Technical Field

[0003] The following pertains to wireless communication, including non-periodic reporting of Channel State Information (CSI).

[0004] background

[0005] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content, such as voice, video, packet data, message sending and receiving, broadcasting, and so on. These systems can support communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple access systems include fourth-generation (4G) systems (such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-A Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems) and fifth-generation (5G) systems, which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems can employ various technologies, such as Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), or Discrete Fourier Transform Extended Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple access communication system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each of which simultaneously supports communication from multiple communication devices, which may also be referred to as User Equipment (UE).

[0006] Some wireless communication systems can support communication using one or more antenna arrays at different devices. For example, a network can communicate with a UE using one or more transmit / receive points (TRPs), where each TRP and UE can have one or more antenna arrays to form a directional beam. Efficient communication between each UE and one or more TRPs can help improve network throughput, latency, and reliability, and therefore further improvements to techniques for efficient communication are desirable.

[0007] Overview

[0008] The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses for supporting non-periodic reporting of Channel State Information (CSI). Various aspects provide techniques for communication between a User Equipment (UE) and a base station, wherein the UE can transmit multiple repetitions of uplink communication via different transmission beams to enhance the likelihood of successful uplink communication reception. For example, the base station can transmit signaling that schedules repetitions of uplink shared channel transmissions (e.g., Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmissions), including repetitions associated with two Probe Reference Signal (SRS) resource sets (e.g., two transmission beams). That is, PUSCH transmission repetitions may include a first set of repetitions associated with a first SRS resource set and a second set of repetitions associated with a second SRS resource set. By transmitting PUSCH transmission repetitions using both the first and second SRS resource sets, the reliability of PUSCH transmission can be higher compared to PUSCH transmissions utilizing a single SRS resource set.

[0009] The base station may additionally request the UE to transmit one or more CSI reports to the base station. For example, the base station may instruct the UE to transmit one or more non-periodic CSI reports to the base station. Additionally or alternatively, the base station may instruct the UE whether to multiplex one or more CSI reports with one of a first PUSCH transport repeat set or a second PUSCH transport repeat set (e.g., each set associated with a different SRS resource set), or whether the UE wants to multiplex one or more CSI reports with both the first and second PUSCH transport repeat sets. That is, in a first example, the base station may instruct the UE to multiplex one or more CSI reports with one of these PUSCH transport repeat sets. Here, the UE may transmit one or more CSI reports multiplexed with a PUSCH transport repeat associated with a single SRS resource set. In a second example, the base station may instruct the UE to multiplex one or more CSI reports with two PUSCH repeat sets. Here, the UE may transmit a first repeat of one or more CSI reports multiplexed with a PUSCH transport repeat associated with a first SRS resource set. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may transmit a second repeat of one or more CSI reports that are multiplexed with the PUSCH transmission repeat associated with the second SRS resource set.

[0057] Detailed description

[0058] In some wireless communication systems, a User Equipment (UE) can use uplink communication to communicate with a base station through multiple repetitions of different transmission beams to increase the likelihood of successfully receiving uplink communication. In some cases, the UE can transmit uplink communication based on parameters (e.g., the number of antenna ports, spatial domain filters or beams, rank or layer number, or any combination thereof) determined from a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource set (e.g., associated with the UE's transmission beam). For example, the base station can transmit signaling that schedules repetitions of uplink shared channel transmissions (e.g., Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) transmissions), including repetitions associated with two SRS resource sets (e.g., two transmission beams). That is, PUSCH transmission repetitions may include a first set of repetitions associated with a first SRS resource set and a second set of repetitions associated with a second SRS resource set. By transmitting PUSCH transmission repetitions using both the first and second SRS resource sets, the reliability of PUSCH transmission can be higher compared to PUSCH transmissions utilizing a single SRS resource set.

[0059] The base station may additionally request the UE to transmit one or more CSI reports to the base station. For example, the base station may instruct the UE to transmit one or more non-periodic CSI reports to the base station. Additionally or alternatively, the base station may instruct the UE whether to multiplex one or more CSI reports with one of a first PUSCH transport repeat set or a second PUSCH transport repeat set (e.g., each set associated with a different SRS resource set), or whether the UE wants to multiplex one or more CSI reports with both the first and second PUSCH transport repeat sets. That is, in a first example, the base station may instruct the UE to multiplex one or more CSI reports with one of these PUSCH transport repeat sets. Here, the UE may transmit one or more CSI reports multiplexed with a PUSCH transport repeat associated with a single SRS resource set. In a second example, the base station may instruct the UE to multiplex one or more CSI reports with two PUSCH repeat sets. Here, the UE may transmit a first repeat of one or more CSI reports multiplexed with a PUSCH transport repeat associated with a first SRS resource set. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may transmit a second repeat of one or more CSI reports that are multiplexed with the PUSCH transmission repeat associated with the second SRS resource set.

[0060] The aspects of this disclosure are initially described in the context of a wireless communication system. The aspects of this disclosure are subsequently described in the context of PUSCH transmission configuration and process flow. The aspects of this disclosure are further explained and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts relating to non-periodic reporting of CSI.

[0061] Figure 1 Examples of a wireless communication system 100 supporting non-periodic reporting of CSI according to various aspects of this disclosure are described. The wireless communication system 100 may include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an Advanced LTE (LTE-A) network, an LTE-APro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communication system 100 may support enhanced broadband communication, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission-critical) communication, low latency communication, communication with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof.

[0062] Base station 105 can be distributed across a geographical area to form wireless communication system 100, and can be different types of devices or devices with different capabilities. Base station 105 and UE 115 can communicate wirelessly via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 can provide a coverage area 110, and UE 115 and base station 105 can establish one or more communication links 125 on the coverage area 110. Coverage area 110 can be an example of a geographical area over which base station 105 and UE 115 can support signal communication according to one or more radio access technologies.

