Patent ID: 11910427

Abstract:
Wireless communications systems and methods related to dynamically triggering aperiodic CSI reporting are disclosed. A UE may determine whether a condition is satisfied for triggering upon receipt of a signal from a BS. The condition may be based on a decoding status of the signal. In some examples, the UE may explicitly request a CSI resource signal (e.g., CSI-RS, CSI-IM, or both) from the BS when the condition is met. The explicit request may be included in a modified ACK/NACK field, regardless of whether an ACK or NACK is transmitted. The BS may respond with a CSI resource signal. In other examples, the BS may wait to respond with a CSI resource signal until a threshold number of requests are received from the UE. In other examples, the BS may track a number of NACKs from the UE instead of relying upon an explicit request.
