Description

Technical Field

[0001] Some example embodiments typically relate to mobile or wireless telecommunications systems such as 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE), 5G Radio Access Technology (RAT), New Radio (NR) Access Technology, 6G, and / or other communication systems. For example, some exemplary embodiments may relate to systems and / or methods for using a CSI priority framework to determine the priority for triggering Mobility TM (LTM) Channel State Information (CSI) reports at Layer 1 / 2. Background Technology

[0002] Examples of mobile or wireless communication systems might include radio frequency (RF) 5G RAT, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access Network (UTRAN), Evolved LTE UTRAN (E-UTRAN), LTE Advanced (LTE-A), LTE-A Pro, NR access technology, and / or the MulteFire Alliance. 5G radio systems refer to next-generation (NG) radio systems and network architectures. 5G systems are typically built on top of 5G NR, but 5G (or NG) networks can also be built on top of E-UTRAN radio. NR is expected to support service classes such as enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC). NR is anticipated to deliver ultra-wideband, ultra-robust, low-latency connectivity, and massive networks to support the Internet of Things (IoT). Next-generation radio access network (NG-RAN) represents the radio access network (RAN) for 5G, which can provide radio access for NR, LTE, and LTE-A. It should be noted that in 5G, a node that provides radio access to user equipment (UE) (e.g., a Node B similar to UTRAN or an evolved Node B (eNB) in LTE) can be called a next-generation Node B (gNB) when built on NR radio, and a next-generation eNB (NG-eNB) when built on E-UTRA radio.

[0009] To correctly understand the exemplary embodiments, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0010] Figure 1 Examples showing flowcharts of methods according to various example embodiments;

[0011] Figure 2 Examples of various network devices according to some example embodiments are shown;

[0012] Figure 3 Examples of 5G network and system architectures according to certain example embodiments are shown. Detailed Implementation

[0013] It should be understood that, as generally described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, components of certain example embodiments may be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of some example embodiments of systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for determining priority for LTM CSI reporting using the CSI priority framework is not intended to limit the scope of certain example embodiments, but rather represents selected example embodiments.

[0014] Priority rules can be used for Channel State Information (CSI) reporting on Physical Uplink Shared Channels (PUSCHs). For example, for two overlapping PUSCHs, priority rules can be applied to physical channels with the same priority index. CSI reports can be linked to priority values. Related, among which y =0 is used for non-periodic CSI reports that will be carried on the PUSCH. y =1 is used for semi-persistent CSI reports that will be carried on the PUSCH. y =2 is used for semi-persistent CSI reports carried on the Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), and y =3 is used for periodic CSI reports to be carried on the PUCCH. Additionally, for CSI reports carrying Layer 1 (L1) reference signal received power (RSRP) or L1 signal-to-noise ratio (SINR), k =0, and for CSI reports that do not carry L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, k =1. Furthermore... c It can be a serving cell index, and It can be a higher-level parameter value. maxNrofServingCells Similarly, s It can be reportConfigID ,and M s It can be a higher-level parameter value. maxNrofCSI- ReportConfigurations If the associated Pri iCSI ( y , k , c , s If the value of the first CSI report is lower than that of the second CSI report, then the first CSI report may have a higher priority than the second CSI report.

[0015] If the time occupancy of the physical channel scheduled to carry CSI reports overlaps in at least one Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol, and the two CSI reports can be transmitted on the same carrier, then the two CSI reports may conflict. When the UE is configured to transmit two conflicting CSI reports, if y If the value differs between the two CSI reports, then it has a higher Pri value. iCSI ( y , k , c , s The CSI report for the value may not be sent by the UE unless... y One of the values ​​is 2 and the other y The value is 3. Otherwise, these two CSI reports can be reused or discarded based on the priority value.

[0016] If the semi-persistent CSI report carried on the PUSCH overlaps in time with the PUSCH data transmission in one or more symbols on the same carrier, and if the earliest symbol of these PUSCH channels starts no earlier than N2+d after the last symbol of the downlink control information (DCI) that schedules the PUSCH. 2,1 symbols (where d) 2,1 It is associated with the PUSCH carrying semi-persistent CSI reports and the PUSCH with data transmission. 2,1 If the value in the timeline is not met, then the CSI report will not be sent by the UE. Otherwise, if the timeline requirement is not met, this may be an error condition.

