METHODS FOR FAST SERVING CELL ACTIVATION WITH SHORT CHANNEL-STATE INFORMATION REPORTING

Abstract:

A method for communicating, by user equipment (UE), on a secondary cell (SCell) with fast activation or deactivation includes obtaining channel state information (CSI) configuration data including a short CSI reporting scheme that indicates a particular number of CSI reports for transmitting on physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources by the UE. The method includes sending the particular number of CSI reports on the PUCCH resources in accordance with the CSI configuration data. The CSI configuration data can be received from a serving cell of a new radio (NR) access node (gNB) in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) that indicates a status of a short CSI report configuration within a configuration list, and wherein the UE sends one or more of the CSI reports in accordance with the status of the short CSI report configuration.
