CMR AND IMR CONFIGURATION ENHANCEMENT FOR MULTI-TRP CSI-RS REPORTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18754406 titled 'CMR AND IMR CONFIGURATION ENHANCEMENT FOR MULTI-TRP CSI-RS REPORTING

The abstract of this patent application describes a method for configuring channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) reporting in a network for user equipment (UE) in connected mode with multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs). The method involves encoding a single CSI-RS reporting configuration with multiple CSI-RS resource sets, each containing CSI-RS resources corresponding to different TRPs. The network decodes CSI measurement communications from the UE based on this configuration to schedule downlink data transmissions.

Original Abstract Submitted

Configuring channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) reporting at a network may include encoding a single CSI-RS reporting configuration for transmission to a user equipment (UE) that is in connected mode with both a first transmission and reception point (TRP) and a second TRP. The single CSI-RS reporting configuration may include a plurality of CSI-RS resource sets. Each of the plurality of CSI-RS resource sets may include a plurality of CSI-RS resources. At least one of the plurality of CSI-RS resource sets may include CSI-RS resources that correspond to the first TRP or the second TRP. A CSI measurement communication received from the UE may be decoded. The CSI measurement communication may be based on the single CSI-RS reporting configuration communication. Based on the CSI measurement communication, one or more downlink data transmissions may be scheduled.