[0017] If the UE will transmit a first PUSCH including a semi-persistent CSI report and a second PUSCH including an uplink (UL) shared channel (SCH) on the same carrier, and the first PUSCH transmission will overlap with the second PUSCH transmission in time, the UE may transmit the second PUSCH instead of the first PUSCH. When at least one of the first or second PUSCH transmissions is in response to a DCI format detection performed by the UE, the UE can expect the first and second PUSCH transmissions to satisfy the aforementioned timing conditions for time-overlapping PUSCH transmissions.

[0018] The non-periodic CSI reporting process can assume that CSI reports are triggered by DCI format 0_1, but it can also be applied to CSI reports triggered by DCI format 0_2 by applying higher-level parameters. reportTriggerSizeDCI-0-2 Instead reportTriggerSizeThe time and frequency resources that the UE can use to report CSI can be controlled by the base station (e.g., gNB). CSI may include Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI), SS / PBCH Block Resource Indicator (SSBRI), Layer Indicator (LI), Rank Indicator (RI), L1-RSRP, L1-SINR, and / or Capability Index.

[0019] For CQI, PMI, CRI, SSBRI, LI, RI, L1-RSRP, L1-SINR, and capability index, the UE can be configured with N≥1 CSI-ReportConfig settings and M≥1 [unclear text - likely referring to specific CSI-ReportConfig settings] by a higher layer. CSI-ResourceConfig Resource settings, and / or a list of one or more trigger states (e.g., determined by higher-level parameters such as...) CSI-AperiodicTriggerStateList and CSI-SemiPersistentOnPUSCH-TriggerStateList (Given). CSI-AperiodicTriggerStateList Each trigger state in the context can contain associated states. CSI-ReportConfig List, CSI-ReportConfig The list indicates resource set identifiers for the channel and optionally indicates resource set identifiers for interference. CSI- SemiPersistentOnPUSCH-TriggerStateList Each trigger state in the context can contain associated states. CSI- ReportConfig .

[0020] Each report setting CSI-ReportConfig It can be associated with channel measurements. CSI- ResourceConfig The single downlink bandwidth portion (BWP) given in the text (composed of higher layer parameters) BWP-Id The CSI reporting band may be associated with the following parameters: codebook configuration (including codebook subset restrictions), time-domain behavior, frequency granularity for CQI and PMI, measurement restriction configuration, and CSI-related quantities that will be reported by the UE, such as layer indicator (LI), L1-RSRP, L1-SINR, CRI and SSBRI, and capability index.

[0021] CSI-ReportConfig The temporal behavior can be determined by higher-level parameters. reportConfigTypeThe indicator can be set to "non-periodic", "semiPersistentOnPUCCH", "semiPersistentOnPUSCH", or "periodic". For "periodic" and "semiPersistentOnPUCCH" / "semiPersistentOnPUSCH" CSI reports, the configured periodicity and slot offset can be applied to the UL BWP's parameter set, where the CSI report is configured to be sent on the UL BWP. Higher layer parameters reportQuantity It can indicate the amount that will be reported as CSI-related, L1-RSRP-related, L1-SINR-related, or CapabilityIndex-related. reportFreqConfiguration It can indicate the reporting granularity in the frequency domain, including the CSI reporting band and whether the PMI / CQI report is broadband or subband. CSI-ReportConfig In timeRestri ctionForChannelMeasurements The parameters can be configured to enable time-domain constraints for channel measurements, and ti meRestrictionForInterferenceMeasurements It can be configured to enable time-domain constraints for interference measurements. CSI-ReportConfig It can also include CodebookConfig It can include configuration parameters (including applicable codebook subset restrictions) for selecting Type I, Type II, Enhanced Type II CSI, or Further Enhanced Type II ports, as well as group-based reporting configuration. If reportConfigType If set to "non-periodic", the UE may not be expected to be configured with CSI reporting settings associated with a dormant DL BWP.

[0022] For version 18 LTM, L1 measurement RSRP reports for candidate cells can support UEs configured to perform measurements (e.g., RSRP measurements using the candidate cell's SSB) and report them to the serving cell. These measurement reports can then be used by the serving cell to make further decisions related to cell handover.

