CQI REPORTING WITH PMI FREQUENCY DOMAIN UNITS

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for channel quality indictor (CQI) reporting with precoding matrix indicator (PMI) frequency domain (FD) units. A user equipment (UE) may configured with a CSI reporting configuration. CQI and PMI may be configured with different FD unit sizes. The UE may determine which PMI FD units to use for calculating corresponding CQI FD units. PMI and CQI FD units may not be aligned. The UE may determine which PMI FD units to use for calculating CQI based on the alignment. PMI and CQI FD units may be configured using a separate bitmaps, a bitmap and ratio of the FD unit sizes, or a single bitmap. PMI and/or CQI FD units may start from a lowest FD unit index in the system bandwidth, or the lowest FD unit index within a configured bandwidth part (BWP).
