CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION (CSI) REPORTING FOR NEW RADIO (NR) SIDE-LINKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18125798 titled 'CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION (CSI) REPORTING FOR NEW RADIO (NR) SIDE-LINKS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a user equipment (UE) that can communicate wirelessly with a base station and another UE.

  • The UE has a transceiver and a processor.
  • The processor can determine specific channel state information (CSI) reporting elements from a set of options.
  • The processor can generate a MAC control element (MAC-CE) message.
  • The MAC-CE message includes an indicator for a second MAC-CE message and a CSI report.
  • The CSI report includes the selected CSI reporting elements.
  • The processor can transmit the MAC-CE message to the second UE through a side-link connection.


Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects are described for a user equipment (UE) comprising a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a base station and a second UE, and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to determine one or more channel state information (CSI) reporting elements out of a set of CSI reporting elements. The processor is further configured to generate a MAC control element (MAC-CE) message. The MAC-CE message comprises an indicator that indicates a second MAC-CE message and a CSI report. The CSI report comprises the one or more CSI reporting elements. The processor is further configured to transmit, using the transceiver, the MAC-CE message to the second UE via a side-link connection.