[0063] Each UE 115 can be distributed throughout the coverage area 110 of the wireless communication system 100, and each UE 115 can be stationary or mobile, or stationary and mobile at different times. Each UE 115 can be a different type of device or a device with different capabilities. Figure 1 The document describes some example UE 115s. The UE 115 described herein can communicate with various types of devices, such as other UE 115s, base station 105, or network equipment (e.g., core network nodes, relay equipment, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment). Figure 1 As shown in the image.

[0064] Each base station 105 may communicate with the core network 130, or with each other, or both. For example, base station 105 may interface with the core network 130 via one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via S1, N2, N3, or other interfaces). Base stations 105 may communicate with each other directly (e.g., directly between base stations 105), indirectly (e.g., via the core network 130), or directly and indirectly on backhaul links 120 (e.g., via X2, Xn, or other interfaces). In some examples, backhaul link 120 may be or include one or more radio links.

[0065] One or more of the base stations 105 described herein may include, or may be referred to by those skilled in the art as, base transceiver station, radio base station, access point, radio transceiver, B node, evolved B node (eNB), next-generation B node or gigabit B node (any of which may be referred to as gNB), home B node, home evolved B node, or other suitable terms.

[0066] UE 115 may include or be referred to as a mobile device, wireless device, remote device, handheld device, or subscriber device, or any other suitable term, wherein "device" may also be referred to as a unit, station, terminal, or client, etc. UE 115 may also include or be referred to as a personal electronic device, such as a cellular phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer, laptop computer, or personal computer. In some examples, UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, Internet of Things (IoT) device, Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or machine-type communication (MTC) device, which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances or vehicles, meters, etc.

[0067] The UE 115 described herein can communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115 that sometimes act as relays, as well as base station 105 and network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, relay base stations, etc. Figure 1 As shown in the image.

[0068] UE 115 and base station 105 can wirelessly communicate with each other via one or more communication links 125 on one or more carriers. The term "carrier" can refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting communication link 125. For example, a carrier for communication link 125 may include a portion of the radio spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth portion (BWP)) operating according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling coordinating carrier operation, user data, or other signaling. Wireless communication system 100 may support communication with UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. UE 115 may be configured to have multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation can be used in conjunction with frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) component carriers.

[0069] The signal waveform transmitted on the carrier may include multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform extended OFDM (DFT-S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM, a resource element may include a symbol period (e.g., the duration of a modulation symbol) and a subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the code rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements the UE 115 receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate the UE 115 can achieve. Wireless communication resources can refer to a combination of radio frequency spectrum resources, temporal resources, and spatial resources (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and using multiple spatial layers can further improve the data rate or data integrity of communication with the UE 115.

[0070] The time interval of base station 105 or UE 115 can be expressed as a multiple of a basic time unit, such as the sampling period T. s =1 / (Δf) max ·N f ) seconds, where Δf max This can represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, while N f This can represent the maximum supported Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) size. The time interval of the communication resources can be organized according to radio frames, each with a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame can be identified by a System Frame Number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0071] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or time slots, and each subframe or time slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may (e.g., in the time domain) be divided into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into several time slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of time slots, and the number of time slots may depend on the subcarrier spacing. Each time slot may include several symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix added before each symbol period). In some wireless communication systems 100, time slots may be further divided into multiple mini-time slots containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may contain one or more (e.g., N) symbols. f (Number) sampling periods. The duration of a symbol period can depend on the subcarrier interval or the operating frequency band.

[0072] A subframe, time slot, mini-slot, or symbol can be the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 (e.g., in the time domain) and can be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the duration of the TTI (e.g., the number of symbol periods in the TTI) can be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communication system 100 can be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0073] Physical channels can be multiplexed on a carrier using various techniques. Physical control channels and physical data channels can be multiplexed on a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM), or a hybrid TDM-FDM technique. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for physical control channels can be defined by the number of symbol periods and can extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) can be configured for a set of UEs 115. For example, one or more of the UEs 115 can monitor or search control regions for control information based on one or more search space sets, and each search space set can include one or more control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. An aggregation level for control channel candidates can refer to the number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with coded information in a control information format having a given payload size. The search space set may include a common search space set configured to send control information to multiple UEs 115 and a UE-specific search space set configured to send control information to a specific UE 115.

[0074] In some examples, base station 105 may be mobile, and thus provide communication coverage to mobile geographic coverage areas 110. In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. Wireless communication system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network, in which different types of base stations 105 use the same or different radio access technologies to provide coverage to various geographic coverage areas 110.

[0075] Wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable communication or low latency communication, or various combinations thereof. For example, wireless communication system 100 may be configured to support ultra-reliable low latency communication (URLLC) or mission-critical communication. UE 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low latency, or mission-critical functions (e.g., mission-critical functions). Ultra-reliable communication may include private or group communication and may be supported by one or more mission-critical services, such as Mission-Critical Talk-to-Talk (MCPTT), Mission-Critical Video (MCVideo), or Mission-Critical Data (MCData)). Support for mission-critical functions may include prioritization of services, and mission-critical services may be used for public safety or general business applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low latency, mission-critical, and ultra-reliable low latency are used interchangeably herein.

[0076] In some examples, UE 115 may also be able to communicate directly with other UE 115 on a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UE 115s utilizing D2D communication may be within the geographic coverage area 110 of base station 105. Other UE 115s in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of base station 105 or may be unable to receive transmissions from base station 105 for other reasons. In some examples, groups of UE 115s communicating via D2D communication may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system, where each UE 115 transmits to every other UE 115 in the group. In some examples, base station 105 facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communication. In other cases, D2D communication is performed between the individual UE 115s without involving base station 105.

