A method and an apparatus for indicating the time of aperiodic channel status information (CSI) report in a wireless communication system are provided. The method for a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system includes receiving configuration information about a resource of a reference signal from a base station, receiving, from the base station, feedback configuration information set based on the reference signal, receiving, via a downlink control information (DCI), a feedback transmission timing and an aperiodic CSI trigger transferred in the same slot as the reference signal, estimating an aperiodic channel status between the UE and the base station (BS) based on the reference signal, generating feedback information based on the estimated aperiodic channel status, and transmitting the feedback information to the base station based on the feedback transmission timing.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for performing periodic and aperiodic CSI reporting for MIMO operations. According to certain aspects, operations for performing periodic and aperiodic CSI reporting for MIMO generally includes configuring a user equipment (UE) that is capable of MIMO with different parameters for periodic and aperiodic channel state information (CSI) reporting, wherein the different parameters indicate at least one of what resources to measure or what information to report, and receiving periodic and aperiodic CSI reporting from the UE according to the configuration.

A wireless communication method, a terminal device, and a network device are provided, and may meet requirements for communication performance of a 5G communication system. The method includes: a terminal device receives an activation signaling sent by a network device, wherein the activation signaling is used for activating the terminal device to persistently report first CSI; the terminal device reports persistently the first CSI to the network device after receiving the activation signaling until the terminal device receives a deactivation signaling sent by the network device, wherein the deactivation signaling is used for instructing the terminal device to stop reporting the first CSI.

A base station and mobile device (UE) may coordinate transmission of reference signals and reception of corresponding channel state information (CSI) reports. If a periodic reference signal is scheduled for transmission outside the on-duration period of the UE, even if the reference signal corresponds to a periodic CSI report scheduled to be transmitted by the UE during the on-duration period, the base station may not transmit the periodic reference signal, thereby allowing the UE not to prematurely exit a low-power state. The base station may instead transmit an aperiodic reference signal at a specified point in time later than the scheduled transmission of the periodic reference signal. The UE may receive the aperiodic reference signal and either transmit the periodic CSI report or an aperiodic CSI report in response, depending on how close to the start of the on-duration period the transmission of the periodic CSI report is scheduled.

Various embodiments include an apparatus to be employed by an enhanced Node B (eNB), the apparatus comprising communication circuitry to receive, from a user equipment (UE), feedback information and control circuitry, coupled with the communication circuitry, to identify a codeword from a three-dimensional codebook based on the feedback information received from the UE, wherein the communication circuitry is further to precode data to be transmitted to the UE based on the codeword. An apparatus to be employed by a UE and additional methods are described.

An electronic device at a base station end includes a processing circuit, the processing circuit being configured to: configure, in response to request signalling from a user equipment, an aperiodic beam-forming reference signal relevant to a first beam group for the user equipment, wherein the first beam group is determined by a base station according to channel state information periodically fed back by the user equipment; generate downlink control information, so as to indicate that the user equipment feeds back beam selection information according to the aperiodic beam-forming reference signal; determine, according to the beam selection information, one or a plurality of candidate beams and one or a plurality of corresponding second pre-coding codebooks; and determine an effective pre-coding codebook based on the one or multiple second pre-coding codebooks.

Various aspects of the present disclosure relate to beam management procedures in wireless communications systems. Some implementations of the present disclosure more specifically provide techniques for reporting measurements for proposed beams (such as beams predicted to be the best beams for communications to and from a UE and a network entity) and other beams detected by the UE. The techniques may be used, for example, to identify mismatches between a proposed set of beams and actual best beams for communications to and from a UE and a network entity and allow for the retraining of machine learning models used to identify the proposed set of beams for communications to and from a UE and a network entity.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine to report first channel state information (CSI), wherein the first CSI is associated with a parameter that indicates a priority of the first CSI. The UE may prioritize the first CSI over a second CSI based at least in part on the parameter. The UE may transmit an indication of the first CSI and may drop the second CSI based at least in part on prioritizing the first CSI over the second CSI. Numerous other aspects are provided.
