CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION MEASUREMENT ADAPTATION TO MAXIMUM MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE-OUTPUT LAYERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18147259 titled 'CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION MEASUREMENT ADAPTATION TO MAXIMUM MULTIPLE-INPUT MULTIPLE-OUTPUT LAYERS

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure relates to techniques for adapting channel state information (CSI) measurement to maximum multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers. The method involves a user equipment (UE) receiving a CSI report configuration and determining a subset of resources on which to report CSI based on the expected number of MIMO layers. The UE then reports the CSI to a base station.

  • The method involves a user equipment (UE) receiving a configuration for reporting channel state information (CSI).
  • The configuration includes one or more CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resources, each comprising a resource set.
  • The UE determines a subset of resources on which to report CSI based on the expected number of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers.
  • The UE reports the CSI to a base station, where the reported CSI is based on the determined resource subset.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in wireless communication systems, particularly in the context of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques.
  • It can be used in various communication standards, such as 5G and beyond, to improve the efficiency and performance of wireless networks.

Problems Solved

  • The technique addresses the challenge of adapting channel state information (CSI) measurement to the maximum number of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers that a user equipment (UE) is expected to receive.
  • By determining a subset of resources on which to report CSI, the method optimizes the reporting process and ensures efficient utilization of network resources.

Benefits

  • The method allows for efficient reporting of channel state information (CSI) in wireless communication systems with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers.
  • By adapting the CSI measurement to the expected number of MIMO layers, the technique improves the accuracy and reliability of the reported CSI.
  • The optimized reporting process reduces overhead and enhances the overall performance of the wireless network.


Original Abstract Submitted

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel state information measurement adaptation to maximum multiple-input multiple-output layers. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving a first channel state information (CSI) report configuration including one or more first CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resources, wherein each first CSI-RS resource comprises a first resource set; determining, based on an indication of a maximum number of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) layers that the UE is expected to receive, a first resource subset on which to report first CSI; and reporting the first CSI to a base station (BS), wherein the first CSI is based on the determined first resource subset.