[0077] Core network 130 provides user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. Core network 130 can be an evolved packet core (EPC) or a 5G core (5GC). The EPC or 5GC may include at least one control plane entity (e.g., a Mobility Management Entity (MME), Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF)) managing access and mobility, and at least one user plane entity (e.g., a Serving Gateway (S-GW), Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway (P-GW), or User Plane Function (UPF)) routing packets or interconnecting to external networks. The control plane entity manages non-access stratum (NAS) functions, such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management of UE 115 served by base station 105 associated with core network 130. User IP packets can be delivered through the user plane entity, which provides IP address allocation and other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to one or more network operator IP services 150. The IP service 150 may include access to the Internet, intranet, IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or packet-switched streaming services.

[0078] Some network devices (such as base station 105) may include sub-components, such as access network entity 140, which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with each UE 115 through one or more other access network transport entities 145, which may be referred to as a radio headend, smart radio headend, or transmit / receive point (TRP). Each access network transport entity 145 may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, the various functions of each access network entity 140 or base station 105 may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio headends and ANCs) or combined into a single network device (e.g., base station 105).

[0079] Wireless communication system 100 can operate using one or more frequency bands, typically in the range of 300 MHz to 300 GHz. Generally, the 300 MHz to 3 GHz band is referred to as a UHF band or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from approximately 1 decimeter to 1 meter. UHF waves can be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but these waves can penetrate various structures sufficiently for macrocells to provide service to UE 115 located indoors. Compared to transmissions using smaller frequencies and longer waves in the lower HF or VHF portions of the spectrum below 300 MHz, UHF wave transmission can be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 km).

[0080] Wireless communication system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio spectrum bands. For example, wireless communication system 100 may employ licensed assisted access (LAA), LTE unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in unlicensed frequency bands (such as the 5 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band). When operating in unlicensed radio spectrum bands, devices (such as base station 105 and UE 115) may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operation in unlicensed frequency bands may be based on carrier aggregation configuration (e.g., LAA) in coordination with component carriers operating in licensed frequency bands. Operation in unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, etc.

[0081] Base station 105 or UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas that can be used to employ technologies such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication, or beamforming. The antennas of base station 105 or UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels that can support MIMO operation or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly (such as an antenna tower). In some examples, the antennas or antenna arrays associated with base station 105 may be located in different geographical locations. Base station 105 may have an antenna array with several rows and columns of antenna ports that base station 105 can use to support beamforming for communication with UE 115. Similarly, UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that can support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, the antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for signals transmitted via the antenna ports.

[0082] Base station 105 or UE 115 can use MIMO communication to leverage multipath signal propagation and improve spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. This technique is known as spatial multiplexing. For example, a transmitting device may transmit multiple signals via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Similarly, a receiving device may receive multiple signals via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device; and multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices.

[0083] Beamforming (also known as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception) is a signal processing technique that can be used at a transmitting or receiving device (e.g., base station 105, UE 115) to shape or guide an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting and receiving devices. Beamforming can be achieved by combining signals transmitted via antenna elements of an antenna array, such that some signals propagating relative to a particular orientation of the antenna array experience constructive interference, while others experience destructive interference. Adjustments to the signals transmitted via the antenna elements may include the transmitting or receiving device applying amplitude offset, phase offset, or both to the signals carried via the antenna elements associated with that device. The adjustments associated with each antenna element may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., the antenna array relative to the transmitting or receiving device, or relative to some other orientation).

[0084] Base station 105 or UE 115 may use beamsweeping techniques as part of beamforming operations. For example, base station 105 may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to perform beamforming operations for directional communication with UE 115. Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be transmitted multiple times by base station 105 in different directions. For example, base station 105 may transmit signals according to different beamforming weight sets associated with different transmission directions. Transmissions in different beam directions may be used (e.g., by the transmitting device (such as base station 105) or the receiving device (such as UE 115)) to identify the beam direction that base station 105 will use for later transmission or reception.

[0085] Some signals (such as data signals associated with a specific receiving device) may be transmitted by base station 105 in a single beam direction (e.g., the direction associated with the receiving device (such as UE 115)). In some examples, the beam direction associated with transmission along a single beam direction may be determined based on the signals transmitted in one or more beam directions. For example, UE 115 may receive one or more signals transmitted by base station 105 in different directions and may report to base station 105 an indication of the signals received by UE 115 with the highest signal quality or other acceptable signal quality.

[0086] In some examples, transmissions performed by a device (e.g., by base station 105 or UE 115) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming to generate combined beams for transmission (e.g., from base station 105 to UE 115). UE 115 may report feedback indicating precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and this feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across the system bandwidth or one or more subbands. Base station 105 may transmit reference signals that can be precoded or unprecoded (e.g., cell-specific reference signals (CRS), CSI reference signals (CSI-RS)). UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoded matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., multi-panel type codebook, linear combination type codebook, port selection type codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals transmitted by base station 105 in one or more directions, UE 115 may use similar techniques to transmit signals multiple times in different directions (e.g., to identify the beam direction used by UE 115 for subsequent transmission or reception) or to transmit signals in a single direction (e.g., to transmit data to a receiving device).

[0087] A receiver device (e.g., UE 115) may attempt multiple receive configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals (such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) from base station 105. For example, the receiver device may attempt multiple receive directions by: receiving via different antenna subarrays; processing received signals according to different antenna subarrays; receiving according to different sets of receive beamforming weights applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array (e.g., different directional listening weight sets); or processing received signals according to different sets of receive beamforming weights applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of the antenna array, any of which may be referred to as "listening" according to different receive configurations or receive directions. In some examples, the receiver device may use a single receive configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). The single receive configuration may be aligned on a beam direction determined based on listening according to different receive configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have the highest signal strength, highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or other acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions).

