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 method in a wireless communications assembly of a first station having a plurality of antennas and configured to perform a beamforming procedure with a second station, the method comprising: controlling the plurality of antennas to simultaneously transmit, using a first sector of each of the plurality of antennas, a respective first beam including first frame data containing a first beam set identifier element identifying each of the plurality of antennas and each of the first sectors; subsequently controlling the plurality of antennas to simultaneously transmit, using a second sector of each of the plurality of antennas, a respective second beam including second frame data containing a second beam set identifier element identifying each of the plurality of antennas and each of the second sectors; and receiving, from the second station, first feedback data including one of the first beam set identifier element and the second beam set identifier element.

A method of reporting, by a user equipment (UE), channel state information (CSI) in a wireless communication system, includes: receiving, by the UE and from a base station (BS), downlink control information (DCI) related to an aperiodic CSI report that is to be performed by the UE in a slot n; determining, by the UE, a value n.sub.CQI_ref based on a number of symbols Z related to a time for computing the CSI; determining, by the UE, a CSI reference resource as being a slot nn.sub.CQI_ref in a time domain that is to be used for the aperiodic CSI report; and transmitting, by the UE and to the BS, the aperiodic CSI report in the slot n, based on the CSI reference resource being slot nn.sub.CQI_ref. The CSI may be calculated by using the most recent A CSI-RS, and thereby the most recent CSI may be reported.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. In aspects of the present disclosure, a user equipment (UE) may report metrics (e.g., received signal power, beam identifier) about synchronization signal (SS) beams using the same (e.g., or a similar) framework that is used for channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) reporting. Because SSs are intended to be broadcast across a wide coverage area in a beamformed manner, the SSs represent a promising complement to existing beam management techniques. Accordingly, beam management may be achieved at least in part based on reporting one or more metrics of beamformed SSs through a channel feedback framework.

Example implementations are directed to methods and systems employing a solicited sounding protocol that includes an efficient communication sequence for operating a wireless transceiver transmitting a sounding trigger to one or more beamformees via a forward channel, receiving at least one dedicated training signal from the one or more beamformees via a reverse channel in response to the sounding trigger, and for each of the received dedicated training signal. The method also includes estimating forward CSI derived based on the dedicated training signal from an associated beamformee; and where subsequent packets are precoded with precoding derived from the forward CSI for transmission to the associated beamformee via the forward channel. Example aspects including scheduling multiple dedicated training signals from one or more beamformees based on a single sounding trigger.

Techniques are described herein for selecting network parameters based on feedback in a wireless network. An access point (AP) may collect feedback information from a plurality of stations (STAs). The AP may broadcast out queries seeking information to the STAs. The AP may collect statistics about network parameters preferred by the STAs. The AP may select a network parameter based at least in part on collecting the statistics. The AP may collect the statistics without identifying the individual STAs that are responding. The AP may gather responses using a two-message system, where a first message informs the STAs about the feedback being requested and a second message requests that the STAs transmit the feedback to the AP.

A method by which a terminal reports an aperiodic channel state in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises the steps of: receiving an aperiodic channel state information (CSI) report request from a base station; and calculating the aperiodic CSI with respect to a CSI to be measured, which is indicated by the aperiodic CSI report request so as to transmit the calculated aperiodic CSI to the base station, wherein the aperiodic CSI report request indicates a report for one of a plurality of aperiodic CSI report sets, and the number of individual CSI reports included in each of the plurality of aperiodic CSI report sets can be independently set according to each aperiodic CSI report set.

The present invention discloses a method for setting CSI measurement and reporting, and a related device. The method includes: generating, by a network device, at least one CSI measurement setting, where each of the at least one CSI measurement setting includes at least one CSI reporting setting and at least one CSI-reference signal setting, the at least one CSI reporting setting is corresponding to at least one transmission scheme, and the CSI-reference signal setting is used by user equipment to measure CSI respectively corresponding to the at least one transmission scheme; sending, by the network device, the at least one CSI measurement setting to the user equipment by using first signaling; and sending, by the network device, second signaling to the user equipment, where the second signaling is used to instruct the user equipment to report CSI corresponding to one or more of the at least one transmission scheme to the network device. According to the present invention, CSI measurement and reporting requirements of UE in different transmission schemes can be met.

Disclosed are a channel status information (CSI) feedback and control method and device. The method comprises: a terminal receives trigger signaling sent by a base station, the trigger signaling being used for instructing the terminal to report CSI obtained within a specified measurement window; and the terminal reports the CSI that is measured by the terminal within the specified measurement window to the base station. Because a terminal reports only CSI that is measured by the terminal within a specified measurement window, the frequency of feeding back CSI by the terminal is reduced, and CSI feedback overheads are also reduced.