[0023] All types of reporting, including periodic reporting on PUCCH, semi-persistent reporting on PUCCH, semi-persistent reporting on PUSCH, and non-periodic reporting on PUSCH, are supported. In each report, the UE can be configured to select a beam across L cells from a configured pool of candidate cells. In each report, M beams for each of the L cells can be reported. Additionally, the UE can be configured to include the beam of the currently serving cell. Therefore, if the UE is configured with parameters set to "Enabled" or "True",... SpCellInclusionIf so, the UE can report M different SSBRIs for the current special cell (SpCell) and each of the L-1 candidate cells in a single reporting instance. Otherwise, the UE can report M different SSBRIs for each of the L candidate cells in a single reporting instance.

[0024] For L1 measurement reports used for gNB scheduling in Rel-18 LTM, such as uplink control information (UCI) reports, semi-persistent reports on the PUSCH, and / or aperiodic reports on the PUSCH can be supported. Within a single report instance, serving cells and candidate cells for intra-frequency and / or inter-frequency reporting can be included.

[0025] For beam selection for SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement reporting, beam selection can be performed across L cells from configured (or active, if introduced) cells (i.e., M beams for each of the L cells). M×L beams can be reported in a single reporting instance. The maximum value of M and L can indicate UE capability, and at least M×L=4 can be supported as a UE capability. The values ​​of M and L can be configured for the UE in the reporting configuration. The reporting configuration can indicate whether the serving cell is always selected in L cell selection performed by the UE, and applies when the UE is configured with L>=2, and whether at least one inter-frequency cell is always selected in L cell selection performed by the UE, and applies when the UE is configured with L>=2 and at least one cell is inter-frequency. For L1 measurement reporting scheduled by gNB, periodic and semi-persistent reporting of PUCCH can also be supported.

[0026] For beam selection used in SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement reporting, the RRC configuration candidate values ​​can be defined as M=1, 2, 3, 4 and L=[1], 2, 3, 4 for the values ​​of M and L. The maximum value of L and the combination of M and L can be based on UE capabilities. For beam selection for SSB-based L1-RSRP measurement reports, including the current SpCell in the L1 measurement report can be configurable.

[0027] Absolute and differential values ​​can be used in L1-RSRP reporting. For example, for absolute L1-RSRP, the L1-RSRP value can be quantized as a 7-bit value within the range [-140, -44] dBm with a 1 dB step size. For differential L1-RSRP, the L1-RSRP value can be quantized as a 4-bit value, where the differential L1-RSRP value is calculated based on a reference L1-RSRP value with a 2 dB step size. For each L1-RSRP report, the SSBRIs from the configured candidate cells can be included. The bit size of the SSBRI can be... ,in This can be the number of SSBs configured in the corresponding resource set used for reporting. The format in the table below can be used for reporting:

[0028] LTM can include L1 reports of SSB-based and / or CSI-RS measurements for candidate cells. While the CSI framework can be used to determine the priority of conflicting CSI reports, current prioritization rules do not consider specific aspects relevant to LTM. LTM CSI reports can be configured for UE reporting handover / cell handover related information (i.e., information used by the network to determine whether to hand over the UE to a candidate cell and which target beam to indicate to the UE (for performing HO)). Therefore, LTM CSI reports can be critical for network and UE performance (e.g., throughput / HO disruption).

[0029] Some of the example embodiments described herein may have various advantages and / or benefits to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages. For example, some example embodiments may utilize a CSI prioritization framework to determine the priority for LTM CSI reporting. Therefore, some example embodiments discussed below are aimed at improvements in computer-related technologies.

[0030] As described herein, an LTM CSI report or LTM report may include a CSI report configured for LTM measurements. In some example embodiments, an LTM CSI report may include a CSI report configured for lower-layer triggered mobility measurements. In some example embodiments, a CSI report may include a CSI report for serving cell measurements. In some example embodiments, a CSI report including serving cell measurements may be referred to as a beam management (BM) CSI report or simply a CSI report. In some example embodiments, a CSI report (i.e., a non-LTM CSI report) may be referred to herein as a beam management (BM) CSI or simply a CSI report.

[0031] In some example embodiments, a CSI report may include reports of one or more quantities, such as CQI, PMI, CRI, SSBRI, LI, RI, L1-RSRP, L1-SINR, and capability index.