[0088] In some wireless communication systems 100, UE 115 may communicate with base station 105 using uplink communication via multiple repetitions of different transmission beams to increase the likelihood of successfully receiving uplink communication. In some cases, UE 115 may transmit uplink communication based on parameters determined from SRS resource sets (e.g., associated with the transmission beams of UE 115), such as the number of antenna ports, spatial domain filters or beams, rank or layer number, or any combination thereof. For example, base station 105 may transmit signaling that schedules repetitions of uplink shared channel transmissions (e.g., PUSCH transmissions), including repetitions associated with two SRS resource sets (e.g., two transmission beams). That is, PUSCH transmission repetitions may include a first set of repetitions associated with a first SRS resource set and a second set of repetitions associated with a second SRS resource set. By transmitting PUSCH transmission repetitions using both the first and second SRS resource sets, the reliability of PUSCH transmission can be higher compared to PUSCH transmissions utilizing a single SRS resource set.

[0089] Base station 105 may additionally transmit a request for UE 115 to transmit one or more CSI reports to base station 105. For example, base station 105 may instruct UE 115 to transmit one or more non-periodic CSI reports to base station 105. Additionally or alternatively, base station 105 may instruct UE 115 whether to multiplex one or more CSI reports with one of a first PUSCH transport repeat set or a second PUSCH transport repeat set (e.g., each set is associated with a different SRS resource set), or whether UE 115 wants to multiplex one or more CSI reports with both the first and second PUSCH transport repeat sets. That is, in the first example, base station 105 may instruct UE 115 to multiplex one or more CSI reports with one of these PUSCH transport repeat sets. Here, UE 115 may transmit one or more CSI reports multiplexed with PUSCH transport repeats associated with a single SRS resource set. In the second example, base station 105 may instruct UE 115 to multiplex one or more CSI reports with two PUSCH repeat sets. Here, UE 115 may transmit a first repeat of one or more CSI reports multiplexed with PUSCH transport repeats associated with a first SRS resource set. Additionally or alternatively, UE 115 may transmit a second repeat of one or more CSI reports multiplexed with PUSCH transport repeats associated with a second SRS resource set.

[0090] Figure 2Examples of a non-periodic reporting wireless communication system 200 supporting CSI according to various aspects of this disclosure are described. In some examples, wireless communication system 200 may implement aspects of wireless communication system 100. For example, wireless communication system 200 may include base station 105-a and UE 115-a, which may be as described in reference Figure 1 Examples of the corresponding devices described. It should be understood that references to specific wireless devices (e.g., UE 115, TRP, base station 105) in the following figures are provided for illustrative purposes, and different wireless devices not specifically referenced herein may be used interchangeably with those described herein. Similarly, the operations described to be performed by UE 115-a may, in some cases, be performed by base station 105-a (or the TRP associated with base station 105-a), and vice versa.

[0091] In some scenarios, the communication interpreted in wireless communication system 200 may be an example of UE 115-a performing a non-periodic reporting of CSI in response to CSI request 220 from base station 105-a. Before transmitting CSI request 220, base station 105-a may transmit PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 to UE 115-a. In some instances, PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 may schedule one or more repetitions of uplink shared channel transmissions (e.g., PUSCH transmissions). For example, PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 may be Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling and may semi-statically configure the number of repetitions for PUSCH transmissions (e.g., via a pusch-Aggregation Factor value). In another example, PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 may be RRC signaling and may indicate different possible numbers of repetitions for PUSCH transmissions (e.g., within a Time Domain Resource Allocation (TDRA) table). Here, the PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 may additionally include downlink control information (DCI) or media access control-control element (MAC-CE) that instructs UE 115-a to use which of the possible repetitions for PUSCH transmission (e.g., via a 'repetition count' variable).

[0092] PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 may additionally configure the PUSCH repetition type for PUSCH transmissions. For example, base station 105-a may (e.g., via PUSCH scheduling signaling 210) indicate a PUSCH repetition type where each repetition of the PUSCH transmission is transmitted via the same set of time slots within a symbol. For example, base station 105-a may instruct UE 115-a to transmit each repetition of the PUSCH transmission via time slots four through ten within several symbols (e.g., the same number of PUSCH repetitions). In another example, base station 105-a may indicate a PUSCH repetition type where each PUSCH repetition is coherent. For example, each PUSCH repetition may be transmitted via a coherent set of symbols spanning time slot boundaries. In this PUSCH repetition type, base station 105-a may indicate a nominal number of PUSCH repetition transmissions, which may differ from the actual number of PUSCH repetition transmissions. In one case, a nominal PUSCH repetition transmission may include symbols spanning time slot boundaries. Here, UE 115-a may transmit two actual PUSCH repeats corresponding to a single nominal PUSCH repeat (e.g., each actual PUSCH repeat is associated with a symbol associated with a single time slot). In another case, UE 115-a may determine that one or more of the symbols associated with the nominal PUSCH repeat may be invalid (e.g., due to semi-static downlink symbols, symbol invalidation indications, synchronization signal block (SSB) symbols, or symbols associated with control resource set (CORESET) 0 for the type 0 physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). Here, the actual PUSCH repeat may include fewer symbols than the nominal PUSCH repeat.

