Claim 26:
27. An apparatus, comprising:
means for receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission with downlink control information (DCI) signaling a scheduling parameter indicating a scheduling delay between an end of the PDCCH transmission and a beginning of a transmission scheduled by the PDCCH;
means for determining whether a value of the scheduling parameter is below a minimum threshold;
means for treating a channel state information (CSI) trigger associated with the DCI as invalid if the value of the scheduling parameter is below the minimum threshold; and
means for communicating the transmission scheduled by the PDCCH if the value of the scheduling parameter is not below the minimum threshold, wherein the scheduled transmission comprises at least one channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) transmitted on the downlink after an aperiodic CSI (A-CSI) request is triggered.