[0032] In some example embodiments, CSI report priority processing / management for CSI reports may include determining priority based on one or more parameters, such as whether the CSI report is an LTM CSI report; whether the report includes a resource indicator (e.g., SSBRI) associated with the active TCI state for LTM; whether the report includes a PRACH for a resource indicator that has been sent (e.g., SSBRI); whether the report includes a UE-based TA for a resource indicator that has been measured (e.g., SSBRI); whether the report includes a downlink synchronization for a resource indicator that has been maintained (e.g., SSBRI); whether the report includes a resource indicator associated with SpCell (e.g., SSBRI) (i.e., for CSI reports, SpCell inclusion is configured); whether the report includes a resource indicator (e.g., SSBRI) included in the TCI state indicated for LTM before cell handover; and the LTM report time type. For example, the report time type (e.g., LTM) may be aperiodic, semi-persistent, or periodic.

[0033] In some example embodiments, the priority value for a CSI report can be determined based on whether the CSI report is an LTM report. For example, the UE can apply at least one parameter value to the priority calculation / determination, such as the at least one parameter value being related to the report time type and the CSI report being an LTM report; the at least one parameter value being related to the reported measurement and the CSI report being an LTM report; and the at least one parameter value being related to the report configuration identifier and / or configuration constraint related parameters and the CSI report being an LTM report. In various example embodiments, in the event of a conflict between two non-periodic CSI reports, the LTM CSI report may have a higher priority. It should be noted that any application of parameters can also be based on one or more conditions listed in some example embodiments.

[0034] In some example embodiments, the UE may determine the priority of a CSI report conflict between two LTM CSI reports of equal priority based on the SpCell inclusion in the CSI report. A CSI report including SpCell information may have a higher priority than a CSI report that does not include SpCell information. In some example embodiments, the UE may determine at least one parameter used to determine the CSI report priority value based on a specific cell inclusion in at least one CSI report. In some example embodiments, the UE may determine the priority of a CSI report conflict between two CSI reports of equal (value) priority; one of these reports is an LTM CSI report, and the other report may include a beam management (BM) CSI report. The LTM CSI report may have a higher priority. Alternatively, if SpCell information is included, the priority of the LTM CSI report may be higher than that of the BM CSI report and / or other LTM CSI reports. Priority determination may be performed in combination with the conditions provided in any of the example embodiments described herein.

[0035] In some example implementations, for two overlapping PUSCHs, priority rules can be applied to physical channels with the same priority index. The CSI report can be based on... Associated with a priority value. In various example embodiments, for a non-periodic CSI report to be carried on the PUSCH, or one of the non-periodic, semi-periodic, and / or periodic LTM CSI reports on the PUCCH / PUSCH, y =0. Therefore, at least one of the non-periodic / semi-persistent or periodic LTM CSI reports can have the same report time type parameter value as the non-periodic report used for BM CSI reports (e.g., y Furthermore, regarding the semi-persistent CSI report that will be carried on the PUSCH, y =1, for semi-persistent CSI reports that will be carried on PUCCH, y =2, and for the periodic CSI reports that will be carried on PUCCH, y =3. In another example embodiment, at least one parameter related to the time type of the report may have an LTM-specific parameter value (e.g., y A value is used to calculate CSI report priority. In various example embodiments, for k The value, if at least one of the overlapping CSI reports is an LTM CSI report, then for an LTM CSI report carrying L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, k =0; For CSI reports carrying L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, k=1; and for CSI (LTM and BM) reports that do not carry L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, k =2. In some example embodiments, the equal value for k can be applied to CSI reports that include LTM-related CSI information other than L1-RSRP or L1-SINR, as well as CSI reports that include L1-RSRP or L1-SINR (for CSI reports carrying Layer 1 (L1) Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) or L1 Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SINR) and LTMCSI reports). k =0). In various example embodiments, the value is... k =0 can be used for LTM CSI reports carrying Layer 1 (L1) reference signal received power (RSRP) or L1 signal-to-noise ratio (SINR). In some example embodiments, the value is... k =0 can be applied to LTM CSI reports. In various example embodiments, LTM CSI reports (i.e., those without RSRP or SINR) can have the same or lower priority as BMCSI reports (i.e., those without RSRP / SINR). For both LTM CSI and BM CSI (i.e., those without RSRP or SINR), the same priority can be applied by assigning / using the same parameter value (e.g., value k) related to the reporting quantity. For LTM CSI (i.e., those without RSRP or SINR), a lower priority can be applied by assigning / using a higher parameter value (e.g., value k) related to the reporting quantity than that used for BM CSI (i.e., those used for BM CSI). k The value of is applied. In some example embodiments, c It can be a serving cell index, and These are higher-level parameters. maxNrofServingCells The value; and s yes reportConfigID ,and M s These are higher-level parameters. maxNrofCSI- ReportConfigurations The value of . In some example embodiments, when calculating the priority used for LTM CSI reporting, This can be set to the maximum number of LTM candidate cells. In various example embodiments, for the value... c The primary cell index value (PCell, PsCell, or SpCell) can be used. In some example embodiments, the value... c It can be explicitly configured (e.g., via RRC). In some example embodiments, s It can be set to be related to CSI reports. reportConfigIDFurthermore, Ms can be set to maxNrofCSI-ReportConfigurations. maxNrofCSI-ReportConfigurations can be defined by RRC, and it is a fixed value for all CSI reports (e.g., after configuration). Additionally, reportConfigID can be associated with a specific CSI report; therefore, for each CSI report, it can have an associated reportConfigID.