[0093] PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 may additionally indicate that a PUSCH repeat may correspond to two SRS resource sets. For example, PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 may include a DCI indicating two SRS resource sets. In some cases, the two SRS resource sets may each be associated with a different transmission beam 205 of UE 115-a. For example, transmission beam 205-a may be associated with a first SRS resource set, while transmission beam 205-b may be associated with a second SRS resource set. Additionally or alternatively, each SRS resource set may be associated with a unique transmission power control parameter. When PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 indicates that a PUSCH repeat corresponds to two SRS resource sets, PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 may configure a first repeat set of PUSCH transmissions associated with the first SRS resource set and a second repeat set of PUSCH transmissions associated with the second SRS resource set.

[0094] In some instances, where base station 105-a is associated with multiple TRPs, panels, antennas, or combinations thereof, base station 105-a may transmit PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 indicating that the PUSCH corresponds to two SRS resource sets. Here, using multiple SRS resource sets to transmit PUSCH repetitions increases the reliability of PUSCH transmission compared to using a single SRS resource set. That is, if transmission of the first PUSCH repetition via transmission beam 205-a is blocked (e.g., base station 105-a does not receive transmission from transmission beam 205-a), base station 105-a can successfully receive the second PUSCH repetition transmitted via transmission beam 205-b.

[0095] Base station 105-a can transmit CSI report settings 215. For example, base station 105-a can transmit indications of CSI report settings 215 via RRC signaling (e.g., using the AperiodicTriggerStateList parameter). The RRC signaling can configure several trigger states (e.g., up to 128), each trigger state being associated with one or more (e.g., up to 16) CSI report settings (e.g., CSI report groups). For example, each trigger state can indicate the number of CSI reports associated with that trigger state.

[0096] Base station 105-a can transmit CSI request 220. In some cases, CSI request 220 can request UE 115-a to transmit one or more CSI reports 230 to base station 105-a. CSI request 230 can indicate one of the trigger states activated via MAC-CE. For example, CSI request 220 can be a field in the uplink DCI indicating one of the trigger states. Here, the size of the field including CSI request 220 in the uplink DCI allows base station 105-a to indicate any configured trigger state. For example, if base station 105-a is configured with 63 trigger states, the field of CSI request 220 can include six bits. Here, if each bit of CSI request 220 is '0', CSI request 220 may not request a CSI report.

[0097] Base station 105-a may additionally transmit multiplexing indication 225 to UE 115-a. Multiplexing indication 225 may indicate to UE 115-a whether to multiplex one or more requested CSI reports 230 with one of a first repeat set or a second repeat set, or with both the first and second repeat sets. In one example, base station 105-a may transmit multiplexing indication 225 via RRC signaling. Here, multiplexing indication 225 may be semi-statically configured in the bandwidth portion or serving cell RRC configuration. In another example, multiplexing indication 225 may be based on a trigger state indicated by CSI request 220. For example, base station 105-a may transmit a DCI indicating one of the trigger states, and each trigger state may be associated with multiplexing indication 225 configured by RRC signaling. In another example, base station 105-a may transmit multiplexing indication 225 via DCI. That is, DCI may include a field (e.g., a 1-bit field) that indicates whether UE 115-a wants to multiplex one or more requested CSI reports 230 with one of the first repeat set or the second repeat set, or with both the first repeat set and the second repeat set.

[0098] In the first example, multiplexing instruction 225 may instruct UE 115-a to multiplex one or more CSI reports 230 with one of the PUSCH transmission repeat sets in the PUSCH transmission repeat set. That is, base station 105-a may have been configured to transmit a first repeat set of PUSCH transmissions using a first SRS resource set and a second repeat set of PUSCH transmissions using a second SRS resource set. Additionally or alternatively, multiplexing instruction 225 may instruct UE 115-a to transmit one or more CSI reports 230 via one of the PUSCH transmission sets in the PUSCH transmission set (e.g., using the first SRS resource set or the second SRS resource set). Here, UE 115-a may multiplex CSI reports 230 onto a PUSCH transmission associated with an SRS resource set and transmit the CSI reports (which are multiplexed with the PUSCH transmissions) using transmission beam 205-a or transmission beam 205-b.

[0099] In the second example, multiplexing instruction 225 may instruct UE 115-a to multiplex two sets of repetitions of one or more CSI reports 230 with PUSCH transmissions. Here, UE 115-a may multiplex a first repetition of one or more CSI reports 230 with PUSCH repetitions from a first repetition set (e.g., associated with a first SRS resource set), and multiplex a second repetition of one or more CSI reports 230 with PUSCH repetitions from a second repetition set (e.g., associated with a second SRS resource set). Subsequently, UE 115-a may use transmission beam 205-a to transmit the first repetition of one or more CSI reports 230 (e.g., multiplexed with PUSCH repetitions from the first repetition set), and use transmission beam 205-b to transmit the second repetition of one or more CSI reports 230 (e.g., multiplexed with PUSCH repetitions from the second repetition set).

[0100] In one scenario, multiplexing instruction 225 may instruct UE 115-a to multiplex one or more CSI reports 230 with two sets of repetitions of PUSCH transmissions. Additionally or alternatively, the PUSCH may not have a transport block and may be scheduled by the CSI request field on the DCI (e.g., when the UL-SCH parameter of the DCI is set to '0'). Here, UE 115-a may assume that the number of PUSCH repetitions is two (e.g., even if PUSCH scheduling signaling 210 indicates a different number of repetitions). Additionally or alternatively, UE 115-a may transmit CSI reports 230 on both of the two PUSCH repetitions by multiplexing CSI reports 230 with both of the two PUSCH repetitions. In some scenarios, UE 115-a may additionally assume that the actual transmission of the two PUSCH repetitions and the nominal transmission of the two PUSCH transmissions are the same (e.g., no segmentation).

