting. The matrix may be W.sub.1,l, W.sub.f,l, or both. The NW triggering may be explicitly performed using one or more downlink control information (DCI) bits. The NW triggering may be implicitly performed based on a location of DCI detected by the UE. In other aspects, a user equipment is also disclosed.

A terminal according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: a reception section that receives at least one configuration for measurement and reporting of channel state information (CSI) for a plurality of transmission/reception points; and a control section that performs measurement and reporting of the CSI on the basis of the configuration. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, it is possible to appropriately measure and report CSI for multi-panels/TRPs.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) transmission with slot aggregation. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a grant scheduling a slot aggregated transmission in a plurality of aggregated slots and triggering an aperiodic channel state information (A-CSI) transmission in one of the plurality of aggregated slots. The method includes determining one or more of the plurality of aggregated slots to transmit the A-CSI transmission. The method includes transmitting the A-CSI transmission in the determined one or more of the plurality of aggregated slots.

Disclosed are a method and a device for transmitting or receiving a signal on the basis of a space parameter in a wireless communication system. A method for performing downlink reception or uplink transmission by a terminal in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise the steps of: transmitting information related to a beam switching time of the terminal to a base station; receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including information on the downlink reception or the uplink transmission; and on the basis of the beam switching time and a predetermined threshold value, applying one space parameter set among multiple space parameter sets so as to perform the downlink reception or the uplink transmission, wherein at least one of the beam switching time and the predetermined threshold value may be based on at least one of subcarrier spacing, the position of a frequency, a capability of the terminal, and a cyclic prefix (CP)-related configuration.

A wireless device receives a report mask indicating a transmission of a layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) report limited to a time period when a discontinuous reception (DRX) timer is running. The L1-RSRP report is transmitted, at a first time, in response to the DRX timer running at a predefined time period before the first time. The L1-RSRP report may include, for example, an L1-RSRP value and a reference signal index associated with the L1-RSRP value. Ata second time, a configured L1-RSRP report transmission is skipped in response to: the DRX timer not running at the predefined time period before the second time and the report mask.

Beam measurement and reporting by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving configuration information for a channel state information (CSI) framework from a base station (BS) and identifying reporting settings and resource settings configured for the UE based on the received configuration information. The reporting settings configure a beam measurement and reporting configuration. The resource settings configure one or more reference signal (RS) resources for beam measurement. Each of the RS resources represents a transmit (Tx) beam. The method further includes performing beam measurement based on the identified reporting and resource settings, generating a CSI report based on the identified reporting and resource settings, and transmitting the generated CSI report to the BS.