[0036] For LTM CSI reports, the value s and / or M s It can be set to the lowest possible value. For configuration IDs, a lower possible value could be 0, which might... s Cover the lowest value (e.g., 0). In this way, CSI-ReportConfigId ::=INTEGER(0..maxNrofCSI-ReportConfigurations-1). The maximum value can also be the minimum value; therefore, the lowest possible value is 1. Additionally, maxNrofCSI-ReportConfigurations INTEGER ::=X (for example, X=1……48) can correspond to the maximum number of reports configured.

[0037] Alternatively, for LTM CSI reports, values ​​s and / or M s It can be set to a specific value in the LTM CSI configuration (e.g., for LTM). reportConfigID , maxNrofCSI-ReportConfigurations In various example embodiments, s It can be the LTM CSI configuration ID, and Ms It can be the maximum number of LTMs configured in the CSI report.

[0038] In some example embodiments, if associated Pri iCSI ( y , k , c , s If the value for a first CSI report is lower than that for a second CSI report, then the first CSI report can have a higher priority than the second CSI report. In various example embodiments, between two CSI reports with equal (e.g., value) priority, the report contained in the SpCell can be prioritized. In some example embodiments, between two CSI reports with equal (e.g., value) priority, the CSI report configured for LTM reporting can be prioritized.

[0039] If the time occupancy of the physical channel scheduled to carry the CSI report overlaps in at least one OFDM symbol and is transmitted on the same carrier, the two CSI reports may conflict. When the UE is configured to transmit two conflicting CSI reports, if y The values ​​differ between the two CSI reports, and unless y One of the values ​​is 2 and the other y A value of 3 (e.g., for CSI reports sent on PUSCH and / or for CSI reports sent on PUCCH) is required; otherwise, the UE cannot send reports with a higher Pri value. iCSI ( y , k , c , s The CSI report with the given priority value; otherwise, both CSI reports can be reused or discarded based on that priority value.

[0040] In some example embodiments, if the semi-persistent CSI report carried on the PUSCH overlaps temporally with the PUSCH data transmission in one or more symbols on the same carrier, and if the earliest symbol of these PUSCH channels starts no earlier than N2+d after the last symbol of the DCI that schedules the PUSCH. 2,1 symbols (where d) 2,1 It is associated with the PUSCH carrying semi-persistent CSI reports and the PUSCH with data transmission. 2,1 If the maximum value in the timeline is reached, then the CSI report does not need to be sent by the UE. Otherwise, if the timeline requirement is not met, this may constitute an error condition.

[0041] In some example embodiments, if the UE will transmit a first PUSCH including a semi-persistent CSI report and a second PUSCH including a UL-SCH on the same carrier, and the first PUSCH transmission and the second PUSCH transmission will overlap in time, the UE may choose not to transmit the first PUSCH but instead transmit the second PUSCH. When at least one of the first or second PUSCH transmissions is in response to a DCI format detection performed by the UE, the UE can expect that the first and second PUSCH transmissions satisfy the aforementioned timing conditions for time-overlapping PUSCH transmissions.

[0042] Figure 1 It shows that it can be generated by UE (such as Figure 2 The flowchart shown is an example of a method 100 performed by the UE 220 according to various example embodiments.