[0101] To multiplex one or more CSI reports 230 with two PUSCH repetitions, the UE may encode and rate-match uplink control information (UCI) (e.g., CSI reports 230) based on parameters (e.g., Betaoffset parameters) indicated by base station 105-a via DCI or semi-statically configured (e.g., via RRC signaling). In some cases, the size of each repetition of one or more CSI reports 230 may be the same for the first and second PUSCH repetitions. However, the two PUSCH repetitions may include different numbers of other UCIs. In some cases, this may affect the size of each CSI report in one or more CSI reports 230.

[0102] In the example of wireless communication system 200, UE 115-a can ensure that the number of decoded modulation symbols (e.g., the number of resource elements) for each repetition of one or more CSI reports 230 is the same for each PUSCH repetition. In one case, the size of other UCI payloads within each PUSCH repetition can be the same, thereby ensuring that the size of CSI report 230 is the same across PUSCH repetitions. Here, UE 115-a can additionally assume that the duration of two PUSCH repetitions is the same (e.g., the actual duration of each PUSCH repetition is the same). In the case where the size of CSI report 230 is the same and the duration of two PUSCH repetitions is the same, UE 115-a can determine the number of decoded modulation symbols (e.g., the number of resource elements) associated with each layer of CSI report 230 for one PUSCH repetition, and can use the same number of resource elements for CSI reports 230 multiplexed with another PUSCH repetition. In some instances, UE 115-a may use the number of resource elements associated with CSI report 230 based on an earlier or later transmitted CSI report 230, the number of resource elements associated with CSI report 230 (e.g., a CSI report with a larger number of resource elements, a CSI report 230 with a smaller number of resource elements), the duration of CSI report 230 (e.g., a CSI report 230 with a longer duration, a CSI report 230 with a shorter duration), or based on the SRS resource set (or corresponding transmission beam 205) associated with CSI report 230. In examples where the size of CSI report 230 differs, the duration of two PUSCH repetitions differs, or both, UE 115-a may determine that PUSCH repetitions carrying CSI report 230 may not carry any other UCI payloads to ensure that the size of CSI report 230 is the same across PUSCH repetitions.

[0103] Figure 3A and 3B Examples of a PUSCH transport configuration 300 supporting non-periodic CSI reporting according to various aspects of this disclosure are explained. For example, PUSCH transport configuration 300 may explain an example PUSCH transport configuration including PUSCH repeats 305 transmitted by different SRS resource sets and including one or more CSI reports 310. In some examples, PUSCH transport configuration 300 may implement as described in reference... Figure 1 and 2 The description covers various aspects of wireless communication. For example, for two PUSCH transmission configurations 300, the base station can configure (e.g., via RRC signaling, via DCI) two sets of PUSCH repeats 305, each set associated with a different SRS resource set, as referenced. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As described.

[0104] In the example of PUSCH transmission configuration 300-a, the base station can configure the UE to switch between transmitting PUSCH repeat 305 associated with a first SRS resource set and transmitting PUSCH repeat 305 associated with a second SRS resource set. In the example of PUSCH transmission configuration 300-b, the base station can configure the UE to first transmit each PUSCH repeat 305 associated with the first SRS resource set, and then transmit the PUSCH repeat 305 associated with the second SRS resource set.

[0105] For any configuration 300, the base station may additionally instruct the UE whether to multiplex one or more CSI reports 310 with a PUSCH repeat 305 associated with a first SRS resource set or a second SRS resource set, or with a PUSCH repeat 305 associated with both the first and second SRS resource sets. In a first example of PUSCH transmission configuration 300, the base station may instruct the UE transmitting the PUSCH repeat 305 to multiplex one or more CSI reports 310 with a PUSCH repeat 305 associated with the first SRS resource set. Here, the UE may multiplex one or more CSI reports 310 with the earliest PUSCH repeat 305 within the SRS resource set. In some cases, the first or earliest actual PUSCH repeat 305 may be different from the first or earliest nominal PUSCH repeat 305. Here, the UE may still multiplex the CSI reports 310 with the first or earliest PUSCH repeat 305. For example, the UE may assume that the first PUSCH repeat 305 associated with each SRS resource set has a duration greater than one symbol. In the case of PUSCH transmission configuration 300-a, the UE may multiplex one or more CSI reports 310-a with PUSCH repeat 305-a, which may be the first (e.g., the earliest) PUSCH repeat 305-a within the first SRS resource set. In the case of PUSCH transmission configuration 300-b, the UE may multiplex one or more CSI reports 310-c with PUSCH repeat 305-e, which may be the first (e.g., the earliest) PUSCH repeat 305-e within the first SRS resource set.

[0106] In a second example of PUSCH transmission configuration 300, the base station may instruct the UE transmitting PUSCH repeat 305 to multiplex one or more CSI reports 310 with a PUSCH repeat 305 associated with both a first SRS resource set and a second SRS resource set. Here, the UE may multiplex a first repeat of one or more CSI reports 310 with the earliest PUSCH repeat 305 associated with the first SRS resource set, and multiplex a second repeat of one or more CSI reports 310 with the earliest PUSCH repeat 305 associated with the second SRS resource set. In the case of PUSCH transmission configuration 300-a, the UE may multiplex a first repeat of one or more CSI reports 310-a with PUSCH repeat 305-a, which may be the first (e.g., earliest) PUSCH repeat 305-a associated with the first SRS resource set. The UE may additionally multiplex a second repetition of one or more CSI reports 310-b with a PUSCH repetition 305-b, which may be a first PUSCH repetition 305-b associated with a second SRS resource set. In the case of PUSCH transport configuration 300-b, the UE may multiplex a second CSI report 310-c with a PUSCH repetition 305-e, which may be the first (e.g., earliest) PUSCH repetition 305-e within a first SRS resource set. The UE may additionally multiplex a second repetition of one or more CSI reports 310-c with a PUSCH repetition 305-g, which may be a first PUSCH repetition 305-g associated with a second SRS resource set.

[0107] Figure 4 Examples of a process flow 400 supporting non-periodic reporting of CSI are explained according to various aspects of this disclosure. In some examples, process flow 400 may implement... Figure 1 All aspects up to 3. For example, UE 115-b can be as referenced. Figure 1 Example of UE 115 as described in 3. Additionally or alternatively, base station 105-b may be as referred to Figure 1 Example of base station 105 as described in section 3.

[0108] At 405, base station 105-b may transmit PUSCH scheduling signaling to UE 115-b. For example, base station 105-b may transmit signaling that schedules a first set of repetitions of a first uplink shared channel transmission (e.g., a first PUSCH transmission) associated with a first SRS resource set and a second set of repetitions of a second uplink shared channel transmission associated with a second SRS resource set. In some cases, base station 105-b may transmit a DCI scheduling the first and second repetition sets. Additionally or alternatively, the amount of repetition may be indicated by DCI or RRC signaling.

[0109] At 410, base station 105-b may transmit CSI report settings to UE 115-b. For example, base station 105-b may transmit RRC signaling indicating a set of CSI report groups, each associated with a trigger state. In some instances, at least in part based on the trigger state, the CSI reports associated with a given trigger state are multiplexed with one of a first repetition set or a second repetition set, or both. Additionally or alternatively, base station 105-b may transmit RRC signaling indicating a set of possible channel state information report settings (e.g., a set of CSI report groups).

[0110] At 415, base station 105-b may transmit a CSI report request to UE 115-b. For example, UE 115-b may receive a request from UE 115-b to transmit one or more CSI reports. In some instances, the CSI report request may indicate one of the possible CSI report settings (e.g., configured at 410). In some examples, base station 105-b may indicate the CSI report request by also scheduling DCI scheduling for the first and second repetition sets.

[0111] At 420, base station 105-b may transmit a multiplexing indication to UE 115-b. For example, UE 115-b may receive an indication that one or more CSI reports are to be multiplexed with one of a first repeat set or a second repeat set, or with both the first and second repeat sets. In one example, UE 115-b may receive the multiplexing indication by receiving RRC signaling that indicates one or more CSI reports are to be multiplexed with one of the first repeat set or the second repeat set, or with both the first and second repeat sets. In another example, UE 115-b may receive the multiplexing indication by receiving a DCI that triggers one of the indications (e.g., configured by RRC signaling at 410), where the DCI includes a request from UE 115-b to transmit one or more CSI reports and a multiplexing indication. In another example, UE 115-b can receive a multiplexing instruction via a DCI that instructs one or more CSI reports to be multiplexed with one of the first repeat sets or the second repeat set, or with both the first repeat set and the second repeat set.

[0112] At 425, UE 115-b may multiplex one or more CSI reports with a first PUSCH repeat. For example, UE 115-b may, based on receiving this instruction, multiplex a first CSI report from one or more CSI reports with a first repeat transmitted on a first uplink shared channel within a first repeat set, wherein the first repeat is transmitted before the remaining repeats within the first repeat set. In some cases, UE 115-b may multiplex a first CSI report from one or more CSI reports with a first actual repeat associated with the first repeat, which is transmitted before any other actual repeats associated with the first repeat.

[0113] At 430, UE 115-b may optionally multiplex one or more CSI reports with a second PUSCH repeat. That is, in cases where a multiplexing indication is used to indicate that one or more CSI reports should be multiplexed with either a first repeat set or a second repeat set, UE 115-b may not multiplex one or more CSI reports with a second repeat transmitted on a second uplink shared channel within the second repeat set, based on an indication received that one or more CSI reports should be multiplexed with both the first and second repeat sets, wherein the second repeat is transmitted before any other repeats within the second repeat set. In some cases, UE 115-b may multiplex a second CSI report from one or more CSI reports with a second actual repeat associated with the second repeat, which is transmitted before any other actual repeats associated with the second repeat.

[0114] In some examples, the first number of decoded modulated symbols in a first CSI report including one or more CSI reports is equal to the second number of decoded modulated symbols in a second CSI report including one or more CSI reports. In some cases, the first payload size of a first UCI included in a first repetition of a first uplink shared channel transmission is equal to the second payload size of a second UCI included in a second repetition of a second uplink shared channel transmission. Additionally or alternatively, based on the first payload size being equal to the second payload size, the first number of decoded modulated symbols is equal to the second number of decoded modulated symbols. In some instances, UE 115-b may determine the first number based on the payload size of the UCI included in the first repetition of a first uplink shared channel transmission, and may select the second number based on determining the first number.

[0115] At 435, UE 115-b may transmit one or more CSI reports to base station 105-b. For example, UE 115-b may transmit one or more CSI reports according to a multiplexing indication. In an example where the multiplexing indication is used to indicate that one or more CSI reports are to be multiplexed with both a first repeat set and a second repeat set, UE 115-b may transmit a first repeat comprising a first uplink shared channel transmission of the first CSI report in the one or more CSI reports via a first transmission beam associated with a first SRS resource set, and may transmit a second repeat comprising a second uplink shared channel transmission of the second CSI report in the one or more CSI reports via a second transmission beam associated with a second SRS resource set.

[0116] In some cases, UE 115-b can determine that there are two repetitions in the first and second repetition sets based on the absence of transport blocks associated with the first and second uplink shared channel transmissions, and the receipt of multiplexing instructions to multiplex one or more CSI reports with both the first and second repetition sets. Here, UE 115-b can transmit them by multiplexing the first and second CSI reports with two repetitions of the PUSCH transmission.

In some examples, multiplexing a second CSI report from one or more CSI reports with a first repeat includes multiplexing the second CSI report from one or more CSI reports with a second actual repeat associated with a second repeat, which is transmitted before any other actual repeat associated with the second repeat.