[0043] At step 101, the method may include: determining at least one CSI report priority value by the UE. This determination may be based on one or more of the following: at least one resource indicator associated with the active TCI state for LTM; at least one resource indicator indicating that PRACH has been sent; at least one resource indicator indicating that UE-based TA has been measured; at least one resource indicator indicating that downlink synchronization is maintained; at least one resource indicator associated with a specific cell; at least one resource indicator included in the TCI state indicated for LTM before cell handover; whether at least one CSI report includes an LTM CSI report; or at least one LTM report time type.

[0044] At 102, the method may further include: according to various example embodiments, the UE sending at least one CSI report to the NE based on at least one CSI report priority value, such as... Figure 2 NE 210 is shown in the figure.

[0045] In some example embodiments, at least one CSI report may include at least one LTM report, and determining at least one parameter value for calculating the CSI report priority value may be based on at least one of the following: report time type; the reported measurement; report configuration identifier; or configuration restriction related parameters.

[0046] The at least one parameter value may be related to the reporting time type. The at least one parameter value can be determined by applying the same parameter value, but lower than the parameter value applied to CSI reports that include non-periodic or semi-persistent LTM CSI reports, for CSI reports that include non-periodic or semi-persistent LTM CSI reports. Alternatively, the at least one parameter value can be determined by applying a lower parameter value than the parameter value used for CSI reports that include semi-persistent or periodic CSI reports, for CSI reports that include non-periodic or semi-persistent LTM CSI reports.

[0047] In some example embodiments, the at least one parameter value may be related to the reporting volume. The at least one parameter value may be determined by applying a first parameter value to CSI reports that include LTM CSI reports and applying a second parameter value, different from the first parameter value, to CSI reports that do not include LTM CSI reports. For RSRP or SINR reporting volumes, the first parameter value may be lower than the second parameter value. Alternatively, the first parameter value may be higher than the second parameter value, where the CSI report may include RSRP or SINR reporting volumes, and the LTM CSI report does not include RSRP or SINR reporting volumes.

[0048] In some example embodiments, for a parameter value associated with at least one of the report configuration identifiers, the method may further include applying the lowest report configuration identifier parameter from a plurality of report configuration identifier parameters.

[0049] In various example embodiments, for parameter values ​​associated with at least one of the report configuration identifiers or configuration limits, the method may further include applying an LTM report configuration-specific value, which is configured for at least one of a plurality of report configuration identifier parameters or configured for a configuration limit.

[0050] In some example embodiments, a first CSI report including an LTM CSI report may have a higher CSI report priority than a second CSI report that does not include an LTM CSI report (i.e., the priority of an LTM report may be higher than the priority of a CSI report that does not include an LTM CSI report). The first CSI report may conflict with the second CSI report.

[0051] In some example embodiments, determining at least one CSI report priority value may include: determining the at least one CSI report priority value based on a specific cell inclusion in at least one CSI report. The CSI report may include specific cell information, and the CSI report has a higher CSI report priority than a CSI report that does not include the specific cell information (e.g., by applying parameter values ​​to priority value calculation based on the SpCell inclusion).

[0052] In various example embodiments, the method may further include: determining a priority for a CSI report conflict between two equal priority (e.g., value) CSI reports, and applying a higher priority to the CSI report that includes the LTM CSI report. One of these reports may include the LTM CSI report. In some example embodiments, applying a higher priority to a CSI report with specific parameters or characteristics can be applied by applying an absolute priority (e.g., in the case of two equal priority CSI reports based on priority values, one of these reports may be given priority over the other based on additional conditions / characteristics).

[0053] Determining the priority of at least one CSI report may include applying a higher CSI priority to a first CSI report than to a second CSI report. The first CSI report may include an LTM CSI report, and the second CSI report may include a BM CSI report. In various example embodiments, a higher priority for a CSI report with specific parameters or characteristics may be applied by applying an absolute priority. In some example embodiments, an LTM CSI report may take precedence over a BM CSI report. In various example embodiments, when two CSI reports have equal priority values ​​(e.g., based on a CSI priority formula), an LTM CSI report may take precedence over a BM CSI report.

[0054] A first CSI report that includes an LTM CSI report may have a higher priority than a second CSI report that does not include an LTM CSI report. A first CSI report may conflict with a second CSI report.

[0055] A first CSI report that includes an LTM CSI report may have a higher priority than a second CSI report that does not include an LTM CSI report. A first CSI report may conflict with a second CSI report.