[0135] In some examples, the first number of decoded modulated symbols in a first CSI report that includes one or more CSI reports is equal to the second number of decoded modulated symbols in a second CSI report that includes one or more CSI reports.

[0137] In some examples, the payload manager 750 may be configured or otherwise supported to determine a first quantity based on the payload size of the uplink control information included in the first repetition transmitted on the first uplink shared channel. In some examples, the payload manager 750 may be configured or otherwise supported to select a second quantity based on the determination of the first quantity.

[0138] In some examples, the multiplexing component 745 may be configured or otherwise supported to multiplex one or more CSI reports with repeats from the first or second repeat set based on an instruction received to multiplex one or more CSI reports with one of the first or second repeat sets, the repeats being transmitted prior to the remaining repeats in the first and second repeat sets.

[0146] In some examples, in order to support the reception of signaling for scheduling the first and second repeat sets, the scheduling manager 725 may be configured or otherwise supported to support means for receiving DCI or RRC signaling indicating the number of repeats in the first and second repeat sets.

[0147] Figure 8 A diagram of a system 800 including device 805 supporting non-periodic reporting of CSI is shown according to various aspects of this disclosure. Device 805 may be an example of device 505, device 605, or UE 115 as described herein, or a component including such devices. Device 805 may wirelessly communicate with one or more base stations 105, UE 115, or any combination thereof. Device 805 may include components for bidirectional voice and data communication, including components for transmitting and receiving communications, such as a communication manager 820, an input / output (I / O) controller 810, a transceiver 815, an antenna 825, a memory 830, a code 835, and a processor 840. These components may be in electronic communication or otherwise coupled (e.g., operational ground, communication ground, functional ground, electronic ground, electrical ground) via one or more buses (e.g., bus 845).

[0148] I / O controller 810 manages the input and output signals of device 805. I / O controller 810 can also manage peripheral devices not integrated into device 805. In some cases, I / O controller 810 may represent a physical connection or port to an external peripheral device. In some cases, I / O controller 810 may utilize an operating system, such as... Or another known operating system. Additionally or alternatively, the I / O controller 810 may represent or interact with a modem, keyboard, mouse, touchscreen, or similar device. In some cases, the I / O controller 810 may be implemented as part of a processor (such as processor 840). In some cases, a user may interact with device 805 via the I / O controller 810 or via hardware components controlled by the I / O controller 810.

[0149] In some cases, device 805 may include a single antenna 825. However, in other cases, device 805 may have more than one antenna 825, which may be capable of transmitting or receiving multiple wireless transmissions concurrently. Transceiver 815 may communicate bidirectionally via one or more antennas 825, wired or wireless links, as described herein.

Transceiver 815 may also include a modem for modulating packets and providing modulated packets to one or more antennas 825 for transmission, and for demodulating packets received from one or more antennas 825. Transceiver 815, or transceiver 815 and one or more antennas 825, may be an example of transmitter 515, transmitter 615, receiver 510, receiver 610, or any combination thereof or components thereof as described herein.

[0150] Memory 830 may include random access memory (RAM) and read-only memory (ROM). Memory 830 may store computer-readable, computer-executable code 835, including instructions that, when executed by processor 840, cause device 805 to perform the various functions described herein. Code 835 may be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium, such as system memory or other types of memory. In some cases, code 835 may not be directly executed by processor 840, but may cause a computer (e.g., when compiled and executed) to perform the functions described herein. In some cases, memory 830 may, in particular, include a basic I / O system (BIOS) that controls basic hardware or software operations, such as interaction with peripheral components or devices.

[0151] Processor 840 may include intelligent hardware devices (e.g., general-purpose processors, DSPs, CPUs, microcontrollers, ASICs, FPGAs, programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic components, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof). In some cases, processor 840 may be configured to use a memory controller to operate a memory array. In other cases, the memory controller may be integrated into processor 840. Processor 840 may be configured to execute computer-readable instructions stored in memory (e.g., memory 830) to cause device 805 to perform various functions (e.g., functions or tasks supporting non-periodic reporting of CSI). For example, device 805 or components thereof may include processor 840 and memory 830 coupled to processor 840, wherein processor 840 and memory 830 are configured to perform the various functions described herein.

[0152] The communication manager 820 may support wireless communication at the UE according to the examples disclosed herein. For example, the communication manager 820 may be configured or otherwise support means for receiving signaling from a base station that schedules a first set of repeats of a first uplink shared channel transmission associated with a first SRS resource set and a second set of repeats of a second uplink shared channel transmission associated with a second SRS resource set. The communication manager 820 may be configured or otherwise support means for receiving from the base station a request from the UE to transmit one or more CSI reports. The communication manager 820 may be configured or otherwise support means for receiving from the base station an indication that one or more CSI reports are to be multiplexed with one of the first repeat sets or the second repeat set, or with both the first and second repeat sets. The communication manager 820 may be configured or otherwise support means for transmitting one or more CSI reports according to the indication.

[0153] By including or configuring a communication manager 820 according to an example as described herein, device 805 can support techniques for improving communication reliability.

[0154] In some examples, the communication manager 820 may be configured to use or otherwise coordinate with the transceiver 815, one or more antennas 825, or any combination thereof to perform various operations (e.g., receiving, monitoring, transmitting). Although the communication manager 820 is described as a separate component, in some examples, one or more functions described with reference to the communication manager 820 may be supported or performed by the processor 840, memory 830, code 835, or any combination thereof. For example, code 835 may include instructions that can be executed by the processor 840 to cause the device 805 to perform various aspects of the non-periodic reporting of CSI as described herein, or the processor 840 and memory 830 may be otherwise configured to perform or support such operations.
